be noticed that the poet Has not alluded to
the effect of Spring on Woman. How
could he without spelling his poem,
Woman has a place, and large one. in
poetry. She is apparently poetical, and
most of the time appears to be poem.
But not in the Spring. In the Spring,
when the birds are taking on new beauties,
and young men are lightly turning to glow
ing and generous thoughts of paying some
woman's expenses through term of years
beginning with q spoony wedding and ex
tending even beyond a diamond wedding,
what is Woman doings Is she up in the
air with the birds, the poets and the young
men9 Not much. She is inviting and re-
ioicing in the approach of that annual and
furious fever known as housecleaning.
When the first "bluebird's venturous
strain" is heard she begins to expose her
self to the contagion of that disease,
dreaded of Man and welcomed by
Woman. She catches it with ease, and
she has it hard. Day after day
her temperature rises, more than keeping
pace with the rise of the temperature out
side. Her temper also rises quite as fast
as her temperature. The most prominent,
symptom of the disease-a maniacal horror
of dirt-is ever present. Another import
ant symptom-disgust with the shiftless-
ness of Man, who is more occupied with
noticing and sppreciating the ever new and
ever amazing miracle Of Spring than in
worrying himself about little dirt-is
more or less steadily conspicuous. Once
started, the disease must run its course
The robin may show his beautiful breast,
the lapwing may be as finely crested as he
pleases, the FURNISHED dove may call
for attention, and the young man
may be moved to "talk business"
But poor, sick Woman heedeth none
of these things. She must struggle
with her fever. And struggle she does un-
til it reaches its crisis and until, in her
wild delirium, che has cleaned her house
from top to bottom. When that is done
she comes to her senees, her temperature
and her temper fall, and she looks upon
shiftless Man with a more tolerant eye. It
doesn't take her long to make good re-
covery from the disease, and che waits,
with more or less patience, for the next at
tack. Some women have had it fifty or
psixty times, and they seem to enjoy each
new attack more than they did the last
one.
1t is fine thing to be bird or a man
in the Spring, and open to the sweet, the
| mysterious and the impressive influences
of the vernal resurrection. 1t is sad
thing to be Woman in the Spring, with a
mind diseased, and doomed to 60 through
the housecleanipg fever to its final de-
lirium. No wonder the poet didn't mep-
tion Woman in connection with the robin,
the lapwing, the FURNISHED dove, the
young man and Spring. She has naught
to do with the poetry of Spring. She is
to be thought of then in connection with
soft soap, scrubbing brushes, carpet clean
ing, cold and scanty victusls and general
discomfort.

The Old SanItarfan Talks in n RAM
bling Way About the Unselnsh
Labors OF sanitarians and About
His own Joys and sorrows.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
As you are personally acquainted with
me and know that my intellectual life Is
on the lofty plane, which can only be
reached by scaling the long and tiresome
Iadd er of sanitary science, I presume you
think am exempt from the joys and sor-
rows which befan other mortsls. But here
In you are mistaken. Even great santa
rians are mortals and arise from the COM
mon people. And no matter how high
their flight in the mystic realms of Sani-
tary Science may be, still to them apply
the words of the Persian sage when speak
ing of kings and rulers: "0ut of the earth
thou camest, and to thee the scsnt of the
earth shall always cling"
A few days ago / learned that the health
officer of New Haven had been summoned
to Washington to inform an ignorant ma
ton about the psstiferous mic robes which
cause cholera. 1t pleased me to find that
the authorities knew that information con-
cerping cholera microbes could only be had
from o conference of ssnitarians. 1t also
grstified me to 6nd that our chief SANTA

benighted people.
But these pleasant thoughts were sue,
ceeded by others of q more sombre hue.

ian travelling for the public good was ex

i And then another cloud drove sll tn
sunshine from my mind. It occurred I,
me that I would like to travel gail,
through the country at the public expense
to be feasted at the public expense. and I,
have what might say printed at the pub
lic expense. Moreover, thought ID woul,
be very fne to be appreciated for once Il

meetings as the ''eminent sanftarium from
New Haven" And then came tn
mortHying reflection that ] had no

journey to Warrington at the public ez
penss, although nay labors in the cause o
sanitary science have been longer an
more arduous than those of any sanitaria

wonder what more convincing evidence
OF the unselashnees of eanitarians could
be wanted than the fact that our state
board of health Is zealously laboring to
secure the passage of q law which will
prevent any one from practising medicine
In Connecticut without q license from that
board, and for this license the paltry sum
Of 50 is all that Is demanded.
If o grain of selhshness animated our
noble state board of health they would
never have originated and procured the
presentation of this bill. If they wanted
to build q hopper wherewith TO run fees
into their own pockets. would they name
such q paltry fee az S2i No, air; not IL

Like all other sanitsrians, / believe In
goodness and unselfshness. But the weak
point with all of us scientists is that we
are in constant danger of being too good
and too unselfsh.
am fully convinced that we owe some
thing to our dignity. And 1t is certainly
beneath the dignity of a sanitarian to
accept fee of any kind, for any service
whatsoever, unless such fee is not less
than So. The So fee Is clearly an instance
OF undue ursel6shness. If We are not
going to have good fees what are we here
fort Why do we wear ourselves ont with
sanitary labcrsl Surely ''the labOrer Is
worthy of his hire"
Yea, verify, this lie him. But the tears
run In little creeks down my sanitary
cheeks when / reflect that no 'ihiren and
no ''offee" has thus far rewarded me for
my prolonged sanitary toll. Others get
we'll paid, but / have never learned the
curves and can't catch the ball.
There is sn old sdage that "misery loves
company" Its truth was ekemplihed yes
terday when / read an item of news from
Washington which stated that the new
Secretary of Agriculture had Just discharg-
ed ], ,040 ssnitsrians from his department
aud that each one of them had been draw
ing salary of 81, 200 year. Intelligence
that q regiment of my fellow scisntists
had lost their Offices and salaries
would ordinarily have filed my soul
with gloom, because 1t would look like q
successful attack on sanitary science.
But, IS the news came while was brood
ing over the ingrstitude of the public
toward me, must confess thst smiled
email, but a wicked smile. So you see
that sven scientist and a sanisslian is
sometimes subject TO the same weakness
as common people.

IMMISCIBILITY.

Immiscibility is good word, and 1t sp-
pears that it has been we'll and effectively
used by our State department.. 1t has been
80 we'll and so effectively used that those
who have thought this country wasn't
strong in diplomacy may see some reason
to change their minds. 1t is now plain
that in the correspondence between China
and this country concerning the Chinese
Exclusion act this country more than held
its own. The Acting Secretary of State,
Mr.. Wharton, pursuing course marked
out by the late Mr.. Blaine, made out "a
case" against the Chinese government,
which is to say the least very good one.
For the first time, go far as there has been
a record kept, the Chinese government has
been told that the Chinese in the United
States were until 1883 in the enjoyment of
more privileges than our own citizens could
secursfn China. According to Mr.. Wharton
the Chinese are themselves to blame for the
Scortisw of 1888 and the Geary law of
1892 They are blameworthy, he says, for
protesting against the law of 1899 Gin ad-
vance of fair trial of its workings" and
as we'll for raising technical objections to
the treaty proposed in 1883, and for claim
ing that the conduct of their race in this
country has not been suitable cause for
an international agreement accepting as
perfectly proper the provisions of our ex-
cIusion act All this is of course the ordl-
nary anti-Chinese argument, but before
Mr. Wharton has thus argued he is careful
to call attention to the relative positions
of the Chinese outside of China and the
| foreign. r. in China He declares that the
inherent simmifcibiiity" of the Mongoliar
and Caucasian races create- different CON

countries outside If China and for tn,
foreigners in China. He points out to tn
Chinese government that we and other ma
tions have stronger argument againe
Chinese immigration than the UNITED
4 States has ever before offered. This argu

Thu nId Sfaoe Road-

Il was long ago. but the young leaves gloved
In their sun gilt dew by the mountain road,
When the bee swung on from his blackberry
bloom,
When the partridge rose with hollox bcem,
And the rabbit peeped with his eyes ashine,
And the squirrel jetred from the kough o. pine,
And the thrush broke short In his half thrilled
song
As the grand red stagecoach ioltsd along
The old route over the mountain
It was long ago when the loud wheels passed.
Now thrushes may tinkie their chimes to the
last;
Now nothing troubles the wood hush lone;
The squirrel nibbles the seeds OF his cone,
The nfghthawk ruffies his breast In the sand,
The white birch leans with his silver wand,
And elfins tighten the brsmbles' lead,
And the clover blooms in the quilted road,
The cid route over the mountain.
And long ago at the end Of its route
The stage pulled up and the folks topped out
They have all passed under the tavern door,
The youth and his bride and the gray threescore
Their eyes were weary with dust and gleam;
The day had gone like an empty dream.
Soft may they slumber and trouble no more
On the old route over the mountainI
But an air breathes down from the midnight sky
With firefy lamps and a rushing sigh,
And passing whispers will murmur low
Secrets and giadness they used to know.
And often in winter the wind roars through
With thump and whistle and fierce halloo
And cracks the trestops and whirls the snow
Like phantom horses Of long ago
On the old route over the mountain.

IL would have been better for the emperor
to recall that at that very time the United
States was more generous to the Chinese
than China was to us, since China at that
time admitted foreigners at only twenty
two of her ports.
This, of course, doesn't prove that i'm
instability is good policy. But 1t does
show that China hasn't very good ground
for complaining of the immiscibility of
