The storm severe at staten Island.

New YoRK, Jan. 26.-The storm which
visited Staten Island last night was quite u
severe one. The wind came out from the
sea and blew very strong breeze, accom-.
panied by thick snow storm which,
during the early morning settled into a
driving rain, flooding streets and cutters
and causing great discomfort to those who
were compelled to walk to the early trains
for the ferry. An unusual high tide pre-
walls along the Staten Island shores this
morning but no damage has been reported
AT a. M, a dense fog set in which en-.
veloped the upper and lower bay.

No NONE Ir4rER POLLUTION.
A Bill to be Introduced in Congress Pro-
wding for the Purity OF streams.

\ communication has been received by
Edmund Il. Frazer, secretary of the State
Board of Health, from DIR. Toman of the
state Board of Health of Missouri In this
letter DR.. Toman suggests the adviSability
of appointing national commission to
look into the question of the pollution of
streams. He says that one of the Missouri
Congressman will soon introduce bill
into the House providing for the appoint.
ment OF this commission.
The main object of the bill is to prevent
the pollution Of water in States and by
communities in which the water is not
used. The lrandywine. for instance, is
polluted in Pennsylvania and the Della.
ware authorities have been unable to in
duce the Board of Health of Pennsyl-
vania to take any action on the question.

have had the greatest influence upon its

from Maria Stuart down to Queen Victoria
and from George Eliot back to Catherine
OF Russia. The best answer, 1t was CON

more than she talks. She said Eve and
the Virgin Mary" This was greeted with
applause, and 10 was conceded that she mad
won the prize.
This bit OF gossip was told. When the
'Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was being
played at san Francisco, q bright club
man said that 1t ought to have an addi-

was. and he answered. THE Second Mrs.

One woman said. Being well-born, we'll
bred and well-dressed.' Another descrip-
tion was this: "A gentlewoinan is a woman
whose voice is never heard except by the
person to whom she is speaking. Who has
plenty of small talk, but no curiosity. Who
shows by her quiet smile that she appre-
Ciates that which is amusing, but who
never laughs loudly. Whose gowns are
suited to the time and occasion, and who
never bores one with personalities"
Still another was, "A gentlewoman is
always neat in her dress, quiet in her
manner and reposeful in her effect. She
is kind and good, unseltish ami loving

"A geutlewoman is womanly."

is really greater strain Oh the intellect

are some things thai l would like to know,
but never expect to lind out. This is my
first query.
PROBLEMS OF THE DAY.
Why do women prefer to write the nasty
novels they do now, instead of honoring
| themselves by putting their names to those
that would teach all women to be better

| Why do men insist upon their wives
dressing and behaving as quietly as posi-.

TO their admiration of some loudly dressed.

Why do women teach their daughters to
be virtuous and only find it necessary to
teach their sons to be honest?
Why do the men who are passionate
! lovers usually become such tiresome hus
