mace. Have the registers closed in every
room. Remove all the cinders and
ashes and clean out all the tiues and
pipes Many houstkeepers have the
pipes removed, but the smoke pipe is
really the only one that it is necessary to
take down. This pipe is liable to rust,
because of the moisture it gathers from
the chimney; nevertheless, if there be
no way of heating and drying the house
during cold, damp period in summer
except by building fire in the furnace,
it would be cheaper to renew this smoke
pipe every few years than run the risk
of having the family made i'll from re-
ceiving chill. While the men are in the
house to clean the furnace it would be
economy to have them clean the tlues in
the range and also the chimneys. Oper

TO REPRESS CONTAGIOUS DIS
EASES.

Health Commissioner Reynolds on
Tuesday last mailed to every physi-
clan in the city the following letter
asking him to cooperate with the
Health Department in preventing
the spread of contagious diseases:
!. As Commissioner of Health l realize that
4 the only persons in the community who
give intelligent and systematic attention
TO the prevention of disease are the medi-
cal practitioners. Physicians devote from
one eighth to one third of their time, their
strength and their talent to charity in
caring for those who are unable or unwill-
ing to pay, and l sympathize with them
when the law requires from them service
without remuneration in reporting to the
Health Department all contagious diseases
existing in their practice. Being unable to
offer any remedy at present, ] must appeal
to the self sacrificing spirit of the profes
sion to be faithful In this particular
and aid in the important work OF isolat-
ing such cases and as far as possible de-
stroying the germs of infection In con-
tagious diseases, where cards are posted,
this department will lend every aid pos
sible as to their prompt removal when the
all danger of contagion is passed. In ad-
dition to reporting the usual contagious
diseases, ! desire you to report cases OF
typhoid fever, so our inspectors can In

ventable. ARTHUR r. REYNOLDS. NJ D.

1T IS A WONDERFUL PLAY.

The great ballet spectacle, "Ameri-

audiences at the Auditorium. Thea
ter-goers of the city and enyirons
should see the piece before the crowds
from the country begin to arrive.
Seats will probably be at premium
then, and it may be no easy matter to
enjoy the spectacle with comfort.
The management is arranging for
the introduction o. new specialties
during the season. Next Monday,
Madame Lucie Palicot, distin-
guished French pianist and COM

as performer on the Pedalia piano.
She will appear at each per-

Madame Palicot comes to this coun-
try with the enthusiastic indorse-

great deal of squeaking and squealing
was done. At last it was settled that
the mice in the half of the world
where they lived must be invited to
join them at the great feast.
So the invitations were written on
lovely mouse-colored paper, and sent
off by their swiftest runners, with
charges to look out for stray cats,
solemn owls and night hawks. And
they were all to meet at the North

ran and ran until at last they reached
the North Pole, where a great giant
lived who was king of the snow and
ice When he saw them coming he
asked them whert they were travel

were going to picnic in the moon, he
laughed so long and so loud that the
ice cracked all around ITEM, and the
po ar bears, the seals, and the wal
ruses who had gone to bed came out
to see what had happened. "Oh,
that will be delightful" said he;
"and 1 will help you. I'll just push
up the pole till it reaches Jupiter,
then you can all jump from Jupiter
to Mars, and travel through his
canals, but be careful not to touch at
Sirius, 70, that is the dog star and

Well, the giant helped them, and
they did as he told them, and at last
they all landed safely on the moon,
and although it was pretty cold they
began to nibble very fast; and they

This is the most remarkable thing about

to account for its formation. One scien-

that it was deposited en- the same prin-

The most acceptable hypothesis, how
ever, is that the whole body OF water in
which it is found is thoroughly chilled
by mechanical action of the currents of
the stream, and that the anchor ice then
naturally forms on the stones and other
rough bodies at the bottom. After this

The presidents Of all the Chicago roads

The matter was ostensbly left in the hands

presidents took matters in their own hands

approve them, and they will then be formally
adopted as the regular rates to the EXPOSE

rate will be adopted but it will either be one

probabilities in favor of the former. The
presidents have been compelled to take the
question into their own hands, because of the
impending danger of general demoraliza.

were afraid would bring ra'es too low for
