The need of better laws governing the
handling of milk in the District of Column
bia is apparent to all and your committee
on public health hopes to be able to bring
before the Board of Trade for it's considera-
ton copy of bill which shall provide for
the handling and sale of milk of greater
wholesomeness than that which is often
sold in the city at the present time
Your committee calls attention to the
difficulty, 1t might say almost the impos-
sbility, of enforcing the abatement of
nuisanceS on property belonging to nom
residents those whose residence can not
be ascertained Persons living in the Dis
trict may be fined and imprisoned if they
do Eot maintain in good sanitary condition
the property which they own. While the
same laws are. of course, applicable to per-
sons living outside of the District and to
persons whose addresses are unknown, yet
1t is impossible to enforce them against
such persons because they are beyond the
reach of criminal process.
Lunacy Cases.
1.-The handling of lunacy cases prior to
actual commitment in the District of Co
lumbia is far from satisfactory, and there
are very few connected with these pro-
ceedings who have not just cause to criti-
else the uncertain and uirsa tisfactory con-
ditions which now exist; it is sincerely
hoped that satisfactory bill may be pre-
pared Which viii provide for the proper
care of these cases before final commit
ment. A law for the destruction of in
sanitary buildings ins the District of Co
lun tia is certainly needed: at the present
time many houses ares but nests for
disease and crime, and it is earnestly
hoped that some means will be devised in
TIL. near future to accomplish this much
to be desired measures Il
1.-The condition of the Anaeostia river will
be materially improved when the work for
which the present appropriation hes been
made shall have been completed but there
Is much to be done beforea these hotbeds of
disease can be removed from the threshold
of our city.
Your committee urgently recommends
that all cases of consumption be reported to
the health officer of the District of Column
bia in the same manner and under the
same penalties as In cases of typhoid fever,
may be definitely ascertained, and that suit
able instructions may be given to the pa
tent and those exposed to the disease con-
corning the care necessary to prevent its
spread"

A Chinese Marriage IL n Moist and
solemn Ceremony.


A Chinese marriage is a solemn cere-
mony-no talk, no levity and much cry
ing The solemnity Of funeral pre-
walls. After the exchange Of presents
the bride is dressed with much care in
a red gown--brocade or silk. II she can
get IL; her eyelashes are painted a deep
black, and she wears a heavy red veil
attached TO a scarlet headdress from
which imitation pearls hang over the
forehead. A feast is spread upon a ia
bic, to which the blushing bride is led
by five Of her friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. Deep ST.
lence prevails, when finally the mother
starts crying, the maids follow, and the
bride joins in the chorus. Then all the
bridesmaids leave the table, and the
disconsolate mother takes a scat beside
the chair of state, where the bride sits.
The bridegroom now enters with four
of his men friends. The men pick up
the throne on which the bride sits and,
preceded by the bridegroom, form in
procession and walk around the room
or into an adjoining room. signifying
that he is carrying her away 20 his own
home. The guests then throw rice at
the happy couple, a custom we have
borrowed from them.

Conducted Receptions.
Presidential receptions at the White
House nowadays are vastly different
from those given by the Father Of His
Country when he was at the head Of
the government. Philadelphia was then
the scene. The president rented house
at Sixth and Market streets for $1,000
a year and dressed himself much more
deliberately than he had for similar oc>
casions I'm New York.
On the occasion OF a presidential re-
ception a chosen few were admitted
and formed a circle around the recep-
tion room. Then the president made
the round, favoring each with a formal
bow and a few words. Then he return
ed 10 his position before the fireplace,
and they in turn were conducted to
him, bowed and retired.
There was no handshaking, his hands
being so bestowed as to indicate that
the salutadon was not TO be accompa-
MED with shaking hands," At these
levees our first president shone, too, I'm
the matter OF dress. Washington is de-
scribed as resplendent in black velvet,
silver knee and shoe buckles, long black
silk stockings. his powdered hair tied
in a silk bag or cue behind He wore
yellow gloves and held cooked hat in
his hand Exchange
