A Subject of Vital Importance to Commu-
nities—Precautions.
Disease can be divided into various
groups. Of these none, upon the whole,
are so formidable as those termed com-
municable diseases. We use this term
in preference to contagious or infectious,
because these two words have in use de-
parted so far from their original mean-
ing as to convey no correct idea of their
relationship. There is great variety in
the method in which diseases are com-
municable. Some, like hydrophobia in
man and glanders in horses, are con-
veyed only by direct contact with an
abraded surface, which is equivalent to
inoculation. Even our common vaccine
disease can only be induced in this way.
Other diseases which are communicable
require some special and abnormal con-
dition of the particular tissue to which
they will attach. Thus, although the
bacillus of tuberculosis is probably trans-
missible, it is only to those whose lungs
are in a peculiar state of receptivity.
Other diseases, such as the commoner
eruptions, vary exceedingly as to the de-
gree of their communicability.
It is sometimes quite difficult to deter-
mine the extent to which the communi-
cating particle can be carried. It is prob-
able that the air from a smallpox hospital
has given the disease to a person a mile
distant. On the contrary, scarlet fever
has been brought into the ward of a full
but well aired hospital and continued
there a day without a single person con-
tracting the 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 family
of children four miles distant, when the
dress was unfolded in their presence
three months afterward. Whooping
cough and diphtheria are probably never
conveyed by the first case occurring, ex-

To-morrow night Minnie Maddern be-
gins a two nights and Thursday matinee
engagement at the Tremont, opening
with “In Spite of All,” and closing with
“Caprice.” The compaiy is now play-
ing in Houston and the following flat-
trering notice is taken from that dis-
criminating journal, the Post:
“Miss Minnie Maddern and her very
excellent support presented Howard P.
layloi’s charming dramatic picture “Ca-
price” at Pillot’s last night to one of the
most tnoroughly appreciative audiences
that temple of amuse 1 ent has ever held.
Mias Maddern is extensively fascinating
in every rolle she essays. Her talent is
pronounced, and she is rapidly working
her way to the fr®nt rank of her profes-
sion. Particularly pleasing is her clear,
sweet and well modulated voice which
she uses to admirable advantage. In all
probability no actress can equal this f&ir
creature in the natuial and graceful man-
ner with which she showers dainty
prays of laughter, joyous, happy and
delicate as moonbeams, upon the delight-
ed ears of her audience. Miss Maddern
not only possesses great dramatic talent,
out many charms of face and person.
“Caprice” is a light, sparkling play
abounding in witty dialogue and replete
with happy situations. The plot briefly
told, is the marriage of Jack Henderson,
an amateur artist of high social standing
and wealthy parents, with Me cy Baxter,
a wild flower, sweet, tender and divinely
pretty, but untutored and ignorant of the
world. Jack’s parents disown nim for
marrying one so far beneath him in social
position, and Jack finally becomes morti
fied at his wife’s ignorance and employs
harsh expressions in chiding her. She,
almost heartbroken, seeks the shelter of
her father’s home, and subsequently enters
a seminary where her crudities disappear
and she emerges a brilliant and cultured
young lady to spend the holidays with
her schoolmate, Edith Henderson, Jack’s
sister. Thoroughly repentant, Jack
proves his love for the wife who deserted
him, and Mercy mak s known her identi-
ty and a happy reconciliation is effected.
as Mercy Baxter, Miss Maddern leaves
nothing to oe desired. Mr. John Jennings
as Jethro Baxter, Mercy’s father, was one
01 the most masterly pictures of an old
farmer that ever appeared on the stage
at Pillot’s. He shared th* honors with
Miss Maddern. The balance of the sup-
port answered all requirements.”
A standing Invitation.
Lotties are especially invited to bring
their friends to visit our establishment—
it is one of the most complete in the
United States. We have one of the larg-
est piano warerooms in the country, and
it is always full of pianos and organs of
various styles from the factories of dif-
ferent makers. We have an elegant, easy
staircase to warerooms so that anybody
can ascend it with ea-te. A courteous at-
tendent will show the different styles of
pianos and play for visitors.

A Portable Electric Lamp.
While visiting a friend the other even-
ing he invited me to take a Ipok over his
house. To my surprise he picked up an
electric lamp that was standing on the
table and started off up stairs with in
liis hand, the flexible insulating wire
connecting with the lamp trailing along
behind. On investigation I discovered
that he had the wire wound around a
reel and that it was smoothly paying out
as he went along. He also had little
pulleys fastened to the doorways over
which he passed the wire as be turned
the corners. The ianiy) itself was mounted
on a standard like the standard ot un oil
lamp, and the gentleman infornic.i me
that he was in the habit of taking 1, mto
all parts of the house. The device y, :is a
novel one, and it suggests new [iosmI ib
ities for the electric light. Verily the

Of all the orators busy in extolling the
virtues of the political party employing
them, and pointing out wherein the other
parties might be better, Anna Dickinson
is the one most talked about at the present
time. She is the only woman “on the
stump,” excepting Belva Lnckwood, who
seems to be the solitary speaker in her
party, and has the talk all to herself; and
her efforts in Indiana are foil >wed by
remarlsable results, both parties claiming
to profit by them. More years ago than
it would be polite to say, the fair Anna
was a public speaker of triumphant
power. That hev prestige is still emi-
nent appears in the fact of her engage-
ment as an orator by the great Republi
can party.
Anna Elizabeth Dickinson was born
in Philadelphia on the 28th of October,
1842
Owing to her mother’s limited means,
she was educated at the free schools of
the Society of Friends. When about
twelve years of age, she entered Westown
“Boarding School of Friends,” and re-
mained thure two years; thence she went,
to the “Female Select School,” in Phila-
delphia, where she pursued a dozen
branches of study at a time, yet seldom
failed in a recitation. At 14 she pub-
lished an article on slavery in the Libera-
tor. When 17 she left school and began
the hard work ot life. A remark which
she made about this time to the commit-
tee-man of a country school aptly illus-
trates her independent spirit. He had
told her that the position she was about
to All had formerly been occupied by a
man at a salary of $28 a month, but that
1 hey would not pay a girl more than $16.
Something in his manner aroused the re
bellious spirit within her, and she replied
with great vehemence: “Sir! Are you a
fool, or do you take me for one? Though
I am too poor to day to buy a pair of cot
ton gloves, I would rather go in rags than
degrade my womanhood by accepting
anything at your hands.”
After a few eff >1 ts in the line of speech-
making at the meetings of “Progressive
Friends,” she was invited to speak in
Mullica Hall, New Jersey, in April, 1860
She created a profound sensation by the
earnestness of ber manner, the cogency
of ber arguments, her entire forgetful-
ness of self, and she held her audience
spell-bound and seemed to be able to
rouse them to enthusiasm or fill their eyes
with tears at will. Her success was as
sured, and speech after speech followed
m rapid succession, for which she re-
ceived a hundred dollars a night. For
her lecture on the night preceding the
victory of the Republicans in 1860 she
received four hundred dollars. Miss
Dickinson attempted the stage during
recent, years, at pearing in her own and
Shakespearean plays, but her success was
not marked, ^he recovered from a severe
•illness lately, and is speaking with great
physical and mental vigor.
What is said to be the largest railroad
station in the world has recently been
opened at Frankfort-on-the Main. It
covers an area of abou* 100,000 square
feet and cost 33,000,0000 marks.
A Port Huron, Mich., undertaker has
had a large tent made. Whenever he has
a funeral on a rainy day he will place the
tent over the grave so that the services
may be held with but little inconvenience.
Queen Kapiolaui’s gold watch, pre-
sented her by his majesty, the king of
Hawaii, was recently stolen by an adroit
native thief. When recovered the outer

tion, was missing.

fair and a variable sky. The rise or fall
of the mercury causes a thin mica plate
to cover or reveal these pictures, in ac-
cordance with the indications.
Landscape artists have had rather a
hard time of it in England the last sum-
mer, owing to the long period of rainy
weather there. In some instances, it is
reported, they have been seen painting
or sketching in the rain, sitting heroical-
ly under their umbrellas and working
away with diligence, if not with comfort,
Willard Brown, an aged resident of
Chicago, paid Postmaster Riley, of Cin
cinuati, a visit the other day, and told
him how he used to carry the mail from
Cincinnati to Piqua, O , on horseback in
1824. He received $4 a month for his
services. There were only three em-
ployes of the Cincinnati postoffice in those
days.

In general, any one of
class of diseases having be-
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 inception
and the time of greatest risk of conta-
gion, 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 tolhe subject
and have classified a large number of
cases as to the time from the first symp-
tom to the beginning of eruption, the
time from beginning of eruption to cessa-
tion of fever, and the time from the be-
ginning of eruption to when the patient
ceases to be infective. They state the
latter as follows: For smallpox, 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 concerned 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 pers<3n. It is often a question
how far boards of health shall require re-
ports . of contagious diseases. In any
good system of sanitary government such
report is required as to smallpox, 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 re-
port, but that they should be paid there-
for, inasmuch as such report is of special
service, quite different from the certifica-
tion of a death. The habits of different
countries and states differ much, but all
agree that the report should be made by
some one. This is rendered more essen-
tial by recent facts, which show that by
early and strict isolation the common
communicable diseases are often pre-
vented from becoming epidemic.
It is often a question how far attend-
ance at funerals should be prevented in
cases of death from communicable dis-
eases. We know of a recent case in
which the attendance of children at a
church funeral, the death having been
caused by malignant diphtheria, proba-
bly 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, could be carefully regu-
lated, it is probable that the risk would
be very little; but as we cannot 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 dis-
eases.
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 for exposing the young.
With due precaution as to airing gar-
ments, 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 pre-
venting the spread of a class of diseases
which counts so many victims.—New
York Independent.
