NOTES.

When on his way to C0nstantinople
during his sketching tour of last sum-
mer, Mr. f. Hopkinson Smith tarried at
Sofia long enough to get acquainted
with the complexion of affairs in Bull
garia, and to make few characteristic
sketches of the street life of its capital
Out of these materials he has written,
and illustrated. lively article which he
calls "a Bulgarian Opera Bouffe. " At
that time the political situation had an
element of humor. but the paper fore
bodies the days of trouble that have
come almost simultaneously with the
appearance of the article in the Nav
Century. The illustrations includ por-
traits of Prince Ferdinand. his mother
Princess Clementine, and the Prime
Minister, M. Stamboloff.
Among the cabin passengers who ar
rived from Europe on the 18th, by the
steamship LA Bourgogne." were four
teen Partisan designers of ladies' fash
ionable gowns. These artists have been
engaged by the enterprising managers
of THE NEW YORK AND PARIS YOUNG
LADIES FASHION BAZAAR, to contribute
exclusively to the columns of that popu-
lar magazine. All of them are well
known in New York, for their reputat-
ions haye preceded them. Mrs Aston.
the VanderbiIts, Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs Marshall o. Roberts are among the
society leaders who haye worn gowns
designed by these artists.

Here are the items:

There is not a single item here that
could not just as we'll have been grown
by our citizens. and because of this fact
our tariff required foreign competitors
to pay for the privilege of selling here.
They were accordingly charged the
snug sum of fourteen and half million
dollars, and to that extent they were
forced to tighten the taxes that other
wise would have been paid by the
citizens OF the United States.

Over $4,000 Manuscripts
SENT TO ONE MAGAZINE OF WHICH NOT
200 WERE ACCEPTED.

Mr.. Box, the Editor of The Ladies
Home Journal. recently gave some inter-
esting figures relative to the manuscripts
received by his magazine during 1890.
Owing to its departments and peculiar
character. the Journal probably receives
more manuscripts than any magazine
published. Mr.. Box says that he recei-
we'd at his office total number of 15.-
205 manuscripts. OF these, 2,250 were
poems; LAG stories and 11,l79 miscell-
aneous articles. OF the poems. Sc were
accepted; of the stories, only q and of
the articles 410, of which latter, how
ever, over 500 were solicited articles.
Thus, it will be seen that of the entire
$4,000 manuscripts only 497 were accep-
ted; a trife over three per cent. De-
Quoting from this the 300 accepted arti-
cles written at the Editors solicitation,
the net percentage of unsolicited manu-
scripts accepted is brought down to 1877
or a little more than one per cent. Sta
tistics such as these show how much
utter trash is being written, and the
number of persons writing who ought to
be employing their time at something
else and better.

THE Senttp3t claims that while the

there seems to be no way to reach the

crown of a silk hat and showing a few
hundred stars. Contrasted to this was
then shown what the dry plate photo
graph shows in single field of the tele-
scope. This was space about twelve by
eight feet, and within it were revealed
myriads of stars and suns.
The milky way'' views were very
fine, in the opinion of many the best OF
the exhibition. They proved that our
previous conceptions of the composition
of the milky way have fallen far below
the truth; that it is peopled by stars and
suns and star clouds in countless num-
bers, exceeding any ideas ever formed OF
1t prior to the application of dry plate
photography to astronomy.
We have referred, necessarily, in these
notes 10 but a part of the topics treated.
At the close of the lecture Professor Bar
nard was warmly applauded. So many
were unable to gain admission last night
that the idea was entertained of asking
the lecturer to speak again tonight. But
it was concluded that the notice would be
too brief in which to notify the people
and secure an audience that would do the
occasion and speaker honor, and hence it
was decided to ask Professor Barnard to
come again at later date and deliver his
lecture on comets. That proposition he
has under consideration. If he consents.
he can be assured that the desire of the
observatory faculty to popularize the
knowledge gained by research at Mount
Hamilton will be promoted in this city.
and that he will have another intelligent
and large audience.

LOCAL HEALTH LAWS.
How They Are Being Daily Violated
or Ignored.
Contagious Diseases Spread Thereby
Arrest of a Doctor for Failing to
Report a Scarlet Fever Case.

The City Board of Health and Health
Officer Nichols are to be commended for
| the energy which they are displaying in
| the matter of the enforcement of the
health ordinances. 1t will be remem bered
that at the last meeting of the board the
statement was made that child had died
of scarlet fever in a house on K street,
and that several other cases had resulted
close by, but that no warning placard had
been placed on the house where the first
case occurred, as required by law.
The matter was referred to Health Off
Ger Nichols to investigate, and he found
such to have been the case. The family
is named Crabb, and resides on E street,
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth. A
child had died. and the mother admitted
that the house had not been placarded
The attending physician was DR.. NJ. f.
Clayton.
Four children in the family of D. D.
Paxter, who lives next door to the Crabb
residence, were stricken with the disease,
the first case occurring about the time
OF the death of the Crabb child, and it re-
suited fatally. The other three children
are still down with the disease. This
house was properly ptacarded.
The facts were laid before City Attor-
ney Hart, and yesterday DR.. Clayton was
arrested for violating the ordinance re-
quiring all physicians to report cases of
dlphtherla, scarlet fever, measles. ETC..
promptly to the Board of Health. He
gave bond of 500 for his appearance.
Almost daily cases are cited where
members OF families in which these dis
eases prevail violate the ordinance by
mingling with their neighbors, also of
children being sent to school from houses
where scarlet fever and diphtheria exist.
The law is very stringent against these
practices, and all that is needed is for
some person to enter complaint in order
to have the guilty parties punished.
The fact has also come to light that
parents whose children had been attacked
with contagious diseases of the character
mentioned in the ordinance, have refrained
from calling in physicians in order to
avoid having their houses placarded
This class of people prefer to take the
risk Of their children dying rather than
have placards placed on their houses
Just why there should be such a preiu-
dice among the heads of families to these
warning notices it is difficult to conceive.
1t is bad enough to have the lives of ones
own children, or other members OF the
family, endangered by malignant dis
ease, but no person should be so indiffer-
ent TO the safety of whole community
as to wish TO conceal from his neighbors
the fact Of the existence of sickness in his
own family.
There is an epidemic of scarlet fever
now sweeping over the city, and every
good citizen should do his duty by noti-
tying the Health Board of any violation
of the ordinances that may come under
his notice, even if he has to suffer thereby
the loss OF some neighbours good will
