probable that the hurried person, how ever, did not take time to stop and inquire who had brought about this de- sirable state of affairs, whether ind1- yidual enterprise or awakened mun1c- ipal authorities were responsible for the reform.
 The work has been done and tho glory belongs to those two organiza- tions, the Merchants club and the Commercial club. Last spring they started joint campaign to take away at least in small but much journeyed- over portion the city's reproach for being the uncleanest of the big towns And what they have accomplished has, as we have said, impressed even the most careless. =.
 At banquet held recently by the two clubs, past and future work was discussed, and felicitations made on re- suits accomplished. One of the mem-' bers thus reviewed the experiment un- dertaken by the clubs: We have demonstrated that the downtown streets can be kept clean, thus min, imizing the dust on windy days and the mud in rainy weather. We under took this work for one year in order to make a practical test of the mat ter, and we can now go before the city officials and the people with every detail perfected" This speaker told how the money had been raised, that the financial side had been solved iE a satisfactory manner.
 In this crusade for cleanliness, every day three and one-half miles of street and one and one-half miles of alley has been swept. and swept by hand, much more thorough method than when machines are used. The district is bounded by La Sale, Van Buren, and Madison streets, and the lake, and in the principal shopping thorough fare, State street, the cleaning having extended as far north as the river.
 At the banquet, stereopticon pictures were shown of Chicago before and after" and if proof was needed the photographs gave it.
 All honor to the Merchants club and the Commercial club. ,... <;

constables in collecting debts have got to stop in this city. We will never have justice for the poor and unpro- tected until the fee system is abol- ished. A big constable simply scares a person into paying a debt, whether 1t is lawful claim or not. By back ing up a wagon in front of house and demanding payment for small debt the unfortunate debtor is coerced into settling the claim rather than sec his household furniture thrown out on the sidewalk and moved away in the o0nstable's van.''
 It is easily possible for Chicago constable to get rich in few yeats on the fat fees he |. is able to collect. The Justice shops" are as rule in league with the constable, and pro- nounce his charges legitimate
 To show to. what extent the vic- tims suffer at the hands of the con- stables, the Chronicle recently gave an illustration of the way small debts in- crease in, size when taken in hand by these men who make a business ot guarding the interests of a certain class of creditors. The Chronicle says: "Woe betide the poor family that re- ceives visit from a constable ,levying on a judgment writ It may be that the debt was only few dollars or was not just debt at all. But the court costs will be $5.1O. Then will come the fee for execution, not less than $1.50. Next will be exacted the con- stables charge for custodian services "A for every day Or fraction of day. When all the fees are defrayed the original small debt or claim will have increased to colossal dimensions-from $2 to not less than SIP, and possibly $20." Violence as well as extortion has part in the constables methods; the weaker, the more defenseless ths victim, the "braver" looms the con- stable.

STAMPS OF ENGLISH
 UNIVERSITIES

Probably to very few persons out side the ranks of the stamp collectors is it known that certain of the colleges at the two great Universities of Ok ford and Cambridge for a period oI used postage stamps of their own crea- ton to prepay intercollege and other local correspondence.
 In issuing postage stamps for the prelavmenl nf their own corresDOnd- ence the colleges undoubtedly took their stand upon certain privileges and immunities in the matter of letters and correspondence" q am quoting the Rev Hayman Cummings which the two universities had enjoyed from time immemOrial,' and which were confirmed from time to time by acts of parliament. Tt is certain" adds Mir Hayman Cummings. that for q hull dred years, perhaps for several cell- turies past, the considerable core spCndence of the several thousand members of the Oxford University was carried. as might well be supposed. by the messengers of the various colleges. according to a recognized system, and to this the introduction of the imperial postage stamps in 1S40 made no diff ference
 The stamps of course, were only an outward and visible token of the time honored system of letter carrying fl the university cities. The stamps have gone. but the system, with certain notifications. remains in force to this day. It may even be claimed that tile stamps have not entirely vanished, for in the case of one college. as the Rev Hayman Cummings Informs us.

AWKWARD THINGS TO DO.

Good humor was restored to school room in one of the public schools of the city the other day by an impatient speech of the teacher.
 The young woman who had charge of the class had become exasperated to the last degree by the mischievous tricks of some of the boys. She was at the point where mysteries were io be safely predicted if some relief dhi not come.
 She looked up from her book and saw one of the largest girls in the class crouched in an unyainly attitude over her desk. Her feet were stretch etl over into the aisle. and worst of all. she was chewing gum. It was the last straw The teacher sprang to her feet and snapped out:
 Maria. sit UT. Take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in" The shout of laughter from the pupils cleared the atmosphere. and the rest of the session was one of the pleasant est of the term.-Philadelphi Press
