Jessica surveyed me disapprovingly. "I think I

monologue on Mrs. Warburton's fallacies, during

nap. l had not yet felt the force of the lady's per-

Mrs. Warburton arrived promptly at eight the fol-
lowing Tuesday evening, in a gown whose attrac-
lions brought a light into our world-weary eyes. It
was one of her good points. hitherto unchronicled,
that she dressed superbly and with sympathetic
understanding of her own type. We had invited
only one other guest, Jessica remaining firm in her
fiaith that the occasion warranted a presentation Of
her views as we'll as those of Mrs. Warburton. The
fourth member of our little party was a newspaper
editor, rather yellow as to his journalism. but of
great personal charm. and with a brain whose
strength even Jessica humbly acknowledged. As for

The evening opened auspiciously. Ushered into
my bedroom to take of her wraps. Mrs. Warbur-
ton commented at once and rapturously upon the
rising-sun quilt made by my Observation-Disclosures
"a proper appreciation of which is indispensable in
guests in our home. She also said fitting things
about our Delft and brasses, and realized the an
tiquity OF the Japanese prints on our dining-room
walls. Moreover. she hung in rapture over Hedwig's
mayonnaise. and mentioned casually that 1.-THE
Waikurie was her favorite opera. l melted to a
degree which imperilled the frmness of the frozen
punch, while even the editor, frankly prejudiced
against her as "a menace to the community" turned
on her a momentary kindly CLEAN. We had reached
the salad before Jessica lured her toward her hobby,
which Mrs. Warburton needed no urging to mount.
She leaped into the saddle with a bound. Once there.
1t may be %pardoned an abrupt departure from met

her chin in her hands, and turned on us the eFulg-

usually does.
Dear lady" she said, suavely. what you cali our
inspiring lives is really a difficult and painful
scramble for the accumulation of an income large
enough to live on in this expensive city. There is
nothing inspiring about it."
But your professions-your splendid work-your
books, your lectures. your influence over the tender
minds of your pupils'-began Mrs. Warburton.

mothers. not thus determined to the task, free to
enter the arts and professions if they choose. She

But with a gulp of alarm young Griaing had fed,
leaving a train Of suffered excuses in his wake. Sub
sequently ! caught sight OF him lurking in the
shadows of the outer hall, from which safe shelter he
made frantic signals to his mother. conveying his
hlial readiness to escort her home. To such of these
as she saw that strong-minded lady made no re-
spouse: Once during her ponderous passages
through the rooms she stopped for a few words with
me, and in the course of these l caught over her
shoulder a glimpse of her sons white, stricken face
asking her for his hand, and the reflection led me
to prolong the interview to a degree which evidently
caused Mrs. GriAing much surprise and qualification.
l learned, incidentally, several interesting facts about
Mrs. Warburton. She was a widow, and childless-
a condition in which even the loyal soul of Mrs.
Grifing seemed vaguely to see a providential hand.
"Her husband didn't live long" explained Mrs.
Grifhng. simply. MY son thinks She killed him with
her ideas. but. of course. it wasn't anything she did
it was pneumonia"
She drifted away after this handsome vindication
OF her friend; and with a sudden realization that the
night was advanced l again sought Jessica. l found
her wearing the expression of ~alertness her face takes
on only when she is intensely interested.

on a convenient divan, tueking a small cushion COM

Do You Get Your Beauty" Sleep ?


AS race we sleep too little. An
infants life is nearly all sleep. Grad
ually as the child grows older the
hours of sleep are shortened to half
the day, or about eight hours.
Youth until the age of twenty is
reached requires fully ten hours sleep.
Although nature demands fewer hours
of sleep in summer than in winter, it
has been proved that eight hours of
sleep are required for the average adult
in good health.
By this is meant not simply eight
hours in bed but that amount of good,
sound, restful sleep night after night.
Our power to work is intimately re-
lated to our ability to sleep, and there
is no more reliable indication of sound
health than the capacity to sleep natu-
rally, and the more active and ener.
getic the waking life the deeper the
sleep.

Work of Investigating Diseases Which
Health officers Must Guard Against
Is Danserous-Some Cases ouaran-
tine Officers Have to Deal With.
Smallpox No Longer Feared.
The death of DR.. Edward F. Ashley,
meteorological expert on the quaran-
tine staff of DIR. Alvah H. Doty, chief
health officer at the port of New York,
who was killed by malignant spinal
meningitis, contracted in the course of
an autopsy, throws light upon the
risks that every man faces who
chooses to help defend the public
health against infectious diseases.
Germ hunting has never been q safe
profession either in yellow fever
camps or at quarantine stations.
'1n this line of work a man has to
be an enthusiast said DR.. Doty.
"Fearlessness is as essential a char
acteristic of the men who work with
me down here as it is of soldiers. Be-
fore man is chosen he is looked over
very carefully, with the result that
our staff is composed of none but pick
ed men.
"When a recruit arrives here he re-
alizes the proposition that he is up
against hard work and constant risk
of contagion that may end fatally.
For awhile the novice, like the soldier
in his first fight, may be conscious of
his personal danger. But that feeling
never lasts long. If it should quaran-
tine station would be no place for
him. A man soon becomes so bound
up in his work that he forgets the
personal element entirely. This is so
not merely theoretically; it is so actual
1y in practice"
Diseases which are all in the days
work at quarantine have rates of NOR
tality ranging from 20 to so per cent.
Sometimes there will be a mild assort-
ment of diseases to be turned away
from the gateway of the country. At
other times the whole energy of the
department will he aimed against one
enemy. Such a case occurred last
summer, when New York was threat
ened with cholera.

the slightest indispOsition Until the
cause of that indisposition was found
the boat was kept anchored in the bay.
Some of the boats thus held up were
ocean liners carrying large number
of passengers, all of whom were eager
to reach New York with the least pos
sible delay. This meant night and day
work for the doctors, especially for the
psychologists, for the test for cholera
involves protracted labor besides sew
eral hours for growing cultures.
Samples would perhaps be brought
to the laboratory in the evening. The
bacteriologists would start in after din
ner and work till midnight. In these
emergency cases, after a few hours
sleep snatched at the station itself, the
doctors would start in again at 4
o'clock, so that the investigation might
be completed at s, and the complaining
passengers could be landed after break
fast.
work of this sort, with its constant
effort and occasional spasmodic strain,
Is not only likely to make the man
more susceptible to disease, but to un-
dermine his health directly. In some
cases man by various methods NAV
to considerable extent protect him
self against the diseases which he has
to meet. Vaccination will prevent con-
tagion from smallpox. In all cases
systematic cleanliness will go long
way toward preventing infection. But
the strictest attention to these prin-
ciples will not prevent contagion when
man has to carry sick child ashore
In his arms, as he often does.
Jail Fever Hard to Handle.
One of the worst diseases the quar-
antine officers ever have to deal with
is typhus fever, which used to be
called Jail fever. No form of inocula-
tion and no prophylactic measures are
Of any avail against this disease, the
germ of which has never been discoy-
cred. The doctor who deals with it
must rely largely on luck and strong
constitution. An epidemic of this
scourge struck this city a score of
years ago. at which time 700 cases
were reported.
Plague is another of the more dread
ed diseases, because no inoculation
against it has yet been proved effec-
tive. Smallpox is no longer considered
so dangerous as it used to be. The
rates of mortality, in fact, from the
complications of measles, scarlet fever
and diphtheria are greater than that
from smallpox.

Capitol Election Date Fixed.

Bills fixing August as the date for
the special new Capitol election and
providing for board of four com.
missioners to supervise the construc.
ton of the building passed the House
Friday. Both measures had been
previously approved by the Senate.
The House amended the commits
sion bill so as to limit the pay of the
members to $500 per month. This
will necessitate the return of the
measure to the Senate for concur
renee. The commissioners of the
permanent seat of government, con-
sisting Of State officials, are en-
powered to appoint the Building Com
mission, which will be bipartisan.
No one interested to any manner in
any manner in the construction of the
building may be appointed to the
commission, which will be composed
probably of experts, thus relieving
the State officers of the direct re-
sponsibility of supervising the con-
structiOn.
