Just paste this little creed In your

FACTS ABOUT SCARLET FEVER


!. 1t is one of the mosc dangerous
OF ell diseases.
2. 1t is one Of the most contagious
Of all diseases.
3. II is easily carried in the clothes
so that people can catch II from those
who live in the house where 1t is.
4. When the disease spreads 1t is
some body's fault Some body has
been careless, criminally careless.
5. Very light cases are just as
dangerous to other people as bad
cases.
6. The dangers of scarlet fever
are:
a. Heart disease which is very COM
mon.
b. Kidney disease which causes the
patient to bloat up. This is very
dangerous.
&. Ear disease with ear ache and
running from the ears. Scarlet fever
is the most common cause OF deaf
ness.
Z. symptoms OF beginning scarlet
fever.
1. Fever accompanied by chill. vom-
iting sometimes, back ache. head
ache and general weakness.
2. Sore throat comes on early and
may be light or very sore.
3. Rash. the body is covered all
over but especially on the abdomen
and back with fine scarlet rash.
Around the mouth the skin is pale
while the cheeks are red.
s. Contagion, the disease is catch
ing from the time the rash appears
till the skin has all pealed off.
8. II takes from TO days TO
come down with the disease after be-
ing exposed.
10. No one should try to treat scar
let fever without a doctor. While a
light case looks very unimportant no
one can tell when the serious COM
plications will Get In and a doctor
should be In constant charge.
IL. To prevent the spread of the
disease. The patient should be put in
a room by himself and kept there.
The other children should be kept
strictly separate. The person acting
AZ nurse should wear gown over
her dress and a towel over her hair
which she should remove and hang
III outside OF the door on leaving
the room. No one but the family
should be allowed in the house and
no member OF the family should be
allowed outside the yard, except pos
sibly the father II the father leaves
the yard he must wear a suit which
has been kept In the shed OF other
place away from the patient and he
should go nowhere but to his work.
II he is a store keeper and is COM
PEELED to meet people he should stay
away from home till the fever Is
gone and the house fumigated.
After the last patient in a house
has finished pealing. all bedding and
clothing and everything should be
put in the room where the patient
has been and the room fumigated wit
rmalin. Any druggist viii give
instructions Cor using the formalin.
The bedding should then be hung
out In the sun and the room thorough
ly scrubbed. A person who will neg
iect such simple precautions as these
and who is careless about letting the
fever spread is nothing short OF a
murderer. You might just as well
shoot a loaded gun into a crowd and
say you didn't mean to kill anybody.

Imagined. They resembled cnormoas
bats and in following one another
around in a circle raised the outer tip
Of one of the long winglike fins high
out of the water in u graceful curve,
the other being deeply submerged.
They might be seen now gliding down
with a flying motion of the wings,
sweeping, gyrating upward with
twisting vertical motion marvellous in
fits perfect grace; now they flashed
white, again black. so that one would
say they We're rolling over and over

considerable harm to fishermen and
their boats, is largely automatic and

Livinq Liahts Of the Sea.

One of the marine curiosities fished
from the bottom Of the Indian ocean
by dredging vessel chartered by the
Calcutta Society of Natural History
was mammoth sen crab which con-
tinually emitted bright white light,
similar to that seen In the spasmodic
flashes of pllosphorescent luminosity
kindled by the common tircfiies The
oddity WAS captured In daytime and
placed in a large tank, nothing pecul-
lar except its immense size being no.
ticcable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however, when
all was in pitchy darkness, the crab
surprised the naturalists by lighting
up the tank SO that all the other sea
creatures, great and small, occupying
the same tank could be plainly seen.
When the luminous crustacean was
prodded with a pole lie emitted flashes
Of light, which enabled the expert
mentors to read small print, even
though otherwise they were in total
larkness.-London Chronicle.

The Rust Of Custom.

The bitterness toward innovation is
Just the same in an army MS out of it,
but perhaps with more reason. A new
thing cannot possibly be accepted UNI
til 1T has proved itself better than that
which it displaces. The first cannons
were possibly rejected, and the Chris
tian inventor took them to the Turk,
who used them at the siege of Con-
stantinople. The first firearms were
bitterly opposed because they destroy
ed the soldierly bearing of the troops.
The British navy strenuously objected
10 the first large guns because one
charge would cost as much as one of
Nelson's broadsides. Ericsson's Mon
|ltor met with more opposition in
Washington than 1t did in Hampton
Roads. At the outbreak of the civil
war it is said that congress ordered
the adoption of the new weapon, over

Mr.. Carnegie On The Wisdom
of Library Giving

Mr.. Carnegie On The Wisdom
Of Library Giving
Tho Mr.. Carnegie has given
over $5O,OO0,O00 for library
buildings in all parts of the
English-speaking world, he has
not escaped criticism from de-
tractors. Hitherto the exact
extent Of his benefactions has
not been known; nor have his
own particular views of the
matter been given any extend
ed statement. But Golfers
for June 5 presents an article
from his own pen which, tho
not such in form, seems to be
in fact a reply to his critics.
Here are some of the important
statements:
1The letters received from
parents thanking me for libra
ries established and telling me
of the change these have made
upon their children are numer
GUS. 1t is not only what a IL
brary does in a community;
that is only one-half of its
sphere. What it prevents is
equally important. If young
men do not spend their even
ings in the library, where will
they be spending them? If
the young do not acquire a
taste for reading, what will
they otherwise acquire? cit is
often charged against public
llorarles that they supply so
much fiction. There is some
thing to be said upon that side
but the impression received by
the figures is greatly mislead-
ing. The novel is returned on
a average in a few days, but
the solid book, conveying in
struction, is kept five times
longer; so that when we read
of fiction being one-half of the
total books read, if the time
consumed be compared with
that spent upon instructive
works, then the time spent up
on fiction is 10 per cent. one
fifth of that which The reader
would suppose, after reading
that fiction is so per cent of the
whole. But even if fiction be
read far more than any other
one branch, provided the fiction
be good, it is salutaly.
1T means much to young
men and women after their
dreary, uneventful toll during
the whole day they should be
admitted to the world of good
fiction. The masters Of fiction
are benefactors to the race, and
the librarian is becoming fully
alive to the fact that his mis-
sion is not only to hand out the
book asked for. but 70 lead the
