The poem opens:
It's forty in the shade to-day; the spouting caves

The powders rose above the drift. the southern

Every man who has carried home seedsman's 5
catalogue will understand this verse:

What though his ampelopsIs cambered not as ad-

standard true

Diphtheria is said to have been disseminated
in an odd way among a lot of school children
over in New-Jersey. They were accustomed to
use lead pencils which were supplied by the
authorities-so runs the tale-anG at the close OF
the day to return these to a general receptacle
instead of keeping them in their desks. A
natural consequence of such system would be
that each youngster would get a pencil that had
been used by another the day before. If, there
fore any one of them was infected with diph-
theria and if, like other children. these Jersey
pupils put the pencil points in their mouths
every few minutes, it might not take long TO
make half of them sick. Possibly the facts have
not been accurately reported. If the story is
true though, it ought to serve as a warning to
school boards in other places. The habit of
wetting a pencil is open to number of objec-
tions. chiefly aesthetic, even when only one per-
son uses that article But grave sanitary perlls
attend a wholesale indulgence in the practice
where the pencils exchanged in a miscel-
laneous fashion.
