If this expectoration is carefully destroyed, notes our state board of health, little danger need be feared. Consumptivee should be instruct- ed notto epit upon the floor of rooms, he i public hails, street and railway cars and t | other vehicles, nor in the streets, but into pieces of cloth or receptscles made for the purpore, containing water ora littic fat- unrated solution of carbolic acid (one part of carbolic acid crystals to about 15 parts of water.) Snch bits of cloth should be destroved by fire before the sputa become dry, Yand other receptacles should be cleansed with scalding water, their con- tents having besn destroyed or otherwise carefally disposed of. “That aftention to such simple preven- tive measures as these will materially check the spread of tuberculosis is proved beyond sJ)] peradventure by experienc:, Thus ‘in Glasgow, which has been fighting against consumption systematica'ly and scientifically, there has been a marked fall- ing off in jhe death‘rate per million from phthisis in fiye-year periods. It was 4094 in 1860-64, Ten yearslater it wis 3644. There was a falling off to 3149 in 1880-84, a further “drop” to 2601 in the next five-year period, while the showing for 1890-94 evidenced a stil! further reduction tu 2515. Surely all this increase in pop~ ular knowledge regarding preventives of consumption meant als), as ameatter of course, the driving back, further and further, of one of the most formidable dis- eae foes with which mankind in the temp } erate zones of the world hasto contend. - —— “It is true, of course, thot the state can do much toward preventing contagious spread by remedying defective ventilatiou in factories and workshops,avoiding damp- ness in places of residence, and overcrowds ing. Clearly the cause of public health and the cause of tenement and factory re~ form gotogether. Nevertheless,it is through the roasing of interest in individuals aod the ‘emphasizing, “line upon line and precept upon precep:,” of simple precau-~ tions against the spread of infectious dis- ease that those who are battling back in- sidious tuberculosis must look chiefly for permanent success,” These remarks inso far asthey refer to personal action at least,are as applicable to Charlottetown and Prince Edward Ialand as to Boston and Massaachusette. ~2o+eare O_p Axp WELL Triep Remedy, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup bas been for over fifty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething with perfect succes.

England's Great Expert Says They are not Effective. Lonpon, February 11.—The recent m% f the French aubmarine torped ) ratave Z-de have aroused much in- in English naval circles, and the at UW many experim«cnts of Americans in the | same line make tests of equal importance to the United States navy. A. F. Yarrow, England's famous build- torpedo boats and queer craft of all kinds, is undoubtedly tne best expert on such types, and he does not sharein the ld alarm of Britieh naval men. “From the sensation which 18 being made about it in France,” ead Mr. Yar- row. “one would think it was a new idea, [. is vot. For more than thirty yeare iriale bave be.n made of submarine tor pedo boats. Aud ihe thirty years have heen marked by /ittle progress and con siderable losa of life. Andin this latest attempt by the French the esential objecs tions to the idea st 1] remain. “First of all, these boats are 80 danger- ous that I doubt if competent men will be found willing iv time of peace torisk their ives in the pecessary practice. Many competent constructors could be found ready and willingto build one of these boats, but Iam quite sure not many would venture in it when it was built. ‘These dangers arise to some extent from the fact that the specific gravity of the boat must be either exactly or nearly Dé &pecifie gravity of she water. The reauit is that if an indentation was caused in the skinof the vessel, its specific gravity would, of course, become actualle greater (han that of the water, end ‘ tobe Same aS toe it wonla sink to the bottom. Ancotoer danger, which arises chiefly in shal:ow water, is that the vessel is apt, throrgh the slightest disorder of the steering gear, to get out of the horizontal line. And in that case in less than notime ist might stick its head in the mud. This actually occurred a few years ago at Tilbury, wien Lord Charles Beresford was nearly drowned. Athird danger is that of collision with rocks, fishes, or pieces of wreckage. Ifa large fish in some foreign sea came into coptact with one of these hoas it might, easily take charge of the steering gear. “In my belief they could be of value only again -t the stationary vessels, In the case of a vessel in motion, sufficiently accurate guidiog would ,be impoesible. As far as stationary vessels are concerned submarine ‘torpedo boats which can be guided by elec- tric wires from the shore would prove quite as effective. “With our present knowledge, boats cf ihe French type are both dangerous and ineffective, and, | may add, the more mon~ ey the French spend upon them the better for the rest.” Se A A mirror could not lie if it wanted to. The glass has nothing to gain by flattery. Ifthe rosea of healthand plumpness of beauty are leaving your face, your mirror will tell you so. Health iethe greatest beautifier inthe worid. When a womar sees the indications of ill-health in the face, she may wiih absolute certainty look forthe canses in oneor both of two conditione—constipation and derange- ment of the organs distinctly feminine. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preecription will cure bermanentiy and positively and so- called ‘*female complaint.” Dr. Pierce’s Plearant Pellete will cure constipat.on. There is no reason in the world why a wo~ mas should not be perfectly healthy. She will gain in bealth, etrenghth and flesh Hollows and angles will give place to full- ness and grace. She will be that noblest ant most beautifulofall creation—a per-« fect woman.
