AVABCnO AOTEHTUBB. Gaaees of Erysipelas The causes whioh are usually said to pro- duce erysipelas are both numerous and di- verse. Certain individuals, and even cer- tain families, appear to be more liable to snfiar from the disease than others. What is the cause of tais speciil susceptibility It b impost Ible even to conjecture. Erysipelas ia common in newly-born children, but from the first to the tiventieth year it is by no means common; after this period to the fortieth year it is frequent as an acute di- aease but ia mote advanced age it occurs oblefly as a obrouo .^^ i.« iâ€"iwwtant mal- ady. Gouty people lave been found to raf- fer from it more frequenUy than others. Errors in diet, and especially eating certain indigestible snbatanoea, anch aa ahell-fiah and improperly amoked, aalted, or preaerved meats, are said to act aa exciting causes Violent mental emotions are also accused of being ocsasionally the oauae, and it ia said to have been brought on by anger and ftar. Sometimee no oauae can he assigned for ita ojset, but ita oconrrence Is promoted by all cironmstanoea that tend to debilitate the body â€" by intemperance, by previoua di- sease, by low apirita and anxiety, by insuffi- cient nourishment, and by foul air. Form- erly, when 'ess at^enti- n was paid to cleaull- nfsa and vcnttiation, It was much more common in hospitals and infirmailea than at present. Injuries to the skin, such as abrasions, scratches, wounds, burns, or blisters, wherever they are situated, may be the starting point of the inflammatien. Sometimes even the presence of gout in a particular joint, or the irritatioii caused by dlBfased teeth in either the upper tr lower jaw, may determine the seat of onset. It 's probable that the most common cause of an attack of erysipelas Is ita communication from one person to another. In erysipelas the CO- stituUonal symptoms may precede the local, or redness of the skin nray make Its appearance before the fever commences. The former course is the more common. £zeiche Fecessaiy fox ^ged Persons. M. B:iuchaTdat, Professor of Hygiene at thePitris Faculty of Medicine, protested in strong to terms at a resent lecture against the advice given b some hygj^snlats who re- commend almoat complete rest to the aged. In the following terma: **I proteat agaicat the oft-repeated adage that old age ia the age of reat. Thia aentenoe haa led to a vary great error in hygiene. The regnlwr general exerdae of all the organa of nutrition and of looomotijn ia neoeorary to perfooa of all ages. The gratest attention on this point ia all the mere neceaaaty tliat the ten- dency to reat brings on a gradnal diminution of the strength. If the old man doea not realat, hia atrength will vialbly and pro- greaeively dimiaiui, and the few daya he may have to live may be tranaformed into juat so many honra. In proof tliat regular daily exerdae ia iMncfidal to the aged one haaonly to-obaervetiie resnita in aome of tiw handaomeat old men, who take littie or no reat.

It waa in the depth of an arctic winter, the early daya in January, in fact, and the apirit tiiermometer waa curling up in the bulb trying to keep warm, draggiM In Ita toea under the aoale till they marked 50 and 60 dsgreea below zero. Nearly ail the rein- deer had migrated farther south, so cold waa It, the birds had long since flown, .anol all we saw waa an oocauonal 'gaunt arotio wolf flitting over the barren Mils covered with anew, or a polar hare go running to hia anow-honse over a pile of rocka. When Toolooah dug the ice-well to get freah water aa we camped, I noted that the ice waa six and aeven teet thick, for I liad to allow that much more on the length of my flah line when I dropped It through tiie Ice well^to fish for the salmon that there abound Of such thick ice of course no one could fear for it appears that It needa but an inch and a half to aupport a man, four, inohea to aupport horaemen, five inches to support a field cannon, ten inches to aupport a nultitude aa thick as they can stand, and eighteen Inchea to support a rail- road train six and aeven feet, therefore, should support a mountain. The river we were ascending seemed to t)e a series of long lakes, two or three miles long, joined by shallow connecting streams seldom over a hundred yards in length, and only a few ysirds width, and through the ice the large stones often protruded hidicatiag their depth. I noticed in walldng over the ice of these peris of the river that they gave forth areverberatlngsound,aB If they were hollow, but I paid littie attention to that, thinking they were safe enough. It was in the mid- dle of the afternoon when we were crossing one of these placea, Toolooah and the sledge being a short way ahead of me, when I heard a shivering crash in that direction, as if the whole glass front of a store had been batter- ed in at on j blow. The sledge had broken one runner throngh the thin ice on the rocky portage. Irmh^ toward the place, but before I waa half-way, aa if a glasa trap door had given away underneath, with • jang- liGg of broken ice, one leg went through it, but my foot atmok on a atone underneath, and irom here I aorambled back, and Too- looah motioned me to the ahore,whiohlaonght by the moat direct route. The doga were taken iff the aledge and a long, atrong walrua line "xtended from the protending runner t9.*«J»bore, where the doga were again hitched, ana iy oarw^u, â€" â-  Tiafirf nu soon had it out. It waa net until after we were aafe on the next lake that I learned fr am Toolooah how narrow an eacape we had had. When the firat aevere oold anap of the winter comea, and the lakea and rivera are frozm over, many small springs and water- sources are obliterated, and the rivera and streams f j11 considerably as a oonaequenoe. Over the wide parte of the rivera the ice falls with the water, but In theae ahallow parte the protruding stonea, acting like piUara, hold It up, and there is a thick stratum of air between thin Ice and roaring river be- neath, thick enough to prevent the latter from again freezing. Thus, while we mry have six and seven feet of Ice on. the riva lakes there may not be one third as many inches on these rocky parts, and buoyed up in a most trap like manner to engulf oae in a place where nine aaes out of ten ihe un- fortunate would not escape. I can aee that black rushing torrent sweeping through the great bowlders yet that was revealed as Ipall- d my leg out of the hole in the shell ice, my own foot striking a stone in a most miracu- lous manner. Toolooah blamed himself for being so careless at a place where the Es- quimaux are always so exceeding careful, tmr of the accidents krown few have escap- ed. Ice a couple of in-jhes thick may bear a man if resting on the water, but If buoyed above a roaring rapid like a watch crystal, it is a most dangerous t' ap.

The pumpkin ad oheerf nlly hitched along and made room for tlie tquaah, the turnip, the oanot and the paranip, but it would give op no more ground. The oommittee recommended tliat the oinb onoonrage thegrewth of pnmp- kina by colored people thronghont the United Statea and Canada by offering a cash prize.
