DIphtherIa.
rNantl,,s Connnaninn

OF those who were attacked by yellow
fever during the prevalence of that
disease in Florida a year oI"two ago only
about one in eleven died. In the same
year there were / ,422 cases of diphtheria
in Boston, of which 47O, or one in three,
proved fatal. During the last eleven
years there have been 14,667 cases of
diphtheria in Boston, with an aggregate
of 1895 deaths.
Such fearful prevalence of this dead
ly disease with its incessant desolation
of homes is not by any means necessary.
In Glasgow, Scotland, its ravages have
been greatly checked by means of en-
forced isolation and disinfection, and
there is no reason why our own boards
OF health, if they were armed with the
requisite legal power and backed up by
wise public sentiment, might not be
able to accomplish a similar result.
Diphtheria is much more fatal than
smallpox, and the fact that it is less con-
tagious only increases the necessity of
compulsory isolation, for many persons
expose themselves unnecessarily to diph-
liberia who could not be induced by any
consideration to expose themselves to
smallpox.
1t is fact of public interest that diph-
liberia does not go from house to house
apart from personal communication. Elk.
cept in tenement houses, therefore, the
patient can be safely isolated at home,
provided the public is duly notified by
some simple but familiar signal attached
to the door. For such as cannot be safe
ly isolated at home adequate municipal
accommodation should be provided

what Dudes Can DO.

Young John Jacob Astor, the greatest
match in America, is down here, and is
going around under the chaperonage of
that social Wellington, Mrs. Paran Ste
vens. He is generally reported to be
nice boy, with that strong vein of good
aense that characterizes most of his fam
lily. But these young gentlemen, brought
up on Pinard's suppers and Klunders
flowers, have good deal of American
grit in them after all. One night last
week small sloop went ashore ON the
rocks at the foot of the cliff Although
the wind was blowing half gale, and
dinners were in progress at several of the
chm cottages, flock of young fellows in
evening dress appeared and worked like
lroJais gettng people ashore. That
seems to be the way with the gilded
youth everywhere Under the v9rnisb
of affectation and imitation comes tbe
zeal stuff-manliness and courage
