what with the growth of female suf- frage and the general emancipation of women-as they call tive fear that the girls of this age could never be in duced, in spite of Dolly Warden petei- coats and Dame Burden bonnets, to yield the palm of superiority to man. Never again, perhaps, shall we men be allowed to arrogate to ourselves the title of "'lord and Uaster." But at least the new fashion will make the twentieth century girl look more demure and mild; that much will be gained, and seeming more gracious might grow into habit!

The Sultan of Morocco's downfall

The Sultan of Morocco's downfall is due to his adoption of modern Amer ican and European business methods, so it is said. From this we infer that the common people in Morocco still have some few rights, prerogatives, and valuables from which they are reluctant to part.

From the want columns Of the

Engineers Estimates and Actual


Engineers Estimates and Actual
Costs.
There Is a general popular opin-
ion that the actual cost of any con-
struction undertaken by munici-
pality will invariably exceed the en-
gineer's estimates, 20 to so per
cent being considered by many a
conservative allowance for such ex-
cess In the report of the city engi-
neer of New York (whose real title
Is "Chief Engineer of the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment") for
the years 1906 and 1907 is present
ed a table showing the estimated
snd actual costs of all sewers, grad
ing and paving done In the various
borouglfs' during the six previous
years. This shows that during this
eriod sewer construction In Man
haitian was estimated to cost $751;
$4,000 and actually cost $1,107,.
428.11, an excess Of 26.2 per cent.
The grading cost, s716,440.11 which
was lis per cent less than the esti-
mate. The excess in the cost OF sew
ers and grading shown by these fig
ures would seem to justify the opin'
ion above referred to. But the 9th
err four boroughs show an entirely
different state OF affairs. In Brook
lyn the sewers cost s3,030,543.22
which was So per cent less than the
estimates. The grading cost 81,
36S,221.30, which was 81 per cen
less than the estimate. The paving
cost $1,S2O,596.29, which was 1871
per cent less than the estimate. II
the Bronx sewers cost s1,773,76S.27
which was 0.2 per cent less than the
estimate, and the paving cost ST.,
6S0,473.36, which was 17.6 per cen
less than the estimate. In Queen
sewers cost s174,93S.70, which wa
4 per cent more than the estimate
grading cost s4S4,204.13, which wa
90 per cent less than the estimate
