THE PEDOME

One Of the most curious little instruments
brought out lately, says Eli Perking, is the
pedometer, a small machine about the size
of watch, which you carry in your pocket
to denote the distance you travel on foot or
ride on horseback 1t is a very accurate
machine. A friend Of mine put one in his
pocket the other day and walked from the
Fifth Avenue Holel tothe Central Park and
back, Strange to say, it marked the dis
tanee as accurately as q surveyor could
measure it. The little machine works this
way: It tells the number Of steps you take
during given time. To get the length Of
these steps you take an average. That is,
you walk 200 feet then count the number Of
steps divide the number of inches travelled
by the numder of steps, and you will have
the length of your average step. Then set
the pedometer and start.
The other morning Young married lady,
Mrs -, who had an idea that her uus-
band was "larking" it too much when he
ought to be in his Office attending to busi-
ness, put pedometer in his pocket book.

band sauntered out and took the stage he

After promenading through the park, visiting
the seals, the ostrches, the baby lions, and
the museum, the sentimental husband re-
turned home.
"Ah, ducky, where have you been--you
look all tired out?" asked the wife, as she
kissed him as usual.
"oh, down to the office; the same old
drudgery. Oh, yet, I'm SO glad to get back
to my little wifey." ...-
"Did you take the stage at the door,
sweet?" asked the wife tenderly.

And round her waist she felt II fold,
And down the dusky street they went
Where soda and ice-cream are sold.
Never you mind the crowd, lad,

Imuenehmemt I'm France.

As President Grevy and the Ministry are
decidedly opposed to the project for the
impeachment Of the Duke de Broglie and
18th May it is very certain that any motion
made to that effect will be voted down by o
satisfactory majority. Indeed, we cannot
see that this motion has had any serious
chance for success in the recent turn
of events. An inquiry was ordered to
be made into De Broglie's conspiracy with q
specific object in view; but that object has
been accomplished in another way, and
those who could have used that inquiry in
way dangerous to DE Broglie know this
and are disposed to hang the now useless
weapon on tho wall but the contankerous
men of the Left want to get the old blum
derbuss of, if only ut dead game. With
MacMahon in tho Presidency land in an
attitude of defiance toward the will Of the
nation, and with the political elements Of
which Dc Brogie is the type behind him -
there was constant menace and possible
danger to the republican constitution daily
Haunted in the eyes of the nation. But
the strong republicans knew how to con-
jure that danger. They knew that the
last reactionary Ministry was compromised
before the law by its actions, and they
proposed to fight this enemy with the i'm
peachment process. But that enemy is
dead, and the reactionary conspirators
are as much out of the game Of contem-
porary French politics as tho Mcrovingans.
1t would be only folly, therefore, to dis
turb' public tranquility with them now,
and the Assembly will not permit that
folly.

A Dragging Enterprise.

Captain Paul Boyton complains vigor-
ously and justly in another column Of the
delay that has marked the supposed enter
prise for turning "Nan the Newsboy," and
his associates into permanent and effec-
tive life saving corps on our river front. The
Captain naturally feels uncomfortable about
the matter because at one time his own
name was associated with the undertaking,
and public blame for delay and neglect is
always likely to fall upon the most prom
inent parsonage that appears in the matter.
1t is certainly time for the committee which
took the local life saving enterprise in
charge to either do something or admit
their incapacity by resigning their work
into ADLER hands. After the assurances which
the boy received it will be disgrace to the
city if whatever is to be done falls finally
to Captain Boyton, a nonresident, and with
no more responsibility in the matter than
he may in his good nature and sympathy

A Message to the Governor.

We respectfully invite the attention Of
Governor Robinson to the character Of the
gentlemen who take lively interest in the
prosperity of the Blissville stables, us mani
tested in their treatment of HERALD re-
porter, whose story will be found in another
column, and OF the doctor employed in ex-
amining the unfortunate animals that are
rotting in that pleasant retreat for diseased
cows. We also beg the Governor to mark
the conduct of the deputies of the Sheriff
of Queens county who are intrusted
with the duty Of carrying out the
quarantine regulations enforced by order
of the Executive Of the State for the
public protection. The character of a
business may be pretty correctly judged
by its surroundings We might ex-
pect to find gangs of rowdies and ruffians
standing up for the supposed rights of a
disreputable gambling den or .disorderly
house, while we should bo astonished to
meet such company at church or school
house. The vagabonds who threatened
the HERALD reporter with assault at the
Blissville pest house are just the sort
of creatures one might expect to encounter
at depot for the sale of swill milk and dis
eased COW beef The Governor has no in
terest in their actions, except SO far as they
tend to confirm the expediency and justice
of the prompt steps he took to put a
stop to the Blissville nuisance and
peril. But he h6s some interest and ought
to have something to say in the matter OF
the disgraceful inefficiency or indifference
of the Sheriff Of Queens county in carrying
out the Executive orders. There can be no
efficient quarantine at the offensive stables
when crowds Of ruffians are allowed to
invade the premises without permits, and to
insult and threaten those who are there in
pursuit of lawful business. The Sheriffs
deputies, in failing to keep the peace and to
enforce the proper regulations, prove that
they are ignorant Of their duties, Indifferent
about obeying orders or incapable of filling
the positions they hold. The Sheriff is
responsible for the acts of his deputies and
answerable to the Governor for his official
conduct. This is the particular point to
which we desire to direct Governor Robin

termining upon this subject, as a great
deal of the trouble that has always been
caused in our city school rooms by bad
air is due largely to the ignorance
or carelessness of the very persons who
by the Boards letter are appointed
to be their own judges. II they have
OF late been taught anything new about the
laws OF ventilation, or been stirred up to
use such knowledge and facilities as they
possess, and have no fear of the Boards
displeasure before their eyes, their reports
Will be interesting reading; but all this is
too much to be hoped for. The proper
persons to ascertain the condition of school
room air would be physicians, builders or
other specialists who know something OF
the movements of air, and who can Judge
of its quality by the appearance and symp-
toms OF those who breathe it. We do not
question the intelligence of New York
teachers, for it is generally known to be
of high grade, but men and women of
a generation in which even the most intel
ligent stife uncomplainingly in homes,
churches and theatres are not the persons
to decide upon a question so vitality affect
ing another generation, which every one
hopes will be m improvement upon the
present one. The worst that the teachers
will probably say is likely. for the various
reasons we have suggested, to come far
short of the truth.

Rand Transit Crossings.

So long as the III" railroad companies
divided the passenger traffic of this city be-
tween them in accommodating the east and
west sides by the New York Elevated and
the Metropolitan railroads respectively
there was little difficulty in regulating the
running Of trains so as to insure safety.
But now that both companies have their
roads over common sections of route on
the east side the serious question arises
whether public safety will not be endan-
gered by such q combination. In selecting
the routes for the IL" roads the Rapid Tran
sit Commissioners very unfortunately and
injudiciously planned q crossing at Chatham
square which circumstances and the
ordinary needs of rapid transit render i'm
practicable. Assuming that the trains of
the two roads intended to pass over this
section common to the two east side routes
were despatched from the stations above
and below Chatham street ut the intervals
required for the accommodation of passen-
gers it would be impossible for them to
pass each other at that point. by decreas-
ing the number of trains to one quarter,
and thereby reducing the accommodation
seventy-fve per cent, the crossing would
still represent q point of danger which
under no consideration should be per-
nitted to exist We print elsewhere to-day
ON article on the subject of rapid transit
crossings which fully explains the diff
Guilty to be overcome in regulating the
traffic on the east side without incurring
the risks OF grave disasters.
On rival roads crossing each other on the
same level disaster is merely question of
time. 1t is imperatively necessary, there
fore, that such roads should neither cross
each other in that manner nor have COM
mon section Of track. To insure against
collisions and other dangers, rs well us in
terruptions oil the whole rapid tsuhsit system

The Railroad Telegraph Line.

The refusal of the Senate to strike from
the Army Appropriation bill what is known
as the Butler railroad telegraph amend
ment may be regarded as insuring the pas
sage Of that measure. There is, of course,
the constitutional way of defeating it by
veto, but such n course on the part of the
President may be looked upon as an ex-
ceedingly improbable event. In passing
the amendment the friends of this new tele-
graphic legislation profess that they are
actuated entirely by desire to build up Q
rival line to the Western Union Company
and in that way reduce the cost of tele-
graphing to the public. The question in
which those who use the telegraph are
most interested is, Will this legislation
accomplish that result? In other words,
does the amendment in question confer the
authority upon the railroad lines to COM
bine so as to form continuous circuit? II
it does not why it is worth very little more
than the paper it is printed upon. General
Butler it will be seen from an interview on
another page, is very clear in his mind that
Congress has power to legislate upon this
question under the clause of the constitu-
ton in regard to post offices and post roads.
Precisely the opposite view is held by the
Western Union Telegraph Company. The
railroads, they maintain, not having been
chartered by the States tor the transmission
Of Intelligence" cannot engage in that
business without express charters from the
different States. The recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
what is known as the Florida case appears
to sustain General Buffers theory, butt is
hardly probable that the Western Union
Company will be content to rest under that
Interpretation of the law. Fully as the
question has been debated in Congress it is
likely to be still further discussed in the
courts. Whatever benefits the public may
ultimately obtain the lawyers, according to
the present outlook, will reap the first
rewards from the new legislation.

The Forty DAYS, Fast.

There begins to-day n religious obser-
vance the spiritual significance of which is
probably more clearly discerned in our age
manifestations changed to degree that
once would have been regarded as very
wicked and decidedly detrimental to pros
poets of felicity in another world. In the
early days Of the Church the fast Of the
Lenten season, covering forty days, like that
of Christ and Moses, was period of the
strictest abstinence. No more food seems
to have been allowed than was necessary TO
sustain life, and the quality consisted only
of bread and water, and no exceptions to
the rule were permitted. Regarded at
one time as in itself meritorious
act fasting often consisted of entire ab-
stention flom food for days at time.
Later in the history of the Church the re-
strictions as to quantity of food were re-
moved, but the quality remained the same,
and there were doubtless devout people
who trembled for the fate Of Christianity
when the rules of fasting were so far re-
laxed as to prohibit only flesh, eggs, cheese
ana WING, DuL SOIueuOW Lueu COuLlu ueQ 10
worship and church after church was built
At the present day, although nearly oil
churches profess to keep the great
fast, and some individuals obey to
the uttermost the promptings of severe
consciences, the strictest Church rules
allow, practically, better food and more
of it throughout the whole Lenten
season than the religious in the earlier GEN.
turies enjoyed in any season of the year.
Abstention from meat is a prlvation to be
endured with calm resignation by the faith
full who have oil the other stores of market
man and grocer to draw upon. better or
more timely sanitary measure could not be
devised than the declining of heating food
during the period in which the season
changes from cold to warm for this reason
the most consistent of matorialists and in
fdels would be benefited by subjecting
themselves to Church rule during Lent, but
SO far rs actual physical suffering from
hunger is concerned the Lenten fast has
lost all its terrors
