Boiling or Cooking in Any Form De-
stroys Germ Life.
A pure water supply is rightly look
ed upon as one of the greatest essen
tials to the healthfulness of COM
munity. Many foods, salads, for exam
pie, cannot be cooked. or subjected to
the effect of high temperature,
while, on the other hand. washing
them in infected water may render
them the means of conveying disease.
Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
care of the stomach itself. 1t seems
highly probable that the natural juices
of the healthy stomach are able to des-
troy many germs of disease: but the
number which any stomach may be
able to digest must always be uncer-
tain, and it is not desirable to test
it's capacity in this direction. The fact
that only certain persons out of num-
Der who have partaken of food or
drink infected with disease germs may
suffer is explainab!e on the ground of
their different general physical condi-
ton, or OF the varying stages of their
digestive organs. Boiling or cooking
in any form destroys all germ life;
and food or drink about which there is
a question of typhoid infection should
be subjected to one of these processes
before it is taken into the stomach

Writing of schools for Chinese chill
dren a resident of China says: "Usu-
ally the father teaches his sons the
first rules OF arithmetic, reading and
drawing. But when his son is years
old he sends him to school, so that the
teacher can be tormented with him.
The school is in most cases the pri-
vate undertaking of some better stu
ated Chinese or of a small communf
ty; the government has rarely any
thing to do with it. The teacher, a
former disappointed expectant official.
does his best to pour into his scholars
his own scanty knowledge. The value
of such a school education is of course
very small. In spite of this, many
well-established Chinese merchants in
the treaty ports have had no other
school education and have attained at
most only to some pigeon English,
and yet they are in active and sue
cessful dealings with the Europeans,
knowing well how to count and to
hold their own. We have to admire

Capt. c. 6. Rivers Is now absolute
ruler Of che Island OF orchilla. In the
Caribbean sea, says the Baltimore Sun.
He threw out his lines and made fast
there twelve years ago. and will prob
ably make it his harbor the rest Of
his lite-this though he is the only
white man on the island. and though
he has seen the members of his family,
who live at 2103 Cough street, only
twice in fifteen years.
Capt. Rivers is king and cabinet
combined, and not one of hts thirty
West Indian negroes under his sway
dares question his rule. but when he
leaves Orchilla he leaves his royalty
behind.
The captain is not comic-opera
king. He doesn't wear birds of para
disc plumes when he's on the throne,
but down there in that lonely little
spot, with the blue Caribbean about
him and the tropical nights above, he
superintends the gathering of qua
no from the coral reefs, which the sea
is eternally uncovering. Boston CAPT.

services fifteen years ago. The island

BLOCK System on the B. & M.

The Connecticut and Passumpsic
division of the Boston and Maine rail-
road is to have the block signal system
as soon as work can be begun next
spring, instead ofhaving to wait until
the Boston divisions of the road have
been equipped, as was at first intended.
Assistant Superintendent 6. L. R.
French, formerly ofSt. Johnsbury, has
received word that the Boston & Maine
management has decided to install the
SIGNAL system on his division between
Springfield and Windsor, wherever there
are double tracks. The contract for the
signal equipment has been let already
with view to beginning the work early
in the spring, and it is announced that
the contracts cover the equipment of
every mile of double track on the entire
Boston and Maine system. AS the
block signal system which is to be install
led, is only for protection against rear
end collisions, the stretches of single
track will not be effected.
Under the new system only one train
at a time will be on any one block, so
the train crew can always know the
whereabouts of preceding train. The
blocks will be about three-quarters of a
mile in length, and the equipment will be
of the double-bladed, electric motor
semaphore pattern, with lights for night
signaling.
