With care and exnedtion.

Wltn care ana eNpeulllons
Tie rernova, OF aches is accompanied
with much that Is disagreeable. For
tNenty-four hours a street may be lined
with all sorts OF unsishtly receptacles.
and when the carts come along If
there happens to be a high wind. there
are clouds OF dust as each box or bar
rel is emptied This is exceedingly an-
noying 90 persons on the street. and
the dust creeps ia through cracks and
open doors and is nuisance to the
housewife.
Ia certain German cities. we are told.
the dihiculty is o0viated by having
sheet iron receptacles Of uniform
size, each with lid and these are
hauled away and emptcd beyond the
city limits. one bin is taken away and
another is left in its place. This re-
duces the labor OF removing ashes, ana
reduces the Objectionable featuies TO
the minimum
This brings us down TO the question
OF garbage collections. We expec, great
Improvement in our system. but the
time is coming shen the whole method
win have TO be changed. There is
nothing more offensive than sie an the
details Of these collections, and we can
not see why the system Of removing
ashes above referred TO might not be
applied To the removal of garbage.
Uniform sheet iron cans with lbs ono
handles might be provided, and these
could be loaded on carts and taken
away without opening tlll beyond the
city limits. Then these cans could be
cleansed before returning Ca moss inn
portant mauerj.
We might go on at length but there
is just one matter that is becoming
vltany important. II is street cleaning.
The housewife who has her pavement
scrubbed early every morning has the
idea, only to get good results II must
be extended. not only to pavements
but TO the streets We believe the time
Is coming when all principal streets
win be cleaned, not by brooms, put by
hose. They need to be washed, and In
employing this method we shall avoid
IN large measure the spread Of con-
sumption.

MUNICIPAL HEALTH NEEDS.

Deaths that were once set down to a

No SO very long ago we were ignorant
OF the typhoid germ; we knew little
about the or!gia Of coosumntion and

something OF luxury, rather thar as
a necessity.

sayonet charaes as Myths.

From the Baltimore American.
The periodical fiction Of the wild
and death-deallng bayonet charge has
been revived by the recent battle along
the Yalu River The Russians are
given the credit, ON this occasion, Of
having driven their enemies in panic
from their position at the point Of the
bayonet. 1t is doubtful If bayonets
have been actually crossed by two
bodies Of opposing troops within a
hundred years. I'm the American Civil
War the mghtiest and bloodiest Of
modern' times, there is no authentic
record of such an event nor is there in
modern European wars. There are
legends Of bloody encounters with
bayonets just as there are legends Of
sen serpents, but any reliable person
who could prove that he took part In a
bayonet charge IN which one body Of
troops fought with another and actu-
ally killed people with that weapon
could easily get a salary en- a show that
would place him beyond the range o.

suits For Tvphoid Damaoe.

From the New York Times.
An association has been formed IN
Butler. Pa, to bring actions for dam
ages against the water company, the
damage having been caused by the
typhoid epidemic which lately ravaged

complaintants being that 1t was the re-
suit OF negligence on the part Of the
water company in falling to protect TIE
sources of its water supply and to
maintain the purity and potability Of
the water It distributed. This is ex-
tremely interesting. and as the pro-
cedure TO a new one the results OF
which can scarcely be forecast, Il win
be followed with attention by many
classes Of Onlookers.

ouR DIVORCE LIST.


Fifty suits FOR divorce az the May
.sfm Of court for this county are on
the calendar. Were marriage simply
matter Of religion we might have our
regrets. but leave it to the church TO
ind the remedies and appltthem.
But the prevalence Of this remedy for
marital difficulties Is a matter which
profoundly concerns organized society
and Affects the tree at the root. Doubt
less among those cases there are those
where intolerahle injuries have been
imposed and which seem to require the
authority Of the courts TO apply a rem
edy
But others who have entered into
marriage lightly seek separation viii
perfect nonchalance, and without re-
netcing on the gravity Of the matter
1t is dincult to frame laws which cai
cover all cases and this is peculiarly
true Of divorce laws Persons whosl
cases are covered by the statutes are
granted DEGREES. while often not beinf
as worthy Of consideration as many
who are barred.
We don't know where the remedy
lies. but we do know that the modern
tendency OF easy divorces Is demoral-
izing to society. It is taking from
marriage its sacred Impressions, and
by its influence Il Is creating a laxity
where We can IN afford TO be lax. And
when there are children the greatest
crime Is against them

The stars are with the voyager
Wherever he may sail;
The moon Is constant to her time,
The sun viii never fau:
But follow, follow round the world,
The green earth and the sea,
So love is with the lovers heart.
Wherever he may be.
Wherever he may be, the stars
May daily lose their light:
The moon viii veil her ia the shade,
The sun win set at night
The sun may set, bat constant love
viii shine when he's away;
So that dun night is never night.
Ana day is brighter day.
