 " ^.K^ ^^^ ' f£. HEALTH. Shutting OQt Disease. Nothing is more expenslTe than a. deadly epidemic. Memphis, ten years ago, became » charnel-houne. Yellow fever raged almost unchecked, until it was forced to cease from its deadily work by lack of victims. The condition of the city seemed so hopeless that the suecestion was actuaUy made to lee the flames consume what the p3stilence had "^Bnt, instead of yielding to despair, the most intelligent and broad miuded men of the city secured the appointment, by the American Public Heakh Aasociationj oi a competent committee, to ascertain the exact condition of things, and to advise as to the proper means of relief. This was done, and now Memphis is a notable illustration of the value of sanitary science, intelligently and earnest y applied. The Hon. J. W. Clap said, in his Ad- dress of Welcome to the American Public Health Association," which lately met in Memihii, "Here is a great and growmg ci y, whose vital stat'ssics now challenge comparison with those of any other in the Mississippi Valley, that, less than a decade ago, was generally regarded as a pestilential hot-bed whose doom was irrevocably fixed, and whose very existence was considered as a menace to the general welfare. •• This doom was averted, and the city placed upon the highway of prosperity by the indomitable energy and unsparing self- â- acrifice of its citizens, who, when over- whelmed with affliction and stinted in the very means of living, expended more than a million of dollars in local samtation." According to the same authority, its credit IB now above par, 'hough in 1879 the city was on the vergj of fiaancial ruin. Twenty- five miles of substantial sione and gravel have taken the place of nine miles of decay- ing wooden pavement. Forty five miles ot thorough sewerage, with corresponding sub- soil drain-tiles, have superseded the former defective sewerage and the foul vaults that perforated the soil. This improvement in the health of Mem- has been followed by a wonderful ona efforts on the part of her phy»ci»n. Numerous other owes have oocurrwl m which eating a single nutmeg has prodncea most distressing Bymproms of poisoning.

The popular notion that rain-water is always pure, is by no means correct As a sanitarian sententiously remarked sometime since, rain-water is nature's dish-water. It washes the atmosphere of dust and germs. Besides, rain-water often swarms with im- purities, as the result of contammation from cesspools or vaults indeed, no water is safe without intelligent care. Tlie Domestic Doctor. A pan of sliced raw onions, placed in a room where there is diphtheria, will ab- sorb the pjison and prevent the disease from spreading. The onions should be buried every morning and fresh ones cut up. Professor Brinton says that the very beat thing for a sprain is to put the limb into a vessel of very hot water immediately, then add doiling water as it can be borne. Keep the part immersed for twenty minutes, or until the pain subsides then apply a tight bandage and order rest. Sometimes the jdint can be used in twelve hours. If neces- sary, use a silicate of sodium dressing. The nervous irritation produced by tin- nitus, or noises in the ear, from which many persons suflFer much, has been mentioned as a possible c»use of mental disorder. The coarser diseases of the ear are subject to surgical treatment from without but ner- vous affections provoked by obscure dis- orders are not so amenable, because their causes are more subtila, although none the less real. Sometimes an obstruction of the eustachian tube may be the chief cause of tinnitus. One of the best remedies for chronic sore throat is packing the throat over night. On Â¥batIDo.

Who can doubt that sanitation pays lor Catarrh. Here are a few excellent prescriptions for Nasal catarrh, which, by extensive experi- ence, we have found to be the most satisfac- tory, in ordinary cases, of any remedies which we have ever employed. 1. To a pint of water add 2 drams of baking soda and one ot borax. Apply to the nose with an atomizer giving a coarse spray. Tne spray should have sufficient force to carry the fluid through to the.back of the throat. If there is much dripping in the throat, the spraj should also be applied by means of tube to the post nasal region at the back of the throat, by throwing the spray up behind the soft palate. This so- lution 13 for the purpose of cleansing the mucous membrane, and should be used thoroughly in all cases where there is a dis- charge frum the nose, either a fluid discharge or masses of dried mucus. 2. To a pint of water add two or three ounces of listerine, which can be obtained at any drug store. Uie this with an atomi- zer same as directed with No. 1. 3. When,there is a very profuse discharge from the no'se, use the following in the place of No. 2 alum, 2 drams listerine, 3 oz. water, 1 pint. 4. In all cases of catarrh in which there is les3 discharge, but much thickening of the mucous membrane, as indicated by the ob- struction of the nostrils, breathing, and snoring during sleep, use the following so- lution to follow No. 1 Iodine of zlac, 2 drama iodine, 5 grains listerine, 3 oz. water sufficient to make 1 pint. in cold water and wrung as dry as possible, over -which put three or four thicknesses of dry flannel, and cover all with oiled siik or muslin. In the morning, remove the band- age, and bathe the throat with equal parts of vinegar and water, or salt and water, a tablespoonful to the quart. Before break fast gargle a half pint of water, hot as can be borne. Keep the skin active, and don't take cold. Brewery Stomachs. A man who habitually suffers from "sour stomach," a form of dyspepsia, may be a temperate man by profession, and a total abstainer from alcoholic drinks but he is nevertheless imbibing alcohol. The writer has many times noticed in this class of dys- peptics the flushed face, bloodshot eyes, quickened pulse, and many other symptoms which accompany mild intoxication. The breath also often has a taint of alcohol upon it. That alcohol is formed during fermenta- tion in the stomach, as well as elsewhere, there can be no doubt. As is well known, it is the function of the saliva to convert starch into sugar. The starch consiitutes about half the weight of farinaceous foods. Besides, more or less sugar is taken with the food. An ounce of sugar, when fer- mented, produces nearly two thirds of an ounce of pure alcohol, or the equivalent of asore than an ounce of whiskey. Probably not less than four ounces of starch and sug- ar are taken at an ordinary meal. Suppose, then, that in a case of dyspepsia the food remains in the alimentary canal long enough for one- half the starch and sugar taken at one meal to be converted into alcohol, we have as a result, the equivalent of not less than two ounces of whiskey. Is it any wonder then that the dyspeptic is flushed and giddy or excited, and sometimes com- â- p ains of a feeling of partial intoxication a lew hours after eating 1 It may be a new idea that a man may get dnmk on a bad dinner, but the fact remains that a sour stomach is actively engaged in the production of alcohol, becoming a sort of brewery, in fact. Such a stomach needs a good disinfection, and its possessor can hardly be called a total abstainer until he has BO reformed his diet that he has put a stop to the manufsbcture of alcohql in his own alimentary canaL i Danger in Soaps. Everybody does not know that aoaps, es- pecially in hotels, become, not infrequently, a source of disease. About every inan in fifty has some sort of contagions skin disease. Soaps and towels in hotels and public insti- tationB are ofteii a means of commnnicating maladies not by kny means easy to eradicate. Bettor go with dirty hands and face than to ran the risk of contracting a distreaaing or oSenuve malady.

It is an old Spanish proverb, we believe, " He who lives with wolves will soon learn to howl." He who lives with the faults of his friends, and counts them over and -sorts them and weighs them and measures them, will soon have equally grave ones of his own, which his friends will be sure to see, and which will make him positively unable to cure them. There is nothing that so de- teriorates character as this undue looking after faults and blemishes in others while we are blind to our own. We may abhor mean- ness and stinginess in our neighbor, and be able to give a hnadred reasons why he should give away more in charity, and see a thou- sand little things indicating his smallnesa of soul, and at the same time we may be so en- grossed with one phase of meanness in him as to forget another phase of meanness in ourselves. We may abhor untruth so ve- hemently in some one else that we shall for- get to hate impurity in ourselves. We may depise our neighbor for his sharpness and trickery, and spread over our own slackness and idleness and shif tlesiness the coverlet ot " Thank God, I'm not a sharper " The idle, thriftless man can never reform the over-shrewd speculator the impure man can never lift the untruthful man out of the bog the gossip is not fit to cure the miser of his selfishnes. There is only one way, af ter all, to reform the world. Not by learn ing to howl at its faults, or to bark at its mistakes, but first to begin the work of re formation with ourselves. We come back inevitably to the old truth so often before stated "In order to make the best of others we must first make the best of our selves. ' ♦ Stanley and £min Fasha. The New York Sun says â€" Our latest ad- vices from Emin Pasha are dated Sep:. 24, last year, at which time S^^anley had not ar- rived at Wadelai. Three months, lacking four days, had elapsed since Stanley started from Yambuga on his journey of SCO miles overland. He did not expect to be quite so long, but the difficulties of his route, much of which was through a dense forest region, were perhaps greater than he anticipated. His force was strong enough to repel any attack, but possibly too large to be easily provisioned in a rather sparsely inhabited region, and the difficulty of buying food may have caused delay. Stanley solved the food problem in the famine-stricken region of Stanley Pool with great ability, and though scant supplies may have caused delay and losses, we have no reason as yet to fear for the success of his expedition. Emin Pasha is making considerable stir in Central Africa, and he needs only the muni- tions that Stanley has taken to him to en- able him to set on foot his projects for de- veloping his province. He needed ammuni- tion, not for purposes of offence, but for self-protection if attacked in his work. Capt. Casati, in his last letter, speaks of a formerly hostile King as seeking a friendly alliance with Emin Pasha, and Mr. Gordon, writing from Uganda on Sept. 22, aaya that King Mwanga, with all his thoosanja of soldiers, is in great fear of Emin. and sus- pects that the English will_yet come to avenge the murder of Bishop BLannington.

The boat in which R^b Norria decided to make his trip over Niagara Falls was built like a yawl. It was not so very sharp, but waa wide and deep and buoyant. It waa ever ao much better for the purpose than a barrel or auit of blown-up India-rubber, or any kind of diving armor. He intended to use oars, and he rigged a mast and sail for- ward, for he meant to make the trip on some day when the wind should be blowing 'atrongly down the river. What he naost re- lied upon to steady the boat was his drag- board. This waa made of two boards, each twelve feet long and one fcot wide, nailed together at the edges so that it all looked like four yards of a wooden gutter. He fit- ted two iron ringa into the edge of one board. They were aix feet apar./, and when a rope waa pat throagh the rings and f aa tea- ed to the stern of the boat, it was plain that the drag-board would drag tremendonaly. " You don't mean to take along any pro- visions, do you " asked Jim Hooker. " Of course not," said Rob. " It's one of those things that doa't take a great while to do." " And you won't need any lantern," said Jim, " anlesa you drift into the cave under the falls after yon get down. Do yoa a'pose you will " ** No," said Rob, " there isn't any danger of that. All I want is to go over steady, and come down right aide up. It's too misty to see anything, lantern or no lantern. The river runs right along, and the boat'll go oat with the river." " I'd take a Untem if I waa going," aaid Jim. Everybody ought to bar J a candle or or something when they're going into a stange place. Rob thought about it and concluded that, after all, he had better have some lanch put up, but that there wouldn't be any placri around the bottom of the falls dry enough to scratch a match on, and so. a candle would be of no use. It waa better, too, to go bare- footed than to wear rubbers, and a tin dip- per was worth more than a sponge to bail the boat with, if any water should come in. Of course everybody knew that Rjb was gaing over the falls, and some people talked against it, aud said there was too much risk in it. Rob himself thought that there might be some, and he expected to get wet, but he had a great deal of confiience in his drag- board. When the day came, and the trip was to be made, all the boys were at the lauding, just as Rob expected. It was per- fectly natural that they should come, and that all of them should feel disappointed because he would not let them have seats with him in the boat but they ought not to have called him stingy, nor to bave said that he wanted to have his ride, and the falls too, all to himself. What he really was afraid of was that if one of them came along, especially Jim Hooker, he might be all the while meddling with the drag- board and disturbing the balance of the boat, so that she would not go oyer the falls well. As for other people, it was jas: as Jim Hooker had said that it would be every- body that lived within twenty miles was there. Both banks of thj river swarmed with them â€" men, women, and children. Rob counted fourteen Sunday schools, banners and all, and some Turnvereius, and a S jhutzenfest, and afree-laborproccs8ion,aad associations for the improvement of general information, besides a militia regiment and some fire companies. All along the bank of the river people had built great wooden stair platforms, to let out seats at ten cents each, and they were all full, and Rob wish- ed that they had to divide the profits with him. Considering that he was the boy that was to gu over the falls, it would have been exactly the fair thing, and would have given him no end of pocket money. The moment Rob set the boat looae and pulled out from the ahore, people began to cheer and wave their handkerchiefa and the militia regiment fired a salute. Rob threw over his drag -board, put up the sail, and began to row hard right down- stream. The rapids carried the bo it along so swiftly that everybody cheered again. At the same time the sail and tde rowing kept the boat going a little faster than the raplda, so that the drag- board away oat behind, more than six feet from the atern of the boat, had a fair chance to drag and keep things perfectly steady. Rob had never before felt ao proud in all hia life, for he knew he waa beating all the men that ever jumped over from anywhere into anything. It would aurely make him famous forever, and every boy in the world is anxioua to become a great man, and have all Borta of things aaid about him, and have his name in the p ipera. The boat swam splendidly, and the wind blew harder and harder, and the falls roar- ed louder as they came nearer that ia, as Rob and his experiment ci^me nearer to them. The orowda aloiuc the ahore took a deep intereat and cheered a great deal, and aever- al boya tried to aee if they could throw atonea as far out aa the boat waa. Two of them aacceeded, and the atonea they threw oame right into the boat, but they didn't happen to hit Rob. He luiew that all great men have atonea thrown at them, and he didn't mind it. The f alia roared loader, the wind blew harder, the water ran awifter, the drag- board worked better and better, and Rot waa aare he aaw a rainbow in the miac ahead of him. "There'a the edgel" heahoated,aB he took in hia oara and turned aronnd. "I must be looking ahead when I go orer, or I aha'n't aee what'a oominit" It waa the laat chance for the boya on ahem, and some of them threw atonea with all their might, but they miaaed their »i«\ and had noth^ whatever to bnu( with the impetna ahe had gathered all the way, and with the force of the wind upon tiieaaiL _, It waa juat as he had expected. The water kept hold of the drag-board, and it took the boat down nicely all the way, with the face of the great falls about four feet behind the atom. If it had not been for the drag-board the boat would have either tipped over or gone down endwise and spilled Rob out As it waa, she came down into tHe water at the bottom steadily and evenly, as buoyant aa a cork, and ahot away down-stream. Rob felt prouder than ever for just one moment^ while he thought of how great a man it would make him but the clrag board began to pull a little too strongly, and there was so dark a fog he wished he had followed Jim Hooker's advice and brought a candle or lantern. It drew and it drew, and it was pulling him in under the falls. The water began to come down right on his face and into his month, and just as he was gasping and choking he heard Jim Hooker exclaim •' Well, Rib Norris, the bells just rung to let out school.

Fires, blizzards, railway accidents, murdera, auicidea and all the other pretty little thinga which go to give the newspaper proprietor hia daily bread, seem to rotate over the surface of the earth like the storms which are exported with such remarkable regularity from the United Statea of America. George Sims, writing in the Re- feree, says that recently there has been in Britain an epidemic of cases of burying alive. In London, the matter of fact and utterly unromantic House of Commons has actually had a burying alive case before it, and we have had a Home Secretary gravely reply- ing to a query about a corpse giving three knocks on the inside of its own coffin, and the local coroner has been ordered to look into the matter. Burials alive are far more common in hot countries, where the burial takes place with- in twenty-hours after death, than they are in England, where one gets, as a rule, a week's grace. In Spain the body is fre- quently removed to the undertaker's shop a few hours after death. In one of the largest of these establishments in Madrid, some time ago, an extraordinary sight was witness- ed. A gentleman was brought in his ' cas- ket" one afternoon and placed in the room set apart for that branch of the bus'ness. The proprietor lived over his premises, and on this especial evening was giving a grand ball. When the ball was at its height a gentleman in full evening dress suddenly joined the company. He danced with the wife of the undertaker and he danced with the undertaker's daughter and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. The under- taker thought he knew his face, but didn't like to be rude and ask him his name but by-and-bye all the guests departed and the strange gentleman was the only one left. " shall I send for a cab for you?" said the host at last. " No thank you," replied the gentleman " I'm staying in the house ' "Staying in the house, exclaimed the under taker "who are you," sir " " What, don't you know mo â€" I'm the corpse that was brought in this afternoon." The undertaker, horrified, rushed to the mortuary room and found the coffin empty. His wife t nd daugh- ter had been dancing with a corpse. An explanation, of course followed. The gentle- man, had only been in a trance, had suddenly recovered, and hearing music and revelry above, and having a veiy keen sense of humour, had got out of his coffin {the Span- ish coffin closes with a lid, which is only locked just previous to interment) and joined the festive party. He was qu'te presentable, as in Spain the dead are generally buried in full evening dress. Beclaiming Land in Egypt, A Cairo despatch to the London Standard gays: â€" " I have just returned from a visit to the Aboukir reclamation works, which are now well advanced. As this scheme has always been regarded more or less as a test of the possibility of reclaiming salted lands too much importance cam scarcely be attach- ed to its success or failure. The concession, comprising about 30,000 acres, is the largest that has b«en made of late years, and if the result proves satisfactory similar concessions will probably quickly be given in other dis- tricts. The irrigation canals and drains are already completed over about 12,000 acres, all converging on a point on Aboukir Bay, where two powerful Gwynne engines are discharging foul salt water into the sea at the rate of 240,000 tons every twelve hours, this water holding in solution 8,400 tons of solid salt. In the course of next week the machines will be kept working all the twenty-four hours, when this amount will of course be doubled. The same system will be applied next year to the remaining 18 000 acres, and it is hoped before long to offer the whole as a cultivable surface for the benefit of the town of Alexandria, which possesses scarcely any arable land within a radius of ten miles. The experiment is being watched with the greatest interest both by Alexamdrian speculators and by the authorities of the Departmente of Finance and Public Works."
