TO PREVENT CONTAGION.
Precautionary Measures for the Preserva-
ton of Health.

tion of Health.
Great responsibility rests upon nurses
and other attendants upon patient i'll
with any contagious disease, hence the
value of the following practical direc-
tions: Whenever patient is suffering
from scarlet fever, or indeed any other
contagious disease, it Is a matter of
first Importance to see that the disease
does not extend to others. Indeed,
there is reason for believing that the
malignancy of infectious diseases may
be greatly increased by the continued
infection of the patient by himself.
1t Is, hence. of the greatest impor-
lance that thorough antiseptic and
great precautionary measures should
be taken from the very outset of an in
fictitious malady. The first thing to be
done is to secure complete isolation of
the patient shy continued quarantine.
2. Care should be taken to disinfect
or destroy by fire or other means,
everything capable of communicating
the infection to others, such as clothes
soiled by sputa or excreta, etc.
8. There is good reason for believing
that in cases of scarlet fever and diph-
liberia the infectious character of the
disease may be greatly mitigated by
the employment of antiseptics.
In the case of diphtheria the seat of
the disease is in the throat. Peroxide
of hydrogen and other antiseptics may
be employed to keep the throat in as
thoroughly healthful condition as pos
sible, by destroying the microbes as
fast as they are produced.
In cases of scarlet fever the source of
infectious material is the skin, hence
the Importance of sponging the patient
with suitab BILE antisepties from the very
beginning of the disease, not emitting
the application until the end of desqua-
nation, or scaling.
Hydronaphthol dissolved in water in
the proportion of one dram to the gal
Ion, is an excellent remedy for this
purpose Antiseptic baths and alkaline
baths are also useful for dissolving the
dead cuticle and securing it's early sep
aration, before it becomes dried and
capable of being thrown into the air in
the form of fine dust.-Good Health

TO SECURE AMULETS.
Reason Why PrimevaI Men Cut Holes In
the Skulls of Their Dead.

~
the Skulls of Their Dead.
We are disposed rather to accept DR..
Broca's first suggestion than the last,
and to regard trepanning among the
prehistoric men as having had thera-
peutic motive, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
The perforation of the tomb was al
most certainly intended as a door of
exit for spirits. Even in later times.
when the dead were burned, holes were
often bored or knocked in the urns that
contained the ashes, for the same pur-
pose. Some cinerary urns have been
found with little windows, as it were,
made in them, and a piece of glass
placed over the hole. Macrobius, in
his Saturnalia, quotes an Etruscan be-
lief that door should be opened for
the spirits to pass IN and out
The writer remembers case of dy-
ing woman some few years ago In Sus-
sex. She was gasping, and apparently
was undergoing the last struggle in

An Opal Engagement Ring That Always
Came Back.
The smile on the face of the girl as
she stood in the circle of light faded
into look of anguish, and shudder
agitated the delicate lace on her bosom
when her eyes rested upon the extend
ed hand of the man and saw thereon,
glittering like the eye of an evil spirit,
an opal. The fsteful jewel was set in
the ring that was to plight their troth.
She drew away from him in horror.
All her radiant expectancy was gone
There was nothing left upon her mar
bic countenance except few drifts Of
powder and a look of fright
Thus they stood. A magnificent mas
tiff rose from his place by the open
gate, yawned, walked to his mistress
side and gazed obviously at her. He
had cost four hundred dollars, and was
not accustomed to being ignored. Pres
entity a moan escaped her.
"Whyn-it was hoarse, half stifed
whisper. scarcely audible across the
room-"do You bring that here?" A
gesture of impotence was his only re-
ply.
DO you not realize"-passionately
she clasped her hands-''that the &C
cursed opal brings unhappiness to all
who touch it.? Is it in mockery that you
offer it to me as a symbol of the bond
of love that unites our souls?" There
was a cloud upon his brow, but almost
as soon as it appeared it melted and
was gone

JUPITER'S RED SPOT.
It Can Be Easily Seen Through . Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.

II Can Be Easily Seen Through . Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
All owners of telescopes, and their
number has become very large within
the past few years, viii be glad to hear
that the strange red spot on Jupiter,
which was so much obscured last sum-
mer as, at times, to be invisible even
with the huge Lick telescope, is slowly
Frightening again. The appearance.
says the Youths Companion, is as if a
veil of clouds which had been drawn
over it was being gradually removed.
This is by no means the only time
that this singular spot @on the giant
planet has behaved in a similar way
since it first made its appearance in
1878. Just what the spot is, and what
the changes in its aspect mean. astrono-
mers do not yet know. But that it is
tremendous phenomenon upon the sur
face of the great world of Jupiter is ev-
ident when few figures concerning its
dimensions are recalled.
The spot is not less than thirty thou
sand miles long and at least seven thou
sand miles wide. In other words, 1t COW
ers an area more than equal to the
whole surface of the earth
The fiery hue which it sometimes
presents for months together seems
very suggestive in view of the proba-
bility that Jupiter is planet yet in an
intensely heated condition. whose con-
tinents and oceans, If it is ever to pos
sess any, have not yet been formed
When at its brightest the red spot can
be well seen with telescope of only
three or four inches aperture, so that it
then forms suitable object for obser-
vatlon by amateurs.
This year Jupiter is particularly In
teresting on account Of the distinctness
of its great system of belts, lying par
allel with its equator Small tele-
scopes show the principal belts easily,
and it is very interesting to watch the
changes that take place in them from
time to time, particularly when it is re-
membered that what one is looking at Is
probably vast masses of swirling clouds
in the heated atmosphere of world
that may be said to be in the process Of
creation.

GIRLS DO NOR KNOW.
They Sometimes Reject the Nest Brilliant
and Rest of suftorS.


Rejected lovers may find consolation
from the knowledge that some of the
cleverest and handsomest men have
been refused, and that they have never
theless managed to live on and win
fame and fortune Shakespeare is
generally credited with considerable
knowledge of humanity and its ways,
and he describes Romeo. the prince OF
lovers, as being rejected by the fair
Rosalind just before Juliet fell in love
with him.
A certain John Scott once proposed
to a Miss Allgood. While smarting
from her disdain, he happened to enter
a village church during divine service.
and there for the first time, he saw the
pretty Miss Surtees He wooed her,
and, as her father would have nothing
to say TO him, he induced her to elope,
and this though three wealthy suitors
were already at her feet John Scott
lived to be earl of Eldon and lord high
chancellor, and never regretted the day
Miss Allgood rejected him
Byron was refused several times He
proposed to Miss Millbanke, a great
heiress, and was rejected, though the
lady expressed wish 10 correspond
with him He then proposed TO another
lady. and his suit was rejected, too.
Nothing haunted. he renewed his pro-
posal TO Miss Millbanke, and this time
received very aattering acceptance.
They lived together, however, very I'M
happily.
One of the most persistent suitors
who ever proposed and was rejected
was the eccentric Cruden, compiler Of
the concordance to the Bible. Miss D.
ney, who had inherited large fortune,
was the subject of his attentions. For
months and months he pestered her
with calls and letters When she left
home he had papers printed, which he
distributed in various places of worship,
asking the congregation to pray for her
safe return, and when she returned
home he issued others asking the wor-
shippers to return thanks Miss A bney
