Disposition of Garbage.
A paper on disposition of Garbage and
Street Cleanincs," prepared by DR.. Arthur
R. Reynolds and read by the secretary,
called out an interesting discussion. DIR.
Reynolds favored the collection of garbage
and refuse by the municipality. but should
it be done by contract he thought separate
contracts for removal OF ashes and garbage
should be made. He thought the reduc-
ton of garbage could be made a paying
business.
Capt. Beach, Engineer Commissioner of
the District of Columbia. arose after the
reading OF the paper and said the District
had had quite an experience with garbage
oremati tion plants, and suggested that DIR.
Woodward. District health officer, should
tell the society about it.
DIR. Woodward's Views.
DR.. Woodward said the paper by DR..
Reynolds did not sound as il It were writ
ten as verdict OF practical experience.
He thought ashes and garbage should be
collected separately, but under single
contract. 80 that the contractor might use
his plant to the greatest advantage. He
showed that in the winter the quantity of
ashes increases. while the garbage de-
creases, and vice versa The ashes and
garbage together. he said, made about the
aame quantity of refuse to be removed
throughout the year. He thought the mu-
nicipality should do this work. IL free from

A Queer Rabbit Trap.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Charles Conroy Of Aurora, Ind, while
hunting, made a most peculiar find Dis
covering the detached skull of the skeleton
of q horse, he gave IL a kick that rolled IL
over, revealing in the cavity of the skull
the corpse of a rabbit. A further investgia-
ton disclosed the fact that the rabbit had
entered the hollow skull a place Of re-
treat, but IN doing so disiodged a piece of
the vertebra bone OF the horses skeleton,
which lodged in the opening through which
II had crawled. and completely closed the
exit and made the rabbit a prisoner In its
bony sepulcher. where IL was kept confined
until starvation brought death

Suggests Best Course,

THE best course for all concerned il
seems to me- is to take mutual action while
the bill Is small and not walt until a burst
ing main during fire spreads loss over the
entire community. The usual procedure
brings a deadlock.
"The water works people discover signs
of electrOlysis and at once pounce unon
the railway managers. These either refuse
to believe that they are responsible for the
trouble. and thus bring upon themselves
shower or threats. or they say that al
Though they cannot admit the fault is theirs
they are. nevertheless, willing, rather than
to earn the i'll will of the public TO do any-
thing in reason IL the others will only tell
them what to do.
Then the others suspect some cunnineIv
hidden legal trap and decline to give any
directions whatever, and so nothing Is done
There seems to be an idea prevalent that If
the water board suggests to the railway
any scheme for stopping the trouble and
the scheme Is then tried and fails the rail-
way is thereby freed from all future re-
sponsibility.
How any one can believe that the mere
following out Of plan Of experiment would
| cancel Indebtedness Is beyond my UNDER
standing. II is giving legal tender value to
the acceptance of a suggestion, which seems
to have no basis in fact, in equity or in law.
Practical Suggestions.
But this idea has cropped out in so many
! cities that hesitate about offering the fol-
lowing practical suggestions:
u 1t will not be a mistake TO follow
Dayton's example and obtain complete and
| accurate Information concerning the cleo
| trical. chemical and mechanical condition
of your pipes. especially in the vicinity Of

| fined entirely to the lead in the service
pipes and in the calking Of joints ON your

result If the matter is neglected for years.

 "If you were a man-oh. if you were only man for about two minutest" whispered Mr. Bowser, as his face grew winter than snow.
 And if it's man ye want yell find one in my Peter. I've told him how ye talked 10 me, and he's waiting down at the front door to paralyze ye wid one blow in the jaw. Hearllee now, Mir. Towser, or whatever your name may be, the best thing ye kin do is to git the vans here tomorrow and move away agin. Ye don't seem to be the sort of a family to git along in a beautiful and quiet New York flat"
 He had just opened his mouth to speak when Mrs. Bowser called to him from the hall above.
 "Poor woman-I ain't blaming her a DlL, SdlQ lue .itlliiLlCSSs o9 oiiC iCOtASN up. aShe seems a humble, soft-spirited body, who's been bluffed around until she's afraid of her life. It's lucky ye haven't some women to live with. If was your wife, fur instance, why why"
 And she snapped her fingers under Mir. Bowser's nose and tossed her head and snapped again, and in his helplessness he could only glare at her. Mrs. Bowser called again, and he turned and went slowly upstairs and entered his rooms and sat down. It was full minute before he could gasp out:
 'Woman, see what you have donei'
 sWhat have I done?' she protested. CT didn't want to give up our house and move into a flat. l Ididn't want you to raise a row here. told you not to go for the police"
 He looked at her and held his mouth open, but not q sound issued forth.

 The fat police sergeant was at his desk in the station house the other day, when the door opened and Carl Dunder appeared and said:
 Good day, sergeant, but yhas here to bid you good-by."
 "Oh! it's you?" growled the sergeant, as he looked up. Been swindled again, l suppose?"
 "No more shwindles on me, but 1 can't make oudt America und 1 vhas going back to Shermany. It yhas all as plain ash day oafer dere"

 MT. Bowser started downstairs. His mind was fully made up to go to the police and complain of the disturbino noises. Two flights down he met the Janitress ascending. The woman up- stairs was humping the piano again and singing Maggie Murphy" at the top of her voice.
 Do you hear-do you hear!" shouted Mr. Bowser, as he pointed upwards.
 And what of it, MT. Towser-what of it!" defiantly replied the janitress as she tossed her head about.
 ''Why, it's a blamed circus-it's an internal menagerie-it's an everlastinr nuisance that's got to be stopped or I'll go to the police!"
 "Ohi you will! We'll, you run right along to the police and tell 'em all about it! They'll know you when you get there, Mr. Towser, for I've already put them on to you!"
 My name is Bowser, and what do you meanl Woman, if you were only a man!"
 "Never mind about my being a woman. I've told the police that we had man in the house who ought to be watched, and so you had. I'm to see the landlord tomorrow, and if you don't apologize to me he'll either put you out or go himself"
 Great Scott Great Seot!" was all Ar. Bowser could say, as he leaned against the wall and looked the woman over.
 Going out to complain of your neighbors, was you, and you here only three days!" continued the ianitress, as she glared at him. Then, because
