Cheese shows little change, being but a fraction lower in price. Poultry remains at the prices last quoted, and the market is somewhat firmer, due more to the advance of the season than to anything else. Game, vegetables, fruits and meats remain prac- lically as they were last week.

Port Darwin, a small, but important town in South Australia, was almost entireiy wiped out by one of those fearful hurri- canes which periodically strike the coast cf Australia, destroying property and very often life. Luckily, in this case, no lives were lost, but from the meager reports which have been received in Sydney previous to the sailing of the steamer Warrimo, which has just arrived, the loss of property must have been very large. The wind was accom- panied by a heavy rain, which ruined the furniture in residences and goods in stores which had been deprived of their roofs. The residents had to obtain shelter as best they could. It was a miracle that no one was kilied. The telegraphic wires were de- moralized by the storm, and consequently news from the scene of the -iisaster is far from full. The rain and lightning started Monday, January 4, and rain was pouring gown on the following Thursday, when the barometer began to fall and the wind to howl. The wind was at its height by Thursday morning and kept it up all day. Among the few letters received from Syd- ney was one from the postmaster, in which the following paragraph appears: “The town is practically destroyed, all buildings being either heaps of ruins or very badly damaged. The rainfall Monday and Wednesday was 4.39 inches. On Thursday one inch was recorded.” MONEY IN BULL FIGHTING. Guerrita Earned $61,200 in Seven Months, From the New York Sun.

From Col. George E, Waring, jr, in th ing Maguzine, Asphalt has one quality that “fair state of cieantiness” insufficient. From some cause, which even experts are not clear in explaining, it becomes so slimy and slippery when it begins to xe st under a light rain or a heavy mist that it is unsafe for driving—especially for the hauling of heavy loads—and for the bi ele. With a drenching rain this condition scon passes, end thoroughly wet, clean as- phalt is safe for any use. If slime is al- lowed to accumulate, so as to form’ a film of mud, an asphalt street is a terror to all who drive or wheel; only sanding will make it safe. More or less often—every night in the case of the heaviest trafic the surface should be drenched, an trace of organic matter, and of should be washed off; and the sc scoop and the broom should be kept going during the day, removing all extraneous matte” as fast as it accumulates. With such care, under proper administra ‘ion, and with nightly attention to imp tions, asphalt is the most econom the most practical of all pavements, the most easily kept clean. With the exception of a single block we have no wood pavement in New York, and I know of no really good wood pavement in this country. In London, in Paris, and in other towns abroad, this mat is used with great success as a top finish for a thoroughly graded and well-concre‘ed fcundation. The “foundation is the real pavement. The wood is, 20 to speak, a mere carpeting above it, ‘to deaden sound and to take the wear. When the work is well done—as, for example, in a case that I examined recently in. Birmingham—the wood may be worn away nearly to its full depth without in any wise disturbing the concrete on which it is laid. I saw an old wood covering being taken up, parts of which were not more than three-quarters of an inch deep. The foundation was ab- solutely unaffected, and the work of rel ing fresh blocks was rapid and inex pensi Such pavement is even more agreeabl than asphalt to drive over, and the sound of the horses’ tread is deadened—a great advantage. The material wears more or less well, according to the character of the work and the amount of the traffic, but always, under good conditions, well cnough to be economical, A Department of Health. Mr. Gallinger, in the Senate, has intro- duced, by request, a bill which has received the approval of the Pan-American con- gress to establish a department of public Engineer- makes health. He said he did not want it un- derstood that the message received his ap- proval. He simply introduced it by re- quest. He also presented an accompany- ing paper which bad been prepared by the Pan-American congress, recommending the enforcement of cet in laws of health. ‘Somedays ago,” said Mr. Gallinger, “Mr. Cleveland, m_ addressing a medical association in New York, said that if sani- tary and medical science continue to im- prove the time is not far distant when a man can only die of old age.
