The Splitting Habit.
From Harper's Weekly.


When Sir Richard Burton visited in dis
guise, the exclusive city of Harar, and
was carried before the amir, he observed,
among other things, that though the amir
expectorated with royal freedom, he was
not provided with spittoon, but spat upon
the robes of his attendant chamberlains.
1t is matter of very general and familiar
remark that the average American spits
quite as freely and with almost as much
autocratic carelessness as the Amir Of
Harar. If he does not Intentionally spit
on the clothes of his neighbors, he splits
with magnificent indifference TO his neigh
bors' reasonable desire to keep clear of
his expectorations. He spits wherever
he happens to be-on the pavement, on
the floors of public buildings, in halls,
entries and elevators, and especially in all
public conveyances.
There is a movement afoot to amend
this very Objectionable habit, and esDe-
cially to put a stop to the abominable
practice of splitting in street cars. In
New York the board of health has for
hidden it, and it's notices are posted In the
surface cars. The boards mandate is
not as yet effectual, but the public has
begun TO be familiar with II, and through
Il many citizens have for the first time
had II suggested to them that mscellane
Gus splitting is not nice. Conductors OF
street cars are bound to enforce the spit
ting ordinance IL their attention Is called
10 a violation OF 1t. Commissioner Roose-
welt says that the police will help them,
and that presently a number Of police
men will be detailed expressly to see that
the ordinance is obeyed. 1t is important
that public opinion should sustain the po-
lice in this undertaking. Consider the
brutishness Of the splitting habit as It ex-
lists in this country. Every decent ciu-
zen should do what he can to amend II,
both by correcting his own habits. II they
need it. and by supporting the enforce-
ment of the law.
