There is no occasion Tor worry or alarm at
the fact that the United States cruiser Boston
has arrived at this port with yellow fever
among her crew. Even were she anchored of
the Battery it would be all but impossible for
the disease to spread in this climate at this
time of year. The Boston is now at Quar-
antine, where everything is being done to kill
the fever germs and to restore those now
afflicted The fever has done an evil work
among the Boston's crew, but it is believed
that the worst is over.

In letter from Ottawa glimpse is given OF
the functions, social and political, Of the Ca
madam Governor-General The influence of
the thrones representative upon the Domin-
ions affairs is scarcely detected in America.
OF course, every distinguished man has an in
Auence of personal sort which even yicarious
Royalty must exert to greater or a less eX-
tent. But it is not apparent here that the
Governor-Genera as an official ever does any
thing of moment, and it is instructive to learn
that he has a function.
Yae's football team has again won not
able victory after a brilliant and exciting
struggle with her rival, Princeton. There
were many people who thought the Jersey boys
to be in their finest form this year and capable
of much more effective playing than they did
yesterday. The game between Harvard and
Yale, about which so much controversy has
been going on, has not yet been abandoned, so
that the victory over Princeton is not con-
elusive. But the Yale team has demonstrated
powers so superior as to make her supremacy
almost unassailable. The philosophy of yes
terday's game seems to show that the open
game is surer than the conservative rush.

Housekeeping in Guatemala.

Perhaps the people OF Guatemala are as
cleanly rs others, but according to our
observation the common practice was to
allow the dogs to lick the dishes, which
received no additional washing. 1t was
the custom, also, at the table d'hote in
the hotels to finish meal by filling the
mouth with water and squirting it on the
tiled floor Once when we stopped at u
wayside house to get some coffee, the
sonora made little fire out of doors, put,
the coffee in q very black pot to boil, and,
after tanning the reluctant fire with her
straw hat, threw herself on the ground
near by to rest and smoke her puro
When the pot was near to boiling she
reached out her bare leg and tested tho
temperature of the contents with her toe,
as northern cook might have used her
finger. At hotel tablecloth served also
for napkins, and the dishes were OF many
patterns, colors and degrees of dirtiness
1t seemed absurd to call for a clean
plate, but we did so to see what would
happen. A large tame duck used to
waddle under my chair, and at last
would take bits of tortilla from my
hand. Several NANCY dogs and cats had
to be driven out whenever we sat down
to eat; but the hens were not disturbed,
for they contributed so much to our
larder that they were privileged, and one
nested in an old felt hat on corner
shelf, while another came cackling out
of one of the dark bedrooms that opened
on either side.-W.. I. Bigham's ''Guat-

A jig at a Funeral.

Old John Walton and wife-may they
sit side by side through all eternity as
CHEEKY, radiant and loving as l always
find them at Russell street, Portlandl He
is over 80 years of age now, and it is de-
light to listen to his tales of the days and
ways when the century came in. Among
his earliest and strongest recollections
was peculiar feature in the burial cere-
monies of the hero of Tripoli, Commodore
Edward Preble, in Portland, 1907.
"They had sent out all the country over, !"
he relates, "for band music. No entire
organization could be got. But more
than 100 musicians came, sort of on their
own hook. When they got here it was
found that, while the town was overrun
with every manner of musician and mu-
sical instrument, that there was not one
dirge or march they could all play to-
gether, if they were to be hung for it.
The funeral obsequies in every other re-
spect were more imposing than ever before
or since, known here; music must be had
whether or no; and it was finally discov-
cred that the musicians could all play
just one composition. don't remember
the name of it, but anyhow, it was a roll
licking Irish jig; and the mournful cortege
actually moved up and down the streets
of Portland, and finally to the old Eastern
cemetery, to louder and ivelier strains OF
wild Irish music than ever crazed the
heads or bedeviled the toes of lads and
lassies at q Tipperary fair. Edgar l..

Tho bathing Rnnalo.

Beef cattle are not Indigenous to any
portion of jungle covered Malaysia, the
buffalo finding subsistence there. But the
buffalo is not used for dairy purposes, and
it is seldom eaten except by the poorest
classes, chiefly Chinese. The meat is
tough and has an unpleasant flavor. But
at heavy draught, plow1ng, log hauling
and such uses the buffalo is at home. He
is larger and stronger than the American
OK. He must have mud holes and creeks
in which he can wallow and battle. The
natives make great use of him for culti-
waiting rice. But he must be unhitched
when he gets restive, for that is a sign he
wants to bathe. And if the desire ISM t
gratifed the buffalo straightway becomes
dangerous.
These buffalos, the consul says, are
often, in size and weight, about half way
between very large OK and an average
elephant. They have ponderous and pc
culiar horns, somewhat like those of the
American buffalo, only much longer.
They are mouse colored generally, have a
very thin coating of hair, and sometimes
none at all except at the end of the tail,
on the ears and on the head.
This buffalo thriyes best when he has
access to pond or sluggish creek. He

Most persons who have seen Miss Muir
free have formed three distinct concep-
tions of the author of the mountaineer
tales. Reading Craddock's stories before
the secret of the pseudonym has been
revealed the writer of them might have
been easily imagined as a thoughtful,
poetic natured man. A southerner with
tremendous possibilities and tremendous
earnestness. A man who had lived face
to face with nature and the eternal
verities, to whom the brawls and strug-
giles of urban existence were of less mean
ing and import than the loud chatter of
mountain brooks. A tall, lean, brown
TenneSseean probably, with that indolent
slouchiness of gait and carriage, under
which many asoutherner conceals muscles
OF iron. That was the ideal Charles
Egbert Craddock, who was so real to ones
fancy that when Miss Murfree revealed
herself one couldn't quite concede that he
had no existence.
Then with the advertisements of her
books appeared little wood cut of her, a
vivid faced woman, with eyes and hair of
intensest black, clear cut, vigorous feat
ures, and a certain masculine force in her
aspect that accorded well with her bold,
clear signature, and then at last one came
to see her in the flesh, and beholdI she
was as unlike either of these Craddocks
as they were unlike each other. A very
small woman; so lame she can scarcely
cross the floor unaided. Slight and yet
square in figure. A small white face, with
the withered whiteness of one whose health
had always been delicate. Pale, neutral
brown hair and eyes, and a formal prim-
ness of manner like that of q shy, clever
woman who has lived much in retirement
The only hint one gets of the great author
is in the impression she gives of seeing
and noting of everything; of weighing and
estimating every one about her, and hav-
ing a marvellous strength and concentra-
ton of attention; but her reserve is inf
nite.-B. L. r. Dane in New Orleans

women as BIN collectors.

The employment Of women as collectors
of doubtful bills is, / am assured by q
legal friend, being practiced nowadays
with great success. He says that women
are more persistent and industrious to be-
gin with, and that men are forced to be
civil to them, who would not hesitate TO
set the dog on male dun. Some Of the
most notoriously tight listed debtors in
town, he assures me, have been brought
to financial time by being pestered by
these petticoated avengers of unfulhlled
obligations One man, who had to be
sued for nearly every debt he contracted,
is now tanned as completely as Rarey
used to tame kicking horse. Women
are the only debtors the female collectors
cannot work, he says. They fight shy
of dunning their own sex, both for the
reason that the latter do not hesitate to
resort to violence toward them at times,
and because even if they are not actually
assaulted they are certain to get sharp
talking to, which they do not relish.
With the fair sex the male dun yet has
the call, and here, at least, his Office is
likely to endure for all time.-Alfred
