WORLD A F.NE EXAMPLE.
First-Class Sanitary Arrangements—Chea
jas, Cheap Car Fares, Pure Water
Baths and Accommodation for the Sic! --A City Where the Welfare of the Peo- ple is Considered.
The City of Glasgov: in 1891 had a pop ulation of 565,700 within a compactly in- habited area of 6,ll11,acres. In the sam:
yeud 6,750 acres of the adjoining sub- urbs were annexed by act of Parlia-
ment, increasing the population by al- most 100,000 souls. To-day the popula- tion is calculated zt 800,000, living on 15,000 acres. With the exception of Liverpool it is the n ost compactly pop- ulatel city in Britein. The census of 1881 “¢ewed the population of the city of London to be 51 to the acre, wiile that of Glasgow wa: 84 to the acre, and by the end of. the iiecade had become 92. It was this omiaous congestion of population that sti red the municipal authorities into act vity. It was felt that vigilance must -e the price of san- itary safety. A rigic. system of inspec- tion of tenements and watchfulness over the purity of foods was instituted. The prevalence of typhus fever in 1864 induced the authorities to establish a pavilion for the reception of poor pa- tients. This answer:d the purpose of an isolation hespital so well that !ater
it was determined ti extend the sys- tem. A privaie estate of thirty acres, on the banks of the Clyde, was pur-
chased. Here a series of pavilions were erected, which give the place the ap- pearance of a beautiful village, with its trees and lawns, its play-grounds and beautiful flower gardens, with its sep- arate and home-like private apart- ments instead of conimon dormitories for the 80 nurses, and with convales- cing rooms and every convenience at- tached to each sick ward—where wou.u have cost much less money to build a big repulsive pest-house and inelose it with a griin wall, “a place for sick paupers to dice in.”
One of the most distinctive of the municipal institutions of Glasgow are the sanitary wash-houses. They were started on a small scale for the cleans- ing of articles from houses where cases of infectious disease occur. In 1883 a special establishment was erected at a cost of $50,000, and a second row is now in course of erection at a cost of $75,000. In 1892 700,000 pieces were thus dis.n- fected and cleansed. The street sweep- ings, ete., are sold, some of them being sent by rail as far as seventy miles from the city. One of the earliest and greatest enterprises undertaken by the corporation was the driving of twenty- nine new streets through the old, crowded tenement parts of the city, and the widening of twenty-five of the existing alleys. On the site of some of the buildings which were demolished model tenements were erected by the corporation. Lodging houses for the floating poor population were also erected, where a night’s accommoda- tion with clean sheets on a woven wire mattress can be had for from 7 to 9 cents, ‘These yield a return of from 4 to 5 per cent. net on the ost of con- struction. The latest development in this field of municipal activity Is a family home, which will serve for wid- ows and widowers with small children. Provision will be made for the care of the children while the bread winner goes out to work. The next venture was in bath houses, upon which $600,000 was spent. They have a patronage of 450,000 a year. They are provided with swimming instructors, ete., and perhaps yield as much satisfaction as any part of the machinery provided for the pub- lic good by the municipality.
Other liberally patronized institu- tions are the public wash-houses. For 4 cents an hour a woman is allowed the use of a stall containing an !m- proved steam boiling arrangement and fixed tubs with hot and cold water faucets. Centrifugai driers, hot-air chambers and roller mangles enable the work to be done so expeditiously that at the end of an hour the mother may return to her tenement with her task accomplished. Street lighting be- ing a municipal affair, is ample and profuse, the cost of lighting common stairs being greater than that for light- ing the city streets, The Owners of houses pay a share of the expense of stair lighting, but the city meets a fair proportion of it on the principle that each light is as good as a policeman. Glasgow's biggest enterprise, after the deepening of the Clyde, was the bring- ing of its civic water supply from Loch Katrine, 34 miles distant, in the hills. The work was done at an expenditure of $14,000,000. By it a daily supply equal to a population of 1,500,000 or 2,000,000 can be obtained. The cost of water to consumers is about 1 cent, per 2,00 gal- lons. Two per cent, is put away every year as a sinking fund.
The success attendant upon the wa- ter-works project predisposed the peo- ple to a favorable consideration of the municipalization of similar services, such as the gas supply. The city bought out the private owners in 1869 and has ever since managed this ser- vice to the unqualified satisfaction of the citizens When the works were ta- ken over the price of gas to the con- sumer was $1.14 per thousand feet. It has been 60 cents for some years now, amd the quality has improved, al- though the cost of gas-making coal has greatly increased. The department has nevertheless been able to construct new oe owning now four immense es- tablishments,to pay its interest charges and running expenses, write off large sums every year for depreciation of works, pipes and meters, and accumu- late a sinking fund easily capable of paying off capital indebtedness as it matures. As a consequnece of the cheap- ness of the illuminant, it has been af- firmed that no other city in the world, at least outside of Scotiand, can at all compare with Glasgow in the un-ver- sality of the use of gas in the homes of the working classes. ‘The latest move is the promotion of plans for the ex- tensive use of gas Yor cooking. See- (ng that electricity is the illuminant of to-day, the corporat tion has also ob- tained the power to undertake electric lighting.
So successful had been the municipal management of all these matters that it was natural when the corporation and the tramway company failed to agree as to the renewal of the com- pany’s lease that there should be an agitation for the assummtion of this service also by the city. This was done in 3894, and though the experiment was pndertaken under many disadvantages

A pleasing agitation will shortly fill the wings of the ladies touching new costumes. Nothing better can be obtained than a Cravenette. Ina variety of shades, it makes up as a smart costume or wrap, or cloak, if need be, while it is at the same time absolutely impervious to rain or dust. It is raimproof, and yet as porous as any other dress material, so that it is free from the cbjections of the ‘rubber goods.

therefore, decided to divide the routes
into half mile stages and charge a fare of a cent for each half mile. This has proved highly satisfactory, and the
corporation will be able to at least mee, all its engagements in respect to the tramways on the basis of these fares. It would take a great deal of space to tell of all the interests that this live old-world city has included in the sphere of municipal management. It comprises markets, slaughter houses, parks, play grounds and open spaces, libraries, harbor improvements and management. The great Scotch metrop- olis is certainly an object lesson to the municipalities of the world.—Globe.
Rain Gambling in Calcutta.
Come down again to where old Chooni Lall himself sits cross-legged—cheery, genial and wrinkled. He is always glad to see you. He* never mentions a bet. You ask the price, unable in the clann- our of tongues to hear and understand, He murmurs six and a half. Come, tet us bet, and see how ict is done. Here goes for ten rupees. The broker holds it up—more shouting, more laughing, more fingers held up. He tells you he
has sold it at 7; the price itsrising. Sp- posing that it rains between now and 8 o'clock at night; we shaj! win 6 ru-
pees for every rupee of our stake, our own rupee making up seven, the quoted price. Chooni Lall will take an anna in every rupee for brokerage. He is already worth many lakhs, for fortunes are won and lost here every day in the monsoon.
The very sugarcane soler at the decor, who doles out stick; of sugarcane fot 2 pice, is worth thousands of rupecs. You can bet either way, for or against the rain, for to-day or to-morrow or against any fixed day, if you can find a taker. You can take your choice of the two periods of hours, from 6 a.m, till noon, or from 6 a.m. till 9 p.m. Of course, to a man who bets that rain will fall in the first period far longer odds are offered. It rarely rains, even in the monsoon between those hours, and I have seen 400 to 1 offered.
Rich men deposit large sums with Chooni Lall—he is also a banker—and lay odds on the ran falling with’n a certain month. For the month in which the monsoon usually breaks, they ly 5 and 6 te 1 on the rain; and it would undoubtedly be a very good bet. Brok- ers themselves bet but rarely—their brokerage pays them: but, of course, there comes often a c rtainty of win- ning by easy hedging. ‘The odds are not hard to foretell. Every bet ts soli in the open market, and the price re- corded. The place is really a sort of rain exchange, and, as in the monsevon
weather- it is constantly full, there is never any difficulty in betung either way, supposing you be willing to tak
the current price —Chamber’s Journal.

We should icarn to distinguish tween foes and friends in the garden, and, if necessary, the children should be taught early the difference between insects and birds that do harm to plants and those that do good.

be-
n ap-
pearance, and poisonous ones very dan- gerous, but the ordinary ground snakes will not hurt one, and they will keep
down mice, bugs and insec else can. As a rule the are in the greatest numbers in our gardens, and hence toads, lizards and snakes that eat all that come near them destroy more of the foes than enemies. I should never think of killing one of these creatures in the garden, but weuld be more inclined. to protect them, and even import them into the garden, I have seen a small gray lizard clean off the worms from a field of cabbages as fast as they couid multiply. Attract-
ts as nothing
noxious insects
ed by the fat feast the lizard returned every day, and he would make trips up and down the rows of cabbages until
not a worm could be found.
A few toads in hot beds and cold- frames are of inestimable value. They will keep down all insects that begin to show themselves, finding them under leaves and stalks that hide them from an ordinary observer. In Paris toads are regularly caught and sold to gar- deners for insect hunting in their green- houses. And yet many boys and older people destroy them ruthlessly as soon as they discover them in the garden. The toads wiil eat cutworms by the wholesale if they can find them, and I have seen them devour potato bugs in great numbers when deprived ef more palatable food.
But we have also friends among in- sects, and it is well to bear in mind that they can do much good for us The so-called lace-wing insects are nearly all friendly to us. They live on other insects, and do not eat any of the plant. If a few can be turned loose in a greenhouse they will destroy all in- sects other than those of their own class. * In this class are included the ant-lions, aphis lions and dragon flies. For every one of these we kill we must expect a dozen «nemies to spring into active existence that must be destroyed by spraying.
The tiger-beetles and the lady beeties, as well as the long lerged ground beet- les, are ali insect eaters, and they go
around the garden ip search of their prey continually. They will attack large grubs and other insects, as well
as the very small plant lice that hide behind the leaves. These beetles must be distinguished from others that de- stroy the plants. The large robber- flies are also great friends in the gar- den, and they Swill attack all kinds of grubs and insects to devour. They are paticularly eager to destroy aphis, and in this respect their presence should be greatly encouraged.—Germantown Tele- graph.
HOW TO TELL A BAD EGG,
An Infallible French Method Which Re- quires Only a Lighted Candle.
When one calls for a fresh egg in a Parisian eating house the chances are that one wili be property served. Not that there are no bad eggs in Paris as wel as esewhere, but there are certain men empoyed at the Central Markets, or Halles, whose only duty is to sift the bad or doubtful eggs from the good ones. In one of the cellars of the Halles one sees a man passing his hands rap- idly before his eyes and in front of a lighted candle. Around him are baskets containing thousands of eggs. His duty is to separate the bad cnes from the good, and he is remunerated at the rate of 75 centimes, or 15 cents a thou- sand eggs.
He accomplishes his work with extra- erdinary dexterity. With one hand he takes three or four eggs and brings them to the exact position he wishes between his eye and the lighted candle as if by magic. For an egg to be good the part that appears black must be competely detached from the part that appears white. In other words, the yolk and the albumen must, through their transparency of the shell, be seen to be quite separate. The white looks as if it radiates about the central nucleus, and this nucleus is simply the embry- on of a chicken, which, being denser, floats im the liquid which nourishes it, When there is confusion between the transparent and obscure part the egg is deubtful.
To sort eggs ovt quickly requires a long experience. The selection of win- ter provisions is an especially delicate task. In addition io reporting on the freshness of eggs, these operators in the Central Markets also examine the size of eggs. ‘Those that pass through a certain sized ring are put on one side as too small, The employe separates eggs merely by touching them.

The President as a Varget.
One of the most disgraceful features in our modern style of journalism ig that the President of the United States, whose very station should command re- spect for him, is made a constant tar- get for disrepect, writes Edward W.

He is placed there by the ex- pressed suffrage of the people, and when he is so placed and is the occupant of the high office, he has a right to the re- apect of the people of the country over which he presides. But this is denied the President. The decent respect which we mete out to ordinary men ig refused him. We excuse this by saying that he was not our choice, or that he holds the position by accident. No man elected to the office of President of the United States can bean accident. He is placed there because of his fitness for that office. And although we may not agree always that he is as able as some other man, it is only pure justi-e that we give him the benefit of the doubt,
