Record of Yellow Fever.

Yellow fever has always been re-
garded as an American plague, it's
earliest and greatest ravages being in
the West Indies and in American
ports. In 1904 and 1914, however, it
was very violent at Gibraltar, and dur.
ing the next quarter of century there
were number of virulent outbreaks
in various Spanish cities. Norfolk
and Portsmouth, Va, were ravaged in
1855; Wilmington, N. c., in 1862, and
Savannah, Ca, in 1876. Between 1847
and 1868 there were six periods of
scourge in New Orleans, the mortality
in each case averaging about $500.
In 1S78-79 Memphis was almost depop.
ulated, there being $3.50 deaths in
1878 and 4S5 in 1879, though the larg.
err part of the population had fled from
the city. There were fever ravages
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

PERRY's MISSION TO JAPAN,
Presidents Letter in 1853 Courted
Japan's Friendship.

The letter which Commodore PER-,
bore from our government to the mi.
kado asked for mutual treaty. The
original instrument was drafted in
May, 1851, by Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state, and was signed by
President Fillmore There it rested.
In November, 1852, Mr. Websters sue.
cessor, Edward Everett, fished it out
OF the department pigeon holes, took
1t to pieces and refashioned it, says
Century Three copies were prepared
and were splendidly engrossed in Eng
lish, Dutch and Chinese. These were
lnclosed together in a sumptuous gold
case and, to make the whole present
ment still more impressive to the Jap
anese mind, the gold case was en-.
shrined in Golfer Of rosewood.
The document intrusted to Commo
dore Perry asked of the Japanese
court two things, friendship and trade
first and foremost, friendship, for
the safety of our seamen Many a
hapless crew had been driven into
their ports by storm or wrecked on
their rocky coast, escaping the peril
OF the deep only to be welcomed by
those truculent islanders to dungeon
or cage on shore. This wrong must
be stopped at all hazards. And if, in
addition, we could persuade Japan to
enter friendly relations of trade, the
two countries by mutual interchange
Of productions, might each promote
its own prosperity and the welfare of
the other. 1t was thought that orien.
tails might see that as we'll as Yankees.
In the end they did. But it cannot be
said that Japan, any more than an
oyster, every really yearned to be

in every part of the Jail. Three OF
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 tc
wash himself.

Archduke's Earned EIorin,

Among the requests of the Arch
duke Joseph of Austro-Hungary to his
son is 'the only form l ever really
earned. 1t hangs in gold-rimmed
tortoise shell frame above my desk
at Buda-Pesth." The archduke earned
it at Fiume by showing French en-
gineer from Creuzot over the gardens
and greenhouses of his place there.
This person had rung at a private
gate, which the archduke opened, and,
thinking the latter stewards as
sistant or a gardener, asked him to
take him around. he understanding
that strangers were admitted to see
the grounds. Archduke Joseph rather
enjoyed the mistake and said he would
be very pleased. He talked in a plain,
blunt manner and seemed so little the
man of consequence that the visitor
on leaving presented him with a f1orip
for the trouble he had been at.

It's just their aggravating way to pick

But when Jake returned with the
information that Mary Brown had
neither seen nor heard of them, his
anger gave place to wonder and dis
may. What was he to do? Manifest

himself, much as he disliked to &C.
knowledge it after declaring that won.
ems work was not work at all, but
only play.
In the end he sent for one of the
Gould girls to come and attend to the
house work, and after two days sent
her back and engaged one of the Cady
girls. But she was no better.
Then he tried it again himself, but
with even less satisfaction than be-
fore. He had not dreamed house
work was so endless and exasperating,
and before the week was out was so
far humbled as to acknowledge to
Jake in private that he would rather
hoe corn sixteen hours a day than pre-
pare a single meal of victuas.
Then why don't you get the wom-
en- folks back?" Jake asked bluntly.
IF you can run the kitchen cheaper
and easier than they, like I've heard
you twit 'em, go ahead and do it; if
not get 'em back. That's my say"
Another two days brought Johnson
to the limit of his endurance, and then
came relief in the shape of letter
from the city. 1t read:
Dear husband:-
We've been having a pretty good
time, but things here do cost awful
wanted to buy some things for Mary
but can't, for We'll have only just
enough to pay our fare home after

then read the postscript.

Lesson for Women,

Jersey Shore, Pa, Aug. 2Sth (Spe-

Mrs. c. B. Earnest of this place has

Jake declared that all the flies of the

When thaAearly beam of morning,
Speeding over fields and streams.
With its golden touch awakes me
From the misty land of dreams
Half a-doze and half beholding,
l can see a babys head.
Just above the snowy covers
OF little cradle-bed.
Little head above the covers.
Frightened by the morning glow.
Time and tide may swing between us
AS the summers ebb and flow
Waking dreams and plans may enter
To disturb. that little head,
Just above the snowy covers
OF our baby's cradle bed.
Little head above the covers,
Though the seasons come and pass,
And your childhood fade and vanish
Like a sunbeam from the grass,
All the'years shall I remember
That repOsing baby head
Just above the snowy covers
OF this little cradle bed.
ALBERT Bgelow Paine in Pearson's.
