Politeness distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids In ia
pan. It is so memorable in Japan that
even the ceremony Of giving notice"
Ia turned into I'm occasion OF ca1npIl'
ments. There are no vulgar thre.sts
or sulkings or recriminatiOns or scoid-
ings or answering back" A servant
will never tell her mistress that she Is
dissatisfied or has had some better
place offered her. That would be un-
pardonably rude. Instead h ASKS
for q few days leave of absence. rms
Ia willingly granted, for Japanese serv-
ants have no settled time for taking
holidays.
At the end Of the given time the mis-
tress will begin to wonder what mas De'
come Of the girl. She is not leit 10
wonder long. A letter arrives couched
in the most polite and humble terms
| and giving II excuse but the real one.
Sometimes it will be that she mas
| found herself too weak for service or
| that illness ut home detains her. ID
ever it may be, the plea is never 0 u
tested, but accepted as ina ana a new
servant engaged. Then, after some
weeks have passed. very likely after
taking a fresh place, the old servant
will turn up -e day. express her
thanks for past kindnesses and regrets
at not returning In time. will tax hel
arrears of wages and her bundle ana
disappear forever. So the matter NJ
with the kindest semblance of feeling
on both sides.
II the mistress on her part does no.
wish to have the girl back, she Will no
tell her 80 to her face. but will senf
word. Even when servants come OF
trial for a few days they often q
nominally to fetch their belongings o
make arrangements for their return
never because they have any CON
plants to make. Any disc0mfo

The Engineer Corps
The law providing for the orEaniza ton
of the militia of the District of Columbia
authorizes the maintenance of an engineer
corps, consisting of one commissioned OFF,
GER four non-commissioned officers and
thirty-two prvates. The original engi-
neer corps of the District National Guard
soon developed into provisional battalion
of three companies. one being made up of
sbarpShooters, one of engineers and the
other a construction company The COM
pany of sharpShooters earned an enviable
reputation for itself, as well as for the
brigade. In view of the fact that the exist
ence of the provisional battalion was not in
accordance with the terms of the organic
act the command, early in 1893, reor
ganized an infantry battalion, and the
engineer corps was eStabllShed. Inc
corps during the war with Spain was de-
pleted in numbers because many of Its
members enlisted in the volunteer army.
Soon after the end of the war First Lieut..
Roy B. Hayes, who had been an officer in
the 1st District Regiment, was placed In
command of the engineer corps. and 1t
fourished until a few months ago, when
Lieut. Hayes rendered his resignation be-
cause his business took him away from
Washington. AS no other competent officer
was available for the post the engineer
corps was disbanded.
The emergency was met. however and
very satisfactorily. First Lieut.. Edward

has been elected captain of the company

Arrival Of the Artillery
Smallpox in Dogs.

From the Toledo Blade.
The health authorities of Cleveland have
made an astonishing discovery-that dogs
can contract smallpox. In family Of five
persons, three were found suffering from
the disease, and the whole five were taken
to the hospital The family dog was found
tc be also victim, and was taken along.
This is probably the first authenticated case
of the liability of the canine race to con-
tract this loathsome disease, and Is of i'm
portance as showing another source Of in
lection. An animal with the disease can
spread it to other dogs. which in turn can
infect the households to which they belong.
Hereafter health officers must quarantine
the family dog well, in cases where this
disease appears. No doubt vaccination
would give immunity to dogs as well as
humans and persons owning valuable an
imals would do well to have them vacci-
mated BY the way. the alarming increase
in this disease all over the country is coin
cident with the rise of a stubborn and silly
disbelief In the value Of vaccination. When
whole community. without exception. has
been properly vaccinated, the disease is I'M
known.
