There is one notable and most sue

Here other local bodies have built,
but in almost all cases the rents are

Local bylaws prevent buildings.
They permit the folk to live in un-
healthy cottages; they permit over
crowding and all sorts of insanitary
conditions, simply because they dare
not turn out the inhabitants. At the
same time they enforce the letter OF
absurd regulations upon anyone de-
string to build, and SO discourage en-
terprise. Beyond all question the
rural birth rate is immensely dimin-
ished by the progressive want of cot
tages. A gardener with children finds
his services absolutely ~unsaleable,

cardinal virtue.
The only solution of the great na-
tional question is the cheap cottage.

Berkeley, Cal.-Ordinary housefies

pox. plague. trachoma, s~epticaemia,
Asiatic cholera, sleeping sickness and
other diseases. This they do mostly
by planting germs wherever they PIT
their feet.
Thousands of deaths among in
fants, Mr.. Herms holds, will be avert

There is a Russian dance known as
the "Lukinskoff;" Spain is repre-

conference. presented some dancing
statistics. In dancing for tive min
utes to three-four time 1900 steps are
taken, equal to fifty-two yards. Dur
ing an evenings dancing the polka
would be equivalent to a walk from
the bank to the marble arch; a pas de
Guatre would bring the dancer to
Hyde Park corner; a waltz to Picca-
dilly circus; a joyous two-step through
the Green park to Buckingham pal
ace; finishing up with a galop and a
double Boston, which would bring the
dancer to Hammersmith.
Men who do not dance will be sur.

be exchanged with ones partner.
