of the dilapidated condition of the pres

In connection with the MANAGEMENT OF
outbreaks of ntagious disease, especial
ly those of major type, it frequently be-
comes necessary to hold suspects under
observation for a certain length of time
pending diagnosis, and TO keep in quar-
infection for a period equal to the period
OF incubation of the disease to which they
have been exposed AT times it becomes
necessary to remove persons from houses
infected by such diseases to temporary
quarters in order TO permit the infected
promises to be properly disnfected.
During the past three years accommo-
dationS for such purposes have been main
tanned by rental They are however not
we'll adapted 10 the purposes for which
they are used and the expense of rental
is considerable. The need of suitable
buildings for the purposes above mention
ed has been increased during recent years
by the increase of the number of people
living in apartment houses. the quaran-
buildings being fraught with danger to
the other inmates The District should
construct suitable isolation buildings so
that proper accommodations will be al
ways available. For the purchase of a
site for such buildings estimate of sl0,-
eco and for the erection and the equipment
thereof, an estimate of $4,000 are submit
ted.
The District Government is at present
without facilities for making general bac-

Such a laboratory should be provided so
as to enable the Health Department to

upon it.
II respectfully recommend that In the
preparation of estimates for the expenses
of the District during the next fiscal year
provision be made for the purchase of a
site or sites for, and for the construction
of, one or more public bath houses and
for the purchase If necessary of sites for

THE BABY.
KITTEN FOR THE BEE.

W KITTEN FOR THE BEE. One day she left her baby in ourc care While she went down street in the morning
 air. We laid the baby on the sofa, we two old
 maids alone, And wished it's mother would be back some
 time before twas noon. Then baby turned her head out from the
 swaddlng clothes 'Oh, sister Ann. she's wide awake. and I'm
 afraid she knows. What shall we do, she's crinking up her nose '' We looked at that small thing just lying like
 roll of snow. Such pretty wraps she wore all lace and
 white you know, And with such soft blue eyes she smiled upon Two tiny arms stretched out. we took her on
 our lap. Such pleading ways she had just waking from her nap. We've never had baby at our house before, And many years have flown away and more But isn't the baby darling thing to hold? Such soft spun hair like shining threads of And rose red mouth. with deeply dimpled
 chin,
 in. Oh baby, we should always like to kiss and hold you so, But would your mother let you go? One thing at least we hope Shel stay away And not come near us all this blessed day.

He made up his mind to fool her''jist wonst' in his life, so he placed the tub where the landlord had put it.
 "Now," he said to himself with a giggle, ''she'll go down ter his office fer nothing! Datll be wild-goose fer her,
 But somehow the tub would roll away from the door, and he felt for the supposed disturbing piece of coal. It was not on top of the mat, SD he felt under His hand struck some paper, and he picked it up and took it to the light. To his astOnishment, the paper contained dollar and half; and written across it was the word | ''change''
 "All right" said Tim out loud. 'I'll give yer der change, an I'm mighty glad yer honist at las'.' He placed three cents change in the paper and put it under the mat.
 He joyously rushed out of the house and off to fruit store, where he pur- chased a large bag of fruit. "Now," he said as he came out, "Mom'll have fruits like everybody else." In front of the landlords office | or nxxyI Io1 hn for xx,if1 h i,, conscious little form was stretched on | a-desk. 1t was none other than Tim's.

AN ANECDOTE OF THE DEATH OF
 LAWRENCE BARRETT.

The sudden death of Lawrence Bar
 rett was a great surprise to Booth.
 His friend had recovered from the seri-
 ous operation performed year or two
 before, and he was, seemingly, in TO-
 bust strength, likely long to outlive
 Booth who, was beginning to become conscious of his own physical decay. They were playing together success full engagement in New York, when Barrett was taken ill and was obliged to leave the theatre before the close
 of the performance. The next night
 he did not appear, and the third night his name was taken out of the bill. Booth, who had no thought of any
 thing serious, asked Mir Bromley; the
 manager, to call at the Windsor hotel and see how Lawrence was getting on." An hour later Booth was sitting
 at his supper of bread and milk in the grill-room of The Players when MT Bromley entered and said, simply and seriously, ''Mr Barrett has gone.' J
 Booth, still suspecting nothing, asked, "Where to?" supposing that Mrs Bar rett had carried her husband off to their home in Boston. He was natur- ally very much depressed for some time.
 Indeed, he never fully recovered from the blow. He closed his theatre at once, although he continued the sala- ries of his company; and finally he played a short engagement in Brooklyn which proved, as so many of his friends feared, his last. During this engage ment copy of the dea th-mask of Bar rett was sent to the Club. It came in
 as Booth was starting out for the the ater. He saw it in the hall, learned from whom it had come and told the boy in charge to 'carry it up stairs" The lad, not understanding the order took it to Booths own room, removed the wrappings, and placed it on small table by Booths bed. And there, when he went up stairs and turned on the electric lights, in all the ghastly whiteness of the fresh plaster, he found it. This was, if possible, greater shock to him than was the death of
 Barrett itself.-[ From "A Group of
 Players," by Laurence Hutton, in Har- p CTS Magazine.
