Keep out Of Danger.

As this is the season when all types Of
contagious fegers are likely 70 prevail in all
localities-where diphtheria, measles and
o;her malignant ailments are reported, 10
which cholera and even yellow fever may
be added. national, state and city boards Of
health are properly soIicitous 10 have it un-
derstood that no act Of indisc7etiOn is more
TO be condemned than that Of people visit
NJ such localities or domiciles. Il is not
demanded OF any one 10 visit house IN
which q case Of contagious disease exists.
When doctors are asked to attend patients
suffering from any type Of contagious dis
ease II is fncumbeut on them, as laid down
in the regulations Of all boards of health,
that they change their clothing, or 50 disin-
lect their bodies as 20 Tehder il i'm
possible 10 carry any oftae germs of disease
from one sick room 10 another. II this is
urged on physicians in the course Of their
practice. how much more Necessary IS 1t for
people generally 10 refrain from yenturing
into localities where pestilence Of any de-
gree prevails The natural disposition Of
almost all so-called '' good hearted people
IS TO show their sympathy for the afflicted
by hurrying TO their aid, which is really not
wanted, and then return 70 their own homes
10 distribute the germs Of the same diseas .
there. which probably under more prudent
action would not have contracted il. Hence
the attempt Of health authorities to restrain
/ we'll people from rushing into the midst Of
con,agion and bear ia hence to spread il IN
I regions far beyond. II the theory that a
I iy can carry a disease IN rs tiny wings and
/ drop il elsewhere Is cJrrect, how much more
/ If such distempers can be borne in all di-
rections on the clothing Of persons. Stay
away then from localities and buildings in
which pes;ilence is raging Do not attend
/ funerals Of people who died from malignant
diseases. Il is the only way 10 cheek CON-
/ tagiOn, and when this rule Of action Il en-
/ forced then q1araaiining against all types

The announcement made 8 year or two ago that Jay Gould would sit for his portrait in oil to the French artist, Benjamin Constant, created considers. ble surprise among Wall street men, who knew something of Gould's charac- teristics and his disinclination to have his features reproduced. It was only a few months before his death that his family were able to induce him to sit for photograph, and the photographer he patronized was in the immediate neigh borhood of the Grand Central depot and was selected because that location represented less loss of time than any other in the city. The result was very satisfactory, and the photographer ob- tained MT. Gould's permission to put the photographs on sale.
 Ten years ago there was no such thing as photograph of MT. Gould, at least as New York knew him, in existence. Some of his associates wanted his pie ture to put upon telegraph bond, and he would give them no assistance what ever. In fact, he good naturedly op- posed the idea, and they were as good naturedly intent on carrying it out. Finally photograph of MT. Gould was secured, showing him very young man with flowing tie and an old fashioned coat. An artist got to work on this, and it was fixed up in shape so that it could be used. There was picture of Mir. Gould extant which shows him with an abundance of curly black hair and 8 very large quantity of black beard. This was contained in a fashy volume on New York life and New York men. 4.NsW YurR World,

When Greek Met Russ.

A Greek vessel was lying at anchor not long since in harbor in the Black sea, and being a rather suspicious craft an .ex- else officer was ordered to keep watch on its movements. The captain was anxious to perform some illegal operation with his ballast, but he found it impossible to es- cape the vigilance of the officer. so deter mined to make 1t worth his while to wink both his eyes. As, however, the Russian understood no Greek and the Greek was quite ignorant of Russian, the proposal had to be made in dumb show. After indicat- ing in pantomime what he wanted to do with the ballast the skipper wrote down en piece of paper. "ten rubles." The excise officer read the paper, and then promptly wrote underneath it, HOO rubles." This was more than the Greek felt inclined to pay, and the negotiations fell through. The affair, however, reached the ears of the authorities, and the Greek was arrested. In court he rounded" on his accuser by producing the document which had been the medium of negotiation between them,
 "Did you write thisf" asked the judge of the witness, as he pointed to the words HOO ru bles."
 "I did," stolidly answered the officer
 .Then you demanded bribe?" retorted the judge in his severest tones.
 By no means" answered the astute Russian "The prisoner offered me ten rubles and told him would not do what he wanted for 100 rubles. "-Boston Globe.

Why Musicians "Tune Up. :,

A correspondent asks, "Why do musi- clans tune their instruments alter in- stead of before coming into the orches- tra?''
 It is mistake to imagine there is no tuning of the instruments before coming into the orchestra, Violinists, double bass players and violas If professionals or good amateurs) keep their instruments, as a rule, up to concert pitch, the differ ence of temperature, the loosening of a peg or variation in the tension of the strings necessitating another tuning when in the orchestra. Strings of cat gut are materially affected by moisture, which swells them laterally and tends to shorten them. Damp heat sharpens the strings, while dry heat f1attens them.
 Concert rooms, according to the state of the weather, experience both condi- tions. Hence so much tuning and play ing as soon as in the orchestra is neces- sary to get the instruments accustomed to the temperature of the room. Wood wind instruments, such as oboes, clari- nets and bassoons, sharpen from the swelling of the wood by the warm, moist breath of the performer. The brass instrument also sharpens by the heat of the performers breath.-London Tit Bits

Little Eddie's Ideas Confused.

Little Eddie Kline was early in his seat in the infant class of the Simpson Metho- dist Episcopal Sunday school. Brooklyn, on a recent Sunday. For awhile he was all attention but gradually his thoughts re- verted to the coming Fourth, it's celebra- tions and it's flags. Suddenly the teacher asked:
 "Now, children, can any of you tell what God created on the fourth day2''
 Instantly little Eddie's hand went up.
 "Well, Eddie" said the teacher, "you may answer. "What was it that God ere ated on the fourth days"
 "Firecrackersr' exclaimed Eddie tri- umphantly. "No," he added quickly, per ceiving he had made some mistake, "the stars and stripes"
 It was some time before the teacher suf- fciently recovered her composure to be { able to explain that the fourth day wit messed the creation of the sun, moon and stars, and not explosives nor bunting- New York Sun.

He CRyed.

We were going through Canada, and as soon as we entered the queens dominions Q St. Louis man who was in the smoking car with us began to talk.
 No petticoat government for me-" he was saying. 'Iwant to get out of this coun- try quick as I can. Itell you, gentle men, never did believe in petticoat gov ernment; women are all right in their prop CT spheres, but when it comes to govern ment"--
 At this moment the car door opened, and through the volume of smoke stern wis aged, spectacled woman presented herself
 "Is that you, Hirami I guess you've smoked about enough. Come back into the sleeper. It makes me sick and dizzy to stay here. Come, hurry up," and she held the door open while she waited
 And Hiram meekly followed her without single protest against the home article of petticoat government.-Detroit Free Press

Boston Her Standard.

The following story is told me of a little girl who spent some weeks in a visit among relatives in this city not long ago. When the days of her visit ended she returned 10 her home in Maine. A few days later there was a camp meeting ia the immediate neigh borhood of her home, and she frequently attended with her mother, She heard inany glowing descriptions of the beau Lies of the heavenly land, and she be- came enthusiastic over the prospect of such glorious future home. One day, unable to restrain herself longer, she said to her mamma: Let's hurry up and set to heaven before its filled up. I want to go there. If it's anything like Boston I shall never want to come back."-Boston Globe,

Discipline.

The true soldier obeys orders faithfully. no matter at what sacrifice. A company of British regiment was once sent on some duty in time of peace to remote vii lage in Ireland, and left there for several weeks quite separated from its usual base of supplies.
 During this period some general orders, applicable more especially to men in bar racks, were sent to the commander of the company, One clause of those orders was as follows:
 "All men in the command shall change their shirts at least twice a week"
 The captain gave orders to the orderly sergeant,to see this command put into exc tion.
 But, captain," said the sergeant, t'there's only shirt apiece to every man in the company. How can they"-
 "Silence" exclaimed the captain; Cor ders are orders, sergeant. Let the men change shirts with one another"
 So the sergeant saw to it that, as long as the company remained in the place, on every Sunday and Wednesday morning the soldiers swapped shirts with one another. Youths Companion.

Whimsical Children.

Children are supposed to be the most whimsical creatures in the world, and yet there have been grown men who were quite as much so as any child that ever lived. The writer knows little girl who cannot go to sleep unless she has piece of rubber held between her thumb and iorefnger, which some persons con- sider to be whimsical in the extreme, but what have these to say of Haydn, one of the greatest of composers of music, who could not put two notes together until he had dressed himself in his best suit and had his hair powdered, and who de- clared that without 8 certain diamond ring, the gift of Frederick II of Prussia, on his finger he could not begin to work, since he could not summon single idea into his head? Other composers have been equally whimsical.-Harper's Ba- gar
