Thou, a^ain, a uian afflicted with tuberculosis t-lioukl not be allowed to marry a healthy woman. The same applies equally to a worn an afflicted in the same way, iind still more to man and woman if both of iiieui had the disease. 'I advocate," added tho doctor, "the enactment of statutes by the legislature prohibiting eiich marriages and making parties contracting them criminally liable." Dv. Pott or nest outlined the history of typhoid fever and said that no means had yet been discovered to prevent it frora spreading. The same tbiu^ might also be said of diphtheria. The speaker said that the first necessary step in the prevention of disease was the instruction of medical men, who should acquaint the people with the methods of preventing all diseases and | not inform them how to enre thorn when j they got them. Dr. Potter said that it was possible to prevent the spread of diphtheria by seeing that the throats of persons who were apt to be exposed were protected co that there wonld be no inoculation. < _— — ___ _ — — How to Slake PolisU Pancakes. Beat 8 eggs very light, use I>£ pints of milk, the richer the better, a sprinkle of nutmeg and grated lemon peel . ' and a ealtspoonfuleach of salt and sag- [ ar. Melt 2 ounces of butter, mix it | with the flour, of which you will need 10 ounces, and gradually work in the wholo mixture. Cook in a frying pan with butter, but pour in more than for the English pancakes.

The right sort of a hairbrush used on tho scalp two or three times a day will reruovo every perceptible trace of dandruff. The scalp needs care, and to reach it the hair should be cut with the comb at intervals of extreme proximity. k«o as to bristle every portion of the skin rand brush away the scurf. The metal I woven brush is not to be recommended jjunless the desire is to produce baldness. •What is known in the trade as the barmsev brushes are the best, of which the ■unbleached and undyed hoar's bristle is ■first choice. A black brash conceals the tjirt, and a. dirty brush will not clean mho head. If the bristles are dyed, they ■will have lost some of their firmness, land instead of going through the hair Bbr scraping the scalp they will bend un■tler pressure. A woman's hairbrush ■should have bristles not more than half ftm inch long, unbleached white piefer-B-ed, and stilt enoxigh to scratch but not Krritate the scalp. It should bo hand mewed ; the points should present an irsurfaco to correspond with the Blevations aud depressions of the scalp. Kjuch a brush, wood bound, canuot be Bought for much les3 than $3.

The latter nobly repaid him by ■lorifieing his children to cure Amile bid lej)r.osy by anointing him with Hieir blood, fie had the delight of seeng Amile thus perfectly cured, and also having his children immediately aftmiraculously restored to life.

How to Prepare Game. ileshed birds, like duck and H|oase, should bo served as rare as roast — that is, so that the blood runs they are cut. Birds, with white j^Ksh, like partridge, should be cooked long and as thoroughly as the hen. good rule is to cook canvasback ducks about 20 minutes, teal grouse about 20, doe birds from 19 plover or woodcock 10 and Engsnipe from Bto 10.
