 The water works. the public ins,itu- tions and the fire department are the only branches of purely executive mu- nicipai work now vested in the control of salaried boards. IL is my opinion that all three of these boards could profitably be abolished and their work entrusted to single commissioners or superintendents: but legislative nciion Is necessary before any change can be made in the constitution of the board of commissioners of public institutions or in that of the Boston water board. while the board of fire commissione: s can be abolished by the city council.

 Paralelling the inconsistency of fur, feathers and boas combind on one hat, fur is now used to line russet leather shoes. They are lined with sable or mink and are made after the Romeo pattern, with a point front and back and cut down the side as far as the an- kle. In this shape a shoe really quite large has the effect of being tiny, hence the adoption of the design for an over shoe. FLORETTE.

NOT DEAD. UUT sHOULD RE,

We had supposed that the queer plan to place the Lewis memorial In front of the county building was dead, but it appears 10 have been only sleeping. It should be killed this time for good. There Is no appropriateness In 1t. MT. Lewis should be remembered, and it is to the credit of his friends and admirers that they have provided an enduring memorial of him. But that memorial would be greatly out of place before the county building. MT Lewis was essen- tlally city man. He was long at the head of the city government. He had lit- tie to do with county affairs, and his friends can give no good reason why the county should give his memorial the place asked for. It belongs on city property and should be placed there. If no suitable place near the center of the city can be found. many suitable places in East or West rock park are available, and we believe that one of them might very wisely be chosen with cut any more squa bbling. It is certain that the place picked out by the com mittee is not suitable. And there is no room to spare there. It has been urged that those who might come out of or go into the county building wouldn't find the memorial in their way. They would. It might about as well be set right out in front of the city hall as there. In- deed, it would be less in the way than in front of the county building. Moreover, what right have the county commission CTS to use the county's property in the way proposed? They may feel disposed to oblige the estimable and public spirit a special favor but have they the right to do it? Will they not be doing their duty better by declining to cucumber the county property in an inappropriate, inconvenient and unreasonable, not to say illegal, way? We think they will. Memorials of great or useful men are all right, but they lose much in impress | siveness when improperly placed.

The Star of Bethlehem,

Some time ago various newspapers of
 Europe and America contained the
 startling intelligence that the star
 which guided the "Wise Men" would
 again appear This star was connected
 with that celebrated one which, SIS
 years ago, suddenly disappeared from
 the constellation of Cassiopeia, and it
 was found that this star of 1572 had
 previously appeared in the years 1264
 and 945, and, if counted back, must have
 appeared in the year of the birth of
 Christ If these facts were vel! estab- lished, we must certainly expect the
 star to appear again in our days. We
 should then see new body in the heav-
 ems, entirely unlike any fixed star, to
 be seen in full daylight, which should in short time again disappear. Every
 astronomer in recent times has asked
 hundreds of questions on this subject.
 Is it true that the Star of Bethlehem
 will again appear? Isit periodical? Is it's place in the sky appointed? The
 next question is, What really happened in 1572?
 It was a few months after St. Barthol- omew's night. Tycho Brahe, the great observer of those days, tells us that: "One evening as was watching the
 heavens in my accustomed manner, saw, to my astonishment, in the con- stellation of Cassiopeia, a brilliant star of unusual clearness." This was on November ii, 1572. Three days before the star had bee nseen by Cornelius
 Gemma, who spoke of 1t as "this new Venus, Tn December of the same year it's lusme began to wane; and In March, 1874, it-had entirely disappeared, leav- ing no trace. AS to the stars of 945 and 1264, we have no authority except
 that of the Bohemian astrologer, Cy- brian Lowitz. No historian mentions them, and the Chinese chroniclers, who
 watched all appearances in the sky
 with great care, do not speak of them.
 Even granting the appearances of these stars to have been a fact, their reser1-
 blance to the Star Of Bethlehem fs doubtful. It is true by counting back
 we come to the years 6s0. 31b, and q: but the star should have again ap- peared sometime between lee0 and .182t. With rasard ta fhA S3ax nf Atla alalsAss T

Mayor Matthews of Boston makes recommendation to his board of alder men in line with the modern thought and drift in municipal government. He suggests that the fire commission be done away with and the fire depart ment placed under the control of sin gle person who shall be directly re- sponsible to the mayor. Discussing the question at some length, he concludes: There can be no question in the mind of any student of municipal economy

Consul-G eneral De Kay of Berlin re- ports great success in Germany with the serum treatment for diphtheria
 He reports that the demand for the remedy was so great that the supply Was exhausted in September and the result on the death rate was remark able. Among children under four the death rate from dipntheria had fallen to Il per cent, but after the exhaustion of the supply of serum it rose in Octo- ber to 60 per cent. Efforts are making to establish plants for the production of the serum or antioxine in Boston and Philadelphia, and the health de- partment of Chicago has taken meas nres to produce a supply for that city. The results in Europe are so marked that there should be no hesitation in the introduction of the treatment in this country.
