TO them. She supposed that they were
words OF consra tulation OF coincidence. or
something Of that sort. but her Ideas OF
the proper thing 20 say under the cir

SANITATION N SLEEPING CARS.

A writer IN the New York Herald makes
a plea for sanitary reform In the fittings
and furnishing OF sleeping cars. He con
tends that under existing conditions the
majority Of such cars are more or less
menace 90 the health OF persons who
travel In them. From end 60 end they are
upholstered and fitted with materials
which offer the best imaginable lodging
places for disease germs. The seats are
covered with heavy plush. which absorhs
dust as a sponge does water. while the
berths are screened with curtains Of a
heavy material which cannot be washed
ana thus purified. The Herald's CORE
spondent says: THE heavy wooden COW
crings at present one night cover a con
sumpiive, whose exhibitions infect them;
another night catarrh infected person.
and other nights they cover and inclose
all sorts OF contagious and infectious dis
eases. 80 that the physically sound occu-
pants of these berths often contract dis
eases from their precedents."
The carpets. too. are a source OF dan
ger IL Is a matter almost OF impossible
icy TO prevent expectoratlon upon them.
especially BY consumptlve or catarrhal
persons. The sputum becomes dry and Is
powdered under foot. when "a arises In the
form OF dust &c enter the nostrils and
lungs OF other ana unsuspectiug passen-
gers. The Herald's correspondent says,
and with reason. that all bed furnishings
and all curtains ought to be OF such mate
rial thai they could be thoroughly wash
ed and cleansed az the end OF every trip,
while the upholstering and the floor COW
ering should be OF some hbrous substance
which would lend itself TO daily dislnfec-
tion either through the use OF soap and
water or otherwise.
The vigorous busting OF clothes OF pas
sengers In the aisles OF the sleeping cars Is
another thing that IL objected 10. II
transplres otter that passengers come 6i-
rect from hospitals or sick rooms where
there are cases OF typhoid. diphtheria.
scarlet fever or other dangerous diseases.
Germs from these diseases may be cling
ing to the clothing. and whisked into the
air OF the coach by the nimble brush OF
the porter. This latter complaint Is not
as strong as the ones which precede n.
nevertheless there Is a good basis for Il
20 stand upon. With respect to the blan-
kcts. the curtains. the upholster.ng and
the carpets the objections are sound, and
ought to have the attention al the rail-
road OF sleeping car authorities.
