It HOOPB PROTECT THE STREETS AND KEEP THEN CLEAN Very Much to Derived Along ThU Lino by Individ ual Efforts. While we are making progress In the art of keeping the municipal highways clean, more especially through the bet ter organteatlon of the city cleaners, there Is much still to be desired from Individual efforts, says the Cleveland Plala Dealer. Litter Is carelessly scat tered, fruit Is dropped here and there, too many evidence of Indifference 'to the common good are dally shown. Nevertheless there has been a great ?hange for the better In this respect aud It has been brought about by ap peals to tbe consideration of tbe in dividual rather tbnn to stringent legis lation. In Loudon not long ago a pedestrian slipped on a banana skin and was heav ily thrown on the pavement and in fall ing fractured bis skull and died while being removed to the hospital. Be cauHe of this tragedy tbe London coun ty council bas euueted an ordinance that provides for the punishment of persona who are apprehended for throwing banana skins on tbe I-ondon pavements. In each cuse a fine of 40 shillings will be Imposed, and nothing Is left to the discretion of tbe magis trate. If tbe police catch tbe offender he will be fined 40 shillings, and In London that's a severe punishment for a minor offense. Of course special legislation of this sort Isn't usual In our own land, but tbe Incident goes to show that tbe sub ject of protecting the streets for this is one form of protection Is being very seriously considered by other mu nicipalities. HOUSES OF CINDERS. w Liverpool Makee Ilea el Ite Garbage Remains. Liverpool has put other places In Its debt by showing how the problem of disposing of city or town rubbish may be made to solve itself, says tbe Wash ington Star. In Its simplest terms the solution Is, "Burn tbe rubbish; build houses of the cinders.' Concrete Is already considerably used In the United States In building and bids fair to perform a useful part In architecture by husbanding wood and sparing tbe forests. In Liverpool the cinders left from the burning of rub bish at tbe municipal "destructors" are crushed and molded with cement Into great wall slabs, each with Its door and window openings molded In place and even an Interior Iron framework for putting the whole together. Tbe slabs, some of tbem weighing eleven tons, are handled by derricks. When set up tbe Iron frames are bolted together and the Joinings closed with cement An entire block of buildings has thus been erected upon the site of a dilapi dated quarter which was destroyed aa a menaure of necessity. ' Tbe new bouses are described as neat, healthful and very cheap and are expected to yield to tbe city E per cent upon Its In vestment. American cities and towns throw away every year elements of great value which European cities use on their sewage farms. If ashes of burn ed "waste" may be used In architec ture, what o limitless field opens to the economizing of such debris! ' to Heanllrr a Country Hoad. The Kane County Federation of Wo men's Clubs of Illinois has voted to undertake the work of beautifying thirty miles of country roud, from Montgomery to Carpentersvllle. This road leads along the west bank of the Vox river, and from it is viewed some of the most beautiful scenery In the federation, located at Hampshire, El gin, St. Charles, Geneva. Ilntovla and Aurora. All of those towns, except tbe . first mentioned, are located on Pox river. The entlro distance between ' Montgomery, which is tbe lower sec tion of Aurora, and Carpentersvllle bas been divided Into six sections, and each club will be given a section of the work, which means that each club must look after five miles of roadway. Each club has pledged Itself to raise $300 to carry on the work, so that there will be $1,800 gathered In to be put to good use. A Street denning Idea. The street cleaning department of IK-rlln, In Germany, has adopted a method of keeping paper scraps from the streets that Is au Improvement worthy of emulation by any town. On every third lamp post has been fixed an ornamental Iron waste paper basket Into which pedestrians are Instructed to drop scraps, says the New Tork Globe. I'ullke the big refuse cans that occupy street corners in American cities, the official waste paper baskets of lterllu are never lu the way of tbe hurrying pedestrian. The Berlin scavengers have been furnished with a new portable receptacle for rubbish. Attached to tho wheeled bin Is a scoop luto which the street cleaner first sweeps the refuse. The Berlin officials are constantly working out such details as these in Improving the street clean ing system of tho German capital. riucr For Gramblera.

"These are tbe duys when chapped bands and lips are in evidence, and I suppose most people use pure glycerin for a remedy," said a chemist to a rep resentative of the St Louis Globe-Democrat recently. "It is a mistake to pre sume that glycerin is a cure for such a condition as this. Quite on the con trary, It is a dlstint't aggravant "One of tbe best remedies for chaps I know of Is quite simple, and any one could compound It In her own home. Take ten grains of trngacanth and place this In three ounces of moder ately warm, not hot water. It must then be allowed to stand for several hours, when one ounce of glycerin should be added. "If It is desired to give the prepara tion a pleasant perfume, this may be obtained by adding a small quantity of oil of roses at tbe same time. Tbe whole compound should then be mixed thoroughly either by shaking It up well or stirring with a spoon, after which It Is ready for use. "This remedy la soothing, pleasant and an almost Infallible cure after two or three applications. Aa a rule, un less tbe cracks In the akin are very much Inflamed, an application of tbe compound Just before retiring at night and another In tbe morning will gener ally have the desired result of healing them. , "It is also a One preventive, and few will be troubled with chapped hands who rub It on the skin In the morning after washing." How to Bare Horse Front Slipping;. If one Is caught in wet or frosty weather with a smooth shod horse on asphalt he may be got safely home by wrapping the horse's feet with a few turns of wire, says the Utlca (N. T.) Observer. Lay tbe middle of the wire across the toe between shop and coro net, pass both ends . under the shoe, cross then, then between shoe and heels, then under foot, cross again on a different spot and over toe. Repeat this for five or six times and your ani mal la fairly well rough shod and will get along with ease for a long dis tance.

How to Treat an Ingrrowlna; Mall. To cure an ingrowing toe nail take some lint or old linen and tear It to shreds, moisten this with carbolic oil and stuff as mucb of it as possible un der the nail toward tbe sore, also on the top of tbe nail under the flesh. Change the dressing dully, and In a few days the nail will be lifted out of tbe sore. Then encourage tbe nail to grow up in the corner and cut tbe nail straight across the top. When tbe nail has grown a good length, cut a piece out of the center. This will cause it to leave the flesh at the sides and the discom fort will be passed. How to Freshen Ostrich Tlpe. Ostrich tips can be freshened by hold ing them in tbe steam from a boiling kettle for a few minutes. This fresh ens them, absorbs the dust and re stores the color.

The American Civic association gives out the following edifying report from one of Its branches in a Pennsylvania mining town: Monessen, Pa., la a new steel town seven years old, built In the side of steep Pennsylvania hills. Tbe popu lation Is about 10,000, but the majori ty are foreigners of all nanong and of the working class. Consequently the town so rapidly built from necessity and for profit and In a difficult location was anything but attractive. Last February fourteen ladles met one afternoon with a view of forming a social club. Tbe Holly club was tbe result and, as the bylaws indicate, It was" formed "for the' purpose of pro moting good cheer, rendering charity to the needy, furthering a movement to ward tbe establishment of 6 local hos pital, advancing civic betterments, promoting friendly discussions and tbe study of current topics and generally to Improve tbe social welfare of the community." In less than two months the member Ihlp was forty, and tbe club was oblig ed to meet In a ball, the rent of which waa generously donated by one of the citizens. The first work in civics was offering prizes for the Improvement of the lawns. It was late when the plan was fully made and put before the public, but I am glad to say tbe whole town took to the idea, and the results were more than satisfactory. Two of the prizes were won by foreigners. We got the hearty co-operation of tbe superin tendent of schools, who had a very suc cessful "school garden" in a vacant lot adjoining one of the school buildings; the support of the newspapers, tbe ministers, some of whom gave earnest talks from the pulpit and the town au thorities. By the consent and help of tbe bur gess, council and board of health, June 2 was declared a "general cleaning day," when rubbish of all kinds, ex cept garbage, would be carted away free of cost to the people If they would clean their yards and alleys and place the rubbish In a convenient place for the wagons to collect More than twenty-five wagon loads were carted away mostly tin cans. Tbe Improve ment was marked, I assure you. The second move was for cleaner streets and having an ordinance pass ed prohibiting spitting on the side walks and public places, with a fine of $10. Tbe prize money was generously donated by a few citizens, but there la a good charity fund and a hospital fund of about $400, which have been raised by entertainments of high or der. YOUNG TREES IN TOWNS. Comree of Heal Eetnte Operators That le Worthy of Emulation. It Is noted in Brooklyn that a few suburban real estate operators are setting trees on property which is on tbe market for building purposes or on which the builders themselves intend to erect dwellings. This is so obvious ly a wise policy that It Is a wonder only "a few" are following it, says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Having purchased a tract of lam', c:i divided It Into streets and built: lots, the wise owner will at once phi. trees In suitable places and start the: growing even before a cellar Is dug The property Is thug made more at tractive and salable, for nothing can be much more dreary than a residence district without trees. Aa a result of rapid growth in' popu lation and building, the tendency Is to deprive city streets of shade which they have long enjoyed. The sacrifice of a noble oak or maple or elm Is al ways a cause of mourning, but the slaughter goes on in the name of "im provement." The only compensation Is to plant and foster trees on new streets and lots. Those who perform this task dili gently will reap a measure of reward for themselves and earn tbe thanks of future generations. nillboard Reform. The women members of the Civic league of Newport in their efforts to pre serve the natural beauties of the city have formed themselves Into a board of censors, with the suppression of ob jectionable billboard posters as their particular object, says a Newport dis patch. An advertisement which re cently covered nearly every board In the city was considered by the women to be Improiw, and they demanded that the billposter cover tbe boards with "paper" which was not objection able. The billposter declined to do so until he was assured of the support of the league, the majority of the mem bers of which are wealthy. He obtain ed the necessary promise, and an agree ment has lieeu entered Into whereby a committee of the league will hereafter pass on nil advertising liternture before It Is posted on the billboards through out the city. flair tht World Wondtn how the other half lives.

Ward King load meeting March 81 at Erie, Kan., baa already extended to every town ship m Neosho county, says the Thames City Times. Taxes for road purposes la all the townships were made payable la cash this year, and the township boards are appropriating tbe funds for the building and operation of apUt log drags. Fifteen drags are now at work In Erie township under tbe direction of the trustee, and," In addition to this number, many farmers have built drags for private use. Tbe street com missioner of the city baa been using several spilt log drags on tbe unpaved streets of the town, and these streets are now quite aa smooth and hard as those that were paved. Farmers are enthusiastic over tbe results obtained on tbe country roads, and 'plans are being made for dragging every mile of dirt road In the county this spring. Philippine Road. Reports from the Philippines Inform us that tbe conversion of Impassable trails Into good highways Is proceed ing rapidly, and the work is being done by native convicta In charge jf white officers, says Motor News. The lack of ordinarily decent roads has been one of the most serious drawbacks to devel opment of our Island possessions in that it was Impossible to transport products from the Interior at anywhere near a figure which left a fair profit to those who handled tbe stuff at the coast Present information leads us to believe that the farsighted policy now being followed Is to be continued, with the result perhaps, that tbe Philippines will possess a network of splendid tlgbwayg long before such results are reached in tbe United States. The Enormon Mod Tex. In the course of a speech Congress man John H. Bankbead of Alabama declared that "tbe amount of money It takes to haul a ton five miles on our dirt roods will pay the freight for 250 miles on a railroad or 500 miles on a river and 1,000 miles on tbe lakes. These figures prove conclusively the enormous tax levied by tbe bad roads on tbe farmers and bow much of their legitimate profit Is consumed In haul ing from tbe farms to the railroad sta tions, river landing and to the towns and cities. Not only have tbe farmers suffered great loss on account of poor roads, bnt the people In the towns and dries who depend upon tbem for that! supplies have suffered also." How to Clean Coffeepot. To clean the coffeepot fill it with wa ter, put hi a pinch of borax and a piece of hard soap and set on the stove, let ting It boU for half an hour.
