AT THE MODEL cHURCH.

Well, wife, I've found the model church, /
worshipped there to-day
1t made me think ofthe good old times, be-
fore my hairs were gray.
The meetin' house was finer built than they
were years ago;
But then, found when went in it wasn't
built Tor show.
The Sexton didn't lead me away back by the
door,
He knew that was old and deaf. as well as
old and poor;
he must have been a christian, for he led
me boldly through
The long aisle of that crowded church to
find pleasant pew.
l wish you'd heard the singin'-,t had the
old-time ring;
The preacher said, with trumpet voice. aLe
all the people sing"
The tune was Coronation, and the music up

Who Cot the Best of It.

In the sage brush seetioa of Nevada
lived a poor family consisting Of hus-
band wife and little boy. The neaest
neighbor was a wealthy bachelor, who
roughed If on one of the best stock
farms in the State. One night about
a month ago the bachelor ran off with
his neighbor's wife and came East, but
to what city is unknown. Instead Of
following the destroyer Of his peace the
husband went over to the stock farm.
took possession and there hold sway.
The community has decided that ne
shall not be molested, and that every
head of the bachelors cattle belongs to
the injured poor man. What this sto-
ry lacks in detail, it makes up in
truth.

ClaraLouise Kellogg in an interview
with a New York Herald repc rter.
speaking Of Adelina Patti, says:
Patti has retained, wonderfully well,
her youth, her popularity, her lovely
voice during her extended operahc
career, and when I heard her lately,
she charmed me more than I can tel
you. Not having seen or heard her
in long time. I was anxious to avail
myself of the first app5rsauity, and
I was early IN my box that 1 might
not lose a moment Of tie occ sion to
which l had been looking forward.
The opera was the Barber of Seville, :
and watched eagerly for her coming.
Would she look the Patti of old?
Would She have altered greatly2
Would she seem still more the woman
and less the girl Of old days? There
she was at last aud I was agreeably
disappointed. Thesame pretty figure,
a trife larger perhaps, bnt still very,
very pretty. and, to my mind, just
right in its proportions; the same IN

mouth, perhaps; just a little line
drawn at each side, but still the face,

Her manner was exactly the same as
ever, as bright and lively and engag-

her acting better and more finished by

THE STREET CLEANING PROBLEM.

The difficulties of cleaning the streets of this
city are admittedly great, but they are not in
surmountable. AS Captain Williams says, the
system may be defective and the expenditure
permitted by law inadequate to overcome the
natural obstacles to clean streets; but that does
not justify despair Of oil systems or demand
absolute extravaganza in carrying out better
one. The natural difficulties encountered here
are found 70 be as great in London, yet London
is kept comparatively clean. The area of prin
clpal thoroughfares kept clean in Paris ia much
more extensive than that of our main streets,
yet Paris is an exceptionally clean city.
A hint of the best solution of this vexed prob
lem may be found in the distinction between
cleaning streets and keeping them Clean
Therein lies the difference between the systems
employed abroad and in this city. In London
and Paris the Street Cleaning Bureau is not
Police, but Health force. There it is not q
matter of crime to be watched by o detective
but of hygiene, to DO supervised by physician
Dirty streets are guarded against there as pes
thence is here-prObably even more systematic
cally. They do not cure; they prevent. They
do not so much clean away filth as they prohibit
its accumulation. The streets are not the com
mon receptacle Of household refuse, as in New
York. On the contrary, the general public Is
protected from individual carelessness and
waste. In tnct, economy 10 encouraged by the
very difficulties which the law throws in the
way of the easy disposition of waste material.
There they accept hints from nature, and do not
refuse the aid Of showers as we do, housing the
sweepers the moment the rain begins TO fall
instead of plying the broom while the streams
that flow would carry of the liquid mud. In
times Of drouth they flood their streets with
water daily, while we suffer from dust-laden
atmosphere.
OF course, such system as Paris and London
have for keeping their streets clean requires
time, sensible legislation, and genius fer its
perfection. Yet the system is tine same simple
plan which every thrifty housewife uses. 1t
demands economy aud constant watohfnlness,
and it 10 rather arbitrary. Yet il would entail
no moIe elaborate system, no more positive
regulations, no moro Intelligent service. and no

NEWLY-ELECTED REPUBLICAN, SENATOR'S.
In the changes which will take place in the
United States Senate OH the 4th of March the
Republican side will gain largely, not only in
numerical strength but in intellectual force and
i'm the sort of talent adapted to the practical
work of the body. No old Republican members
who have played an important part in National
politics and legislation drop out; while number
of new members come in whose past careers

Congress, and one Of the readiest and mort

the higher fields of legislative work. A strong
party man, but not strong partisan, the coun-
try has long looked to him for broad and clear
interpretations of the organic law and for wise
and moderate opinions on current politics.
Massachusetts reflects the veteran Dawes, whose
Congressional career dates back almost to tho
first organization of the Republican party, who
was the Father of the House before he went
to the Senate in 1875, and whose work IN both
bodies makes part of some of the most i'm
portant chapters in the legislative history of the
country for the last quarter OF century. Mr..
Dawes is not brilliant man, but he is indus
trious, conscientious, a clear, vigorous speaker,
and hard worker on committees, and his long
experience makes his services peculiarly valu-
able TO his State and the country.
From Maine, in place of that gallant and
sturdy old soldier of the Republican host, Han
nibal Bamlin, comes man who is yOnng, ao-
tive, versatile, energetic, and possessed OF
a remarkable experience in public affairs for
oneot his time of lite. Before Mr.. Hale left
