DIsPosING OF RUBBISH.

For the time being Cairo is not
troubled with the disposition OF her
garbage which under the contract
with Mr. Koehler is being hauled be
yona the city limits; nor should there
be any trouble for some years to
come in disposing Of dry rubbish. es-
pecially ashes, with so much low
Ground in and about the city Other
cities are not so fortunate in this
respect. In Chicago the problem Is
proposed to be solved In novel man
ner. Within three years 1t is esti'
mated, every clay hole and aban-
aoned quarry in the city will be
filed. Suitable dumping places are
becoming scarce. Soon all will have
been utilized Several plans for the
disposition of the city's refuse after
n ho,es have been filled have been
discussed. Among them are: The
burning of all rubbish and waste mat
er: the filing In OF excavations OF
low places outside of the city limits,
construction of an island in Lake
Michigan, Building an island in the
lake is an idea formulated by Roberi
NJ. Cochrane, acting superintendent
of streets. He declares that it could
be done easily Riker's Island in the
East river, opposite 13Sth street,
New York was built of the city's re-
fuse. An addition OF l73 acres is now
being made and when it is completed
ii is estimated that the made island"
will be worth two million dollars. Mr..
Cochrane THINKS such an island
should be built in the lake and trans
formed into park. In the outlying
districts of Chicago ashes gathered in
the alleys during the winter are used
the construction Of new streets.
Filling of the lowlands in the Calu
net Lake district may be considered
when all clay holes have been uti-
lized.

1t was during the late Spanish-Ameri-
can War. A wealthy merchant. who had
left his business TO offer his services TO
his country, was pacing up and down on
picket duty one dark night. Suddenly he
detected sounds OF approaching footsteps,
and quickly bringing his gun into position,
commanded in a sonorous voice:
Give the cOuntersign!"
The person challenged proved TO be an
enlisted dry-goods clerk formerly en-
ployed by the merchant before the war
broke out. AS their eyes met a smile
played around the corners Of the clerks
mouth and he answered IN a low whisper:
