HEALTH. Disease: Not Due to Microbes- The microbic origin of infectious diseases was one of'the greatest discoveries in medi- cal history. It has largely revolutionized medical science. There was a further advance when it was . proved that the harm done by the microbes was not direct, but due to a violent poison they produced, somewhat analogous to the our tissues; and these areinnocuons so long as they are duly carried out of the system by the eliminating organs. It was at ï¬rst thought that the discovery would cause a' revolution in medical prac- tlge, and enable physicians to cure patients With medicines which would destroy the parasitic microbes. \Vhat may be done in this direction is still among the problems of the future. The. chief advantages of the discovery are that it emphasizes the supreme importance of general sanitation, and that it may lead to extending the principle of vaccination to ~ most infectious diseases. But according to Doctor Trouessart, of Paris,â€â€"w_e quote from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal,â€" we are in danger of carrying the microbe pathogeny too far, and of overlooking the part that belongs to the organism. . He afï¬rms that it will always be imposv bible to explain all pathology by microbes, and emphasizes the fact that the functions of the living cells themselves may he per- verted or destroyed by other agents than micro-organisms. When the functions of cells are perverted, the excesses of secreted or excreted matter become real poisons, similar in their efl‘ecfs to those produced by microbes. The fact is the cells of the- tissues have an organization and properties similar to those of the microbe, and when their functions are diseased become veritable parasites, which the organism hastens to eliminate by the well-known process of inflammation. All poisons, whatever their origin, must be eliminated by the kidneys, the intestine or. the skin. The fact that the cells and microbes are so similar in constitution and properties indicates that it is unsafe to ad- minister remedies that would be effective against the microbes. ‘ Pastor Kneipp’s Water-Oute- Pastor Kneipp, the famous water doctor from \Vorrishofen, in Bavaria, the modern place of pilgrimage of the water enthusiasts of all countries, is now in Berlin, lecturing to his followers on the wonderful effect of his water-cures. Says a Berlin letter to the London Daily News : Nearly two thou- sand persons assembled to hear from Father ‘Kneipp’s own lips the mysteries of his sys- tem. Pastor Kneipp makes a very sym- pathetic impression. His long black cassock covers a medium-sized strong body, on which rests an energetic head. Although his hair is rather gray his bushy eyebrows are deep black. From the way he holds himself and his lively movements, nobody would take Pastor Kneipp to be 72 years of age. He is a wandering advertisement for his doctrine, to which, as he says, he owes his life and strength, and which he has lived up to since 1842. He said that what could not be cured with water was altogether incurable. Water was the panacea for all these evils. A good remedy must be everywhere easily available, especially to the poor. It mustl be able to be borne, and suited to the differ- ent complaints. Herr Kneipp comes to the conclusion that hydropathy, and especially his method, unites all these advantages. He insisted that he was not a medical man. He had never read a medical work. He himself had been given up as incurable forty-seven years ago. He had cured him- self with water, and his love for his neigh- bor had led him to apply the same cure to his fellow men. And good results had proved that his method was the only right one. Finally, Pastor Kniepp pleaded for the use of simple food and clothes, as these things, combined with the use of water, would produce a healthy human race. For Pastor Kneipphydropathy is the alone saving principle which can be applied everywhere. As one wants nothing but a bath, a water- ing can, two rough towels, and water, one can apply it at home and in the hospital. It costs not ing and needs no ï¬ne building. “In my old wash-house,†he said, “I re- cently treated a minister and a. general from Munich, and both would rather remain in the old washhouse than in the" new bath- house.†Tomatoes and Cancer- One of the delusions that is prevalent in many parts of the country is that tomatoes are the direct causes of cancer, and that those who eat them are pretty sure to run the risk of developing cancerous growth at- sometime. So ï¬xed is this delusion in parts of the country that people will not touch this most healthful of vegetables. The fact is there is no connection at all between eating tomatoes and cancers. Those who eat plenty of tomatoes are now .more apt to outlive those who do not, for the vegetable has adirect and beneï¬cial action upon the stomach and kidneys. They should be eaten whenever possible. Re- cently it was announced that the London Cancer hospital had forbidden all patients in it from eating tomatoes, as they were a predisposing cause to cancer. In response to numerous inquiries if there was any foundation to the rumor the chairman of the hospital committee, Dr. Mardden, unâ€" iiounced officially that “ tomatoes neither predispose to nor excite cancer formation, and that they are not injurious to those sufl'ering from the disease, but on the con- trary are a wholesome article of diet par- ticularly so if cooked.†This should be sufficient to dispel the illusion in this country too. Liberal Use of Butter. No dietetic reform would be more con- ducive to improve health among children, and especially to the prevention of tuber- culosis,than an increase in the consumption of butter, says an exchange. Our children are trained to take butter with great re- straint, and are told that it is greedy and extravagant to eat- much of it. If is re- garded as a luxury, and as giving a relish to bread rather than in itself a most im- portant- article of food. Even to private families ’of thetwealthier classes these rules prevail at table, and at schools, and at public boarding establishments they receive . strong reinforcements from economical mo- fives. served out to those who would gladly con- ' poisons normally thrown olf' by the cells of I limit be the power of digestion and the Minute allowances of butter are sume the ire! the quantity. \Vhere the house income makes this a mat-tor of neces- sity there is little more to be said than that it is often a costly economy. Enfeehled health may easily entail afar heavier ex- pense than a more liberal breakfast would have done. Cod liver oil costs more than butter, and it is, besides,often not resorted to until too late. Instead of restricting a child’s con- sumption of butter, encourage it. Let the tendency to biliousness. Most children may he allowed to follow their own inclina- tions and will not take more than is good for them. The butter shouldtvbe of the best and taken cold. Bread, dry toast, biscuits, potatoes and rice are good vehicles. Chil- dren well supplied with butter feel the cold less than others and resist the influenza better. They do not “catch cold†so easily. In speaking of children, I by no means in- tend to middle other ages, especially young adults. Grown-up persons, however, take other animal fats more freely than most children do, and are, besides, allowed much freer selection as to both quality and quantity. It is not so necessary to raise any clamor for reform on their account. Look to The Diet- Thc choleraincreases in Russia and else where as the weather grows warmer, and we must be prepared for it in this country as the hot season approaches. We must look to our diet as never before, for in the face of every dread disease we must consider as all important the diet, sponging, the bath and similar hygienicmeasures. One of the truest things about medicine to-day is that we have less medication and more of proper diet and surroundings. Put the patient in the most favorable condition to resist disease and it is better than taking drugs. The truly scientiï¬c advances of medicine are based upon this. comes in vogue as a fad or fashion, but diet and sanitary surroundings are always the same. Science has stamped out of existence by hygiene the dreaded plagues that dev- astated vast populations, and cholera and yellow fever are prevented. from sweeping ' across the country by quarantine, sanitary surroundings and proper diet. Small-pox no longer spreads its contagion from one community to another because vaccination has been used as a shield to stop it. Puerperal fever that formerly threatened the life and happiness of so many thousands of homes, is now prevented by its great enemy, asepis. Cholera must be fenced in by quarantine, but everyone can help to place himself in a favorable condition by looking well to the diet. Nourishing diet is essential,'and this mustnot be neglected for any mixture that may tempt the palate more. If our bodies are nourished well they can resist disease better. A. S. ATKINSON, M. D.

It has just come to light that among the unfortunates who went to a~watery grave on the ill-fated \Vhite Star freighter Nar- onic, which has iiever been heard from since she sailed from Liverpool three months ugé, were several criminals and jail-birds. Some were convicts who had broken jail. It is a common practice among criminals who want to keep out of reach of the police to sail on freight steamers or cattle boats plying be- tween New York and foreign ports. They go under assumed names and no one knows them. They make a few trips until they believe it safe to venture ashore when the ofï¬cers of the law have ceased all efforts to find them. ‘ - i i “'nEN TIIE NARONIC LEFT LIVERPOOL on February 11 there were aboard of her at least four well-known criminals. Besides these, if is now learned that a dozen or more of men who used to hang around the cattle yards in New York, were lost on the Nar- tonic. 7 On the morning of July 8, last year, nine convicts made their escape from Massachu- setts State Prison at Charlestown in a more daring manner. The attempt had been planned for months before the opportunity came to carry it out. The ring-leaders were James M. Bradley, alias “ \Valter Mait- land,†and “ Williams,†one of the most desperate criminals in the land. The men dug through the prison floor to a sewer which drained the prison. They were led by Bradley, who was armed with two revol- vers. The sewer was half full of,water,but the convicts swam a distance of 1,500 ' feet to the mouth of the sewer, which opened into a railroad freight yard. There they broke into ashed, stole all the cloth 3 and, overalls belonging to theswitchmen and railroad employees and made good their escape. Some of the men were subsequent- ly recaptured, but it is known that at least three out of the nine who-"beat their way out of the Charleston prison met their fate on‘ board the ill-fated Nai‘onic.

At the time of his ï¬rst escape last July he was serv~ ing a ï¬ve years’ sentence for burglarizing a safe in a jewelry store in Boston.

For the past week or so the papers have had much to say about the beautiful decor- ation of the new Cunard steamship, the Campania. The following letter from Eng- land will give added interest to the details. It is not perhaps known in America that the magniï¬cent new Cunarder which ar- rived in New York on Saturday on her maiden voyage, having made the fastest initial trip on record, was entirely uphol- stered, decorated and ï¬tted up by a woman ; and yet such is the case. Miss Charlotte Robinson, decorator to the Queenâ€"the ï¬rst busxness woman to receive recognition from Her Majestyâ€"holds a foremost place in her line to-(lay, which was won by no “fair ï¬eld or favor,†but by determin a- tion, capacity and perseverance, added to true artistic instincts, and a natural and highly cultivated gift of design. It is now eight years since a bright, am- bitious, self-conï¬dent girl, equipped with an excellent education, found herself con- fronted with the problem of earnir-g her own living, or, as she- says, “ sitting idle» living on a little,†She had received a thorough training in art, design and modeling. \Vith characteristic indepen- dence she at once determined to strike out in a new direction, scorning the well-worn way of governess or “companion.†In spite of the ominous shakings of head and warnings from her famil I: and friends she rented some rooms in her native city of Manchester, at £200, or $1,000 a year. She stocked them with artistic furniture. Some laughed at her “ fad,†others held up their hands in horror at her for 'not hiding her identity, but boldly putting her name on her door, and she was reproached by all for the “ degradation of serving in her own shop.†There ensued many days of trial and diSCouragement ; when no sales were made, when stock accumulated and became “ out of date †on her hands, and when crafty dealers turned her inexperience to their own advantage; and when theintrepid, and, as yet, not hopeless young dealer was everywhere greeted by her pessimistic friends With that most exasperating form- ula : “ I told you so.†Finally afew orders came in, and were ï¬lled with such originali- ty and boldness of design, artistic work- manship and thoroughness in execution, that gradually they multiplied, and many who had scoffed at this new and “ unfemi- nine departure †came to entreat Miss Robinson’s advice and assistance in the dec- oration of thelr homes. \Vith the Manchester exhibition came Miss Robinson’s chance ; her stand of fur- niture and ï¬ttings, many of which were altogether novel, and had been made from her own graceful design, proved one of the most attractive in the building and drew the attention of royalty, with the result that the appointment of “ Decorator to the Queen†was conferred upon her. Miss Rob- inson’s success was now assured, and her influence on the English standard of taste in the interior decoration became extended by her acceptanc‘e‘of the post of adviser in such matters to the readers of I the London Quecn,and by the opening of, a branch of her business at 20 Brook street, London, and between which dainty depot of what might truly be called decorative “confections†and her establishment in Manchester, Miss Robinson divides her . week. _. Miss Robinson does not conï¬ne herself merely to furnishing the abodes of the newly-married or replacing the common- place with the artistic in English homes. She revels in mammoth orders,such as ï¬t- ting up hotels, theatres, etc.,=§'and now her latest achievement is the slipeiiintending of all the interior fitting and decorations of the Campania, the largest and ï¬nest ship afloat. “It was such fun,†she says, in her bright way, “ to lay my plans before the grave and reverend directors of the Cunard Company, before whom I was the ï¬rst wom- an arlist who had "ever appeared.†Their surprise was overcome by their admiration for the beauty and originality of her scheme of decoration, which they heartily approv- ed.

ICELAND AND ITS PEOPLE. The Country That is Almost Devoid of Com fort. Iceland is little better than a desert. The peculiar configuration renders intercourse difficult and,;ulon‘,' with the barrenness of the soil, makes the conditions of existence extremely hard. People with so little to make life attractive might be pardoned if they were to‘sink into’ a stolid indifference to everything but the struggle to keep alive. The size of leeland is greater than that of Ireland, and the population numbers 70,- 000 souls ; but the only inhabitable portion is a narrow strip of pasture land extend- ing like a girdle round the coast and up the deep, narrow ï¬ords. The interior of the country is a howling waste of sand and ice, traversed by darting glacial rivers, and utterly incapable of sup- porting more than a few scattered inhabi- tants. Grass is the only considerable crop. The hills and valleys are treeless and afford at best but a scanty pasturage for horses, cows and sheep. Roads and bridges scarce- ly exist. has a wheeled carriage, but in the interior such a conveyance is unknown and would be useless if known. . The backs of horses are the only means of transportation across country. Small boats carry travelers over danger- ous rivers, whilethc horses swim on ahead. Hardly anything that ministers to comfort, to say nothing of luxury, is produced in Iceland. Every nail in an Icelandic house, every ppne of glass, every bit of wooden flooring,';every insigniï¬cant bit of furniture, has to be transported laboriously from one of the seaports to its destination. That the Icelanders are poor goes without saying. There is little or no home market, for every Icelander has the same products to sell as his neighbors. The circulation of money is, therefore, verybmall. If a farmer has direct dealings with the agents for foreign markets and is sufï¬ciently prosper- ous to have a little surplus each year he may handle a little money, but in general the trading at the seaports is literally trading. An Icelander batters a. certain number of horses or. shecpor rolls of dried ï¬sh or bales of bay for a supply of groceries and other necessaries of life. i __.._._.___4..______~ His First Experience.
