MEANS MUCH TO THE CITY
Municipal Abattoirs Have Proved Of
Value in Europe, and Would
Be Here.

Municipal abattoirs have become
the rule in many European cities. but
are practically unknown in America.
The only one in operation here is at
Paris, Tex, and the early results seem
to Justify the adoption of the plan by
other cities.
Some cities have adopted municipal
inspection of slaughter houses. but as
a rule, it amounts to very little. With
conditions varying so widely in the
different private establishments. there
is always trouble for the city and in
the end the inspection generally be-
comes only matter of form.
AS a business proposition the mu-
nicipal abattoir is not attractive, but
from a sanitary standpoint 1t should
appeal strongly to everyone who con-
sumes meat The condition of private
slaughter houses, where butchers kill
their own meat, is frequently unspeak-
able.
The only way to improve matters is
for each city and town to erect a SAM
tary slaughter house and reduction
plant and require that all animals be
killed there. The charges can be made
so low as to take care of cost of oper-
alton and maintenance and yet not be
burdensome upon anyone.-Farr2 and

PRAeUE'S WISE BUILDING LAW
AS Result the Metropolis of Bohe-
mia Shows Remarkable Fire
Record.

In a report on the fire department
of Prague, Joseph l. Britain. consul.
says that there has not been a life
lost in consequence of a fire in the
last 10 years in that Bohemian city Of
over half million population. and thai
the loss of property from fires in thu
last three years has been less than
S20,300 annually.
The buildings are rarely over five
stories high and the height cannot ex
coed twice the width of the street on
which a building fronts. Nearly ev-
cry building is constructed of large
bricks laid in cement. the bricks be-
ing manufactured just outside the city
limits. The outside walls are covered
with coating of cement, and the or
namentation is frequently made of the
same material. although many of the
houses are ornamented with cut stone
fnishings.
The joists and the space between
them are usually covered with terra
Gotta and concrete, with no exposed
woodwork except the window and door
frames. The Railways are nearly all
made of concrete and the stairs of
granite, built self supporting, with
practically no exposed woodwork. The
attics usually have exposed wooden
floors and rafters. buc no one is per
mitted to sleep in an attic. The kitch-
en- floors are also built of concrete,
with tiled wainscOting. No exposed
woodwork is permitted in chimneys or
close to furnaces. All the old houses
and hotel1 are heated by tile stoves.
but many of the new ones, including
the hotels, have central heating plants
installed like those in American build
ings.
While the ordinary iaborer receives
small wages. yet there is probably not
another city in Europe where there
arc so few poorly constructed houses
as in Prague.

School Gardens.

Although no official report has been
given out concerning school gardening
during the past summer, those most
osely in touch with this phase of ed
vocational training say that the season
has been the most successful in the
history of the work in this city, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Over 1900
gardens have been conducted at the
homes of the pupils. besides eight
large school plots and twelve kinder
gartens. The quality of the truck
raised has been of a superior order,
it is said it has brought higher prices
for those who sold it because of that
excellence. 1t is gratifying to note
that this feature of education is re-
ceiving the earnest support of both
pupil and teacher, and it is to be
hoped that the plans being considered
for enlarging its scope next year may
prove successful.

vERAcITY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
. Skeptic Must Be Con-
WINGED

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and proper sense Of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
US today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them,
as furnished US in the pages Of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and it is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
identity, so exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very arti-
cles of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
dOings and surroundings OF today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs Of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour. Be
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible of localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, etc,
of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
WINGED of its yeracity; to the believer
it comes as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory confederation or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them SO long ago.-Columbian
Magazine.

Cure for Scratches.

Scratches are caused by exposure to
cold and wet. local irritation or low
condition, all of which should be
avoided if possible. In simple cases
apply cloths wet with weak solution
of sugar of lead and in winter cover
to keep out cold. When cracks have
appeared, apply a similar lotion with
the addition of a few drops of carbolic
acid. In case of discharge or pus-
tules, make lotion of chloride of zinc
instead of the lead; finely powdered
charcoal may be sprinkled over the
cloths

An Ace un His Sleeve.

Munich has once more become the
scene of painful incident through
