DRAINING DAME CITIES.

Improving the sanitary conditions
of swampy places by the Introduction
of drainage canals is a method being
tried by sanitary officers in all parts
of the world. One of the most import
ant projects of this kind has lately
been completed in Rio de. Janeiro,
Brazil, where a municipal improve
ment crusade has been doing effective
work in the east end.
This locality was swampy and un-
healthy, although an important resi-
dent section. a splendid canal has
been built, which serves the purpose
OF draining the ground through which
it passes, and also acts as main out
let for the rain waters which at GER
tain times collect upon adjacent hills
and food some sections Of the city.
This canal is wide. and lined with
concrete On either side it is bor-
.dered by the beautiful royal palms
native to that country. For nearly
two miles it runs through the center
of a beautiful avenue wide enough
Ito have driveways upon each side AS
the canal has consid erafble current,
there is no danger Of the wafer be-
coming stagnant and unWi1olesome.
/ a similar canal is being laid in the
older section Of New Orleans, where
the lack OF drainage has been proved
productive Of malaria and other dis
eases. .Unlined canals have beenLusad
there for sometime, but the concrete
facing has been found necessary to
facilitate cleaning and sanitation.

Heed the People.

~
Everyone says there must be gates
at the dangerous railroad crossings
In this city There Is no longer any
room for doubt as to public senti-
ment in this respect and the railroad
company ought to know by this time
that this sentiment is not to be al
layed. Nor is 1t to be disregarded.
The Telegram hardly believes that
the railroad company feels that 1t
can so freely advocate the safety
first plan in everything but the In
stalIation Of gates here and main
Stain It's self respect. It must prac-
tice what it breaches, If it expects to
stay IN the good graces Of Clarksburg.
The crossing menace here certainly
demands application Of the safety
first principle.
1t is not the duty Of the city or
the county to maintain gates at dan
gerous railroad crossings. but 1T is
their duty to see that the railroad
company maintain such gates.
How much M ore pleasant and graf
flying 1t would be to chronicle the
news that the railroad company had
voluntarily installed gates than to
tell the people that the authorities
had compelled the railroad company
to install them.
If the railroad company would re-
tain the peoples warmest friendship.
it will proceed at once to install
gates and thus Safeguard the lives
OF the Inhabitants Of the city and

"a Lies Philosophy.

John B orroughs, the naturalist.
was 78 the other day, and when ask
ed IL he had any message for the
American people. answered that the
waysto be happy was to keep smiling
under all difficulties. He added:
Keep cheerful and mind your
own business. may say that have
followed that rule myself not unsuc-
cassfully, and In these trying days
when there is so much foolish talk
and shasty, violent action. it .aight be
worth the while Of others just to give
It Ia trial.
There is complete philosophy of
life in that short sentence: Keep
cheerful and mind your own bust
ness, z declares the Philadelphia En-
fquirer. Every man, woman and
child mi ght take it for a motto and
by putting it into practice make
themselves and the world happier.
There is altogether too much gloom
In the world. Trials and troubles
are bound to come in most OF us, but
there is no good reason why they
should not be borne with resignation
The difficulty is that we are apt to
pity ourselves too much, and self
pity makes us a nuisance to ourselves
and to those about us. Cheerfulness.
on the other hand, Is contagious. and
one bright, CHEEKY person. like the
sunshine of Heaven, can transform

BOMBAY.

The most striking thing about the
ancient city Of Bombay is the color
full and varied dress Of the people Of
many races that throng its streets.
To the average American traveller,
the crowd on q Bombay thorough
fare looks like about a hundred and
fifty musical comedy casts out Of a
Job.
One of the Oldest peoples of Bonn
bay is the parsees, who first made
the city commercially great, but Of
whom only about 40 600 remain. The
Parsee men usually wear European
clothes. with the execution Of their
hats. which are a sort OF visorless
derby with hard roll around the
bottom. and look very much like
small J, inverted soup kettles. These
hats are said to have been worn by
the first Parsees who came to India
as a pledge to the Hindus that they
would observe the laws of the coun-
try and not take part in politics, and
although that was centuries ago. the
Parsees have manfully stuck to their
unbecoming headgear.
The Parsee women. however, do
not seem to have accepted any such
Limitations upon their powers OF self
adornment, for they wear beautiful
c1inging.robes of soft. rich aterial:
and gaily-colored mantil las over their
heads and shoulders. The Parsee
school girl fares even worse than her
father in the matter of dress, how
ever, being cond emned by custom to
wear a Russian louise and white cot
ton pantalets, without any skirt.

manently and irreparably incomplete
