The Ancient Office of Coroner

From the New York World.
 It has been supposed, and legal hstori- ans have told us, that the office of coro- ner was originally instituted bv King Alfred with that of the sheriff both being designed to keep the peace when the earls gave up the wardships of the country. The legal historians are wrong, according to Dr. F. J. Waldo of the British Medico-I.egal Society, who has traced the history of the coroner and his ancient office as far back as the year 1l94.
 In early days the coroner had wider and mora general Jurisdiction than he now erJoys. Coroners were wont to "hod their views not only upon deaths

An Antidote Handy

All fAHtluotc SioHuJ From the New York Times.
 The woman was the author or COOK book that had been published at her re- quest with wide margins and occasional blank pages for notes and additional re- ceipes. Often she had expressed wish to see an old copy of the book and find out to what use the blank spaces had been put. One day in a secondhand book store her husband unearthed an old volume. Noticing that 1t had been annotated freely he bought it. After a day or two he said:
 .How about the notes in that cook hook? Were they interesting?"
 No" she said curtly; they didn t amount to anything.
 When he got chance he looked through the book himself Every note the hook contained was remedy for dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

London Pride

From the London Times.
 Now that the London museum is founded and organized, there is every hope that 1t will soon contain A rich
 store of fine historical objects, and that 1t will by degrees prove really useful in developing what may be called true London patriotism. People say that
 London is too overwhelmingly big for the existence of any such feeling; and 1t is true in a sense tIiat the London

 The police have executed a number of
 warrants at the residences of labor agi- tators. The systematic character of this new policy of repression is shown by the fact that the minister of marine has re- fused to grant leave of absence to a workman in the state backyard at Toulon
 who had been selected to represent the local union at forthcoming labor con gress in Berlin. Another act which is welcomed as opportune is the transfer of
 Gustave Herve, the anti-militsrist from
 the Sante prison here to a prison in the
 provinces.
 The proposals for the readjustment of the functions of the commander in chief in time of war have taken definite shape. The chief feature of the scheme consists in a proposal to invest the officer who is to be appointed commander-in-chief of the northeastern group of armies with titular control of the general staff of the army, while the chief of the general staff will retain the practical direction of this de- pertinent. It is believed \that If this scheme is adopted General Pau, who Is a veteran of 1870, former commander of 1 the Twentieth Army Corps. and one Of the most distinguished members of the army council, will be offered the supreme command.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
WATER SPRINKLING.

The question of water sprinkling
on the paved streets, and especially
In the business part of the city, is
becoming serious one for all con-
cerned. The situation is clearly ex-
planned In a news article.
We believe that confusion In this
matter has come about mostly be-
cause there has been no concerted
effort on the part Of the business
houses to provide for a permanent
and equitable plan for street Shrink
ling.
Heretofore, the matter has been
looked after mostly by the city coun-
Gil, or partly by the council, partly
by the owner of the sprinkler and
partly by those receiving the service.
Really, the matter is hardly one for
the city council. 1t is mostly one for
the business men of the business dis
trict, the same as the matter of hav-
ing awnings, or special lights.
We believe the business men who
are interested should get together and
agree on some good plan for this
sprinkling, agree on the charge which
should be made for the work and on
some systematic plan for tie collec-
ton of the cost of the service. The
Commercial Club might well spend
some. of its surplus energy on this
thing.
Water sprinkling at the present
rates is very expensive for the bus
mess houses, but it seems that SO fan
nothing but water sprinkling has beer
found to be be good for the brick
streets, except flushing by night from
the city water-works, as they do II
the large cities. It is therefore a ques
ton of getting this water sprinklins
done at the lowest rate and done 81
