Record of Yellow Fever.

Yellow fever has always been re-
garded as an American plague, its
earliest and greatest ravages being in
the West Indies and in American
ports. In 1904 and 1914. however, it
was very violent at Gibraltat, and dur
ing the next quarter of a century there
were a number of virulent outbreaks
in various Spanish cities. Norfolk
and Portsmouth, Va, were -avaged in
1856; Wilmington, N. c.. in 1862. and
Savannah, Ca. in 1876. Between 1S47
and 1868 there were six periods of
scourge in New Orleans. the mortality
in each case averaging about $500.
In 1S7S-79 Memphis was almost depop-
ulated. there being 5.160 deaths in
1878 and ASS in 1879. though the larg-
er part of the population had fed from
the city. There were fever rayages
during the same years in New Orleans
and other gulf and south Atlantic
ports, the total number of deaths
from the scourge in the United States
during that year being 14.S09.

Saved from Suicide by Bath.

A keeper at the county Jail in Jer-
sey City made the discovery a few
days ago that Nicola Murdaco, con-
demned Italian murderer, was in I,ced
of = bath.
'fNe tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, a negro murderer, who is
under sentence to hang one week be-
fore the date set for Murdaco's execu-
tion. Tapeley said he strenucusly OBJ
jected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless "the dago
had a wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
bathtub, but refused. He said he
would die first, and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes off and wash.
ed him. Murdaco's yells were heard
in every part of the jail. Three or
four men held him down while others
scrubbed him from head to foot.
Murdaco tried to kill himself the
other day by twisting and pulling his
tongue until it bled at the roots. The
keepers believe the Italian had an
idea that he could commit suicide by
allowing the pores of his skin to close
up, and for that reason refused to
wash himself.

Had to Wear Old Hat to Wedding
as the Result of Hubby's Care
Iessness-And He Thought He
Was Clever

A friend OF mine from town over
In Virginia came to Washington a
week or so ago to buy hat. says a
writer in the Washington Post. We
went about from shop to shop, she
and I, and we couldn't find hat she
fancied anywhere. At last we came
upon milllner who had something
that would have been exactly what
my friend wanted If it had not been
the wrong color. The Virginia woman
wanted either blue or a tan-colored
one. and she'd have to see both be
fore she could decide which to take.
In the end the milliner agreed to make
up two hats of the shape my friend
liked. and let her see them. After
ward. the lady from Virginia decided
to leave the task of selection to me
and we went home. l said eeny,

Ceremonious Forms of Express

Very curious are some of the rules
of etiquette observed by Chinaman.
Emile Bard, who has written book

the form of etiquette has replaced the
substance With the Chinese refusal
or unpleasant truth must be express ed
evasively. If a Chinaman does not
wish to accommodate friend he
never gives the true reason for his
refusal; that would be discourteous.
He lies politely. The ceremonious
forms of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing to
the European listener. 1t is fixed
rule that one must speak of himself
and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the most
exalted language in referring to the
person or property of another.
Whether two mandarins or two beg

Crew of Wrecked French Bark
Has an Experience Somewhat
Similar to That of the swiss
Family Robinson"

A close parallel to some cf the nd
ventures recorded in Swiss Family
Robinson" is furnished BY the expert
ences of the crew of the wrecked
French vessel Anjou. The survivors
arrived in Marseilles the other day.
Tb, Anjou. with a crew of twenty-five
ant a cargo of corn, left Sydney on
Jan. 20 for Falmouth and was over
taken by a tempest, which drove it
on TIE rocks. For an entire night the
crew remained on the sinking ship
at the mercy of the waves, and when
morning came they found that. they
were within few hundred yards of
land, but towering above thcm was a
huge cliff. The crew embarked in
three. of the ships boats. The ships
cat at the last moment jumped into
one of the boats and a few minutes
later the Anjou settled and sunk.
For hours the wrecked men searched
for an inlet, while their frail boats
were flung hither and thither by the
huge seas. Toward night they eff
fected landing on the island.

ers found shelter containing

A Chinaman, wearing his finest
gown of silk, called at a house where
he happened to disturb rat which
was regaling itself out of jar of oil
standing on a beam over the door In
its sudden fright the rat upset the oil
over the luckless visitor, running his
fine raiment. While the man was still
pale with rage his host appeared and
after the customary greetings the WIS.,
itor accounted for his appearance in
this wise: "As I was entering your

oil over my poor and insignificant

brother thus addresses him. 1t must
be either honorable older brother" or
honorable younger brother" or some
such form of expression. Foreigners
usually solve the difficulty by apply
ing to their servants the names of
their functions, as boy, coolie, gar
dener, cook, mafoo (coachman) and SO

SECRET POLICE OF PARIS.
Four Branches of Organization, With
Varying Duties.

Varying DUTIES.
"You cannet go anywhere In Paris
without meeting the secret police. al
though you would rever recognize
them" observed a Briton familiar
with the French capital. There are
four divisions of these uniformed
crime detectors. The first division is
known as the Surety. the business OF
which is to track down known crimi-
nails and capture them. They are dar-
ing, willy and resourceful fellows. and
It is a clever malefactor indeed who
can evade tkem. Another body of this
plain clothes police looks after the
tenants of lodging houses and hotels.
They take note of all the arrivals and
departures, and gather statistics re-
garding the workmen in the factories,
the sick in hospitals and private
houses. and so forth. A third division
occupies itself with political plotters,
agitators and gamblers. AT meetings
of a seditious character they mingle
with the crowd. and Ito disarm sus-
ricion) applaud as loudly as anybody,
and join in denunciations of the gov
ernment. They appear in gambling
dens as gamblers themselves. and
they also keep a quiet watch on the
regular police. The remaining divis-
ion consists of elegantly dressed per-
sons who watch over the president
and protect him not only from assas-
sins. but also from bores and cranks.'

Then he waited a few minutes at
Billy's window. glancing now and then
at the charming scene across the

back to the phone and again called up

me at his house that he left for the

Billy and l hastened to the window.
Such scurrying! She couldn't find
her hatpin; then her handbag was
shy; but she was out of that office in
forty seconds by Billy's watch. One
minute later we saw stylishly

For Preserving Timber.

A process for preserving timber,
patented by an Englishman. consists
in injecting it with a light syrup of
raw sugar from the cane or so-called
beet root, raised to boiling point in
a closed chamber. When the timber
is dried in current of hot air the SUI
gar becomes crystallized in the pores.
and the inventor asserts that timber
SO treated can not decay, split or
warp. while being protected from de-
structive fungi.
