Origin OF Familiar Things By Madison c: Peters

had a little lamb, was a Massachusetts
girl. The lamb was one of twins thrust
out BY its mother Mary took It home
and it became the family pet One day
it STAYED away. and as Mary went to
school the lamb heard her voice and fol-
lowed her to the school house, where
she picked 1t up, covered it with her
shawl until she was called into her class,
when the lamb battered after her; the
children laughed, the teacher reprOYed;
the explanation given, she was allowed
to take the lamb home. A young man
from Boston, a student at Harvard, hap
pened to be at the school that morning
and produced three verses. The young
man died soon after, ignorant Of the I'M
mortality Of the verses The lamb lived
many years and came to its death on
the horns of an angry COW.

MY Boy

Gone IS the loud din and noise,
Put away are all the toys.
All youthful things are out Of sight,
One cant find a ball OF kite.
No cap lies on the parlor chair.
No jacket On the front hal stair.
No one slams the kitchen door.
No one spots the hallway floor.
I strain my ears to catch the sound
OF footsteps down the stairway bound
But all is quiet Overheads
I cannot hear the slightest tread
I miss my boys loud, CHEEKY call.
His whistle, merriment and all.
I miss the boyish face so dear,
The big, gray eyes, serene and clear.
You wonder that I am not sad
And that my heart is very glad2
You think I should regretful be,
And in my loss no goodness see?
To you the secret I viii tell.
Assuring You with me zlls we'll;
Ny boy has grown to manhood tail,
So am happy, after all

of Tuberculosis

A THOUGH tuberculosis is we'll
~ recognized as an infectious
disease, it has never been
thought possible to transmit it by mere
contact. That this may happen in GER
tain cases. however, seems TO be proved
by the experiments of Piery, a French
man, VINO has found tubercle bacilH in
the perspiratiOn of tuberculOus patients
This Investigation, we are told by
writer in Cosmos (Paris, June 2O), as
sured himself, before collecting the
perspiration that it could have been
infected in no way from an outside
source He inOculated guineapiSS with
it and succeeded in many cases in in
fecting them with the disease. We
read;
He examined in this way nine cases
of pulmonary tuberculosis, OF which
five yielded virulent perspiratiOn-
He even studied 10 cases Ell surgical Iu-
berculOsis and found Koch's bacillus
four times in the perspiratiOn.
THE sweat Of the tuberculOus is thus
poisonous in proportion varying be
tween 80 and 81 percent, according to
the type of disease.
Mr.. Piery thinks that the elimina-
ton of the tubercle bacilli through the
sweat is connected with the frequent
septicemic nature of the tuberculous
infection; it is in any case one argu-
ment the more in favor Of this theory.
Sweat is thus an agent of cOnta-
giOn, dangerous in itself either directly
(contagion by contact and penetration
through the skin of the infected per-
SOM, or Indirectly infection of linen.
clothes, garments, etc.). Special pro-
phylactic measures are thus necessary
with every tUberculOus patient, even
in the case of internal surgical LESSONS,
benign or latent. Among these meas
ures, the most important is the re-
peated disinfection of all objects that
may be infected by the perspiration.
and the isolation of the patient in
bed that he must always occupy alone"
