wATERBURY's PLAGUE.

Professor Smith's Report on the
 Cause of the Typhoid Epidemic.
 Before the State Board of Health, Wednesday, Professor H. E. Smith, who was sent to Waterbury to investi- gate the unusual occurrence of typhoid fever in this city in June, made his re- port. He found that from the Sth to the 30th of June there were 47 cases of typhoid fever. Thirty-two occurred in families that were taking milk regularly from Dibble in Middlebury. Five more cases were in families who were pur- chasing their milk of grocerymen who procured their milk supplies from this same Middlebury farmer. Directly, then, thirty-seven of the forty-seven cases, occurring up to June 80, were in families that used that mllk. Of the ten remaining cases, five, it is believed, occurred from contamination with the other thirty seven cases, and it is believed, though not certainly traced, that two others had used the milk of the Mlddlebury farm. Further inquiries will be made in regard to the other three. Since the 30th of June there have been two or three more cases in the blocks or build ings where previous cases had occurred There were eleven cases in one block Of buildings, all of whom had used the milk in question.
 In regard to the farmers herd and their surroundings, it was found that the COWS appeared in healthy condi- tion, but the barnyard was very filthy the litter being deep and offensive: Near the barn was a tank of water fed through an iron pipe and faucet from spring located on a hill, of apparently good water. In this tank the cans were washed. It is believed that workmen washed their hands in this tank and then the water became contaminated by standing in barnyard of filth that germs enough were generated in this water to impregnate the milk, as it did not appear that the cans were scalded by water hot enough to kill the germs of

A MeariSOmc Subject.

People who are completely absorbed
IN their own own personality make the
grave error of surprising that the
subject of which they never tire is
equally interesting to others; hence, ii
they "enjoy poor health" it is their
habit to give effusive descriptions of
numerous aches and pains to whom
soevcr they meet. Now, illness, of all
things in the world, is the least inter
esting, and even in ones own family
soon becomes tiresome. Sympathy
called upon too often becomes to a GER
tain degree lessened, We can each re-
call too many people who make bodily
ills the stock subject for conversation
in and out of season, and feeling OF
depression inevitably follows their
minute recital We ought not to ig-
more real illness and expect it to leave
or pass by us because of our non
recognition, but we need not draw the
shadow of disease about our familt
gatherings and gala days by describ
ing every little pain that has
wearied us.

In these places the ground is perforated
by numerous small holes, each having a
diameter about equal to that of thin

continuous pushing in and pulling out of

part of ihc bill from the middle OF its
length aud then closing the points so as
to grasp the worm. This curyinI is
caused by the displacement of Il part of
the jaw bone. and the elasticity OF the
long upper jaw brings it back into place.
The curving of the bill generally occurs
while working under the surface of the
ground, and consequently tame birds are
seldom seen to do it. Long years ago
the writer had the good forjane to see
this movement made by Il tame bird, and
published an account of his observations
in 1865. As already stated, the birds
sometimes curve their bills when not
working in the ground, particularly when
devouring large worms. The accompany
