Very FOrcible Argument.
An old story is told of Joseph RoI
douX, the founder of st. Joseph, TIL

trader who started the city was
turning to st. Joseph with a number
red men, and they stopped with an

main overnight as the guest of III
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired. and RobidouX, VIII
was used to sleeping in the open all
went softly to it and opened 1t. TIL
owner Of the house waited until RObi
doux was in bed again, and the settle
closed it. That was repeated q dozeI
times. "The next time that door il
closed there will be trouble" said tn,
man who had founded st. Joseph. II,
resumed his couch with that.
The owner of the house closed thu
door, and RObidouX met him as he wa
returning to his bed. They clincheC
and fought by the light Of the moor
that came in through the window. i
was q hard fight and lasted n long
time, but at last RobidouX had the set
tier on his back and sat astride Of him
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheOL
floor. "Open W shut?" he asked. The
settler struggled, but did not say O
word. His head was bumped many
times, and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and Ro-
bidouX asked, "Open or shutY
"Open," answered the settler, and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing wide open, admitting the fresh air.

Radishes originated in China, where
they have been cultivated for many
centuries and sometimes grow as big
as a mans head. In Germany the old
fashioned country mothers cure hoarse-
ness and cough with radish juice mix
ed with sugar candy. The radishes Of
today have no flavor, no character.
Formerly their sharp, biting taste made
them palatable.

Reading n Book.

A writer In the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages Of
Che ordinary book are injurious to the
eye of the reader. The curvature ne
cessitates a constant change Of the TO
Gus of the eye as 1t reads from one side
to another, and the ciliary muscles are
under constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with a continued clear field Of vision.
II Is suggested that the difficulty might
be obviated If the lines should be print
ed parallel to the binding instead of at
right angles to It.

QUARANTINE AT FRISCO.
Dispatch From Surgeon Kinyour
Showing It's Necessity.


The action of the health authorities in
making renewed efforts to prevent persons
who may have been exposed to the plague
from leaving San Francisco and California
is explained by the following dispatch from
Surgeon kiny0un at San Francisco, which
was received by the surgeon general of the
marine hospital service:
'If the federal court orders abandonment
of the health boards Gordon around Chi
nese quarters, thereby permitting persons
from infected districts to travel from city,
1 will, unless otherwise directed, enforce
the regulations Of May % against persons
leaving San Francisco for other states,
viii instruct common carriers to refuse
transportation to all persons desiring to
leave San Francisco to go to other states
pital officer l will reinforce guards at
state lines and also notify state boards of
surrounding states Of the actual conditions
existing here
The order of May % was based upon
report sent by the surgeon general to the
Secretary of the Treasury, in which he in
closed u memorandum alleging the exist
ence of the bubonic plague in Chinatown
in San Francisco. He then requested the
PRONUNCIATION of such regulations as might
be necessary to prevent the spread of the
disease from one state or territory into an
other.
These regulations provided that mo
common carrier shall accept for transport
tation any person suffering with plague or
any article infected herewith. nor shall
common carriers accept for transportation
any class of persons who may be designat-
ed by the surgeon general of the marine
hospital service as being likely to convey
the risk Of plague contagion to other COM
munities. and said common carriers shall
be subject to Inspection.
This order was originally directed against
Asiatics, but since it has been found that
no discrimination can be allowed all per-
sons are subject to the regulations. The in
spection service has been in operation since
May %. the date of the order but, as
Chinatown was surrounded by health cor
don, 1t was unnecessary to carry out its
provisions in their entirety. Since the cor
don was been removed. however, stricter
precautions are to be taken by the federal
authorities, who will allow no one who has
been exposed to the plague to leave San
Francisco or California for other states.
The federal authorities. however, have no
control over the movements of persons
within the state.
