TRATEL ~ STREETCiRS.

The growth OF the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company within n few years has been
impressive and notable Its expansion has
been 50 swift so sure and so wide that New
York regards II with wonder How short =
time It seems since the clumsy omnibuscs were
the only public vehicles In Broadway. II was
no brief struggle. however. which forced the
stages out of that noble thorouIllfare and put
In their places the hOrsecarS over which the
celebrated jacob Sharp exercised so affection
atc n guardianship. Several of the corrupt
members Of the notorious Board Of Doodle Al
dcrmcn who accepted brides for granting the
Broadway franchise are still living. The cX-
posture Of that nfamy and the Investigations

In due season the Metropolitan will cngulf the

A GOOD ORDINANCE.

The effort to diminish by legal prohibition and
penalty the use OF profane and obscene IAN
guage IN public places deserves TO succeed. and
q disposition to laugh ut II as revival OF
ancient blue laws Is not respectable. We ac-
cordngly commend the ordinance which Pres
ident Guggenheimer proposed to the Council
yesterday, providing that the use OF such Ian
guage In public shall constitute n mlsdemeanor.
and be punishable by fine OF not more than
SO or less than 81. In our opinion. the habit
which It Is thus sought to check has increased
greatly IN recent years, and Is steadily bccom-
ING more and more prevalent. 1t Is grossly Of
fensiye not only to women who are compelled
TO hear profane and filthy speech in public con-
ycyances and In the streets, and to men whose
religious scrlIples are OF a positive character
Int TO n multitude OF others who are not easily
shocked and who frequently say IN private
things OF which they have some reason TO he
na.amed To all such. constituting, no doubt,
a majority Of the people. the prevailing license
OF speech in this city Is extremely repusive.
If those having a certain measure Of delegated

ants In theatre and hotel Hobbies. for example

fences the growth Of the habit might have been
the world to hear so much as a remonstrnnce
addressed to those who, whatever their virtues
may be- are accustomed to invade the rights
Of others with the grossest selections from a
blasphemous and lewd vocabulary
1t Is not too soon for al attempt to restrain
by law these brutalties of speech. The reso-
luton adopted by the Council yesterday Is ex-
pected to pass the Board Of Aldermen at the
first opportunity and go into immediate effect.
This action will be credltable to the Municipal
Assembly, and II will have useful consequences

Before the days of dentists, and when
people generally believed i'll the value
Of charms, there were ever so many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache.
One of these was to dress the right
side of the body first-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A
fayorite plan III Scotland was to draw
II tooth, salt it well and burn it in full
view ON glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
yonng ferns that appear.
The custom of catching q common
ground mole, cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives, and wear
ing them, is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Some people who are fond Of
exercise believe that walking ~ miles
mo more, no less-to get "A splinter OF
the toothache tree that grows particu-
larly well in Canada and Virginia will
drive away the worst ache and pain
that ever tortured poor tooth.
The belief that toothache is caused
by II worm at the roots is prevalent in
many parts of the world hence this
cure: Reduce several different kinds of
herbs-the greater variety the better
to powder. Put glowing cinder into
this powder and inhale the incense.
Afterward breathe into cup of water
end tho worm will be gone forever.

TH< ISLAND OF DREAMS.

Away. away to the Island OF Dreams
In the sea of night, where the starlight
CLEANS;
There hope ever reigns eternal, supreme,
Though only the hope of fanciful dream.
In the Island of Dreams there are no
tears,
And age never comes, though thousands
of years
Should come and go while you dwell on
the shore.
Your heart would be young while wait
ing for more.
In the Island of Dreams love Is the king
On the mystical throne, that he may bring
The hope of the heart, sought fondly so
long
And tune the sad soul for a dreamland
song.
In the Island Of Dreams the heart is pure
As flowers that bloom Oh the twilight
shore.
Tempest and tempter OF the distant past,
Will there give the soul respite at last.
In the Island OF Dreams again we meet
The long lost ones, whose wandering feet
Have reached the distant, enchanted
strand,
And the peace and rest of the dreamlit
land.
In the Island of Dreams our sweethearts
wait
As they did of old, at the garden gate,
And the lips will then touch as they touch
in dreams
And joy be as real and sweet as il seems.
In the Island of Dreams | have a friend
Who comes every night when slumbers
will lend
The aid Of vision to sleepy eyes,
And brings me a message from paradise
Away to the Island Of Dreams I'll go,
Out on the shadows-how darkly they
flow
Listen, wait, be still, watch the golden
beams
Fading so faint to the Island Of Dreams.

queen staid them.
stop, gentlemen, leave it just where
it lies, she said. "Now, my daughter,
get down from the carriage and pick up
your handkerchief. There was no help
for it. The royal footman let down the
steps for the little lady, who proceeded
to lift from the dust the pretty piece of
cambria and lace. She blushed good
deal as she turned her head saucily,
but was doubtless angry enough.
