SmaII.Pox In Wall Paper.

"Many years ago a person was sick OF
smallpox in a farm house in the country
town of Groton, and after the patient
recovered the dwelling was fumigsted
and repapered. Ira Chester and family
now dwell IN the house. The paper was
removed u week or so ago, and presently
Mr.. Chester's daughter was stricken with
smallpox. In the opinion of the ply
stefan the germs Of the disease were
dormant in the walls of the ROOM"
The above clipping from the Cincinnati.
Enquirer makes good the claims of sani-
t%arians, that all disease germs ind a hid
ing place in wall paper, with its vegetable
paste to hold it on the wall, and its
animal glue to hold its c%olors; that
these, to say the least, are not the
best materials with which to cover
80 much space around us as the walls in
which We live and sleep, and that paper
and glue are great absorbents OF mois-
ture, of which every person throws off
a certain number of ounces in exhala-
tions every day, and thai such decaying
material as glue and paste gives off de-
leterious gases in such small quantities
that we do not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where a
number of layers of paper have been
pasted upon each other.
Sinitarians claim that these conditions
have mole to do with our i'll health than
we are aware of; that such a state of
things in the room in which we live af-
fects us more Tor better or worse than
does a change of climate; that it would
be cheaper, at least, to try II change of
room or one coated with some ncn-de-
caying material, before going to the ex-
pense and trouble of a change of climate.

rha Loom "a q Swimmer.

It has been said that n o. the
strong strokes Of nature was when
she made the '1oon"-a bird which
represents the wilderness and solitar-
mess OF the widest and most solitary
spots. 1t dives with such marvellous
Quickness that the shot OF a gunner
gets there just in time ITO u across
a circle OF descending tail feathers
and u couple of little jets Of water
flung upward by the web feet OF the
LOOM"
Speaking Of this bird, Burroughl
says that In the water Its wings arc
more than wings, 1t pluDgea into
the denser air and flies with incredi-
BILE speed. Its head and beak form a
sharp point to its tapering neck. Its
wings are far in front and its legs
equally far in the rear, and its course
through the crystal depths is like the
speed of an arrow. In the northern
lakes it has been taken forty feet
under water upon hooks baited for
the large lake trout.
! had never seen one till last fall
when one appeared on the river in
front of my house. / knew instantly
1t was the loon. Presently a boat
shot out from shore, and went ripp-
ling up the surface toward the loon.
The creature at once seemed to divine
the intentions Of the boatman, and
sided of obliquely, keeping a sharp
lookout as IL to make sure 1t was pur-
sued. A steamer came down and
passed between mem, and when the
way was again clear the loon was still
swimming on the surface. Presently
it disappeared under the water, and
the boatman pulled sharp and hard.
In a few minutes the bird r~eappeared
some rods further on, as II to make
an observation. Seeing it was being
pursued and no mistake, 1t dived
quickly, and, when 1t came up again,
had gone many times as far as the
boat in the same length Of time.
Then it Owed again and distanced its
pursuer so easily that he gave over
the chase and rested upon his oars.
But the bird made a final plunge,
and when 1t again emerged upon
the surface 1t was over a mile away.

Interesting and valuable testimony
on the relations Of poverty and in
temperance was published in The
Voice of March 30, in the shape of
replies from officers of New York
charitable organizations, to whom q
series Of questions on this subject
had been submitted. The weight of
testimony was overwhelmingly to
the effect that the inebriate begins
his downward career in condition Of
comparative comfort, Many more
were said to take to poverty because
of drink than take to drink because
of poverty. Among those who replied
was Mr. Charles d. Kellogg, general
secretary Of the Charity Organization
Society OF New York. He said 1.
"Our experience leads us to believe
that very small proportion of in
ebriates take to drink, in the first
instance, because of poverty. q In
my opinion the most frequent causes
of the formation of the drink habit
are Jay the free lunch system of the
saloons; (b) the absence of any other
cheerful resort than the saloon for
workingmen where they can indulge
their social instincts; and (c) the apa-
thy of temperance workers in regard
to the pressing necessity for the
establishment of such resorts as Q
counter attraction to the saloons. 3.
From study of the cases that come
under the care Of this society,
would say that the social. conditions
of a majority of those who are now
inebriates, was at the time they begar
to drink, one of comparative comfort
4. think that inebriety should be
treated as vice until the person
crosses the line that divides the
occasional drinker from the confirmed
drunkard; and that after that time
it should be treated rs a disease.
