SELE-CONyICTED.

The G1ob e has already called atten-
ton to the strange condition of things
which enables the authorities of the
city of st. Paul to prosecute private
citizens in the criminal court and sub
ject them to fine and Imprisonment for
the commission of acts which the city
itself is daily engaged in performing.
Our local police court has decided that
under the existing city ordinances a
business man or his employee can be
punished for allowing smoke to be
emitted in large quantities from a CHM
ney or smoke stack. 1t is quite plain
for all purposes that any man who fires
his boilers with soft coal alone must, In
the nature of things, violate the pro-
visions of the city ordinances which de-
fine the so-called smoke nuisance. AS
long as no devise has yet been discov-
cred which will secure a complete COM
bustion of bituminous coal, any person
using it in large quantities for business
purposes within the city limits is neces-
terms of the ordinances in question.
The G lobe has alleged that the city
of st. Paul has itself been engaged con-
tinuously since the enactment of these
ordinances in committing the nuisances
which it defines and provides punishment
for. Lest there should be any doubt
On this score the evidence has been
furnished, fittingiy enough, by an en-
ploye of the city government who is
perfectly competent to testify.
Discussing a possible coal combination,
whereby the city has been, or may be,
called upon to pay such price for its
coal as the coal companies dictate, Mr.
Gerlach informed the committee which
purchases supplies for the city schools
that only about 400 tons of anthracite
coal was used last year and it was
possible to get along with the soft coal
rather than pay the price demanded
for the former. About 5000 tons Of
soft coal, added Mr.. Gerlach. were used
in the city schools last year.
Mr.. Gerlach as is we'll known, is the
! mechanical superintendent of our pub
lie schools. He is charged with super
vision of the work of securing the coal
supply, and he speaks of knowledge
concerning the use in our city schools
OF soft coal. Now, it is a physical i'm
possibility for any janitor, fireman or
! engineer to fire the boilers of a city
school building with soft coal without
a resulting violation of the ordinances
defining the smoke nuisance. 1t has
been possible for any citizen up to the
| close of the last school year. during five
! days of the week, to secure all the evil
! dence necessary to convict the board of
education Of maintaining a nuisance in
| each and every city school building And
| it will be possible, at any time after cold
! weather sets in, to secure such evidence
! during the coming school year, if the
| school trustees attempt to save the
/ public moneys by buying soft coal Thus
will we have presented once more the
| amazing spectacle OF a city doing itself
with impunity what it Furnishes it's tax
! payers for doing.

Had Third Eye on the Top of the
Head.

Head
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Deep researches as to the structure of
the human body have recently furnished
some startling facts regarding changes
which man is at present undergoing ply
sically.
1t is believed that man was formerly
endowed with more teeth than he possess
ses now. Abundant evidence exists that
ages and ages ago, human teeth were
used as weapons of defense. Uninten-
tionally, traces of such use are often
revealed by a sheer. The teeth are some
times barred, dog-like, ready, as it were,
for action
The practice of eating our food cooked
and the disuse of teeth as weapons are
said to be responsible for the degenera-
ton that is going on. The wisdom teeth,
in fact, are disappearing. Human jaws,
found in reputed PalaeOlitic deposits,
have wisdom teeth with crowns as large
as. if not larger than, the remaining mo-
lars.
In ancient times short-sfghted soldier
or hunter was almost an impossibility;
today a whole nation is afflicted with de-
fective vision. 1t is. almost certain that
man once possessed a third eye, by means
Of which he was enabled to see above
his head. The human eyes formerly re-
gaTded the world from the two sides of
the head. They are even now gradually
shifting TO a more forward position.
In the dim past the ear-tlap was of
great service in ascertatning the direc-
ton of sounds, and operated largely in
the play of the features. But the mus
cies of the ear have fallen into disuse,
for the fear Of surprise by enemies no
longer exist.
Again, our sense of smell is markedly
inferior 10 that of the savages. That 1t
IS still decreasing is evidenced by obser-
vations of the olfacory organ. But the
nose still indicates a tendency to become
more prominent.

BY ALI MEANS. KILL 1T.

The board of aldermen Tuesday referred
to its committee on streets a project
which it ought to have killed without
further ado. 1t was an ordinance giving
the privilege of maintaining boxes for
waste paper at the street crossings for
q period of ten years.
On its face the scheme would indicate
that the pair of gentlemen mentioned are
two sanitarians who are so deeply con-
cerned in the cleanliness Of the city.s
Streets that they propose to maintain at
their own expense a receptacle for waste
paper and like cast-off material at each
street corner. On examination, however

CHARACTER IN NOSES.

Generally speaking, noses may be d.
vided into five classes-the Roman or
aggressive, the acquisitive nose. tbe
aQuiline, the turned-up and the fiat
Owners of Roman noses have obstinate
aggressive natures and most always
want their own way in everything thew
undertake. Irritability warmth of af
lection and fondness for society NAV
also be characteristic of the owner of a
Roman nose
Men successful in the financial world
have the acquisitive nose. which is curved.
1t indicates a cautious and keen disposf
ton with defensive powers toward any
personal possessions
The aquiline or Greek nose is the most
beautiful of all. 1t denotes a nature
full of refinement and shows thai the
owner is lover of the fine arts. has an
active disposition toward things in sz-rn-
pathy with his own ideas and is of q
courageous spirit
The turned-up nose is seen everywhere
It's owners ask questions in cbiIdisb
way instead of finding out things for
themselves.
The fat nose is usually the herald of
a good natured person apt to be rather
vain and shallow but with intuitive
faculties.

someone the corporation attorney or the

II rests with the inspectors to say
whether the council shall escape respon-

many report increased activity on the
part of agitators who are exerting their
influence to curtail to the minimum the
Importation of American food products
into that country. While these reports
are not made public, it is known they
represent that greater effort than ever
before will be made to secure from the
next meeting Of the reichstag a statute
providing for an inspection by agents of
the German government of all American
products, which shall be so strict as to
entirely ignore the certificates of Ameri-
can inspection. The agitation is con-
Quoted principally by the agrarians, and
it is stated that the press is being used
to quite an unwonted extent to create
public sentiment adverse to all American
food articles. Especial attention is given
to our beef, and liberal use is made of
the testimony taken before the war in
Vesugating committee and the beef court
of Inquiry. This agitation in itself has
had the effect of reducing German con-
sumption of our meat products, but the
officials here are not especially appre-
hepsive Of legislation.

BEAUTIFUL SUMMIT AVENUE.
Kind Words Said About One of St.
PauPs Streets.

PauPs Streets.
A writer In the Hotel World, of Chi
cago, has the following to say about
Summit avenue and the paving of ST.
Paul streets:
St. Paul is known to many as one of
the most attractive residence cities of
America. A gentleman who has made
study of European cities said: of
course the cities of the Rhine are praised
III rhymes and songs of famous poets We
lack all this though possessed of greater
beauty There is inspiration here, and
IL poets were as Indigenous to Ameri-
can soil as real estate boomers and pro-
motors, st. Paul would soon hear her
beauties sounded in verse and song,
though I fear that in this commercial age
Rhine legends will never form a part of
the city's literature. One is asked to
compare Summit avenue, with its winding
curves, its palaces and gardens, and its
enchanting views seen from it's elevated
position on the river, to Euclid avenue
and other noted streets. AS it is wholly
unlike them, and has charm and dignity
absolutely its own, comparisons are out
of place. Like a painting of merit, Sum
nit avenue may we'll be left to stand
alone; no one will dispute any claim it
may make, and any city may be proud
of such a street, of it's natural beauty,
not necessarily what wealth has done
for the thoroughfare.
During the period that built half
dozen or more large office and CONNER
ciaI buildings, such as equal those of
New York and Chicago, and since then,
many of the streets have been paved
with asphalt This applies to business
streets down town and a few residence
streets, and as they are swept and washed
ST. Faul is in part clean as Wash
ington. Who would notice this more
than a citizen of dirty Chicago? st. Paul
also has some of the worst wood pave
ments imaginable"
