spirit power. A few weeksago he held a
a friend who had been drowned: On the
Che Massachusetts Board of [ealth re-| 20th ult., the night before he retired from
cently issued ‘local authorities throughout the State the necessity of more thorough attempts to control diptheria, They say :—
stances not entirely known very highly so, it is important that all practicable means ‘should be taken to separate the sick from ‘the well, As it is also infectious, woollen \clothes, carpets, curtains, hangings, etc., ‘should be avoided in the sick room, and only such material used as can be readily ‘washed. All clothes, when removed from ‘the patient, should be at once placed in |hot water. Pocket handerchiefs should | be laid aside, and in their stead soft pieces ‘of linen or cotton cloth should be used, jana at once burned. Disinfectants should always be placed in the vessel containing | the expectoration, and may be used some~- | what freely in the sick room, those being | especially useful which destroy bad odors | Without causiug others (nitrate of lead. ‘chloride of zinc, etc.) In schools there | should be especial supervision, as the dis | ease is often so mild in its early stages as ‘not to attract common attention; and no ‘child should be allowed to attend school | from an infected house until allowed to do /30 by a competent physician. In the case of young children all reasonable care should be taken to prevent undue ex- posure to the cold, Pure water for drinks ing should be used, avoiding contaminated sources of supply; ventilation should be insisted on, and local drainage must be carefully attended to. In country towns, privies and cesspools should be frequently emptied and disinfected ; slop water should not be allowed to soak into the surs face of the ground near dwelling houses, and the cellars should be kept dry and sweet, In cities, especially in tidal dis- tricts, basins, baths, etc., as now connected with drains, should never communicate directly with sleeping apartments.
In all cases of diptheria, fuily as great care should be taken in disinfecting the sick room, after use, a5 in scarlet tever. Aiter a death from diptheria, the clothing disueed shoaid be burned or exposed to nearly or quite a heat of boiling water; the body should be placed as soon as prac- ticable in the coffiin with disinfectants, and the coffin should be tightly closed. Children, at least, and better adults also in most cases, should not attend a funeral from a house in which a death from dip theria has occurred, But with suitable precautions it is not necessary that the funeral should be private, provided the corpse be not in any way exposed.
In the opinion of the Board, the fre. quent visitation of this disease, and especially its continued prevalence, my be taken as sufficient evidence of unsani- tary surroundings, and of sources of sicks ness to a certain extent preventable.
The extracts quoted above, apply with as much force to many localities in the Maritime Provinces as they do to the stat® of Massachusetts.

SPIRI7 UA é ISM.
A brief announcement was made _ in the papers a few days ago that the Rev. John Marples, a prominent Presbyterian Minis« ter of Toronto, had retired from the Church and become a_ spiritualist. Of course, this unexpected event has caused a great sensation’ Mr. Marples hws been a leading clergyman in hischurch, With» in the last few years he met in public de- bate a Mr, Underwood, a Free Thought lecturer from Boston, and his friends were sO Well pleased with his success in the dis- cussions that they made him the recipient of sundry valuable presents, Mr. Maur. ples has since altered his convictions, hows ever. Addressing a crowded meeting in Albert Hall, Toronto, on an evening last week, and referring to the subject of his conversion,
lle said that twenty years ago when a student at Edinburgh he directed his at» tention to Spiritualism, seeking to over- throw it, and after witnessing many sean- ces came to the conclusion that it was based on fraud and trickery. Eighteen months ago he took the subject up again, and discovered that tnere Was in nature an elemet and power somewhat akia to elec, tricity, which for the want of a better name he called the Spirit of Matter. [i was the connecting link between the physi cal nature and the soul. That this ele« ment was known to the men of old he tirmly believed, indeed that it was des- cribed by Job, 4th chapter, 12th to 17th verse, and it was doubtiess through it that the Witch of Endor called up betore Saul the spirit of Samuel. The appearance of Christ to the disciples after the cruci» fixion, as related by St. Luke, 34th chapter, 36th to 40.h verses, was also, he thinks, due to the exercise by the Saviour of this wonderful power. He summned up spiritualism in this way: ‘* This spirit of matter is the medium through which the soul or Mind Operates in the human body, apd when through death or debility it imparied, it flies off into spirit world. It is the quintessence of soul.’ He had late iy witnessed some amazing exhibitions of
4
a circular. urging upon the the WVresbyterian Church, he conversed
| With the spirit of the Rey. Dr. Burns at | one time the leading Presbyterian a | of Western Canada. ‘The spirit approached | him, and, after carefully feeling bis head,
» . : . le a 7 . . ar >} & 2 ‘In the first place, as diptheria is a con- | “* Hiimed that he [Mr. Marples) must be
tagious disease, and under certain cireum- | Y-
He then asked the spirit what it thought of Spiritualism and how it came to be there. Dr, Burns replied, in his na- tural voice, thatas a matter of fact he did not know that he was dead, although he heard so. Atall events he was sure he was not in heaven—and this convinced Mr. Marples of the existence of a Hades, or intermediate place of spirits. At the same seance the spirit of Rober! buchanan, the celebrated Scottish divine, appeared and told him to go on with his work of breaking down the superstitions of ortho- doxy. ‘This spirt also said that spirits dif- fered from mortals only in that they had put off the material body, but that they were nevertheless subject to the same weskness as when on earth, hence the of- ten contradictory and even grossly false statements of some spirits. Mr. Buchan- an said also that the reason why the spirits were more communicative in the dark than in the light was because darkness was es~ sential to their economy, just as it was ne cessary to cause a grain of wheat to sprout, and for all the other works of nature.
Mr. Marples, we are told, ‘‘ concluded by prophesying that Spiritualism would yet overcome the mythical religions now in vogue, and promises to consult Mr. Buch anh On the subject of the creation, the crucifixion and the Day of Judgement.
