FirEwoop AND Powpenr.—They still keep up, in Maine, the pleasant practice of loading sticks of firewood with gunpowder. In this way a great deal of excitement can be created in dul! neighborhoods. The tedium of a long wiater is effectually broken, also some ribs, and occasionally a skull; but anything is better than absolute stagnation. It is always anin teresting question whether the person blown up stole the billet of wood, or wheter he charged one of his own billets and forgot to toss it over into his neighbor's pile.

| Diphtheritic poison, no donbt, goes for miles in the air from one house to another. The wind carries it, and when there is an epidemic the greatest precaution should be taken. With all our care we are not al- ways able to prevent its spread entirely, | but much may be done.

} The Scientific American adds: ‘‘As every | physician knews, it is no uneommon thing | for adults to have diphtheria so mild!y that itis mistaken for an ordinary sore throat a@ pels n can easily infect a child, and the child become acentre of malignant infection. In view of the fatal prevalence of diphtheria, there- fore, the kissing of a child upon the mouth by a person with asore throat is hazard ous, if not criminal, and searcely less so is the practice of allowing children to kiss their ailing playmates. It would be wise to exercise great caution in this matter, if not to disconntenance the practice of kissing upon the mouth altogether.” The best preventions are to be found in the hints given, and in most thorough cleanliness about the house, the air, and the drains, water supply, and cellars.—Dr. Holbrook in
