Dr. Edwunl Hitchcock, Jr., of Cornell university, read a jxuier on the uses of physical measurement to the individual. In the attempts to establish anthropome¬ try on a scientific basis the weight of in¬ dividuals was first taken as u standard, but this had to be abandoned, and bo thought we could now say with a certain degree of exactness that hitman measures increase with the height. It is extremely difficult, if not indeed practically inipos- siblo, to secure the exact dimensions of any i. attempted man. Especially is this so when it tc obtain the measurements of the chest and shoulders. Six oxj>crts might examine the same individuals, and their measurements would probably all differ. The testing of lung enpapitv is very variable, tome individual ; giving losuhs which are of value, while others do not use the thoracic muscles at all, but simply bring into play the muscles of the pharynx. Some foreign countries, recognizing the difficulties in the way of obtaining exact measurements of parts which were liable to vary, had adopted the length and breadth of the head, car, foot and finger, and the height of a man in the sitting position, as the best, mak¬ ing use of them in descriptions of crimi¬ nals.—Science rtie Greatest Cm-o on Earth for Wllllw , jo Core ire more quick nuiclily Jv rvm-fn nv.re than than any any other ot her kaown fcsorvn rera-&$ l&gf .SSSfMi \tro, PlmriKV, Fro: J Iiu kqche, Sores, MSolatica. wounds, Quinsy, Sore Ilci TooUiai ' f *'• 1 Ik*, toAlo.

Salt! lo lie Infectious but Not C'ontngtoiiSi I’n-sli Air at.,1 Kxerelsc. And now the theory is held that pneu¬ monia, too, is to lie classed as a germ dis» ease. The authority for this opinion it Dr. A. (>. Sieliert, a German-American physician of New York, one of the most competent authorities on the subject in America, and an indefatigable investiga¬ tor on modern scientific methods of tht causes of pneumonia, and especially tlw degree to w Inch the weather furthers tbit disease. ‘■It is my lielief, certainly,” said Dr. Sieliert, “that pneumonia is an infec¬ tious, though not a contagious, disease. People do not take it from each other, but they may take it from the sams place. In my practice, as a very com¬ mon thing, in the same family, two or more would have it. In a Bavarian prison, out of ,500 inmates, sixty-two died of pneumonia in one year in one ward. Not another ward was touched. Dr. Enuuereieh was the physician attendant. Ho ordered tiro floor of this Ward to lie torn up. Beneath it there was found a filling of refuse, impregnated with moist¬ ure in the proportion of 27 per cent, tc the whole mass, from the washings which had dripped through the boards. The rubbish was analyzed under powerful microscopes, and in it were discovered miasms, which a few years ago Dr. Friedlander had pointed out as being found constantly in the lungs of people who had died of pneumonia. This is ona indication. The infectious diseases begin with a sudden chill. So does pneumonia. Pneu¬ monia lasts generally from seven to nine days, disappearing with a crisis and a profound sweat, and when the crisis is past, the patient, though weak and ex¬ hausted, is otherwise perfectly well. This is the character of fever and the in¬ fectious diseases. Again, among people exposed even to the severest conditions of winter weather in the open air pneumo¬ nia is a thing almost unknown. The Arctic explorers in the extremes of ice and snow and in pure air had no pneu¬ monia. They had many other diseases, though, incident to cold and hardships. Pneumonia occurs in summer as well as tn winter, proving that cold is not an in¬ dispensable cause. All physicians of much practice have found cases of pneu¬ monia originating in the same house at different times of the year, and it is fre¬ quently the c.ose that those who have it once have it again. The latter fact is well known. An explanation of this, which is at least allowable, is that the locality is the cause of the disease rather than special susceptibility in the people attacked by it. “Pneumonia is a house disease, as is the case, according to my belief, with inflammatory rheumatism and diphtheria, [n the warm air of the house the system is made sensitive to the cold, but the cold is only the producing cause. It prepared the coddled lungs for the pneumonia poi¬ son which had its real origin in damp and iirty rooms or cellars. “What i i the cure? Well, the steps to the cure h.ive unhappily and advanced but little. But t he relief the prevention ire—no medicine and plenty of fresh air. [f you have consumption, a dangerous sold, or the fear of pneumonia, I should say, if you cannot fresh air anywhere ?lse, go to the Arctics for it; but get that, it all events, if you want to live. A con¬ sumptive who followed my advice lived two years longer than any expectations had been held that he could live. What was the advice? No medicine and a voy- ige in September down the Atlantic ;oa.st. with directions to keep on deck as long as was up, rain or shine, and to sleep with the port hole open, except when it rained, ilis friends prophesied that lie, being seemingly in the last stages of con¬ sumption, would come hack in tlireo weeks a corpse. In three months he same back with an added weight of fif¬ teen pounds, lie lived two years longer, pursuing i the fresh air regimen. On his leathbe ho told me that the ojien air Pad given him those two years. His was i genuine case of tuberculosis, too.” “What, then, is the connection lietween :ho weather and t ho cause of pneumonia, if. as you believe, pneumonia is a germ disease?” “No po.^oii can enter the blood except through a raw surface; and it is only where the respiratory tract lias been irri¬ tated that the poison germ c. .i enter the lungs. ’ ’ “What weather, then, prepares the iiings for the reception of the poison seed?" “Whenever .you find three things- humidity, cold and a wind of over Fifteen miles an hour—look out for pneumonia. February is pneumonia’s carnival month, and by a- aal statistics, I have compared the weather constituents for each day for a space of three years, with GOO cases of pneumonia occurring during that time. In this comparison the facts are that regu¬ larly on the days of humidity, cold and high wind the pneumonia statistics reach their top mark. This is not theory; there is the record. The worst pneumonia ac¬ count is not necessarily on the coldest days, for with extreme cold there is very probably no extreme humidity. It is the two together that ravage.

SON. hfil ■:L EFFECTS OF EARLY RISING. »,.*“• — Let us begin by snying that every jier- j son needs a certain average amount of simp in twenty-four hours, and that, ex- eept best in extremely rare cases, the jiereon ! preserves health by taking that av- enigo amount every day. beginning at the same hour, and of course ending at : the same hour, day after day. ; In the next place, remembering that if we observe ttio rule of taking a uni¬ form amount, of sleep each night, the question of what hour we shall rise is de¬ termined by the hour of retiring, we may say that, with yiost people, the morning hours are the best and freshest of the day. truth, This for, in does considering not cover this question, the whole it [ must be borne in mind that we are really deciding beginning, between an hour, or less time, at the and the same time at the end of tho day. Again, the amount of sleep needed is not ti.o uuuo for all persons. Conse¬ quently, if all are to rise at the same hour, they must retire at different hours. One of the most amusing conceits of the Rev. Dr. Edward E. Hale represents a fanner anil his wife, with a frenzy for early rising, to have argued, from tho success of 0 o’clock as a uniform break¬ fast hour through tho year, that they could gain an hour a day by breakfasting at 5. Tho experiment worked so well that they presently pushed the breakfast hour back to 4 o'clock, ar.d so gained two hours a day. Again they moved tho hour back to 3 o’clock—and so they went on, until they had gone backward through tho hours three times, with the result of gaining three whole days every day they live. Obviously one may rise too early, and may in consequence bo less “healthy, wealthy and wise” than by choosing an hour more reasonably early. And, final- j Vi no rulo covers all cases. Beyond a doubt there are persons, young and old, more especially old, who cannot rise at what is to most people not too early an hour, without extreme discomfort, and in some instances at the expense of health. It makes no difference how early they retire. The addition of an hour’s sleep at the beginning does not make them wakeful a moment sooner; or, it happens that they cannot sleep at the beginning of j the night if they try. Such people, if the pitied. affliction is a rpal one, are to bo j Now our readers will seo tho comfort - we offer to late risers. We say to them i that if they cannot rise early they ought | not to do so. Leaving out of the ac- i count those whose work compels them to ! ho up late at night, we estimate that one , person in fifty is unable to rise early | without harm. The rest of those who do not get up to ; breakfast—are lazy.—Youth’s C-ompan- I ion. IRtky of tho Teeth.
