tbe halo except when the moon is near the horizon.These halos are simply due to refraction.They are (theorotically) producible if ray* are refracted through minute crystal* of ice floating in the air.The level of the cirro stratus (tfie halo cloud) floats at over 20 000 feet from the 1»- accident, a* oliicully telegraphed to the railway company, 1* a* follow*:\u2014The train drspatch\"r at

this hemisphere.M'k has improved on this suggestion made by the Witnt** some time ago, if an improvement it is, including the whole island in the scheme.The third item in the programme would be a general plan for the future laying out of the suburbs, and for the creation of boule Varda in the city itself.Our plans for boulevards have frequently been laid liefore our readers, including one from the Queen's statue to the Canadian Pacific Station, and so on westward, and one from the post-office to Logan\u2019s Farm, an^i so on northward.The fourth item is cognate to this, namely, a series of larger park play grounds in all parts of the city, including Logan\u2019s Farm, Iklle Hive park, enlargement of Vigor and Victoria squares\u2014so securing the Frothingham property in front of the Royal Victoria Hospital to make up for the alienated portion of the park.The creation of a first rate square in Gritfintown by the removal of the Hay-market, and the securing of that splendid park property in St.Cunegmde to furnish the only remaining playground space for a vast region of the city, yet to be very thickly populated ; parks can fairly be paid for with borrowed money, as they are growing worth all they cost, and the improvement to the property will pay the interest on the loan.This we suggested as Montreal's project for the jubilee year, but she spent her time on a boodle enquiry.The fifth, if it should not bo higher up on the list, is a complete harbor and floid scheme.If we do not attend to this, our magnificent harbor front, which has been the pride of every Montrealer and every one who has ever been in Montreal, is likely to bo injured.Toronto is carrying out a line scheme of this sort.Sixth on the list comes a dock scheme combining the opening of such new harbor accommodation as was recently prop)soil by Mr.Henshaw with the elevation of Gritfintown.Tne Witrvu has always held that the way to deal with floods was to lift our low-lying regions out of the awampi by making docks in Grilfintown, a work which would probably pay for itself.Seventh.No level crossings.Eighth.No tolls.Ninth.An annual census.Tenth.A sweeping reduction of the liquor business.Our City Council, on its present basis, cannot find time to think of such things as these.It ia too much taken up with departmental details which it had much hotter leave to men who are competent to manage them.A committee of citizens, including all races, should be at once organized t> take up the aliove programme and keep it before the voters till it is carried through.NEW YORK RANITARY REFORM.A nXMCRIPTION CE T»l» NEW HY8T1M OVEB OMOANIZATION A FAULT OF THE OLD KXUIMS.Mr.James 0.Raylis, president of the New York Rosid of Health, in a rocent uqairt to the Mayor of that city, made some Htalemcut* that will lie read with interest by Montreal citizene at the present time lie Hays that on assuming office he found the Health Department there in a vi ry demoralized condition, crippled by in fuilicieiu appropriations and suffering from over-organization.There were too nmny aeniL iride| endent head», too much sub division of responsibility,and rule» ao ooirplex and volunn nous that no one in th« service knew where Ins duties began or ended.The result was, in conHcquence, quite different from that intended.Mr.Rayli* SIMPLIFIED THE HYSTXM, and now declares the net rennlt an important extension of the work of the Hoard without increased expense.The organization as now adopted i* primarily the *\u2019 Sanitary Hureati,\u201d aub divided a* follow* : Snnitary inspection ; contagious diseases ; food and drink sdulteiation, and food inspection ; plumbing and ventilation and construction of new buildings ; vita! statistic», and a tem|ior»ry »ub division for the sun.irer months of the summer corps.All the work of snnitary and tenement house in-apeciiou is now done by one diviidon This contain* the lay «unitary iu*pectors anil the *ani-ti ry («dice.The value of medical men in sani'Hry im-pection, Mr.Rayli* declare*, has lie n l.rgely exaggerated.Daymen and police-, men do the work better.To obtain the best talent connected with the study of the effect* of iliu'iiBo ii|*i!i the human b»dy, two leading physicians were ap|H)intet pathologist* without *alaiy.Roth accepted.To en!i*t the sympathy and support of the medical profession, it wa* do* mod advisable to reduce, a* far as possible, the expense to the professional reporting births and contagious disease*.For this pur-pose postal card*, properly inscribed, are provided.Thia remove* all excuse on the part of the profession for non compliance with the law, and facilitates tho enforcement of penalties against those DOCTORS WHO fERAtaTENTLT XEliLSCT or refuse to comply.The department is si way* prepared to send an in*|>ector at a moment's notice to any case of contagious disease on it* being reported ; to proffer to the indigent afflicted medical aid ; to give disinfectants and instruct in^their use, etc.Tho division of plumbing, ventilation, and the cnatruction of new building* to suit the rapid growth of the city, has been carefully at-tended to.To simplify tho work of transcribing record* a registrar has been appointed whose duty it is to codify all information relating to the sanitary condition of every dwelling.A record of deaths by street by number is to bo kept and ;>ersistentl,y unhealthy premises detected.The department will nl»o ascertain the effect upon health of such nuisances a* undrained lots, slaughter houses, rendering establishment», gas manufactories and other offensive trade*.It is 1 wed to show, by a weekly map, the exact localities where deaths from preventable diseases have occurred.Tables showing the effects upon health of various occupations, overcrowding, want of drainage, etc., are to be made.AFTERNOON LOAFERS.THE SORT or PEOPLE WHO PATRONIZE THE DAT-LIOHT DRAMA.\" Who are the people that attend the afternoon play?\" is the not unnatural question that occurs to one on seeing the crowds Mocking to a Montreal theatre in broad daylight, and possibly waiting outside for the doors to open, while on every side of them busy worker* are fighting against old Father Time in their efforts to earn their daily bread.The contrast is great.On one side is the gaping crowd idly waiting for their clogged sensibilities to be stirred up by buffooning or by the woes of some improvident \u201c hero\u201d or \" heroine\u201d like themselves, who has wasted the precious time in reaping straw.And on the other hand there hnrry to and

DRIUE\u2019fl DUWKK IS INDIHI\u2019HNSSULK.\u201cMarriage* in Italy, \u2019 said a traveller who had just returned from a tour up the Mediter rftnean, \"are unlike oursin every particular.The ceremony there is jierforrned only in the church.After two lovers have become engaged, the parents of the bride repair to the dignitary who correspond* to the mayor in this country.Tin* bride and budegroom hero in writing and in the presencer.f at least half a dozen witnesses, signify their intentions of marrying.The date of the wedding i* designated, but the event is not allowed t take [dace within three months.Immediately after departing from the mayor's offic*, the friends of the contracting parties sre notified in person of the t>ro|H>*ed nuptials, and iu some instances not only is it advertised in the newspapers, but written notices are posted on every second post of the town.The mayor, on tho other hand, directs his clerks to send a notification of the intention to all the churches in the city and vicinity.This done, the names and ages of the couple are entered in a big book winch the Driest keeps for that purpose.No ono is marrie*] by the clergyman who has not signified his or her intention three mouths Indore.As smm as a couple enter the church the reverend gentleman iu charge examines the book in person.If he fail* to discover a register of the intention he refuses to join the anxious pair.Every woman who marries is entitled to a dower.Her parent* must confer this u;>on her.For the most part the bridegroom* expect this dower, and my attention was called to several who had refused to take the bride without it.The value of the dower de[K-nd* entirely upon the financial status of the girl\u2019s parents.The poorer ones generally furnish in a com plete manner the dwelling in which tho couple intends to live.The father of the girl, some f-*w week* prior to the wedding, prepares in writing the dower list.It is a most ludicrous document sometimes, but more particularly when it minutely describes the number of fork*, knives, spoons, tlishee, chairs ami other household paraphernalia which the bridegroom\u2019s father-in-law is willing to bestow upon the smitten pair.Of course there are instances where the bride\u2019s father, owing to extreme poverty, has been unable to give a dowry, but these are real love affairs.\" \u201c Cannot the bridegroom present the trousseau ?\" \u201c Yes, he can : but as far ss I could ascertain there were certain restriction*.The newly-married couple never go on a honeyimsm, the universal custom being to allow them to remain at home for eight day*.At the expiration of that time the caid* are sent out.Then there is merry-making.There are few cases of elopement.\" \u201c Does not this compulsory dower prevent manv marriages?\" \"Yes, it does Still there are pure love affairs eveu in Italy, and a man doesn\u2019t expect a «lower from the relatives of a pimr orphan whom he loves In this country but few Italians re-ganl their country\u2019* custom.Some believe in the wisdom of receiving the mayor\u2019s ami church's approbation, but as a general rule the dower anil festivities are entirely disregarded.\" - X.T.Mail.A SOCIAL REVOLUTION.A great, social revolution i« in progrès* in British India An increising number of the natives are visiting Britain aud other European

succ*aa remains to bos«cu.In the circular read yesterday His Eminence starts out by recalling the conditions upon which the Holy See had Consented to aus|>end until further orders its condi mnation of the organiAation : 1st, that all Catholics should be ready to abandon it when so ordered ; 2nd, that they should promise to shun everything favoring Masonic and other societies condemned by the laws ot justice, charity and the State, and 3rd, that they should abstain from all promises or oaths by which they bound themselves to blindly obey all tho order* of the directors of any society and to ketp them a secret even from the legitimate anthorittrs.The circular then goes on to say that non compliance with any of theconditions renders C.itholica unworthy of the sacraments of the church, and all who heard it read are authorized to ray that His Eminence strongly advises a'1 Catholics of the archdiocese to not enrol themselves in the Knights of l^bor, which is, to say the least, a dangerous society, and all who be long to it to withdraw from it.The teachings and warniugs c f the Provincial Council of against suck foreign organizations are next quoted, ar.d the following are declared to bo the obligations in posed upon Catholics in the on section Irt.They cannot join or r> main in the society of the Knights if.at the initiation of its mein-D rs, it e ceremoui'-s savor of Freemasonry, which is condemned absolutely and under every foi m.2nd.Thytrust have nothing to do with a n ciety w hich exact* from its members an ontli or even a t-imple promise to blindly obey the ordets of director* or of rules which in practice' are contrary to the laws of justice, charity and tie Stati-, a* often han*-n* in the case of strikes.3rd.If at any me»-ting of that society any n < mber, aud «specially a leader, enunciate* principle* contrary to justice, charity and law, and I» m t called to «infer or blamed, such tacit ant indirect approval should bo regarded by all I'ntknjics a* an insult to their faith ami »n invitation to quit the organization without ii« lay : and, -Ith, all threats to induce anyone to join the society or to remain in it or to commit any iu justice- should be considered as an attempt against j> r*< ual liberty and a* a proof that there I* something bad in the society.Finally, the crcular concludes with an invitation to the carly expressed* s1 ou!d be tantamount to a c unman 1 for alt sub missive children of the church.The remainder of the rev.gentleman's remarks wer» devoted to pointing out that in the («resent instance the faithful had to choose between accepting the advice of their j»a*tors, who were their best friends and in most instances the children of wr.rkmgmen themselves.and the dangerous counsels cf parties who were absolutely stranger* to them, or of hot-headed acquaintances who knew little or nothing of the question upon which they are so glib at present.At St.Kochs Church the curé, among other things, stated that at least fifty members of the Association bad asked him to («reach in such a way against it that they would be furnished with a pretext for leaving it.PCBUC OPINION.Needless to say that both the circular and comments createa quite a fi-nr.'-nt among all in t(T»sted.As f'-r th» ir eff-ct opinions are very-much divided.Prominent Knights say that they ex[«ected nothfng better from Cardinal T.ss-cheteau, as be has been their ensmy all along and is very sire over his failure to snuff them out before this at Romm Only the weak ku-«-d, they claim, who are just as well out of the society, will be mtluenced by his advice gratify hu own feeling* as iu obedience to the pressure which was brought to bear upon him by the employer* of underbid local labor generally, and that, with regard to their organization, he has been only creating bugbear» to have thi* chance of destroying them.On the other hand, the prevailing impression among Catholics is that the circular will b- fatal to the Knight», at least locally.As for the striking prinb-r», they at once held a meeting, and appointed a deputation to wait upon His Eminence.Yesterday afternoon his Vicar General, Mgr.Legare, was seen, and it is understood that he informed them that the circular wa* not specially or directly aimed at them, that it was decided U|«on and prepared before the slnke, and that they would lie giv#» an opportunity to defend themselves if tho eni(»l««yers sought an interview with the Cardinal.However, there is some difficulty, a it seems, in believing that tnere is no connection between the strike and the circular, as the latter's forthcoming appearance was announced on .Saturday evening by Lhvénfintnt, and a meeting of publishers was, it is said, held at the St.Louis Hotel on the same night to consider the situation aa it would be affected by His Eminence's utterances.It is also said that i they propose, if they succeed, to insist U(s«n the sweeping away of the («resent t y («.graphical muons and the substitution for them of some tort of workingmen's circle based RM woiheù wa tMWiwUfcUf vAthwlig ÿ.'tMOiyiwe, i On the other hand, the striking printers claim that it they are only true to caoh other
