STREET WORK.
A Diversion of the Market.Street
Sewer at the Ferry.

The Street Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors decided yesterday morning to
recommend that the Laguna Survey Com
missioners' term of Office should be eX-
tended six months from October 2Sth.
long discussion followed the PROPOSE
ton to fix the grade on Army street, be-
tween Mission and the San Bruno road. at
81 feet above base instead of 81 feet as origi-
nally proposed by the City Surveyor.
0. c. Pratt opposed the change, as it
would work great hardship on him by
necessitatng $4,000 extra cost OF filling. NJ
7. Jones expressed n like sentiment, but
the general sentiment Of property-owners
and of the Superintendent of streets was,
however, that the higher grade would bene-
lit the greatest number
DIR. LIE Tourneux. in behalf of the Board
Of Health, favored raise in the grade, so as
to give better fall to the Army-street
sewer. At present there is a vast amount
OF malaria and diphtheria in that neighbor-
hood, aud something should be done to
remedy it.
Tile committee decided to recommend the
21-foot grade.
Engineer Marsden Manson appeared be-
fore the committee and asked for the CO.
operation of the Board Of Supervisors in
dlyerting the Market-street sewer to the
necessary to make some change so that
there would be no interference with the
construction of Section 8 of the sea-wall,
and proposed that the sewer be turned into
the bay at the foot of Washington street.
1t Will be recommended that the Superln-
tendent OF Streets cooperate with the Har-
Dor Commission in this matter.
DIR. lie TourneuX of the Board of Health
urgently requested the committee to recon-
mend the immediate flushing and cleansing
OF the main sewers throughout the city he
said that the city is still threatened by an
invasion of cholera, but still more serious Is
the prevalence of diphtherla in a most
malignant form through0utthec city.
Mr.. AShwOrth, Superintendent OF Streets,
replied that he is Going all the flushing that
he can, and is positive that the sewers have
not been so clean in fifteen years. lie FUR
Their stated that he is flushing at the rate OF
5000 a month, and denied that he had told
the clerk of the Board of Health that he
would not do any flushing. MIR. AshWortn
is OF the belief that the sanitary condition
OF the city wOuld be greatly improved II the
police and health inspectors would be more
attentive to their duties and prevent saloon
keepers AID others from emptying refuse
ana swill into the cesspools.
DR.. lie IOurneuX said it is desirable to have
general flushing of all sewers in the city,
but the committee replied that the funds at
the Superintendent disposal would not
permit so great an expenditure. z-
The acceptance of streets will be recon-
mended as follows: HYDE street, from
Green to Vallejo; Chestnut street, from Du-
pont TO Stockton Dupont street, from Chest
nut to Lombard; Fillmore street. from
Union to Fibert; Cough street, from Hayes
to Grove.

Whistlina for Seals.

F. F. Payne, of Toronto, records in
the -1msrieas Naturalist an interesting
fact which often came uuder his notice
during prolonged stay at Hudson's
Strait. "IIere," he says, ''the Esqui-
mau might often be seen lying at full
length at the edge of the icee foe, and
although no seals could be seen, they
persistently whstled in 4 low note, simi
lar to that often used in calling tame
pigeons, or, if words can express my
meaning like plaintive phew-ew, few,
few, the first note being prolonged al,
least three seconds. IF there were any
seals within hearing distance they were
invariably attracted 10 the spot, and il
was amusing 10 see them lifting them
selves Is high as possible out OF the
water aud slowly shaking their heads, as
though highly delighted with the music.
''Here they would remain for some
time, until one, perhaps more venture
some than the rest, would come within
striking distance Of the Esquimau who
would often change the seals tone of JOY

as fast as possible. The whistling had tc
be continuous, and was more effective ii

a Fortune in Frees.

"About twenty five years." said an
old attendant in the big Washington
Market, "several men made fortunes al
catching frogs aud sending them to
market. The hind legs were cut off,
skinned, washed, and, after being mildly
saltea, were sent away in barrels. Prices
used to range from nifty cents to seventy
Eve cents for a doAea pairs of legs, and.
as sales were quick, there was a pile of
money in the occupation.

sold man Weld used.to hire boys to
kill the frogs for him, g tving them five
cents or six cents a dozen. The frogs
were SO plenty that many ofahe children
earned good wages, evenaat that small
price. Weld dressed the ifrogs, corned
them and shipped them to Boston in bar

involves more expense. They bring
higher prices than those that are shipped

Animals in India.

India is never silent; whether Ia the
city or jungle one is always surrounded
by vigorous and sometimes obtrusive ami
NAL life, and in writing of the every day
life of the country one should never lose
sight of the relation which exists between
it and that Of the people. 1t is really
one of the great attractions Of India,
provided always that one does not object
to living for a while on terms Of daily
intimacy with the animal kingdom.
With us in the West animal life is ban
ished from our cities, or exists only in i
state of bondage, and it is daily becom-
ing more difficult to get within rifle shot
of any wild creature. But on entering
one of the crowded and primitive old
cities of India one cannot help wonder
ing TO whom ali these animals belong, and
why this bullock is blocking the narrow
street, or ruminating in the front door
way of q fine house. But VIC are not
long finding out that these animals have
quite as much right to the stree. az we
have. For the most part, all these beasts,
save the monkeys, arc gentle and well
behaved, rarely prcsuming on their priv
fleges; and their placid confidence in
human nature shows that their trust has
never been betrayed Many Incidents in
the Arabian Nights, which even after =
long familiarity with the Moslem Eas.
may have seemed to belong 70 the do
main of pure fantasy, become to the ob-
server in India simple illustrations Of
every day life.
