President Barrett. of the Board Oh
Public Works, Makes suggestions
tOthe Council.
The board of public works submitted to the
meeting last night communication relative
to the street improvements to be made dur
ing the year 1887. In the communication the
board referred TO one of n like character sent
by it to the council in December, 1885, re-
ouesting that all orders for street work be
sent without unnecessary delay, in order
that contracts might be let during the winter
and early spring, and WORK commenced at the
earliest practicable moment. The result OF
the action by the council upon the communi-
cation sent in 1855 was that prior to July l,
1885, contracts for more improvements, In
number and greater in cost, were placed than
during the entire year of 1885.
The advantages resulting from the plan
of putting under contract this year i'm
provements To be made next year
are that the work is invariably let for much
smaller price than it otherwise could be,
thus making saving to each property owner.
The property owners upon the line OF In
provement would also have several months
notice and ample time to make arrangements
to meet the expense and pay their assess
ments A careful comparison of the prices
for which street paving was recently let in
Minneapolis, with the prices for which SINH
lar work has been let in this city The present
year and previous years, leads the board TO
the inevitable conclusion that great saving,
at least 10 or 20 per cent, and probably more,
can be made to the property owners If the
improvements referred to, and recommended
by this board as proper to be made, should
be ordered and placed under contract without
unnecessary delay. Accompanying the COM
munication was Il report from the city engi-
neer giving the following streets, which
ought to be, and probably will be, improved
during 1887, and which could be put under
cnntrant Ut the nreSenl time:

How Kitty was Cured.

Foolish little Kitty Gray would jump

saucer well supplied with good sweet
milk. But Kitty thought it nice to be
IA little thief and help herself to little
sips of cream from the pantry. Several
times she had been caught and punished

TO make no difference; she would first
lump to the shelf, then step carefully
upon the edge of the bowl, and softly
Zap the thick, rich cream with her little
naughty red tongue. One day BERTHE

a quick push, in she went, head first,
into the splashing cream. She floun-

Tad LincOIn's Fast Day Picnic.

If there was ever boy in danger of
being Il" spoiled" it was the youngest
son of President Lincoln. He was al
ways boisterous, rollicking boy. Great
was Tad's curiosity, in 1864, to know
what was meant by the presidents
proclamation for day of fasting and
prayer. His inquiries were not salts
factorily answered, but from the serv-
ants he learned, to his great dismay,
that there would be nothing eaten in
the White House from sunrise to sunset
on Fast day. The boy, who was blessed
with vigorous appetite, took measures
to escape from the rigors of the day. 1t
happened that, just before Fast day
came, the family carriage was brought
out of its house to be cleaned and put
in order. Tad stood by, with feelings
of alarm, while a general overhauling
of the vehicle went on, the coachman
busting, rubbing, and pulling things
about, quite unconscious of Tad's anx-
ious watch on the proceedings. Pretty
soon, drawing out queer-looking bundle
from one of the boxes under the seat, the
man brought to light part of loaf of
bread, some bits of cold meat, and various
other fragments of food from the
larder Tad, now ready to burst with
anger and disappointment, cried, " OIL
o! give that up, l sayl That's my Fast
day picnic" The poor lad, from dread
of going hungry, had cautiously hidden,
from day to day, a portion of food
against the day of fasting, and had
stood by while his hoard was in danger,
hoping that it might escape the eyes
of the servants.-lSt. Nicholas.

Testimony of Chicago.

While we admit that high license as
a revenue has been a success ESQ would
license on gambling-houses and houses
of prostitution afford rich revenue to
the state), as a restrictive temperance
measure it must ever prove failure.
The friends of high license often refer
to Chicago as an example of success,
but the report of the grand jury of Cook
county, just out, gives scathing evil
dence of the lawlessness of the licensed
liquor traffic in Chicago. We have room
for only one passage. The grand jury
say /" that majority of the cases of
robbery, murder, theft and violence
that came before them originated in the
lowest dens which are licensed as sa-
looms" 1t may be that in few in
stances saloons are reduced in number.
But it matters but little, so far as fa-
cilities for drinking are concerned,
whether there be two or but one sa.
loon left on a block. Clearly, no one
that wants will needs go dry. Again
the following number of arrests for all
causes and for drunkenness is taken
from the reports of the police commits
sioner, from 1880 to 1885, and given in
round numbers.

Toledo physicians bear testimony to
the fact that no man can drink beer
safely, that it is an injury to any one
who uses it in any quantity, and that
its effect upon the general health of the
country has been even worse than that
of whskey. Beer as an article of
ordinary diet has been discontinued in
at least twenty-seven pauper lunatic
asylums in England, with the result
that in no instance has the apparently
important change led to any sort of
physical inconvenience. Many of the
superintendent in whose asylums the
modification was made, and also many
of the patients, testify cordially to the
benefits of the change. The question,
says the Journal Of Mental Science, is
not one of teetotalism, or even primarily
of financial order, but one of pure
expediency and good management.
- The National Medical Associ-
alton in 1884, in convention assembled,
declared that alcohol should be classed
with other powerful drugs, and when
prescribed incidentally it should be
done with conscientious caution and a
sense of great responsibility, and that
it would confine the use of Intoxicating
liquors to the uses of science. - A
New York physician says: 81 have
carefully examined each number of the
London Lancet for the last six months,
and fail to find the report of one case
out of the many cases treated by the
best English physicians in which alco'
hol in any form was ordered or used

the glazed sides so slippery poor Kitty
might have drowned had she fallen in
accidentally. BERTHE let her stay until
he thought it cruel to keep her there
any longer; then he helped her out.
Poor Kitty ran dripping away, and hid
somewhere until it was dark. 1t was
not very kind for BERTHE to do as he did,
but when he promptly told his mamma
the truth about it, she said she would
forgive him if Kitty was cured of her
naughty habit-and she was. From
that day Kitty Gray never was seen
near the cream-bowl again. In fact,
she would run away and hide if any one
was seen approaching with the bowl in
hand.-Selected.

BY this table It viii be seen That the
arrests for drunkenness have steadily
increased from $4,000 to nearly double
that number in five years, and the pas
sage of the high license law had no per-
ceptible effect on crime or drinking.
Now, then. if it be true that one great
bedrock fact is found in police and
grand jury reports, it is of more value
than a score of mere theories, then
shall we look for no more appeals to
Chicago in behalf of high license as the
shorter way to temperance and prohi-

Temperance.
A Many-Sided Reform.

From an article in LaW and Order
we quote as follows: "The temper
ance reform is many-sded and is bring
ing to its support many and widely diff
fering agencies. Among these we may
name first the church, which is taking
hold because intemperance is the great
est foe to religion, and does more than
any other vice to keep men away from
church and religious influences. The
church is coming grandly into this re-
form because it realizes that intemper-
ance is destroying and making unfit for
heaven the souls of hundreds of thou
sands of people. The church more and
more is realizing her duty as mission
airy to these souls that are being drawn
down to ruin and death from her very
gates and even from her Sunday-school
classes. The women are taking hold
OF the temperance reform in desperate
earnest. 1t is the wives and mothers
who suffer most bitterly from the curse
of intemperance. 1t is the women
of the land who are shaving night
and day to keep the families together
and to provide the means to save them
from starvation, because the husband

strong drink. The army of women
whose banner bears the inscription
"For God and Home and Native Land, )"
and whose insignia is the white ribbon,
grows daily in numbers power and in
tiuence. The corporations and individ-
uals who employ large numbers of labor
ers are taking hold because they recog-
nize the fact that sober employe is safer
than one whose brain is befuddled by
liquor; because they know that sober
man can make a better yard of cloth than
one who is, or has recently been, intoxi-
Gated. They are taking hold because
they have learned that it pays in dollars
and cents to be able to reckon upon the
prompt appearance and healthful con-
dition of their employees on Monday
morning. The newspapers are taking
hold in the newspapers way, because
the doings of the people interested in
the good cause has come to be news
which the people wish to find in theil
papers; because the reform was 60
ing, and the faithful recorders of events
must chronicle all things that have
passed the era of talk and taken on the
form of action; because the news
papers, however much they may be de
cried, are generally welded on the sid'
of the moral elevation of the people,"
