DIET AND GENIUS.

From the Two Republics.
| That there is drunken faint in mod
ern writings is statement based on
the authority of George Bernard Shaw
critic and playwright. Mr.. Shaw is
besides a teetotaler. a vegetarian. and
is also credited with various other
| theories at variance with those of the
average artist. He declares that when
he wants to work he must seek country
air. Other writer's work in town at
night. They first poison themselves.
according to Mr.. Shaw, with alcohol
and tobacco. All modern literature is.
he plainly declares, drunken. "A faint
of tobacco, wine and of meat-eating
runs right through it, Dealing with
these views of Mr.. Shaw the Washing
ton Times points out that, while Mr..
Shaw works in the country air, he has
evolved, in the way of dramas, certain
situations of extraordinary prominence
and decadence. Some problems dealt
with by him under the balmy influence
of rural breezes he treats in a way
which would not command itself to
principals, for instance, of young la
dies seminaries. So much of his writ
ing is, according to the Times, so warp
ed, unnatural and eccentric as to sug-
gest an after midnight hour. and, if not
champagne and Turkish cigarettes, alb
Slntne ana opium certainly. 1t is all
very well to lay down general rule
as to work in fresh air, but how few
are masters sufficiently of their time
to work under such a promising con-
dition?
The theory that diet influences intel
lectual activity and brilliancy is not
new. The transcendentalists of New
England claimed their best work as
from graham bread and raw
apples. But Emerson candidly admit
ted that he liked both meat and pie.
men, like all others, differ in
their choice of food. Individual tastes
dictate individual habits. Writers
should, in act, order their tables to
suit their tastes and their pockets. mo
diet in the world" we'll says the Wash
ington Times, will make cold-hop-
per into a genius. nor can the powers
of the latter be destroyed by failure to
adhere to a scheme of living which is,
on the whole, best for the average
man. Not even the most wholesome
American diet could, for example,
make a poet of England's poet lau-
reate," and American fresh air would
certainly send him across the Stygian
wave.

SOME SUGGESTIONS ON
STREET IMPROVEMENT.

One of the crying needs of the
city of Ell Paso is a steam roller OF
large size 1t would soon save its cost
in street repairs. If n heavy roller
were used on the streets all the time
in connection with sprinkling, the sur
faces would never be in a condition to
absorb the water and become full Of
ruts, as they are at present. Such lit
tie cuts as resulted from use during a
wet spell could soon be smOOthed
down and hardened into the surface
again, by rolling as soon as the worst
of the water had run off or evaporated.
The natural cement used in this sec
ton makes the best kind of pavement
surface. There is many community
in the east that would be glad to pay
good money for such a surfacing ma
terial for their clay and sand roads.
We in the west do not yet appreciate
the wealth of our resources in this re-
spect. When we do realize it, we will
have the best street surfaces in the
country, barring asphalt-surfaces
that, if kept in repair, will wear as we'll
block, except, of course, on the
streets of the heaviest travel.
Our paving material is far superior
to the crushed rock used in the ordin-
airy macadam pavements. 1t is easier
to form and easier to keep surfaced up.
All that is needed is heavy steam roll
Ter, spriEkling, and intelligent over
sight of the street work.
The streets should first be solidly
built. The foundation should be firm
1y laid; it should be thick and we'll
packed. built of egg sized rock mixed
with some tar, if possible, and wet and
packed repeatedly, until the foundation
should assume the shape ana appear
ance of a we'll graded street. Then
the surface should be put on, of select
ed natural cement, free from rocks.
Then with successive wetting and roll
ing the street could be made as good
for Ell Paso's purposes as the finest as
phalt
The same material and treatment,
with less thickness of foundation, of
course, should be applied to our side
walks. The city should turn in and
build a sidewalk like those IN the
plaza, along both sides of every street
in the city limits. The cost would not
be large, and the taxpayers would not
object to the levy OF general tax to
carry out these improvements, that are
SO badly needed.

The world will heave a sigh of relief
to have Mrs. Maybrick off its mind and
conscience, if it is to have such good
luck. At frequent intervals we have
bene deluged with lachrymose ac-
counts of her beauty and innocence,
with alternating accounts of her feline,
eely, cold, cruel nature. Right or
wrong, the woman has served four
teen years of her life in prison, the best
days of her beauty, and she is not like
ly to poison another husband or lay
herself open to any suspicion of such a
deed. Other women too, who know of
her long and unhappy Imprisonment,
will think twice before poisoning the
husbands of their bosoms. The mai
esty of the law has been upheld, and
one of the good things of the new CEN
fury will be the probable exit of Mrs.
Maybrick and of her wrongs or rights.
from publicity into privacy.

sidewalks. it is a good place to bring
up suggestion that may serve to solve
some of the problems of both. Under
the prevailing method there is curb
of wood or cement erected at the edge
of the street Within that the trees
are planted, and within the line of
trees there is lin rare cases. a sidewalk
that the theatrical profession would
call practicable" When it rains, the
streets, being poorly graded, and not
paved or properly surfaced, are very
wet. The water stands in pools, and it
is only by evaporation that the streets
dry up at all. But as soon as the sur
face water dries up. the people have to
go on watering their trees by running
water at twenty cents a thousand gal
Ions into the little bitches that irri-
gate the trees. The result is a waste
all around.
The suggestion is this-that new
style be introduced, especially along
these streets where there are few ce-
ment sidwalks and tn street surface is
in the worst condition. Under this
plan, the curb would be placed inside
the line of trees, and the street SO
graded, with high center hard sur
faced, that the rain water would at
once run from the center to the sides,
or cutters. The trees would be planted
practically in the cutters, and they
would tend to keep the soil porous,
and to absorb the moisture, so that af-
ter a rain the center of tie street would
be dry, and the sides would quick
ly dry through the absorption of the
water.
This is plan especially recommend
ed for the low streets where the drain
age is poorest. A practica! illustration
of the plan in operation can be seen
right now on Magoffin avenue, just be-
yond st. Vrain, where the trees are old
md thick, and planted outside the curb.
The center of the street is wet, because |
it is not graded high enough to run the |
water off, but the sides are quite dry, |
and were dry a very little while after |
the rain, because the trees have acted |
Is sponges to absorb the surplus water. |

ace, for he had been there, but what he
wanted to know about was the general all
round celebration. Finally he realized that
English boys do not celebrate the Fourth
so he determined that one, James See
Fentheringham would repair the omission
In his years stay in London Jimsey had
made the acquaintance of two other New
York boys who had gone to England with
their parents. One of them named
O'Brien and the other was called Van Der
Hyde. To these boys Jimsey unfolded his
plans for celebrating the Fourth, and as it
so happened that they, too, were puzzled
by the absence of fireworks in London early
in July, they fell in eagerly with Jimseys
plans.
They made a joint fund of what money
they had between them and then forming
themselves into a committee of three, they
went forth and purchased fine assortment
of the noisest and most impressive fire
works their money would buy.
On the morning of the Fourth they as
sembled outside the law courts in the
Strand. The policeman who is always on
duty at that spot must have turned into
doorway for a moment, for no one came to
