W.L.S. STREET-CLEANING IN BER- LIN. ¢ o ¥ow a City ¥s Kept Clean at Moderate Cont—A Service in Which Every Man irom Top to Bottom Is Made to o ¥is Duty and Barn Xiis Pay—Some Leskons that Chicugo May Learn from the Germans, G 4 New York Evening Post. The street-cleaning service of no’ city offers more that is Instructive and suggestive to tho fubabitants of New York than does that of Ber- lin. The two cities have nearly the same popu- latfon (New York 1,220,000 and Berlin 1,150,000), and the area of street surfuce to be cleaned does not dilfer widely. The natural ditficuitios: of keeplug the streets clean must be - avout equal in both citics. The climate of New York is sc- vercand the snowfull somewhat heavier; but, on the other band, New York is situated on an Island which is lone and narrow, with n_consid- erable slope In’ both directions toward switt- Howinx streams. A good part of Berlin is situ- ated on islands paturul or artiticial, but the flow of the surroundfng water is slow and unable to earry awuy a large amount of dirt. In New York the sweepings bave to be carried farther, but the greater part of the wayls made by water. In Berlinthe street refuse bas to Lo caried much farther. On the whole, we should eny that the natural obstacles: to clennliness were rather greater iu Berliu than in New York, 80 thut a cowparison between the two cities would not be unfuir toward tho lntter. Anather reason why we would do well tostudy tho streei-cleaning problem in Berlin is that the one branch of Government in which tne Ger- mans excel all otner nntions is administration, and the probiem s chietly unadministrative one. Here us elsewhere the administrative ability of the Germuns munifests itself, for the streets of Berfiu ure kept geuerally cleun'and neat at o moderate cost In the carly bistory of Derlin it was the func- tion of the Poiice Department to see that the streets were kept clean. The strect-crossings, public markets and _squares, and the streets in tront of public buildings w swept und the refuse removed at public cost. ilouse-owners were ablized to clenu the sidewulks und half the streets In front of thelr houses. -This nrrange- ment continued 1o be the source of 50 wuch dis- sutistaction uud annoyance Lo ull concerned that it was tinally forever abotished in 1551, when it was determined to huve all the streets cleaned nt public expense.

RicaArD 1. LLY. RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDISM. The First French Protestant Settlers in Amerlea. Tu n poper contributed to the Autiquasy for March Mr. Noel Sainsbury touches on an iater- esting episode of French and Colonial Eistory, wheu he proposes to describe the *First settle- ment of Freneh Protestants in Americn.” He tells us, however, little of its antecedentsr sur- rouadings, and his readers might find it ditficult to understand how such a scheme can Li con- templated or why it so persistently failes. We are told, truly enough £o far, that the design owed its origin tothe exile of Soubise, Nike de Fontenoy, who finally took refuge in England after tho #ll success of his expedition, ailed by English sulps under the Duke of Buckingham, for the relief of Ln Rochelle. The Enzliih ficet had, indeed, not long before been engwyed, in altiance with the Dutch, in aiding Louls XIIL against his disaffected Protestant subjects un- der the command of doubise. Mr. Sainsbury, by tho way, speaks ns though the Dutch wery; fight- inir on the side of Soubise. But an estiange- ment hud since grown up between the Lrench and English Court, partly on religivus ang part- ly on political ground, and thus Buckiizham was disposed to listen to tho solicitations of Soubise, who was thienlodged at Churiton fouse, 10 be near the Court ut Greenwich, ana xpared no pains In exaggerating all the ostile ucts of Richelieu. He succceded in gaining Eugi sistance for relieviny the siege of Rochellc. The result proved disastrous to the fortujics of Soubise himself and of his party, and uiany of his foliowers are sald to have gone over'to the Spuniards, others to the West Indies, whit:some suiled for America. To this day Protestuatism, Dy the confession of its leading men, bas never been a success In Frauce, 'The firstatténpt to trunsplunt it to the New World, however well in- tended, did not prove wuck more fortuncye. “Their first settlement fu Amcries,” e, Sainsbury sayy, “took place {u conncetic with an intended plantution 0!
