TO PREVENT DIPHTHERIA, VALUABLE POINTS FEOM THE NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH. How the Disease Originates and Spreads—How It Can be Sup pressed— Disinfected Solutions. The New York State Board of Health has issued a valuable circular on the pre vention of diphtheria. The information and suggestions given in the circular are applicable to all localities. It reads as follows: Diphtheria is a preventable disease. Its existence depends on conditions that can generally be controled. It may appear in any community, but it should not be allowed to develop beyond the first case or cases that make their appearance. Diphtheria probably always originates from a special poison which develops in the person sick with it. This special poison is given off in the breath, in the discharges from the mouth, throat and nose, and m some degree in those from the bowels and bladder. The virus has the property of adhering tenaciously to objects on which it happens to alight. By reason of this tho sick room, its floor, walls, furniture and all its contents become infected with the disease and continue to be so until the virus is destroyed by cleansing and fumigation. The disease may also be carried away by any article coming in contact with the sick, and to which the virus clings, by tho cloth ing, bedding, eating utensils, food, toys, and also by the persons and clothing of those in attendance upon the patient. Another im liortant fact is that the virus is very long ived; articles and premises infected with it may communicate the disease for at least several weeks; it may be transported by them with great facility, and to an indefinite dis tance. A final important point is that bad sani tary conditions favor the development and propagation of the diphtheritic virus. It grows best in places that are damp and foul and ill-ventilated, in cellars moist by imper fect drainage and defiled by uncleanly accu mulations in the soil about it; in damp, un ventilated spaces under floors; in cesspools, drains and sewers, or any place where there is dampness, filth and imperfect access of fresh air. In large cities the sewers furnish so favorable a place for the growth of this virus when it gets into them, and its vitality is so great under such surroundings, that their infection may become permanent. No similar conditions, however, need exist in small loealties. Diphtheria is contracted by inhalation of air containing the disease germs coming di rectly from the sick or from articles infected by them. It is also communicated by arti cles passing from mouth to mouth, such as cups, spoons and toys. The articles by which it is communicated may have become infected weeks before, and possibly at some locality quite remote. It is contracted by inhaling the air of sewers, cesspools, cellars, or any damp, foul or ill-ventilated place in which the disease germs chance to have become planted. Children contract diphtheria much more readily than adults. Every locality is liable to have diphtheria brought into it. It will not continue long if the principal conditions on which its exist ence mainly depends are removed; if the sick are strictly secluded, the disease germs de stroyed, and all unsanitary conditions which favor their continued development removed. 1. Isolation. —Those sick with diphtheria should be isolated from everyone except necessary attendants. This should be done with mild cases as well as severe ones. They should be placed in an upper, airy room, as Ve.mote as possible from other living and sleeping rooms. Needless furniture and other articles should be removed from the room. Allow the windows to be open, for the poison does not go far away in the at mosphere; give sunshine and fresh air con stantly. The attendants should remember that they carry with them the poison of the disease, and they must keep entirely away from others, especially from children, who take diphtheria most readily. No article should leave the room without cleansing or disinfec tion. Utensils used by the sick should bo well cleaned before use by others. Food left by them should be destroyed. Bed and body clothing should, before being taken from the room, be placed in disinfectant No. 2, boiling hot, if possible. Cats and dogs should be ex cluded. The discharges from the mouth and nose must be received on cloths that can be burned, or in cups that can be disinfected. Vessels for receiving the discharges from the mouth, nose, kidneys and bowels should contain some of disinfectant No. 1 or 3, and after use should be cleansed with boiling water. Tho patient must not mingle with the well until all traces of the disease have left the throat and nose. Before leaving the sick room the body should be thoroughly washed, and fresh uninfected clothing should be put on, leaving everything else behind to be dis infected. Nurses must observe tho same final precautions. 2. General Precautions. —All should avoid sources of contagion. Well children had better be removed entirely from the house, but should be kept under observation, and if diphtheria develops brought home again so as pot to establish a new centre. Persons re maining in the house should not go to school, church, or any general gathering, nor to any house where there are young persons. If the disease has secured a foothold in a locality, every case of sore throat should be regarded as suspicious and excluded from schools and from contact with other children. It would be well to make sure that milk is not taken from a dairy where the disease exists. 3, Sanitary Precautions. —Houses should be kept clean, dry and well ventilated; par ticular attention should be given to the cellar. Drain pipes and fixtures should be perfect. The premises should bo well drained, leeching cesspools and privy vaults removed, all de composing accumulations of garbage or stable manure cleared away, and the place made in every way clean. These precautions are to be especially observed about domiciles where the disease exists. The condition of school fiouses should not be overlooked. - In case of death the body should be in closed in a sheet saturated with disinfectant No. 8, placed in a tight coffin not afterward openecq and burial should be private and with as little delay as possible. DISINFECTION. 1. Of the Room.. —During its occupancy as a sick room, the precautions suggested above as to destruction of disease germs attached to articles of any sort before their removal from it should be carefully observed, At the termination of the quarantine the room should be tightly closed and with all its in fected contents fumigated with the fumes of burning sulphur or of chlorine, which, es pecially if the latter is used, should be done only by a competent person. Arrange all the contents of the room so that their surfaces are readily reached by the disinfecting gas. The room should remain closed for twenty four hours, after which it and its contents should be aired thoroughly for several days. The woodwork should also be thoroughly washed, especially the tops of doors and win dows, and solution No. 2or 3 applied. Ceil ings should be whitewashed and wall paper removed, and the walls washed with one of the disinfectant solutions. Sulphur Fumigation.— Roll sulphur, in the proportion of two pounds for a room ten feet square, is burned by placing it in an iron ket tle, set in a tub containing a little water to guard against fire. It may be ignited by pour ing a little alcohol or kerosene on it. Chlorine Fumigation. —Mix well,breaking up all lumps, one part by measure of black oxide of manganese and two of common salt, and add enough water to make of the con sistency of cream. A teacupful of this mix ture is to be put into a large earthen vessel, as a washbowl, one or two of which may bo placed in each room. About an equal bulk of commercial sulphuric acid is to be finally poured into each vessel, beginning with the most remote, the person retiring quickly; it is best to pour this from a pitcher; avoid in haling the fumes by holding a handkerchief over the face. 2. Of the Premises.— The entire house should bo thoroughly cleansed. The premises also should be cleared of all unsanitary con ditions, and all drains, privy vaults and sites of uncleanly accumulations drenched with solution No. 1. Disinfectant Solutions. —No. 1. Sulphate of iron (copperas), three pounds; warm water, one gallon; for the discharges. This leaves rust spots on the clothing. No. 2. Sulphate of zinc (white vitriol), four ounces; couunon salt, two ounces; water, one gallon; for 1 clothing. No. 8. Corrosive sublimate, sixty grains; water, one gallon. Caution should be had of the dangerously poisoning char acter of this solution; it is well, as a precau tion, to color it by adding an equal quantity (sixty grains to the gallon) of permanganate of potash, with which, 'however, it stains fabrics, etc., to wash furniture and wood work. Lewis Balch, Secretary. . WISE WORDS. Good words are good, but good deeds are better. There is a woman at the beginning of all great things. Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent. Knowledge is dearly bought if we sac rifice to it moral qualities. The sweetest thing in life is the un clouded welcome of a wife. In youth one has tears without grief, in old age grief without tears. We find self-made men very often, but self-unmade ones a good deal oftener. And be aware of thine own children; and take heed of them of thy household. Where pride is there also shall he re proach, but where humility is there also is wisdom. To know how to be silent is more diffi cult, and more profitable, than to know how to speak. A man should never blush in confessing his errors, for he proves by avowal that he is wiser to-day than yesterday. Beware of him who meets with a friendly mien, and, in the midst of a cor dial salutation, seeks to avoid your glance. A homely man of merit is never repul sive ; as soon as he is named his physique is forgotten; the mind passes through it to see the soul. No man in daily life ought to be satis fied with what his life now is. He ought every day to be looking forward to some of the possible improvements. There are few husbands whom the wife cannot win in the long run by patience and love, unless they are harder than the rocks which the soft water penetrates in time. If you will be as pleasant and as anxious to please in your home as you are in the company of your neighbors, you may have one of the happiest homes in tho world. Charity itself commands us, where we know no ill, to think well of all; but friendship, that always goes a pitch higher, gives a man a peculiar right and claim to the good opinion of his friend. How a Sultan is Approached. M. Patenotre, the able French minister now at Tangier, is bent on getting some better local government for the diplomatic capital of Morocco. He has just started accordingly for Fez, the Sultan’s capital. “His cortege,” writes a correspondent, “was imposing—the baggage, tents and numerous presents for the Sultan and his vizier had to be sent on before—an elec tric boat had to be left behind, every thing had to be carried on the backs of mules, horses and donkeys. A detach ment of Moorish cavalry with crimson banners preceded the cortege, composed of French officers and about a dozen French soldiers, their arms gleaming brightly in the African sun. M. Patenotre headed the party on a white charger. He remarked the ride to Fez was likely to be a tame affair after his experience in Persia and Central Asia, where he had once rid den 300 miles in three days, whereas at his present rate he was not likely to reach Fez —or 150 miles—in less than ten days. M. Patenotre seems anxious to work with every one and conciliate the rival jeal ousies of the civilized flags at Tangier for the sake of achieving some real improve ment in the administration of that wild city-” ■ . , South American Cattle. The cattle occupying the great plains region of South America are all of one general type, the descendants of cattle brought to Central America and South America by the early Spanish adventurers. The old native cattle are long, heavy horned, and of a yellow-brown color. They make good work oxen, are large, strong, well able to take care of them selves, and as beef makers compare fa vorably with the cattle of California and Texas of forty years ago. The same may be said of the cattle of the Argentine Republic, and of the South American continent generally. Of late years a good deal has been at tempted in improving these cattle in Bra zil, the Argentine Republic and some other sections of South America. Within the next quarter of a century we may look for such modification, through cross ing with bulls imported from Great Brit ain and the United States, as will bring* the native cattle up to a fair standard of early maturity and beef production.— Prairie Farmer. Window Dressing a Fine Art. Window dressing is becoming a high art in this city, and the man who can best display the samples from the mag nificent stock that fills our dry goods palaces is sure of a salary far above that of an accountant or salesman. The show windows of the Olive street and Broadway dry goods emporiums present every day a beautiful display that repre sents often hundreds of thousands of dollars, and is equal to the special exhibits made in expositions. Two thousand dol lars a year can easily be earned by an expert and artistic window dresser. He is obliged to devote his entire time towards studying up how best to con tribute to the panorama of wealth and luxury. In New York city window dressers have been paid all the way from SSOOO to SIO,OOO per annum.— St. Louis Steer-Sayings. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Smoking is said to be good for hay fever. Iron railroad tics have been tried in this country and given up. California roofing slate is said to be the finest in the world. A new industry is the manufacture of ink from the oil and grease extracted from spent cotton waste. The Chinese laundrymen at Pittsburg, Penn., bleach their washes with chloride of lime, and the garments soon rot away. An English firm has just brought out a new sensitive flame burner, which can be extinguished entirely by a loud noise. A new process of hardening plaster of paris has been discovered whereby it can be adapted to the construction of floor ing in place of wood. A French scientist of the name of d’Assier declares that the earth is gradu ally getting colder, and that the severest period will be reached in the year 11,750. White lead is manufactured by the new Hannay method direct from the ore in the space of a few hours, while by the old process it was a matter of several months. The new Hengst powder made from straw is said to be smokeless, flameless, practically non-fouling and non-heating, and being granular, is not liable to pack. Pulu, the “vegetable silk” used by up holsterers for tine cushions and so on, looks like brown thistle down and grows upon the leaves and stalks of a tropical fern. At the German surgical congress, which recently met at Berlin, more than one in stance was shown of the entire removal of the larnyx and subsequent ability to speak. Electricity for the cure of consumption has attracted much attention of late years, either for generating ozone for inhalation or for its influence on the vasomoters as a current or as static electricity in baths. Water glass, which is simply glass with such excess of alkali that it dissolves in boiling water, is one of the most valua ble substances for fire proofing both wood and cloth, and much used in the arts as a vehicle for mineral paints. Somebody has discovered that peach stones can be used as fuel, and now they command $6 a ton in California. A sack of stones weighing eighty pounds will last as long as an equal weight of coal | and give greater intensity of heat. ! The ultimate extension of wrought iron is one-six-hundredth part of its length. The working strain is from one-sixth to one-fourth the main strength. Resistance to flexure acting evenly over the surface equals one-half the tensile strength. The British gunboat Sandfly, while under- I going experiments to determine the amount of water required to make up for wastage on a six-hour run at the most economical rate of speed, consumed coal at the rate of 2.64 pounds per horse-power per hour. If you add 15 to the pressure per square inch in pounds on a given boiler, and divide this sum by 18 and then multi ply the quotient by .24, the resulting , product will be the number of gallons of | water required by that boiler per horse | power per hour. The surface of the moon is exposed | during its long cloudless day of some i 850 hours to the direct rays of the sun, which shines upon it with a fierceness far beyond anything experienced on the j earth, and afterward it became almost ; immeasurably cold from its night of simi lar period. An Electric Mountain Railway. One of the most interesting achieve ments in modern engineering is the elec tric mountain railway recently opened to the public at the Burgenstock, near Lu cerne. The rails describe one grand curve formed upon an angle of 112 de grees, and the system is such that the journey is made as steadily and as smoothly as upon any of the straight funicular lines. The Burgenstock is al most perpendicular—from the shore of Lake Lucerne to the Burgenstock is 1330 feet, and it is 2860 feet above the level of the sea. The total length of the line is 938 metres, and it commences with a gradient of 32 per cent., which is in creased to 58 per cent, after the first 400 metres, this being maintained for the rest of the journey. A single pair of rails is used throughout, and the motive power, electricity, is generated by two dynamos, each of twenty-five horse power, which are worked by a water wheel of nominal ly 125 horse power, erected upon the river Aar at its mouth at Enochs, three miles away, the electric current being conducted by means of insulated copper wires. The loss in transmission is esti mated at 25 per cent. Exlmming a Revolutionary Yessel. In excavating to deepen a creek which is to be used as a timber basin for Messrs. H. P. Smart & Brothers new steam shingle mill, on the Vale Royal tract, the timbers of a large vessel have been partly ex humed. The end of the keelson can be seen imbedded in the mud at one point and about thirty feet from it a well-pre served live oak rib, with a part of the planking attached, was taken out. The land in the vicinity was reclaimed from the river, and there is a tradition that it was at or near this point that the British, during the siege of Savannah in 1779, by the armies under Generals D’Estaing and Lincoln, sunk vessels across the river to prevent the French and American war vessels, which had passed around the western end of Hutchinson’s Island, from enfilading the defenses of the town. It is not improbable that the old wreck which is now brought to light, if not one of those sunk at the time, has not been afloat during this century.— Savannah (ffa.) News.

A young lady in Portland, Me., has worked up a new business, in which she is said to be doing well—that of reading to old or disabled people. For morning walks or shopping thick veils are allowable, but for all other oc casions the sheerest dotted net, coming just below the chin, is the correct thing. An easy mitigation of the new baggy sleeve is to shirr it just below the arm bole, and set velvet or galloon under the shirring, with another row just above the cuff. It is discovered that Brooklyn nurses have a habit of drugging children when they take their charges out for an airing, in order-to gossip and flirt with the po licemen. Miss Harriet Hosmer, the sculptress, at a, reception given her by the Chicago Woman’s Club, wore five medals, four of gold and one of silver, which had been awarded her in Italy.

The ef fect alleged is “more quiet and equal style.” More than a third of the board school mistresses in London get salaries of over SIOOO a year, and there are altogether about 1000 in the metropolis and the provinces together who receive SOSO or upward. A company has been formed to erect, throughout Great Britain, blocks of dwel lings iu which solitary women may live side by side and enjoy the pleasure of cheerful society, without sacrificing citner their privacy or independence. _ A Lost City Tho mailing waters of the Potomac River, in the recent floods, dsstroyed a city that never existed—JacksOn City — at the south entl of the long bridge, op posite Washington, D. C. The name of the town has been in the mouth of com ers and goers at the bridge since the ad ministration of Gen. Andrew Jackson, who laid the corner-stone of Jackson City with much formality, and with a celebration that included all the military and civic organizations of the three Dis trict cities. George Washington Parke Custis, of Arlington, the adopted son of Gen. Washington, delivered the oration. Tents were erected and the occasion was the only gala day that Alexander’s Is land, on which Jackson City was found ed, ever had. Years ago a hotel was built near the bridge, and this was the only approach to a town that Jack son City ever made. It was for awhile a roadside inn. Lately it has been head quarters of games forbidden in the Dis trict. Long ago the corner-stone was dug up and its contents carried off, and the close of last week the rain came and the flood undermined and ruined Jackson City. Teeth Drawn by Electricity. People can have their super fluous teeth drawn by means of electricity. The process in question is very simple, scarce any apparatus being required beyond an ordinary two-eell battery, with vibrator attachment. This attachment is a thin strip of metal fastened at the ends, which is made to vibrate a thousand or more times per second by the electric current. At each vibration the circuit is cut off and renewed again, the effect being to give a perfectly steady flow of the mys terious fluid. The patient in the chair is given a handle to hold in each hand, and the current is turned on gradually until it becomes painful. Then he is told to grasp the handles as strongly as possi ble, the electricity—having been switched off for a moment —is turned on again suddenly, and the dental surgeon applies liis forceps simultaneously to the tooth. The instant the molar is touched it, as well as the parts surrounding, becomes electrified and absolutely insensible to pain. When it is withdrawn from the socket, the subject of the operation feels not the slightest disagreeable sensation. A jerk and the tooth is out, the patient drops the electric handles and .he pain less affair is over. War on Saloonists. The Indiana Grand Lodge of Kn’glits of Pythias, recently ill session at Indian apolis, Ind., took a step which threatens to lead to great demoralization. A reso lution was introduced declaring that saloon keepers should not he eligible to membership in the order. The ensuing discussion awakened a great deal of hit ter feeling, but the resolution was finally adopted by a two-thirds vote. The sa loon keepers and their friends immedi ately appealed to the Supreme Lodge. It is stated that nearly one-fourth of the order in Indiana are either identified with or in favor of the traffic, and if the action of the state Grand Lodge is sus tained, they will withdraw from the or der. (Jutte n Difference. In the rod parlor of the White House at Washington, D. C., a photographer took a picture of four generations of the Harrison family. The Rev. Dr. Scott sat on the extreme right of the group, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee came next, and the famous Baby Benjam.n Harrison McKee completed the gather ing. The latter did his best to make the affair a failure, and if it had not been for what is known as “the instantaneous process,” he would have succeeded. There is a difference of eighty-eight years between the generations represented in the picture. Dr. Scott is 88 and Baby McKee only two years of age. A Reported Miracle. The celebrated Canon Wiiberforcc, of London, England, writes to a newspaper that his belief in miracles has been strengthened by a miracle performed upon himself by means of anointing and prayer. “My internal ailment,” he writes, “was of such a nature that lead ing surgeons declared it to be incurable except at the cost of a severe operation. At last I sent for elders —men of God, full of faith—by whom I was prayed over and anointed, and in a few weeks the internal ailment passed entirely away.” The canon*takes pains to say that he was healed by “the Lord’s bless ing upon His own word.” - ' Why lie Hates ’Em. Miss Pyrte: “What makes you such a confirmed woman-hater, Mr. Olebach?” Mr. Olebach: “Well, when I was a young man a woman made a fool of me.” Miss Pyrte: “And you never got over it.” The Patterson Mills Co., of Chester, Pa., is looking out for a Southern loca tion for a spinning mill of 10,000 spin dles.
