The germ is coughed up by people who have tuberculosis. When this dries it will floatin theair,and soma? bebreathed in by any man, woman,or child. When this germ is breathed in by anyone whose health is not good, whaselungs have been made wea5 by sleeping with head under the bedclothes or by bad air from neglect aay or night, so that they can not resist disease, the germ will live and developand mill produce uiore germs of its own kind in the lungs. This germ growth in the lungs causes the condition we call tuberculosis or consumption. Sunshine will kill this disease germ. Prevation of tl~bcrculosis.-In order to escape taking tubercnlosis, when it is our duty to livenear one who is suffering with it, the following rules should he observed: First. Keep what is coughed up from getting dry and so floating in the air. Second. Obaerve strict cleanliness about the patlent. Third. All that is coughed up must, in order to prevent flies carrying it, be kept covered in a tin cnp or glass jar partly filled with wa'er la sheet of paper n ~ a vhe used for a cover) or in a box of moist earth, ashes, or sa wclust Where a disinfect-antcan beobtainedit must be keptinacuporjar. In anycasethe wholemaasmnst be buried in the earth. so that no particle can dry and he blown about. If the atient is too weak to use a cup, he should use a cloth, which in all cases must be Euried. Wet it in tt disinfectant so that it will not have a chance to dry. Never allow anyone to spit on a stove or on the floor. Fourth. If R consumptive person mnst travel. he should have cloths or a large-necked bottle to spit into. This is the only safety for the public. Fifth. After e Peath all infected artcles. such as rugs, carpets, and bedding, should be washed and disinfected or else destroyed by fire. Sixth. Care should be taken to keep fiies away from all infectioi~sm atter, as they may carry it on their legs to food, which being eaten will carry the germs of disease into the stomach of the eater. Germs of disease float in the air we hreathe, swim in the water we drink, and are in the ground under our feet. They are always ready to lodge and grow wherever they can find a weak spot in our body: that is. wherever thereis a weak cell growth and so little power to resist. A colony of disease germs will develop very qniekly in a weak spot, and they will infect an area about themselves until the whole system is sown with disease germs. Sunshine, cleanliness, and good food not only protect from disesse by increasing the resisting power of tbe body, but may also overcome and drive out diseese already acquired. PRINTING. Not many of the Indian lroys will follow printing as an occupation, but some may, and the training and experiencewill he of great benefitto everyone, whether or not he ultimately uses the skill and knowledge gained as ameans of livelihood. It may be found that sornsof the boyshave a desiraand an aptitudefor thiskind of work, and these should be encouraged to carry out their ambition and beeome skillful workers. and endeavor to obtain a place in some printing office in a neigh-boring town or elsewhere. Beforegoing into the shop the boy must have a fair knowledge of the Edglish branches, particularly of grammar, readmg, and spelling. The pupil will flrst be given some of (he silnplar work of the office. eoch as rcn-ing a small job press. Then will follow lea~ningth e positions of the letters in the case. Then show him how to ho'd a stick in his left hand and pick up the letters |
