Oliver Wendell Holmes tells of an apoc-
ryphal assembling of all the people on the
earth in one place once upon a time. The
purpose was to send up one united shout
50 loud that it would be heard by the in
habitants Of neighboring planets, who
would thus be apprised of the fact that the
earth is inhabited. But when they were
assembled everybody locke to somebody
else to give the signal, and there was no
sound at all. This is the general condition
of people when opportunities offer. what
is ev~erybody's business is nobody's bust
ness says an old and veracious proverb,
which Il eXemplified at the present day IN
the condition of the building market. Many
people are slow to grasp the opportunity,
and though home building is very active
in Omaha, there are many others who are
hesitating before casting the die and let

of this kind and their value in the midst
of a lawn or garden which is laid out
artistically is very great and is rapidly com
ing to be known among Omaha home build
ers. The best people, as well as the great
middle class in European cities plan and
lay out their gardens with the greatest
care and the greatest artistic merit. The
embellishing power of a handsome lawn
artistically conceived and laid out is too
well known to need exposition.

Mosquitoes Causing Tea Blight.

A report from Consul-Genera w. II.
Michael OF Calcutta, says TINT the
blight OF the tea plant, caused by the
bite Of the mosquito. is causing good
deal of alarm among the tea planters
Of India. The situation has become
much worse, and, In response 10 an
urgent appeal from the planters, the
scientific and chronological officers of
the tea association will do whatever
is possible to find relief from the pest
and the effect OF the blight caused by
il. II has long been known that the
mosquito bite was productive of tea
blight, but il was not regarded seri-
ously. The condition, however, has
become so widespread and bad that
something must be done. Spraying
the bushes with any liquid or oil is
not practicable, because of the effect
on the flavor of the tea leaves, and 10
cut away the affected parts of the
bush gives only temporary relief, as
the persistent attacks of the mosquito
serve TO perpetuate the blight. The
only permanent relief seems 10 lie in
the destruction of the mosquito. How
this can be done is the question:

Washington and Paris Streets.

acquired perhaps a higher reputation
for street paving than any others
Paris. France. and Washington, ID.
C.-have recently been criticised as
failing 10 maintain this reputation.
Representatives of a Paris daily, in
order TO call attention 10 the poor
condition OF the pavements, recently
placed three ducks in puddles formed
by rain in the pavement OF the Place
de rOpera. the holes being deep
enough TO permit the ducks 10 swim
In them. This place is the centre OF
the pleasure district of the city,
where one would imagine especial at
tention would be paid to the appear
ance OF the streets.
Washington, ID. c.. was for years
referred 10 as having n greater
length OF first-class asphalt pave
ments than any other city. In
length she was some years ago sur
passed, and Mr.. MacVicar. secretary

was that Congress had withheld in

since then had time to catch up with
their repair work. There is possibly
a significance in the word ''in-
creased" which apparently indicates
that asphalt pavements cost more to
maintain than they did some years
ago.
The experience OF these two cities
may serve TO console certain others
which are having trouble keeping
their pavements in repair. AS mat

experienced in a very large number
OF cities in this country. Some OF
