SANITARY CODE OF MOSES.

Extract From a Lecture by DIR. j. III. Kea-
Iosg, of the Battle Creek sanitarium.
We sometimes hear about the mis-
takes of Noses" but no one has ever
shown that Moses made any mistakes
in his sanitary code. 1t has baen ac-
cepted as correct from his time to ours.
and no very important improvements
have been made on it It is now better
understood than it was half century
ago, even. The wisdom of the princi-
pies laid down is simply marvellous; no
law-giver ever formulated code OF
health 80 far-seeing and so correct 1t
was the first employment OF the quar-
antine. The reason therefor was doubt
less not understood then, nor was it
hundred years ago, or even twenty
years ago We now know that leprosy
is germ disease. Youwill remember
the good Catholic Father Damien, who
labored in leprous colony on one OF
the islands Of the Pacific He took
great pains to protect himself from In
fection, and mingled with the lepers for
many years without contracting the
disease; but by and by, happening to
have little erosion on bald spot on
his scalp, fly which had just visited
leper perched on this spot and infected
1t with the dread disease. The fly is
dangerous scavenger, and should be
kept out of our houses.
In the time of Moses, If house was
infected, it was treated in the most
radical manner. When an outbreak of
leprosy appeared on the wall, the peo-
pie had to move out, the plaster
ing was torn off. the house was
shut up and the rubbish all taken
way. And what was done with the rub
bish?a 1t was not put into neighbours
back yard nor emptied into the street,
nor hauled off and dumped on a vacant
lot 1t was taken clear ont of the city
SO that it would not affect any other
house. They did not whitewash the in
fected spot over and then move back;
nor did they newlytpaper the walls as
people treat such houses nowadays.
| The house was cleansed and shut up,
and, If after a week, the leprosy mold
was found breaking out again, showing
evidence that the leprosy was deep in
walls, then the whole house was destroy
ed and the bricks were all carried off. By
this means houses were kept free from
mold and germs A house in the con.
dition that germs will readily develop
in it Is not fit to live in Moses did not
understand all about the nature of
germs, but he understood cleanliness
and quarantine and these are the best
| possible means of disinfection.--Re-
ported by Helen L. Manning.

are commonly called. are much used

of the salt-shakers which were SO pop

lars come in glass, dainty china and

How It Looked to the Boy.


Heber Newton tells me that a very
devout clergyman of the old school was
trying to impress upon the mind of his
son the fact that God takes care of all
his creatures. That the falling spar
row attracts his attention, and that his
loving kindness is over all his works.
Happening one day to see a crane wad-
ing in search of food, the good man
pointed out to his son the perfect adap-
tation of the crane to get his living in
that manner.
"See,'' said he, ''how his legs are
formed for wading! What long slen-
der bill he has? Observe how nicely
he folds his feet when putting them in
or drawing them out of the waterl He
does not cause the slightest ripple. He
is thus enabled to approach the fish
without giving them any notice of his
arrival.
MY son." said he enthusiastically,
lit is impossible to look at that bird
without recognizing the design, as
well as the goodness of God. in thus
providing the means of subsistence"
Yes" replied the boy,.sI think I see
the goodness of God, at least so far as
the crane is concerned, but after all,
