TINS various health boards OF the
thousand and one cities of the State
seem to have entered quite vigorously
upon the work Of sanitation. Many of
the larger cities are seen to have been
lnmentably deficient iu sewage and
other sanitary appliances while others
we're decidedly lax In collecting and re-
moving garbage cleaning streets, etc.
These matters are attracting more at
tention to-day and greater improve
ments have been made therein this year
than In any previous one. Stlll there is
much more to be accomplished. Clean
illness in this exceptionally pure climate
means health. There ls no economy IN
sickness, and all municipal authorities
should deem it their first duty to keep
clean them several municipalities no
matter at what cost.

Nails in Decorations.

ROund-headed brass nails may of
themselves be extensively used in deco
rating chests, etc. 1t is well known in
repOuSse or Sheet-brass work that a
very important point consists of intro
ducing at regular intervals bosses, or
round studs, of such a nature that they
shall attract the eye by rejecting light.
Thus, in the days when every room
had its salvers and plates of hammer
ed brass, favorite subjects were oranges,
grapes, and other round fruits, whose
hemispherical and rounded surface
gave a brilliant reflect of light. Ac-
cordingly, a very favorite subject for
a brass platter was the spies returning
from Canaan, bearing between them
an immense bunch of grapes. During
three hundred years there were as many
salvers made with this subject as all
others combined. In fact, the employ
ment of the boss, or knob. or circle,
in art is as old as art itself; it was COM
mon among the earliest races, and an
article which | have read declares that
the white dots in blue ground which
form the undying ''polka-dot pattern"
in cravats is the survival of the heads
of the riVets in ancient armOr. 1t is
as curious as instructive to observe
how, for instance in Romanesque dress,
very good effects were produced by
simple circlets, surrounded at times by
dots. These are seen, too, not only on
old Anglo-SaNon and Gaulish dresses,
but on all objects where it was desira-
bic to produce the most ornamental eff
feet in the easiest manner. Nails can.
be had at the brass furnisher's in great
variety and of every pattern. from one

Chinese Burial Grounds.

As you walk around Shanghai you
think that about half the land is waste.
You fancy it is left, as large coverts
and heather-clad heath are left where
game-preserVing fsourishes; but if you
look closer, you see turf-covered
mounds. 1t is a burial ground. No
where else in that neighborhood will
you see a square yard of land that is
not under tillage. Half our little wars
with the Chinese came from trespass-
irg on these cemeteries. The French
at Shanghai had what threatened to be
a big row when they wanted to drive a
road through one of them. They are
taboo" Sometimes of an evening
you may see the village elder walking
around and explaining to the young
sters that their ancestors of hundred
years ago are buried here, and that
five mounds off lies that happy father
who was raised to the rank of mar
quiS because his son came out first
classic and senior wrangler in the final
examination. | am speaking of an old
battle-ground. In the new ones you
see the solid, highly-varnished collins
Gotten carved lying on the surface.
There they are left for a year or two,
after which they are matched or brick
ed over, according to the wealth of the
family, the result being a mausoleum
like those set up TO several of our royal
family. This soon gets grown over
with grass and weeds, and ends by be-
coming a mound, still hallowed in the
recollection of the elders, still visited
on anniversaries with the appointed
offerings. The thing to remember is
that III China all is above ground;
there is no digging of graves; simply
laying down the collins and covering
them by and by.
In old times they used to bury be-
side their dead gold and precious stones
of all kinds. They are more economi-
cal nowadays; one remembers how
they burn horses, and birds, and furni-
ture, etc, cut out of gold and red pa
per, instead of the old offerings, which
have grown too costly. In their pres
ent state of mind, the Chinese are not
likely to take to cremation or to let
their grave fields be desecrated by
plough or spade; therefore they are
bound to go in for sewage, and if our
people out there want to make life
pleasanter, let them try to get an inn
perial edict for deodorizing Our resi-
dents can not complain much about
the unhealthfulness of the present sys-
tenn. The Chinese are on, the whole, a
healthy people. the Year Round.

THE GIRLS WILL MARRY.

w lille so many nIammaS with dauGh.
tiers and carriages are watching the
cOachmen there are good many mis-
tresses of households who are watching
the maids, says The Philadelphia Times
Few family necessities are so rare as
good nurses and chambermaids When
they are good ones they are priced, and
their miStresseS are afraid of losing
them. This is more than ever the case
during the summer with nursemaids
who are taken away to summer resorts
with the children. Nurses are as
much affected by moonlight nights on
the beach, romantic country surround
ings, and the persistent. attention of
ardent SWANS as the rest of their sex,
and, as natural consequence, a good
many of them, about the time summer
is over, ''give warning" and 90 off and
get married.
Only those who have been brought
face to face with the difficult know
what trial it is to lose in this manner
a clean, tidy, obedient nurse. who is in
telligent and faithful, and who not only
takes a great interest in the children,
but is liked by them in return. But
Gu6Sc, Vi COuISc, are IuOSb 1lh61y W NC
the first ones to 90 off. For some I'M
accountable cause the summer season
just closed has been a remarkable one
in the number of maids at service in
prominent Philadelphia families who
have married or made their arrange
ments to marry before the winter.
There are few families that went off
anywhere with maids at all attractive
but have had their maids matrimonial
ly assailed or completely captured. In
many cases the sources of danger were
the walters at the fashionable hotels
where the families were staying. Some
of these walters are very gentlemanly
and agreeable, as well as good-loOking
fellows, and they managed to wreak
havoc in many of the handmaidens'
hearts. There were some very anus
ing cases where families ran away from
the places they were at to prevent
their maids falling in love with the wait
ers. At the Berkeley Arms, the most
fashionable place on the coast, where
Cupid ran amuck in the kitchen and
ante-chamber, several families took
their departure from this cause.
In one case the girl is now on trial
as daughters are sometimes tested. The
family suddenly concluded to 90 to
Europe, and took their nurse with them
in the hope of breaking her infatuation
for waiter, handsome Frenchman.
When, as in this case. the nurse is
French also, the mistresses have hard
time of it.

Fastidious English Servants.

SLAVES IN PETTICOATS.

In Germany women do most of the
mental out-of-doOr work.
Switzerland is the only country in
continental Europe where peasant wo-
men arr not obliged to do all the hard
work.
A woman was seen recently in Ma
pies clrrying q coffin on her head,
chatting gayly with man who walked
empty handed at her side.
Not nfrequently woman. and a COW
are seen together pulling a coal cart
through the streets of North German
city, man touching them up, gently
to be sare, with whip as he walks be-
side them.
In Denmark it is not unusual to see
a woman high up in cherry tree pick

slightest word, etc. 1t is enough for
me to say that the heads of some of the
government institutions are controlled
so completely by their wives that the
latter are indeed the superintendent.
[ have IN my mind the wife of man
who is at the head of an institution,
who Is SO powerful with the influence
over her husband that he can do moth
ing scarcely without consulting her.
She is almost daily beside him at his
desk. She goes through the place,
looks around the employees, makes in
quiries, and knows about as much as
the husband of what is going on. She
keeps the people there on nettles.
There IS no lady in the institution who
feels secure in her position after the
wife makes her tour of inspection.
They all fear that some jealous fancy
will lead to dismissal. What poor
woman is there who may not be wrong
fully suspected? If the husband dares
make promotion of lady, or grants
a lady employee kindness, the reason

The correspondent gave it up.
''Well, SIR continued the lady, Il
would pass law forbidding the wives
of the heads of all department bureaus
and other institutions of the govern
ment visiting their husbands during
the hours OF public or private business.
That is, all such officers who have la
dies under their supervision. And why
would do it? Because l would make
it impossible for the whims or jeal-
ousies Of a wife to step in between an
employe and justice, and would make
it possible for the head of such institu-
tons to promote or favor meritorious
lady employees without requiring that
head to make diagram for the wife
each time"

Feeling Confidence in the Future.

AS Mr.. Vanderbilt says, there is
everything in feeling confidence in the
future. James Landing, Arkansas,
used to be situated in Tennessee. One
night the big river went OH a bender,
and next morning the, Landing was on
the Arkansas shore. The half-dozen
residents crawled out of bed, to be
amazed and dumbfounded, and plunged
into despair. After bit a steamboat
came along and turned her nose into
the bank, and the captain called out:
What in blazes has happened?'
This new cutoff has moved us into
Arkansas, was the reply.
Bad bad! And how do you feel?"
"Well, we did feel all broke up at
first, but we've had meeting and
talked it over, and we've got heap of
confidence in the future. Come to fig
ger up, we've jumped Tennessee debts

Consulting a Railway Guide.

Somebody who has tried it says that
he finds more excitement in consulting
a railway guide than he can discover in
the most sensational novel. In the
latter, he remarks, you have only to
turn to the end Of the book to find
out the mystery; but in the former you
never find it, particularly if you seek
to learn from it the most expeditions
means of reaching an out-of-the-way
place Next to a railway guide book,
the officials at a railway station are, as
a rule, the most perplexing sources to
consult for information. A very oblig-
ing official, one day this week, was
asked by a person who had befogged
himself into despair by consulting a
guide book, ''How can | 90 to Thorn
ton?' by car was the reply, and
as it removed from the inquirer mind
any suspicion that the place was
reached by ocean steamer, he should
have been satisfied. He was not, how
ever, and pestered the unfortunate
man with questions, until in actual
self defense he had to interrupt an in
teresting conversation with a friend
and give some definite information on
the subject.
