ghe Hoosier Aunt.

The Hoosier Aunt.
From that hundred-citied West,
West that grows like weed possessed,
Ranges down on all my doors,
Country cousins, countless scores; .-
In posish in posish
To enjoy the Exposish;
Come to stay, come to stay,
Till the Show has passed away;
While loud voices rise and call
"Put some more cots in the hail."
Weltering my children cry,
Sweltering my children cry,
As they wander To-and- Fro;
swell, this is indeed A Go!' '-
While their guests of both the sexes,
Moveless guests of both the sexes,
Move about from day to day,
Doing Buildings and Annexes,
Hoosier aunt, hoosier aunt hither, swiftly flying,
Citing eastward Ger the air line rail,
Heart within, ~ kinder hate to leace aou OshkoSh
signing,
But, "0sh, you'ce got no show in this Centennial
Year, during which you hare no ShOW, and
Philadelphia has THE Shoto," replying.

Philadelphia, crying

Oshkosh, not for thee,
Nor thee, Kankakee,
Nor thee, dear Coney Island, sitting by the sea,
Nor thee. Skowhegan, and in very truth,
Nor cen for thee, Duluth, Duluth.
Will Winter cries, write away.
Jim Crynkle cries, write play
Jim Bennett cries, L polo play.
But the hooSier aunt cries, "I'm bound to 60 to
Philadelphia, and Pm bound to stay"
Then old Punks and Hooks and Things,
The kind that one from garnet brings,
Ghosts Of Goods once fresh and fair,
Grown ragged Quilts in the attic air,
Lounges with their broken springs
Settles where the sly moth clings-
PARENTS children, hired girls,
While aching haa swift rvhTls
Write TO the hoosier aunt, with faces very glum,
"No! Thou shalt not GOMEZ .ENfr .

GIFTS she by day and under the stars,
GIFTS she in Wagner and Pullman cars,
GIFTS while the Hoosier Heart Heaves and HUNS
With Sweet Expectancy that nothing mars
Now, Laus Dec, the journeys past, a.
Now praise for the railways running fast
Despite of those who waved her away
She's started, is here and has come to stay
How long good graeiousi how long is it
That she's going to protract her visit?
How long, how long? o give us an answer
And tell us the truth in one brief stanza.
.'Long as the Art HALLS open found,
Long as the Corliss wheel turus round,
Long as the gatemen do not cease .Is
To gather in the half dollar piece!
Long as there's anything to see,
So long, in short, as the show shall be
So long dear aunt will be on hand
AS summer blithest morning bland.''
o, Expossh, from top of Georges hill unfold
The star strewn banner loved with love untold
Wave us swift onward to that Golden Age ~
When Right alone shall hold the worlds broad STAGE
When Love alone shall human thought engage;
Scream, eagle, scream, from Schuykill unto Niger,
And sound the worlds best lovers welcome-cheers,
cheer each cheer "tiger!"

a competition for deep-water freight
from Puget Sound against the Colum-
bia river navigation, that would not be
to the advantage OF our city! 1t is
well enough to look at the effect Of

THE CROTON WATER
WORKS.

The Croton Aqucduct, which sup

stone, brick and cement, arched over

an arc, (the versed sine Of which is
8 inches,) z feet. ) inches at the
springing line Of the arch, and 8
feet 81 inches high; area of cross
section 53h square feet, and having
a maximum capacity of ll5,00o.000
gallons daily. The fall is LOSS feet

miles an hour. The aqueduct is
carried across Harlem river in two
iron pipes three feet in diameter,
upon bridge 1860 feet long with s
arches In the river Of so foot span
and 2 upon the bank Of 80 foot
span, and raised ia feet above high
water mark. The collecting reser-
voir was formed by constructing a
dam across the Croton river in the
highlands 40l miles distant from
the city, whereby the water was
raised 40 feet, forming the Croton
lake, covering 400 acres, 6 feet deep
and containing SOC, 1000, 900 gallons.
Many improvements Of various
kinds have been added in later
years.
1t was expected that the original
works would suffice for n population
Of 100000, but the city now, with
a population Of a little over a mil
lion. requires more than 100000, 900
gallons per diem, and the construc-
ton of another aqueduct is found
requisite.

is 1921 acres of which 3.542 acres
are occupied By streets, roads and

reputed as the site of Troy, but these
were made not with the hope of making
any real discoveries. II was DIR. Schlie .
mann's purpose, first of all to disprove
this old theory as to the locality of Pri-
ans city by the utter absence of any in
dications of the city itself In 1871 he
began his excavations at Hissarlik, on
what he believed was the site of Troy,
and these explorations resulted in rich
harvest for the students of history and
prehistoric man. He established not only
the real site of Troy, but disentombed the
evidences of the TrOjans' opulence, their
taste and their arts. Pottery, weapons,
implements and silver ornaments were
found by the explorer. and among the
other curiOsities which he dug up was u
living toad of Helen's time. He unearth-
cd what he believes to be not only Nep-
tune and Apollo's wall but Priam's tower
itself. DIR. Schliemann communicated
these Investigations to the Herald in 1872
December 2, in the same year. Suisse
quently the Turkish government inter-
posed obstac. .es in the way of removing
the treasure which he had discovered
and he met with opposition from the
| scholars and savans of every country who
were not ready to accept the theories
| which were necessitated by such astound-
ing revelations. Schliemann was not de-
tered, however, from his favorite pur-
suits either by opposition or obstacles but
| his health failing on account of the mias-
matte fevcrs of the plains of Troy, he
turned his attention to the ancient city OF
| Mycenn, and now by bringing to light
the tomb of Agamemnon, he not only
widens his fame but establishes u claim
for the consideration of students and
scholars which cannot be disregarded.
