Prevention Of Disease.

The science and practice OF medicine
and surgery are undergoing a revolu-
tion of such magnitude and Importance
that its limits can hardly be conceived.
Looking into the future, in the light of
recent discoveries, it may not seem i'm
possible that time may come when
the cause OF every infectious disease
will be known; when all such diseases
will be preventable or easily durable;
when protection can be afforded
against all diseases, such as scar
let fever. measles, yellow fever, whoop-
ing cough, ETC., in which one at
tack secures immunity from subsequent
contagion; when, in short, no constitu-
tional disease will be incurable, and
such scourges as epidemics will be un-
known. These, indeed, may be but n
part of what will follow discoveries in
bacteriology. The higher the plane
of actual knowledge the more extended
is the horizon. What has been accom-
plished within the past ten years, as
regards knowledge OF the cause, pre-
vention and treatment OF disease, far
transcends what would have been re-
garded, u quarter OF q century ago, as
the widest and most impossible specu-
lation. Forum.

A New Work Harness.

II Is claimed by the manufacturers
that there is valuable invention and
revolution in the make and the ma
terials OF harness for work horses. IL
is said to be made OF steel, is applied
in an entirely new way, and does not
cost half as much as leather harness,
and will last ten times us long. We do
not know how much humbug there is
in the claims set forth for this new
revolution in harness. The New York
Tribune, in referring to it, says: at is
a general farm-work harness-takes
the place OF common leather harness
in every spot and place. For the COM
ing season 1t is not only greatly i'm
proved and strengthened by using a
better grade of steel, but 1t is now sold
at greatly reduced price, placing 1t
in reach of all" This is u subject
which comes home TO every farmer,
and II there is any better way In which
harness can be attached to horses. tho
sooner it is known the better. From
the pictures we have seen OF the har-
ness on horses, 1t must be radical

It is one OF the largest factories of the
kind ip the country. White birch is
exclusively used In the manufacture OF
the toothpicks, and about 10000 OF
the handy little splinters are turned
out daily. The logs are sawed up into
oolts each 2S inches in length, then
thoroughly steamed and cut up into
veneer. The veneer is cut up into long
ribbons, 3 inches in width, and these
ribbons, eight or ten OF them at time,
are run through the toothpick machin-
cry, coming out at the other end, the
perfect pieces falling into one basket,
the broken pieces and refuse falling
into another. The picks are packed
into boxes, $500 in a box, by girls,
mostly comely looking squaws, and arc

Worse Than Damages.

About ten o'clock OF dark night, as
we were speeding down the river from
Natchez, there came sudden hail out
OF the darkness, and the next instant
our steamer crashed into u hoop-pole
barge floating with the current and
having no light out, our wheel smash
ed the steering oar and made the
spllnters fly generally. and the boat
had been checked before single per-
son on the barge appeared in sight.
Then 1t was a bare-headed man, who
had yelled at us with his head out Of u
cabin window. He was followed bv n
woman, but while he was terribly ex-
cited she took matters very coolly.

manded, looking up at us.

THAT COUNTY JAIL.
A Citizen of Vernal Has Few Words About
It-0ther Matters.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
There have appeared in your columns re
Gently a number of articles from Ashley
which were, perhaps, correct in some OF
their items of news, but decidedly in error
as to particulars. Now, we do not care
whether "Americus" is the half baked in
dividual who roams Camp Occupation" al
large and who, though simple, is not YET
considered ready for the asylum, OF
whether he is the stray tramp we had here
a short time since; but we certainly would
like him to tell the truth, which he falls
far short of in respect TO the jail matter.
II understand the jail was purchased by
private individuals who expected TO sell II
10 the county-purchased it without
authoity > says Americas" Tramps and
simpler people should inform themselves be
fore writing for the press Had this one
gained access to the county records he
would have learned that the Jail was pur-
chased by order of the county court; that
it was purchased by one of the members OF
that court, notice of the purchase having
appeared in the columns of The HERALD
some time in October, 1887. The jail was
purchased from the Paully jail company.
1t was brought from Price station and To-
catedat Vernal by the selectmen Of Utah
county.
The notes of the county are now standing
out for portion Of the cost of the jail, and
private individuals had nothing to do with
it. Your CORES pOudent further says that
''Dudley's brewery Is in full blast" If by
this ne means liquor is being dealt out, ii
must be to buns and tramps who cannot
afford to buy the same, for no license, am
informed, has yet been issued to Mr.. bud
ley.
The7diphtheria cOntagiOn, though severe,
was not so serious as might have been
inferred from an article that appeared
in The HERALD some time ago. The disease
was brought here some time in June.
It was quarantined by the county officials
and thought to have entirely disappeared.
The quarantine was raised, and some time
in August the disease again appeared in the
family of Mr.. George Goodrich, who has
suffered most severely. A strict quaran-
tine was enforced, but the disease had be-
come considerably scattered and for time
caused general alarm. Physicians We're
secured from Fort Duchesne, and through
their assistance and the vigilance of the
quarantine officers, diphtheria, we hope,
has disappeared for good. The quarantine
has been raised and public gatherings,
meetings, Sunday schools, etc which have
been suspended for quite length of time.

There have been eleven fatal cases from

every one in their awful bereavement, and
every assistance has been given them, but
it is an awful blow to sustain.
Crops are being threshed and average
very well. There is abundance of hay in
the valley, but a limited market.
The general health of the people is good,
and we are preparing for winter, which
is rapidly approaching. CITIZEN.

But ii was no boy he brought
back with him, kicking, scratching

The bones of chickens were, how
ever, found in The loft among the
rubbish, and instinct probably led
her to The pantry. which small and

We concluded she was less crazy
than weak-minded from ill-Ireat
ment. Sometimes she spoke of
her brother as dead, al others she
asked what kept him away.

She soon became useful in a
small way, but we never heard
that our poor little waif really ever
had a plantation or any other
