A MAN built » house without a cellar and without any means of getting to one whenever he should dig it. fe had an or- chard and a potato field and wanted to store their products ked a barrel of apples he tore up in a cool place. Every time he pi the flooring of his ho: 1 made a hole in the earth under it big enough to set the barre! Then he nailed down the flooring. Every time he dug a barrel of potatoes he repeated the process. What he did not do was to rapair his first mistake—to dig a cellar when he found he needed it, and make a door and stairway to it. . So far as we know, this man never really existed. We have imagined him for purposes of allegory, and as such his name is Father Knickerbocker. New York has been laying its pipes and mains and conduits underground and providing no access to them. Every time there is a leak anywhere, every time a new public service is installed underground, the flooring has to be ripped up—streets are torn up, and stay “up” a long time, to the detriment of business and health and traffic, That is the main reason why a merchants’ committee which reported to the Mayor the other day called our paving “worse than the paving in any great city in the world.” ‘The best-laid street can not keep a good repute when it is constantly dug up and patched. Why not dig the cellar and provide the cellar doors? Why not in, duits are laid in the sewers and are accessible without digging.

And he nad no leas an authority than the British General, Cornwallis, to indorse his belief. Te the average onlooker the Revolution seemed really at an end. The patrd ots had been beaten in battle after battle. Men were deserting by the hum dred. The American soldiers were pitifully short of food, clothes and arma, There was no money to carry on the confilct and no credit to back it Everywhere high hope had been followed by despair.
