The loss by fire during the fiscal year
ending yesterday is larger than any year
since 1866. The burning of the National
Theatre alone caused more damage than
all the other fires, and occasioned the
unusual loss. The number of fires was
also materially greater, which must be
expected on account of the growth of the
city during the year. Considering the
small Fire Department we have in pro-
portion to the territory and population of

Preventing Contagion In the Schools.

In London, the medical officers OF
school associations having drawn up
code of rules for the prevention of con-
tagious and infectious diseases in
schools, the following rules are Endorsed,
provided patient and clothing are
thoroughly disinfected: "A pupil may
go home, or rejoin the school, after
scarlet-fever, in not less than six weeks
from the date of the rash, if desquama-
ton have completely ceased, and there
be no appearance of sore throat;
measles, in not less than three weeks
from the date of the rash, if all des-
quamation and cough have ceased; Ger
man measles (Rotheln, or epidemic
roseola), in two or three weeks, the ex-
net time depending upon the nature of
the attack; smallpox and chicken-pox,
when every scab has fallen off; humps
in four weeks from the commencement,
if all swelling has subsidized; whooping-
cough, after six weeks from the COM
mencement of the whooping, provided
the characteristic spasmodic cough and
the whooping have ceased, or earlier, if
all cough has completely passed away I;
diphtheria, in not less than three weeks,
when convalescence is completed, there
being no longer any form of sore throat,
or any kind of discharge from the

The Luster OF Pearls.

Pearls deteriorate by age, contact
with acids, gas, and noxious vapors OF
all sorts. This is especially true OF
pierced pearls. Various means of re-
storing them have been tried. but ex-
perience shows them to be useless. The
best way to preserve pearls is to wipe
them with clean linen cloth after being
worn, and deposit them, wrapped in
linen, in closed box or casket. A
leading importer of pearls advises that
pearl necklaces, which are liable to de-
teriorate by coming in contact with the
skin, be restrung once year, as draw
ing the silk thread out and In through
the pierced parts tends to cleanse the
pearls. In Ceylon, we are assured on
fairly good authority, that when it is
desired to restore the luster to Orien-
tai pearls the pearls are allowed to be
swallowed by chickens. The fowls
with this precious diet are then killed,
and the pearls regained in white and
lustrous state.-Je,celers' Circular.

Unmarried Literary Women.

A survey of the lives of the later and
literary women shows us two things:
First, that most of them were either
single, or if married were childless I;
and, second, that they have been gen.

spinsters includes Fredrika Bremen,
Emily Bronze, Hannah More, Harriet
Martineau, Eliza Cook, Miss Sedgwick,
Gail Hamilton, the Carys. Miss Dickin-

Augusta Evans, Jane Austen; while
that of childless women includes Mrs.

nor Of India against the Shah. After .
few months hostilities a treaty Of peace was
signed at Paris by Lord Cowley and the
Persian ambassador, in which ample salts
faction was givento England. Subsequently
the Shah had wars with several neighboring
tribes and was successful in an expedition
against the Turcomans. In 1873 he visited
Europe and was received with great eclat.
Although he was absent from his kingdom
from May until September, not the slight

tests the popularity of his reign. He Wis

Vienna, Constantinople, and many other
places of less note. During his tour he
kept diary which was published in the
original Persian and subsequently, transla-

Tho Career and Picture of the Ruler of
PARKWAY Persia.

PARKWAY Persia.
Nassau Deem, the Shah of Persia, is q
son of the late Mehemet Shah and Queen
Velliet of the Kadgar tribe, and grand
son Of Abbas Mirga. He was born in 1929
and succeeded to the throne in 1S4S. The
Shah is well versed in Persian and Turkish,
and is somewhat of historian. Unlike
many Of the smaller potentates, he fully un-
derstands the position he occupies in regard
to the greater powers. In manner he is
mild and gentle, and his habits in private
life are extremely simple. With all his
mildness, however, he is endowed by nature
with considerable energy, which he makes
felt at times. When the war between Rus
sia and Turkey was begun he declared his
neutrality, but before the close of that never
to-be-forgotten conflict, entered into COM
pact with Russia. In the year following
the close of the war Herat was occupied by
Persian troops. and in consequence war
