tic way. The plan adopted is, how.
ever, extremely simple. For pur-
poses Of STRENGTHENING the city has
been divided into $50 districts, called
"ateliers." Each atelier is presided
over by an official known as u "can.
tonnier," vino is held responsible for
the proper care Of all streets in his
territory. Such force Of subordin.
ate employees and such machinery
and apparatus are provided as ex.
perience has proved necessary. The
"cantonniers" and their chief sub.
ordinates are salaricd officials Cat
from 100 to 12j francs per month),
and give their entire time TO the ser.
vice; the other employees are paid by
the hour (strong men receiving ~ to
81 centimes. and women, children
and weak men from 25 to 30 cen.
times') }, and, as q rule, are employed
only during the morning hours.
The main body OF the work Is done
by sweeping-machines, each drawn
by a single horse, the work Of hand.
brooms being only supplementary.
The order OF procedure Is practically
the same In all parts of city and over
all kinds of pnvcments. Summer and
winter the work begins ut 4 a. IN.

Such cavalcade Is equivalent to

English and French experts have
pronounced 1t superior to any wood

Other valuable woods are red cedar,

The yellow pine Is generally utility

1870 one in LIZA. In 1850 one in SSj
and. 1890 one In 757. In other
words. there are nearly five times as
many criminals in proportion to
population now as there were forty
years ago. To some extent this in.
crease is accounted for by the depor-
tation OF criminals from other coun-
tries to the United states; but the
most plausible explanation, says the
Philadelphia Record lies in the ten
dency of our population to swarm In.
to the cities and the exceeding bad.
ness of our municipal governments.
The decrease of crime cannot be ac-
complished either by more schools,
rs some reformers propose, or more
jails and reformatories, as other
sterner philosophers suggest. We
have distanced the world In building
school houses and jails during the
years when crime has made Its most
disheartening advances. How would
1t do to seek to arrest crime in its
hotbeds by reforming municipal nd
ministrations? Until the control OF
city governments IL wrested from the
hands Of political partisans who have
no higher aim than personal emolu.
ment crime will continue to be
