Contagious Diseases.

We received II communication from
the State Board Of Health last week
concerning contagious diseases, and
means suggested TO prevent their dis.
semination, which We publish In part,
as follows
The experience Of this Board proves
that Infectious and contagious diseases
are largely disseminated through the
agency OF the public schools and there
can be no doubt that proper dlsnfection
will exercise n most salutary effect In
checking tho prevalence OF such dis
eases. In order TO prevent the recur-
renee OF smallpox or other contag ious
diseases among the pupils attending the
public schools In your county, the State
Board Of Health earnestly recommends
that, before opening Of schools this year,
thorough dlsinfectlon be performed. In
order TO aid school authorities In car
rylng out this recommendation tho
following suggestions are offered on the
subject Of dsinfection
SULPHUR FUMIoATIoN.
TO use this effectively, two pounds OF
sulphur should be burned In room ten
feot square. Every opening in the
room-lues, doors, windows, cracks and
crovices must be closed, except the
door by which the disinfoctor Is 10
escape closet doors and bureau draw
ers should DO opened wide, and all
wooden articles which have been in the
room during the sickness, hung on
lines, being spread out and opened up
as much as possible. Tho sulphur Is TO
be burned In an iron kettle or other
vessel set In II tub containing little
water TO guard against fire. A small
quantity Of water should be ovaporated
at the same time. A little alcohol or
Kerosene must bo poured upon the sui
phur by means Of which IL may be
lgnltod. Leave the room quickly, for
tho fumes are highly poisonous when
broathed, and close the door tightly.
Let the room remain closed twenty
four hours or more. Then air thorough
ly for at least twenty hours.

sister, kindly. "A revised copy means
that certain changes have been made
in the Bible which were considered
necessary to a better understanding
of the text. Now, you had better

The young man could scarcely con-

"Well. if that's what it is," said
Bobby, "our family Bible is revised,

held. 1t resulted IN Bobhy's passing

was at his side.
"Shake, young man, shake; you're

upon the sable face the ashen hue of
death had fallen.
All of Sunday afternoon and night
watchers sat beside the bier. When
the time appointed for the burial came
a mighty rain set in that lasted all OF
that day and far into the night, max
ing il impossible for the burial to take
place, and another long night of watch
ing came on Monday night. 1t was
then intended to bury the body early
Tuesday morning and preparations
were made for the event.
Just before the hour arrived the
watchers were surprised TO see the
supposed corpse rise up in the coffin,
and the eyes open slowly and looked
wonderingly upon the surroundings.
The woman did not appear in the
least alarmed or astonished, but calm
ly asked for drink of water, which
some one in the assembly less fright
ened than the rest gave to her. Then
she lay quietly back in the coffin and
fell into a natural sleep, her respira-
tiOn and circulation gradually return
ing to their normal condition.
A physician was summoned, and
after carefully examining the patient
after she had been removed from the
coffin, declared that her chances for
final recovery were reasonably good.
She had at most sustained only a skull
fracture.
In the meantime the assailant of the
woman had been placed in Jail on a
charge of deliberate murder, and
against him had already grown a
strong sentiment among the negroes

turn affairs had taken he was almost

But the dscoverer fails tell us how we are to dis

most sensitive? Are there Wagneres and ragtirnetes
among the mosquitoes just there among humans?
The question is important one for if this proves

this is really the only thing that recommends this new
