An official who quite generally

funny hopelessness for all reasonable
purposes of many of the little creeks

the Improvement of meaSley little
streams that he himself knew could
never be made fit for any human pur-
pose. There was a Virginian who.
failing to get Congress to stick in an
appropriation for the dredging of lit
tie stream down in his section, finally
importuned Grant in the matter.

We often bear, says Il writer in the
Chicago Democrat, of the wife that is
spoiled by an over-indulgent husband,
still more frequently of the spoiled
child, who is a nuisance to every one,
but the husband who Is spoiled is not
so much in evidence.
He exists, nevertheless, and is in his
way as utterly Objectionable as either
of the other two.
A husband can be spoiled by various
methods. He can be so overwhelmed
by thousand and one attentions of
love and kindness on the part of his
wife that he accepts this role of divin-
ity as matter of course, and becomes
the incarnation of selfshness; or he
can be made to become a nonenity by
the overbf ring conduct of 6 dictatorial
wife, who keep the reins of govern
ment in her own hands and drives all
vestiges Of manhood out of her hus-
band.

PLAGUEONASTEAMER
SHIP AT PORT TOWNSEND HAS
SEVERAL CASES.
japanese Tramp Ship Mango Mnru in
Quarantine for Nonth-Matter Kept

CONSERVATION was created in Puget

bonic plague have existed at Port Town

ruary the japanese tramp ship Nanyo
Maru arrived there with suspicious dis
ease on board. The ship was ordered
into quarantine at Diamond Head and
has since remained there. Two men had
died on the voyage over and at least one
more succumbed after reaching Port
Townsend.
Quarantine officials at first would not
state what the disease was, but later
gave ont that it had been diagnosed as
beriberi, an affection familiar to japanese
physicians. 1t is similar to the bubonic
plague, and, while equally fatal, is be-
lieved to be less infectious. Thursday,
when it was officially announced that the
disease was nothing more nor less than
the death-dealing plague, CONSERVATION
spread throughout all the Pacific coast
ports. The Mango Maru has been fumi-
gated more than thirty times in an at
tempt to XIII dee disease germs with
which the ship IS infected. Its timbers
are yellow and discolored from the fumes
of sulphur. Thousands CT rats infested
the ship, including the cabins and sleep
ing quarters. Her Japanese crew was in
a bad state of health, aside from the out
break of the plague. 1t is believed at
Port Townsend that more than three died
at sea. The ships crew numbered forty

A Venerable Tree.

The town of Kos, the capital of the
small Turkish island of that name lying
off the coast of Asia Minor. possesses
the Oldest tree in the world. Under it's
shade Hippocrates inculcated his disci-
pies in his methods and views concern
ing the healing art 1000 years ago.
Tradition carries the age of the tree
back to the time of Aesculapius (of
whom Hippocrates was lineal de-
scendant). which would add some 400
years to its age. great part of the
trunk is built round, and there is a
fountain known as Hippocrates' foun-
tain. The circumference of the trunk
is thirty feet. and there are two main
lower branches. which are supported
by masonry columns.

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John M Smyth
Company of Chicago
For one-third of a century this com
pany has been in business. Beginning
in small way. they supplied their neigh
bers IN the nearby towns, each year
widening their field. They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an Illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000
illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
Wear and Use. By superior process of
color photography they Illustrate many
of their goods in natural colors. bringing
ont the rich color value of curtains, car
pets. draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper. etc, thus enabling the Gus
toner hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own ireside, knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for it not only saves long and tiresome
railroad journeys but is a great time
saver II leaves out the profit of the
jobbing house. the retailer. the expensive
commercial traveller. the general agent,
the sub-agent. and thus eliminates from
one to four profits, saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, it is great
wholesale store brought to the home The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a Goth
century dictionary of economy.
The illustration below shows the recent
building added to this great enterprise.
