Mr.. Smalley writes in the Tribune:
The most voracious and authorita-
tive statement which has yet appeared
about the alleged Irish famine comes
from the eminent philanthropist and
Quaker, Mr.. James ii. luke. His
name is familiar to everybody who
knows anything about Irish distress.
He has been working for many years
in the most practical way to relieve
distress where it exists. Nobody
knows more about the facts. His ex-
perience goes back to 1876, when he
was one of the workers for the relief
of the famine. He now says, first,
that there is no danger of what is
termed famine; second. that the
nrea over which u serious failure OF
the potato crop exists is limited to a
few western unions; third, that the
general condition of the people in the
congested districts renders them bet
ter able TO bear the loss, partial or
entire, of the potato crop than in 1880;
and fourth, that the people are not by
any means so dependent on the potato
for daily food as formerly, and that
they each year consume larger guam
titles of wheat -four and Indian meal.
Mr.. Tuke states explicitly, what is
known to everybody who has looked
into the question, that the potato crop
throughout Ireland, except in the wet
and boggy lands of these congested
districts, is good and is selling at
moderate prices. Within the limited
area where the crop is likely to fail
he recommends vigilance to the gov
ernmcnt. He thinks that relief
works will be needed, but knows that
the government are fully alive to the
exigency.

Good Pavements are Cheapest.

Our city fathers might study very
proftably report by Consul Sherman
located at Liverpool, England, on the
pavements, tramways, sewers, and ar
tisans' dwellings OF that city, pub
lished in the last number of Consular
Reports The corporation of Liver
pool, he says. has adopted the policy
OF constructing its public works in the
best possible manner, and in this way
has succeeded in reducing the cost of
maintenance to a minimum. Since
1872 only impervious pavcments have
been laid, and Liverpool has now 250
miles of the best paved streets in the
world. The wisdom of this is not
only seen in the reduced death rate,
which has declined from 27.2 per
thousand in 1880 to 20.3 in 1888, but
in the reduced cost OF maintenance of
the streets. In 1879 the estimated
expenditure of the cost of keeping 226
miles of streets in repair was $780,
0S0; in 1889 the estimated expense
for the same was only $40, S24 for 2jO
miles OF pavement. Permission, he
says, is never given for private par
ties to cut through the pavement OF
any street for any purpose. When
such work is necessary, the corpora
ton will do it in its own thorough
way, and the interested parties must
pay the entire cost. All the street
car tracks are laid and owned and
kept in repair by the city. and the
company using them pays an annual
rental OF 10 per cent. on their cost.
Accompanying this report are the
specifications under which the streets
are paved and the sewers built, which
show that most thorough work is re-
quired. Scientific american.

WOMAN'S INTUITION.
Nearly Always Right in Her Judgment
in Regard to Common Things.


An old gentleman over seventy,
came into the city from his farm,
without his overcoat. The day turned
chilly and he was obliged to forego
his visit to the fair.
To friend who demonstrated with
him for going away from home thus
unprepared, he said: Il thought it
was going to be warm; my wife told
me to take my overcoat, but wouldn't.
Women have more sense than men
anyway"
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come
from intuition; may it not be that they
are more close observers of little
things. One thing is certain, they
are apt to strike the nail on tho head,
in all the ordinary problems OF life,
more frequently than the lords OF Gre
alton.
