The Use Of GermicIdes.

During the prevalence of epidemic dis
eases, suc!, as yellow fo"cr, typhoid fever
and chOlera. 1t Is better to use in pr;vy
ynults, cessooola, ETC., those antiseptics
which arc also Gi5infectants-i c., gern7i-
cideE; md when the contents Of such re-
ceptacles IRE known to be infective, this
becomes imperative.
Tie infectious character Of the Gejec-
lions of patients suffering from cholera
and from typhoid fever is well estab-
lished; and bis is true Of mild cases and
OF the earliest stages of these diseases rs
we'll as Of severe and fatal cases. 1t is
probable that epidemic dysentery, tuber-
culosis and perhaps diphtheria, yellow
fever, scarlet fever and typhoid fever may
also be transmitted by means of the alvine
discharges OF the sick. It is, therefore, of
the first importance that these should lie
distnfected. In cholera, aighsheria, vel
low feveF aal scarlet fever all volnitcd
material should be looked upon as infec-
tous. And in tuberculosis, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and infectious pneumonia
the sputa of the sick should be lisinfccted
or destroyed by fire. 1t seems advisable
also to treat the urine of patients sick
with an infectious disease with one Of the
disinfecting solutions above recommended.

There is at present in the Hospital of
the Charity a young non-commissioned
officer, as he would be called in England,
who is undergoing treatment as q victim
to opium smoking. The soldier, who is a
man of education, has given a remarkable
account of his experiences as an opium
smoker. lie says that while in TOnkin,
or Cochin China, one of the French gen.
erals caused an order to be issued against
the use Of the drug, and this very prohibi-
ton was the means of making several
men try opium smoking through curiosity.
The ncn-commissioncd officer went with
some comrades to the smoking saloon of q
village. There u woman came to him and
filed a long pipe with a small ball Of what
appeared to be a thick brown syrup, made
as consistent as wax. This the soldier
was pressed to take, and placing its bowl
over lamp which was aight, he inhaled
what seemed to be the fumes of sugar and
burned apples.
He was at first rendered i'll, but after a
second pipe was plunged into the ecstatic
dreams described by De Quincy, Baude-
laire and II. Paul Bcrnetain. He seemed
to float in bath of luEewarm milk, and
memories that had long lain buried passed
clearly through his imagination. He
recollected forgotten melodies, snatches of
songs and extracts from favorite authors;
but when he awoke from the reverie he
was perspiring with pain and fear. After
this he kept up the habit for six months,
smoking thirty graElmes of opium on tho
day of his departure for France. The
man at present looks rather livid, and his
general appearance is that of a person who
had been raralyzed. 1t is expected, how
ever, that he will be brought round by the
treatment of the hospital physicians

The men, for the most part, 60 about in
blue blouses, with little OF nothing under

necklets of metal and glass, and aro as
gay as rainbows besides in /pafd colored
cotton and wool. The lnsses loved being
sketched, moreover. They stuck their
plump arms akimbo, ses themselves well
on their legs and stood like things of
brass as long as they were asked to stand.

Varied Tastes Of BoarderD.

Among lot of boarders there are al
ways few who will kindly look after
your interests for you. II man 60 out
occasionally they will remark you are out
a great deal; if one speaks Of ladies they
will say you are lady's man, and if one
mentions having been in the company Of q
half dozen or more ladies in a week they
will exclaim: "Why, you are indeed very
much of u lady's man." They will even
venture to suggest that marriage would
lie happy transition for you, and will try
to unravel the network of circumstances
which las kept you single. If one talks
at all they presume on good nature and
attack him from all sides. 1t is hard to
oppose the attacks of lady boarders, and
they will dig up good deal of your life in
spite Of you. This is the way they do ut
our boarding house. ......-. ...-....,...-.
/ But the saddest matter of them all is
the stories that are told. We hear them
recited every day of such age that their
oldncss makes US shed tears In pity for
their dccayed originality. The red headed
girl still lives with us, and it makes a
shudder to think what we will have next.
Then there is brought in once week or
oftener a clipping from the paper to be
read. We have our pugilst who is going
to train for the physical culture it will
give him; there is the lawyer who talks
of bootller trials and points of law and of
justice strunSled by the mob but now re-
vivel; the artist tells us of the beauty of
the sunsets glow and in the evening
shadows paints the city red; the musician
scores US with recitals from the masters,
and were those worthy ones to wake from
their long sleep their choice would be
eternal punishment to that of listening to
interpretations like these. Then there
are these who discover something funny
in one whom no one else has SO far known
to say g. witty thing, who viii punch that
one up to get his wit and there sit and
coolly sip. We have tho young married
couples who come to us fresh from the
fields Of matrimony whose tender touches
of love bring cur hearts in sympathy with
them and make us wish we could be like
one of these. And SO we have house
hold varied in tastes and an even balance
that we may not swing too far any way
and some one to knock the points off at
every corner.-"A. L. c." in Chicago
