INCUBATION PERIOD OF DIS
EASES.

The interval between exposure to a
disease and its first appearance is called
the period of incubation, and this varies
widely in different diseases, and often,
too, the same disease in different per-
sons according to circumstances. The
clinical society of London, wishing to
establish a period of incubation for
various diseases, instituted a series Of
Investigations with the following re-
suits:
Diphtheria-In this disease the incu-
baton period does not as a rule exceed
four days and is more often two days.
1t may also extend to five, six and
seven days. The infection may take
place at any time in the course Of the
disease. Mild cases may spread it.
Typhoid Fever-This may vary with
in wide limits twelve to fourteen days,
but not infrequently it is less. AS the
disease is usually introduced into the
system by food and drink, it is not a
ried from one person to another, but
several may get it from the same
source. Contaminated water and milk
is the usual cause.
Epidemic Influenza or "Grip"-The
shortest incubation period in this dis
ease is from a few hours to three or
four days. 1t generally strikes sud
denly and without warning, Apatient
may carry infection throughout the
whole course of the disease.
Measles-The incubation period of
measles is usually shore. 1t is counted
from the date of the eruption, which
decides the disease.
Mumps-The incubation period of
mumps is rather long, from one to two
weeks, and the chances of infection
diminish daily.
Rubeola, Rothelin, Or German Measles
This has a long incubation period
like ordinary measles, and it's infectiv-
ity diminishes in a day or two after
the rash disappears.
Variola Or Small pox-Thei incubation
period of this disease is from one to
three days.
Varicella o chicken pox has a period
of incubation slightly longer than
variola. Health Magazine.

fat old duck, becoming too corpu-
lent to stand on her feet, consulted a
quack as to the best means of obtain
ing relief. He promptly advised her
70 cut off her right leg, assuring her
that she could stand on one leg much
easier than upon two. Moreover, said
he, 1t is the proper caper, and by do
ing so you will retain the confidence of
your neighbors, the foxes" But no
sooner was her leg removed, than she
settled down into the mire, and became
an easy prey to the quack and his
friends. So you will observe that what

Of silver is a good illustration.

that the farmer forgets that he is an
owner in all the highways in his town;
that he has had to contribute to
their construction; that he is interested
In their preservation; and that in this
method OF using them he is destroying
his own property. IL he will exercise care
in driving and use tires commensurate
with the load which he carries, he will
find that he Is lessening his taxes more
than he could do in any other way.
The committee do not see that careful
driving can be enforced by law, but if the
friends of good roads will, by the circula-
tion Of literature, impress the Importance
of 1t upon the taxpayers of the various
towns they will do more toward securing
good roads than by anything which has
yet been done.
The fourth cause is the lack of reason
able repair. When the annual approprs-
tion is made, 1t is divided up amongst the
highway districts, and each surveyor
promptly proceeds to lay out the meager
sum which has been intrusted to him,
very generally within a short distance OF
his own door yard, aud then goes home
and awaits for another annual meeting.
Meantime the rains of summer, the frosts
and SHOWS of winter, and the improper
use OF which we have spoken, soon got
the roads into condition no better than
they were before he made his outlay. The
value OF stitch in time saving nine is
nowhere more forcibly illustrated than
upon our highways. A stone as large as
a mans head is imbedded in the road,
practically concealed beneath the surface.
A heavy team forces it up into sight.
Another one following, dislodges IL, and
another one still following drops into the
hole thus made, and this being continued

In the highway is made, This same re-
suit Is produced in spots in the highway
where water collets after rain. These
with travel become mud holes, and then
deep gullies, and with no repairs until
the next annual meeting are some
dangerous spots on the highway.
IL either OF these was fixed at
the time few shovelfuls OF
earth would be all that was necessary TO
make the road as good as new, but IL left
till another season many cartloads Of soil
and much labor are required to remedy
them. II the ruts in the roads now ex-
