Mayor Curtin is very desirous that the
city be put in a cleanly condition AS soon as
possible. SO that in case there should be en-
epidemic of any kind it cannot be attributed
to filth and decayed vegetables and other
matter. If every householder in the city
will work in unity with the authorities in a
week or SO the entire city will be clean
The mayor desires that every householder
clean up their premises thoroughly and put
the dirt gathered up either in barrels or
boxes or in one pile where the garbage COL
lector can handle it easily. Ii the people
will do their portion OF the work the au-
thorties will do theirs. and then the ex-
pense to the people will be very slight. In
case of failure of the garbage man to call
postal card to the marshal will insure his
presence. The mayor has no desire to ap-
pear harsh in this matter and he will give a
reasonable time for people to clean up their
premises if not attended to in a reason
able time. the city ordinance relating to the
matter will he enforced.

Table Decoration.

The fashion of identifying tho table,
which in these days is carried to such an
extent, is by no means so original as
many claim 1t to be. 1t is simply the
revival of an old custom. We are told
that in France when the great joints
grew distasteful and small dishes took
their place decorations Of the table
changed too. Permanent pieces called
"dormants," or "surtouts, made of crys-
tai and mounted in silver were placed in
the middle of the table, and from them
branched candelabra of gilt and silver,
vases filled with flowers, tiny trays COW
cred with sweetmeats, or here and there
statuettes.
Finally the surtout grew so large that
it almost covered the table. People at
last grew tired of the monotony Of this
ornament, no matter how artistic it
might be, ard instead the center Of the
table was often covered with layer of
potter's clay, in which florist would
set cut flowers in any design that pleased
him. Artists were often employed to
decorate the table, the center Of which
would be covered with temples, bridges,
amphitheaters or emblematic groups Of
figures. all made of paste.
Sometimes the artist would represent
landscape covered with snow. NJ.
Carada invented an artificial hoarfrost,
which was melted by the heat Of the
room, during which process the guests
saw the thawing of the river and the
budding of the trees and flowers as spring
succeeded winter. There were also the
''sableurs," who, by means Of beautiful
ly colored sands, powdered marbles,
ground glass, beads and bread crumbs,
made very ingenious figures upon the ta-
BILE cloths.-Harper's Bazaar.

Horses In spectacles.

Horses, 1t appears, are taking kindly
to spectacles. The Opticiap, which has
made special Investigations into the sub
ject, gives the case Of q short sighted
horse whose owner ordered for him q
pair of spectacles. They were made to
fasten firmly into the head stall SO that
they could not be shaken out Of place.
At first the animal appeared startled by
this addition to his harness, but he soon
got used to his glasses and liked them
so much that when he was turned out
to pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort-
able without his goggles and one Sunday
hung around the barn and whinnied SO
plaintively that the owner put tho head
stall and goggles on him, and the horse
was SO glad that he rubbed the mans
shoulder with his nose as the only meth
cd of returning thanks.
Dogs who suffer from short sighted
ness have also been provided with spec
tacles and have been able thereby to
recognize their canine acquaintance
much further off than before. If the
system is not carried further no great
harm will be done, but suppose ''uppish'
horses and dogs insist upon discarding
goggles for the pincenez or even the
monocle? Puppies in eyeglasses would
