& street Sweeping Suggestion.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Sweeping the streets before the public
traffic Of the day has ceased is a very un-
profitable and unsatisfactory way OF doing
that sort of business. Under this system
(Which, # is understood, was inausurated
early during the past winter to avoid the
possible freezing of the sprinkiing) the
streets have been kept comparatively clean
during the night and uniformly dirty dur
ing the day. No discrimination has been
made in favor of the more than mild spells
of weather we have been blessed with, but
daily. just about the time when the streets
are receiving their greatest burden of filth.
the sweeper comes forth and smears the
fresh accumula tons into the CUTTERS while
their rapid multiplication is being dis
tributed during the remainder of the even
ing. night and early morning, before the
day is fairly set in leaving the streets just
as dirty during the entire day they were
before they were swept the evening before.
1t appears to the writer that this is not al
together necessary, at least not SO during
mild weather, and il is earnestly suggested
that the practice be al once discontinued: !:
that the sweeping and gathering be done
after H. O'Clock at night, and that in future
a discrimination as to the fitness of the
anti i-freezing sweeping shall lie exercised
and imposed. LUKE MARSH.

A Fire Curtain of Waiter.

An effective device for the protection of buildings from fires i'll adjacent struc- lures has been successfully tested in Boston. The idea worked ont ill the ap- paratus is to maintain sheet of water between the fire and the building to he protected. This is done by placing on every open side of the building near the top line of perforated piping for car rylng water. The complete apparatus consists of five inch standpipe. ex- tending over the upper story. From it runs another pipe around the sides and front, from 21I to inches in diameter On the front are three revolving sprin- klers, and one is placed at each exposed side, in the center. The arms are of bronze metal, slightly curved. At each end of the arms is ball nozzle, such as is- used by fire departments on regu- lar hose lines. At the base of the stand pipe is Siamese connection for four lines of three inch hose. At the Boston test a fire department steamer furnished the power, and for about l5 minutes poured through the sprinkler delivery of 1000 gallons minute, completely drenching the walls and keeping a con- tinuous sheet of water from top to bot tom.

The Durham Rites.

The Durham Rites" speak of great store of ancient manuscripts possessed by the house to help the monks in their study The "Rites" go on to say how the store included "the old anncient written doctors of the church, as other profane authors, with divers other holie mems wourks, so that every one dyd studye what Doctor pleased them best, havinge the Librairie at all times to go and studye in, besydes their carrells. y
 From the same "Rites" we learn that in the dormitory each monk had little chamber to himself with window, or a bit of wndow, and in the window a desk for books, so that he could study, if he pleased, in the hours spent in the dormitory. Special directions were given that the monks and novices were not to be disturbed in their "carrells" while they were studying
 In their care for education in days when all training for the young, save in arms and field sports, was compara- lively little thought of. the record of the monastic orders is an honorable one. Besides maintaining song school, '"
 
 trained their novices in other learning and again, to use tho words of the Durham Rites, " yf the Master dyd see that any of them weare apte to learnynge and dyd applie his booke, and had a pregnant wyt withall, then the Maister dyd let the Prior have intelli- gence Then streighteway after, he was sent to Oxford to school" Other peo- pie, too, sent their sons to the monks for education, which was sometimes given freely and sometimes paid for.
 Mention has been made of Oxford. The Durham College" besides the pupils sent up from the abbey, ad- mitted regular students A purely monastic college as early as A. D. 1888 was founded in Oxford for l3 monks of St. Peters abbey, Gloucester This. be- fore the end of the thirteenth century, de- veloped into a great Benedictine house of learning, and long list of abbeys united together to maintain this Bene- dictine college at Oxford, which flour- ished until the reformation. -Quar- terly Review.
