DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.
Method and Cost of Burning II In
England.

While the accumulation of refuse in
the smaller towns has not so great n
hearing on public health as in the
larger towns and cities ncatneSS and
cleanliness are always desirable. and
many diseases are directly traced to
carclcSsncsS in this matter. Typhoid
fever is considered 10y Socialists as IL
filth disease. Ignorance and stupidity
are often responsible for outbreaks of
disease in localities that with tritling
care in the disposition of sink drains
and garbage would never have Oc-
cured. Kitchen refuse thrown in a
heap in the back yard. there to tester
and rot, is always Il dangerous neigh
Dor. What cannot be burned should
be disposed of in maIiher that will
preclude the possibility of its becOm-
ing menace to public health.
The refuse in the district of Ealing,
adjacent to London. which has Il popu-
latiOn of 2J,OOO. is burned in q patent
'.deStructor" which has four cells. 1t
fuel used is Il fine coke. and the guam
tity consumed costs 81 cents Il day.
The cost of the dcStructOr was 10000.
The quantity of refuse burned is 6l2O
tons per year. The heat from the de
structor is utilized by boiler supply
ing steam for an engine which drives
the lime mixing machines and clay
mixer for the "cwage portion Of the
works.
The local authorities in the Battersca
division of London, with a population
Of 100000. have erected patent lie
structor with n chimney $50 feet i'll
height. Ii cost S.I ,OGO and consumes
$4,000 tons of refuse Il year. and there
are no complaints about offensive odor

THE HABIT or LYING.
Ways In which Prev:ricntion May
he Developed.

He Developed.
How does one become Il liar-tnat is
to say. how does the child discover Il
lie and habitually make use of it?
We can admit that ut the beginning
there is absolute sincerity. The child
through all it's first years neither lies
nor dissimulatcs. Its sentiments. it's
desires. translate themselves into words
and into acts. Its lody is the constant
and perfect expression of its inmost
being Such is the starting point-sin-
Cerity. absolute transparency.
There is Il multitude of little lies
tolerated which we treat as pardon
able. We tell the domestic to say we
are not ut home when we are: we COM
plimcnt people to their faces and crit
icise them when they are gone: we say
we are happy to see some one and di-
rectly after speak of having been an
noyed. No more is necessary. The eX-
ample has been given.
We lie to the child himself. We are
pressed by his many embarrassing
questions and in order to free ourselves
from the embarrassment rcil;y with

fine day he discovers the truth. and the
evil is done. The gravest case is when
the child is taken as an accomplice in Il
lie or when his mother tells him.
above all, do not tell this to your
papa" This is the ruin of all morality.
The third stage is the first encounter
of the child with society. the first
shock with social life. The child who
tells all he knows, see; and hears, all
that he would better have left unsaid.
is called tie ''Cnfa:it TERRIBLE" His
parents do rot tell him to lie. but they
tell him it is not necessary to tell all
he thinks. This is extremely serious,
as it teaches the child that he cannot
show himself as he is. This is the
revelation of the lie obligatory. Above
all among his comrades he quickly
learns to dissimulatc. because if he is
expresses all his joys. pains, de
sires-thcy make sport of him; nay,
worse. they abuse his confidence: the
hopes. projects which he has cOntided
to them he some day secs used against
him.
Thus the impossibility of living with
out lying is revealed to him. Society
excuses certain forms of lying which
are inspired by a feeling of politeness,
mOdeSty. shame.
The child becomes liar because all
the world about him lies. The distinc-
tion between the liar and the man of
sincerity is only relative. There are in
reality only two catcgoricS- those who
content themselves with the lies exact
cd by social life and those who have
habitrlatcd themselves to lying more
than society wishes. to lie because of
some personal interest.
An important cause in the develop
mcnt of lying in children is the en-
ploymcnt of excessive and i'll advised
puniShmcntS. The child who becomes
liar is the one who lives in perpetual
terror of rcproachcS. humiliation or
strokes. The lie for him is a supreme
resourcc.-ChicagO Tribune.

The board of supervisors of Nevada

Gle: Whereas, The public roads of Ne
vada county are in depIorable condi
tion, for which reason immigration to
Nevada county is discouraged; and,
whereas, the funds of the several road
districts as well as the general road
fund of said county are in n depleted
condition. which renders ii impossible
for the road commissioners of Sa i'll
county to place said roads in proper
condition; and. whereas. in the opinion
of this board nothing would tend more
to aid in the work of inducing inlmi-
grafton to said county than the plac-
Ing OF the roads in better condition,
which improvement would also Incl
dentally advertise the agricultural.

of said county; now, therefore. be it

young men determined to reform him,
and one day they read to him an imag-
mary paragraph from paper relating
Il terrible accident in which an inebri-
ate in blowing out a candle was killed
by the flame igniting the alcoholic
fumes of his breath. James prickcd
up his ears at this and requested that
the paragraph might he read to him
again. which was done, to the evident
horror of the poor man, who imme-
diately went in search of Il Bible.
