his team. Davis was captured and
the indignation at his crime is so

Sleep and Nerve Rest.

From the London Telegraph.
In the days when eight hours for sleep
was nominally regarded as an hour too long
for any self-respecting individual, the ex-
hausting character OF modern life was un-
known. There was less wealth and more
contentment: less competition and more Sc
curity; fewer distractions. but more SIM
plicity. Work was easier. slower, and care,
anxiety. apprehension-in a word, worry

morseless in Overtaxing the delicate
mechanism Of our minds and nerves. The
best walker. for instance, does not propose
to himself to go regularly sixty miles a day,
or to subject the same set of muscles in
any other form of physical exercise to
intense and unremitting labor. But that is
what we do with the immediate agent of
our minds-the brain machine. We cannot
watch its operations. We often assume
that Its movements are as light and endless
as the ripples OF the universal air. We
know, and nevertheless we forget, that the

Vaccinating Trees.

It has been observed by European scien-
lists that the roots of fruit trees frequently
become exhausted while the trunk and
branches are still in a healthy state, and
experiments have recently been made with
view to stimulating and feeding artifi-
cially the impoverished trees by vaccinating
them with a solution of sulphate of iron.
By the use of colored solutions it has
been demonstrated that the best location
for the incision is at the neck of the root.
as from this point the nourishing fluid per-
meates almost the entire tree, both root and
branches. II Is the idea of the scientists
conducting the experiments that germicides
as well as nutritive substances might be
introduced into the sap. thus protecting the
tree from disease.
1t Is believed that by this method many
old orchards which would otherwise become
barren and finally die may be preserved in
q healthy and fruit-bearing state for con-
siderable periods, and that valuable shade
trees. located in cities. the loss of which
could be repaired only after many years,
may be saved.

Policemen's Risks

FROM tne Dunuee auyertlSer
The dangerous nature Of the policsnan's
calling was indicated in the evidence given
the other day by Sir Edward Henry before
the metropolitan police commission. Every
year, 1t appears. from $50 to 300 constables
are so severely handled that they have to
keep on the sick list for over a week, many
of them receiving injuries of a permanent
character. When we reflect that these in

crowds OF admiring ragamufflns. The po-

BETTER SANITATION
BEGINNING OF IMPROVED CoNDI.
TIoNs IN DISTRICT.

1.-The first step toward the improvement Of
local sanitary conditions has been started
by the demolition of the houses at the
southeast corner Of AZ street and Maine
avenue southwest, and at No. 2109 l1th
street northwest, which were removed I'M
der the orders of the new board created
for the condemnation of insanitary build
ings under an act of Congress approved
May 1, 1895.
More than dozen houses have been in
spected and acted upon by the board since
Its actual organization. and from the In
spections made the board members say it
Is very evident that the owners or agents.
In great many cases, were unaware of
the conditions existing in houses used for
human habitation. or through Indifference
or neglect allowed the premises to go into
decay with no effort to repair restore or
place In a habitable condition.
In many quarters there appears to be a
misconception as to the workings of the
act in regard to the condemnation of prop
erty. the general opinion being that con-
domination means demolition and removal.
This will necessarily be true in a great
many cases, but the majority can be cor
rected and the insanitary features re-
moved.
Under the wording Of the act It is neces-
sary to serve twenty-day preliminary no
tice requiring the owner or agent to show
cause why buildings should not be con-
demned for insanitary reasons specified.
Within this 2O-day period the owner or au-
thorized representative has an opportunity
to appear before the board or by written
application take action toward the elimina-
ton Of the insanitary features. This has
already been done in several cases and ap-
plications are now on file requesting infor-
nation as to what is desired by the board.
Notice of Condemnation.
At the expiration of the twenty days II
no action has been taken or cause shown
sufficient in the opinion of the board
notice Of condemnation follows, which is
served on the owner, If possible, or on the
agent II the owner is a nonresident stating
that the building in question is condemned
and If 1t is not repaired to remedy the con-
ditions which led to the condemnation 1t
shall be demolished and removed within a
time specified by the board and embodied
In the notice. Service of this notice is
followed by the affixing of notice of con-
demnation to the structure in question stat
ting that the same is condemned. The act
specifies From and after thirty days
thereof from service of above notice 1t is
illegal to occupy the premises SO posted
unless the board, for cause shown, extends
the time within which occupancy may
continue"
The occupancy. Of any building so con-
demned and posted after the period pre-
scribed is punishable in the Police Court by
a fine OF not more than 800 or imprison-
ment for not more than ninety days for
each day on which such act is done. With
few exception the character of the houses
taken up at the present time are those in a
very dilapidated condition, but which could
not come under the inspector of buildings as
being dangerous to life and limb.
