"A FAULT OF sTREer BUILDING.

England cities, is afflicted with a system
Of narrow streets. Many of them are per-
manently laid down and cannot be RENE

siderable expense to the tax xpayers, while
there are still others that could be made
over at comparatively small cost. Bur
dened by debt as the city is at present, it
can iii afford to expend any money on
street. improvements, but it ought exercise
a supervisory care in the laying out of
future thoroughfares. With the concen-
trstion OF business within a small area the
need OF wider streets becomes more and
mope apparent, and the unwisdom of our
pristine surveyors becomes more and more
apparent. The only remedy now, as Paw
tuchet grows larger, is to build skyward,
and this plan has its obvious advantages.
No one can tell which way the centre of
business will shift next. To be prepared
for any emergency, wherever u is possible
streets should be made wide aud roomy.

THE CASE OF CHAPMAN.

The case OF Brother Elventon r. Chap
man, the obstinate witness who refused to
testify before the senatorial invest CATION
committee when the Wilson tariff bill was
in process OF debate some three years ago,
has attracted considerable attention
throughout the land. Chapman's often
ce was that he preemtorily declined to
answer certain questions as TO whom he
had sold sugar stock during the pendency
of the tariff bill. The charge had been
made that certain United States Senators
were dabbling in sugar stock previous to
their vote upon the sugar schedule OF the
tariH bill. Chapman was one Of the wit
nesses subpnnaed in the case.

ear, he is not justified in withholding theu
from a duly constituted court OF inquiry
Chapman's evidence was needed to assist
in identifying certain Senator's, who, II
was thought, were using their trust to
swell their own revenues. His refusal to
testify was construed as contempt and
passed through the various courts
branded as such. The president,
himself, refused to interfere. He held, as
does every sensible person, that private in
formation should be no secret when the
needs of tho state are concerned, and, even
had Chapman supphcated a pardon in
p rson, it is doubtful IL executive clemenoy
would be forthcoming.
We hope that Chapman's incarceration,
will be warning to other obdurate wit
nesses who hold themselves above the dig
nifty of the court.

WHEN STUDENTS DON'T KNOW.

Some Of the Queer Answers They Make In
Examination Papers.
Medical students in the throes of exam
ination time or entering upon the anxious
period preceding their appearance before
examiners who are TO decide their fitness
for graduation are often very nervous, and
many ludicrous Slips are made in answer
ing questions propounded by the examin-
ers.
Some Of these mistakes may be appreci-
ated only by the questioners or those fam
tliar with technical details Of the subjects
with which the questions deal. Others,
however, may be appreciated by the lay
man, as the answer of student that "mu-
sic" Is secreted by certain glands In the
throat. He meant no doubt to say mucus,
but many will think he was not far from
wrong especially in regard to some throats.
"To strain the blood" is common an
swer to the question concerning the func-
tion Of the liver.

what disease the liver is most liable, wrote
