New Yorh's Sanitation.

The appeal to the public conscience told
at last. With that attack in the churches,
which had not been without blame, the
new era began. That year (1879) public
competition evolved the present type of
tenement, far from perfect, but an i'm
mense improvement upon the wicked old
barracks. The sanitary reformers got the
upper hand, and their work told. The
death rate came down slowly. 1t is today,
at the end of 80 years, quite 25 per cent
lower than it was when the health depart
ment was organized, and New York has
been redeemed from reproach for which
there was no excuse, for no city in the
world has such natural opportunities for
good sanitation.
The immense stride 1t has taken was
measured by the mortality during the un-
precedented hot spell of last summer. 1t
was never SO great. as indeed there never

How He Lavishly Scattered His Fortune
For the Public Good.
Through his father Mr.. Ruskin fell hOir
to nearly 81, 600, 900, towhich must be add
ed the income of his writings. But this
man counted his treasures as trust fund
held in the interest of suffering merit or
youths promising talent. That ise was on
the London committee for the victualing
of Paris in 1871 proves that his beneyo-
lence was as we'll known as Peabody's or
Lady Burdett-C Coutts'. Taxing himself
first tenth, then half, he finally gave his
entire income. If he needed botanical and
art works for his studies, he crippled him
self rather than refuse his last 30 guineas
to the widow of dead artist. II for
health's sake and arts sake he wanted to
