A Wonderful Story.

There is girl in Torrington, twenty two years old, who is said to have been kept so secluded from the world that she has never been out of doors and has been kept. as far as possible, in igno- rance of her fellow creatures. The Wo- mans Relief Corps and the Kings Daughters have taken hold of the case and are showing the girl something of the world. She has been taken to a Sunday school picnic for instance. The explanation offered by those who have had charge of the girl is that she had no clothes, and besides she was too homely to be seen on the street, She is, howev- CT, not at all homely, and the real reason is that the girls elder sister was be- trayed, and. when this girl was born, this course was decided upon in order to preserve her innocence.

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA EASIER
 THAN CURE.

HOW CAUGHT. Healthy persons "catch" cholera by taking into their systems through the mouth, as In their food or drink, or from their hands, knives, forks, plates, tumblers, clothing, &c., the germs of the disease which are always present in the discharges from the stomach and bowels of those sick with cholera.
 Thorough cooking destroys the chol- era germs; theAefore. Don't eat raw, uncooked articles of any kind, not even milk. Don't eat or drink to excess. Use plain, wholesome, digestible food, as in- | digestible and diarrhea favor an attsck of cholera.
 Don't drink unboiled water. | Don't eat or drink articles unless they have been thoroughly and recently cook ed or boiled and the more recent and hotter they are the safer. | Don't employ utensils in eating or drinking unless they have been recently put in boiling water; the more recent the safer.
 Don't eat or handle food or drink with unwashed hands, or receive it from the unwsshed hands of others.
 Don't use the hands for any purpose when soiled with cholera discharges; thoroughly cleanse them at once. | Personal cleanliness, and cleanliness of the living and sleeping rooms and their contents, and thorough ventila- tion should be rigidly enforced. Foul water closets, sinks, Croton faucets, cellars, &c., should be avoided, and when present should be referred to the Health Board at once and be remedied PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES OF TREATMENT.
 The successful treatment and the pre- vention of the spread of this disease de- mand that it's earliest manifestations be promptly recognized and treated; there fore.
 Don't doctor yourself for bowel com plaint, but go to bed and send for the nearest physician at once. Send for your family physician; send to dispen- sary or hospital; send to the Health De- partment; send to the nearest police station for medical aid. Don't wait, but send at once. If talk. en i'll in the street seek the nearest drug store, dispensary, hospital or police sta. tion and demand prompt medical atten. tention.
 Don't permit vomit or diarrhoeal dis charges to come in contact with food drink or clothing. These discharges should be received in proper vessels and kept covered until removed under com petent directions. Pour boiling water on them, put strong solution of car bolic acid in them (not less than one part of acid to twenty of hot soapsuds ol water.)
 Don't wear, handle or use any srti cles of clothing or furniture that are soiled with cholera discharges. Poul boiling water on them or put them into it, and scrub them with the carbolit acid solution mentioned above, and promptly request the Health Board to remove them.
 Don't be frightened, but do be eau tious and avoid excesses and unnecessary exposures of every kind.
