Much has been written and much said about the Gilbert fountain in Piccadilly- Yet henceforth; perhaps for eigh teen months, perhaps for ever, it is not the lack of Eros and his "foreign joyous- nest", which will make Piccadilly circus in daylight seem a dreary spot, One need not be unreasonably cynical to be- lieve that comparatively few people know that he was there, and that fewer still had done Him the justice of studying his beauty and pondering, on his influenes. Touch him, even reverently and ander rompulsion, and a cry goes up from the near two who had been aware of him and will sing him fortunately there are always one or two why know and live the beauties of Loudon, and start the protest against destruction which is soon swelled to a roar by the voices of a pre viously indifferent multitude. While Broa is away, there will still be the Piccadilly- eireus traffic, which is a spectacle in it- self and at night there will still be the foreign, the Broadway, joynasness of the electric-light advertisements-signs more emphatic, more easily comprebended, and much more diffeult to miss than any work of the sculptor's art. Let us clear our minds of mat. Not one in ten thou- sad of us will find, Piccadilly-circus the duller beesuse Eros is no longer there, And yet let the shop windows and the restaurants do their bravest in his nbseare. Piccadilly circus, by daylight will be but sobre for awhik.
So much has been written and so much said about Ems that none had remember- ed those who enringed him with colour and splendour. Suddenly it was realized that. the fountain gone, the lower-sellers must go too. And with them goes the light of Piccadilly-eireue. Their heaped baskets did more than please the senses. It was much that in the very heart of London one should coraç upon sights and scents sweet in themselves and all the sweeter for the memories and images.they awoke, of the violets of Yenice, of the anemones of the Riviera, the daffodils and jouquil of Scilly, the tulius of Hollandt, the ruses of English gardens, the beech. leaves of
Autumn woods. They brought, al, to one who had risked his life to reach them, that refreshment rad Boutelation, that reminder and guarantee of peace and quiet yet gering in the world, which alone could herve him to proceed an bis desperate journey from this ventral haven through the turmoil. They appealed. to, to the thought no less than to the senses audi, the feelings. lu the firm and friendly guardian of those baskets might be seen at least one clear link between the philanthropic Lord Shaftesbury and the foreign joyousness of the fountain that was put up to his memory. The Ear wrote Alfred

Here, round his feantain, sat signal examples of his interest: Indiesewhose employment certainly made one think of Omar Khay yam's remark about the vintners, but whose uncertain trade in perishable goods canant oue imagines, leave much margin for the purchase of those neces sary things more precious in the Hawer- sellers households than the staff they well.
We need not have the intimate knowledge professed by the author of No. 3 John Street" to believe that the worst offenes with which they could be charges is that of running wires through their runes. And one more link with Eros they might justly claim. How inany ashy courtship has been happily forward- fed by the little bunch of violete or the smart little huttonhole of carnation and maiden-hair timidly passed from one hand to another at the hour when the shops and offices 'else and the working world moves homeward? It may be that the flower women will retur; and no lover' of London but will hope for this touch of the familiar among so much that is doomed to be new. But let is not be yet. They will be better off in Trafalgar- squire, with fanning water and a south aspect, as Captain Swinton Mazurks in p in letter which we publish today; or Leicester-quare (which must be called by its old name of Leicester Fields for their sakt), than they would be with their element-defying bucks against a wooden hoarding concealing a hole in the ground.

Why do you tap a cigarette

Most smokers tap the end of a mass-production cigarette to prevent pieces of loose stalk and sand coming into contact with the tongue and irritating the throat.
