The following Il an extract from the
eloquent speech Of COmmander-in-Ch thief
: : Bur,iett, at the National Eneamp-
ment Of the Grand Army Of the Repab-
lie al San Francisco:

closing Of great accounts. OF the COM

Potomac all are now gone Ii is yet a

Conaueror Was he who shaped its first
rude mass into that finished blade which,
though sometimes beat down, vet never
lost its edge or temper, and under whose
blow at last the greatest of the leaders
and of the armies Of the Rebellion sub

country. | shall do the greatest honor Of

suffering from the disease. We have had
/ the care of scores of diphtheria patients
and we can refer to quite number of
families of children where the disease
was limited 10 one child, and We verify
believe that the fumes of burning sui
phur were instrumental IN preventing
the spread Of the disease IN these eases.
In all eases where diphtheria breaks
oat in school, no children should be
permitted TO 20 to school from houses
where the disease exists. After school
hours in the evening the school rooms
should be thoroughly fumigased with
sulphur. This should De done daily, but
the house should be free from the sui
phur fumes during school hours. for the
coughing and sneezing that might result
from the sulphur fumes would create
great annoyance and confusion. Where
diphtheria prevails in Il family, the pa.
tient or patients, if they are two OF three
attacked at the same time, should be $50
lated, confined 20 one ROOM and all the
children not affected should be kept in
some remote part of the house, or remov-
ed from the house entirely if practicable.
In either case, whether any Of the chill
dren are removed from the house or not,
every room, including the one occupied
by the patient, should be fumigated with
sulphur two or three times daily.
The most convenient method of fumi-
eating Is TO drop pinch of fsulphur upon
hot stove, if there is one in the room
if there be no stove in the room, a few
Goals ON shovel or other convenient
utensil may be carried into the room, and
the sulphur may be dropped on the
Goals. A little experience viii soon en-
able any one 10 determine how much
sulphur to burn in each room 1t is not
necessary to ill the room so full Of these
sulphur fumes as to suffOcate Us, and if
we happen to burn a little too much
sulphur in apy given case, and the fumes
became offensive, the doors and windows
can be opened for minute or two.
Other disinfecttHts may be employed,
but these sulphur fumes will permeate
every creviee in the house; they are
breathed by us, our clothes are saturated
with them, and, withal, we regard this
as the most practical and effectual meth
od of disinfeetion against the spread of
diphtheria that can be adopted And
where diphtheria- prevails in a neighbor-
hood, and families fear its outbreak
among their children, they should resort
sulphur fumigation daily, whether diph-
liberia has appeared in the house OF not;
this may prevent its outbreak in families
that might otherwise suffer from it. At
least this precaution does not cost much,
and can do no harm. These sulphur
fnmps will do lis no injury

Their Methods of Training.


Ever since athletic sports have been
followed people have put themselves ON
record through mis-statements about
prize fighters and their methods OF train
ing-how this or that mans death was
caused by overtraining or too rapid a
preparation for any special feat No
question has brought to light 50 mnch
gross ignorance as this one Il Is not
overtraining that causes the trouble, bat
insufficient work. or total negligence Of
trimming The writer's experience dates
back 10 the time when drenching and
many hours of fttigaing work were the
rule, and, even with all their errors, the
trainers Of quarter of a century ago got
their men into better condition than the
latter day trainers do.
The modern trainers 90 10 the other
extreme, as they scarcely work their
charges at all, pneferring 10 have their
men big and strong rather than thin and
over,irawn. Some have struck the hap
py medium, and they invariably present
their men in good trim. This is gener-
ally accomplished by slow and careful
work. which, while not being snowy, Is
none the less thorough. One of the
most radical errors modern trainers
plunge into il the rushing system. They
get hold of strapping young fellow, who
i high in flesh, and think that by the
driving process they can get him liz in
fortnight. They generally do sueceed in
getting him down to the last stage Of
sparseness of flesh, but the athletes

pertiuous tissue.

who can reduce very rapidly and retain

and vitality. Yet even these find con-
slant and speedy training spells take all

ing spell of preparation finds them less
inclined than ever to jump out and take

that an athlete has lost none Of his old

such methods as these have ruined
more men than anything else, for a lazy
man will do more harm in a week than
can be undone in a month. No one,
