completely renovate the city from a
sanitary point of view. One large main
thoroughfare will traverse the whole of
the poor quarters. Porto. Pendino, Mer-
cato, and Nicaria, while regular cross
streets will run ut fixed intervals. Some
sites considered to be too unhealthy will
not be allowed to be occupied. For the

their families who will be dislodged by
these changes new and healthy quarters
will be found in the Arenaccia district.

Pie is not one of the inventions which

etymology, a first cousin of paste" or
"pasty." Pie is our name for what is now
more familiarly known as tart" III the
land where all was once pasty.
The tart of to-day differs from con-
temporaneous pie only in this: The in
terror of the tart is thicker than the in
terror of the pie. 1t takes more apples
to make tart than to make pie, if the
pie-maker be frugal. as she generally is.
In the European countries the tart is

BY the new process of toughening tim
Der it is claimed that the effect produced
upon whitewood is such that a cold chisel
is required in order to split it. This re-
suit is accomplished by special method
of steaming the timber and submitting
it to end pressure, technically "upsetting
it," By this means the cells and fibers
are compressed into one compact mass;
and it is the opinion of those who have
experimental with the process that wood
can be compressed to the extent of some
IS per cent, and that some of the timber
work as carriage-building, for instance,
can be made valuable by this means as a
substitute for ash, hickory, etc.-Chicago

4 Pauper Child Left Adrift-Hundreds
of Vicious Descendants.
As an illustration of what unorganized
and indiscriminate charity leads to, the
case of Margaret, the Mother of Crimi-
mails, is quoted from an authority on the
ssubject
Margaret was a pauper child left
adrift in one of the villages on the upper
Hudson, about ninety years ago. There
was no almshouse in the place, and she
was made the subject Of outdoor relief,
receiving occasionally food and clothing
from the town officials but was never
educated or sheltered i'll proper home.
She became the mother of a large race Of
criminals and paupers which has cursed
the county ever sinde. The county rec
ords show 200 of her descendants who
have been criminals In one generation
of her unhappy line there were twenty
children. of whom seventeen lived TO
maturity. Nine served terms aggregat-
in fifty years in the state prison for high
crimes, and all the others were frequent
inmates of iails and almshouses.

which brought them upon the court rec

degradation they caused To others. -
