OUR DRINKING FOUNTAINS

To THE EDITOR OF THE _

cannot but be denounced as extravf
'As near `as I could' guess, the ladle heldnl
and was about' thirty seconds in -filling., which, in round
numbers, would amount to one hundred and eighty to tvi°
hundred gallons a day. lam not .aware how many there
are in the town, and. outskirts ; but, in tbe•course of my walks

than allow it to run waste, as it does at present ;..or could
not the orifice of the tap be reduced to one-third its size
And if a tank were
~placed approximate to'each fountain,.
With a corresponding outlet, ,the loss would .not,be.,.so great,:

IMPROVEMENT IN GENTLEMEN'S HATS.—Many letters
from time to time have; on this subject, appeared in the
"Post" and " Journal," the originals of which are to be
seen at our shops, 9, DALE-STREET, and 6, CRESCENT.
MR. JOHN A-. SIMPSON, the active partner of the
firth KINIYEAR and SIMPSON, begs to state that
this improvement in Gentlemen's Hats is his own inven-
tion, -and registered. by hint in his own name, and is his
own private property. In bringing this invention so
prOmmently before the public, he has avoided say-
ing one, wqrcl
,about -it himself. All that ba.4, been done
has Just been to print, in the ." Daily Post " and
the' "Liverpool Journal," some three or few letters at
The principle upon which the advertisement is
inserted is. the one so well expressed in Proi'erbs--"Let
another man praise thee, and not thine own month ; a
stranger, and not. thine own lips." The whole Of those
letters are written by :persons altogether uninfluenced by
any other motive than this=--that they really felt the bene-
fit; of Mr. StmrsoN's invention, and in such a degree,' that:
they thought-ft 'only just to him to state their opinions, not
in wordi merely, but also in writing.
