'"sound" Criticism.

The editor of the Merrytown Mail
received a complimentary copy of a
musical composition from friend who
desired q favorable criticism of his
work. This is what appeared in the
next issue:
"As the editor of this journal doesn't
know demi-semiquaver from a dia-
pason or a bass clef from a thigh c.
he will not therefore be expected to
give an extended notice of this pro-
duction. We can say, however, that
the type used in printing the compost
ton is, clear and plain. and that the
paper appears to be of the best quality
Of rag. The design on the front page
is most artistic. and the words are as
tender as real spring chicken and as
poetic as the song of the meadow lark
on May morning. The melody is
sound and all right. The harmony,
too appears to be strictly o. X, with
no patent, defects or noticeable .blem-
fishes. The tonality is clear and Ire.
sonant. and rests on harmonic rela-
tons and melodic elements. This is
abont all the praise in conllection with
said composition we are able to evolve
from our cabbage-flavored tempera-
ment."

STREET CAR CAUSE OF DUST
Scientific Investigation Has Proved
This Fact Seemingly Beyond
All Possibility Of Dispute.

Where does the dust come from?
This question. which careful house
keepers ask themselves every day, has
been scientifically answered By inves-
tigators of Harvard university.
They made measurements of the
amount of dust in the air at 20 feet
above the street in different places.
At the junction of streets, where
the least dust was accumulated. the
amount In the air would equal a daily
depositlof 95s pounds to the acre. In
another section as much as so pounds
per acre would be the daily deposit.
II was found that the air In paved
streets was, on the whole, somewhat
dustier than that Of unpaved streets,
but the bad unpaved street was worse
than the worst of the paved streets,
so far as the smount of dust III the
air was considered. by. % per cent.
The effect of street car traffic was
also considered by these Investigators.
1t was estimated that streets with car
lines have one-third more dust than
streets without them, and the best of
such streets are generally worse than
the worst of the free streets. The ex
ira amount Of dust in the air of
streets having street car lines consist
ed largely of fine particles Of iron;

Chairman ]. T.. Andrews OF the
water committee from the city coun-

fact that representative of the
court had appeared before the coun-
ell and asked for reduction In the
water rate and same had been re-
ferred to the water committee for
recommendation. II was expected
that the court would at least wait
until tho committee had made re-
port.
In conversation with Mr.. Andrews
the Light representative learned
that the water committee at con-
ference held following last meeting
of the city council had determined

the members of the committee are
just little bit up In the air with
regard TO future action. II seems
to be the general opinion OF the
members of the council that the low
est possible rate should be allowed
the court for water used at the
court house.
There Is no disputing the fact
that public toilets nj the court
house are little short of nuisance,
but some sort must or should be
maintained according to the general
opinion. During court many hundred
people throng tho court house. for
instance 154 special veniremen have
been summoned for Tomorrow and
there will probably be as many wit
