TINE TELLING FLOWERS. - AL.
most every flower has time for
opening or closing its petals, and
a particular way Of doing il. But
there are some flowers which are
regular clocks, and others are reg.
ular barometers. The common
"chick.weed" is sensitive to cloudy
weather, and The "pimpernel," or
poor mans wealher-glass, hangs
IFS head at the approach of a
storm. There is a flower called
"iour.o'clock" which opens at that
hour. The "morning glory" opens
at three o'clock in the morning
and closes about nine or ten, ac.
cordlns TO It's location. Tie even.
ing primrose" opens between five
and seven o'clock in the evening.
Plants sleep just as animals do.
When The little "marsllia, water.
plant, goes t. bed, its four leaves
meet with a ''cllck" that can he
heard. Some petals droop in
slumber and others fold crossways
while a few curl up lenglhways.

POLITICS I'm CITY BUSINESS.
It has long been plain to students of the
problem of municipal government that
such government ought to be of business
character, and that politics should have no
place in it. The men who manage city
affairs should be selected for their fitness
to deal with the business of the city, and
not for their views concerning the tariff or
the silver question. This truth has found
such acceptance at Williamsport, Pennsyl-
vania, that the board of trade there has
taken interesting action. 1t has declared
in favor of electing members of the city
councils irrespective of party lines, and it
has been unanimously resolved to request
the political organizations to refrain from
making nominations at the coming contest.
1t will be interesting to notice what
happens in Williamsport as the result of
this action. If the political organizations
there are like the political organizations
in most cities they will pay very little
attention to the request of the board of
trade. But whether they do or not the
board is on the right track. AS things go
now, any small politician who is good
worker Cor his party can become promi-
nent in city affairs by the help of his
party, and party lines are usually as
strictly drawn in municipal as in State or
national contests. The result is that the
business of cities is often poorly done,
that places on the city boards are looked
upon as political plums, and that it is
considered of much greater Importance
that they should be held by good party
men than by good business men. There
is general complaint of the condition OF
things in our cities, and there is occasion.
ally some effort to improve it. 1t could
be very much improved if the citizens
would act as citizens in local elections and
not as partisans.

CLEANING LONDON SIDEWALKS

CLEANING LONDON SIDEWALKS.
1t has perhaps been found difficult, or
impossible, in London to compel house.
holders to keep sidewalks clean, and q new
law concerning the cleaning of sidewalks
has just gone into effect thsre. Formerly
London householders were required, as
householders in American cities are, to
keep their footways or sidewalks clear of
snow or other obstructions. Under the
new act this duty is placed upon the city,
one of it's clauses reading: $50 much of
any act as requires the occupier or owner
of any premises in London to cause the
footwsys and wateroourse to be swept and
cleansed is hereby repealed. It
shall be the duty of every sanitary au-
thority to keep the streets of their district,
including the footways, properly
swept and cleansed 80 far rs 10 reasonably
practicable, and to collect and remove from
the said streets, SO far as is reasonably
practicable, all street refuse" the express
sion street refuse being very comprehen-
sively defined in general Interpretation
clause as "dust, dirt, rubbish, mud, road
scrapings, ice, snow, and filth" As a
means of enforcing the law it is provided
that if any sanitary authority neglects his
duty he may be taken summarily before a
justice and punished for his failure by
fine not exceeding twenty pounds. In
the last resort the county council may exc
cute any work which the sanitary authori-
ty has neglected, and recover the loss by
summary process, together with any fines
which may have been incurred, from the
vestry in whose district the neglect oo-
CURED.
American cities will do well not to hssti-
ly initiate this action. 1t will be we'll for
them to make further progress toward
keeping the streets clean before tackling
the sidewalks.
