BAN FRANCISCO. July SO. Follow ing tbe death of Horace Flood of bu bonic plague In Contra Costa. 18 men hav been put to work by th Federal authorities in San Francisco and tha bay counties waging war against ground squirrels and rata, which carry th plague germ. The Contra Costa ca I the first reported to the state health authorities this year, snd It already has resulted In a state-wide enforcement of the law enacted by the California Legislature In 110, making It a misdemeanor for anyone to harbor ground squirrels. Tha squirrels are being poisoned and trapped by the Federal employes, who are making every effort to prevent the communication of the recrudescent plagu germ tn the rata of the city. During the past year the rat have been freed 'of the germ and It was thought until the occurrence of the Flood esse that the danger from In fection by the squirrels had ceased. The Federal health authorities were not summoned to attend the Flood boy until two days before he died, when it was too lata to ssva him. Dr. Rupert Blue, passed assistant surgeon of the United States Marine Hospital ' here, attended blm. "There Is absolutely no doubt that the boy died of bubonic plague." said Dr. Blue. "The complete tests have not yet been made, but enough was determined to decide the case finally. The Federal authorities have put men at work In the neighborhood, about a mile north of Contra Costa, and the state law regarding the harboring of ground squirrels will be rigidly enforced, it the squirrels can be kept from com municating the germ to the rats in Pan Francisco and other large cities, there is no danger; but It Is Imperative that the squirrels he stamped out." record n IS FID A.

Wash, July JO. (Special.) A fierce forest fire Is rag ing on mcoe Mountain, five mile north of OoldendHle. tonight. The flames are being fanned by a strong wast wind, and thousands of acres of yedlow pine timber are In imminent danaor. The fire started this morning In what Is known as the Pot Hole, and la ald to have originated through the carelessness of loggers, who had been clearing tha ground for a reservoir site, to ba used In connection with the Mountain Lake Irrigation Company project. The fjre soon got beyond con trol of th men on the ground, and to night It has burned over a strip about thr-e miles long and one mile wide tn the holdings of th Klickitat Whit Pine Company. There ar no settlers In the Immedi ate vicinity of the fire at present. The extent of the damage will depend largely upon the duration of the pres ent high wind. The settlers In the Three Creek country are very -much alarmed tonight, as the fire 1 travel ing in that direction.

Tha dinner at the court of Napoleon III lasted about an hour. (The Em peror dislikes sitting long at table.). It seemed almost Impossible that so much eating and drinking and changing of plates. In fact such an elaborate re past, could be got through within such a short-time. But It was! When their majesties had finished they arose and everyone rose at the same time. AU the chairs were drawn from under you. tant pis If you were in the act of eating a pesr and had not yet washed your" fingers; but never mind, you had to skip across the red carpet in order to let their majesties pass. A rather amusing Incident occurred st dinner. One of the foreign Ministers who was very vain of tne smallness of his feet .had donned a pair of patent leather shoes evidently too tight for him. During the dinner he relieved Mi sufferings by slipping his aching toes out of them. All went well until his chair waa suddenly drawn from un derneath him as their majesties were about to pass. In utter despair ha made the most frantic efforts to re cover the wandering shoes from under the table, but alas! the naughty things had made tlu-lr escape far beyond reach (a little way shoes have ofvdolng when left to themselves), consequently he was obliged to trip across the red carpet aa best he could without them. The Empress, who appreciates keenly a comical situation, had noticed with great amusement his maneuvers and embarrassment and (waa it just for a little fun?) stopped In passing and spoke to him. much to his confusion, for It was impossible to prevent her from seeing his little white shoeless feet The Ways of Society. Ladles' World. In the street the rule Is to keep to the right. It is rude for three or four persona to walk abreast thus Incon veniencing others. One or two should step bark and allow those behind to pass where there is not otherwise room. It is not good manuers to loiter looking In shop windows: one should walk quickly from place to place. It Is not correct for people to walk arm-in-arm, or for a man to walk between two wo men. A woman does not take her es cort's arm In the evening. He walks beside her merely to show that she Is not alone. A man should only touch a woman'a arm to -assist her over a crossing when ahe Is feeble or Infirm, or there should be sudden danger from which he needs to protect her. Voices should- be restrained In pub lic A quiet tone Is used In speaking. It Is a lack of refinement to discuss persons and mention namea. The worst manners are those of persons who seem to wish to attract 'attention In public, either by loud talking, laughing, or demonstrative gestures. When traveling, it Is not polite to monopolise more than a rightful share of space In a train or to fill another seat with bags or wraps, a though it were reierved for someone. If an other person asks If the Beat is re served, one should be prompt and gra cious In removing belongings and giv ing up the seat. When entering a public place a wo man precedes a man, unless there Is a large crowd and he can add to her con venience or protection by preceding her. ' A Bit of Old Rome.

How Flics Carry Disease. Christian Herald. If only one female housefly should survive the Winter and on April 15 lay onlv one batch of 1I0 eggs, the number ol files born from the succeeding gen erations would be In five months over five and a half trillions. The number of bacteria on a ingle fly may range all the way from 650 to C.60.000. Early In the fly season the numbers of bacteria on flies are com paratively small, while later the num bers are comparatively very large. The lapces where flies live ajso determine largely the numbers that they carry. The average for 414 flies was about 1.250.000 bacteria on each. It hardly seems possible for so email a bit of life to carry so large a number of or ganisms. The mOHt thorough sanitary precau tions are necessary In order to get rid of the fly. Manure piles must not be allowed near human residences. Screens, until we have learned to destroy the breeding places of the Insects, must be freely used. Fly traps and My poisons are effective helps In the process of ex termination. Most of those upon the market are good, and sticky fly paper ie especially recommended. Dr. How ard describes tn detail several of the modern fly traps and gives directions for their home manufacture. Formalin or formaldehyde, , diluted six to one with water and placed In a shallow dish, is a good exterminator. Pyreth rum. carbolic acid, laurel oil, and other deterrents, used frequently and with care, will kill or keep out files. When Jack Is Ashore. Harper's Weekly.
