EDITORIAL NOTES.

At Walton, near Liverpool, six hundred houses have been condemned by the health authorities as unfit for human habitation The buildings are less than five years old.
 The Somerville (Massachusetts) school board has passed 8 resolution forbidding class presents from pupils to teachers. This is an example which might proftably be imi- tated.
 The weather forecasts of M c. Montigny, of Brussels, for the years 1883 and 1894 have, it is said, been verified to the letter. They nave been based on the hypothesis that blue largely prsdominates in the twinkling of the stars when there is much water in the atmosphere, and that the preponderance of green, or more rarely violet, is indicative of great dryness. He conducts his obserya- tions by means os an instrument called a scintillometer, and the predictions are made for long period.
 Some of the taxpayers in the city of New York think that there is too much real prop erty in that city exempted from taxation. The assessed value of such property is now $265, ,00O, ,000. A similar report few years ago placed the amount at $205, 1000, ,000 These statements, of course, include the property of the city, which is valued at SITS, ,S94 ,060, exclusive of it's interest in the Brooklyn bridge. In ten years there has been an increase of SIS, ,O00,0 900 in the as- sessed value of exempted church property; while in that owned by schools, asylums, libraries, etc., the increase has been $19, ,00O,- 900.
 ! Collecting garbage ct convenient places and burning it has been recommended by leading sanitarians. The cost of the neces- sary fuel has heretofore stood in the way of this plan. In Pittsburg this difficulty is to be obviated by the use of the natural gas. The Penn Fuel Gas company has offered the municipal authorities of that city gas suff- cient for the purpose free of cost, provided the burning is done at night, when the mills and factories are idle and the gas is not re- quired to run them. It is proposed to es- tablish four sets of furnaces at convenient points and reduce the offending garbage to harnless ashes on the shortest notice. The extraordinary. fatality of measles is attracting the attention of the public and calling for the comments of medical men. Since January last 450 children have died of the disease in New York city, while in 1884 l the number of deaths for the same period was only IA, while the total for the year was 782. The doctors say that the same causes which have recently carried off so l many grown people with pneumonia have I made measles unusually fatal-sudden and violent changes in temperature. They say,

Pleasures of House-Hunting.
lExchanpe.I


 The mode adopted by most persons ladies especially-in looking for house is what I call "ticket-gazing." In other words, they hurry of to those districts of the town In which they hope to find what they want, and begin business by staring around them looking for tickets, and then demanding to see the house. In this way they cover daily large surface of ground, and mount many stairs, seldom or never finding the exact kind of house they arc in search of. That is bad plan but, as all houses to let are not advertise d., fancy it cannot be helped, and some ladies, believe, would rather than not do their house-hunting in this mode; it IS exciting, and sometimes little adven- turous.
 To save time and useless travel, be- gan by looking over perfect little army ot advertisements, but did not at the mo- ment find one such tenement among the number; and here may express my as- tonishment that so few house-agents know how to advertise The greater number of the places to let are given without the rent being stated. One agent, noted the other day, announced as to be let batch of twenty-six houses of various sizes, and to not one of tho announcements was the rent affixed. In examining these lists of houses tn the papers, l only came upon three lists out of eleven that contained the figures. I fancy there must be some reason for this state of matters, but am stupid enough not to see it. A statement of the rent wanted is the first element in all house-taking bargains, and why house agents should be aversed to stating the sum proposed is one of those trade mys- teries which seem so ridiculous 10 out siders.

In the early. days ef Methodism iu Scotland, certain congregation. whert there was but one rich man, desired to build new chapel. A church meeting was held. The old rich Scotchman rose and sad: Brethren, we dinna need a new chapel: I'll give L5 for repairs"
 Just then bit of plaster falling from the ceiling hit him on the head.
 Looking up and seeing how bad it was, he said: Brethren, it's worse thon thoucht I'll make it 90 pun'."

The Last Signature.
lExchange.I

General Grants last signature wa made upon the back of a check for S1 COX sent him by the Century Publishing company. This check was a great sur prise to him, as it was above anything h, had expected. He had received iron them all the money that had been prom ised for the articles that he had furnished This check was given him by the Censur, people above the contract price on ac count of the great value of what he had furnished them. This unexpected premium gave the general great pleasure He signed a receipt for the check bu did not endorse the check. This he pu m his pocket and carried for the day.
 Towards evening he called for a Den He indorsed the check slowly, but at the same time writing the signature clearl, and without trembling. After endorsing the check he handed it to Colonel Fred Grant. The colonel intended to go down to Saratoga with it, but his father sud, denly grew so i'll that he was unable tc leave.
 Then he thought that he would like to preserve this last signature. At the sug. gestion of Mir. Dawson he sent the in. dorsed check back to the Century com. pany, asking them to cancel the check and send him another check to put in the bank, with the first check endorsed by his father.
 During the last week of General Grants stay here he was in constant receipt oi letters from publishers offering him from one to five hundred dollars a column for anything he might care to write. One publisher offered him SIoo for anything even for half dozen lines.

Life is Worth Living.

John w. Overall, in New York Mercuryl
 There are few instances of men of gen. jus lamenting their failure to achieve wealth, or in fact position, social or polit- icAl, or even literary. Their moments of exaltation arc such as mediocrity dreams not of and arc compensatory. "You will be writing veises to women when you are seventy years old" said a so-called prac- tical man to an American author. He prophesied correctly. But what of the status of the two men2 One in his age is buoyant and hopeful ot brillianter future than even Victor Hugo dreamed in his half-inspired state. The other is a Washington lobbyist, with no higher as- piration than a good dinner and badly earned fee for a rascally job. He enjoys, too. the unenviable appellation of "the old fraud" There never was greater heresy than that life is not worth the living" It is downright ingratitude in man to feel that way, much less linguaiis- tically expressit. Every man and woman, whatever may be their situation or con- dition, should receive life thankfully The ever-good Creator gave human be- ings life as use, and if they misappro- priate it that is their misfortune. No man would ever feel despair or disap- pointment if he set about thanking the Creator for sunshine, for water, for flow CTS, for the glorious scenery ef the forests which is grateful to the eyes, and the splendor of the variegations of autumn. Every season, in fact, has its glories. To make human beings contented, there needs to be knocked out of the world the internal atheism which ignores God and deifes man.

Books in the British Museum.
lChambers' Tourual.l

JSNAD0AsI
 How the books accumulate here! The museum is enc of the five libraries in the kingdom to each of which Is secured by law copy of every publication, the copy right of which is registered al Stationers' hall, the other libraries being the Bod leian at Odord, the public library at Cambridge, the faculty of advocates at Edinburgh, and Trinity college, Dublin. Authors and publishers often feel it a harship t- be compelled to present copies of their books to some or all of the other libraries, but rarely do they grudge the copy which goes to the great national library. For the year 1883 the number of accessious to the library obtained in this way was To 6I2 volumes, besides many parts of volumes, pamphlets, music, maps, etc. But this presents but small proportion of the yearly additions to the library. For the same year there were presented 6o2 volumes, and purchased ? $50 volumes, these latter being princ- pally publications in foreign countries. The gross total additions of all sorts for the year was 94 3o6. Some idea of the extent of the horaTy may be gained from the size of the general catalogue, consist ing of over 900 volumes, most of which are still in mauuscript. although begin. ming was made in 1881 with the labor of printing it. The amalgamatou of the several catalogues from which it Is com piled has taken years to complete. About fifth of the task was finished when the present reading-room was built, and DOW, nearly thirty years after the york is on the eve of the being completed.
