CHINATOWN A MASS OF RUINS.
Famous Section Of San Francisco Falls
Prey to Flames.


San Francisco.-Strange is the scene
where San Francisco's Chinatown
stood. No heap of smoking ruins
marks the site of the wooden war
rens where slant-eyed men of the
Orient dwelt in thousands. The place
is pitted with deep holes and scared
with dark passageways, from whose
depths come smoke wreaths. All the
wood has gone and the winds are
streaking the ashes.
White men never knew the depth OF
Chinatown's underground city. They
talked of these subterranean runways
and many of them had gone beneath
the street levels, two or three stories
But now that Chinatown has been un
masked, for the destroyed buildings
were only mask men from the hill
side have looked on where it's inner
secrets lay. In places they can see
passages one hundred feet deep.
Hundreds of fright-crazed yellow
men escaped from the flames, carrying
money bags, their silks and their child.
rem. Beside them ran the baggy
trousered women, and some of them
hobbled painfully
But these were the men and women
of the surface. Far beneath the street
levels, in those cellars and passage.
ways, were other lives. Women who
never saw the day from their darkene0
prisons, and blinking jailers, were
caught like rats in a huge trap. Their
very bones were eaten by the flames
And now there remains only the
holes. They pit the hillside like null
titude of ground swallow nests. They
show depths which the police never
knew. The secrets of these burrows
will never be known. for into then,
the hungry fire first sifted its red
Goals obliterating everything except
the earth itself.

MARRIED PEOPLE LIVE LONG
State of Matrimony Conducive to Good
Old Ace.

Marriage is an institution highly
conducive to the health of both hus-
band and wife, says American Medi.
cine. Statistics prove that among
married men over 20 years of age and
women over 40 the mortality rate is
far less than among those who remain
single. Among the widowed and d.
vorced the mortality is exceptionally
great. Suicides among the unmarried
are much more numerous than among
the married. The matrimonial state
promotes temperance in every form.
Furthermore, the probable duration OF
life OF married man of 80 exceeds
that of his unmarried brother by five
years, and the wife may expect to live
one year longer than single woman
Of the same age.

Valuable Zones of Silence.

There has come into modern lire
greater variety Of sound and greater
volume than assailed the ears OF our
ancestors. To keep ones freshness
there ought TO be a zone OF silence
around every human being during some
part Of the day The finest creative
work IS done, as a rule. in seciusion;
not necessarily apart from men nor III
solitary places, but away from The tu-
mutt and away from distractlng
sounds. There was organized in Paris
years ago 4 society for lie culture o.
rilence. On the occasion Of the initia-
tion of a distinguished man Of letters
bowl Of wafer was brought cut to him
I'm a room where be was waiting In
solitude. He studied it moment
placed a rose upon it and sent 1t back.
The water bore the rose without over
flowing. To the members assembled IN
another room the act was the most
convincing evidence that the Initiate
comprehended tie purpose Of the fell
lowship and was prepared in spirit to
become one Of tie company. The act
was a symbol which Americans may
wisely sully.-Gool Health.
