the inroads of disease are the plumbing

The experienced architect is supposed
to have profited by the wisdom OF all
ages in the matter of house building and
have the details of construction resolved
into a science. Doubtless he has and, con-
sidering the many Disadvantages under
which he works. he makesvery few mis-
takes. Give him free rein and he can be
trusted to plan a house that will not only
satisfy all esthetic requireme nts, but will!
be thoroughly sanitary as well. The
great difficulty, however, Is that he is
generally rigidly circumscribed in the
matter of expense and required to give
the greatest amount of display for the
money. This means that many petty
economies must be practiced, and the
builders generally request that the cav
ing may be made in those parts that are
not visible to the ordinary beholder The
cellar is the very last part of the house
to be seen and it seems easy to cut out of
the plan a window or two in this place,
or take off a foot from the height of the
ceiling. But this is not the part of true
wisdom. 1t is better to try the economy
in fitmentS and furnishings above, or
leaving some Of the upper rooms that are
not imperatively needed entirely unfin-
ished. These can readily be completed
in after years without impa!ring the plar
OF the house. In general way, how
ever, the cellar must remain as origin
ally constructed. and for this reason its
main features must be above reproach
1t must be light and dry, thoroughly
ventilated and of sufficient height. The
ceiling should never be less than seven
feet, and nine is far better. damp

He cared little for the skill or common

With the increased knowledge of san
itary laws brought about by the close
and systematic study given to the sub
ject in recent years, 1t has come to be
generally recognized that one Of the lead
ing sources Of danger to health in the
home Is the cellar. In the older times
no attention whatever was given to the
cellar, save to gee that 1t was commodi-
GUS enough to contain the odds and ends
that usually found storage there. 1t was
thought sufficient to make it a mere
"hole in the ground" rooted over from
the elements by the structure itself, and
furnishing a place that tlwaS particularly
suitable from its equable temperature
for the storage of food and household
supplies that need to be kept cool in sum-

happily, this Is all changed. The man

Of this government have had to en-
counter. Ahvote was Piute He was
more. He was a Piute nursing griev-
ance against not only the white man,
but his own tribesmen.
A BROTHERS CRIME
Ten years ago Ahvote had brother.
When little brown papooses they had
gamboled and skipped about the plains
of northern Colorado, and with the few
seceders from the main tribe of Piutes
had settled in the mining district Of Ari-
zona near the great river There they
grew to manhood, If such thing could
be said of Piute. At any rate they
reached years of maturity. Ten years
ago Ahvote's brother shot and killed a
white man. With yell of defiance and
triumph he lodged the fire of the in
furiated miners of Ell Dorado and fled to
the Businesses of the canyons. Here he
was safe from any pursuit but that Of
an Indian.
But he was not safe from that. The
white men held council and decided
that the slayer must be brought to JUS
tice. They must take speedy and stern
action or all their lives would pay the
penalty Dallying with the Indian when
the taste for blood gets into his throat
Is more dangerous than sleeping with
a man-eating tiger. Hence it was de-
cided that the murderer must be found
The tribe wac notified that unless. sat-
isfactory evidence were furnished of the
death of the fleeing criminal the whole
branch would be tossed into the raging
river. powwow was held and the In
dians notified the white brother" that
what he said was good; the Indians
would find and punish the slayer.
Then there was another powwow. All
vote was present. He favored depart
ing with the rest of the tribe and leaving
the white man to execute his own ven
geance But the tribesmen were obdu
rate. They wanted to remain there, and
the law of the Indians was, invoked to
punish the murderer. That law provides.
that when death is inflicted by one In
dian he must be punished by hie nearest
relative. Ahvote was chosen as execu-
tioner of his brother. Here is an example
of the nature of the Indian. Ahvote up
held the laws of his tribe and stoicalIy
set forth to keep the vow forced upon
him. He trailed his brother, guarded
against surprise and death for himself,
and carried back the head of his child
hoods playmate for the white man to
see.
TEN LIVES FOR ONE

apart from all his friends and kinsmen.

wrongs. For ten years he sat and

And out upon the open sea

Swept onward. with a fainter strain.
As echoing the dream again.

Outpoured upon The night
That silence seemed listener
O'erleaning with delight
The slender moon, finger tip
Upon the portal of her lip.

AURoRA AND 70 BELOW FAC.

~
During Winter In the Yukon 4f,a
Day Is Only Four Hours L0mE.
During the winter months the aurora
ON the Yukon is very brilliant and irtenses
ly beautiful. It commences early in The
fan, and LASTS. with more or less brill
fancy, throughout the long arctic winter.
It generally begins upon the setting OF the
sun, although in mGdwtnter 1t has some-
times been so bright that 1t was visible
at noon while the sun was shining bright
ly. The rays of the light first shoot forth
with a quick, quivering motion. are then
gathered, and form great arch Of fire
spanning the heavens. 1t CLOVIS for an
instant like q girdle of FURNISHED rold.
then, Unfolding, great curtains of fight
drop forth, says the Alaska News.
These royal lnantles of bright orange.
green, pink, rose, yellow and crimson are
suspended and waved between heaven and
earth as with am invisible hand. The raptd
gyrations and scintillattons of light and
blending colors are intensely bewdldering
and superbly beautiful The whole phe-
nomena OF waving wreaths, pickering
flames, rays, curtains, fringes, bands and
flashing colors, the strange confusion of
light and notion now high On the heav-
ems, then dropping like curtain OF gold ana
silver lace, sparkling with wealth Of ru-
bies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds,
penetrating dark gulches and darling
through somber green forests, lighting
the whole landscape as with a thousand
electric lamps, forms a picture OF which
words can convey but a very poor idea.
This unwarming light, as 1t flashes along
the frozen rivers, the great banks of snow,
and reveals the huge mountains OF glis-
tening Ice and black lines of fir, indeed,
is of the purest arctic cast, and causes
one to button his coat closer over his
chest, and with n shiver he is glad to
seek light of less brilItancy but one of life
giving warmth. a#
At the breaking up of winter the hours
of sunshine are rapidly increasing, and
continue so until midsummer, when the
sun beams forth % hours out of the "a,
while ON the high mountain peaks it Is
for a period of several days in June not
entirely out of sight during the "a hours.
During the months of July and August
the weather becomes very warm, and
even hot and miners are glad to seek
a shady retreat in which to do their labor.
After this period the hours of sunshine
gradually decrease, until, during the
shortest days, the sun shines but four
hours out of the "a. But at this period
the aurora is very intense, and helps very
materially in driving darkness from that
dneary land. The thermometer registers
70 degrees below zero in winter, but the
atmosphere is very dry, and consequently
the cold is not perceptible as one would

closing Of this old fort, there is matter
for congratulation that the Hudson's Bay
Company is still at the head of traders
of British Columbia. Its massive struc-
lures at Vancouver, Victoria and Kam-
loops are mute evidences of the progress
not only Of the company itself, but of
British Columbia also. And, what is

IRUsH THE NICARAGUA CANAL
Great Project should Enlist the Pat
riotfsm OF the Country.

It Is gratifying to know that the Mica
ragua canal bin Is to be aroused from its
siumber and once more pushed to the
front, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. It has been feared that this bin
would be permitted to sleep indefinitely
upon the house calendar II Il now re-
ported that petition has been addressed
TO Speaker Reed asking that an early day
be set aside for its Consideration. This
petition Is signed by more than 200 repub-
leans and 80 democrats. Congressman
Maihon of Pennsylvania, a member Of the
subcommittee that drafted the bill, ex-
presses the fullest confidence In the abil-
dty OF the friends Of the measure to secure
Tor 1t a practically unanimous vote
1t Is to be hoped that this prediction will
be verified. This great tnteroceanic canal
project should arouse and enlist the pa
triotie pride Of the entire country This
enterprise ought not to be embarrassed by
any politicalprejudice or party jealousies.
IL is extremely unfortunate, for this rea-
son, that the present administration has
thrown the full weight of it's influence
against the contamination of this splendid
scheme, The enemies of the enterprise
have thus found announcement where
they should have received only rebuke.
The commission appointed by the prasl-
dent to investigate as, to the practicability
of the project made a predetermined adj
verse report But 1t was subsequently
proved that they did not visit the canal
territory, and that their so-called tour of
inspection was a mere junketing trip at
the expense of the government. All OF the
objections urged against the canal by this
ex parte commission were shown 10 be
groundless and worthless.
Z The few American opponents of this
measure have worked dn suspicious mar
mony with the interests Of the English
syndicate, who conceived and exploited
an alternative project by magnifying The
engineering difficulties involved In the
American plan. and by exaggerating the
embarrassing financial feature OF the en-
terise. The engineering difficulties have,
however, been fully investigated and ex-
planned, and shown to be of such a char-
acter as can readily be surmounted The
financial problem is fully solved by the
government guarantee provided for in the
bill now under discussion.
This bill should be promptly pushed to
dts passage. Our interests dn the Pacific,
together with exigencies Of our CONNER
cial and diplomatic relations with Central
and South America, demand the speedy
contamination of this grand interoceanic
waterway.

LAUGHTER SOMETIMES A DISEASE.
1t Occasionally Produces UntOwnFd
and Dangerous Results.

Is laughter a disease? 1t sometimes is
unquestionably so, and 1t has been known
to cause death, says the New York World.
Some eminent neurologists have declared
even moderate laughter a symptom of
nervous hysteria, and therefore abnormal
and Indicative of something wrong.
European physicians are now busy
discussing the case of a man in Aus
tralia who is suffering from a nervous
disease which manifests itself in parox-
ysms of laughter. He is about 80 years
old, and for several years has been affiict-
cd with uncomfortable fits of laughter,
which occurred every few months. These
gradually increased in frequency, until
now he laughs dozen or more times a
day. in fact, he is laughing nearly all OF
the time
In the intervals between attacks the
man is perfectly we'll, When an attack
comes on it first manifests itself in a
tickling at the extremity of the toes of
the left foot. The man began laughing,
and, as the tickling sensation extended
up the body his laughter became uncons
trollable. When the feeling reached the
level of the breast the man lost con-
seriousness for a short time, after which
he fully recovered. These attacks usu-
ally lasted about two minutes. While
they continued the man laughed in a
forced and mirthless way.
DR.. George F. Shrady of 8 East Sixty
sixth street, the eminent specialist, says
that he has heard of such cases. but he
has never seen a man who laughed too
mucL.
Laughter is a function when it is nor

can not be controlled. AS DIR. oliver
Wendell Holmes SAL the human system
is run by both water power and wind pow
err Tears typify the water and laughter
the wind. suppose one power is as natu-
raj as the other, and each is equally
normal and harmless. Laughter is merely
ex cess of enjoyment. 1t becomes a dis
ease only when its character has chang

Who cry too much and too easily, and
thale are others whose loud laughter can
be heard all through the building. Such
laughter is a symptom of insanity and is

aids digestion, and that 1t acts beneficially
