BEAUTY AND HYGIENE.
Houses Have Been Cleared of Stuffy Draperies and Cumbering orna-
 ments in Crusade for Health.

When it comes to matters of hygiene the American woman excels She is the most hygienic of women. She under stands hygiene from its very inception, and there is never an hour of the day nor 8 day of her life in which she does not practice it. She studies it as fad and her life is one living hygienic ex- ample.
 Here are some oi the things which Hygiene has done for the American woman and which she has done for hygiene. She has banished window cur tains and canopies from the beds. She has torn the carpets of the floors. She has ripped the tapestries from the walls of the living rooms and she has thrown the upholstered furniture out of the windows. She will have few knick- knacks around. but she has banished the whatnot, the tiny shelves, the swinging dust traps and all the small articles which gather dust and hold it.
 That is why, if one goes into the houses of the very wealthy to-day, one will find very few germ holding articles. In the drawing rooms there are few marbles and bronzes: there is fine fur nfture, and there are pictures. But when 1t comes to the thousand and one trifies, the photographs, the countless tiny bric-a-brac, and the little articles that cluttered the home few years ago, they are missing to-day.
 The very best homes have almost nothing in the way of bric-a-brac. They are furnished with an elegant simplic- ity which is as beautiful as 1t is rare. The cluttering little articles are not to be found here.
 And hygiene has done another thing for the modern home It has banished the very heavy carpets from the floor. The rugs may be elegant, but they are neither thick nor heavy. They are thin, silky affairs. They are light and easily shaken, and they are hygienic to the last degree. A rug costing $1 900 may be thin, silky, beautiful in texture, yet of a kind which will not gather germs. Many of the new floor cover ings are absolutely germ proof in that they can be cleansed almost as easily ns a dish.

THROUGH AN ALLIGATOR.
Singular Source of Pollution of tn, Water of Central Amer ican Town.

Here Is an incident that illustrates the unexpected difficulties which en' terprise has sometimes to face in cer tain regions of Central America. says the New York Herald. An alligator was the innocent cause of the misfor. tune, and 1t lived in large lake whence an important town drew its supply of water. By means of power ful steam driven pumps the water was drawn from the lake through strong iron pipe. which. after running some 80 or 90 yards into the lake from the shore, ended in an upward turn, a short arm bent at right angles to the pipe and rising to within few feet of the surface Suddenly an epidemic visited the town in question. The com pany's reputation being threatened, fl was decided to straightway pull up the streets and expose the main pipes and conduits.
 The entire system was laid bare, from the outskirts of the town to the very shores of the lake. but the min. utest examination failed to reveal any suspicious feature. Then, almost at their wits end, for the epidemic was raging as badly as ever. the officials entered upon the last lap and turned their attention to the submerged DOT. tion of the conduit, and here 1t was they found the cause. A huge alliga- tor had been drawn toward the mouth of the main by the very strong infu1 and. being unable to release itself from the suction. had remained there until it died. and thus. for goodness knows how long. all the water consumed in the town had first filtered through the decomposed carcass of the alligator.

SAN DIEGO. Aug. 1.-De witte B.
Williams, until recently a prominent
fruit grower of this county but now a
resident of Imperial, from which he has
just come, states that no great damage
has been done in the Imperial valley
by the Colorado overflow Except at
Calexico, where 1000 acres were flooded,
the water has remained in the riverbed
and canals: The water in the new river
has fallen SIX or eight inches during the
last week. In the SaltoH basin, how
ever the water continues to rise. The
Southern Pacific has 10000 sacks of
earth piled along the track, but the
water is coming over the top of them.
Mr.. Williams says that there is no
immediate danger in Imperial valley,
as it would take perhaps twenty years
for the water to rise so high as to flood
the valley. The higher it gets the
greater area is has to spread over 1t
is still expected that about two-thirds
of the volume of the Colorado river is
flowing into the breach below the line

Meeting of Gar and Kaiser Sprung
as Surprise
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. From a
member of the imperial encourage, the
Associated Press learns an interesting
fact. showing how quietly preparations
were made for the meeting between
Emperor Nicholas and Emperor Will

Though the German emperor had
been exchanging kilograms with EN-
peror Nicholas for three days before
the meeting, the party on the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern were unenlightened
as to their nature and retired on Satur-
day evening in ignorance of the forth
coming event. During the night EN-
peror William personally ordered the
course of the yacht to be changed to
the eastward. When the surprised
guests noted the new direction of the
Hohenzollern in the morning, Emperor
William jovially broke the news that he
would dine with the Russian emperor
that evening. Dinner was prepared on
the Polar Star, the Russian imperial
yacht, but the Hohenzollern failed to
arrive in time, and finally Emperor
Nicholas and his party dined without
the expected guests.
When the Hohenzollern did arrive and
the German emperor and his suite had
boarded the Polar Star, Emperor Mich
olas greeted him, saying: Thou art
too late. We have already dined,"

Emperor William replied laughingly
and the incident gave the keynote to
