MANS WAR ON WILD THINGS
Triftes Seemingly of Small Significance Have Power to Cause Much
 Irritation.

There are awful little things be- tween two people. Here are some of them.
 M43. When tired, the wife has d peculiar yawn, roughly "Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hool' The husband hears it com ing and sometimes curdles within him.
 M98. Every morning in his bath the husband sings, There is a fountain fill'd with blood drawn from Emman- uel's veIns'-always the same.
 M124. The wife buys shoes quar- ter size too small and always sllps them off under the table at dinner Then she loses them and develops great agitation. This fills her hus- band with m unaccountable rage.
 M68. The wife Is afflicted with the eliche habit and can generally sum up situation by phrases such as: All k not gold that sHtters.' Or, such ts life" or Well, well, it's | weary world. The husband can hear them coming

mourning. No one knows about any
 save apparently well and strong men.
 "If there be a case of illness in
 white laundry, the sufferer is sent
 home and the doctor is called If 1t
 be of a conta gious or infections char sacter. the laundry will be promptly quara ntined, while all it's employees are examined. If the case be in the .proprietor's home he cannot come to
 business nor can others of the fam .ily whether they have been near the
 sick person have been careful to
 keep away. They have. to fight to
 prove the latter fact.
 In case of illness of the natures
 mentioned there has to be fumiga-
 ton of the laundry, rigid inspection
 before and after. and a great deal of
 precaution which need not be detained.
 Still more is required of the white
 laundry. Should any of the patrons have contagious or infectious illness
 in their families or even the suspicious
 thereof. the company dare not take
 the work of these people It's teams
 seer standing before the homes of
 such. would mean the positive falling off of it's business and loss of. con-
 fidence it could never regain. ONT could the afflicted family bring nor send it's laundry to its usual place without having it rejected This is so fully understood that no one tries to make the laundries break their rules 'aThe Chinese laundrynan works in the same place in which he eats, sleeps. receives his company and is said to be addicted to the habit Of opium smoking. It is on record, after the police visited some of his habitants that the latter supposition was correct and involved not only himself, but out siders. Some of the interiors are not very dirty, but there is none that warrants approval Others are filthy, black with dirt, no air, no light. no ventila tion; the floor slippery and foul: the walls, often mere wooden partitions, some times infested with water and other bugs: hunks for sleeping with dirty coverings are ranged along these walls. There does not appear to be any closet space provided, as the walls are fes- tooned with wearing apparel.
 "The laundry apparatus is of the most primitive character; sometimes it is the old fashioned tub, where the laundry is not of long duration. os is situated in a neighborhood not giving much patronage. Sometimes these wooden tubs are so grimed and old that no one could tell when they were new nor of what sort of wood they were built In no case Is there any lavish use of water. The Chinese laundrymanf is a careful individual, work in a few gallons of water. the only time that he thinks he needs more water apparently being when the bot tom of his tub shows drryness.
