 "How much danger every one runs each day of catching a malignant disease is very little known said doctor recently to a reporter. Many diseases, like hydro phobia, are only conveyed by coming in direct contact with an abraded surface. In other diseases it is wonderful the extent to which the communicating particles can be carried. Persons have taken the small pox a mile distant from the hospital Scar let fever Is very contagious. A dress fold ed up at the bed of a dying patient and placed in trunk has conveyed the poison to family of children four miles distant when the dress was unfolded in their pres ence after three months time has elapsed. Whooping.cough and diphtheria are prob ably never conveyed except by the breath of the patieat Measles is communicated a great distance and is communicated by the clothing and carried about by persons visiting tho sick room. It is certain that many diseases have been contracted by attending the funeral of some person who mas died of contagious disease Too much care can not be tnkeni in disposing of the clothing or disinfecting every thing that has been hear person suffering with a communicable disease After q patient mas shown tho first symptoms of scarlet fever it takes forty nine days before the patient is free from infection, smallpox dfty-six days, measles twenty-seyen days, diphtheria twenty eight days, humps twenty-one days and typhoid fever twenty eight days."--M '.

COB BILE PACKERS,
Poor Wretches Who Pick Up Living
 Around Iron NILS.

foor Wretches Who Pick Up a Living
 Around Iron Mills.
 A peculiar and not altogether pleas ing sight about the iron and steel works in this city is the groups of men, women and children that are con- stantly prodding and digging in the cinder dumps, and are known as "cob- ble pickers." The men are always old and frequently weak and tottering. The mark of poverty is on all women, and the children, who are in the ma jority, are abiect-looking creatures, and range from the age of eight to sixteen. Cobbles are the bits or iron and steel that remain among the cinders from the furnaces and are dumped with them on the cinder- piles. On the gathering of these bits of metal the small army of toilers re- ferred to depend for their living. With hoes and rakes they dig in the cinders as they are dumped, and struggle and push and wrangle for the possession of the metal as it is uncovered.
 Each picker has basket in which is placed the result of the pickings Over two hundred persons daily delve on the grimy dump for cobbles. While they will use all manner of means to secure possession of a lucky find in the dumps, after picker has filled his basket and emptied it on his pile" a few feet away, there is not one among the curious and by no means scrupu- lous pickers who would touch one of the cobbles in it. Each picker has his or her pile of cobbles, and the iron company's teams come around at inter- vals The driver weighs each pile, gives the owner a voucher for it, and takes the accumulated metal to the scrap heaps to be melted again.
 The earnings of the cobble-pickers range from $l0 to $40 a month, and there are women who have been on the dumps for years. The case of one woman and her twelve-year-old daugh- ter is notorious, because they earn not only their own living. but enough to feed and clothe the husband and father who is an employe of the iron-works, and gets $l0O a month, which he squanders in drink and riotous living as soon as he is paid. One old man on the cobble dumps, who is barely able to save enough to keep him from starv- ing. was once a prominent business man worth at least $50, 1000.
 The work of cobble-picking is one of the lowest forms of human occupation, and its degrading effect on the young girls and boys engaged in it is only toe apparent Many efforts have been made by church and other societies in Johnstown to suppress cObble-picking among the children, but with indifer- ent sucoess.-JoIHsto1on (Pa.)

THE BELLS OF JAPAN.
Their Deep and Wonderful Sweetness
 How They Arc Sounded.

Their Deep and Wonderful Sweetness--
 How They Arc Sounded.
 The bells of Japan are among it's loveli- est possessions. sae One of the sweetest of them rang out many times every day into the waiting air, in this far-aNay little city. Its tone was intensely thrilling and pathet- ic The bells are not sounded by clapper within, but are struck from the outside by a sort of wooden arm, or battering-ram- Being withdrawn to the proper distance and released, 1t strikes the bell once-asd the strokes are allowed to succeed one another only with a dignified and stately regularity. Tradition says the finest bells have much silver in their composition, which may account for their deep and wonderful sweetness. Whether this be 90 or not, tho bells make profound impres- sion upon all sensitive or musical organiza- tions, heretofore accustomed to the more dfscordant church bells of a newer civ ilization.
 And never did the lovely temple bell in Shilakawa ring out so sadly and delicious ly as one night when a great fire laid waste portion of the city Thirty or forty houses made fine blaze for two or three hours, and we watched it from the castle wall with pity and interest. The cracking of the flames as they licked up one little matched roof after another was terribly audible; so, too, were the helpless cries and shouts of the surrounding crowd--while the red nders were whirled far aloft and fell even around us. But through the confusion and tumuIt. the calm bell rang out it's indescrlbably beau tiful note--in quicker succession than usual, but losing none of it's dignity and sweetness, for all the discordant sounds 80 onear.-Mnbsl Lo0mis Todd. ii, Sf.

AN OLD ORGANIZATION.

Brief History Of the Foundation of the
 Society of the Cincinnati.
 A short time before the disbanding of the Continental army, in l783, an association called the Society of the Cincinnati was formed among the off cers of the troops stationed at New burg N Y. General Knox was the one who first suggested the society, the object Of which was to be the promo ton of friendship among the officers Of the army and the assistance of such of its members as might need help. Washington was chosen the first presi- deDt-of the society, and remained pres ident-general until his,death General Knox was the first secretary-general. Subsequently State societies were formed, auxiliary 10 the general soci- ety. In order that the society should not pass away with the generation that formed 1t, it's constitution pro- yided that the eldest masculine descendant of an original mem- Der should be entitled to wear the order and enjoy the privileges of the rbNANtAr IT oANOuHNEA WOiNllN OL NlAtNt by the other members. There was so much popalar prejudice excited by what was considered to be the germ of an hereditary aristocracy," that the right Of sussession was thus made sub- ject to the sote of the society on the worthy character of the eldest male descendant. A number of French of- ttccrs were made honorary life mem pers of the society. Washington was reelected tri-ennially to the office of president general us long as he lived. He was succeeded by Hamilton and the Pinckneys, andthe society was in all its vigor in ls24-5, when Lafayette then the only spviving Maior-General of the revolution, visited this country. The Connecticut society was dissolved in 1904 At near the same time the societies of New Hampshire. Rhode Island Delaware and Georgia were discontinued. Robert Burnet, of New York, who died in 1854, was tho Inst survivor of the original members of the association. The general Society of the Cincinnati is still

It is said that no two blades of grass resemble each other, but occasionally two people are to be found so ex- tremely alike that very regretable mistakes ensue. A case in point is that of young Frenchman named Tiquet, who was sentenced at 8 Paris police court to one months imprison- ment for defrauding several persons. He earnestly protested that he was in nocent, and that he was the victim of some mistake; but his accusers posit- ively swore to his identity, and he was 1t chanced, however, fortunately for him. that on the fol- lowing day another young man named Fillateau was brought up on q similar charge. and at once admitted his guilt The delinquent presented so wonder fuI a resemblance to Tiquet that the magistrate, perplexed, remanded the case for week, and sent for the i'm prisoned man to confront him with his second self and his accusers. The lat ter, in the presence of the two young men, wore entirely taken aback, one of them, however. frankly admitting his mistake, and stating that it was Fillateau, not Tiquet, who had robbed him--an assertion which the former confirmed The upshot is that Fills= teau has been sent te. iisrrs0n Tor six months, Ind an appeal has been lodged ,ssi1lis tite court that condemned Tiquet to get him out of jail.-London Stand 0~1 s+a
