How Co-operation of Citizens Saved = Lon- don Parish From Cholera. ° On the occasion of the visitation of the city Years ago various meetings of clergy of the Church of England were eonvened in that city to hear suggestions and instructions from well- known sanitary authorities ag to the help the clergy might give in aiding the taking of pre- cautions to keep out the cholera, or at least to | keep its ravages within some possible bounds in | their respective parishes. At one of these meetings a young clergyman was present who wat mneh impressed: with | what he heard. Going back to his own parish in | South London, with a population of 6,000, mostly poor and aitogether of the mechanic | class, he called some of his workers together | that night and formed them into a committee of visitation. He pointed out how important it was to remember the old adage which says | “It is better to lock the stable door before the steed is stoien,” and therefore it was better to | prevent the arrival of the eholera than to abate its progress. As municipal authorities were sure to move slowly it would be better to take some steps immediately, and he proposed the next day that a visitation should be made to the house of everybody who could contribute @ small sum toward the expense of a ranitary committee, which should make a visitation of the witole parish in the interest of sanitation. The proposal was eagerly taken up and by the next evening a considerable sum of money had been raised in «mall amounts for the pur- poze, of the sanitary committee. The whole arish was divided into small districts. Every jouse was visited. the people were told friends authority of police or inspectors to endeavor to! prevent the spread of cholera in their midst, and asked that they might be allowed to visit | closets, privies, ash heapg,collections of garbage. | &c., and remove the ame, whitewashing ali | outbuildings and using carbolic acid and other disinfectants, Without a single exception every one allowed the work to be done even in the very roughest districts. Quantities of disin- fectants were kept at the parish bnilding, where any one coald obtain x supply, & ders for chole mixtures were widely distributed. Each drag | store was authorized to supply gratis such | medicines to a parishioner even without an order. ‘The cost of the whole work was about @ The people were drawn closer together in bonds of friendliness and self help, and long before the municipal authorities had their appliances realy for commencemert the work in this parish was done.

Tothe Fditoro! The Evening Star: I see it stated in Tue Stan that it is not | probable that the Commissioners will pay the | vervice fifty ceuts per ton for treating the gar- bage in the city, instend of taking it outside of the District, ay provided for by the contract, Wall. I rhould hope not, in view of these two facts, first, that ancther company has offered | to treat it for noiking and, second, that treat- | ing it here will eave the company the cost of taking it outside of the District. How muei it costs them to take it away I do not know, but according to the testimony of | the nominal coniractor, Mr. Clark, betore the Sena.c committe, the Commissioners through the health office last summer paid #20 per @ay for this service; and, as Mr. Clagk further testifies, he subsequently took the cofiuract for per day At the former rate, omitting Sundays, it would amount to $6.260 a year, or at #12.50 per | day, it would be £4,012 But whatever the rate paid by the contractors it amounts to sev- eral thousand dollars per annum if they carry out the contract, and I should like to have any one expiain why or on what theory the com- pany should be paid $7,500 out of the Disirict Tevennes, as is authorized by the present Dis- trict bill. for being relieved of that amount? ‘The citizens gain nothing by it. It would simply be making a present to the company of $7,500, plus the cost of transporting it down the river, out of the District revenues, and I should think the Commissioners would hesitate some time before doing that. Another reason why they should not be paid for treating the garbage here ia that it would not only relieve them of the cost of transpor- tation, but is of itself a profitable operation. . Mr. Clerk testified that it was profitable, #0 much so that the company were to transfer to huim 23 per cent of the stock. Besides, if not profitable, why would the Simonin Company offer to treat it for nothing, and beg the privil- ege? ‘The fact is there are many methods of treat- ing garbage and rendering it profitable about which the general public know nothing. There is no question in my mind—and I have investigated the subject somewhat—that the garbage of the District, if treated by the best methods, can not only’ be made to pay « large profit, but if properly managedcan be made to pay a part, Tenct the entire cost, of gathering it. .

To the Editor of The Evenme Star: ‘As the weather begins to get warmer the “garbage question” comes up sharply to our attention, The writer submits sugzestions, sompwhat in detail, which if fairly followed will sensibly lessen the amount of garbage and render easier the taxk of its collection. ‘The disposition of garbage or refuse is one of the most important in acity, and is a matter deserving of and demamding not only the care and attention of the authorities, but also of the individual. Each person is interested, and | that directly, in having all refuse speedily and | fficaciously disposed of. In so far as the resolution of this question lies with the individual householder by him it should be promptly and faithfully assumed. The prompt and distinct destruction of bis | share of the refuse of a city is within the power of nearly every housekeeper, the excep- tions being but few. In the first place the caterer for the family should see that as little as possible that is con- verted into refuse should be brought into the house. ‘This tends to minimize the amount of refuse to be disposed of. In making pur- chases the articles should be deprived of all matter not essential to their integrity as articles of household use. Fish should uot only be properly cleaned, but also where they are not to be used at an ornamental meal they shouid be deprived of their heads and tails. Fowla should be thorougily drawn and have their heads and feet removed. Surplus bone, trimmings, &c., should be cut from meats. Of vegetables, the tops, such as those of | beets, radishes, turnips, &c., should be pulled | off. ‘Outside leaves of cabbage, lettuce, & should be stripped. A littie care and experience in this rega: would soon show a marked decrease in th amount of refuse in the family cuisine. Within tie house all liquid refuse, such as | stale coffee and tea. water m which vegetables, &c., are washed, and all dish water should be ured in the sewer, whither should go all | iquids from any semi-solid or soft refuse. ‘This leaves the disposition of the insoluble refuse, and this should be burned in the family cooking stove or range. One emphatic caution in advance. ‘The in- soluble refuse must not be allowed to accu- muiate and then the nauseous mass be dumped into the fire. This would not only cause it to | emit disagreeable o-lora, bat also dampens the | fire and the zeal of the housekeeper. When | refuse accummlates it is sure to ferment. And this fermented mass, soggy, wet and c@mpact, thrown upon the fire will’ not barn, but will cake and will cook, throwing off ite noivome odors and dampening the fire. But the refuse The refuse is then fresh, staall quan titi but readily b: rm, loose and in 8.50 that the fire 18 not subdued, t. OF course, even though | thus put into the fire the experieuce of the | cook will indicate that some at.cution is to be paid to the siate of the fire and the demands upon i ug. If the fire be low or the | oven in use there should bea delay until the | conditions are favorable for rapid burning | erence with the proper use | But u iy i short delay. Experience would soon show just when the refuse stou!d be put into the fire. ‘Vea leaves from which the liquid has been drawn may be put upon any kind of a fire. | scraps of brea es and potato | Inth potato peelings are excellent | to keep the tire box clear of clinker pay their burning. For pea hulls,cabbase leaves, lettuce leaves, corn shucks, picces of tomatoes, | and generally any refuse which is vere gce or moist, have a good fire to burn any ref as it gousumes quicker and more frecly than & low But it may be urged that it is not every fam- ily that has suficieut fire to burn refuse, and cuiarly in summer, when its rapid re- | moval is most especially desirabie, ‘This is un- Bat such families are very few. And whatever may be their number, if those families who have ths facility for buru- ing the refuee would do so, it wonld very ma- terinliy affect the question of the disposal of refuse aud improve the sanitation of the cit; ‘An earnest and careful trial o! this plan would 0 soon demonsirute iis wutisfuctory character that housekeepers would very soon giadly pursue it. Butit witl take come little persistence and carefal attention by the housekeeper. Coo’ will not at first desire it. They will prefer throw the refuse in the garbage barrel. They will not be willing to take the trouble and care of draining the liquid matter from the solid and putting the latter into the fire, as the latter is adapted to it. They will complain ills the fire.” But let the housekeeper in this most cleanly and healthful way of dis- posing of refuse. Soon the cook herself will refer it, She will have a clean, sweet-smelling itchen and area, and will not bother whether the garbage man comes or not. In one family in this city for eight years this method has been adopted, and the cook, who has been with them five years, would not have any other way. course there will be some few things which cannot de burned, such as watermelon rinds but such thirfgs are so few that they may be re- moved by the collector, and any slight delay in that removal would not much affect the ques- ton of health. The general rules are these: 1. Bring into the house as little as possible things which must become refuse. 2. Drain ail liquid refuse into the sewer. 4. Burn ail solid or insoluble matter in the stove or range. 4. Put into the fire the refuse as it and as the fire is in condition to recei 5. Do not let the refuse accumulate and then burn it. W.

Our four children have just suffered from « diphtheretic affection of @ mild form, which the cereful physician felt compelled to report as diphtheria; in consequence he dreaded bine card was put up and we have been sbunned as A veritable pest house tince. Now we do not complain of this, not even that a young girl in the house, perfectly well herseif, has been ban- ished from school and ostracised in every way, although she has not been car the sick ones and conid not possibly carry contagion. We are willing to endure these eviis for the sake of public welfare, knowing that in ali these | affections there is danger of contagion; but we do protest against Leing at the mercy of every neighbor who chooses to consider himself an additional health officer. The writer would not go back tothe days when cases of diphtheria of the worst malignant iwpe were not iroiated and public funerals were allowed, no matter how con:agious the disease, but surely there shouid bea line drawn be- tween the milder forms of this disease and the malignant type. Could not the physician have the privilegb of reporting the milder forms as wach and they be treated accordinsiy? ‘There seems a little inconsistency in compel- ling bedding. &c., to be steamed or burned after these mild diphtheretic attacks, when the only contegious purt (the discharge from ti nose and throat) is so slight as to be ew burned before drying, and allowing room and bedding of typhoid fever patients to remain unmolesied should they ¢o desire, and, strange asit may scem, some do. Yet they are often foremost in hounding the unfortunate victims of scarlet fever and diphtheria, Couid not this excellent law be divested of some unnecessary rigor? For those worst forms of these dread diseases is there not some ebarity among ihe panic: stricken public for the agonized paren uo see their dariings stricken and kuow that if their heaith and strength fail no ocher will min- ister to the helpless ones? ‘The servant girl is usually the first to fies and no washer woman can be hid for love or money. In onr case the milk eupply was cut off ata, critical tin for the littie sufferers, because the woman wus afraid to deliver it at the door or Lave us end to her. Our strength did’ not failand we are nob Pleading for ourselves, but there is always this suil:ring minority, who’ while they must be sacrificed for the public welfare and submit withot murmur in most cases, yet find their burdens almost too heavy to bear. Suflerers from contagious diseases must pay exorbitant prices for nurses it baply such may be found, Instead of adding to this could not something be done to satisty th woman who needs the wage for washing that the disinfected clothing is not a source of danger? Could not healthy adults be assure: that they mighteven minisier to. the w the sick and incur very little danger to them- selves or the dear public we all love so well? Cito.
