Disease can bo divided into .various groups. Of these none, upon the whole, we so formidable os those termed com municable diseases. We use this term in preference to contagious or infectious, because these two words have in uso do parted so far from their original mean ing os to convey no correct idea of their relationship. There is great variety in tho method in which diseases are com municable. Some, like hydrophobia in man and glanders in horses, are con veyed only by direct contact with au abraded surface, which is equivalent to inoculation. Even our common vaccine disease can only be induced in this way. Other diseases which we communicable require some special and abnormal con dition of tho particular tissue to which they will attach. Thus, although tho bacillus of tuberculosis is probably trans missible, it is only to those whose lungs are in a peculiar state of receptivity. Other diseases, such us the commoner eruptions, vary exceedingly as to the de gree of their communicability. It is sometimes quite difficult to deter mine the extent to which tho communi cating particle can be carried. It is prob oble that the air from a smallpox hospital has given the disease to a person a mile distant. On tho contrary, scarlet fever has been brought into tho ward of u full but well aiied hospital and continu'd there a day without a single person con tracting tho disease. IT wo could be suro as to the secretions and ail tho skin separations from scarlet fever it would not boa very communicable disease; yet wo have known a dress folded up at tho bed of a dying patient and placed in a trunk, to convey tho poison to a family of children four miles distant, when the dress was unfolded in their presence three months afterward. Whooping cough and diphtheria are probably never convoyed by the first case occurring, ex cept by the breath or sputa of the patient. Measles, on the other hand, are com municated at much greater dis tances. In general, any one of this claws of diseases having l>e ooino epidemic, tho communication to others is from houses and clothing far more than from persons. Difficult us it is to determine accurately all tho facts as to tho conveyance ot these diseases, their transuiißwibility, their times of inception and tho timo of greatest risk of conta gion, or when tho patient ceases to be a risk to others, no subject is of more vital Importance to communities. Dr. Vacher, the medical officer of Birkenhead, and Dr. Dukes, of Rugby, have given much attention to tho subject ar.d have classified a largo number of cases as to the time from the first symp tom to the beginning of eruption, tho timo from beginning of eruption to cessa tion of fever, and the time from tho be ginning of eruption to when tho patient ceases to be infective. They state the latter us follows: For smallpox, 50 days; measles, 27 days; scarlet fever, 49 days; diphtheria, 28 days; mumps, 21 days; typhoid fever, 28 days. These will serve as general guides. In all coses w here schools are concerned the time of return should be guarded. It is to bo remembered that more depends upon tho cleanliness of the house and family and upon tho garments worn than upon the person. It is often a question how far boards of health shall require re porls of contagious diseases. In any good system of sanitary government such report is required as to smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhus fever, cholera, and as to measles when extensively epi demic. We think strict rules should bo enforced upon physicians as to such re port, but that they should be paid there for, inasmuch ns ouch report is of special service, quite different from tho certifica tion of a death. Tho habits of different countries and states differ much, but all agree that the report should bo niado by somo one. This is rendered more essen tial by recent facts, which show that by early and strict isolation tho common communicable diseases arc often pre vented from becoming epidemic. It is often n question how far attend ance at funerals should be prevented iu cases of death from communicable dis eases. Wo know of a recent case in which the attendance of children at a church funeral, the death having boon caused by malignant diphtheria, proba bly led to a dozen deaths and many cases In a sparse country village. Tho exposure is far greater for children than for adults. If all details as to tho washing of tho dead body, the dealing with clothing, tho timo of transfer to tho coffin, tho uso of disinfectants, could bo carefully regu lated, it is probable that tho risk would bo very littlo; but a wo cannot rely upon tho carrying out of all these details, it is better to prohibit public funerals and to announco catuso of death in all cases of tho more dangerous communicable dis eases. Similar caution Is needed as to tho visits of friends upon those who are thus sick. While there is no need of such fear as will preclude assistance from older persons where there is need of help, there la no excuse for exposing tho young. With duo precaution os to ailing gar ments, it is very rare tliat communicable diseases are carried to others by tho casual visitor. Wo thus desire to caution all against unnecessary exposure, and to secure public opinion as an aid In pre venting the spread of a class of disease which <x)unts so many victims.—Now York Independent. A Portable Electric Lamp. While visiting a friend tho other even ing ho invited mo to tako a look over his house. To my surprise ho picked up un electric lamp that was stanhiug on tho table and started off up stairs with it in his hand, tho flexible insulating wire connecting with the lamp trailing along behind. On investigation I discovered that he had tho wiro wound around a tec l and that it was smoothly paying out as lie went along, lio also had littlo pulleys fastened to the doorways over which he passed tho wiro os ho turned the cottiers. The lamp itself was mounted on a Standard tike the standard of an oil lamp, and tho gentleman informed mo that he was in tho habit of taking it Into uli )>arts of the house.

When tho large oonsumjition of quinine is considered, however, arid tho fact that no well authenticated cases ap pear in tho voluminous literature de scriptive of tlio nature and action of this drug, the absurdity of the claim will lie apparent, and tho following case which i t ivpo. iod by u correspondent of Tho Druggists* Circular will bo regarded rather as on interesting anomaly than as proof Hint the quinine habit practically has any existence in fact: 4 A few yers ago, while clerking in a rmnll town in North Missouri, there was a young drygoods merchant located next door i'- the store in whv’h I was em ployed. This young man would come into tiu- store fu>m four to six times daily, walk back to where tho quinine bottle Was kept (it was purposely placed in a con venient position), and with tho point of a spatula would put probably two or three grains iqx>n his tongue, hand us a nit kel and walk out, without taking any thing to allay it* bitter taste. This was a daily occurrence during tho timo that I remained there (nearly three years). In reply to a query from mo be said that ho took Hie quinine because) ho liked the eflYcts of It. and un'esa he did so his tniud bcearv? confused, and he was sea' oL t > properly at urnd to bis bu in VhM duti'-s “ Tinrugh i:*;wy iff considered articles have appear, and in print since cocaine Juu been k<> widely employed, churning that tho use of tide drug established physi cally and mentally demoralizing habit, the testimony of tho most competent observers and the investigation of so called cases of cocaine habit have clearly shown that a cocaine habit in tho sense that we speak of the opium or alcohol habit dix-s not exist. With the exesep* tion of a few drugs, among which wo may mention opium, alcohol, chloral and hasheesh, no adequate proof exists that tho use of drugs creates a morbid craving for them uncontrollable by the will.- Medical Classics. What Coal Rtuwfen Cot Chicago. The smoko nuisance has become so great here that Chicago is by long odds the dirtiest city in the country, and prominent business men arc urging the prohibition of the use of soft coal within tho city limits. There are tho most rigid prohibitive smoko ordinances here and endless bo called “smoko consumers, ” but neither seem to have tho slightest effect. It is claimed that while tho abolition of soft coal would greatly increase the ex pense* of railways and manufacturers generally, yet, even from a financial standpoint alone, tho city would benefit from it. Tho head of a leading dry goods firm says merchants are absolutely prohibited from carrying many lines of delicate fabrics for which there ia a demand here, as in everv largo city. Goods which can be handled in New York, and for which there should lx> a liberal market in Chi cago, are simply inadmiosilule herof for reason that exposure would mean ruin to them. Tho city is so dirty that tho use of Illinois marble, great quarries of which arc within a few miles of Chicago, hat’ been almost entirely abandoned, and thousands of dollars ore spent every j’ear in the transportation of building material from various parts of tho country^whero tho product is of a color that will not show dirt so readily.—Chicago Cor. Newi York Tribuna Br. Nansen’s Exploring Expedition.* * News has come of the Greenland ex pedition under Dr. Nansen. It appears 1 that he and Ida six companions landed on tho east coast of Greenland on tho 18th ultimo, in latitude 05 doge. 80 min. Tin's is nearly two degrees smith of tho Arctic circle, and will imply a, journey of some COD miles across to tho west coast. Tho two Laplanders who accom panied Nordenskjola in his second unsuc cc’ful attempt to cross Greenland (inn higher latitude and from the west side) managed’to advance eastward some 140 miles aud attained a height of over 5,600 feet, whence tliey got a viow of what ap peured t > bo an endless snow field. Should Dr. Nansen’s j>arty reach this enow field, their chances of success will be great, as they are all famous suowehoe walkers, and have frequently crossed tho Norwegian mountains In tho depth of winter. They could not have landed in Greenland at abetter time; for they escape tho short and thoroughly dis agreeable sub-arctic summer. What lias been described as an endless snow field is no doubt Hie water shod of tho innum erable Greenland glacier streams, tho terminations of which form such a strik ing foaturo of tho Greenland, coast.
