SPRING CLEANING ARDOR CHECKED. PON the bare announcement of the coming street cleaning, many people began clearing up their premises and putting the refnre upon the streets. The energy is premature and ite effects have been in many instances violations of the lew. The Department of Health has had to halt it and rebuke it, giving notice that the inspection now going on is merely preliminary for the pur pose of affording data on which to estimate the cost of the work to be undertaken Inter on, gnd that persons depositing refuse upon the streets before the date set will be liable to arrest, ‘The mistake on the part of the public is natural enough, and the action of the department is the only one possible under the circum- stances. Yet it is a pity the fresh epringtime ardor of the people ghould be quenched just when ready to buret forth in willing and sealous work. Before the purposed work begins the spring fever for cleaning up may have given way to langaor and « desire to loaf. Then folks may have to be arrested to make them clean up their premises and clear out the refuse. It often happens thet way. a od HUBERT VON HERKOMER’S HERESY. HEN 00 eminent e master as Sir Hubert von Herkomer turns from his pencils to the bioscope for professional wotk, we are in danger that brilliant interpreters of music may give up the piano for the pianola. Sir Hubert’s argument is that with the “movies” one can make Pictures without the bother of painting them, ect plays without a stage and present stories without the labor of writing « book. The argument is valid enough, but it eo heppens that in the world of art, as in that of science and of industry, it is only the bother thet counts “for excellence. We have applied the mechanical crafts to building to euch an extent that architecture is almost a lost art. There are few men Icft capable of building « stone wall that will stand up of itself. A good many can yet make « piano sing, and paint a picture that breathes, but they are getting scarce. The next generation may eve @ world without bother and without art, content with bioscopes and pianolas, erecting monuments ¢o Gir Huberts, but not confounding them with |: him whose praise was praises indeed. —— po DOCTORS AND COCAINE. PTWERN the County Medical Society and the Distriet-Attor- ney’s office there bas arisen over the cocaine bill a eontroversy which, while settling nothing, hes brought very clearly into light some things that should be settled. It is the ples of the District-Attorney’s office that the dill is nevessery for the supprestion of crime and the preservation of the public welfare. The plea of the Medical Society is that the bill would te tho hands of doctors in their therapentic efforts and fe an insult to the profession. ‘These views, while contrary, are not contradictory. A thing may de needed for the public good and still be an insult to medical societies. The representative of the District-Attorney’s office, therefore, aban- @oned the interchange of opinions ‘and took to facts. Hoe said that @ dector had been known ¢o cell wittfin forty days $6,000 worth of cocaine in the Black Belt. He added that a very large percentage of traffic in cocaine is carried on by doctors. Thereupon the spokesman for the Medical Society suf the facts ase @ discredit to the District-Attorney’s office rather than to the melical profession, for the guilty doctors ahould have been arrested. Thus we get e lot of information and are left to decide for our | "et, 1318, Y, edhves whether we dheuld hove stricter laws about the sale of cocaine oe about the Mcensing of dootors. Ss A MUNICIPAL BABY PLANT. O”: of the discussion concerning the difficulties of womanhood of An of th in practising e profession while bearing and raising chil- Gren, there has come a proposal for the establishment of a “Baay Garden,” where babies may be placed and duly cared for, leav- ing the mother free for the duties of her profession. It is further that the-new institution be made a part of the public school qyatem like the There is nothing revolutionary in the project eo far as the schodis are concerned, for it would be but an extension of the kinder- idea from the play room back to the cradle. But it woul complete the revolution ef the home. With the father at his club, the mother et her calle and the baby in the public in- fantorium, what would be left of the family by the fireside? | Most striking, however, is the argument advanced for the enter- prise. It is eai@: “There is no mother eo unable to give proper care! to her baby es the one thet is with # every minute of the twenty- four hours; there is no wife eo poor as the one that is always at home.” A philosophy like that is more militant than smashing windows and throwing hetchets at statesmen. floorw Letters From the People (turns WrtGay. in @ reasonable time anether ‘To the Béieoe af Thee Brantag Weett : Felative called at the store and priced On what Gay 414 Qiarch 2%, 1870, fal!7| potatoes.

When the French people cast off the yolte ef the nobility and wrecked the Bastille Manette was eet free—e t: shadow of his former eelf. Two men in London loved Lucie. One was Charles Darnay, gee Marquis d’Evremonde. The other was Sydney Carton, a di young lawyer who looked enough like Darnay to be bis brother. Few decent people would associate with the drunken Carton. Thus Lucle’ gentle friendliness made him her elave. Lucie chose Darnay for her has- band.

And almost at once he was arrested. Jacques Defarge and his amazon wife were ruling epirite in the mob that swayed Paris in those wild days. And the Evremonde family of old had cruelly wronged the Defarges. ‘Thus Jacques and his wife were like bloodhounds un Darnay's track from the moment the luckless refugee dared set foot in France fain. ay ‘The mere fact that @ man was of noble birth was enough to send him to the guillotine.

In spite of her preference for another man, the drunkard still loved her with all shat was good and noble in his debauched nature. And quietly he set to work to rescue her husband. ‘He had passports for Lucie, Dr. Manette and himself that would enable them to leave France, and he arranged for a quick and safe journey to England on the night before Darnay was to die. Then, by influence and bribery, he managed to secure for himself a farewell interview with Darnay in the latter's cell on the very eve of the execution. As soon as he was alone in the cell with Darnay Carton forced the condemned man to change clothes with him. Then, overpowering the astonished noble, hi drugged him and shouted for the guards to come and carry away the “English- man,” who had ewooned. - The guards answered the call.

Carton comforted and calmed the panic-shaken Jittle girl as they went, giving her new courage for the horrible fate that was to be hers. They reached the guillotine, at whose foot sat Mme.
