BOOKS MAY CARRY MICROBES.
Precautions Taken to prevent Spread

Precautions Taken to prevent spread
of Disease Through Europe.
Itisa fact that has been nwelldemOnstrated
that contagious diseases may be sprcad by
meansof books whichhave beeniuthe hands
ofthe sick or convalescing says stheNew York
World. All the eeruptivemaladies, ,scanatina
and varioloid among Others, Is we'll as diph-
liberia. may be etransmittedin this manner.
Throughout Europe. and especiallyin Eng
land, strenuous efforts areb being matetostOp
this source of contagion. At Edinburgh al
ready a regular service has been OrganiZedby
which the directors of libraries are notified
each day of the names and addresses of all
those in the city who areiA of feontagious dis
eases. The librarians sthereuponmakecareful
search to find if any OF their bookshaye been
lent in any ofthe ehousesspecified- WhenS nSuch
isfound to he the case the health department
seizes the books, which are then either dis
infected or destroyed, according TO the
nature of the illness. When book, for
example, has been in the hands of one i'll
of varioloId it is Immediately destroyed.
At Bradford, England, similar measures
are also in vogue and an eTIOrt is now
being made to put them in effect at London.
This, however, owing to the vast and dense
population of the City, will be difficult of
accomplishment.
In Paris this plan will also be followed in
the near future. At Atpresent the authorities
of that city are endeavoring to find a satis-
factorydisinfectalt. Experimentsare being
made with the vapor of formic aldehy'le,
which is produced by the incomplete TOM
bustion of methylic alcohol in contact with
the air and incaudescent platinum. This
vapor, in addition santlseptlc properties,
is easily employed, and is absolutely harm
less to cloth and paper, and its discovery
will doubtless hasten the adoption )fsimlar
hygienc measures in the public Libraries
of this country.

Love is sweet, and bitterly sweet,

And love is LASTING and love is fleet
As adamant aud snow.
And love is hard as fate,
And IOvefs soft as sleep;
Love is impatient aud cannot wait,
And love eau endure and weep.
And love is strong aud fral
As the oak and anemone;
As the gale that shreds the stOutest sail,
And the ZephyTs that kisses the sea.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Spain Has Lost $1,000 Men.
The Insurgents in Cuba are Gaining In
strength.

Inc insurgents III yuma are tanning III
strength.
In the past four months the Spanish
forces have lost by disease, drunkenness
and death in battle fully $1,000 men. No
reports are allowed to be circulated con-
corning losses in battle, but the authorities
admit that in this period 10000 have died
from disease or excessive indulgence in
food or drink. Thirty thousand insur-
gents are known to be in the field over
running the country and making their
camps in the mountain fastenesses, whence
they sally to strike blow and return to
camp, depending on their rapid movements
to disconcert the enemy. A prominent
man who has just arrived at New York
from Havana says the insurgents claim
they could capture one of the large cities
but their plans as to the future would not
permit. That is to say large majority
of the inhabitants of Cuba are negroes and
independence would mean negro govern
ment. If independence could be secured
with the establishment of a protectorate
under the United States or some other
strong government, then the question
would be settled. Failing in this, the
general desire is to secure home rule from
the mother country"
