affair, and, indeed, many parents purposely
expose their children to the disease ; but,
owing to carelessness in treating it, more
die of it than die of diphtheria or scarlet
lever. Beside,, it often leayes permanent
harm behind. Though the disease es, gener-
ally lighter in childhood, yet the suseapti-
bility
s much diminished in adult lite.
Measles begin as a cold, with ts running
at the eyes and nose, and. the rash is in
dark red apots, firat seen on the face and
forehead.
Scarlet fever commences -with a Bore
throat, and the cash appears as a general
redness of the skin, and shows itself first
about the neck and °hot.
Diphtheria. begins with marked weak -
nese, and the inflammation in the back part
of the mouth soon has a peculiar smell, as
of putrid meat,
no case should either of these diseasee
be trusted to home treatment While the

in 'preventing the spread of the disease, not
only in the sithole matter of disinfection,
but in completely isolating the child until

Some forms of ophthalmia (inflammation
of the eyea) are very contagious, and may
be communicated from child to child at
school. Teachers should be on the lookout
itt this matter. It is mostly prevalent
among the poor.
It would be well if, at our public schools,
during a period of infectious disease, the
girls were cautioned against the habit of
putting on each other's hoods and hats, and
of frequent bugging and kissing. Infecti-
otui diseases are often thus propagated.

Comidering the fact that at least one-third
of life is epent in bed, it is very essential
thatall our sleeping arrangements should be
ewe& as are most conducive to health. Te
greatest of care should be taken to arrange
for an abundant supply of freah air at all
times and seasons, since the air of an occu-
pied, unventilated apartment very soon be-
comes exceedingly foul. from organic poison,
and. disease germs are always abundant. It
is also of the matest importance that bed-
clothes and bedding be thoroughly subject-
ed each day to the disinfection of the air
and sunlight, since the human body throws
-off, every night, through the pores of the
akin, and by the breath, several (emcee of

Is taken to rid them of this effete matter,
it is re -absorbed by the next occupant of the
bed; or, if long neglectee, the waste decom-
poses, and gives the unpleasant, fusty odor
often experienced in sleeping -rooms. The
use of feather -beds is for this reason especi-
ally detrimental to health, since the feathers
not only undergo a slow decotoposition

able hygroscopic properties, absorb the fetid

There is a psge serving the Taoist pried
in a certain temple which is situated on a
mountpin of considerable height in Canton.
When he first came to the priests he was in

ing his need, took him into their temple to

The fruit and foliage of t,housands of
plants, having reached matttrity during
summer and early autumn, now enter upon
the process, of decomposition, developing
various foul and noxious gases, and thus
adding to the causes of disease already itt
operation. Fortunate it is when an early
lost in some degree purifies the inimmatic
atmosphere by destroying the septic gems
with which the air is filled. If frosts ae
severe and frequent, autumnal fevers may
be somewhat diminished in virulence; but
go long as the causes of disease exist, the
effect will be seen. The only safe sensible,
and prudent course to pursue, is carefully
avoid, so far as possible, the causes of &s-
eem, and keep the system' in suck a condi-
tion of healthfula.et-ivity, by the use af pro-

that the poisons which give rise to malarious
disease may be eliminated from the body as

disturbance. The causes of disease cannot
always be avoided; but their worst effects
on be warded off by proper attention to
'hygiene.

The season of the year will soon be at
band when every mother experiences a great
addition in the trouble of caring for her
children, in, consequence of the colds which
are "caught," or acquired in some other
'way; and all sorts of cough syrups, balsams,
ete., are brought inte requisition. Most of
these colds can be prevented by proper at-
tention to clothing. The clothing at night
should be sefficient, but not enough to cause
sweating, and should be carefully adapted
to the varying temperature of this season of
the year. The day clothing should consist
of warm woolen undergarments and thick
woolen outer-dothing, re-inforced by an

should not be allowed to run out-of-doors
