The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure fTNHE few cases of Typhoid m Aehbutton Borough and Suburbs afford no A. ground for a " scare," but it is only by usiug reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe aßwell. Keen interest is being token m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infeotion of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by" bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively , small. Possession ot one becomes an^absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. ( 0 ).

A BULL IN A BANK. ' Some sensation was created m the town of Cobden, Victoria, the other day by the vagaries of a large bull. The animal was being driven down the street, when he rushed through the glass doors into the banking chambers 6f the National Bank. Fortunately duly the staft were m the office, and they were on the opposite side ci the counter, which rendered their, position tolerably safe if not very comfortable. The bull soon found out for himself what has Wen previously noted, that it is eften easier to get into a bank than out of it, and finding it impossible to leave by the door he endeavoured to burst through the iron-barred window. He iucceeded m smashing the window to atoms, but by the time this was accom- plished, a gang of men had been pm- enred, and the bull, wbo had settled down into something like a fixed deposit, was rop d and led out. This; •light acquaintance with banking busi- ness Appears to have favourably im- pressed the animal, for about an hour afterwards he rushed madly . along the road and succeeded once more m forc- ing his way into the bank. Be was again roped and led oat, and was thenoe, taken to th« police station, where he only escaped incarceration on a obarge of insulting behaviour on the owner romising to have him shot.
