The Mayor ot Sydney is taking strong steps to make the footpath expectorator suffer a little temporary inconvenience and restriction. And the New York magistrates are going strongly in the same direction. With the New York street railway companies, the fine for spitting on the floor of a car is anything up to a £IOO, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding one y6ar. Is it not rime the authorities of Christchurch turned attention to this disgusting habit? Were it only a matter of defiling, the boots and dresses of ladies it would be worth while to stop it, but .when you reflect that tbe bacilli' of consumption—! and other things—are constantly dissem mated in this way the matter becomes vital. As for the man who mast spit let him walk as far as the side channel.— Christchurch Spectator.
