There wasn’t any fireâ€"only one little black stick in the stove, and that hadn’t quite gone out. It wasn’t always so. When baby came, mamma lived in a pretty white house with green blinds, and some nice green grass in front. and a flower-bed at the side door. She didn’t have to go up three flights of stairs. and call a little back bed- room ‘home.’ And there was a glowing coal fire, and pretty pictures on the walls. and a pretty white robe ready for baby when she came; and there was a good, kind papa, who came and looked at the little bundle, and, kissed it. and kissed mamma, too, and said, ‘I hope God will help me to be a good father to baby!” And he was.

The Rent of the Land Exceeds All Taxes. Arthur Withy, in Westminster RevTow: “The total rates and taxes of the United Kingdumnmount to some $640,000,000 per annum. the rental value of the land. as distinguished from buildings and other improvements, amounts to upwsrds of $800,000,000â€"an estimate based on the When told that the police. civic officials and school board officers were not changed with every change of the city council, he was verv much surprised. In Brooklyn the_ spoils went to the _victors_._ It; costs more than $550,000 annually to keep the Brooklyn streets clean. The coggof public you-kg was enormous. 7 7 The civic business of Brooklyn required a small army of officials to attend to it and the council had no less than twenty standing committees. with a. number of special committees. The result was that the aldermen had to spend the whole of the day at the city hall. In addition to the Committee meetings, the city council meet every Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Ald. Guilfoyle spoke' 'freely of civic affairs in Brooklyn, where the alderman had a yearly salary of $3,000. and. the Mayor 10,000. The ordinary expense: of the legal department of the Brooklyn corporation exceed $50,000 yearly. exoluâ€" sive of special counsel fees in all import- ant cases. Regarding the strike of the street rail- way employee. Ald. Guilfoyle expressed the opinion that the men would win. Public opinion was again running strong- ly in favor of the strikers. and the people Were boycotting the cars. The dispute had given a great impetus to the move- ment for the placing of the whole street car franchise of the city in the hands of one company, and on terms somewhat like those prevailing in Toronto. The move- menc for cancelling the franchise of all the companies now running in the. cin was becoming very strong, and was likely to be successful. income tax returns.” ATTENDED A MEETING or THE TORONTO CITY COUNCILâ€"COMPARISON or Two CITIESâ€"BIC SALARIES FOB. ALDERMENâ€" POLITICS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS. Ald, John Guilfoyle. of Brooklyn, FLY. was an interested spectator of the pro- ceedlngs at the meeting of the city council Monday afternoon. He was accompanied by Oarsman Hanlan, and was introduced to the Mayor and other members of the city council by Ald. Sbeppard. Almost every one of the fourteen or fifteen departments of civic admimstration had a commissioner at the head of it, at a. salary of from $3 000 to 810, 000 per annum. Brooklyn received no money from any corporation for the enjoyment of a civic franchise. He never heard of such an excellent agreement for the city as the: Toronto had made with the street railway company. In Brooklyn several compan- ies operated roads, so that. osystem of transfers was not possible. It seems hard that when a man does wrong his children should be put under an m‘most irresistible inclination * to do wrong; it seems hard that when a man drinks spiritual” iiquors his children and his children’s children should find themselves urged by _a burning thirst. which‘ they can scarcely withstand. toward indulge-000 in intoxicating drinks; it seems hard th at diseases should be transmitted, 1 and that because a man has violated the laws of health his children should be sickly and .short-livedâ€"these things seem hard so long as we look at them only on one side; but. what a power of restrain this economy has when every man feels, ‘ I stand not for myself alone. but for the whole line of my posterity to the third and fourth generation?
