SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

Whether or not there is any truth in
the persistent rumors which continue to
circulate to the effect that one or two
isolated cases Of smallpox exist in our
midst, it behooves the Board OF health
in its official capacity, as we'll as every
private individual, to observe with the
utmost compunction those principles OF
cleanliness which form the primary safe
guard against epidemic disease. The
rayages Of smallpox are only too familiar
to those who were here during the last
visitation. 1t is scarcely probable that
a second outbreak would be as severe,
because the sanitary condition OF the
city is greatly improved since then.
But, do what we will in the application
Of sanitary science, if the disease once
gets a foothold it is bound to be
scourge that will be severely felt.
Vaccination is not the only precaution
70 be taken. Personal cleanliness and
the use OF disinfectants play more i'm
portant part than many people, espec-
tally among the laboring classes, are
wont TO realize, for they create an I'M
congenial soil in which to propagate
disease In view OF this, it would not
be out OF place at the present juncture,
when we are in almost weekly commune
icatiOn with an injected port, to enforce
the free use of disinfectants wherever it
may be judged they are needed.
The undue crowding of tenements OF
the lower class has in a great measure
been provided against by the regulations
imposed by Act of Parliament after the
great fire of 1886. That section of the
city over which the confagration ex-
tended undoubtedly harbOred the worst
often ;ers u this respect. But they are
not the only ones. Some portions of
Chinatown which were left untouched
by the fire, where cOngregate for the
most part the poorer ones OF the race,
fall far short OF sanitary requirements;
and in some Of the outskirts of the city
numbers OF small tenements are grad
ually springing up in such close proXim-
ity as to suggest the probability that a
few years hence masses of humanity
will be huddled together there as they
formerly We're in Chinatown. In order
to provide against such a contingency it
is highly necessary that a building law
should be enacted to apply to all vacant
town and suburban ground similar regu-
lations to those imposed within the fire
limits It's necessity was demonstrated
there to the understanding of all the
need is equally apparent in other quar-
ters to such as can see into the future
and picture to the minds eye a time
when the increase of population shall
have gone on apace.

A Needle Through a Cent.

We know that one body is harder than
another when it is capable of scratching
the latter. A piece of glass scratches
marble, a bit of diamond scratches glass;
SO glass is harder than marble and the
diamond is harder than glass. The steel
blade of a knife scratches copper; so
steel is harder than copper, and it IS not
impossible to pierce Il copper coin with a
needle that IS much harder than it. The
problem at first sight appears insoluble,
because If we endeavOr to drive d needle
into cent just as we would drive nail
into a board, we never fail to break the
needle at every attempt, since steel, al
though very hard, is very brittle. But
if, through some artifice, we succeed in
holding the needle straight and rigid
over the cent, we can drive it into the
copper with hammer. To do this it is
only necessary to introduce the needle
into a cork of the same length, when, be-
ing held in a true sheath, it will be I'M
able to bend in any direction and can be
given hard blow in the direction of its
axis without being broken.
Under such circumstances place the
needle and its cork over a cent laid upon
a bolt nut or even upon table that you
do not fear to injure, and then take q
somewhat heavy locksmith's hammer
and strike the cork hard blow. If the
blow straight and q very hard one the
needle will pass through the cent, and it
will be impossible to remove it. The ex-
pertinent may be tried with any other
piece of money. We should add that
success may not attend the first blow,
and it will be necessary to make several
trials; but the fact is real, and .ve have
on hand cent thus traversed by a slen-
der MISUNDERSTANDING American.

Latter Day Saints in Ohio.

An interesting revival of Mormonis1n
is going on at Kirkland, O., the place
where this curious faith was first pro-

do not believe in or practice polygamy,
and so long as they do not break the
laws of Ohio nobody objects to them. In
