Two years ago New York was face
to face with the most serious cholera
scare that it has ever experienced.
The experience of that unhappy
period is not one to be looked back
upon with pride or satisfaction; but
some important lessons were learned
then and have not been forgotten.
The need of vigilance in guarding
against the invasion of the dread-in-
spring disease is not less now than at
any time in the past, though with
proper care in detention and inspec-
ton at ports on the other side of the
ocean there is no reason why any
cases Of cholera should even approach
our shores.

THE eastern boundary OF Alaska,
which separates the United States
from British territory, and is 600
miles in length, has been mapped out
and determined to the satisfaction of
both this country and Great Britain.
When it is remembered that 500, 00l,-
600 worth of furs and salmon and
s., 600, 900 worth of gold and silver
have been shipped since Alaska came
into our possession. and consider also
what this means in the FIGURE, it is
gratifying to know that vexed ques-
ton has been settled. Disputes-over
boundaries are sometimes raised at
very inopportune times.

THE Society for the Advancement Of
Science, which recently met in Brook
Ign, has not lived in vain. Two of its
members, inspired, no doubt, by the
erudition that dripped from the nu-
merous able papers read, determined
to investigate the notorious Mapleton
ghost that has kept the teeth of the
western part of Long Island chattering
for, 10, these many months. Their
pursuit, aided by others, has finally
developed a figure of straw, covered
with white sheet. The groans and
means and shrieks, supposed to come
from this octurnal prowler, We're
found to have come from the carefully
concealed ghost workers. Another
triumph of the Society for the Ad-
vancement Of Science.

finished by a bow at the left side.
This gown is peculiarly adapted to
the stout figure, as it produces a long

the narrow belt, the tight fitting bodice,
without any fullness whatever, and by
the vertical trimming. The back of the
corsage Is garnished in the same man

An admirable gswn in this style could
be fashioned II dark blue English serge,

be made Of the new black and white
