Cholera Not Stopped by Quarantine
Nor Cordon * .
[ New York Herald. ]
In reply to an inquiry , Hiss'Floronct
Nightingale , the Crimean heroine , kindlj
sends to The New Herald :
! Mr : I beg to reply to your note ask
ing for "practical advice in view of the
rapid spread of cholera. " That oui
whole experience in India , where choleni
is never wholly absent , tends to prove-
nay , actually does prove that cholera
is not communicable from person tc
pei > on. That the disease cannot bt
ascribed to "somebody else , " that is ,
| that the sick do not manufacture ; i
"special poi.son" which causes the
disease. That cholera is a local disease
an epidemic affecting localities , and
there depending on pollution of earth ,
air , and water and buildings.
That the isolation of the sick can not
stop the disease , nor quarantine , nor cor
dons , nor the like. These , indeed , may
tend fatally to aggravate the disease , di
rectly and indirectly , by turning away
our utte.ntion from the only measures
which can stop it. That the only pre
ventive is to put the earth , air , and
water , and buildings into a healthy state
by scavenging , limewashing , and every
kind of scavenger work , and , if cholera
does comes , UMIO\V the people from the
places where the disease has broken out
and then to cleanse.
Persons about cholera patients do not
"catch" the disease from the sick any
more .than cases of poisoning "infect"
others. If a number of persons have
been poisoned , say by arsenic put by
mistake into food , it is because they
have each'swallowed the arsenic. It is
not because they have taken "it , " the
"mysterious influence , " of one another
. In looking sadly at Egypt Egypt ,
where cholera did not begin anywhere
along the route from India to Europe ,
but at Damietta , where no ship and no
passenger over stops , and where tiio
dreadful insanitary condition of the
place , fully accounts for any outbreak of
cholera in sorrowfully looking at Egypt
and at Europe now , one might almost
say that it is this doctrine of a special
poison , emanating from the sick , and
which it is thought can be carried in a
package that has ( mentally ; "poisoned"
us. People will soon believe that you
can , take cholera by taking a railway
ticket. They speak as if the only reason
against enforcing quarantine were , not
that it is an impossibility and an ab
surdity to stop disease in this way , but
that it is impossidle to enforce quaran
tine. "If only Ave could , " they say , "all
would be well. "
Vigorously enforce sanitary meas
ures , but with judgment e. g. , scav
enge , scavenge , scavenge ; wash , cleanse
and limewash ; remove all putrid human
refuse from privies and cesspits and
cesspools and dustbins ; look to stables
and cowsheds and pigsties ; look to com
mon lodging-houses and crowded places ;
dirty houses and yards. "Set your
house in order" in all ways sanitary and
h \gienie , according to the conditions of
the place , and "all will be well. "
lie ! real danger to be feared is in
l/k.iiing : somebody else and not OIK- own
. Ivis ior such an epidemic visitation.
As a matter of fact , if the disease at
tacks our neighbors wo ourselves arc al-
ivjidy liable to it. To trust for protec
tion to stopping intercourse would be
jtibt as rational as to try to sweep back
an incoming ilood instead of getting out
of its way.
"With the most earnest wish that
America , as well as England , may "set
her house in order , " and so defy chol
era and turn its appearance elsewhere
into a blessing , pray , believe me , ever
her and your faithful servant.
Chief Justice Cockburu 011

[ Notes and Queries. ]
Amongst English judges and barris
ters there has always been a strong
prejudice against wearing hair on the
face , and until within the last few years
it would have been impossible to find a
barrister with a mustache , and , I be
lieve , no English judge for some cen
turies has adopted this natural hirsute
appendage. No doubt this custom
is a survival of the days when "the
priest all shaven and shorn" was the
principal lawyer. Ve know the coif of
the sergeants-at-law was designed to
hide the tonsure.
As an illustration of the judicial dis
like to mustaches , the following obser
vations , which I heard at the Sussex
assizes about six or seven years since ,
when they were held at Brighton , may
be of interest. Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn said to a witness : "Witness ,
in consequence of your having a mus
tache , I cannot hear distinctly what you
say. 1 don't mean to say that you
should wit it off , if you think it an
ornament ; but it prevents me from/
hearing you , and you must , therefore ,
speak moru loudly. " It is somewhat
singular than the use of the wig is now
bomir.ed to the judges and the bar ,
having b.rn abandoned by the rest of
society ; poasibly , therefore , the artilicial
use of hair on the top of the head may
be considered to make up for the re
moval of the natural hair from the face.
Ilroko Her Pipe.
[ Atlanta Constitution. ]
"I wanchcr to be pow'ful 'tickler wid
lit pipe , " warned Aunt Gincy to Uncle
3ykes , as the latter picked up her clay
pipe and limped around the house to his
Favorite scat against the chimney.
He had been gone only a few moments
ivhen Aunt Gincy heard a terrible rumb-
.ing on the outside , followed by a uegio
ivomau running in. and crying mourn
folly :
" 0 , Aunt Gincy , do dumbly done fall
in' kill ole Uncle Sykes ! " r -
With pain distorted countenance , and
error blended in her gaze , Aunt Gincy
ooked passionately up , and moaned :
' 'Dar. now , bress de Lawd ! qn * 1 bets
i dollar dat hit done broke my pipe all
o pieces. "
