A STEP TOWARD CLEANER
sTHEETS.

The action OF the common council
in voting an appropriation for the
purchase of a new stree; sweeper Is
a step toward giving the city the
cleaner streets for which Mayor Jones
has been appealing. The board OF
aldermen should concur in the reso'
luton making this appropriation
promptly. and, II necessary. stili an
other sweeper ought TO be purchas ed
without delay. Our streets can be
kept in respectable condition without
any great outlay of money. and such
a result will be worth every cent
spent in securing it, That the streets
are no; kept In proper shape is obvi-
GUS to everybody who has eyes. That
the city can sweep Its streets proper
", as other cities do, is equally as
certain.
II is to be hoped that, besides pro
viding the means for keeping the
thoroughfares presentable, the council
will give serious consideration to the
matter of having sweeping done by
night instead of by day. The health
officer. DIR. Jeffery, has officially given
warning that sweeping by day is a
menace to the public health. And.
unless the eouncilmen regard the Off
GERS opinion as utterly worthless, in
which event they should fle charges
of incompetency against him. they can
give no excuse for failure to at least
consider his suggestion and warning

Now and then the newspapers print
the account of the sale of some "old
master" for a startlingly large sum
of money. II is difficult to give a
precise cash value to a work OF art,
and the same picture will bring wide

BABY'S SCALP cRUsTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella NJ.

Tender Words OF Advice From the

Hardly a Compliment.

public speakers often say the opposite
of what they mean to convey, and
when Henry Irving gave reading in
the Ulster hall, in 1875" says Bran
Stoker, in Personal "reminiscences
of Henry Irving" "one speaker made
as pretty an Irish bull as could be
found, though the bull is generally sup
posed to belong to other provinces
than the hard-headed Ulster. In des-
canting on the many virtues of the
guest of the evening he mentioned the
excellence of his moral nature and
rectitude of his private life in these
terms: "Mr Irving, sir, is a gentle
man what leads a life of unbroken
blemish.'"

A Garden of Friends.

One OF the prettiest corners of a
certain girls garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old fashioned
flowers that bloom there have thus a
double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump
of pinks was set in place by her dear
est school friend, and now that this
friend is living abroad, she likes to
think that every breath of perfume
brings her kindly thought of her old
chum. A garden of friendship is a
pretty fancy and one that gives last
ing pleasure.
