DR.. Young, the editor of the Sanitary
Inspector, has the following to say in
regard to typhoid fever cases:
1.-The State Board of Health does not
advise local boards to close up houses
on account of the presence Of typhoid
fever, nor to placard them. If it were
deemed necessary to placard typhoid
fever houses this board would furnish
the placards. While persons do some
times take typhoid fever by attending
cases of that disease, there is but little
danger-very little indeed-in going to
| n house in which there is a case of that
disease, or in entering the sick room,
provided cleanliness and care are OBJ
served in taking care of the patient.
From the typhoid fever circular, |
think you can understand what this
board recommends for local boards Of
health to do. Bear in mind that the
infection of the disease is given off from
the patient in the discharges from the
bowels. and as is now definitely known
in the discharges from the kidneys. A
person to contract the disease, that is,
to become infected by it, must eat or
drink the infection. 1t is not taken by
inhaIing it into the lungs, although if
one remains in Il room where the ofleu
discharges from the bowels have been
busted into the air, as might occur
when the bed of the patient is solled
and afterwards dries, it might be pos
sible to take the disease by swallowing
the germs which have lodged in the
mouth in the process of breathing. 1t
usually comes, however, by drinking
water which has been infected by the
discharges. or by taking food which mas
in some way been infected. In one
household under my observation the
disease was apparently carried upon
| the fingers of the mother from her first
son who was stick to the food OF other
| members of the family. She was noto-
| riously uncleanly.
From what | have written you VIII
got some hints IN regard to the KIND OF
| information that the household should
| receive in which there is a case OF "
phoid fever. Simply caution them
| AGAINST the dangers, and put copy OF
| circular &c into the hands of each fam
ilv in which there may be a case OF ty-
nEa;d fever. 1t is best to discourage
oil unnecessary visits to typhoid fever
patients. but q real quarantine Is
deemed undesirable.

STATE HOUSE,
Sound Advice from the State
Board of Health.
GUNNER Schools for Teachers Will

oeaeh OF D. w. Heseltine Makes a Va
cancy in Pharmacy Board.

me last number of the Sanitary IN
spector, the official bulletin of the State
Eoard of Health, which has inst como
from the press, contains MANY impor-
laht suggestions in relation to health
matters. The following abstracts are
OF special interest at this time:
ne protective power of vaccination
Is limited only by the carelessness, ig-
horahce and prejudice which prevents
universal vaccination
Those physicians who have had the
largest experience with smallpox are
the ones who appreciate the most high
iy the exceeding value of vaccination
as protection for the individual, and
rs trustworthy safeguard of the pub
Tic against smallpox in any form
The last report of the State Board
OF Health of Maine, contained some
thing about the special danger to little
children in the rooms of tuberculous
parents, particularly the danger TO
creeping infants. Last year Dieudonne
published the results of his investiga-
tons in this direction and he confirms
the statements of others that there is
great danger of the infection of infants
under these conditions"
THE danger of smallpox infection is
so surely guarded against by vaccina-
ton that when a person takes small
poX. should he not consider himself a
public nuisance and under the shadow
Of humiliation? For needlessly hav-
ing so filthy a disease and bringing to
the community danger, arrangement of
business. and expense, should it not be
considered an indication Of a more seri-
Gus degree of social and moral degen-
eracy to have smallpox than to harbor
scabies?"
"A suit of clothes may be disinfected
by putting it into d common wash
boiler. in one end of which a soft towel
has been placed. Pour upon the towel
= quantity of formaldehyde solution,
allowing at least one ounce for each
cubic foot Of space. and put the cover
on Immediately, and keep it closed five
of six hours at least. Before taking
out the suit, little ammonia water
poured upon the towel will help to neu-
tralize the fOrmaldehyde and remove
the pungent odor from the clothing

Herbert Spencer's Belief.

Herbert Spencers attitude toward
war in general is strikingly displayed
in a fragm, It of autobiography pub
lished in his latest book. During the
Afghan war news had come that some
British troops were in danger. "At
the Athenaeum club" writes Mr.
Spencer, "a wellknoWn military man
drew my attention to a telegram con-
tanning this news and read it to ME
in a manner implying the belief that
should share his anxiety astounded
him by replying: When men hire
themselves out to shoot other men to
order, asking nothing about the justice
of their cause, don't care if they are
shot themselves

Chinese Enaperor's Coronation.

No crown is used at the coronation
Of Chinese emperor. A book is
thc most important thing about the
ceremony The emperor is seated
upon the dragon throne with nine
steps and the book is brought and
placed on a table in front OF him.
Ii contains the privileges and rights
af the head of the Chinese empire,
and after the emperor has given it into
the hands Of the professors OF the
Royal college, it is read aloud by the
president Of the tribunal Of rites The
ceremony is completed by those pres
ent performing the koW-toW This
consists OF knocking the head nine
times against the fOor, nine being the
sacred Chinese number.

Cancer Is CONTAGIOUS.

Long and careful inquiries by Ger.
man doctors indicate that cancer is
not probably hereditary. but that it
is perniciously contagious. In GER
tain districts the number of sufferers
in proportion to the population Is
much larger every year than in other
areas. Dogs and cats in many in
stances became cancerOus, but few
horses and cattle are attacked. Men
and women are stricken on the aver
age earlier in life in this generation
than in those which preceded it.

Kansas were in flutter over the pro-
posed visit of Mrs. Burdette, wife OF
tha humorist Bob" Burdette. In
commenting on the forthcoming event
the editor of an Atchison paper sneer-
fngly inquired: who is this Mrs. Bob
Burdette?' In a day or two the editor
received an envelope containing a
newspaper clipping giving him an an
swer to his ungracious query. Day
after day came similar message,
each containing a picture of Mrs. Bur-
dette's home some account of her
club work or other polished matter
about the lady All were sent by her
husband, and now the editor prints
an article headed 1--WE Eat Mud in
which he says: "lf Mr.. Burdette will

Germany Was F.,i.. Reimbursed for

Germany Was F",Ig Reimbursed for
tie Cost Of the War Ct 1871.
Ca 10 March 81 last Great Britain
had spent $1.145,50o 900 in conducting
the war in south Africa. This sum
IS largely in excess of the cost to
Germany of the FranCo-Prussian war
of 1871, for which however, the ma
ton was fully reimbursed by the van
ouished nation France paid as war
indemnity about $50 900, 900 less than
the British expenditure in the Boer
conflict. Strictly speaking that in
demnity amounted to only 5,0O0, 100000
francs, or 81 900, 100000, but Germany
received about $115,ooo, 900 from her
yanauished foes in the form OF
special contribution from the city OF
Paris, special taxes in France and in
terest on the chief indemnity. Out OF
this all the expenses of the war were
renaiI. Some $14O, 100000 went to es-
tablsh a pension fund for old soldiers,
$50 ,60OOQG was spent on army reor-
ganiZation. about 100000 900 on fort
resses. $42,5cD, ,O00 on strategic rail
ways, while 10000 900 were stored in
gold as an imperial war chest in case
Of emergencies. and tais immense
vaults Of the julius tower in the fort
ress of Spandau. But the interesting
thinS is that the Boer war has cost
Great Britain far more than their final
war of unificatiOn cost the Germans.

FIVE FEET CT BOOK SHELVES
Harvards President Thinks That

Harvard PreSGent hlnES mat
Enough fer intellectual Training
According to President Charles w.
Eliot of Harvard university there is
no good reason why the normal hui
man being should not have an intel
lectual training that would meet the
requirements not only of our advanced
civilization, but be up to tle highest
standard as fixed by the learned presl-
dent himself, for recently he SAID: "A
library that will go on shelf five
feet long is enough to give an intel
lectual training to any human being
that ever came into the world.
Just think of it. You can hold the
five feet of volumes between your eX-
tended palms, and all you have to 90
is to transmit their contents into mem
ory cells that can, at the Will, be put
into action for the production OF un-
derstanding.
Only five feet, | have taken the
trouble to put the rule on this and ap-
ply a nttle mathematics. AS books III
the library average, five feet means
thirty-seycn volumes, which is not an
array calculated to frighten reader.
Again, an average shows that these
thirty-SaVen books contain oo,oOu
pages made up of 15,0OO,o00 words.
Not so very much material from
which to imbibc intellectual training.

riblo Misunderstanding that threatens the
friendship OF a, Connecticut Avenue belle
and a popular bachelor of military stand
ing? The latter's devotion TO the former
has been matter Of comment for months,
but at present the organ of love is as
unmeIodious as a street piano. and il hap
pened thiswise:
The young lady. being nothing If not
original, borrowed from a near relative
OF Richmond Kiss-me Hobson an old naval
cap that once adorned the head Of that
famous osculatory hero.
She suspended it from the drawing roorl
chandelier in place of the Christmas mis-
tletoe. There it hung mid red -berried
holly and evergreen. a suggestive spirit
to see. on Christmas Day came men to
call. and among them the military first
fayorite. lie was the only one greeted by
the young hostess directly beneath the
chandelier, and, what IS more and also
worse. he was the one man who failed to
interpret the parable of the Hobson cap.
The girl declares he is hopelessIy slow
and stupid and VOWS she Will have no
more of his violets and candies. This
seems serious and advise the young man,
If he wishes to be restored 20 favor, 10 go
in search OF an amulet that bears the
