Will some one be so kind as to ex-
plain why the streets OF Alexandra
nave not been cleaned this summer? l
have lived here for fifteen yes and
never saw them 10 such condition.
We constantly hear from the doctors
that every one ought to drink boiled
water, which is troublesome, ana also
iisagreeable to the taste, but not a
WORT do you hear from any OF them OF
the filthy condition of streets and al,
Ieys, and they OF all people, one would
imagine, would be constantly reminded
OF the condition OF things by the horri-
ole smells which must greet them from
the different parts Of the city they have
to visit, and how important 1t 10, at
this season OF the year especially, that
some attention should be paid to the
cleaning of the city. II is very hard
for housekeepers to keep their pave
ment, and cutters clean when every
nan and boy takes delight In throw

Strange ReptlIee.

A western writer thinks one of the Sc
yerest tests ever put upon his rlsibles was
endured at a London dinner table.
He was seated next a lovely, rosy
checked, gray eyed English girl who DIS
played most absorbing and fiattering
interest in his native land. She appeared
to have imbibed some extraordinary ideas
about the perils to be encountered in
the newly settled regions Of the United
States and tried not to look incredulouS
when she was assured that things were
really not as bad as she imagined.
"Im sure it's pleasant to be told there
are not rattlesnakes in all the gardens,
she said, with a pretty smile, but my
cousin wrote not long ago that he had
seen over 400 wigwams in one little viii
lage. Perhaps" she added as her com
panion made no immediate reply, the
wigwams are not as venomous as rattle
snakes, are they?"

Now, if the pebbles are banded black
