I told him th a t I supposed he would then clap tho debtor into the C harles S treet jail. “ T h a t’s ju st w hat I w ill do if I ever catch him there, yon b e t.” A-iul then the m ad actor explained how easy it w as to get even w ith peupla of th a t to rt in tho Hub. No m atter w hat the debt, ucr w here or how it was contracted, all one has to do is to enter a com plaint and th a t settles it. If ono w ho owes is averse to notoriety, lie 'll h a rd ly take the poor d ebtor's oath, w hich releases him for a certain num ber of years, but does not wipe out his obligations, but w ill linger in tho bastile u n til ho can interest his friends or realize on his col lateral and settle. I know several New Yorkers who have run against creditors in tho bean burg and have suffered. Some juke about th eir incarceration and the ques tions p n t to them during the process of adm inistering the poor d ebtor’s oath, b u t m ost a ll agree th a t tho Boston law is a puritanical provision th a t should be m aterially am ended. Bostonians who aro dodging process set vers are a g ita t ing a change th a t w ill perm it them to pay up on the installm en t plan instead of being forced to cash in tho full am onnt or rem ain a guest of th e Charles street hotel. If such a law w as on the New Turk sta tu te hooks and w as in forced hero—w ell, the Tombs or some other prison would be holding hundreds w ho now look as if they owned tho town instead of m erely ow ing tho townspeople. —N ew York L etter in P ittsb u rg Dis patch. Poisoning 1 j 7 Tlnncit Food. Some light is throw n by The Lancet upon the m ysterious cases of poisoning by tin m d food w hich from tim e t are reported. T hey are believed to le due to neglect of the caution against eating tinned foods th at have been ex posed to tig! a ir fur sotno tim o a fter be in g opened. T he exact m anner in w hich poisonons substances, technically known as “ ptomaine«, ” are generated so rap id ly is n et known w ith certainty, bnt the fact th a t they aro produced in sufficient quan tity to canto very grave sym ptom s of poisoning have been Iro n g h t out in a m u ltitu d e of instances. In one w ell know n case the first half cf the contents of a tin of lobster w as consum ed w ith no ill effect, but th e rest a few days a ft erw ard p ro v 1 extrem ely poisonous. It is suggested th a t as a safeguard m an u facturers m ig h t label the tins w ith some such' notice as “ The contents of th is tin are perfectly whoicsome w hen oaten fresh from tho tin and afford good food, but tho public is advised not 1 1 expose the conteuts far any length of tim e to the injurious influences of the atm osphere. ” The L ancet w rite r even goes so far as to snggest th a t some snob w arning m ight be insisted on by the le g isla tu re —London News.

Are Good sidew alks add m uch to th a t a p pearance of neatness w hich every w ell regulated tow n strives to a tta in , and a little care in th e ir construction is only- necessary to achieve th is desirable aim. Sidew alks should be us carefully regu lated in th eir construction as street pavem euts. Tho idea of p erm itting a b u t ters to decide upon the pavem ents fur the roadw ays in front of their premises should not be entertained for an instant. But they appear to be given en tire free dom of choice in relation to sidewalks. If there is any regulation in th is respect it is a regulation th at does not regulate very effectively. W hile it m ight be w ell tu perm it an ab u tte r to lay the very best sidew alk th at could bo bad if be so de sired, some approach to uniform ity of standard should be insisted upon, w ith in tho extent of a block a t least, and tho character of tho work should never be allow ed to fall below a certain m in i mum. Tito olem euts essential to the con struction of a good sidew alk are su f ficiently known to m ake any fallin g be low the standard inexcusable. Evenness and com parative smoothness, combined w ith sufficient d urability, are the great considerations. It is im portant th a t the people of a com m unity should be saved as m uch fa tigue in w alking as possiblo. They have so m uch more strength left for their work, and th e ir productive capacity is correspondingly enhanced. The chief 'a cto r in th is m atter is tho quality of tho footway A person can probably walk tw ice as far over an even sidew alk as over a rough ono w ith the sam e ex penditure of m uscular and nervous e n ergy. Whoever lias given thought to tho m atter has perceived th at, w hile on a surface of varying level, a considerable degree of a tte n tio n has to be given to the process of w alking in order to a d ju st the action of the m uscles to the spot where tho feet are to full, thus causing a continuously uneven f^ait, on an even surface this a ttention is not necessary. In the latter instance w alk ing becomes autom atic in character, w ith a corresponding economy in Itliys- ioal energy “ W hat tim e is it? ” I asked tho ja n i tor of a down town offico building. The old fellow reached into his vest pocket, pulled c u t a battered silver w atl'b, looked at it inten tly , and then taking a pencil from another pocket jo t ted som ething down on a Inc of paper. N ext ho reached into another pooket and pulled out a second w atch, tho com pan ion of the first, looked at it and again jo: ted som ething down on a b it c f : apt r.
