FEVER GERM CARRIERS.
Typhoid Spread by Persons Years After Suffering From the Disease.

The importance of typhoid car riers"--i. e., persons who harbor the bacillus for more or less prolonged periods after recovery from the dis ease-is matter to which the Lan- cet has on several occasions recent ly drawn attention.
 The recent epidemic in Kelvinside. Glasgow, was traced to woman employed on a farm from which some of the milk supplied to that part of Glasgow was derived. This woman, who suffered from enteric fever 16 years ago, has been proved to be carrier" and to be the cause of the present epidemic.
 At the epidemiologica section of the Royal Society of Medicine on March 27 Dr D. S. Davies and Dr I. Walker Hall gave some interest ing details of two outbreaks traced to the same carrier" These were the first outbreaks of the kind in- vestigated in Great Britain, al- though others have since been re- corded.
 The attention which these "car- rier" cases has received is in the first instance due to Kayser and Klinger, who have published inter- esting observations on this subject in the reports of the imperial Ger man board of health.
 That the bacillus typhosus may persist in the body for prolonged periods has been known for some time, and the occurrence of typhoid bacilli in the gall bladder and in gall-stones is well known. They have been found by Von Dungern in pure culture in the gall bladder IA years and six months after the attack of enteric fever. Dr G. Dean recently published a case in which bacilli were passed % years after the attack.
 It is estimated that about per cent of patients who have, suffered from enteric fever become chronic carriers" and 1t Is generally SUD- posed that the bacilli grow in the bile in the gall bladder and smaller bile ducts, and that they are inter- mi tently discharged into the intes- tine.
 Dr Davies and Dr Hall found out that these "carriers" often present intervals during which they are ''in- effective"-i. e., do not lead to in- fection-and that their periods of effectiveness correspond roughly win the seasonal incidence of en- teric fever.
 There are many important points and require solution in regard to these cases, more especially in re- lation to prophylaxis and treatment. since at present little is known as to any effec i've means of destroying the bacilli within the body.-Lon- don Lancet.

FIsHERsIEN's sUPERsTITIoNs.
Dancing for SaImon-Words to Be
 Avoided When Batting Hook.


 In British Columbia the Indians tremendously went to meet the first salmon and in fiattering voices tried to win their favor by calling them all chiefs.
 Every spring in California the Karsks used to dance for salmon. Meanwhile one of their number se- cluded himself in the mountains and lasted for 10 days. Upon his re- turn he solemnly approached tho river, took the first salmon of the catch, ate some of 1t and with the remainder lighted a sacridcal fire. The same Indians laboriously climb ed to the mountain top after the poles for the spearing booth, being convinced that if they were gathered where the salmon were watching no fish would be caught.
 Very widespread. in fact, is this native belief of the necessity of cau- tion whenever Adam Is on fishing bent.
 In Japan among the primitive race of fhe Ainos even the women left at home are not allowed to talk lest the fish may hear and disapprove. while the first fish is always brought in through a window instead of door so the other fish may not see.
 The Eskimo women of Alaska never sew while the men are flsh- ing. and should any mending be i'm. perative they do it shut up in little tents out of sight of the sea.
 Under no circumstances on the northeast coast of Scotland will fisherman at sea mention certain ob- ice on land. such as minister" "kirk." swine" "dog," etc. and the line will surely be lost if a pig is seen while batting it As on the land chickens must not be counted until they are matched, % al sea fish must not be counted until they are all caught II is good luck 10 find mice nibbling among the nets; a horseshoe nailed 10 the mast will help. and a herring caught and saIted down will produce wonders.
