means of transport. This cheap form
of transportation is godsend to the
Dutch people. By means of the slow
but capacious canal boats their garden
and field products are carried to the
markets of the cities, and If there ever
were necessity for the regulation of
railway rates in that country, canal
boat transportation would solve the
problem.

The action Of the retiring district
attorney, J. W. 3. Smith, in noIIeng
the case Of the people VS.. Henry
Dickey should excite the criticism
of every individual who desires to
see the law enforced. Here was an
Instance, if ever there was one, where
the perpetrator Of a wrong should
have been punished, and to prevent
future acts Of the kind he COM
mittcd from darkening the court rec
ords of the county. The evidence
against Dickey was most eonvictins
and had the case come to trial there
isn't the slightest doubt of his con-
viction. We unhesitatinsIy condemn
the work of Mr.. Smith as the closing
act of an administration that had
been passably satisfactory, and with
equal willingness we extend to Mr..
Withrow, the deputy district attorney,
comm endation for his efforts toward
having justice meted out to the
guilty. Mr.. Smith will find it a most
difficult task to right himself with
the people Of Gilpin county whom
he has SO grossly wronged.

The Anti-Tuberculcsis Fight.

Educating the people to combat the
spread OF tuberculosis is movement
which it would be superfluous to
praise. Miniature model tenements
and graphic reproductions of the op-
posite sort will do very little positive
good, however, unless the people who
see them think to some purpose
While in our cities we have a system
of taxation which penalizes with q
heavy tax the builder of model tene-
ment and rewards with a low tax the
owner of filthy rookery. model tene-
ments will continue to be few and
filthy rookeries will continue to be
many. Education is n great force in
the fight against consumption, and
some day people will learn that there
are more deadly wholesale ways of
spreading and perpetuating tubercu.
losis than by expectorating in o car
or ferryboat.-Puck.

Most persons think that liberal
doses of oil are all that is necessary.
Too much Cling is injurious and oil
where there has not been careful dust
ing is worse than none at all.
1t is not enough to give surface
dusting; the cracks and crovices must
be kept clean. This cannot be done
with cloth. Instead use a coarse silk
thread. to draw back and forth
through cracks to get out fine dirt that
cannot otherwise be removed.
The work of cleaning a machine Is
lessened If small bellows is kept in
one of the drawers and the fine lint.
threads and ravelings are blown out of
the crevices. This should be done
every day that the machine is in use.
Care should also be taken that pins
and needles do not slip into the shut
tie part of the machine. as often they
clog It and the cause cannot be discov-
cred for some time.
1t is mistake to use a cheap oil as
1t cakes and makes the parts sticky.
Never let the machine stand uncov-
cred wheu not in use; and guard care
fully from dampness.
Rubbing the running strap occasion
ally with little vaseline or oil will
make the leather wear longer.
