annual visitation of the cold:
Don't sit in a draughty car"
Don't sleep in hot rooms"
Don't avoid the fresh air."
Don't stuff yourself at meal time
Overeating reduces your resistance"

MANUFACTURED THRILLS

The newspapers have been full
lately of the story of the terrible
experience of the hunter and
trapper who was caught in his own
bear trap near Embuda, N. NJ. and
was devoured by wild animals.
The La Jara papers have branded
the story as fake, having received
information that the man supposed
to be dead is alive and well.
This story is on par with the
recently published report of the
school teacher at Bonanza mining
camp who perished (almost) in
terrible snow storm in the noun
tains while on her way to visit her
sweetheart. II he sympathy of
thousands of readers went out to
the poor girl whose sutferings in
the blizzard were so wildly por-
trayed in the newspapers, until it
was found that the thrilling tale
was manufactured and without a
vestige of truth.

The Slave Sale Picture.
From the New York Times.

FROM tue new 1OTk l11neS
The rejection by the art committee of
the Brooklyn Institute of the gift of a
painting representing the sale Of negro
slaves In this country will naturally
arouse great deal of heated argument.
IL Is the duty Of an art committee, how
ever. to act in such a matter according
10 its Judgment. There is no hint from
the committee that the picture was re-
jected because it was not considered a
valuable and worthy work of art We
cannot see. then. that the artist has any
just cause for complaint Nobody will
deny that incidents of the era of slavery
in the south are fit subjects for historical
painting. There might be ample justifica-
ton, however, for refusing to hang this
picture in public institution where Ii
might remain in view for many years.
The statement that the art committee
il tends 10 keep alive memories that had
better be forgotten is credible. and when
an art committee feels that way about a
picture ii is obviously the committees
duty to reject 1t.
1t would be well IL the rising genera
ton could have fewer reminders of the
sectional rancors which led to the civil
war. If the long since reunited north and
south could be permitted to cement their
friendship and strengthen their financial
and commercial relations without the con-
tinual appealing Of specters of those "oid.
unhappy far-ofT days" But, nevert he
less Mr.. Roseland's painting, If 1t is ar
tistically good. will survive. and 1t Is not
needful TO the painters fame that IL
should be preserved In a public institu-
ton.

PAVING IN LONDON VARIED.
Sheet Asphalt Now Leads in the
CITY Proper.

In 1903. as result Of a conference of
the metropolitan borough councils Of Lon
don. there was formed a committee
known as the metropolitan paving COM
mittee which has annually since that time
reported upon the subject of the pave
ments of the city of London. Its tenth
annual report has recently been made
public and contains number of inter-
esting conclusions based upon investiga-
tons of conditions in the various bor-
oughs OF the city. From this report the
Municipal Journal learns that most Of
the pavement reported as laid last year
was OF creosoted wood blocks, although
considerable amounts of asphalt tar
macadam and tar-sprayed roads were
laid. One Of the most notable develop
ments was the tendency to increase the
thickness OF the concrete foundations. In
most of the boroughs these are being
made nine inches, and there is more than
one instance Of twe.ve-inch foundation.
The reason given for this increase in
thickness is the growth Of motor bus
traffic. A study Of the detailed reports
would indicate that England has about as
many different kinds 0f-or least different
names for-bituminous pavements as are
found In this country, among these being
''lithofalt." ''lithomac" and other combi-
nations Of both English and Latin words
for stone. asphalt and tar. There, as in

to extend any street or section of a
street. Now however, a paragraph in the
District appropriation bill which became
law in March last has transferred this
authority to the District Commissioners,
so that those officials can now direct the
opening, the extension or the widening
of any street, avenue, road or highway.
Conforms With Highway Law.
1t is to be DONE of course. in con-
formity to the highway law, and as here
tofore condemnation proceedings are to
be without expense to the public either
for the land or for costs, as such charges
are to be assessed as benefits. The pow
ers of the Commissioners have also been
brOadened so that they can now acquire
for the public the open places which are
formed by the intersection of transverse
avenues with the right-angled streets.
These triangular spaces make awkward
building cites, as they all front SO that
on whichever side the buildings are made
to front the rear extends to the street on
the other side.
1t Is quite evident that Ii was not the
purpose Of the author of the plan Of the
city that such spaces so numerous and
SO unsuited for building sites were in
tended for that purpose. AT any rate, II
is now the intention to acquire them for
the public and keep them as spots OF
beauty and also of public recreation.

New World Universities.
From the London Chronicle.

Fr0m the London IhronlcIe.
One does not associate Lat.n-Amerfca
with an eager thirst for universities. yet
President Wilson's bureau of education
has just discovered that long before the
British colonists founded any center OF
culture. Mexico had made a beginning In
1851. Lima, Santo Domingo and Bogota
followed swiftly. In all these new world
universities-New England inciuded-the-
ology at first was the main study. The
professors were priests. who taught civil
and canon law. II was not until the nine
teenth century opened that the modern
university came into existence, and then
we had Buenos Aires. Trujullo and Are
uuippa Brazil was the last country 20
hold out against the university idea.
