The terrible prevalence Of yellow fever in

others the destruction of town refuse is being
discussed by municipal authorities through

town water works, and the pollution of fresh
water streams by making them the depository
of garbage and other refuse filth becomes a
serious matter. Next to pure water there Is

In the doorway OF the shop of a dealer in
Oriental goods on Twenty-third street see
standing, almost every time l pass, little,
sad eyed japanese boy. The little fellow
cannot be above years of age, and as he
watches the passers-by, or looks up at blue
sky, which seems to be his favorite occupa-
ton, there is an expression Of loneliness and
sadness IN his face which seems to tell YOU
that he is longing to be once more at home
again, among those who love him, and be-
meath the glorious sun of his native country.
Occasionally, though his face brightens and
his funny little brown countenance is
wreathed in smiles, and that is when some
pretty girl who is out shopping looks up at
him and catches his gaze The men who

fair sex is concerned he is true gallant.
