The enormous mortality from scarlet fe-
yer which appears in the Registrar Gen.
erals mortality bills is now a constant and
increasing quantity. 1t is assuming pro-
portions which are alarming; not the less
so, because they are largely increased by
individual carelessness 1t has ALWAYS
been source of great mortality and, in
the absence OF any means of checking its
progress, such as we possess in vaccina-
ton for smallpox and by attention to the
water supply and drainage for cholera and
some forms of pythogenic fever, it be-
comes the more necessary accurately TO in
vestigate the means by which it is spread.
These may be summed up chiefly in a few
words. 1t is spread by personal careless
ness, by neglect and by recklessness of in
dlviduals as to public safety. Scarlet fe-
yer Is propagated from person to person
by culpable ignorance and criminal neg
lect. Cleanliness and general sanitary
regulations are OF use in mitigating the
severity of the disease, but are no bar to
It's propagation. Let us take the expe-
rience Of one London physician during the
last week, and it will easily explain how
scarlet fever is now being spread. He
tells US that he has become cognizant Of
the following cases during that time:
Travelling by rail, he was requested not to
put down the window, as little boy in the
carriage was not very WELL The boy was
on his way home from school where scar
let fever had broken out and, on exam
ming him, the eruption was fully evident.
Clergyman brought into his room lad,
not TO consult him about the lad, but in
advertantly. He was about to take him
into the country. This lad had Just recov-
cred from scarlet fever, and was in the
desquamative stage of convalescence,
shedding about those scales which are SO
highly infectious, and are enough to poison
the whole population. His washer-woman
had scarlet fever in her family; she as
certained that it was conveyed by the cloth
ing of a scarlet fever patient sent by the
friends without any caution. These are
all acts OF the most culpable and danger
Gus negligence. Scarlet fever is one Of
the most intensely and continuously con-
tagious diseases. Till the completion of
The subsequent process of peeling of the
skin, the patient, his clothing and dis
charges, and the light scales which are
dlilused in the atmosphere from his peal
ing surface-skin, are pregnant with poison.
Not only should he be carefully isolated;
not only should his clothing and all that
comes in contact with him be carefully
and thoroughly disinfected not only should
his body be annointed, AS DR.. Budd has
recommended, with oil to limit the aerial
diffusion of the epidermal scales; but the
utmost care should be exercised by the
persons attending him not to become car
rier of this virulent and subtle poison. To
send to the laundress garments fatal as
those of Dejanira, to expose in public
carriage or Il crowded waiting-room the
fertile sources of deadly and volatile
poison, are terrible offenses against the
public safety. They are constantly and
carelessly committed; and it is thus that
scaratina is spread. d.-British Medical Jour

THE first and main step toward obtain
ing q competency of ten, twenty, or fifty
thousand dollars, is the securing of one
thousand; the chief difficulty in getting
the one thousand is in obtaining the first
hundred and keeping it. HscSneyed as
this may appear, it is a fact that is ever
new, and one that ever needs to be drum
med into the ears of the struggling mil
lions who work hard and look with strain
ing vision, but in vain, for the coming OF
plentiful days And especially does this
homely philosophy Of wealth need TO be
emphasized at the present time, and i'm
pressed upon the young men II this gencr-
alton, since the prevalent tendency, now
more than ever before, is for beginners
in married or business life 10 adopt such a
scale of personal and family expenditure
as must render thrift impossible. The
youth of our time seem likely to forget
that easy circumstances in middle or ma
ture age are, as rule, only to be purchas-
ed at the cost of rigid self-denial in ear
iier years. The son and daughter are
ambitious to begin life where their parents
left off-in other words they wish to reap
where they have not sown, or before they
have sown, and the result is, lives of make
shift, anxiety and failure. Most of those who
are really industrious, and yet find them
selves at the noon of life with only their
daily efforts between their families and
want, could have been in more comforta-
bic circumstances, had they early learned
the lesson that the key to competency
lies in the practice OF rigid economy a,

at the new brick block of Wallace &
Cunning, on Main street, in this place on
Monday afternoon, there was 8 scene OF
more thrilling and fearful interest than it
is usual in the life of man to witness. In
raising heavy material from the ground to
the top of the building rope and pulley
were used, and to assist in the raising of
the articles heavy weight of tin was at
tached to the end of the rope, which stops
at the top next to the pulley. On the day
mentioned, u little girl Of about eight
years old was innocently pulling and
swinging on the rope, when, by successive
movements Of the weight which was rest
ing on the platform above, it was moved
off its resting. place. Being much the
heavier, the weight began the descent, and
rapidly took the play ful girl from off the
ground, and thence 10 the top Of the
building, forty-fve or more feet high.
The weight struck the ground, and the lit
tie girl daDgled from the other end in ter
rible and alarming danger of a sudden
fall. The people near heard her cries as
she began to ascend, and in painful Won
der ran to the scene, alarmed and almost
paralyzed with fear to see so young, so
tender, so weak being hanging only
by the muscular effort of her slen-
der arms and tender fingers so high in
the air, suspended over stone, lumber
and other debris of q new building.

let. Beneadik also stuffed the gold into
his pockets. and both his hands were full
when loud and terrible noise made him
start up suddenly.


"The Stones" he cried and they were
in fact rushing back again even faster
than they had run away. as if they were
in hurry to return to their places and to
the treasures over which they watched.
AS they advanced they formed themselves
into an immense circle, and Beneadik saw
at glance that they were surrounded.


1--WE are lostI" he cried.


"NOt l." said the beggar, drawing from
his bosom the crossword and the five
leaved clover that 1t had cost him so
much trouble tn find on the seashore.
1.-THE Stones of Plouchinec never harm
any one who carries these plants with
him. must have a baptized Christian
to stay here after l have carried off the
treasure, and / expect this favor from
you," he said, with a diabolical laugh.
The Stones turned aside as he presented
the magic plants to them, and, forming
themselves again into a column behind
the largest one, they advanced directly
upon Beneadik. who had fallen on his
knees in an agony of terror.


The beggar by this time had shut up
his bags, and was preparing to fly.
In less time than 1t has taken to tell, the
terrible battalion had reached the plow-
man of Pluvigner, but at the sight of him
the largest stone stood suddenly still 1t
bore the sign of the Cross, and could do
no harm to Christian. Benesdik was
still on his knees, cOufusedly murmuring
prayers mingled with The name of Marie
mix, when the great stone placed itself in
front of him like rampant, and protected
him with its enormous size; and the rest,
separating, rolled into their places, once
more hiding from human gaze those trea-
srres on which rash eyes had ventured to
look for time.


Scriven meanwhile found the gold he
had collected press so heavily on his
shoulders that he threw away his bags,
hoping some other time to come back and
look for them. His only thought now
was to save his life, for when the large
stone had accomplished its work of pro-
lection it began to roll back, like the 9th
ers. into its place the beegar was in front
of it, and though he held up the magic
plants in his trembling hands, they had
no power over the stone on which the
sign of the cross had been made; it rolled
on, leaving the miserable man behind it,
crushed to death under its weight. His
horror stricken companion, appalled, by
the sight, fell forward insensible on the
ground.


Beneadik appeared the next morning
at the farmhouse, loaded with gold, and
staggering under the bags he had picked
up on the heath; but he had grown ten
years older. and 1t was only sitter many
years of happiness with Mariemik and
his children that he ceased to tremble
when he heard the clock strike twelve at
midnight.

One morning gentleman was going to
church. He was a happy, cheerful
Christian, who had great respect for the
Sabbath. He was singular man, and
would sometimes do and say what the
children are apt to call "funny things"
AS he was going he met a stranger driving
q heavily loaded wagon through the town.
When the gentleman got right opposite to
the wagon he stopped, turned round, and
lifting up both hands, as if in horror, he
exclaimed as he gazed under the wagon


"Thcre, there, you are going it! You
h0oe gone over il"


The driver was frightened. He drew
up his reins in an instant, cried, q" Whoa,
whoap and brought his horse to q stand.
Then he looked under the wheels, expect
ing 10 see the mangled remains of some in
nocent child or at least, some poor dog or
pig that had been ground to jelly. But
he saw nothing. So, gazing all about, he
looked up to the gentleman who had so
strangely arrested his attention, and
anxiously asked.


"Pray, sir, sotat hare Idone ?"

by the timely aid of a comrade.

not sufficiently buoyant, and does
not offer the resistance necessary
