YELLOW FEVER.

Dr. Doty, the health officer Of the port Of New York, has a paper in the current North American Review on The Scientific Prevention of Yellow rever." To begin with, Dr. Dcty as sures US that the fear Of catching the disease by contagion is grCundless. Yellow fever is not communicated from person to person like scarlet fever. In an infected locality nurses and physi clans who contract. the disease do so not from cor5act with the patients, but because they are exposed to the same conditions that caused the patients slckness The climatic conditions for the existence of yellow fever are not yet known certainly, but the local re- quiremnts there is no doub. about they are filth and defective drainage. Dr. Doty is sure that when Havana and the other West Ino.an cities tha, arc subject 10 the pestilence are properly drained ard cleaned there will TO longer be any danger from the fever. Yellow fever is starved by cleanliness. The case of Santos is adduced in proof. SGulOS, d c9ty Ou 't.lS SOuC49In tIu 6lI the Brazilian coast, was for long time noted as the worst fever hOle in ,he world Ships would put in there, and whole crews would die; sailors were afraid to ship on a boat bound fer that po1a Now, however, with good sys- tenn cf docks and sewerage, the death rate from fever is rapidly decreasing, and i. is hoped that the fever will b. effecSually stamped out. Memphis un- der Col. Waring had much the same ex- pcricnce.
 |, is net only the cities of the West Indies, but also the cities of cur own southeast thao Dr. Doty says must be overhauled. This being done and a na- tional health bureau established for the purpose of harmonizing the action of the various quarantine stations, Dr. Dcty thinks that the danger to the United S,ates from yellow fever will be reduced 0 nothing, and that commerce will cease to be hampered by unncces sary quarantine regulations.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Love is like a butterfy-it was prob ably a lot more comfortable when it was Q worm.
 The average woman doesn't want her husband to be just; what she wan.s is for him to love her.
 If there are women who can make 8 fool of every man, thero are ether wc- men who can make man of every fool.
 Befcr9 a man falls in love he won ders how a woman would suit him tor a wife: after he falls in love he wcn- ders how he would suit a woman for q husband.

GEORGE MEREDITH's COTTAGE.

Although not in an unpleasant sense Of the word a recluse, MT. George Mer- edith, the novelist, prefers to spend bis life in his cottage on Box hill just out side London. in Surrey county, rather than amid '5hc tCil and hustle of Lcn- don. Still. his tall, rugged presence may occasionally be met sauntering down the Strand, and he as often as not chaparones his pretty daughter to an important first night or private view.
 Although not a mile from the station, Mr. Mcrcdith's home, is off the main road. and is approached by g grassy path leading up tho hill.
 This vine covered house in which MT Mer5 di-h has now lived for 90 many years, depends for its interess on the delicate ta9te and intelligence which governs all it's internal arrangements. More French than English in his love of dainty perfection and thoroughness MT. Meredith has not allowed any of the greenery yallery coloring or utter

THE SENATE AND THE TREATY.

The Chicago Chronicle, a democratic
 newspaper, bitterly opposed to expsn-
 sion, gives to the opponents of the
 Paris treaty in the Senate some good
 advice It points out that this nation,
 through it's representatives a, Paris,
 mas elected to take over the Philippine
 islands, and popular opinion appears
 to indorse the decision" What then is
 to be gained by a facti0us opposition to
 policy which anyway will be carried out?
 l Rejection Of the treaty would lead to this situation: We should still, under
 the terms Of the protocol, be left in quasi possession Of the Philippines, but our tenancy would be merely pendente lite, so to speak. We would be respon- sible for the maintenance of order without real authority to enforce it. There would be Gn indefinite period dur irg which Aguinaldo would continue to swirl his fingers at his nose in defiance of Spanish and American authority alike. We should De taking all tue kicks a:ld getting none Of the half pence, fer the revenues Of the archipel- ago would necessarily be held in es- crow pending 9 final settlement O. sov- ereignty.
 In the mean time, says The Chronicle, another commission would have to be sent to Paris or elsewhere, and the dreary farce Of the last three months would begin again" with .ne Spaniards encouraged to IoEew demands which would net, Of course, be granted. In the mean time, too, cur military and naval establishments would have to be maintained On a war fCcting, because with the rejection of the treaty We should once more be technically at war with Spain. The nation would be irri- tated and kept on edge for months perhaps ycars-and the outcome in the end would be the same. We should take the Philippines, though we should take them with the handicap caused by a paTiod of uncertainty during which the insurgents would have been per fecting their preparations to resist the authority Of the United States or of Spain, as the case might be.
 Is it net something worse than Quix- o~ic 10 fight against the inevitable when such combat involves the con- tinued agitation of a question which is already settled by the popular verdict of the nation?
 There is another thing. We have held the powers of Europe aloof, and they have not dared to intervene be- tween this government and Spain. That is true alike of the war and also during the peace negotiations. But if the treaty were rejected and the sus- pense continued indefinitely, the pow CTS might have reason to represent that our government was unable to make peace, and that an indefinite continU- ance Of a state Of war was disastrous to International commerce. That sure ly is a contingency to be avoided sedu- lOuSly

It is time when every one will ex- cuze everybody else fer talking about the weather. The United States has seen more tempest to the square acre within the last week than often marks its meteorological history. The stormy November and the beginning Of Decem- Der will be quoted for many years as phenomenal. The past fortnight has seen abnormal snowfalls, gales blowing great guns, an awful tale of shipwreck and loss Of life at sea, hardship and distress on land, and the disoTganiza- ton of ,ransp portation in great cities.

1t seems almost incredible that the human had has such strong electrical qualities that it gives out an electric light like an incandcsccnt lamp, but That is what is shown by photographic nlatss made by Prof. Adrien Maiewski, the famous Parisian scientist The pictures which I have obtained, ,' the professor said, "have been made by the simple process Of placing my hand over 9 sensitive pla,-e in a dark room.
