Yesterday was a holiday for the school children, it hoing the holi day given by their teachers, which w as spent by most of them in Ash ; mg and other amusements on the river, which was enjoyed by all , who attended.

C0NTAGI0U3 EYE DISEASES. How Tiir.v Am S|II-?-.-??I i?y TOWCIHI Filed Ililli K|l(?(!ttll!lC*Ja To mention a few of the modes nf eon-* tagion, I have to ; .peak, in the I ?rsl placet of towel , cs|>eeially of that abominable institution known ?is tho roller lowe!, which has been used BO much in asylums evhero forty, fifty or more children uso thc same towel. Whether they have grtUl: ular lids or not. True, ir. . great many of these eases the existence of. granular lids was not known; but even in casca iii which the existence of the disenso was evident, the ignorance or carolossnos.! of tho persons in charge has allowed trans mission by mean? of towels lo O?M of tho most frequent sources of contagion. As a carrier of the contagion the housd fly plays nu important role, especially in cases rf young children who are not able to proteel themselvci against thu visits of this little animal. Attracted by tho sweetish oder ? f thc discharge it will sot tie ?I?>D:I Ibo eves of Children affected with th> disenso, especially infant;?, und carry the contagion in its claws to tin other eve or the eyes of sleeping infants. Spectacle.-, maybe tho carrier of tilt: contagion, 1 remember the caso of a young lady who could not explain satis factorily how .she came to hav e granular lids. Upon her return to school she men tioned that .she had granular lids, where* upon one of her classmates said: "Why, that is the disease which I have lieon suf fering from for the last six months." This classmate was near sighted and used glasses. My patient was abo near sighted, but had not us-d glasses, and wh'-nevor she wanted to see anything ?lt a distance she was in the habit of borrowing tho s)HH taeles of her friend, and there is no doubt in my mimi that this was tho means of carrying the poison from tho classmate's ev e to my patient's eye. Children with granular lids are very apt to rub the eyes, because the secre tion, as ii liegins to dry on the edge of the liils, causes an irritating, itching sensation. They will now play with other children, and from their hands transfer the poison to tho hands of tho other chil dren, and these latter rubbing their eyes contract the disease. Handling objects which have lieon used lljf granular lids patients may bo the means of carrying the contagion. A young lady who vol unteered to teach children affected with granular lids, and who had been isolated from other children in a certain institu tion, Was warne I to IK- extremely cari ltd with regard lo using handkerchiefs, towels, or anything which belonged to thc children. She w.-e; well aware of tho danger, and promised to be very careful. She handled nothing whatever, she said, that Munged lo the children, left her doak outside, and in tho eins? room kept away from the children a distance of liva or six foot, lint upon examination of her eyes, fourteen days alter she had taken ellice, it was found that slit} liogan losilf fer with granular lids. Upon impiirv I found thal she had taken copylmoks and slate, of thc children for correction, and in all probability she got the poison from the slates and books on her hands and then conveyed it to her eyes. A teacher of another section in the same institution was moro careful; she simply walked int?? ? the class room, did not touch tiny thing belonging to the children, and for two or three months, during tho duration of Ibis epidemic, she waa not air?ete I bv tile dis ease. Tho atmosphere had evidently not lioen the carrier of the contagion in tho llrst ease.- Mellie; land Surgical Uepoi'ter.
