Among the Diplomats.

The British ambassador and Lady
Spring-Rice entertained dinner party
at the embassy last night, the event
being one of several such parties in
the last few weeks. Some cabinet
members and others from official life
and resident society were guests last
evening.
The charge daffaires OF Persia and
Nine. Ali Kuli Khan will have rather
reminiscent dinner party at the legation
tonight when they entertain the former
minister to Persia and Mrs. Charles
W. Russell informally at dinner. When
the charge d'affaires and Nine. Ali kuli
Khan visited Persia Mr.. Russell enter
tanned charmingly for them. and except
for recent deaths in the family of Charge
dAffaires and Nine. Khan, the party to-
night would be a much larger one. As
it is, Miss Lucy Russell, Miss Mahin
Banou Behjat- the niece of
NJ Khan and the chief of the near
eastern division of the State Depart
ment and Mrs. Albert H. Putney will
almost complete the party.
Mr.. Vuros, acting Greek minister. will
go to New York the first of the week
and will open the ball to be given there
by the students of the Greek schools.
He will remain in New York several
days.
Peruvian minister and Nine. Pezet, who
are Just back from a trip 70 New York
and Boston. are leaving the end of the
month for Peru on leave of absence.
Nine Pezet is much occupied with super
intending and packing away of things
about her home here, for, as she says,
one never knows what a leave of absence
may terminate in. and while she hopes
they will come back, no one of the diplo-
matte corps can ever be sure. Nine Pezet
and her jovial husband have host of
friends here, and the sincerest regret
would be felt if their leave of absence
should end In transference of post.

HEALTH INSTRUCTION IN
AN INDIANA COUNTY

/. Common sense is an uncommon
quality. Those who In their
searly youth read and enjoy the
William Henry Letters, will re-
caIl that this was a refreshing
characteristic of that young hero.
When sent away to a boarding
school he was told that he would
have to take dancing lessons in
order to learn how to enter a
room. He could not see the
need of taking lesson for this
purpose. He said. Just walk
right in.' One of the most
difficult lessons to learn is that
she way to do thing is to do it.
The county health commissioners
bf Union County, Indiana, feels
shat one Of his duties is to teach
blle people of the county how to
keep we'll. He has accordingly
prepared a little seventy-five
page pamphlet, made up largely
pf material published by the
various state boards Of health.
The board of county commits
4ioners made an appropriation to
4end q complimentary copy to
every home in the county. The

THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

The following letter from the
Middleton Tennessee State Nor
NAL School has been received
from Leslie Gold of this city.
Mr.. Gold states that he and Mrs.
Gold, who are attending the
school. are feeling good and
working pretty hard:
Murfreesboro, Feb. %. The
opening of our winter term was
very gratifying. We had a hum
dred new students. large per
cent of whom were boys, so that
our school now stands in uni
que position. There is doubtless
not a Normal school in the coun-
try that has a per cent of boys as
has M. T. NJ, according to the
u. S. Commissioner of Educa-
ton. The institution is sorely
in need of a boys dormitory and
we tried to impress this fact up
on the large number of legislators
who visited US on Jan. q. Our
domestic science department
served an excellent meal to 200
guests, and then in our big audi
forum, crowded to its capacity.
our students sang and yelled,
the orchestra played and enthu-
siasm generally ran high. Most
of the speakers indicated that
they realized our need and wish
es to help US with a large appro-
priation. M. T. N. has the pupils
and the spirit. We need addi-
tional accommodations and we
believe we can have a great in
stitution.
This year NJ. T. N. is having
attractions that are enter
tanning and refining to all the
students. Among the noted lee
turers are DR.. Hall and Mr.. Par
lette. Each of these men gave
the students a great deal to
think about and a great deal to
remember and left them with
higher ideals. The concert by
the Hungarian Orchestra, that
played at the White House, and
has an enviable record, was a
great sourse of pleasure. Some
predict for the leading violinist a
a career like Kubelik's. The
Fisk Jubilee Singers, who made
a tour of Europe in recent years,
gave a concert on Friday even
ing. Feb. II. The proceeds went
to the Athletic Association,
whose members have made such
q famous record this year. In

Winter Flies.

! The winter season, naturally.
is not the period in which most
persons are likely to take meas
ures to prevent the breeding of
flies. In the summer, when
che flies are thick, the wish will
be frequently heard that pre-
ventlve precautions had been
taken. In the course of an in
spection, January z. by the
sanitary bureau of New York,
in response to complaints regard
ing a heap of manure, dirt and
rubbish not far from a public
school in crowded district of
the city. rather startling state
of affairs was revealed. The
heap of manure was found partly
covered with tar paper and rub
bish in which, despite the cold
weather prevailing-and there
had been not long before series
of days with the temperature
we'll down toward zero-flies
were observed to be actively
breeding. The Bulletin remarks
THE emphasizes the Importance
of properly caring for horse
manure throughout the year and
teaches anew why the filthy fly
is always with us. Until de-
finite precautions are taken dur
ing the winter to prevent ac-
emulation of heaps of filth and
particularly piles horse manure,
in exposed situations under con-
ditions favorable for breeding,
the fly viii probably continue to
be the nuisance and the seric us
danger to health that it has al
ways been. But it must not be
forgotten, says The Journal of
the American Medicine Associa-
tron, that whenever we are
ready to get rid of the fly
nuisance, our boards of health
can accomplish this purpose
without enormous u b e,
probably after the first year
without much additional expen-
diture in the budget, and with
little annoyance to the public
generally. When it is recalled
how much the absence of this
undesirable pest would mean for
children clone in our crowded
city life, it should not be long
before there is a general awak-
ening to the necessity of taking
the now well-recognized precau-
tions during the winter that will
secure great limitation, if not
|entire obliteration of fly breed
ling.
