THE TYPHus FEVER OUTBREAK.

Y THE TYPHUs FEVER OUTBREAK.
The discovery of more than half hun
dred cases Of typhus fever in one of the
most densely crowded tenement districts
Of the city is matter Of somewhat start
ling import.
Not that IL seems that the health and
WE'LL being of the city in general is threat
ened; the present condition of the
weather and the prompt and systematic
work Of the Health Department practi-
cally insure against wide spreading of
the disease. The startling feature is the
fact that it was possible to land in the
midst of the affected district the throng
Of wretched people among whom the out
break has occurred and With whom the
germs Of the disease must have been
present when they arrived on these shores.
The sufferers are Russian refugees.
They were lodged in temporary asylums
provided by private charity. Their afilic-
ton is the result of famine and depriva-
ton in the land of the Gar. They are
entitled to much human sympathy. But
the circumstances point out the imperative
necessity Of taking extraordinary meas.
ures Of precaution in the matter OF Other
shiploads of like nature, bringing like
possibilities Of dangerous disease.

An Absurd Idea.

To the Editor
think the idea OF wife receiving salary
from her husband perfectly absurd, as It
would make the sacred duties Of wife appear
like n business transaction which she had
entered for mere pay. A husband should be
as liberal with his wife as his means Will al-
low, aud she be happy and satisfied with IL,

whatever she might require.
