Who would suppose that a turned down kerosene lamp would breed diphtheria? We are all uncustomed to tho deadly fumes arising from this cause ; aud when New York was suffering from an epidemic of diph thetia, the board of health decided that its presence was to be attribut ed to the fumes of a kerosene lamp turned down low moro than any other singlo cause. Whether or not this be bo, it certainly is a mistaken kindness on the rnrt of an indul gent mother to allow a lamp to re main in a child's bed room with the flame turned down. A turned down kerosene lamp is a magazine of deadly eas to which tho strongest lungs cannot be safely exposed. Avery where. Selinsgrove are visiting their daugh ter, Mrs. N. A.
