Dr. Albert Shaw has made a very close study of municipal jrovernment In Germany, and he believes that country has invaluable lessons for America in the vexed problem of municipal reform. In the June number of the Century he described the municipal framework of German cities, with Its system of administration, by permanent experts. He follows this up In the July number of the same magaslne by telling what this

method of municipal housekeeping enables the German cities’ to do for their
citizens.
In Germany, says Dr. Shaw, the community, organised centrally and officially. Is a far more positive factor In the life of the family or the individual than in America. It is the business of the municipaJity to promote in every feasible way its own welfare and the welfare of Its citizens. It Is not strange that the American observer should at first be most Impressed by the splendid efficiency of German city governments In the prosecution of public works and enterprises. This Is largely due, of course, to the superb and continuous organization of the executive administration. The burgomaster Is actually or virtually a life Incumbent, and his magisterial associates who conduct the various departments either hold their places by life tenure or else upon terms practically as permanent. Conseauently, It is possible to make long plans, to proceed without haste, to distribute burdens through periods of years, to consult minute economies and to make an even, symmetrical progress that has far more of tangible achievement to show for every half decade than could be possible under our spasmodic American
methods.
BERLIN’S METHODS. Dr. Shaw draws his Illustrations from the experience of particular cities. Prussia's advance among European powers gave Berlin an Immense stimulus, and a policy of bold Initiative was entered upon there. The water and gas supplies, the streets, the river Spree and system of public education which had hitherto been largely In clerical control, practical training and sanitary Inspection, were all brought under the direct charge Of the municipality, and each was most carefully Improved and its Interests
guarded.
The shallow and sluggish Spree was embanked with massive wells, flanked with broad stone quays, and dredged for heavy traffic. Berlin had drained Into the river, but a new and elaborate ayatem of sewerage was adopted, now pronounced the most perfect In the world, and, so far as physical forms and conditions are concerned, the city’s most notable achievement In municipal housekeeping. The city was divided into twelve drainage districts, called “radial systems,” the divisions being arranged upon totpogmphlcal considerations. The sewers of each district were to converge at a common center, at which would be located a receiving basin and steam pumping-works. A tunnel was to connect each of these district centers with the reservoirs and pumping-works of a sewage farm some miles distant. The farms were tracts of rather poor ind sandy soil, but land was not cheap In the vicinity of so great a city, and the purchase money reached about 15,000.000 marks. The entire plant cost nearly990,W0.000. But the fertilizing value of the sewage is so great, and the administration of the farms is so superb, that within a very few years the investment will have become enormously productive. Hamburg had long been in need of a pure water supply, and, as It was compelled to draw from the Elbe, a complete filtration plant was undertaken. The new works were under construction when the frightful cholera epidemic of 1892 swept away thousands of victims. It was demonstrated that the disease had been propagated through the use of Elbe water, and that filtration would remove the cholera germs. The new works were tp have been ready for use in 1894. but by great effort they were completed and put Into operation in May. 1893. During last summer and autumn, the river water, when Introduced into the subsidence basins and filters, contained million!} of cholera germs to the cubic inch. As it emerged, and was supplied to the city, the water was as safe and wholesome as if it had been brought from high Alnlne sources. The filtered water averted the return of
the epidemic in 1893.
THE STREETS ARE CLEAN.
As a rule, the streets of German cities are kept In a state of enviable cleanliness. The central streets of all the leading German cities are thoroughly cleansed once a day, at night or very egr-ly In the morning, in addition to which "flying columns” of street-clean-ers are bn constant day duty to remove horse manure and other accumulations. In the residence quarters of most German cities it is still the rule that streetsweeping is an obligation that rests upon the property-owners or occupiers. About two-thirds of the larger German cities own and operate gas-works as municipal enterprises. In the matter of municipalizing electricity, they have moved somewhat slowly, but the marked tendency is toward the appropriation for the welfare of the community of all advantages and profits to be derived from the distribution of light and power from
central electrical stations.
The contract made between the city authorities of Berlin and the private company which supplies It with electric light is, according to Dr. Shaw, the perfection of business lucidity and intellince. It reculres, under heavy penal-
ties, that the area In which it may operate be fully provided with main wires within a brief period specified in contract. As compensation for permission (not exclusive) to use the streets, it Is agreed that the municipal treasury shall receive W per cent, of the company's gross receipts, and, further, that whenever the company earns a net profit of more than 6 per cent, on its actual investment of napltal, the city treasury shall receive 25 per cent, of such excess
profits, In addition to Us 10 ■
the gross Income. Still further, It is agreed that the company shall provide public electric Illumination at a price so low as to be nominal. The city authorities retain the fullest rights of inspection, .both technical and financial, and all the company’s affairs are open to the knowledge of responsible public of-
ficials. _

Tne Attorneg-OMeral

Queen, upon the birth of an heir to the Duke of York. Among other things he
said:
“I owe allegiance to no hereditary ruler. The motion proposes to raise the Importance of an event of every-day occurrence. 1 am delighted to learn that the child is fairly healthy. I shall be pleased to Join in the ordinary congratulations If 1 mevt the child's parents, but when the House of Commons, representing the nation. Is asked to Join In congrutul&tions, then, in the Interest of the dignity of the house, I protest. It Is a matter of small concern to me whether the future ruler of this country is a genuine article or a spurious one. The motion was made because the child was born in the royal family, and the house has a right to ask what particular blessing the royal family has conferred upon the nation. We are told that the Queen has ruled for half a century. I beg to correct this by saying that Her Majesty has reigned, pot ruled. There is the Prince of \V ales. What special blessing has he conferred upon the nation that we should rejoice with him? 1 know nothing in the career of His Royal litjehness wnlch commends Itself especially to me. Wo are told that a fierce light beats upon the throne, but sometimes we catch glimpses of His Royal Highness on the race couyse. “The house Is asked to rejoice because a child is born. But up to the present there are no means of knowing his qualifications to reign over this great empire. It Is strange that people who have so much to say about the hereditary element in another place should be so willing now to indorse it in this particular Instance. The principle Is the same In both cases. This child will be surrounded by sycophants and flatterers, and will be taught to believe himself superior to creation. In course of time he will tour the world with rumors of marriages In his train. (Cries of dissent.) As the house has not found time to vote condolence with the widows and orphans and others who are euflfdring from the terrible colliery calamity in Wales, I protest against the present mummery.” The motion was then put. Hardle alone protested, and it was adopted amid prolonged cheering. Lord Rosebery, In the House of Lords yesterday, In moving an adress of congratulation to the Queen upon the birth of an heir to the Duke of York, said that there was no absolute guarantee in this world against evil. But the most Important guarantee of the permanence of the actual form of government was the fact that the Queen had no fewer than throe direct heirs. The Premier added that monarchy by the lapse of centuries had assumed functions rather social than political. The Marquis of Salisbury said that he would supplement Lord Rosebery's remarks by stating that the present form of government was the only one possible in order to rally the numerous races and creeds which were under the Queen’s sway. The motion was adopted.

cold is pretty certain to be the result. Now, where most people make a mistake Is iR 1 rot guarding against these sudden changes quickly and in lime. Any man or woman who has on a light suit of clothing, and 1 eels R change which brings a chill, should at once
counteract the chill. Tbiecan only be done by j the use of some pure stouulant, not gingers or ;
hot drinks, but n pure medicinal whiskey that will refresh the system, caiwe the blood to cir-
culate, and bring about immediate re-action, i There Is but one medicinal whiskey that win [
do this, and that is Duffy’s Pure Malt. It haa for twenty years accomplished what has never been known before in counteracting the first Symptoms of sudden colds and preventing the possibility of pneumonia, ieversand all thg distressing complaints which tollow any cold. Tt should ha lemembered, however, that Duffy’s Pur# Malt is the only whiskey which will certainly accomplish this, and however much dealers mar talk to the contrary, It
alone should be taken.
