The bitter attack on American wO.

who married peer, and who says that
while he brought to her u peerage, a
bad reputation, debts and broken
constitution she gave to him a for.

Quarantine regulations, approved by
Secretary Shaw recently, provide that
no fOreignbOrn mosquitoes shall be nd.
mltted to the United States. This Ii
a novel and universally acceptable
law restricting immigration. All ships
coming from yellOw.fcver ports must

regulations restricting the immigration
of mosquitoes could be supplemented

"You promised mother letter.
Write 1t nOw," Is one of the notices
on the walls of the Nagasaki Home for
Seamen-a motto that, 1t Is asserted,
has restrained more men from going
wrong than almost any other influence
of the place. Wanderers over the
globe are not the only ones who need
such reminder. Indeed. they might
be able to give lessons In filial duty to
