CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
How They Are Conveyed From the Sick to
Persons at a Distance.
It is sometimes quite difficult to de
termine the extent to which the com
municating particle can bo carried. It
is probable that the air from a small
pox hospital has given the disease to
persons a mile distant. On the contra
ry, scarlet fever has been brought into
the ward of a full but well-aired hos
pital and continued there a day with
out a single person contracting tho
disease. If we could be sure as to the
secretions and all the skin separations
from scarlet fever it would not be a
very communicable disease; yet we
have known a dress folded up at the
bed of a dying patient and placed in a
trunk, to convey the poison to a fami
ly of children four miles distant, when
the dress was unfolded in their pres
ence three months afterward. Whoop
ing-cough and diphtheria are proba
bly never conveyed by the first case
occurring, except by the breath or
sputa of the patient. Measles, on the
other hand, are communicated at much
greater distances. In general, any one
of this class of diseases having become
epidemic, the communication to others
is from houses and clothing far more
than from persons. Difficult as it is to
determine accurately all the facts as to
the conveyance of these diseases, their
transmissibility, their times of incep
tion and the time of greatest risk of
contagion, or when the 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 the sub
ject and have classified a large number
of cases as to the time from the first
symptom to the beginning of eruption,
the time from beginning of eruption to
cessation of fever, and the time from
beginning of eruption to when the pa
tient ceases to be infective. They
state the latter as follows: For small
pox, 56 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 cases where schools are con
cerned the time of return should be
guarded. It is to be remembered that
more depends upon the cleanliness of
the house and family and upon the
garments worn than upon the person.
It is often a question how far boards
of health shall require reports of con
tagious diseases. In any good system
of sanitary government such report is
required as to small-pox, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, typhus fever, cholera, and
as to measles when extensively epi
demic. We think strict rules should
be enforced upon physicians as to such
report, but that they should be paid
.therefor, inasmuch as such report is
of special service, quite different from
the certification of a death. The hab
its of different countries and States
differ much, but all agree that the re
Iport should be made by some one.
This is rendered more essential by re
cent facts, which show that by early
and strict isolation the common com
municable diseases are often prevented
from becoming epidemic.
It is often a question how far attend
ance at funerals should be prevented
in cases of death from communicable
diseases. We know of a recent case in
which the attendance of children at a
church funeral, the death having been
caused by malignant diphtheria, prob
ably led to a dozen deaths and many
cases in a sparse country village. The
exposure is far greater for children
"than for adults, If all details as to the
washing of the dead body, the dealing
with clothing, the time of transfer to
the coffin, the use of disinfectants,
cpuld be carefully regulated, it is
probable that the risk would be very
little; but as we can not rely upon the
carrying out of all these details, it is
' better to prohibit public funerals, and
to announce cause of death in all cases
of the more dangerous communicable
diseases.
Similar caution is needed as to the
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 is no excuse f<# ex
posing the young. With due precau
tion as to airing garments, it is very
rare that communicable diseases are
carried to others by the casual visitor.
We thus desire to caution all against
unnecessary exposure, and to secure
public opinion as an aid in preventing
the spread of a class of diseases which
counts so many victims.—N. T. Inde
pendent.
Auto-Inoculation of Boils.
Those who are ever troubled with
boils know as Job did, that it is com
mon to have a crop of boils. This is
doubtless due to impurities circulating
in the blood; it is also supposed that
it is possible to get a crop of boils
from one by what is called auto-inocu
lation. Which means that the dis
... charge from one boil if carried bj
Ungers or dressings to a healthy por
tion of the skin, may plant the seeds
of another one. To avoid this auto
inoculation it is well to use the precau
tion of antisepsis, or in short to disin
fect the emanations from the boil by
frequent applications, both before and
after it opens, of a solution of boric
acid and absolute alcohol. This affords
a pretty short means of preventing a
repetition or increase of boils by auto
inoculation, and where there is ten
dency to recurrence in spite of such
precaution, thorough constitutional
treatment for the blood is certainly
advisable.—Dr. Foote's Health Monthly.

SWINDLES OF WAITERS.
How Gueat* at Cafe* and Hotels Are Vic
timized and Deceived.
Said a returned tourist to a reporter
last evening: “I see it don’t take long
for the waiters on this side of the wa
ter to adopt European tactics when it
is to their personal advantage.”
“What, for instance?”
“From long and not unsual experi
ence in cafes in various parts of the
world, 1 have adopted the custom of
looking carefully over the itemized bill
brought me for my meals and compar
ing it with the prices on the bill of
fare. That is what an itemized bill
is for, and not simply to look like a
washing list. The other night when
dining rather liberally at one of the
up town hotels, I remarked a discrep
ancy as between the account presented
and the change, returned from the bill
I gave the waiter.
“It was only fifty cents short, but I
called the waiter’s attention to the
fact. He seemed astonished and count
ed the change twice, then, lifting the
bill of items from the plate where it
rested with the change, his features
were spread with a satisfied smile as
two quarters of a dollar appeared
thereunder. His hilarity disappeared,
though, when I told him that I had
spent time and money enough in Paris
to know that trick well, and always
rewarded them there, as I proposed to
do with him, by omitting his accus
tomed fee.”
“What is the trick?” queried the re
porter.
“Don’t you see that by hiding two
or three coins under the list in that
way when returning the change to a
careless man who does not count his
change, he would receive his tip and
the hidden coin also, but when serv
ing a more careful person, myself for
instance, and a recount was called for,
the missing coin could be found and no
suspicion of dishonesty attach to the
waiter, unless a fellow got tired of
having the same old chestnut played
too often. There are other tricks be
side that for capturing the careless,”
said the tourist. “One that is prac
ticed in France, where gold louis and
half louis are the most common coins
in circulation, is when the waiter re
ceives a louis he puts it between his
teeth, or seems so to do. You see the
gold right their in plain sight all the
time, but he gives you change for a
half louis only.
“You immediately call his attention
to the fact and remark that it was a
louis you gave him. ‘But no, sir,’ he
says, ‘see there,’ and takes the coin
from between his teeth and behold it
is only a half louis. You are puzzled,
for you were confident that it came
from the little spring case that a half
louis would not fit, and can not ac
count for it until you learn that he has
had the half louis in his mouth wait
ing for just such an occasion. The only
safe way, therefore, is the moment you
see your louis going toward his mouth,
let the battle begin, and tell him to let
it remain on the table until the change
is given. That is not all, for in the
supper rooms at the various cafes in
Paris the number of the room is placed
right over the column of figures and
added in with the total amount. I sup
pose if the room were not numbered
they would add in the date; any thing,
in fact, to make the amount bigger.”—

AN OLD PUNISHMENT.
The Introduction of Tarring and Feather*
ing as a Torture.
Philologists have long observed that
mords that are popularly known as
“Americanisms” are really good old
English terms brought over by the
pilgrim fathers, the early settlers on
the James, etc., and retained here
when forgotten in the country of their
birth. Similarly, not a few Dutch
words—boss, boodle, etc.—brought
over by the early settlers of New
Amsterdam, have spread from their
original American habitat, till they
have become part of our speech. It is
not less interesting to note that cer
tain customs, forgotten in their home
land, but retained here, and, there
fore, characterized as “American,” are
really importations from Europe. Not
one of these customs has been regarded
as more distinctively “Yankee” than
the venerable one of “tarring and
feathering,” and yet we learn from the
“Annales Rerum Anglicarum” of the
venerable English historian, Hoveden
(living in the thirteenth century and
Court Chaplain to Henry III.) that
the custom is at least as old as the
time of Richard the Lion-hearted. He
tells that Richard, on setting out on
the third crusade, made sundry enact
ments for the regulation of his fleet,
me of which was that “A robber who
shall be convicted of theft shall have
his head cropped after the fashion of a
champion, and boiling pitch shall be
poured thereon, and the feathers of a
cushion shall be shaken out on him, so
that he may be known, and at the first
land at which the ship shall touch he
shall be set on shore.” Whether the
custom was earlier than this we have
no means of determining. It is at
least close on to seven hundred years
old.—American Notes and Queries.
—Ada—“What was your first meal
alone with your husband when you
left for the honeymoon?” Elsie (aged
sixteen)—“Oh, Charley, let me make
it out. We had chocolate ice-cream,
kisses, lemonade, blanc-mange, char
lotte russe, strawberries, vanilla ice
cream, coeoanut drops, Neapolitan
ice-cream, wine jelly, bananas, raisins,
tutti-frutti, milk punch, raspberries,
floating island, and pistache ice
cream.” Ada—“Any thing else?"
Elsie (gloomily)—“Yes; a long ill
aess.”—Time.
FREAKS OF CONSCIENCE.
An Instance When the Silent Monitor
Caused a Thief to Repent.
Constant readers of newspapers may
have observed that a curious epidemic
of conscience often follows the commis
sion of a great crime. Men and even
women hasten to accuse themselves of
the particular offense which is excit
ing public interest, or of similar crimes
that have never come to light or have
been forgotten. The polioe are often
compeled to investigate confessions
made under the influence of drink or
of a morbid imagination. Not long ago
a largo field in the neighborhood of
London was dug up in the expectation
of discovering the skeleton of a farmer
who disappeared mysteriously thirty
years before. A sailor declared he had
murdered the missing man and buried
him in a meadow. No remains were
discovered, but the result of the investi
gations made by the police led to the
trial and conviction of the sailor for a
murder committed by him a few weeks
previous to his false confession. A
thief is not often troubled by that silent
monitor called conscience. There is,
however, on record one instance in
which either conscience or gratitude
compeled a thief to make restitution.
Charles Dickens, the novelist, when in
France was robbed of his watch—a
valuable gold repeater, presented to
him by admirers who had caused their
appreciation to be engraved upon the
case. Dickens’ grief was short, for, on
the following afternoon, he received
the watch, and with it a polite note
apologizing for any inconvenience that
might have been caused by its tem
porary withdrawal. The pickpocket
had not recognized his victim as a
fellow-countryman, and still less as the
inimitable portrayer of Bill Sykes.—

THE JUNIOR’S RIGHT.
How tho Youngest-Born is Always Fa
voted hi Song and Story.
The widerango of junior-right is ono
of the most remarkable discoveries of
recent anthropological science. The
younger son inherited to the exclusion
of all other collaterals. Fairy lore has
seized upon this idea with avidity.
Fairy favorites are, of course, always
young and beautiful. Cinderella is the
type of these fairy favorites. She is
the youngest of the three sisters. The
two elder girls are old and ugly, she is
young and beautiful. They are cross
and badly disposed, she is sweet-tem
pered and gentle. The fairy god
mother has no interest in the fortunes
of the two elders, her cares are exclu
sively served for Cinderella. Of course,
the Prince falls in love with her, for
how should the glass slipper fit any
other than the fairy favorite? In tho
“Arabian Nights” story of tho “Three
Sisters” it was again the youngest
whom the Sultan overheard express
ing an ambition to become the Em
peror’s queen-consort. The eldest sis
ter had been content with the baker,
the second with the cook, and when
the youngest carries off the matri
monial prize, the others use their ut
most endeavors to make her feel the
effects of their jealousy and malice.
With beauty and the beast again, it is
the youngest of the merchant’s daugh
ters that plays the title role. But it is
surely needless to multiply instances.
Whenever a dens ex machina is needed
to marvelously relieve a difficulty, tc
do a deed of daring, or in any way to
retrieve the family fortunes, it is the
youngest child, male or female, that
will probably prove itself the hero.

Living on the Reputation of Others.
“Take everything that I have but my
good name; leave me that and I am con

manufacturers of genuine articles to that
horde of imitators which thrives upon the
reputation of others. The good name of
Allcock’s Porous Plasters has induced
many adventurers to put in the market im

best elements of the genuine article, but
are often harmful in their effects.
The public should be on their guard

A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO.
How Seth Warner Won a Wife and Be
came Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont, the
famous hero of tho Revolutionary war, was
a leading fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the State
of New York, and its authorities obtained
an edict of the King of England in their
favor. The settlers were stung by the sup
posed injustice. This state of things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front.
With Ethan Allen and others he actively
opposed every effort of tho New York .State
authorities to enforce possession, and final
ly he, with Allen and others, were outlawed
and a price put on their heads 1
To circumvent New York, it was neces
sary that some one should go into that state
and gain required information. Col. War
ner, assuming for safety the name of “Dr.
Howard,” undertook this perilous and ro
mantic journey.
While on his way homo he stopped at a
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were storm-bound. The father
fell ill and the daughter called upon Col.
Warner, who, with his wide knowledge of
simple remedies, successfully treated the
“old man,” and ho finally won this devoted
woman for a wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon in
those years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some unpro
fessional friend versed in the use of simple
herbs and roots. Tho health of early set
tlers and tlieir powers of endurance con
vince us that such medicines did only good
and left no poison in the blood to work as
much injury to tho system as would tho dis
ease itself.
In time of peace tho Colonel was in con
stant demand for his knowledge of simple
remedies and their power over disease.
But it was left to another of his name of
the present age to give to the public what
was then used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration of
the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs t# a family
of wido distinction; no less than eight
members thereof won fame in the regular
practice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people of
this generation of the old time simplo rem
edies, his direct descendant, H. H. Warner,
the well-known proprietor of 'Warner’s
safe cure, for many years has been experi
menting with old time roots and herbs
formulae and, his search having been finally
rewarded with success, he gives the World
the result. These recipes and formulae in
other days accomplished great things be
cause they were purely vegetable and
combined simply so as to cure the disease
indicated, without injury to the system.
In harmony with their old timo character,
we learn that he proposes to call them
Warner’s Log Cabin remedies, using as a
trade-mark an old-fashioned American log
cabin. Wo understand that he intends to
put forth a “sarsaparilla,” for tho blood,
the sarsaparilla itself being but one of a
number of simple and effective elements;
“Log Cabin hops and buchu,” a general
stomach tonic and invigorator: “Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy,”
“ Warner’s Log Cabin hair tonic;” a prep
aration for that universal disease catarrh,
called “Log Cabin rose cream;” “Warner’s
Log Cabin plasters;” and “Warner’s Log
Cabin liver pills,” which are to be used in
connection with other remedies, or in
dependently as required.
Warner’s safe remediesare already stand
ards of the most pronounced scientific
value in all parts of the world, and wo have
no doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for the
diseases they are intended to cure, will be
of equal merit, for Mr. Warner has tho rep
utation of connecting his name with no
preparation that is not meritorious.

To Take French Leave.
If wa could only persuade that unwelcome
visitant, chills and fever, to do this, we
would be fortunate. But while we can’t ex
actly make it “cut and run,” we can uproot
its hold upon the system in time with Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters. This is known
wherever malaria is a periodical caller. It
is, also, a matter of wide information that
the Bitters cures biliousness, dyspepsia,
debility and rheumatism.
Ix is best not to dispute where there is
no probabilities of convincing.
Smith (with smiling face)—What have
you got the blues about?
Jones—Nothing to do. Times are dull.

A great mistake perhaps wms made when
Dr. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash Bitters; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc., were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash “Regulator,” “Curative,” or
almost anything but Itittcrs, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara
tions of similar character. The name Bit
ters is misleading; it is purely a medicine,
and can not be used as a beverage.
