F. G.. Zacharie, attorney for the
Louisiana state board of health has
given a decision regarding quaran-
tine that it will pay local boards to
read before establishing a quaran-
tine.s After discussing the rights OF
local boards, the opinion says:
boards of health have no power to
declare non-iutercourse, or to enact
unreasonable health regulations. In
establishing and maintaining quaran-
tines they can only establish quaran-
tine stations, and there compel per-
sons, goods, ETC., TO be detained,
dlsintected, etc., 10 a reasonable
manner, and during a reasonable
delay. ANY person presenting him.
self at such station or stations ready
and willing to submit himself and his
goods, and confer to such reasonable
regulations, has the undoubted right
to enter the locality. No board OF
health can exercise arbitrary and
absolute power IN such matters.
The United States supreme court and
the State supreme courts have fire.

tell many a story, says a writer in the
London Mail. | remember one in par
ticular, in which Lord Charles Beres-
ford, now in this country, was con-
cerned. The scene was in Egypt, dur
ing the Nile campaign of 1885. Butler
got into a discussion with Beresford
as to the proper channel that should
be taken by their steamer in descend
ing through one of the cataraCts. Each
obstinately defended his own course.
But in the end that which Butler in
sisted upon was adopted, and the
steamer got through without accident.

Redvers, mine was the right course"
THAT was mine, too" coolly replied

Told of the Sultan's Navy.

A good story is told of a Turkish
man-of-War which was ordered to
Malta. When the captain had got his
ship clear Of the Bosphorus, It struck
him that it would be as well If he knew
where Malta was, for he had noe the
slightest idea. SO he inquired of a
passing vessel, whose captain offered
to point it out on the chart. But the
Turkish captain preferred to follow a
vessel which he knew was about to
sail for that port.
Unfortunately fog came on, and
when it cleared off the vessel in front
was no longer the same, though the
captain knew it not. For days he fol-
lowed the ship, and at last reached
port, when, addressing the authorities
that came on board, he said, Malta,
l prcsume?"
"Oh, no." was the reply. This is
Liverpool"

appeared before the house her father
took her out to view the creatures an
tics. expecting that she would be much
amused but after a single glance the
little maid hid her eyes against her
fathers coat skirts and refused to look
again, seeming much frightened and
distressed.
He soothed and coaXed her. wishing
to overcome her fears but for some
time in vain. She would not for a mo-
ment think Of feeding the monkey with
a biscuit, as she was urged to do; in
deed, she would not even lift her
face.
But you are really very silly" the
father said at last turning to take her
indoors. "IIe is such a harmless little
animal"
