CLEAN UP.

As the mild spring days increase in
number our citizens should see that
their premises are made clean and at
tractive. Don't wait for the annual
cleanup in May. Everybody gets busy
then as q matter of course, but begin
now and keep at it. The corporation
will remove all refuse. fIth or garbage
placed along the yards every day.
If you do not have one. get a strong
galvanized iron garbage can, with
lid, aud place therein all refuse. and on
Friday morning place 1t along the alley
so its contents can be hauled away.
Don make breeding places for flies
by throwing waste matter in obscure
corners. Don't disdgure your yards by
any unsightly objects that could be re-
moved. Remember the appearance Of
the town as a whole is judged by the
looks Of individual properties. Do
your share toward making a city beau
tiful. II you have a hedge, or trees or
shrubs that need pruning, get after
them at once. IL your garden was not
carefully raked over and all weeds and
trash burned as It should have been,

r Should ciergymen smoke? This ques-
ton has caused a collision between
vicar and a bishop. The vicar was Of
the same opinion as the preacher who
said to a young man who he saw puff
6ng a cigar: Young man, if you
smoke here you viii smoke forever
hereafter. The bishop smoked. and
the vicar was scandalized. This. il
must be pointed out happened in Eng
land. not in America. It is believed
that many distinguished American
preachers smoke fearlessly. Charles
Kingsley smoked; a church warden and
an old parson in Northampton chewed
as we'll as smoked. What, then, is the
solution Of the problem? Was the
bishop right il moking? Was the vicar
