ONE OF THE CiTY'S NEEDS.

Rumor is current that diphtheria has
gained foothold in a portion of the
city@ where it is thickly settled and
several fatal cases have resulted.
While we have no intention of posing
as an alarmist, yet we think it wisdom
to be prepared to meet emergencies
such as any city the size of this is liable
to meet. The city needs an emergency
hospital, be it only Il small or ordinary
sized house, where contagious disease
may be quarantined, and stamped out
in its incipiency. The expense is a
consideration too slight to be questioned
in comparison to the disastrous effects
that would follow any epidemic.
When diphtberia or in fact any con-
tagion breaks out, the patient should be
isolated from all other persons except
the nurse in charge, and if death
occurs the good of the living must be
respected, even though funeral rites be
made as private and secluded as posi-
BILE. The danger to the patient is less
in being removed to suitably pre-
pared building where skilled nurses
can be provided, than in remaining il
the infected house. The prejudice ol
being removed to a place Of greater
safety would in most families be over
come by the probabilities Of fatal re-
suits to other members of the family
by neglect of it. Until such place
could be provided the best plan woul6
be to quarantine each infected house
having a place where the well members
of the family could be removed, anc
preventive measures taken. Having
called the attention to our public
officials whose province it is to act witt
all necessary dispatch in the matter, We
trust there may not be farther spreaC
of the disease.

Excellent Quotations.

If man have love in his heart, he
may talk in broken language, b,t it
will be elOquence to those who listen.
So much in this world depends upon
getting what we want. Prosperity is to
the human heart like a sunny south
wall to a peach Hclme Lee.
The inevitabilities are always apping
every seeming prosperity built on a
wrong. No matter how you seem to
fatten on Il crime, that can never be
good for the bee which is bad for the
swarm.-[A. J. Froude.
This public life is weary, wearing
one, that leaves one but little time for
essary to keep up growth and vigor
Of Christian character. But l hope l

true man, and keep ever before me the
character of the great Nazarene-Jas.

Men are better then the world gives
them credit for If there were some
mental process Of analyzing their
hearts, like the metal of the assayer,
there would be found to be much gold.
The time TO test man is when he is in
solitude. Let him be alone with his
God, and then, if you could analyze his
emotions, though he be a desperate in
outward life, he would surprise you with
