Few persons realize what sa nitary
agent is the sprinkling in our
cities, because few appreciate the dam
gers to health and life that lurk in
dust, especially street dust, says
Youths Companions.
The injurious effects of street dust
are Of two kinds-those due to the
mechanical injury of the gritty powder
and those due to the action of the dis
ease germs contained in it. When one
realizes that the streets, even in WELL
cleaned cities, are a receptacle for all
sorts of filth-decaying vegetable mat
ter, such as cigar stumps, banana skins
and apple parings, manure and expec-
torated matter-ground up into fine
powder with SCOT and particles of sand
and cobblestones, one can readily un-
derstand that disease may be caused by
the inhalation of clouds of such dust.
There is no doubt that many cases Of
consumption are directly due to the
dust of city streets. The gritty par
Of the nose and larynx, and set up a
catarrh which prepares the soil for the
tubercle bacilli, present often in great
numbers in the same dust.
Other diseases also may be caused in
the same way, and it is believed that
cases of lockjaw, which sometimes oc-
cur without any previous wound, arise
from the entrance of the germ of this
disease into the bronchial tubes from
the dust of the streets. The amount
of dust in a city varies according to the
care ta.en to clean the streets. but it
varies especially with the kind of pave
ment, macadamized streets being in
this respect the worst and the asphalt
ed streets the best. But all city streets,
no matter how paved or how well
swept, need constant watering to
keep the dust laid, and particularly is
this the case since the automobile and
the trolley-car have come with their
rapid movement, which raises thick
clouds of dust.
In some places in this country the
experiment has been made of sprink-
ling the country roads with petroleum,
and the results, so far as laying the
dust is concerned, are good. The oil,
however, soils the dresses of ladies,
and is therefore Objectionable. Bet
ter results have been obtained recently
in France by the application of coal
tar, which makes a surface like AS
phalt, but not so impervious, capable
of arresting the dust particles as they
form anew and incorporating them in
itself. In cities, however, this is inn
practicable. and the watering-cart is
there the only safety.

Miss Kate Brown, Recording Secre-

A VERY OLD SLANG PHRASE
e"Nothing D0ing' Is an Ancient Ex-
precision That IL Found in the
Classics.

Some of those who affect the pic
turesque in their language, interlard-
ing their speech with what they sup
pose to be the latest slang phrases,
eschewing accepted and approved
English for what they think is the lat
est up-to-date coinage of the purleus.
may be shocked to learn that one of
the latest and most frequently used
phrases is at least so years old, and
possibly classic, writes the Brooklyn
Eagle. This phrase is nothing do
ing" Thomas De Quincy, in writing
his paper on the "Knocking at the Gate
in Macbeth" all of so years ago.
framed this sentence: IAN other MUIR
ders (referring to Macbeth's) look
pale by the deep crimson of his, and, as
an amateur once said to me in a
querulous tone: There has been alb
solutely nothing doing since his time,
or nothing that's worth speaking Of :"
Here the phrase is used in precisely the
same form and in the same meaning
that it is by the professor of slang in
this day:
Shakespeare uses it as nothing
done," but in the same. sense, in "Meas-
Ore lot MedSuTe, Mig Lear anu
''Othello." Enough is shown to prove
that the latest slang is, after all, old
and of good use. Hitching this wagon
of slang phrase to the stars, De
Quincy and Shakespeare, it becomes
ella ssic. ~.
1t is a fair deduction to be drawn
from the De Quincy quotation that
the phrase nothing doing" was slang
in the day of his writing, and was used
| as such. It will be noted that the bril-
liant master of style did not use the
phrase except as quotation. From
whom? An amateur murderer. This
amateur 1aments that in the way of
murders there has been nothing do
| ing" since that done by Macbeth worth
speaking of. It is fair conclusion
| that a man who tries his hand at muir
| der purely as an amateur with an eff
| fortto attain that degree of skill which
he has set up as standard for himself
| is of that class and manner of men who
use slang as habit of speech. And it,
therefore, may be deducted that De
Quincey's amateur was using the cur
| rent slang Of his day.

Hundreds Of Dollars
Spent In Vain--Pe-
ru-ua Cured.

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause OF death.
tits more often, however, the cause Of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de
ranged by q neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result o1
q neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc.
tors and medicines trying to cure thesa
diseases, but until the true cause Of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-

ware Hospital having noticed in the

THE PULP MILLS
EXPLOSION.

Editor OF The Republican, Sir:-A
a time when the sympathy of the en-
tire city has gene out TO the families
of the Victims Of the pulp mills explo
sion and the horrors of the death Of
these unfortunate men would 1t mol
be well to see the Attorney Genera
and the Coroner take some action. l,
has been said, that the only witness.
es who could know anything OF the
cause are dead. This cannot be in
my opinion. There are foremen In the
works, superintendent and the men
who have inspected the digesters and
boilers. The machinists and boiler
men who from time to time have Wis.
tied the pulp mills to make repairs
Or inspect the digesters surely can
be secured.
Not only 10 the pulp mills but in
other mills are there boilcls about
which the lives of hundreds Of people
hang by thread. Coroner Frlck
owes it as a duty to the public 10 Sc.
lect the best possible jury he can
find. He should select men who
know something bout such death
dealing agents as dIgcsters and
steam boilers.
| am Of the opinion that the whole
case should be cleared up under oath
ana that the attorney General should
take hand in the inquest. Let the
State detectives get To work as they
did In other cases aud not depend on
the testimony furnished by the com.
pany. But we are too easy. The
people stand by and allow all man.
ncrs of risks to be taken and when
an accident happens every enc is
Mortified. Suppose fire breaks out
in some Of our factories how will the
poor girls get out of the big build. |
ing, Take that hosiery on Lancaster
Avenue and in case Of fire it Is a
death trap. There is no way to get
out, Chief Welsh of the fire depart
ment served notice On the owners
last year but no attention was paid
to him. A poor fellow vino falls to

day has to pay fine and the man
who endangers hundreds Of lives is
allowed to keep their lives in danger.

Let none but competent men dc al

eral see that this pulp mills explosion
is sitcd to the very cotton. Every
one knows now that these men came
to their death by injuries received BY

WATERSP0UTS
AT CAPE MAY.

While the people of this sector
were surprised at a heavy shower
of rain yesterday afternoon visit
ors to Cape May viewed wonderous
spectacle of five waterspouts. They
came into view about five miles
off the shore at II o'clock in the
morning, and all were formed and
broken within forty minutes.
A heavy thunderstorm sounded
the premonitory note. 1t approach.
ed from the southwest. The clouds
grew heavy and the heavens were
darkened. At the same time a
windstorm with all the velocity OF
a hurricane. approached through
the eastern portion Of the town,
sweeping chairs frame veraudas
and tearing the shutters from the
windows OF houses. The dust was
binding. the pedestrians made hur-
ried runs for their homes, cropping
through the dark. A small panic seiz.
cd the bathers on the beach and
guards had 10 carry some Of the
women to places OF safety.
AS the wlndstorp swept onwarr
and out to sea the heavens seemed
10 open, aud there was a terrific
downpour OF rain, accompanied by
vivid and almost binding flashes
otlightening. The entire populat.
lou OF the town was affected by
the demonstration of the elements.
Abont five miles from shore it look !
I'd as though all the storms had met
on common field. watery though
It was. Three waterspouts IN
quick succession shot up and were
rapidly dissolved; then, to the south
east Of where the three had been !.

would bring it 10, the shore. It.
made an inward rush until within
bout one and oue-half miles from
he shore. There it met with a
aging sea. The deep black at sea
vas suddenly sh,rted by the suns

hey had come did the spouts dis. ,
