MUSTN'T "SASSO THE KAISER

Those who have the dignity of Kaiser Wilhelm in charge are very "touchy.'
 The other day two boys, one fourteen years old the other sixteen, upset a plaster bust of the Kaiser in public garden and made uncomplimentary re- marks about it. For applying oppro- bious epithets to this graven image of Emperor William they were sent to jail for a month. An old woman in Silesia. whose neighbors regard her as being almost in her second childhood, declar- ed that the Kaiser was giving to a horde of parasites money which be- longs to the poor. For daring to refer to his Imperial Majesty in such shock ing terms she has been sentenced to imprisonment for four months. Re- gently the Kaiser was attacked by an epileptic, who threw piece of iron at him, causing a slight wound on the Emperors face. A young German ex- pressed regret that the injury was not more serious He has been given a year in prison to reflect upon the folly of making unnecessary remarks
 How much more comfortable it is to live in a country where the rulers ex- rect about so much sass" and pay no attention to it. The free speech and the free pictures that are directed against our rulers are often too free, but they don't upset the government, or, indeed, make much impression on it.

that these widths are ample, and the paving has been put in at q very low cost to the property owners. The mis- take is very often made by property owners of paving a street for thirty forty or fifty feet width where twen- tyfour-foot or thirty-foot street would do just as well.
 There has been extravaganza in pav- ing in the West, and there has also been extravaganza in paving in the East New Haven, Connecticut, is going to have some fine pavements if they are ever done.

EYTR 4 T4GANCE IN PAYING

Many a western "city'' has bankrupt
 ed itself by trying to pave too many wide streets, and the advice given by the president of the Michigan Engineer good. He cautioned the officials of small towns not to be too ambitious in laying out their roads, since it was bet ter to have narrow ones well paved than wide ones not paved at all, or at an expense the community cannot af- ford. He instanced the case of Wauson, Ohio, where the main street is seventy two feet between curbs and contains no car tracks. He advocated a sixty-foot pavement, that being more than ample for the needs of village of 2,500 or B. GOO inhabitants. The seventy two-foot pavement, however, was put in. A light fall of snow shortly after the pavement was finished showed the width of pavement they really required Three days after that snowfall he took  the council over that street, and all of the traffic that had passed over it could have been handled on a thirty-two foot street, At the sides the snow was ru- broken, excepting where pedestrian or dog had walked across it. At Delta, a small village of perhaps one thousand inhabitants, eighteen miles west of To- ledo the main street Is fifty feet wide. They have something like a mile If street paving under contract, and the width settled upon is eighteen feet for streets which have little travel and no teams hitched on them and twenty four feet and thirty feet on the busi- ness street. Thus far it has been found

SUND.1 BIIL-PLI TING

A New York judge has just reversed young men for playing baseball on the first day of the week. He holds that there is no more reason for prohibiting the playing of game of ball on Sun day in an orderly manner than there is for prohibiting bicycling, riding or yachting.
 We don't know whether this is good law in New York or not, but it will strike many as good sense. Things have changed since the old Sunday laws were made, and nowadays most people try to have as good time as they can on Sunday. Some of them compromise by going to meeting too, but most peo- pie frankly use all or a part of Sunday as a day of pleasure There is profes- sional Sunday ball playing in the West and unprofessional Sunday ball playing in the East. It isn't any worse than many of the other things that are done on Sunday, and it isn't as bad as some of them. This is no argument for Sun day ball playing. It is simply a state ment of facts. At the recent session of the Connecticut legislature an attempt was made to legalize Sunday ball-play- ing in this State. It failed. The time is hardly ripe yet for legalZing the playing of games in this State on Sun day. Of course several of them are played, but wickedly and illegally Probably the time will come when they will be played legally, if wickedly.

King Edward retains his rank as field marshal in the British army. The king, in any case. even had he never held rank in the army, immediately on his accession becomes the head of the army. but it was not considered certain that he would retain the actual rank of field marshal. The number of field marshals in the British army is ex- tremely limited, and it is quite excep- tional for field marshal to be actively employed in an army appointment At the present moment there is but one of ficer-Lord Roberts-so employed The latter, by the way has resolved not to insist upon being granted the wider powers possessed by the holder of the office of commander-in-ch chief prior to Lord Wolseleys appointment. He feels that his personal influence is sufficient to enable him, even with the restric
 tions created in 1895, to carry through the reforms he considers necessary.

The University of Illinois has invit- ed the other principal seats of learn ing in the West to join it in prohibiting the hiring of coaches in any branch of athletic sport. 'The prevailing usage Is unwise," say President Draper and the trustees, "because 1t is destructive of university self-d dependence, because 1t encourages extravagant expenditure and invites professionalism, because it makes the game battle between rival coaches, who become indifferent to the hazards of the contests, and because it results in the overtraining of the men to extent which is hurtful physically and which units them for regular uni yersity work"

The New English tax on sugar has led to Inquiries as to the food value Of sugar, with the result of showing that 1t is indispensable. On the whole, says the London Chronicle, sugar is safe and excellent food. It is one of our energy producing nutrients, and resembles fat, to which, however, it is inferior in respect of it's force-evolving powers. There is no doubt that sugar figures to-day in diet lists of varied kinds to an extent unrepresented in past years. Athletes train on it, or at least include it among the things they may consume. Horses, abroad espe- cially, have sugar included in their dietary. The German soldier is being treated to a larger sugar ration than he formerly enjoyed, because scientific experts have declared it's muscle-toning powers.
