things 1t is attributed to Is the drink
ing water or drain pipes, and the doc

investigate those things. and half OF
the time they pronounce the water all

ton. and bother themselves no further
for the cause. II the investigation
were continued the germ Of the dis

from all the family and sometimes
many more. are shut up in little dark
space and the closet door kept shut all
the time to hide the trash because 1t
doesn't look nice. Besides the clothes
kept here you can often find old shoes
covered with green mould, and old
hats by the Wholesale. Is it any won
der that disease is found in such
homes? II your closet contains no

be aired when the room is aired. and
let the soiled clothes be kept some

Intentional Taking OF Diseases.

We learn that the inducement OF q
first attack of smallpox was an antique
practice in Africa, Persia and China,
says the Popular Science Monthly, and
that the method OF incubation was
brought from there to Constantinople
in 1878, and from that town to Eng
land by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.
The idea was evidently to produce n
mild attack Of the disease in individ-
uals placed under circumstances most
favorable to recovery in order to in
duce immunity. The practice, III
though open to- serious objections.
must have had no little success. and
was much resorted to in the middle OF
the last century. Another practice
which Is not 80 rare as one might be
inclined to believe Is the inducement
Of measles. Many people are under
the impression that unless children
have had all the ordinary exanthema-
tous fevers 1t Is almost desirable that
an opportunity should occur for them
to have mild attacks Of these fevers;
and have known OF instances In
which, one out OF several children be-
ing attacked with measles. no attempt
has been made to isolate the sick child.

When the wife OF the Emperor Shah
Jehan was on her death bed. her hus-
band. known throughout India rs one
who had loved his wife with affection
akin to idolatry. promised to rear TO
her memory tomb which for magnif-
cence would out-do anything known In
the history OF the world. No sooner
had tho remains OF his loving partner
been deposited In temporary sar-
cophagus OF white marble than Jehan
set about carrying out his purpose.
He gathered the architects and build
ers of all known countries and con-
ferred with them as to what would DO
the most costly and extravagant de-
sign. Tho result OF their deliberations
is the famous Tai Mahal. a mausoleum
which caused whole empire to pay
tribute and employed 90 900 workmen
for seventeen years. Its beauty Is
such as TO discourage an attempt at
description. 1t stands on the banks

about a mile below the fort OF Agra
and is approached through an avenue
