S REIVED
Pei t; r-Jef in some form.anticip
ated fcs the result of the committee's I
visit to Harrieburg, the residents of
the tipper end cf town are doing what
they v:aa to relieve the highly nusan
it&ry conditions caused by the old
nana).
3a the first plac* t' e fish killed by !
the i. ids couta'ued iu the sewage from j
the hospital have nearly all l<een drag- j
ged out of the caual and bnried. A lot i
of boys took the initiative in this ■
tnfiiter and worked <juite diligently j
for a day or so. At present few dead J
fish are to be seen. The cooler weath- j
er. too. has improved conditions some-|
what.
Residents at that part of town state j
that the members of council are in !
error in stating that the culvert pipes
are anywhere clogged. Such a condi- ,
tion did exist, hot persons affected by j
the bad odors on the canal themselves !
took the initiative and opened the pipe, i
hoping that thereby the sewage laden
water would drain down through the
channel.
The movement of the water, how
ever, is prevented by a dense growth
of " cat tails" near Railroad street.
The citizens are much disappointed
that coun-il did not order a trench j
opened through this section of the can- j
hi when the matter was brought op at
the last repular meeting ot that body. ,
They insist that relief in some mea- j
Bare wonld be immediately derived j
from opening a drain, as a *;reat deal j
of the water would be carried off with I
a oorrespouding diminution of the ef
fluvium and the general bad effects'
that attend the noisome and stagnant!
deposit that at present fills the anal •
nearly halt fall.

WHERE SPRINKLING
• S NOT PRACTICED
<•' w people who live in these parts
of town where street sprinkling Is one
of the luxuries indulged iu daily can
form auy adequate idea of what an in- !
tolerable nuisance the dust is in other
parts of the borough where the streets j
are not regularly and systematically j
sprinkled.
At such places there is positively no j
relief from the dust. It lies several j
inches deep in the streets. The side
v/alks are even powdered with dust
and reveal the footprints of pedes- 1
triane. Not only are the law:;'- aud
fences coated with dust but also the
doors aud window frames of the;
houses. Tito difficulty of keeping the
interior of dwellings clean and pres
entable tinder such conditions can j
easily lis imagined.
It avu'li but little if onn. cr even
half a dozen lesldeuts on a square, '
Hprinkle in front of their dwellings. |
Dust knows no boundaries and so-long
ai a spot remains anywhere about that I
is not jegularly sprinkled there will ;
be dust in the air and all will share I
in it alike.

Winnipeg and probably for others to
which quick shipments are possible.
Greenhouses are to be erected before i
next winter, so that vegetables and '<
flowers may lie raised the year round.
Bulbs and plants will be propagated
for the beautifieation of the grounds !

The Pyrophore.
A living light, called the pyrophore,
makes illumination cheap and conven
ient in Brazil. The pyrophore is a
monster firefly, an inch and a half
iong. With one ic is possible to read
fine print, and three will room, j
The Brazilian peasant, trav
erses by night the perilous forest j
pnths of ills country, fastens to each
shoe a pyrophore. Thus illuminated, j
he has no difficulty in avoiding poison
ous snakes, pitfalls and wild beasts. I
The Brazilian coquett - fastens in her
hair or her corsago a pyrophore in- >
cased in white tulle. The effect is as j
of a great iuininous pearl or opal.
When a pyrophore's light goes out it
is not necessary to fill him up with
oil, to drop a coin in him or to throw i
him away, but a moment's ducking in \
cold water suffices. Thereafter his

PAID THE DEBT.
The Captain Settled the Account Be
fore His Vessel Sailed.
In Burnaby's "Travels In America
In 17D9," a book quite popular during
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury, the following incident is related:
The captain of a British man-of-war
cruising off the Massachusetts coast
left liis wife in Boston. On one of his
visits to port she came down to the
wharf to meet him. and she was salut
ed as a true and loving sailor's wife
deserved. This violation of law was
at once reported, and the captain was
brought before the magistrate and
sentenced to be publicly whipped.
There was no getting out of it, and
the captain submitted quite gracefully.
Just before the departure of his ship
he gave an elaborate entertainment, to
which all of the magistrates were in
vited. After the festivities were over
and every one had shaken hands with
the captain and was going over the
side the magistrates were seized by
the arm and stripped to the waist.
Each one was led to the gangway,
where a vigorous boatswain gave him
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back
and then hustled him over into a boat
amid the cheers of the whole ship's
company.
Hindoo Dancing.
Hindoo dancing bears no similarity
to that of the European. Stage acting
in the shape of comedies and tragedies
is hardly to be found among the Hin
doos. The chief characteristic of their
dancing is their dress, which very
often is horrible and grotesque to look
nt. Their dances cousist in wrestling,
jumping and moving the shoulders,
head, hands, logs, as if agitated by vio
lent convulsions, to the sound of mu
sical Instruments,
The IliudoQ taste for music is so
marked tliat there is not a t single gath
ering, however small, which has not
some musicians at its head. The in
struments on which they play are for
the most part clarinets and trumpets;
they have also cymbals and several
kinds of small drums. The sounds
produced by these instruments are far
from pleasing and may even appear
hideous to European ears.
The matuva. or conductor, is the most
remarkable of all the musicians, in
beating time lie taps with his lingers
on a narrow drum. As lie beats, his
shoulders, head, arms, thighs and, in
fact, all the parts of his body perform
successive movements, and slmultane
ously he utters inarticulate cries, thu>
animating th<* musicians both by voice
and gesture.
Cornmeal as Food.
Cornmea! is otie •>! the most health
ful, nourishing foods and the lies'
bone, muscle and tissue builder of
all the breadstulTs. Our forefathers
fought their wars and tanied the wil
derness upon a corn bread diet, and
they were a hardy, heady set, many of
whose examples we might profitably
follow. Of course cornmeal to be per
feet should lie ground upon stones
turned by water power. The steam
ground roller mill product of today
has some advantages in the way of
economy of production, but it kills
the delicacy of the grist, so 'tis said
by some.—Pallas News.
A Charitable World.
"Your money must he a burden to
you at times."
"Yes," answered Mr. Pustin Stax,
"but you'd be surprised to see how
many I find who are willing to bear
other people's burdens."—Washington
