The Holly wster"works recently
erected 10 the city Of Rochester, New
York, have performed the unexsmp!ed
feat OF throwing a column OF water four
inches in diameter 207 feet high! A
five inch column was thrown to the
height OF $50 feet. The four inch
stream delivered $3.50 gallons per min~
ute and the five.inCh stream $500. II
our city were supplied with machines
OF that power we could well afford to
dispense with FIRE engines
The Holly system seems to have
stood a very satisfactory test at Ro-
chester. but we ob2eFTe that it does not
give such complete satisfaction in the
cities where it has been several years
10 use. Ia Coyiugton we believe they
are about to abandon the Holly ma
chimes, and erect water works upon the
old pla2.

of this invaluable instrument
is placed at the ridicu-

The advertisements in the paper be-

business that the ordinary public sel-

worth Is cents, while the best Ameyi-

There must be some difference in the
mode OF preparation to account for thi:
difference in value, and American pro-

ACTIVITY LEADS TO HAPPINESS. We should
all live more healthful, more useful and Ion
ger lives, says the Philadelphia Ledger, did we
SO employ our activities to extract from them
that enjoyment which is their natural and lc,
gitimate result Let every one be sure that, if
his work is toilsome, arduous and depressing,
there is something wrong some Of his faculties
are restrained, while others are ovcrburdened ;
some of his powers are exhausted, while others
are dormant. 1t is not rest so much rs change
that he needs; not to lay down his work and
fold his hands in idlencss, but rather to en-
brace other fields of action, hitherto uutrodden.
It will doubtless be difficult to apply this to all
the details of practical life, but we shall have
gained one important step towards it, five ap,
preciate and firmly hold to the truth, that real
happiness can only be attained by, activity OF
mind rt and body, and the more fully and har'
moniously all our powers are exercised, the full
Ter will be our life, and the more real enjoy
ment will it yield.
