rheumatism,

The name rheumatism is very ancient,
and originally indicated every form of disor-
dered action now known popularity under the
term 'catching cold.' To-day, rheumatism
ia lis most restricted sense, means disease
accompanied by fever, not transferable
from the sick to the WELL in which one or
more joints are inilamed. In most cases,
follows exposure to the cold after violent ex-
ercise. A sudden abstraction of heat from
the surface follows, and there is more or
less marked chill followed by pain, swelling
and heat of joint and general fever.
1t occurs most frequently during the cold
season, say from September to April, and is
most liable to attack those whose avocaiions
expose them to sudden changes of tempera-
ture after exertiop. 1t is most common at
from 10 to 80 years of age, children under 4
and aged people being very seldom afflicted.
Scarlatina and dysentery are known TO rem
der the individual more liable to become
affected. The former during the period the
skin is being 81 ed and replaced, and the lat
ter when the patient seems to be ON high
way recovery but is still weak. Profnse loss
of blood is another cause that operates in a
few cases, and strong excitement of the emo
tions, such as a fright, while the body is per-
spring after excessive exercise, has been no.
tced to be followed by an attack in few
cases. There is evidet ce to show that
tendency to to the disease may be inherit
ed by the child from its parents or its an.
cestors. 1t is nearly unknown, if not quite
SO, among the natives of very hot and very
cold climates, and is limited, almost exclus.
lively to the inhabitants of temperate zones
One attack renders the person very liable tc
others and the more times they have beer
repeated the closer they come together ant
the longer they last.

EDUCATION vs.. THE BLAIR dill.

The Philadelphia Record, one of
the most careful Of our metropoli-
tan journals, has the following in
relation to tho Blair bill which we
heartily endorse
1.-THE result Of appropriatiny lump
sums of money for educational purposes,
the payer Of the money having no active
control over its disbursement, is illustra.
ted in the methods Of the soldiers or.
phans' schools in this state, which were
started wrong and have been wrongly
managed from the beginning. Tho mon.
ey OF the federal government which Mr.
Blair proposes to have spent to educate
illitsrats children in tho several states
would probably fall largely into the
hands Of syndicatss. Direct payment Of
school tax, on tho contrary, lead to a
direct interest on the part Of the tax.pay-
ers In the resulting advantages and in
quality and quantity Of tho advantage
obtained. The southern states are able
to educate their children Of all colors and
conditions. The measure Of what may
he done, however, il not to be ascertained
by counting noses. There are thousands
OF illiterats children'in Pennsylvania
who arc illiterate from choice rather than
necessity. Educational facilities have
grown in the north with the demand for
them. Such growth is healthy. The
same thing will prove true OF the south
ern states. There IL no danger Of ilit-
eracy continuing after such time as the
value OF knowledge begins to he oppre-
ciated."

IL Is true that We need better

THE: FIGURES.

a friend who is interested in tn,
subject asks for further statistics AZ
to tho condition Of our schools in
Florida and VIZ take the following
from the last report Of our state su.
perintenlent Of education. They
are pertinent just now because of
the reports being published in our
contemporaries who favor tho Blair
bill as we'll a. the discussion of our
illiteracy in congress.
Maj. Russell shows that the num-
Der of public schools in operation in
Florida for the year ending Sep.
TENDER 30th, 1884 was 1907; for the
year ending September 30, 1881 We
had in operation LIZA, showing an
increase of 29O schools in one year.
In 1883 We had l,s73, showing that
since then we have made a clear
gain of a5l. This Is a healthy
growth honorable to our state and
her people, made in the midst of
business struggles and all the work
incident to building railroads, clear.
Ing forests and settling n new coun.
try.
The average daily attendance for
the year ending Sept. aoth, 1854
was 80, ssl-for 1896 it was 1880,
being an increase of 0,979 for the
year just closed. Figures for lss3
are not at hand but we know VIC
should have q still better showing
If VIC could give them also.
The total school attendance for
1884 was bs,3ll flor 1885 it was o..
327, being an increase of 4,ol6. Is
this proof that "illitcracy is incrcas.
ing?"
The census taken in 1884 shows
tho number Of school children be.
tween the ages of six and twenty
one to be 66,79s; of these the an
nual reports Of the county superin-
tendents show that 69,397 were en-
rolled for the year lss5, aud the
average attendance from this num-
Der makes footing as good as that
given from any state in the Onion.
Now we tax ourselves so as to
give each child in daily average at
tendance $7.a1, making a grand to-
tal of ts35,OOO as against sl72,l7s
for 1884.
