A Decision About Grading New Streets.

A Decision About Grading New Streets.
"Roads are constructed for the use of the
public, and there is no law requiring cities
and towns to construct approaches from the
houses or lots of adjacent land wne to
the travelled part of the way or to grade and
construct the way up to the lines of the lots
to enhance the value of the property"
The above is an extract from the decision
of the full bench Of the supreme court dis
missing the petition of Albert Metcalf and
others for a writ of mandamus to compel
the city of Boston to prepare Common
wealth avenue. formerly Massachusetts
avenue, in Brighton for travel. The petit
TONERS own IL large tract of land abutting
on this thoroughfare in Brighton and
wanted the court to compel the city to
grade and fit it for travel throughout its
entire width. They claimed as abutting
land owners they had Il right to require the
construction of the road up to the lines Of
their lots for convenience of access.
Upon this point the court says: If the
construction of the road in Il reasonable
way for public use will be likely to make
access to the rond from u n%eighboring lot
difficult, and to require II large expenditure
on the part of the ownrr in the construc-
ton of u passage way, that will be taken
into account in assessing the petitioners
damages. Tho court says that u fixing Of
the grade of the street in the order Of the
street commissioners cannot be deemed
equivalent to u statement that the avenue
is to be wrought to its full width or to any
particular width in fitting it for use by the
public. boston Transcript.

She beat the Conductor.
"That belongs to mel.

THAT belongs to me!'
This frank expression is not new on the
surface street cars when the conductor spies
a passenger hunting for a coin on the floor.
It makes no difference whether the coin
belongs to the conductor or to the passen.
ger. 1t belongs to the conductor, just the
same, provided no one saw the passenger
drop it.
You see, the conductor argues that any
money that is found on the floor is his be-
cause he handles more money on board than
any n else.
It's a course of reasoning plausible
enough usually, but it didn't work yester-
day when an extremely self important con-
ductor marched into a Fulton street car
and saw a lady working to get something
from the wooden Stats on the floor. All the
other women in the car were looking at her
with that sort of contempt which implied
that they wouldn't stoop to such a thing,
and meanwhile, very red in the face and
with considerably bodily effort she tugged
to get the object out.
AS the conductor came to Il stop and held
out his hand she recovered herself and said
swertly:
Certainly, please get it out"
The conductor leaned over, got on his
knees and finally fished out a solitaire" a
metal ornament used by women to fasten
their gloves.
Silently he delivered it to the owner and
retreated to the rear platform. Then she
shot Il triumphant glance at her sisters in
the car.-New York Herald.
NOT q :KeeI Mess"
A party of young men who were off on q
fishing excursion on the Ohio river some
years ago were joined by m eccentric man
skilled as a fisherman known in that region
as ''Barefooted SAM" He was a good cook
and made himself useful in so many ways
that his presence, though unlimited, was
tolerated by the amateur sportsmen.
One morning two members Of the party
returned to camp with their appetites we'll
sharpened for breakfast and were greeted
enthusiastically by IL third man, who said,
'You just come along and see the finest
baked perch you ever laid eyes on"
They hurried to the table, but saw only a
rick of bones, from which every fiber of
meat had been taken. Sam was nowhere
to be seen. When he returned, no COM
ments were made upon the circumstance,
but in the afternoon, when the company
were %lounging on the bank, Sam drawled
out:
"I'd like to have all the fish l could eat,
jest onst. l amt had a mess since Pete
Toilet ketched that big catfish three years
back"
"Sam," remarked one of the group dryly,
II thought you had quite Il fair mess this
morning. That perch weighed about 10
pounds, I've been informed"
"Oh, yes replied Sam, with no sign Of
embarrassment Oh his placid ~countenance.
II ate that. but what l mean is a reel, reg

rrarsp,aat,ne Hair In China.

Chinese superstitions made the hair plant
ing business al. imperative profession. Chi
nese physiosncmi say the eyebrows and
whiskers Of a mar are just as essential in
their relations to his success in life as his
other qualifications. 1.-THE eyebrows are thin
or his whiskers are sickly, his luck will be
thin, and his health will be poor. There
fore, in order to stop the train of bad luck
which nature had unfortunately ordained
for him, he orders his eyebrows changed or
~replanted by a hair planting professor.
This is done by first carefully pulling out
the rebellious or unlucky hairs in the eye
brows. The next operation is to select a
spot of hair on the neck of the patient or
behind his ears that would suit for a fine
eyebrow and reduce them down to the
right length. A fine pair of sharp pinchers
is picked up with the left hand, and select
ing a suitable sized hair the operator jerks
it out by the root, and with the right hand
he quickly pierces Il minute holein the skin
of the bald eyebrow in n slanting direction,
and while the point of the needlelike in
strument is still on the edge Of the hole the
root of the pulled up hair is carefully in
serted.
But if blood oozes out of it before the
hair is planted the hole will not be used on
that day for fear of inflammation and not
sufficient nutriment for the hair to take
proper root. This operation %isrepeated I'M
til every hair in the eyebrows is replanted
or enlarged. The patient usually expert
ences pain in the eyebrows for about
q hours, after which he goes out and
shows himself to his friends.
The professor charges more fov planting
eyebrows than for planting whiskers, be-
cause of the many varied degrees of slant
ing each hair in order to make the eye
brows look natural to the man or to suit

SPRING TIME
The Hest Season of the Year to Treat
Chronic Cstarrh.

The Hest Season of the Year to Treat
Chronic Cstarrh.
Notwithstanding hat a great numter
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet it can not be
denied that the cold. wet, stormy winter
has retarded many cures, and in some
cases actually prevented a cure. But,
after unusual delay, spring time has
come at last, and now is the time for all
catarrh sufferers to begin a systematic
course Of treatment for this disease.
The greatest difficulty in the way of
treating chronic catarrh is that the
patient is so liable to catch cold during
the treatment, and thus delay a cure.
This liability at this season of the year
is, in a great measure, removed, and Lo
one should neglect the opportunity to
begin treatment. Send for free catarrh

Captain Braithwaite had quite an in

Of leisure, yesterday, which resulted in
the theft of pair of shoes, their recovery
and the giving of two men into the
custody Of the sheriff. At about 10
o'clock in the morning two men, whose

Boot and Shoe store. George Jarvis
and James Smith we're the names of the
gentlemen, and the former took the
captain into the rear Of the store, ask
iur to see some shoes. Smith in the
meantime wandered about the front
part of the store and finally, when he
thought the proprietor was not glancing

valued at So, and placed them under his
coat. But the rowing eye of the captain
lighted upon him as he swiped the foot.

store, Mr.. Braithwaite called him to
stop. Mr.. Smith was either very hard
Of hearing, or else he had an important
engagement elsewhere, for he opened
the front door and started down street
like a reindeer. The captain is not built
for a s%printer, but when he saw man and
shoes disappear, he gave chase, and like
Nancy Hanks and Maud S pursuer and
pursued sped down the thoroughfare,
until they reached the TRIBUNE Office,
when the captain overhauled the fugi-
tive, and relieved him of the stolen
goods. The captain happened to re-
member at this juncture that he had
left the other man in the store, so he
released his hold of Smith, who vanished
around the r like a June frost.
When the captain returned to the store,
the other man was just making his exit,
and upon Sc eing the proprietor, he &C.
CELEBRATED his speed. Throwing the
throttle vide open, the captain again
gave chase, calling "pollce," Justify.
Frank Kihm, who stood on the corner,
saw the fugitive approaching, surveyed
the man calmly, and then stepped care
fully back to avoid a disastrous collision.
The man kept on, and was finally over
hauled by VIM. jaeger, and another per-
son, and turned over to the authorities.
In the afternoon, Smith was dis.
covered at the river landing, by the
sheriff, and both men appeared before
Judge Chase for trial. Smith pleaded
guilty, but Jarvis protested innocence

guilty, and each fined $40 and costs,
