The Prevention of Accilent..

In this country the legislatures has for
q long time shown that it considered
employers of labor to have duties to per-
form in seeing that those in their pay
run no unnecessary risks. In France,
however no attempt was made to deal
with this matter until 1874, when inspec-
tors were appointed with power to or
der changes in factories, with view to
the protection of children. This. how
ever, was found insufficient, and in 1884
a law was passed making the employer
responsible for accidents, except where
due to carelessness on the part of the
workman. In addition to this, to pro.
vide that class of risk which may be de-
scribed as inseparable from the trade,
compulsory insurance has to be effected,
one-half of the premium for which has
to be paid by the employer, and the re-
mainder by the workman. A further
proposal is now made to improve the
the sanitary arrangements of workshops,
as well as to bring about increased
safety.
In Germany and Austria similar en-
actlnents are in force. In France, how
ever, useful initiative has been taken
by certain unions. in which are repre-
sentatives of all kinds of industries, who
have inspectors of their own, and who
form a kind of council. at which full
consideration can be given to the best
means of preventing accidents Thus,
the engineers of one association have
taken. one by one, all machines of
dangerous character and entered mi
nutely into the best means to be adopted
for rendering them safe as far as posi-
BILE. These proceedings have proved
very beneficial. and have not only had
a local effect, but the recommendation
have been adopted in surrounding dis
tricts. Scientific American.

Englishmen do not, as a rule, realize

sized the evidences which showed that
the structure of the solid rocks might be

ANNAPOLIS, MD, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8. 1885,


In q treatise lately published by Pro-
fessor NJ Jaccond, of Paris, with the
above title, it is claimed that consump.
tion may be cured at every stage. The
authors conclusions are thus summar-
ized: THE incurability proclaimed by
Ln1necHnd his immediate successors is
disproved by pathological anatomy and
clinical observation. None should. there.
fore, allow themselves to be influenced
by such an opinion. which is but an his
torical souvenir. When the existence of
tubercles in the lungs is recognized it
should not be inferred from that moment
that he who has them is doomed to death
because of their presence. Should it be
found that the tubercles soften and a
cavity forms. it should not be- believed
that all is lost 1t has been shown that
this is not the case, and the natural
tendency which tuDercle has to fibrous
transmutation. that is, to recovery,
should not be forgotten. Before being
discouraged the physician should search
and examine necessarily whether the
patient is in the requisite conditions for
such favorable evolution.
IT all hope of absolute recovery must
be abandoned, relative cure should be
wrought. and an attempt made to place
the patient in such conditions that he
can live, notwithstanding the LESSONS
which are now irreparable; in a word
the plan adopted should be to strive, and
to strive always, with the unshaken
confidence that may be drawn from the
notion that recovery is possible. The
enemy can be conquered. This is the
idea that should engerder and sustain
every effort. 1t is certain that this con-
viction is the first condition of success,
since it is absence of faith in the possi-
bility of a cure which prevents the
adoption of good therapeutic treatment.

A Humor lists Trials.

A humorous lecturer is reported by the
Philadelphia Times as relating this In
cident:
gave the show In the hotel dining
room and had everybody roaring with
laughter. except one awfully sedate look
ing man. tried my funniest gags upon
him and was wild to awaken gurgle or
at least smile But all in vain. His
face was as solemn as tombstone through
it all. After the show, however. fancy
my surprise to see the melancholy -cuss
come up and give me congratulatory
shake of the hand.
Il must thank you, sir, for q very
pleasant evening. Your performance
was very clever. almost laughed, sir
ARENAS Ward used to tell a similar
but much better story. He said that
once while on lecture tour, night found
him at small town in Nevada. In the
landlord of the hotel he recognized
friend of bis boyhood who gave him 4
hearty greeting. Supper over the landlord
said to his guest
Now. Brown, we hardly ever have
any show of any kind in this place, and
] don't think we ever had lecture. Can't
you give us your lecture up in the bali
room It viii please the people might
lily, and I'll take it as great favor II you
will"
With characteristic good nature, Arte.
mas consented. The ball room was well
filed when he rose to speak, and before
he had been on his feet minute he made
an observation which provoked roar Of
laughter. At which the landlord, his~
face white with rage, rose and advanced
toward the platform with the remark
''One minute, Mr. Brown. - =
