THE GRIP.

DR.. Cyrus Edison, the chief inspector of
the New York Health department, has
made an interesting study of the grip, trac-
ing it from it's earliest known appearance
to the present and describing its symptoms
and the treatment it requires. 1t is of lit
tie importance when or under what special
conditions the disease originated, but it is
of some interest to known that there is
reason to believe that mankind has suf
fered from it in all ages. AZ long ago as
1910 Great Britain was ravaged by malady
which seems to have been the same as the
present ailment, and in 1867 a similar
disease became epidemic, from Asia
as a starting point, spreading to
America and manifesting itself in q
malignant form. The unsanitary condi-
tions of the age permitted and encouraged
its progress and it swept with terrible
results over Europe. The later appear
ances of the grip are familiar. About the
first of November, 1889, it made its ap-
pearance in Russia and within three
weeks after its entrance into st. Peters
burg had afflicted one-half the city's popu-
lation. By the middle of December it
had spread over the whole of northern
Europe, and about the Goth of the
same month by some means it had
reached this side of the ocean. Before
the middle of January two hundred thou
sand people in New York alone had been
attacked, and it was not until the middle
of May that it subsided. During the sum-
mer and fall it was practically unheard of,
but in the following winter it broke out
oncs more, making itself severely felt
during February and March of last year.
1t assumed an aggravated form during
this period, and in May disappeared again,
only to reappear few weeks ago and
threaten to develop as seriously as before.
Dr. Edson's directions for avoiding the
grip are as follows: Wear warm woolen
clothing next to the skin and take plain,
nourishing diet. Eat regularly and avoid
late hours and crowded places as much as
possible. In the open air keep moving
| and avoid voting the feet, and on entering
the house remove all outside wraps imme
| diately. Keep away from persons afflicted
with the disease, and, in brief, avoid ex
posure and excess and adopt regular hab

THE LATEST BOSTON NOTION.

THE LATEST BOSTON NOTION.
Boston is queer place. It is celebrated
for its notions, some of which have been
fine and grand, while others have been
fantastic. Boston has just broken out in
new spot. The officials of the Boston
Public Library have decided that hereafter
comic papers shall be excluded from the
tables of the institution. Puck has been
dropped from the list of periodicals and
Judge will appear there only until the
subscription runs out. The directors give
different reasons for excluding these and
other papers of the kind. One director
says: "We have large lot of periodicals,
and the expense is heavy. In revising the
list, which We do at intervals, we exclude
those papers of least value. We do not
think Puck was of enough value to
make it worth while to spend money for
it. If it came as q new question I should
certainly be opposed to putting such a
paper into the library. OF course our
principle is to have every shade of public
opinion represented there, but the paper
in question is merely comical one." An
other directors sentiments are expressed
in this way: "We look upon the library
as the contamination of the school system,
and as its crowning glory. 1t is an insti
tuition for tho purpose of popular eauca-
ton, and think its administration should
keep we'll in view the objects for which it
was organized. don't see why any of
these papers that cannot help along the
cause of education should be admitted to
the library. It was not intended to ac-
complish any other purpose than the edu
cation of the people"
Accusing Puck of being merely comic
paper, and saying that comic papers do not
help along the cause of education, is good.
They may not in Boston, but Boston is the
only place where they do not. 1t will prob
ably be generally acknowledged that Punch
has had not little to do with the educa-
ton of the English people. To be sure, it
is not open to the accusation of being very
funny, but it is intended to be- And IL
cannot fairly be denied that Puck and
Judge are educational as we'll as funny.
The directors will have to make some
other explanation. Perhaps they don't
think it dignifed to laugh while reading in
