before re-occupied, I beg to ad-
vise k quotation of the law itself
will serve as an answer to your
question, which is as follows:
"No person shall offer for hire
or permit anyone to occupy ap-
partments previously occupied by
a person ill with smallpox, scarlet
fever, diphtheria or tuberculosis,
or any quarantinablt- disease, un-
til such apartments shall have been

matter what hla feelinga on the aub-

menta are made to auit the season, aa
proclaimed by the emperor, although
they may not auit the Individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
ayatem of ordering the aeaaona la the
practice obaerved in France In all pub-
lic buildings. There It la winter on

the employes exchange their whlta

Ruakln as a Grocer.
Ruskln was once a grocer. In 1874
he opened a shop In Paddlngton street,
NotUng Hill, In order, aa he an-
nounced. "to supply the poor with
pure tea In packcts as small as they
choose to buy, without making a prof-
it on the subdivision, larger orders be-
ing, of courae, equally acceptable from
anybody who carea to promote honest
dealing." The shop did not attract,
Ruakln complained in "Fora Clavlgera"
that "the poor only like to buy their
t«a where It Is brilliantly lighted and
eloquently ticketed; and ao I resolute-
ly refuse to compete with my neigh-
boring tradesmen, either in gss or
rhetoric, the patient subdivision or
my parcels passes little recognized as
advantage by my uncalculatlng pub-
lic." The sliop soon closed down, and
the grocery trade lost the most dis-
tinguished representative It Is ever
likely to possaes.—London Chronicle
When Artists Cant Agree.
Lodging complaints against artists
la a common diversion of their fellow
tenants who lack the artlstlo tem-
perament, but tbe most unusual griev-
ance and from her standpoint the
most vital has been registered by tbe
Janltress of a building largely occu-
pied by struggling painters.
'Let them daub away all tbey
please !•> their own rooms," she said;
"that u nobody's business, but for
goodnest sake let them leave the
clothes poles 1l tbe backyard alone.
They paint them fresh every few days
because no two of tbe artists can
agree on an appropriate color, and
when plain people who don't mind
looking at a plain clothes pole hang
out their wash tbe clothes get all
smeared with fresh paint."
Monkeys and Gum.
In tropical countries tbe naUves
bave many unique ways of catching
monkeyo. One of tbem, aa explained
by a traveler. Is this: The hunters
walk about in short boots,ln sight of
tbe monkeys Then they take th«
boots off, place some gum In tbe bot-
toms an' leave them on the ground,
withdrawing themselves to a great dis-
tance. Presently the monkeys come
lown from the trees and try on the
)oots anu when the hunters come after
them thu boots stick to the feet of the
Donkeys and they are unable to ellmb.
Thus tbe lmltaUve little animals are
captured.
Money by Their Ultvtr
Work.
The Navajoa are today by long adds
the most prosperous Indians In Amer-
ica Their vast reserve offers ample
^astureage for their sheep and ponies,
and though their Bocks are a scrub
lot, yielding little more than fifty to
seventy cents a bead In wool on tbe
average, still It costs nothing to keep
sheep and goats. Both furnish s sup-
ply of meat The hides fetch resdy
money 8o do the wool and the
blankets. And tbe Navajos are the
flnest silversmiths In America. For-
merly, they obtained tbelr supply of
raw bullion from tbe Spaniards', but
today they melt and hammer down
United States currency Into butterfly
brooches and snake bracelets and
leather belts wltb tbe 50-cent coins
changed Into flower blossoms with a
turquoise center. Ten-cent pieces and
quarters are transformed into neck-
laces of silver beads or buttons for
shirt and moccasins. If you buy these
things In tbe big western cities they
are as cosUy as Chinese or Hindu
silver, but on the reserve there Is a
very simple way of computing the
value. First take the value of the
coin from which the silver ornament
la made. Add a dollar for the sliver
smith's labor, and also add whatever
the value of the turquoise happens to
be and you have the price for which
true Navajo sllverwork can be bought
out on the reserve.—Travel Magaslne.

People of Star Island, Saya Cslla
Thaxter, Grind Out Sounds With
Tremendous Exertion.
Among people of average musical
ability there is less singing than there
used to be. Nearly everybody enjoys
singing, and tbere was a time when
nearly everybody was expeeted, on oc-
caslon, to sing But from different
causes—a more exacting standard, the
rivalry of the phonftgraph. and other

than they were. It is a matter for re- ' 9_21-tf Anja WlLSON,
gret from one point of view, and from
another for rejoicing.
In • recently published letter. Cella
Thaxter tells how some of the Star
Island folks, during her long residence
at the Isles of Shoals, used to slug.
"Their singing," she declared, "was
truly astonishing, Indeed, I might say,-
excruciating They go at It precisely
aa If they were sawing wood, and
grind out the sounds with such exer-
tion that their faces become crimson
and tbe perspiration stands In beads
on their foreheads."—Youth's Compan-

Competition.
"You still assert that competition
Is tbe life of trade?"
"Ob, yea," said \lr Oustln Stax
"But wc don't care to compete for a
chance to sell our goods. What , we
want is to find people with their
money out competing for the privi
lege of buying them."

Ha Callsd.lt Luck.
Michael Meehan waa the proud pos-
sessor of a brand now silk high hat
At the wake of his dearest enemy ha
bad guarded It carefully, and as a con-
sequence was strolling home with the
tile unscathed. As he passed the site
of a building operaUon, a woman ac-
quaintance nodded pleasantly. With
an ostentatious wave of the hat, which
exhibited it to excellent advantage,
Michael bowed. At the same moment
a brick sailed down from an upper
floor and bounced from his bared
skull. Upon coming to, he Inquired
anxiously for the hat A bystander re-
stored It unharmed. Mike felt the
egg-size lump on bis head occasioned
by the Impact of the brick, and then
regarded his undamaged tile. "B'gor-
ry," he ?lghed In saUsfaction, "ifa
lucky It is I saw the loldy In totmel"—

A Professional Paradox.
The study of science Is not neces-
sarily all gray; It may have Its rosy
patches. It Is said that a learned pro-
fessor of Heidelberg forbade his stu-
dents the repetition of a certain ex-
periment
"But," they protested, "It has air
ways been successful."
"Nevertheless," he said, "its poslUoa
among experiments is absolutely un-
tenable from an Intellectual point of
view."
The boys stared.
"The thing may answer very well In
practice," said ths professor, "but it la
not sound in theory."—Youth's Com.
panlon.
Habits of Hedgehog.'
The hedgehog passes the winter In
sleep, with circulation almost sus-
pended and body flres banked. It car-
ries a reserve of glycogen and fat,
however, and recent investigations
have shown that soon after awaken-
Ing it warms up by a rapid burning of
glycogen. This carbohydrate proves
to be tbe chief fuel, the fat being quite
anlmportant The animal may be
awake at a low temperature, for tbe
awakening Is distinct from the warm-
ing up, and whether the latter Is vol-
utary or an automatic process Is Mi
ret determined.
The Iron Crown of Itary.
The historic Iron crown of Italy
has played a romantic role in the his-
tory of the peninsula. It was made
In the year 594 by the command, It Is
said, of Theodolinda, the widow of a
Lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to a duke of Turin.
The crown Is of Iron overlaid with
gilt Its significance was supposed to
lay in the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightened by
Its splendid exterior. Tbe Iron of the
Inner portion was traditionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifixion.
For a long time the crown was In
the keeping of the famous monastery
at Monza. In 774 It was brought
forth to be placed upon the bead of
Charlemagne as "King of the Lom-
bards," and on later occasions It fig-
ured In the triumphs--of Frederic IV
and Charles V. Finally in the pres-
ence of all tbe representatives of
state, the foreign envoys and princes
and officers, Napoleon Bonaparte sol-
emnly united It to the crown of
Prance.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of It is the legitimate
representative of the basilica of Mon-
za. The title of "grand custodian,"
however, pertains to the head of Jhe
order of Cavaliers —Harper s Weekly.

Light of the Firefly.
The statement that the light of fire-
flies and other phosphorescent animals
Is produced without any sensible de-
gree of heat has often been repeated
without any Information as to the
quanUty of heat that would be required
to produce a similar amount of light
by artificial methods. This Information
Is supplied by Professor Mcintosh He
says that a temperature approaching
2.000 degrees Fahrenheit would be neo-
essary to make a light equivalent to
that emitted by an -jrdinary firefly.
The enormous waste In all Industrial
methods of product g light Is a mat'
ter of common knov ledge and the
example of the firefly -emalns unlmlta-
ted by man. The very simplicity of
the mechanism employed by nature
In phosphorescent animals Is baffling.
