oard OF Health
DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.


Dr. G. @. 1iYTeN Secretary State Board of Health
Sdcrdnento-DEAR SIR In view of the fact that
yellow fever is an epidemic in several of the
Southern States and that its spreading is to be
feared, ana IN order to guard and protect our
own people against an invasion of so terrible
scourge, desire that the State Board OF Health
shall bring every appliance to bear that may be
considered necessary in order that its entrance
into this State, either from the south or north
may be prevented. Wherever the power of the
Board will permit see that the inspectors are
appointed, who thoroughly understand their
duties and will properly and honestly fulfill
them, and should it be necessary to appoint or
require the services of inspectors in localities
not within the limits of California, il would be
advisable to consult with the proper authorities
at washington IN regard to the matter. | do
not desire to hamper you with any suggestions
OF my own, relying upon the intelligence and
good Judgment OF the Board TO carry out my
views in the matter, requesting that l may be
informed of the progress of events in connee-
tloD with the subject now under consideration.
Yours truly,
R. w. WATERMAN, Governor.
DR.. Tyrrell has just returned from a trip
to the southern portion of the State, going
as far south as Point Iona, where a new
quarantine station has been established, il
being at the entrance to the harbor of San
Diego. He says that new line of steam
ers has been established between Topaz.
Mazatlan and Guaymas; the travel between
those ports and California is constantly in.
cressing, and, as the yellow fever is more
or less epidemic in all those ports, they
should be carefully guarded. He says the
State Board will appoint a competent
inspector to watch all trains coming into
the State from the south, as some of the
Jacksonville refugees may head this way
He is of the opinion that should the dread
disease ever get foothold in the warm
valleys of this State it would be difficult to
get rid of it.

Are (airis Growinx Smallerl

The girl Of the period ranges from
140 pounds down, in some cases to
eighty pounds or less. Between these
two limits may be found almost all the
healthy loneliness of the fair sex in
America. In England and Germany
the figures are larger !; in France and
southern Europe they are the same as
in this country, or smaller.
Eighty pounds of femininity is, Of
course, not much. viewed from a ma
terial standpoint, although it was
probably about the weight of Cleopatra,
if archaeological research may be de-
pended upon, and she was rather more
than too much for any Of the cham
pions of her day. Cleopatra is the ex-
ception which proves the rule as to
progressive thinness. All the other
bellies of antiquity were large, ample
ladies'. of generous proportions and
great health. Semiramis was taller
than most of her guardsmen. The
mind fails to consent to a petite Boa
dicea. C~harlemagne's mother was
nearly six feet tall. Margaret of An
jou was large. Elizabeth could not be
described as small, and, in fact, most
of the historic danes of whose size we
have any vague idea were big beyond
all modern ideas of what q woman
should permit herself to be, beginning
with wi great mother, Eve, who was
a giantess, according to the Arab ira
dition, which still points to hel tre-
mendous tomb. The facts are meagre,
but even within the experience of men
now living, the movement toward os-
seousness has been apparent. Mis-
souri, Republican.

COrn.Cob Pipes.

There 10 q fashion in pipes 9 we'll as
in bonnets. There are men who take un-
alleged pleasure in a corn-cob bowl
with an Indian-reed or bamboo stem
who would feel a sense of moral degra-
dation in smoking the ordinary German
china bowl and q sense of foppery in
the meerchaum. There is no arguing
about such matters. It belongs to q
certain subtle line of thought and CON
duct which fairly marks ones indi-
viduality, and you might as we'll try
and make the corn-cob smoker wear q
conspicuous diamond breastpin ~ alter
his foibles in the affair of q pipe. The
simplicity, purity, and wholesomeness
Of his smoking arrangements are very
apt to be the precise qualities which
he prizes in other concerns, and it will
not uncommonly be found that his
taste is sober in departments where
taste is involved and that in matters Of
business fidelity he is apt to ful6ll his
engagements without ostentation and
without default. Such q man could
not be- hired to smoke . huge cigar,
deeming it absolutely vulgar, and his
entertainments, if he is q family man,
will be characterized by old-fashioned
candor and hospitality. That corn-cob
pipe means more than appears ON the
surface. 1t is one Of the things which
do not all end in smoke.

Novel Uses for Gravestones.

Nothing goes on in an uninterrupted
career in this world, and even grave.
stones come now and then and to
strange uses. In q village in Maine,
for instance, q farmer, having waxed in
fortune until he was able to replace the
slate gravestones in his family burial
lot by marble, was too thrifty to throw
the old slabs away. He therefore util-
visitors to the kitchen and the diary
trod upon Inscriptions gradually fading
away, which, with scriptural phrase
and the cheerful overseeing of trian-
gular-visaged cherubs, recorded the
names, the virtues, and the untimely
taking off OF the forefathers of the
thrifty farmer.
In another Maine village is, or was,
q boarding school for young ladies, in
the kitchen of which q large white mar
BILE slab, sacred to the memory of .
worthy woman, whom it described as
having died in the Lord, was used as q
kneading board. Now and then a loaf
of bread after it was moulded would
rest for q moment or two on the deeply
cut inscription, and the pupils averred
-nOW trutnIulIY the edltOr makes M
pretense of being able to determine
that they had been able to decipher
bits of the words printed on the bottom
Of the slices of bread.
But perhaps the most remarkable fate
for q tombstone vas that which befell
the moss-grown slab in an English
churchyard. An American parvenu OF
the same family name as that of the
man whose death the stone recorded
purchased the stone of q dishonest sex
ton and brought it home with her. II
is now set into the wall Of her sumpt-
uously appointed New York library,
besides q fictitious pedigree, which lies
to all beholders by tracing the family
of the present owner back to hat of the
man whose name is on the stone. Az
he has been dead ITO years he il prob
ably beyond caring for such things, else
Mrs. Parvenu might have good reason
to expect . call from his ghost some
night, come to reclaim his gravestone.

Dangers Of the Electric Light.

Taken all in all the electric light has
been far less prolific in danger than
was prophesied at the beginning. AS
yet there is no reliable data to be OBJ
tanned upon this important point.
While the number of fires due to elec-
trio light wires is approximately known
the ratio of such fires to the actual
number of buildings equipped with
electric light is not ascertainable; but
the opinion of experts places the per-
centage of fires from this cause at a
very low figure. AS vi knowledge in
this direction advances the hazard will
c continue until it will be possible to use
the electric light with even more
safety than gas. In the meantime,
while the rules of the fire underwrit-
ers may seem at times too rigid, it is
best after all to err on the safe side.

Capture Of an "Angel."

If all imposters could be dealt with
. summarily as was Q religious fanatic
in the Pacific Islands, new aud mush-
room faiths would meet speedily with
the fate they deserve. This man, a
native minister, had declared that he
vas the bearer OF q message from
Heaven, to the effect that the end of
the world was Of baud. It was not
long before he had gathered q large
circle Of disciples, believing with all
their hearts in the approaching catas-
trophe. Maafu, the Viceroy of the
Windward Islands, had never interfered
in the religious leanings Of his people.
Now, however, he was reused a belief
in the coming end of the world meant
lack Of interest in the planting Of yams,
the paying OF taxes, and other tenn
poral concerns
Maafu set sail for the island which
had embraced the new religion. On
his arrival the head men Of the village
were summoned before him. They
came crouching before their ruler,
who sat on the deck Of his battered
yacht, plscidly splicing q rope.
"Fijians," said Maafu, why do you
mot pay your taxes?'
The men replied that they had been
told by an angel from Heaven that the
end Of the world was at hand, and that
they therefore felt it advisable to spend
their time and strength in prayer.
Fetch this angel" commanded
Maafu.
He was brought on board, and with
him . woman carrying q baby. The
fanatic stood before Maafu, who quietly
went ON splicing his rope.
$50 you are the man who tells these
people to neglect their duties?"
II am an angel sent to warn them"
An angel! All! Who il that
woman? \"
my wife. She is an angel, too"
aAh! and is that child yoursP"
"Yes."
"You are an angel, and you have .
wife and child?"
"Yes."
Maafu rose and cried, in q voice
which awed those about him:
20 Fijians! how can this thing be
when it is written In Heaven there is
neither marrying nor giving in mar
riagey Fools! overheard to your
canoes! Pay your taxes and plant
your yams. or it shall he worse for
You, men Of VIII. And you, woman,

So Maafu carried off the angel aud
kept him : prisoner for that length Of
time. The new religion died and tho
people returned to their ordinary du-
