Mr.. Eduoy:-Our City Faith

to the way they are treated.

sistants to grow fat on the. un-
necessary suffering of the peo>
pie.
Mr.. Cobb, the former Treas
urer, owes the town over s. 800
and yet no legal steps are taken
to collect it. Why not have
the suit brought and get judg~
ment at March Court. There is
no reason, we learn, why this
can't be done.
It is true the town has retain
ed Mr.. Cobb's attorney who is
also attorney for Mr.. Cobb's
bondsmen, but it he cannot
bring the suit they ought to
have someone else who can.
These matters should not be
neglected. Why borrow when
we can collect our own money.

made against the Mayor, while

STOPPING so low as to allow "pol

ing all applicants to bring to
me a note of recommendation
from some responsible person
who knew of their distress, and
what they needed; and no one
who brought to me that kind of
a recommendation was turned
down. A number of colOred
people who were required to
bring a recommendation never
returned, aud one white man
never came back, although as
sured that if be would come he
would be helped. This can
prove by competent witnesses
who heard our conversation, |
can also prove that he admitted
that fact to others. | am salts

to publishing list Of the needy
that were helped, | can give the
names of everyone, but l think
that it would have been very
unkind to have published them.
1t would have been quite humil-
lating to many of them, to have
seen their names in the paper as
bene6ciaries to the poor fund.

Developing the Rubber Industry.

: Capitalists are somewhat enthusiast
tic over the future of the rubber in
,dustry. Unless some substitute for
rubber is found, the demand is likely
to be imperative and Increasing for
many years. At present prices rule
rather high and somewhat firm for
good quality primarily because some of
the original sources Of supply are ex-.
hausted. Among the practical plans
of rubber growers is the putting out
of young forests and cultivating the
trees as one might cultivate other
crops. Experiments seem to prove
that a most excellent quality of rubber
may be made from the leaves of the
plant and that it is by no means nee
essary to destroy the trees, as has
heretofore been the custom. The leaves
are boiled and processed in various
ways, the result being a finer product
than that obtained by the usual meth
cd of tapping the tree and saving the
exuding juice. Plantations of from
one to ten acres have been started and
are reported as doing remarkably we'll.

THE CHILD WAS DEAD.

ping on, and by her winning ways and
pretty face soon wins the applause of
the audience; and she smiles back at
them until they think that life and her
must be a happy dream. While the
comedian, who stands poised on a ta-
bile, forgets to grimace at the people as
he watches her until she makes her
exit.
Then he turns with leap and is the
fool once more.
When at last the curtain Is rung
down he hurries to his dressing room,
and, discarding the ugly wig, washes
the grease paint from his face and
stands, no longer a fool, but a father
whose only thought is for his child.
AS soon as his trunk is packed he
goes down stairs to find the dancer
waiting at the stage door.
MAY go home with you?" she asks,
heseechingly. g..
II would rather, for your sake, you
would not" he answers. -
But his voice bellies his words. so
she puts her arm in his, and together
they pass down the street, only pausing
for moment beneath a dim lamp that
he may wrap his muller around her
neck.

CUPID IN A. CANTEEN.

dispatch from Rock Island, Ill.
announces that letter written in 1864
by romantic Brooklyn girl of 16 has
just been discovered in an old can
teen. A wOrkingman at the Rock ISL
and arsenal found the letter, faded and
brown, in one of a number of can
teens made in Brooklyn during the
civil war and sent to Rock Island to
be recovered. The letter reads as fol-
lows:
If the soldier who receives this can
teen should chance to uncover it let
him remember the young lady that
covered it by addressing a letter to her,
as she likes to hear from our soldiers,
and I hope the soldier that receives
this will vote for Little Mac, for I hope
we shall have him for our next presi-
dent. We have had enough for Old
Abe"
The letter was signed by Rosa Cor
vim, 211 Gold street, Brooklyn. In the
years during which this letter of a SEN
timental school girl has been molder-
ing away in the old canteen the char
acter of the best sections of the big
cities has changed, and that part OF
Gold street to-day is tenement quar-
ter. In 1864 it was good residential
district.
The former school girl, Miss Rosa
Corvin, has since become Mrs. M. A.
Leary, and now lives at 1862 Seventh
avenue, Manhattan. She said last
night that she was very young girl
in 1864, and that she had no recollec-
tion of having written the letter which
was found in the old canteen. In fact,
she was SO very young at that time
that she thought it impossible thai
she could have written it.

Sanitation in the Dairy.

q a scientist who has devoted much
attention to the subject informs us that
an p the average dairy the ordinary pre-
cautions as to cleanliness and sanitary
conditions are almost entirely ignored.
Samples of milk taken from the ordin-
ary dairy show $4,000 bacteria, while
$50 were found in the same volume for
milk where all Of the conditions OF
cleanliness were met. This is
somewhat serious showing and empha-
sizes the need of much more care than
IS ordinarily exercised. The same au-
-tnor tells us that milk should be Sub
Jeeted to temperature of 140 degrees
Fahrenheit before being used as a bev-
erage. In handling milk the care
should begin with the COW. The ami
NAL ought to be thoroughly washed if
there Is the slightest indication to the
eye that she requires it. That she
should be groomed daily goes without
saying, and that milking should never
pc done without brushing the sides of
the cow, where dust Is likely to adhere.
These rules, however, are entirely Sec
ondary to the feeding and general care
Of the animal. Very few dairy herds
are gwen the proper nutrition. In
stead OF clean grain and the best care,
they are In many instances fed upon
brewers waste and whatever pasture
they can pick up. Sometimes cows de-
Veiop abnormal appetites When this
occurs they should be taken at once
out of the dairy herd and fattened for
beet, as they will never recover their
normal condition. Kitchen slops, dish
water and garbage should never be
put where COWS can get at them. They
lead to the formation of depraved tastes
and make the milk unfit for use.

Eeclaiming California Dunae.

The reclamation Of the sand dune
territory Of the Pacific coast at Golden
Gate Park, near San Francisco, is car
ried on as follows: The shifting sand
is first seeded with sand grass (Arundo
arenaria) and this is allowed to grow
for two years; by this time the ground
is sufficiently held in place to permit
the planting of the Monterey pine and
cypress, and these trees, in two or
three years, complete the reclamation.
The entire cost Of reclamation does not
exceed $50 per acre, tld out of the
1,040 acres in the park 500 acres are
now planted with the pines.-Engineer-

Preparing Bees for WIntering.

At an Indiana convention some years
ago L. r. Jackson said: I have made
wintering of bees a special study,
knowing that unless we can be more
successful in wintering we can never
make bee-keeping profitable busi-
ness. Several things are essential to
safe w:ntering, and preparations should
begin early in the season. One of the
most essential things is plenty of good
honey as free from pollen as possible.
