How Diphtheria May be Spread.

Persons are often at a complete loss
to understand how diphtheria devel-
ops itself in some households" re-
marked a local physician few days
ago. "Here is a circumstance that
may give some light on the subject. a
few moments ago a man passed here
with wagon load of apples and garden
truck which he is peddling about town
Only couple of weeks ago malignant
diphtheria prevailed in his family and
several members died from the disease.
Now some of the refuse from the sick
chamber might have been splashed over
the straw placed in his wagon-be or
germs of the disease be in the sacks or
baskets, containing the fruit or vege-
tables he is disposing Of Should tie
disease break out in family making
purchases from this wagon. its mem
bers would be totally in the dark as to
how the dreaded malady originated.
don't say that such will be the case
in this instance. 1t simply serves as
practical illustration of how dIphtheria
may, and, no doubt, is sometimes un-
Willingly spread through community. -

Halloween.

The amusements of this eve greatly
vary IN different localities, and among
different people. In some sections, par
ties, where all the ladies, are dressed in
calico or kindred material, and their
male attendants are arrayed in vests,
coats and neckties of the same mateaial,
are the vogue. Frequently the young
ladies send sufficient material, like their
gowns, for the gentlemeu'5 outfits, to
the house of the person who gives the
party. Then on an evening, a week
previous to said party, all the gentlemen
invited, meet and select their materials.
This they have made in coats, vests and
neckties, without knowing to whom
they are indebted. On Halloween, as
each gent walks into the reception-room,
he selects, for his partner, the young
lady wearing the gown that matches his
coat. Thus, according to tradition, he
learns his fate in the lottery of matri-
mony. Another way is, for each lady,
to make a necktie from material like
the gown she is ID wear. AL these
neckties are pct in box, in the gentle
mems dresslng-room and each selects
what to him, is the prettiest and most
neatly made. He chooses, for his part.
ner. the young lady with gown to
match.
The menu of this feast embraces nuts
apples doughnuts and cider, anc some
times a simple domestic cake. The gen
tlemen of the party should. to carry ou
the idea" crack all the nuts. auC
then act as walters, passing the refresh
ments to the ladies. Noservants should
appear on the scene.

Preparations for Winter Dairying.

The present is the time to begin pre-
parations for making butter in winter.
The first requisite is that the cows shall
come during the months or September
and October. and calculations must be
made accordingly. The advantages of
changing from the old systems of sum-
mer dairying 20 winter operations are
so great that many OF the most intelli-
gent and progressive dairy farmers have
adopted the latter method. They thus
escape the daily and exacting labor OF
the dairy during the busy summer
months, when the general operations
of the farm demand the most attention.
The COWS go dry during the sultry days
os midsummer, when the pastures are
the most parched and scanty. There
is no butter to be kept over through the
hot season, when keeping it in good or
der is the most difficult and prices are
tages are greatly IN favor of winter
dairying, which has been made practi-
cable by the modern improvements in
deep sitting, preserving fodder in silos,
centrifugal separating, etc. With this,
as with other important changes, it is
the first step that costs. The first
step, as indicated above, is TO hold the
cows back so they will come in during
September of next year. In the viciE-
ity OF a butter factory IL is desirable
that the majority of the patrons shall
agree to make the change, that the fac
tory may be kept running through the
winter. Those who already have cows
which will come in next fall, or can buy
them, most see that good shelter is pro-
vided, with plenty of ensilage, means
for taking the chill from the drinking
water, etc. 1t is idle to object to this
system as unnatural" for the cows.
| The dairy COW, as we have her to-
day, is an artificial product anyway.
which has been brought to her present
state Of development by long course
of breeding and care. 1t is only step
forward in the same direction to change
her season of greatest milk flow from
summer TO winter.

LIME may not show its beneficial
effect on the soil for year or two, as
the character Of the soil must be con-
sidered. Lime adds hut very little val
uaoie plant food to the soil, as all soils
contain lime. but its chemical action on
the inert mater OF the soil Hberates
other substan ces that would not be
otherwise available. 1t should be app
piled as regularly as manure in order to
secure its assistance in decomposing the
plant food already existing in the soil.

NARNIsH made with alcohol will get
dull ana spongy by the evaporation Of
the alcohol, which leaves water ID the
varnish, as all commercial alcohol con-
tains water. 1t is therefore advisable
TO take thin sheet of galatine, cut 1t
into strips and put it into the varnish :;
1t will absorb in the thin sheet most of
the water, and the varnish can be used
clear and bright till the last drop. The
galatine will get quite soft it can then
oe taken out and dried, and used again.

To Husband and Wife.

Preserve sacredly the prIvscies Of
your own house. your married state and
your heart. Let no father, mother or
brother ever presume to come between
you, or share the joys or sorrows that
belong to you two alone. With mutual
help build your quiet world, not allow

confident of aught that concerns your
domestic peace. Let moments of alien
alton as they occur, be healed at once.
Never, no never, speak of it outside,
but to each other confess, and all will
come right. Never let the morrow's

Heights OfClOuds.

At sunset we see band Of stratus
clouds in the west, seeming to rest upon
the horizon. How far distant from the
point OF observation is the place where
those clouds are directly overhead a
Stratus clouds ere varible in height.
Generally low in winter and higher IL
summer. Their height may be from
500 TO 5000 feet. Clouds 500 feet may
be seen oG the horizon at 80 miles dis
tant. At 1000 feet high they may be
seen 80 ar more miles, and at 5000 feet
60 miles.
What is the average height above the
earth's surface of the approaching
storm cloud, as we see it creeping up
from the horizon before a thunder OF
rain storm q? OF the cumulus OF the
ciIrusp A. Thunderstorm clouds are
very variable in height-500 to 5000
feet. The clouds in thunderstorms may
be very deep, two or five miles or more.
Hence the appearance as to distance is
very deceptive. Cumulus clouds are
intermediate, and generally occupy a
position from 20OO to 5000 feet above
the earth. Cirrus clouds are the high
est, aud are from 10, 600 to 80, ,OO0 above
the earth.
What rule may be given for finding
the distance OF clouds from the place of
observations when their angular distance
above the horizon and their approxi-
a he oh he 20 Go
are known. y. Calculations for the
distance and height of clouds are very
uncertain, from the difficulty of obtain
ing correct observation; simultaneous
trigonometrical triangulation from a
known base, and computation, are the
only method of determining the dis
tance.

stayed; for the time was passed when
danger was to be anticipated from be-
low, and no vigilance was relaxed to
maintain complete isolation on deck.
Even two stray cats who strayed into the
sick quarter were promptly thrown over
board. The Mariposa entered The gates
OF Sydney on the twenty-frst day of the
disease, with all we'll on board except
the patient. The quarantine authorities
we've ready for her reception. In an hour
the entire ships company was inspected
and arrangements perfected for putting
the lad and his father on the hospital
ship. A chair was slung over the side,
and they were lowered into boat and
rowed away.
The long agony was over, and it was
with an indispensable sigh of relief that
the ship and her company were turned
over to the health authorities by those
who had watched and hoped so anxious
ly for twenty-one days. Promptitude
and energy characterized the action of
the courteous and energetic Health In
spector, DR.. J. Ashburton Thompson,
and his able Superintendent of Quaran-
tine, J. F. Vincent, and the ship was
free, with about one half of her officers,
crew and passengers, in three days.
This was unprecedented in the history
of quarantine in New South Wales, but
it was the logical result of the care
which had been exercised on the ship.
Hitherto a vessel had been detained
from fifteen to twenty-one days after the
case of smallpox had been removed from
her; but the Mariposa was detained only
from Friday until Monday, just long
enough, indeed, for the formalities of
pratiQue to be completed. In his report
to the Board of Health the Inspector
closes with these words: ''Lastly, beg
leave to express the opinion that in this
case everything was done that could be
done by owners, surgeon and master
under similar circumstances"

them demurred, and some utterly re-
fused to submit The result was that
the contumacious few were quarantined
at Sydney for twenty-one days after the
removal of the boy from the ship. At
the present day, when compulsory vac
cination is in force in almost every en-
lightened nation in Christepdom, it does
seem but simple justice to travellers that
their lives should not be jeopardized by
the ignorance or foolhardiness of those
around them, and authority should be
lodged in the masters and surgeons of
passenger ships to enforce vaccination
should smallpox make its appearance en-
route.
Upon the ships arrival at Auckland
she was at once placed in the strictest
quarantine, and every effort to land the
patient and thus to rid the vessel of the
focus of contagion was unavailing. Even
the Colonial Governor was consulted,
but all to no purpose. If the patient had
been booked for Auckland they would
kindly have consented to take him and
let the ship pay all the expenses; but as
he was bound for Sydney, to Sydney
he must go, After this barbarous treat
ment, nothing was left but to resume our
weary pilgrimage; but it was with ever
increasing hope that the disease was
