His Plea Enr Water

IF there is anything l dislike" re-
marked Colonel Stilwell, wiping his
mustache with impressive deliberation,
lit is a bigoted person. Some of the
people at my home in Kentucky came
very near taking permanent offense at
me, but l held out and finally con-
vinced them"
What was the discussion abOutY'
1T was the old controversy. Some
body mentioned water, and Judge Nor
gan stated his opinion that it was
something that ought to be abolished.
The major argued for it's use in moder-
alton, but the judge wouldn't have it.

but / stated my arguments and clinch-
ed them so that he had to give in.
called his attention to the greatachieve-
ments which all the world is now en-
gagged in applauding. l recalled to his
mind the glories of our naval heroes,
the men who are so proud of their
country, the men of whom their coun-
try is so proud. Then l pointed my
finger at the judge and asked him how
those naval heroes could have done
these glorious deeds if there hadn't
been plenty of water for them to sail
their ships Washington Star.

He Wasn't ssSoaked -

when | go over to the old country l
am going to get a lot of clothes to
bring back with me-" said a well
known Windsorite, who went abroad
recently.
"Oh,' said his hearer, "if that is the
case, l have a brother who is a tailor
in London, and l will give you a letter
OF introduction and write him telling
him to use you right
In course of time the traveller step
ped into the tailor shop in London and
presented his letter of introduction.
He got warm handshake from the
tailor, who said he had received a let
ter from his brother telling of the
travellers expected arrival. but could
not understand part of the letter. The
letter, when produced, read:
Dear BrOther-The bearer. Mr.. -.
Is from our place and wishes to get a
lot of clothes in London. He has all
sorts of money. Soak him. Yours af-
fectionately.''
The part of the letter that could not
be understood was the concluding
phrase. The traveller of course under
stood the Americanism, but managed
to keep his face straight while he gave
1t a favorable construction. He saved
the laugh until he could have it on his
American friend. - Chicago Inter

fawning In n Theater

nave you ever observed at a thea+ar
or concert that the people who are
most deeply interested appear between
the acts to be quite weary of the whole
thlng' yawning half a dozen times in
succession? The reason of this is q
physiological one When your attan-
uon Is much absorbed in anything OK.
cltlng or touching, you breathe in a
very shallow manner and take into
your lungs only half enough air. Con-
sequently, when your attention is re.
laxed, you have to make up tbe do
nclency. This you do by yawninp
winch, after all, is only breathing a
very deep breath.
III you watch a man at a play and
observe that he is greatly moved bv
some incident. you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh. and
a moment or two later yawn repeated
~ or course the yawning. so far
from being a sign of WEAKNESS. is q
PROOF OF the liveliest appreciation.

Trains. Worry, Disease and Death.

Late trains are a source of annoyance
20 everybody. The British Medical
Journal dwells upon the very serious
result produced by them upon the
health of travellers. The rush to the
station to catch the train which may
perchance be punctual; the weary wait
on drafty platforms or in stuffy wait
ing rooms; the dilatory jOurney-all
these, we are told, add seriously to the
labor of the day even in the best of
times, but when the weather is cold
and damp they are still more injurious
and in that they are largely responsible
for those ''colds," as they are called,

port of his visit to Havana under The
special instructions of the war depart.
ment, given him early last autumn, t.
inspect the sanitary condition 5of the
city and to make such recommends.
tions for the future improvement of the
town as might be suggested. ~ fH
Colonel Waring condemns the street
cleaning system as inadequate and those
in charge of it as incompetent. No at.
tention, pubic or private, is paid to the
laws of sanitation To make matters
worse, dwellings are ! Z :.
Crowded to . Dangerous Degree,
the average population for every house
in the city being over 10. Broad
marshes near the harbor are constant
source OF malaria, and into these is
dumped the sewage of the city.
The water supply of Havana, says Mr..
Waring, is of the purest and most ex-
cellent character. This, with the winds
of the gulf, save the city from being alb.
solutely and unqualifedly bad. The
conditions, says Mr.. Waring, will carry
the terrible scourge of yellow fever tc
our shores unless we rise in a war fol
humanity and wipe out an enemy with
which no military valor can COPE
In conclusion Colonel Warning saws
would it not be wise to accept the fact
at once that we are
Confronted With q Danger
compared with which war is insignif-
cant and proceed to meet it and con-
quer it while we may? We cannot
afford to wait until we have fed it and
strengthened it with the lives of our
people. The necessary reforms call fol
costly work even now. But months OF
delay will render them more costly and
more imperative. We can set about
these reforms now calmly and judi.
ciously. Later, under the impulse OF
panic, we should work at far greater dis.
advantage.a
The Improvements which, in his
Judgment, are absolutely necessary tc
make Havana healthy city are set
forth in detail in Colonel Warnings re-
port. They include we'll organized
Department Of Public Cleaning
under a single commissioner; the con-
struction Of a complete sewer system; a
completely appointed abattoir; the re-
paving of all streets with asphalt; a
suitable and sufficient cremating plant
for garbage and sweepings, and the re.
claiming of all the marshes, =,
Colonel Warning states that it is not
possible, from the data now available,
to estimate the cost of all the work
needed, save to say it will be over 49,
100000. 1t is estimated, says Colonel
Waring, that single epidemics. intro.
duced into the United States from Ha-
vana have cost the Mississippi valley
alone $500, O00.00 in loss to industry
and commerce, aside from the loss OF
life. -
