it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er in their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out. Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand it is
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports in the
Hawaiian Islands. If the
sands on the beach, of the
small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these "long
rakish crafts" what a yelping
there would be. There might
be a check put on this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned, above. e. request
of this character would be
honored without question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have a set
back. If, in the opinion of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree, as
though extraordinary means
should be taken to prevent its
importation. What's the matter
with organizing a revenue
marine service and have a cut
ter that could do patrol work?
We are now handling the

You will find a hanging

Advancement of The Science of
Hygiene.

The discovery of microbes and of
the work they do has naturally resulted
in the community preparing itself for
the fight with these little enemies. The
work of boards of health is very differ
ent to-day from that which similar
bodies performed twenty five years ago.
OF course the fact of the eontagion of
disease was known thousand years
back, and the experience of mankind
was reflected in such institutions as the
quarantine. But the efforts put forth
against contagion rested with quarantine
for long time II disease broke out in
city, as the plague broke out in Lon
don during the reign of Charles the
Second, the physicians were at loss.
The people had but one safeguard-they
ran away, and thus carried the disease
10 other parts of the country. 1t would
be impossible to-day for the plague TO
ravage any city in the civilized world
as it ravaged Londen, simply because,
although we do not definitely know
what the plague WAS it is believed to
have been typhus few + by many-we
are certain it was a disease caused by
and developing microbes, we should
fight it exactly as we fight any conta-
gious disease and we should gain the
same victory. 1t is owing to the dis
covery OF the laws of hygiene, and their
practical application, that we are
enabled To check deeease when it is ap-
pears, to seize it and say it shall not
spread. The record Of the work of
the Board of Health Of the city of
New York during the outbreak of chol-
era in ls92 may be said to be an example
of absolute control of contagious di-
scasc. While there were eleven cases of
cholera, there was not one secondary
case. In other words. there was not
one case in which the contagi9n travell-
ed from the sick to the well. While the
eases produced the microbes of the di-
seasc. these were destroyed As fast as
they appeared and, so far as that out
break was concerned, the eontagion of
cholera was annihilated. This record
has never been excelled, simply because
it never could be. 1t was victory for
the science of hygiene.-From The
Microbe as Special Leveller,' by DIR.
