AGAIN I'll n DUS z.

T. They say March has come in like
lion. That isn't exactly so. A lion has
some dignity. March has come in more
like big debate in congress-wild and
windy. And oh, what work this wild
and windy March Is making in New
Haven! Again everybody is suffering
from the terrible dust that flies about
here whenever it can. This time it
seems to be nastier and more irritating
and dangerous than usual. 1t is poor
reward for having c ourageously and
successfully withstood the climate we
have had here this winter to come final
ly to the dust 1t Is adding insult to
injury and crowding the mourners
We know that the people of New Ha-
ven are conservative. They prove that
by their passive endurance of some
evils which they needn't endure If they
would take the pains to make an effec-
tive protest But 1t is nothing less
than amazing that they are SO quiet
under the dust evil. They ought to
know better. Discomfort, damage,
sickness and death have for many
years been blown about here with the
dust. A few who have realized the
magnitude of the curse have lifted up
their voices in behalf of the comfort
and the health of the people. Last year
it seemed as if they had finally been
able to do something. Yet here is the
dust again doing its damaging and
deadly work just as gaily and efficient
ly as of old.
1t is time for New Haven to really
wake up about this matter. There is
no need that the people who live here
should be compelled to breathe by day
and by night stuff that is too dead to
belong to the Historical Society or the
Chamber of Commerce, and too nasty
to associate on equal terms with qua
no. What is our mayor for? What is
our Board of Health for? What is the
Board of Public Works for? And what
is the Court of Common Council for?
Could any or all of them be engaged in
better business than saving this COM
munity from the awful and the deadly
dust plague that is again upon us?
Won't some official gentleman, or gen.
tiemen, make a move that will mean
something? Why will we die and kill
all the rest of US?

C"'san%ure "a MARRIAGES and Deafness.
With regard to deaf-mutism, statis-
ties show, for the most part, that the
closer the degree of relationship be-
tween the parents the more numerous
are the number of the deaf mute chill
drep born. For example, one marriage
between an aunt and nephew produced
three deaf mutes. Four mortgages be-
tween uncle and niece produced eleven
deaf mutes. Twenty-six marriages be-
tween first cousins produced thirty
eight deaf mutes. Sixteen marriages
between second cousins produced TWEEN
ty-eight deaf mutes. Forty-seven mar
riages between blood relatives produced
seventy two deaf mutes, These are i'm
portant facts, which leave no measure
Of doubt as to the influence of the inter-
marriage of blood relations in causing
deaf mutism. But just in the same
way as coasanguineous marriages
should be avoided, so also should the
intermarriage of persons. tainted with
hereditary disease be discouraged

citlzen2 Are the children of the United
States entitled to so much better care
in their education than the children of
any other citizen, that Boston must
contribute her best teachers services
to their benefit at her own school chill
dreu's loss? And it adds: There Is no
special provision made by law for the
education of the presidents children.
They are entitled to no greater con-
sideration from the school authorities
than the children of the poorest and
humblest citizen. The Boston school
committee shows itself rather toadyish
in this transaction.
This criticism strikes us as being
somewhat oyerdone. OF course there
is no good reason why the presidents
children should have any more or bet
ter advantages than Boston children
have, and if Boston children have had
more and better than the presidents
children have had they have perhaps
had no more than they were entitled
to. The matter seems to be one OF
politeness and generosity rather than
toadyism. 1t may be said that Boston's
school board has no right to be polite
and generous to the president against
the interests of the children of Bos-
ton. Perhaps not, in strict justice, but
Boston can probably afford to be polite
and generous in this matter without
doing any serious damage to her chill
dren, and it is probable that the ac-
ton of the school board would not be
repudiated by those best qualified to
judge of it. A Rhode Island man gives
the president annually the best turkey
in the State. and he is not called a
toady. Why should the members of the
school board Of Boston be called toadies
for lending him one of their good teach
ers?

thing happening in Broadway and at

hundreds on the outskirts are obliged
to ask Whats the NATTER" Minor
incidents are sized up sooner and
sometimes they are as interesting as
the incidents one expects to see. That
was exemplified at Broadway and Full
ton street at noon recently.
One Of the peddlers there had a box
of sponges on the curbstone. Being
obliged to be on guard against the APP
proach of policeman, he did not OBJ
serve a stub-tailed dog until after it
had seized sponge with its teeth and
started to run across the street. His
features expressed Arrangement and an
ger in quick succession as he ex-
claimed, you little cuss!" and ran af-
ter the dog. The dog became bewil-
dered slightly while trying to escape,
and he glanced backward to see IL he
had been pursued. The peddler hesita-
ted over leaving his box too far out of
sight, and, on the crossing, contented
himself with whistllng and swapping
his fingers at the dog in a manner sug-
gestiye of his desires to recover the
sponge. But the dog would not be In
fluenced by a strange voice. Fifty per-
sons watched the>performance, and, al
though a few sympathetic individuals
tried to catch the dog, the majority
laughed. Seeing an opening under a
wagon the dog jumped through and
scampered up the street. 1t is not un-
reasonable to believe that those who
saw the incident imagined that the dog
| had been trained to steal. although its
master did not reveal himself in the
immediate vicinity.

AFTER WILD HORSES.
Occupation That Pays Well In Australia

Occupation That Pays Well In Australia
Where There are Large Herds.
{From Chat bers Journal.)
AS rule the herds number from ten
to twelve, made up of mares and one
stallion. No stallion will allow another
stallion in his herd and stubborn fights
frequently occur between holses owing
to this. The beaten males, after being
expelled. join herds exclusively Of stall
lions On any herd being sighted by
the hunters, a good idea can generally
be formed by the experienced man as
to which route the animals will take In
their way to the rugged hills, for which
they invariably make when disturbed.
A scheme Is mapped out to cut them
of, If possible, and the party scatters,
each to take up his allotted position.
When the alarm is given, however.
all need for caution is at an end, and
each hunter puts his steed to full gall
lop. The stallion, the head of the herd
boldly comes out to meet him, and en-
deavors to distract attention from the
rest
In some rare instances he Is lassoed
and captured at once, but he generally
manages to reioin hts wives which by
this time have trooped into single file
with his favorite mare in the lead.
Should the herd be turned and get into
difficulties the stallion takes up his po-
sition in the van, and the great object
Is to cut him off from the rest. Should
this be ACCOMPLISHED, both he and the
mares become confused. and the las
soers often manage to take two or
three per man. Instances have been
known where horses have been thrown
to the ground by the hunters giving a
violent jerk to the animals tail when 1t
was making an abrupt turn. When

this method or the use Of the lasso, the

FASHION NOTES.

0uaintness That Sometimes Miscarrles.
Some of our fashionables are taking
to quaint effects with not always pic
turesque results, and it is noticeable
that a good many OF the younger wo-
men are cultivating an old-time placid
ity of feature and a rennoteness of ex
preston that if you didn't happen to
know what they were at, might seem
like stupidity. Such girls wear tight
fitting sleeves, baggy fiehus, skinny
skirts and fioppy hats, and now and
then one of them remote look and all, is
so sweet that you understand the other
ones trying to do the same thing. The
maid sketched here slyly secured the
faraway look, but she didn't endorse
the outlandish features of dressing that
sometimes accompany that expression,

THEY CHOKFLID roo SOON.


1t doesn't take much to please the
Democrats. This is lucky, for there
isn't much to please them. They have
for day or two been gleefully chortling
over an alleged surplus in the treasury
for the month Of February. After many
weary moons marked by melancholy
deficits they thought that at last they
had a ray of hope in the shape of a
surplus of $127,S4O. But alas for the
vanity of Democratic figuring and. Dem
ocratic government! We now read that
the corrected figures of the treasury
statement for February are somewhat"
less favorable than the returns reported
on Saturday. The expenditures for the
month, which were given in the earlier
statement as SOS, 931, 1888, are advanced
by the later return to $26, 749, $685. an in
crease of $S1S,56S. BY this addition the
surplus of $127,S noted on Saturday
is turned into deficiency of s690.72S.
A deficit of $3.50, 72S instead of a sur
plus of s127,s4o is quite change, and it
will nut stop to Democratic glee for
the present All that the Democrats
can do now is to resume their old prac-

In the British Medical Journal Paris
correspondent says that at least $500
physicians in France are battling with
starvation, and he adds that physicians
themselves are largely responsible for
this state Of affairs. They have taught
lady patronesses Of different societies
to diagnose diseases, to dress and
bandage wounds, to vaccinate their own
children and those of their neighbors
Medical science Is vtlgarized in every
way. Doctors write in important daily
papers explaining how bronchitis and
cramps of the stomach are to be cured
and in fashion journals they teach how
to cure pimples and avert headaches.
Furthermore they have urged that hos
pital treatment be paid at the rate Of
As. Cd. per day; the middle classes profit
by this tariff to became hospital pa
