three columns to the publication, of

Nation unfolding the development of

A bad Breath.

A bad breath is certainly repulsiye,
and very properly so, not only because
it is unpleasant in itself, but because it
can always be remedied with proper
care. If it proceeds from decayed
teeth dentist should be consulted; If
from disordered stomach it is case
for the physician. Two drains of
chlorate of potash mixed with six
ounces of rose water will make a pnri
flying wash to rinse the mouth With

Editing Poetry.

Newspaper traditions in New York
contain many quaint instances of the
art of boiling down copy. 1t is com
mon saying that a newspaper receives
twice as much matter as it prints. A
large sacrifice to the blue pencil or re-
jected copy spindle is inevitable. The
champion boiler of news in the New
York Offices in the days that veterans
in the business still remember was DR..
Wood, who exercised his art in The Sun
Office for many years, and the most ar
tistic feat OF condensation remembered
of him is worth recording. One night
a half column poem was turned over to
him to edit. Copy was copy to his
practical eye, and he set out to get at
the meat of the verses and state it in
the fewest possible words. This was
the result:
Do you lovo mel No.
Then go.

The Kentucky Methodist is the name
of the paper recently removed from
Lexington, Ky.,. to Louisville. 1t is an
eight-page paper, with five broad col

lent print, and is published at the low
price of $1.00 per year. Address,
The Kentucky Methodist, Louisville

wanted for this county, to- whom a
liberal commission will be paid.
AS almost every denomination, ex-
cept the Methodists, have a strong
paper in the state metropolis, ii would
seem that the Methodists would also
want one. If so, they should give
this paper a hearty support, as it is
or will be-, the best they can ever hope
to have.

\
1t is often matter Of speculation
how the multitude of street vendors In
Now York make living. In the vicin-
ity of the postoilice, opposite the Aston
House. arc always to be seen numerous
push carts some containing nothing
but bananas, invariably propelled by
lazy looking sons of Italy. Watch them
for an hour, or as long time as you
can spare, and the chance sales are so
small, so few and far between, that it
doesn't seem possible that enough bust
ness can be done to yield profit suf-
ficient to keep body and soul together.
Yet very few of them but turn out from
one dollar to two dollars a day clear OF
expenses
An average Of $3.50 per day, rain or
shine, is not unusual, There are no
expenses beyond the small capital in
vested in bunch of the succulent
tropical fruit. Very often this is fur
nished by another Italian, who may
Gus street stands, while the vendors are
operating on shares or commissions.
This capitalist is a sort of padrone, and
having himself sprung from the ranks
requires serupulous accounting from
his poorer countryInan, whose ainbi-
ton to own a cart and his own trade is
almost sure to be realized in the course
of time. The latter is then ready to \
marry and run an establishment of his
own.
He can earn as much as the average
day laborer, but he must be about the
streets early and late. The police reg
ulations compel him to keep moving.
Persistent violation of these rules is
likely to get him into trouble, though
''the finest" are very lenient in the ex-
ercise of their discretion in this respect.
The fruit cart is but one of the many
sources of livelihood of the street vend.
er, but its meager simplicity appeals
most powerfully to the imagination Of
the observer. York Herald.
The Census In New York and Philadelphia
The census of New York city at the
best constitutes most difficult prob
lem. In comparison with such task
a census of Philadelphia is child's play.
There we have city openly built, with
ninety houses to every hundred families. |
Tenement houses are rare. Few of the
people sleep in stables, in cellars or in
lofts. The houses are set squarely on
the streets. Four-iifths of the inhabit-
ants are native born, and all but
trifing PERCENTAGE are of English
speech.
Merely to state these facts is, to one
who knows anything of New York,
enough to show the difficulties of emu
in that city, which in 1880
had for 243, 157 families but 1854
dwellings, of which perhaps 20, 900 were
tenement houses within the meaning of
the sanitary acts. n
New York is a city of courts aR6ral
leys in the lower parts, and within Iou-
sands of shanties, sheds and inhabited
sites in the upper parts, and its popula-
tioniis almost equally divided between
natives and foreigners, no small pro
portion of the latter element using
languages other than English--not
merely the more or less familiar Ger
man and French, but Slavic and even
tongues.-General Francis
A. Walker in Forum.
