Letters Of Recommendation.

Letters of recommendation iu this age OF
the world" said member to the corner
coterie," do not go very far with business
man. Your average business man goes a
good deal, in the present day, on his own
ability to size up an applicant. 1t is bit Of
vanity on his part that he likes to indulge in.
a mere letter Of introduction is good enough
IN its way, but even that has had its day and
doesn't count as it used to. | have two cases

NrcEssIrY ia IsOLATION.

The board reports that the experience
of the past year has made the necessity Of
isolation in the treatment of the disease
more apparent than ever All the cyl-
dence tends increasingly TO show that the
germs OF the disease may zoe carried by
persons in good health who have been in
contact with the sick, that they find place
IN clothing, bedclOthes and all other fab
res adhere to the walls, and wherever
they settle retain their power FOR mischief
for a considerable time. II the patient IS
properly isolated, these germs VIII die in
time. or can be destroyed by fumigaton
after the patients recovery and removal.
The board recommends that the isolation
should be for u long time, at least until
entire recovery from sore throat.

where no restrictive measures were taken,
there were $50 cases and 32y deaths.

REPORT OF THE NEW YORK STATE
BOARD. OF HEALTH.

Important Facts Regarding the Prey
nl.uce III u Dreaded scourge --sngges-
tons of .JtaI Interest to Everybody.
M. s.ity of Observation-Disclosures
The annual report Of the state board Of
health presents some important facts re-
gnrding the prevalence OF diphtheria-the
most important OF the zymotic diseases.
Probably few persons are aware OF the cX-
tent Of the havoc worked by this scourge
For three years past almost exactly one
third Of all the mortality from contagious
diseases has been due to it, aud during the
past year the percentage showed slight
increase. During the winter months 1t
sometimes reaches nearly oDe-halt tie
mortality under this head. The total
number Of deaths from diphtheria has
been increasing during the past three
vear.. being 4. 500 out of 81, 400 in 1888.
j. 600 out OF 81, 500 in 1886, and during the
twelve months ending Dec. |, 1851, G,21
out OF 81, 500.

Ii Is more destructive than diarrhnai
diseases, which, in summer, cause two
thirds OF the deaths from zymotic dis
eases. 1t was especially prevalent during
last autumn. causing ~ 2 per cent. Of the
deaths from zymotic diseases, but did not
reach the grim average OF the preceding
winter. Wnea it caused no less than 4IO
per cent Of such deaths. Practically the

states generally aud Ia the northern
countries Of Europe

Captains OF Education.

We have captains of industry and
finance. Why haye we not captains
OF education-men of leisure and cul-
ture, capable of enthusiasm and mi
tative, ready to throw themselves into
such cause and give it their earnest
consideration, their generous and
active support!
Among the Greeks, Plato, Socrates,
and Epictetus were the teachers.
Where shall we look for our great
leaders, masters, patriots even, who
will see education in its true light,
force Us to recognise teaching as one

Grover and Thurman!
The Democratic National Pow Wow
Ended.
09ce More the Ticket has all OF its
Brains in its Tail.

The Democratic national accouch-
ment which began at ST. Louis on the
9th terminated its labor pains on the
9TH, and the issue was us above intim
ated. When, in the desperation of the
case, and when almost anything was
acceptable to the party that expected
defeat, the ex-hangman of New York
captured the rabble in the convention
and was put at the head Of the ticket
four years ago, the party leaders soon
realized that they had secured plenty
of bowels but no brains for the contest
and an adjournment was taken for
time i'll which to cast about for someone
to put on the tail of their ticket that
would give it some intellectual stand
ing, and Tom Hendricks was nomina-
ted and it was because he was recog-
nized as a statesman and man of
large ability, though misguided in some
matters, that carried the ticket through
to success, aided by the New York re-
peaters.
Once more the story is repeated so
far as the first part is concerned.
Cleveland's position as a jailor has
stood him in good stead the past three
years and the dicipline he learned there
he has applied to his party with such
good effect, that, although he said four
years ago, that no man ought to have
more than one term, he has forbidden
any other of his party from daringssto
ask for it, and he has had himself re-
nominated. But he is just as short Of
brains now as then, and his party, after
swallowing him, paunch and all with
out greasing, had to rest for day
while its leaders looked about for a
tail to their kite that would give the
outfit a show of intelligence and re-
spectability. This they found in the
person of Mr. Thurman, of Ohio, who
is entirelysstoo good man to play Sc
cond fiddle to such a despicable leader.
But the party had another object in
view in nominating Thurman. 1t
knows full well that it has lost Indiana,
and something desperate must be done
to capture Ohio, and this.9fno doubt
was the argument used to induce Thur
man to belittle himself to the extent of
accepting the place 1t is a clear case
of the tail wagging the dog, and fin
this instance the dog and the tail will
both die in November next.

MODERN cam.

We find the following in the "Mir-
ror", little paper published by the
inmates of the Minnesota state prison
at Saltwater. Read it:
We read of the original Cain Gen
esis iv., 81 that he rose up and slew
his brother Abel. Ever since. for
5000 years, how many Gains did
arise and Stay their brothers? and up
to this very hour there are thousands
of them in our midst-Cains who not
not only STAY their brother for the
paltry dollar, but in many diderep.
ways.
| wish to call the attention of the
public to the modern Gains who are
staying their brothers with that dead
ly poison, strong drink. The saloon
keeper is asking the same question Of
the world to-day as did Cain of old,
"Am | my brothers keeper? Am
to blame for those naked feet? Am |
to blame for those halt-clad children?
Am | to blame for that broken heart
ed wife? Am | to blame for that
wrecked husbadd? Am | to blame
for the murder that was committed in
my bar room last night? Am I to
blame for the many thousands of
homes that are destroyed annually"
Oh, you murderersi can call YOU
by no milder name) How dare YOU
ask "am ny brothers Keeper" You
have sent innocent men to the gallows
and the penitentiary, and caused
nine-tenths of the crime committed in
our land.
And still The laws of our land per-
nit them to 30 OH with their deadly
work-men who are church members
-men who hold honorable positions
in society-will uphold and vote for
them.
They say that prohibition is a fail
ure and that whi8key is sold in the
oldest temperance state in the Union.
What if it is? Are not the license
laws broken, and don't they sell wills
ky to minors, and on Sunday; then
cry about 'prohi." laws being imposed.
| know there is great difficulty in sup
pressing this evil in large cities, where
there are whisky judges and whisky
mayors. But taken in general the
temperance cause is success.
| suppose you will say / am
"prohi." | think l ought to be- The
saloon has cost me good name, and
brought many a weary day to my
poor old parents and many friends
