Published Daily Except Sunday. by she Prove Fabjieniag Company, Noa. 53 to: SOME PURCHASABLE COMMODITIES. | N A REPORT te the Legflature showing for the past yorr the I lowsst death iate ever Known in the State, the Corummissioner of Health says truly enough, “Poblic health is @ purchasable “commodity.” He submits evidenve to.sustain the words, It is by paying the cost of sanitary measures thet health is upheld. Atnong thethings we have paid for that have helped to reduce tle death rate | of 1912 to 14.6 per 1,000 of population, as compared with a rate of | 18. per 1,000 in 1904, the Commissioner enumerates laws regulating | ctf storage of food stuffs, forbidding the pollution of streams, tho enlargement of the work of the State Laboratory and the campaign against tuberoulosis. But there.ie another ele {o the showing. During the year there | were 9,700 deaths by violence, 1,145 homicides and 1,330 euivides. ‘That is a heavy record for # healthy State. Moreover, it was to savo | money in shops and mines and factories that many accidents hap-| pened. It was for money, too, that most homicides were commiited. Appraised impartially, then, death by accident or by crime appears | extified to travel in the same class with public health, Tt also is a} parchessble ‘commodity. $e GETTING THE PEOPLE INTERESTED. OCORDING to the chairman of a cominittee of the Mer-| chants’ Association, working io improve the sanitary con- ditions of the city, one of the chief needs of the day is that; of getting the people interested in atreet cleaning and induving them | to obey ordinances. Some of the plainest rules of city government | are violated s0 frequently that the violation might bo fairly termed a habit. Among them are the practices of putting out ash cans un- covered amd of aweeping the strects in front of stores and dwellings at times when the law forbids. There are many courses open to the association in undertaking thie task. Some people may be induced io take an interest in clean streets by reading a tract, others by listening to a lecture, others by seeing clean streets and dirty streets pictured in @ show. But the ia to have the ordinances enforced by the police. One or two cases | of prompt arrest end jwdicious punishment would have an astonish- ingly interesting effect. —4+2-——_—_—_ PROGRESS OF THE AGE OF PAPER. N OFFICIAL of the Southern Pacifico Company, in discussing the Federal regulation forbidding the common drinking cup on railway trains, is quoted as saying the company will not only introduce paper cups and paper towels, but has under con- | sideration a plan for furnishing paper dishes for dining cars. Such dishes are already in use for picnic purposes and in many mining | camps. If adopted by the railway they will be made sufficiently handsome for travellers to keep as souvenirs. He added: “Every item for a dinner service is now to be had of paper except a knife.” According to estimates eubmiited to the railway, paper will cost more than the laundry bills for linen towels, Hf any mates have been made as to the comparative cost of paper with croc ery dishes, they have not been given out. It appeary, however, that the | paper might be the more economical. If so, the coming of a time | when they: will be in general use is surely not distant. Hotels and private honses will doubtless follow the roads, ‘Then somebody will | invent the knife and the paper age will have arrived complete. ‘Uhere | is @ good hint in this for men that have inventive genius and specu- lative tastes. towels | ing ———_—_—<-4--— -—-— PSYCHICAL RESEARCH AT HARVARD.

AT WALL, one of the War Depar messengers, brought me a note from Rufus Ingalls, then Quartermaster Gen of the United States Army, asking if he might bring Gen. Phil Sheridan to call, as he was anxious to meet the wife of Gen. Pickett. « replied that I should be most happy to 660) Gen, Sheridan and named a time, ' The “gay rider’ proved, as my Soldier had described him to be, modest,’ warm-hearted, genial, exceedingly Jolly, origi entertaining, a Hitle abrupty| | mont unaffected.

In the first place, we nelther of us ever made a single mis- take in our lives and we never let the other fellow know where we were, where we were going or what we were up to. Then, again, neither of ws was a Solomon, or distinguished himself at West Point, ond nobody ever sus- | pected that either of us would amount to a row of pins, “But, you see, at the beginning of the war I got snowed under six foot {deep in that old rascal’s department (pointing to Gen.
