visitor from Australia when speaking of the abominable habit some of the habitues of the streets of Auckland have of expectorating on the footpaths. “ but I would ii'ko to take them by the scruff of the neck and run them to the side of the path anti show them the gutter, because the danger of what they are doing must be apparent to all. In our dry Australian climate such a thing would be severely punished, because disease would be spread all over the country.” Tie had noticed, states the Auckland r; Star.” that at 7.30 the other night in Auckland a great deal of dust was flying all the way along Queen street, and he thought that would bo a good rule to follow the example of big cities in other countries and keep the gutters damp, and to try and have the main streets flushed after the main traffic for the day had oeased and before the street traffic far the evening had commenced.
