Quarantine in Prussia.

They are taking extraordinary pre-

of typhoid fever which Is just now
prevalent there. When the German
mind addresses itself TO a thing the ac-
cOmpllshmenJ OF that thing is apt to be
thorough. Every station viii practical

The cleanliness Of the station will be

viii be required 20 furnish 20 the physi-
clan accompanying every through train

may exist IN the town. The station
master must furnish sterilized water in
tanks for the use Of the travelling pub
lie. and freshly boiled water VIII be the
only kind allowed on the trains. The
regular drinking fountains must be
sealed up until the town is free from ty-
phoid symptoms.
This is a kind Of quarantine which we
are not likely 10 have in this country
for some time TO come. Imagine what
a Devery or his associates would say II
they had To attend 10 any such cOmpll-
Gated red tape system where they were,

Those manufacturers who do employ

one thing which it is well TO remem-
Der is that the ugly. the fancifui and
the gr0teSque are not exactly the same
thing. An ugly thing is one which out
RACES the laws OF form and color
Usually it is a bad imitation of some
thing better The fancifuI is that which
has no counterpart in nature, but the
conception may nevertheless be beauti-
full because of its conformity 10 the
laws of art The groJesqUe is usually
fanciIuI alton. but not always Some
animals possess this attribute camel,
for example-but correct representa-
lions of them are not therefore inartis-
tic. Some Of the dwarfs and COLLINS in
Grimm's fairy tales may be represented
by grotesque igures-indeed, they must
be: but they need not be ugly for all
that The old wood caTvers of the Mid
die Ages understood these distinctions
considerably better than some of the
factory WOrkmen Of today.
The japanese child undoubtedly owes
his artistic sense in part 10 this very
care which is taken TO surround him
with things which are beautiful. He
learns the laws of beauty as he learns
90 speak and To walk; he cannot help il.
In This connection it may be well to call
attention to Lafcadio Hearn's state
ment in his latest book on Japan, that
owing to the public schools and their
teachings. much Of the old-folk music
of that country is disappearing, and in
place of the quaint and often beautiful
and significant play songs once sung by
japanese children, one hears in the
streets a bad imitation OF Western
! music. which they have learned in
schools There is certainly reason for
deep regret in this. No country can af-
ford to lose that which is part Of its
national life. and the folk songs OF a
people certainly come under this head.

reign spoke Mr.. Balfour, in his eulogy
before the house of commons, "and it
has a happy ending"
All London and thousands from the re-
motest villages of the kingdom paid their
final homage to the queen today in her
capital, and, as Mr.. Balfour fittinely
said, the end of her reign, which is
now passed into history, was happy
Deep solemnity filled all hearts. There
was a reminiscent grief, the feeling that
some one universally loved was missing,
but no such sorrow as surrounded the
collins of Lincoln and Garfield, cut off
before their work was done.
Everyone felt that the inevitable death
had dealt kindly with their sovereign,
that her passing had been as happy as
her life was useful. They gathered to
honor her memory rather than to mourn
her loss. The king and queen in a spe-
cial audience granted Ambassador
Choate and Secretary of Embassy White
after the conclusion of the services at
Windsor, expressed themselves as pro
foundly touched by the manifestations
of sympathy in America. In the course
of conversations held by Mr.. White with
other members of the royal family, all
gave expression to similar sentiments.
As a queen she was an exemplar of
