DURING THE last three days, no less
than eighteen hundred dollars have
been paid out of the Auditors office
for smallpox bills, in which sum none
of the bills recently sent to the City
Council are included There is not q
single patient in the smallpox hospital.
If there be one case of smallpox in q
house, all the people in that house are
supported by the city, which is also
compelled to pay the quarantine guard.
No wonder the taxpayers are opposed
to the present management OF smallpox
here.

THE health officer of Washington
warns the laundrymen of that city
against washing clothes from Alexsn-
dria. This is very agreeable to the
laundrymen here, as it tends to keep
such work in this city, where should be
done. But, Judging from the many
cases of smallpox in Washington and
the few cases in Alexandria, it would
seem that warning against the dis
ease would come more appropriately
from the health officer of this city, with
reference to clothes brought from
Washington.

renown they had ever received" II

ships, and forcing a,starving city to sur

certainly is nothing Of which to be

The use of crude oil for killing the
dust on railroad beds has been so sue
cessful that experiments in the same
direction have been tried on country
roads. The experiments were under
takn by Mai. Meigs, who had noted tho
change that had taken place in a bad
bit of road near town In Pennsyl-
vania, where an old oil pipe had been
leaking for some time. This pipe was
uear a place in the road that was in
variably impossible during the season
of spring and fall rains. The ground
became so saturated by the oil that the
mud rapidly dried up, and the surface
OF the earth became hard and remain
ed SO. A tank containing some 100
barrels was used for tests. which were
made on a VIGOROUSLY bad stretch OF
road The results have proved that 1t
is easy to keep the worst road in con-
dition by treating 1t with oil, which
prevents the earth from becoming wet
by forming waterproof crust. Il Ia
estimated that barrel of crude oil will
suffice for strip Of road 100 feet long
and twelve feet wide. The cost of the
oil at the wells is about 80 cents a
barrel, so that this form Of road-mend-
ing is about the cheapest known.

Lizards That Can Grow New Eyes.

The Tustara lizard of New Zealand
is said to be one OF the most ancient
forms of animal life now existing. It
originally possessed four eyes, but
now has to be contented with but two.
1t lays eggs, and these take no less
than thirteen months to hatch out,
the embryos passing the winter In
state of Information. These remarka-
BILE animals are found only In one or
two places in the colony, and they are
rapidly becoming scarce, as collectors
from every part of the world are con-
tinually on their track. They are about
eighteen inches in length, and, like
many of the lizards, are said to have
the characteristic OF being able to re-
place portions Of their limbs, ETC..
which have been destroyed. One owned
by Mr.. Carl Hansen OF Awanui had
the misfortune to lose an eye some
time ago, and now complete eye. as
perfect as the unchanged eye. has
grown in the place of that lost.

MARIE CORELLI ON SUICIDE.
She Thinks 1t Act of UnlustInable
CowsrdIce.

Miss Marie Corelli has sent her
views on suicide to the Kingston De-
batting Society, in the following letter,
quoted in the London Mail: II may
state at once that I do not consider
suicide Justlfiable under any circum-
stances whatever. 1t Is quite true that
God has given us free will in the mat
ter Of ending our lives IL we wish, but
at the same time we must not forget
that free will was not ours when we
came into the world. There can be no
doubt that we are brought into Il for
some purpose known only to the Crea-
tor. and 1t is but towards act to
shrink-nay shirk-the work he has
given us to do. The most difficult
course is the most heroic. To die Is
easy; 1t is but the matter OF a few
minutes; but to live life OF hardship
toll, privation and sorrow, and to live
1t well. is the work of a hero. Does
not our frail human nature exult and
glow when we hear OF some grand act
OF self-abnegation or extreme bravery,
or when we read of the splendid acts
Of bravery and heroism that men have
performed ever since the world be-
gan? Therefore. arguing a la socra-
ties. the most difficult is the best to do
and the bravest. No; this gift of free
will is very sacred one. And who
knows but that there are invisible
spectators of our acts watching as
to whether we use 1t to the best OF our
ability, as soon as we become conscious
of the gift? II we use that free will
to consummate an act OF cowardlce-
suicide-we Immediately state plainly
that we care nothing for the precious
gift Of God which He gave us in the
beginning, and what the result OF that
contempt may be we can not possibly
imagine, save that cowardice is in
stinctively despised by both earth and
heaven"
