In New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-St. Valen-
tines day was observed mere and
throughout the countdy as usual, but
there did not seem to be as much
interest in the day as in former years.
Valentines of all kinds were sold in
the shops during the past few weeks,
but the demand was much lighter than
in former years, and the mails were
not by any means overburdened with
work on account of Valentines From
all parts of the country it is report
ed that the demand for Valentines was
far smaller than ever before The
greatest demand was for very expen-
sive pieces and for the cheapest, most
ly comical Valentines. Comparatively
few of the medium grades were sold.
The custom of sending Valentines
seems to be gradually dying out.

Miss Roosevelt Was Remembered
By Many People in Union.
RECIPIENT OF MANY M|SS|VES
SEVERAL EXTRA CLERKS KEPT
BUSY OPENING AND SORTING
MAIL AT WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-It
was to be expected that the numerous
friends and admirers Of Miss Alice
Roosevelt, and she has thousands of
them in every state in the Union,
would not allow ST. Valentines day to
pass without thinking of the bride-to-
be, her charming little romance and
coming wedding, and give some ex-
preston of their interest in her. The
Washington postal authorities felt
quite confident that the White House
mail. unusually large at this time
would be considerably increased by
Valentine tokens sent to Miss Roose-
welt. but the enormous number which
actually came through the mails from
all parts of the country almost stag
gered them. The exact number of
valentines sent to Miss Roosevelt is not
known, but conservative estimates
place it at more than six thousand.
Every mail contained a number of
these missives, coming from all parts
of the United States, from large cities
and insignificant villages, and address,
ed in every kind Of chirograpny, from
the mature handwriting of the business
man to the misspelled scrawl of some
country school girl Some of the VAL
entines were enclosed in ordinary en-
velopes, others in large fancy covers,
and among the lot was even a fair
sprinkling of more elaborate Valen-
tines of a decorative character.
The arrival of this enormous and
rather unexpected addition to the reg
ular mail caused something like con-
sternation at the White House. Sew
eraI clerks detailed by Secretary Loeb
for that purpose were kept busy open
ing and sorting the mail. Miss Roose-
welt found time to drop in occasionally
and hugely enjoyed looking over some
of the Valentines, particularly those of
a humorous nature. Some of the hand
soonest and wittiest she put aside to-
show them to her friends.

Louisiana State Board Of Health
Considering Subject.
MANY PLANS ARE UNDER DISCUSSION
STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO PRO.
TECT THE HEALTH OF THE
SOUTHERN PEOPLE,.

ALEXANDRIA, La, Feb. 14.-The
health conference which was called by
DR.. G. H. Irion, president of the state
board of health, to consider matters OF
public health with particular refer
ence to the prevention and suppress
sion of epidemics, like the yellow fever
epidemic of last year, opened here to-
day with large attendance and every
section Of the state we'll represented
The conference promises to be of great
interest and Importance and will mark
the opening of the sanitary campaign
that is to be waged in this state from
now on. The delegates attending the
conference represent not only the
medical fraternity of the state, but
practically every interest 1t is hoped
by DR.. Irion and the other members
of the state board of health that this
conference will have far reaching re-
suits and that it will eventually lead
" tIS pSIlcCI SdIIldllOll ILLS
state has ever known. 1t is proposed
that a uniform plan shall be adopted
fected last year will be thoroughly
fumigated and every open receptacle
the state shall be properly screened
before the advent of early summer. 1t
is also proposed to invoke the aid of
every planter whose place was infect
ed last year and have him agree to
fumigate and screen one cabin On his
plantation; this cabin to be set aside
for use as an isolation hospital
should there be a recrudescence of the
fever on the plantation.
DR.. Irion has had several conferences
with the chief officials of various rail-
road companies in the state, and they
heartily approved of his plan and
promised their cordial help and sup
port
Another most important feature of
the conference will be the mapping out
of a uniform plan of action which will
afford the greatest protection to the
public health with the least interior
ence with the business interests of the
state. Many of the most prominent
bankers, planters and pub
lie officials in various parts of the
state have already promised to support
in every way possible the campaign
which the conference should agree on,
and the presence of a large number of
merchants, manufacturers, planters
and officials from all parts of the state
gives proof of the seriousness of their
promises. Among the medical men,
bers of the conference are many of the
best known and most prominent ply
sicians of the state, and many of them
have come prepared to give to the con-
ference the benefit of their experiences
during the epidemic of last year. The
conference will be in session two days.

Food of the OYSTER.

MANY gallons. probably many bar
rels, of water are drawn through the
gills of each oyster each day." writes a
university professor, land the micro
scopic beings that it may hold are
strained out and pushed along into the
oysters mouth. Each microscopic Or
ganism is a long time in travelling from
the point where 1t first touches the gill
to the oysters stomach; all this while it
is alive and capable of becoming the
parent of new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions. Most of these Or
ganisms are wholesome to man, and all
that enter the oysters stomach are
quickly killed and converted into its
palatable and nutritious substance, but
so long as they are travelling along the
gills all are alive and, some are ex-
tremely dangerous to man. The oyster
exercises choice in the selection Of its
food, rejecting some of the microscopic
organisms and swallowing others, but
those that are discharged into the wa
ter with the sewage Of cities are not
unfortunately among the ones that are
rejected, and before these have entered
the oysters stomach they are most ia
vorably placed for gaining entrance
into human stomachs and multiplying
there"

DRAW Immigrants TO CANADA
AN IMPORTANT MEETING is BE.
ING HELD AT WINNIPEG,
MANITOBA, TODAY.

WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 14.-The
third annual meeting of the Western
Canadian immigration association
opened in the board of trade rooms
here this morning. The attendance is
very large and the members seem to
take more interest in the work before
them than ever before. The meeting is
of great Importance just at this time,
on account of the fact that large
immigration is expected this year and
it is necessary to prepare for the unus-
ually large influx Of colonists. Low
railroad rates will be agreed on and
the railroads leading to the northwest
will be urged to assist in the task of
attracting immigrants of a desirable
class to the western parts of Canada.
1t is proposed to continue the associa-
ton for two more years at least and to
map out a program for this year. At
ter the morning session the delegates
adjourned for luncheon. There will be
another meeting in the afternoon, but
the usual banquet in the evening will
be omitted this year.

Queer Beliefs About the Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only
on st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gath
ering of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Po-
vet in his ''Pandemonium," published
in 1854, says: much discourse hath
been about gathering of fern seed
(Which is looked upon as magical
herb on the night Of midsummer's eve.
and remember l was told of one who
went to gather it, and the spirits whisk-
ed by his ears like bullets and some
times struck his hat and other parts of
his body. In fine, though he appre-
hended he had got a quantity of it
and secured it in papers and box be-
side, when he got home he found all
empty. But most probable this appoint
ing Of time and hours is of the devils
own institution, as we'll as the fact
that having once ensnared people to
an obedience to his rules, he may with
more facility oblige them to stricter
vassalage."
