When Sir Richard Burton visited, in disguise, me exclusive cuy 01 . 1 ? r Harar, and was carried before the Amir, he observed, among other things, that though the Amir expec torated with royal freedom, he was not provided with a spittoon, but spat upon the robes ot his attendant chamberlains. It is matter of very general and familiar remark that the average American spits quite as treeiy and with almost as much autocratic carelessness as the Ainir of Harar. If he does not intentionally spit on the clothes of his neighbors, he spits with magnificent indifference to his neigh bors' reasonable desire to keep clear of his expectorations. He spits wher ever he happens to be on the pave ment, on the floors of public buildings, in halls, entries, ana eievtors, ana especially in all public corKeyances. There is a movement atoot to amend this very objectionable habit, and especially to put a stop to the abominable practice of .spitting in street cars. In New York the Board of Health has forbidden it, and its notices are posted in the surface cars. The Board 8 mandate is not as yet effectual, but the public has begun to be familiar with it, and through it many citizens have for the first time had it suggested to them that mis cellaneous spitting is not nice. Con ductors of street cars are bound to enforce the spitting ordinance if their nttnntinn is called to a violation ot it. Commissioner Roosevelt says that the nohce will helo them, and that pre- sentlv a number of Dolicemen will be HotailoH enr.sslv to see that the or- dinance is obeyed. It is important that public opinion should sustain the nnliVo In this nndirtalf inc.
