QUARANTINE AT SAN FRANCISCO.

The recent long detention of the Occi.
dental and Oriental Steamship Company's
steamer Oceanic in quarantine at San Fran
cisco has awakened attention to the urgent
need OF proper quarantine grounds at that
point. 1t is justly observed that no city
OF similar Importance is without such ac-
commodations. San Francisco, moreover,
Is the gateway OF tie Orient. 1t is the
door through which the East and the West
communicate. 1t consequently has greater
need OF complete and ample quarantine
arrangements than any other city ON the
continent except New York, and it ought
TO lave these accommodations. The in
convenience and injury resulting from the
want of proper quarantine grounds are
very considerable, and this fac. was Illus
trated in the case of tie detention of the
Oceanic. It was necessary Tor it was as.
sumed to be necessary to keep all the
passengers of that vessel on board her for
two weeks after her arrival, and one result
OF this was to render the steamer useless
to her owners during the entire period.
With proper quarantine arrangements an
infected vessel would at once discharge her
passengers into hulk, or en- shore at the
quarantine buildings wherever they might
be. She could then bs fumigated and dis
infected thoroughly. and could be returned
to her regular business without much
loss of time. It is clear that where
a company lad but one or two vessels on
line, the present want of accommodation

Santa Fe line, filed with party of excur-
sionists from Las Vegas, N NJ, arrived at
Long Wharf this afternoon. The party con-
sists of A. A. Robinson, wife and daughter,
of Las Vegas, N. NJ; @. E. Cast and wife,
and M. u. Thatcher and wife, of Pueblo /;
Colonel Elisha Burdick and wife, of Madi-
son, Wis; Mrs. Ellen F. Williams, of Ed
gerson, Wis: and Alba Childs and wife, of
GAINESVILLE, Wis. More than ordinary i'm
portance is attached to this arrival, when it
is understood that Mr.. Robinson is Chief
Engineer and Superintendent of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany, and that Mr.. Cast is attorney of the
same company, and that they are here for
business, and not for pleasure merely. 1t is
coniectured that the presence of these of
fcials at this time has something to do with
negotiations with parties here that will results
in the establishment OF through line of
railroad from the Pacific to the. Atlantic in
dependent of the Central Pacific.

TIE LEGISLATURE.

So the Legislature has resolved to adj
journ sine die at noon to-day, having at
last concluded that it was impracticable
to pass an apportionment bill. The failure
of this measure is certainly misfortune,
though it is rumored that Governor
Perkins will call another extra session next
winter to attend 20 it. But whatever the
outcome may be, it is necessary to make
the public understand that the illegtimate
attempt to force the debris question into
the extra session is alone responsible for
this failure. But for that ill-Judged and
futile piece of strategy, there would have
been satisfactory apportionment bill
passed. The members who have spent the
extra session in efforts to legislate upon
questions which were not mentioned in the
Governors proclamation calling it, have,
therefore, the satisfaction OF knowing that
their unreasonable activity and obstinate
peryersity have brought about not only the
unnecessary prolongation of the session,
but the defeat of one Of the prin.
cipal objects for which it was
called. These members perhaps thought
that they were laying the foundation for
future greatness, but in fact, as the event
shows, they were manufacturing for
themselves very awkward burden of
responsibility, of which they will find it
difficult to relieve themselves now that
superintendent is dead through their
agency. As, moreover, they were en-.
deavoring to evade the Constitution at
the same time that they were striving go
hard to embarrass the session, the justifica-
tion of their course will be hard. But for
them the session might have been ended
within the twenty days for which the
Governor called it, and instead of being
as it now is, comparative fasco, it might
have accomplished all the purposes for
which it was convened. Reflections OF
this character may not be agreeable to the
/" Anti-Shckens members, but they are
founded in truth, and they will have to
be borne.

JAPANEsE BABIEs.-"I never saw PEG.
pie take SO much delight in their children, "
writes Miss Bird in her new book on the
japanese, carrying them about or hold
ing their hands in walking, watching and
entering into their games, supplying them
constantly with toys, taking them to pic
mes and festivals. and never being content
to be without them. Both fathers and
mothers take pride in their children, It
IS most amusing, about every morning,
to see twelve or fourteen men sitting on a
low wall, each with child or two in his
arms, fondling and playing with it, and
showing off its physique and intelligence.
At night, after the houses are shut sp, look
ing through the long fringe of rope or rattan
which conseals the sliding door, you see
the naked father bending his ugly, kindly
face over gentle-looking baby; and the
mother, who more often than not has
dropped the kimono from her shoulders,
enfolding two children destitute of cloth
ing in her arms. The children, though for
our ideas too gentle and formal, are very
prepossessing in looks and behavior. They
are little men and women, rather than
children, and their ld-fashioned appear
ance is aided by their dress, which is the
same as that Of adults.

A SCIENTIFIC MARES NEST.

paper was recently read before an
English scientific association demonstrating
from the statistics of the matters that the
size of Englishmens heads has been
diminished considerably during the last
twenty years. 1t was shown by multi
plicity of measurements that the average
man nowadays wears considerably smaller
hat than the last generation did, and it
was agreed that either the race were
rapidly deteriorating, or that mems brains
were gaining in quality what they were
losing in quantity. OF course this paper
created a great deal of discussion, and il
is impossible to say where the speculations
upon it would have ended had not a person
of more than average common sense pointed
out the fact that within the last twenty
years the fashion of wearing the hair cut
very short had come into vogue, and that
before that time it was customary for men
to wear thick and comparatively long
heads OF hair. OF course it was at
once seen that this change Of fashion in
hair-cutting was alone sufficient to account
for the reduction in the size of hats but
physician of some emineDce has preached
another idea, to the effect that the fashion
of short hair tends to produce badness,
and that it is mainly responsible for the
premature loss OF hair so frequently met
with in these days. 1t is relief to know
that rational and in no way wonderful
explanation Of the era OF small hats has
been found, for had this not been done the
world would in less than three months have
beco ne deluged with dissertations upon
the intellectual deterioration of the En-
glish people. and every fanatic and rider Of
a hobby would have rushed forward to
dem ,nstrate that this hencmenon was due
TO the neglect of his particular fad. So
muc',, at least has been escaped.
