FLATS.

Flats are now cultivated extensively
throughout the country. Some varieties
are short and scrubby; others grow to
an immense height. Almost every fat
has a spinal column running up and
down its centre. This Is the elevator
shaft, and consists of hot air.
When a flat Is more costly than peo-
pie can afford to live in, 1t Is called an
apartment. A fiat In its primitive
state consists of a small bathroom, al
most completely surrounded by total
darkness.
A fiat is a substitute for home, at one
time a popular winter and summer re-
sort, where traditions are allowed to
grow up carelessly. Now in every we'll
conducted fiat the traditions are drawn
out every morning through a tube by
the pneumatic-cleaning process.
Babies happen occasionally, even in
the best-regulated flats. Thus we see
that nature, even under modern sur
VIGILANCE, sometimes mods.
Flats are constantly growing in size
and importance. 1t is estimated that
very soon they will hold all the people
In the world. who will then come to
depend entirely upon u fertile ROOF
gardens for their means of sustenance,
Flats have an awful mean tempera-
ture of two degrees below zero In Win
ter and ~ degrees above zero in sum-
mer.
When an the trees have been made
into flats. it is thought the millennium
will have arrived. Every fiat has the
word welcome" over the kitchen door.
Also many of them this motto:
A We who enter here leave soap
behind Tom Mason in Success.

..CoNsUMpTIoN, REpoRTABLe AT LAST.

Very tardny but better late than never" the Board of Health, after having
the question before it at various times for years, has finally placed tuberculosis
on the list of diseases that must be reported. 1t is on the reportable rsto of most
progressive cities In fact this has been a duty owedt to he public eve since
medicals science established the factt that tuberculosis, the Great White Plague
that kills more persons every year thai all other diseases combined. Is cor
nuncable, preventibe and to a large extent durable. To perform its proper
functions in taking all possible measures to safeguard the public health, a
knowledge Of the existence and surroundings OF all cases of communicable dis
eases is necessary to the board. The skiful use of it should in time greatly de-
crease the spread of the plague, which, al Dr.. wrightson shows, runs u into
about eight hundred Eases yearly in Newark.

The Call of the Shore.

WITH a face as pale
wv AS the whithered heart of thu
whitest rose,
And a hand as frail
AS the faintest breeze at the evening"
She followed the call of the foam
specked sea
And the sun and air
To the shores of Content where the life
is free.
Where the world is fair.
With a step as slow
AS the wearied drip of the drought
dried fall,
And a voice as low
AS the faintest note of the night
birds call
She wandered away to the Land o
Dreams
Where the Good Times dwell
Leaving behind her the city's scream
And a land of He'll.
With a face as bright
AS the dew-washed red of the poppy's
cheek.
And a step so light,
She came aglow. to the streets that
reek
With the filth and fume-
And her heart was glad, and her voice
sang out
In the stealthy gloom.
