VICTORIA SANITATION.
The question of public sanitatatiou has
just taken a practical turn in the instruc
tions issued by the municipality to Mr.
Pickering, of the firm of Pickering &
Crompton, engineers, Whitehaven, Eng
land, to journey to this city and examine
thoroughly the local surroundings, and
make the necessary surveys to obtain a
g-nenl design, furnishing all the re
quired data tor an efficient and lasting
system of city drainage. The council
have thus taken the steps to got the first
essential, a plan drawn up from personal
examination and engineering knowledge
and having procured such a plan, will bo
in no-wise committed to any contractor,
but. in a position to receive, find intelli
gently descriminatc between tenders when
they are called for the work. Bat the
commencement, not to speak of tho com
pletion ot what will bo the most imp >r
taut civic work ever under taken here,must
naturally be a question ot time, and, speak
ing subject to correction, three more
years will probably have passed ere a sys
tem of underground sewerage will bo in
vogue Imre. By tins calculation, then i
three more dry seasons will have to coni'*
and go. and to pr-veat the possible re
cuiienccof the motto diseases, direct
ly traceable to insanitary ounJitions*
which became so prevalent during
the summer ami full ot 1381 and the
spring ot 1885. Without giving a
scientific definition ol the term zymotic it is
sufficient here to say that diseases coming
under this head are due to certain prin
cipals unfavorable to hum in life, and
which comuliicato infection by fermen
tation, during which they throw off
sporos or germs. Among these diseases
are clas-ed smallpox, measles, scarlet fe
ver, whooping cough, diphtheria, typhoid
fever and diarrhea». The first four
diseases arc very ciprious in their ap
pearance and decline, and arc not abso
lutely preventable by any known con
ditions (except that in smallpox the
greatest safeguard is general and efficient
vaccination). Still these four sicknsses
are dep-nJont for their greater or lesser
virulence upon the surroundings ot the
patient, hcalthfull or otherwise. Pneu
monia, bronchitis, rheumatism, headache,
neuralgia, and the majority of acute
diseases—and even dyspepsia —ire,
thotigli*not classed ks zymotic diseases,
again and again caused uy the inlmla ion
of impure air. But the latter three ot the
seven zymotic diseases first named,
viz, diptheria, typhoid fever and diarrlmea
are preventable diseases,and cbeir presence
is unmistakable evidence ol iustini tary
conditions. Prevention is said to be
better than cure, and w bile doctors in
some cases may euro these diseases, it is
f hc duty and in the power of the city
council to prevent their advent. II ivv
this can be done is clear, the knowledge
of the cause pointing out the remedy,
Fermenting garbage, afagnent pools, slimy
and blocked-up gutters into which the
overflow from* closets bus lieen allowed
to run, the system of cesspools, over
crowding (aa obtains among Chinese) and
protection of the people by the public
authorities from contamination and adul
terations of food and drink; —given cor
rection ot these causes and the Diseases
known ns typhoid, diphtheria, dianoen,
and that nondescript one wiiieb has for
want of a b*tt«r name been know as
‘‘malaria,” will bo unknown in our midst.
Though it is more difficult to connect the
prevalence of typhoid and diarrhoea with
imperfect drain ago than it is in the case
of diphtheria, yet the inlimats relation is
known and admitted. It has. however,
other and equally prolific sources of com*
munication, such us milk, and especially
water in which has been steeped decayed
vegetable matter. Diarrhoea also,
though frequently caused by eating un
ripe or unsound tiuit, has been proved in
many cases to have been directly produced
by sewer gas, while the foul and decom
posing refuse, animal or vegetable, that
ctn rvating sickness which permcats the
whole system and is know
as malaria is invariably due. In
England the mortality from the three
preventable zymotic* has been gradually
but surely decreasing: and from three
AnacortON W f Saturday, January 2, I
deaths to two births at the beginning of
the present century the mortality has
decreased to three births to two deaths—
simply by the improvement of and atten
tion paid to sanitary laws resulting in n
drainage system that as nearly as possible
at*ains perfection. We have thus en
deavored to show to what epidemics of
typhoid and dypbtheria are due, and how
they can bo avoided. What therefore, is
required before the appro ich of the warm
season is the compulsory abolition «f all
cesspools, the substitution of earthen
closets and regularity of removal ot their
contents, the frequent flushing of drains
and gutters (the question of the scarcity
of water is not now entered upon), proper
ventilation of households and prenntion
trnrn overcrowding, a pure water supply
and unadulterated food, and a rigid pro
hibition of the indiscriminate deposit of
organic refuse. The thorough ddservanco
of these requirement* may indicate extra
expenditure, but this again does not
properly uff.*ct thu tracing of effects to
their causes. It has been painted out,
and it rests with tho public whether they
decide to b« affected iu their nealth or
their pockets; and it the latter, wlotbe r
they will elect as councillors men pledg
ed to consider the general health of the
community as among the first ol their self
assumed obligations.—Colonist.
Tho Co-opoutive Flan.
Probably tew of the people are aware
of abe extent tr* which the co-operative
plan has been successfully carried out in
Grsat Britain. It appears from a report
recently made by (lonsul Lalbrop, of
Bristol, to the secretary ot atate, that the
total trade transacted by the co-operative
societies there fnra 1863 to 1882 amount
ed to $1,339,000,000 on which a profit ot
nearly $166,000,000 was earned aad di
vided among the members. In the lat
ter year there were 1;3(J4 co-operative
retail societies, of wbicii 1,150 made offi
cial reports. These haye a member ship
ot 655,045, and nearly all this number
being heads of fam lies; it is estimated
that considerably more than 2.500,000 of
people are connected with the co-opera
tive movement. As yet, however, its
benefits have been confined to the more
prosperous portion of the Working classes,
puoror clncdeg being too much en
gaged in the constant struggla for a live
lihond to take intciest :u matt era beyond
their daily bread.
In 1864 wholesale co-operation whs
successfully established. Such of the
retail stores as choose to uaite were sup
plied by the wholesale establishment.
Fifty societies joined that year, with a
membership ot 17,500 and a capital of
$4,800. In seven years the membership
h.d increased to 115,000 and the capital
to $ 110,000, besides loans amounting to
as much again. They began by dealing
in food products only, hut they soon
branched out iu other directions, Their
dry goods’ sales in amounted to
over a million. They became furniture
dealers, establish‘d butter-buying agen
cies in Ireland, and are now the largest
importers of Irish butter in England.
They own a fleet of steamers to bring
over the products purchased by tliei r
Hgents iu Hamburg nnd C penhagen, and
tlieir agent in New York in 1883 forward
ed them products to the value of over a
million. In 1873 they became bankers,
and in 1883 their business in.this division
was $79,000,000. They ere their own
underwriters and have established a suc
cessful insurance company, have eng tged
in various manufactories, and ono ol their
shoe factories can turn out a million
pairs ot shoes a year. Same of their en
terprises have besn failures, but the los
ses have been more than compensated by
bringing the members ia more direct
communication with the producer and
lower freights.
The same system is firmly established
in Germany, France and Italy, and in
the latter couutury a plan of international
co-operation has been proposed. It
contemplates a company with a capital
of twenty millions, in 800,000 shares at
$35 each, to be subscribed in Europe and
the United States by producers and con- 1
suraers together without tho intervention
of middlemen; but it is stated that large
sums hare been offered by foreign man
ufacturers to inaugurate such a company,
and the consul thinks that, ns the United
States needs international co-operution
mom than any other country, our manu
facturers and exporters can find in the
proposed plan, or iu seme part of it,
something adapted to their needs.
Advantages of Crying.
A French physician is out in a long dlsser
tafion on the advantages of groaning and
■nyiug in general, and especially during
inrgical operations. He contends that groan
ing and crying are two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish; that those
patients who give way to their natural feel
ings more speedily recover from accident*
and operations than those who suppose it
unworthy a man to betray such symptom*
of cowardice as either to groan or cry.
He tells of a man who reduced his pulse
from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty
<n the course of a few hours by giving full
vent to his emotions. If people are at all
mhappy about anything, let them go into
heir rooms and comfort themselves with a
,oud boo-hoo, and they wifi feel a hundred
per ceut. better afterward.
Iu accordant with the above, the crying
of children should not. be too greatly dis
•ouraged. If it Is systematically repressed
be results may ho St. Vitus’ dance, epilep
.ic rite, or sonic other disease of the nervous
system. What is natural is nearly alway*
useful, and nothing can he more natura.
than the crying of children when anything
occurs to give thorn cither physical or men
tal pain.
Plain Talk to Girls.
Ymir every day toilet is a part of yon*
character. A girl who looks like a “ furry v
or a sloven in the morning, is not to be
trusted, however finely she may look in the
evening. No matte;- how humble yom
room may be, there are eight things it should
;ontaiu, viz. : a mirror, soap,
towel, comb, hair, nail and touth brushes.
Those are just as esseutial as your breakfast
before which you should make good anc
i rcc use of them. Parents who fad to pro
vide their children with such appliances,
00l only make a great mistake, but commit
•i siu of omission. Look tidy in the morn
ing, and after the dinner work is over, im
prove your toilet.
Make If- a i ule of your daily life to “ dree*
•j* ”in the afternoon. Your dress may, or
teed not lie. anything better than calico,
.u( with a ribbon, or flower, or some bit of
.ruameut, you enu have an air of self re
ive:' ai d satisfaction, that invariably conics
