Swat to ma haus-you brought il
here? Wy, l never see you before in
ma life! Tell me vaat you mean?"
So the man repeated in emphatic
words, how that he had come the day
before with a roll of cloth, how that he
was going to sell it, and that they were
talking about the price when they were
interrupted by policeman passing along
the street, and "you know" he added, !,
"I left the cloth just here and went out
the back way through your house and
yard" But so monstrous an imputa-
tion upon his reputation the Jew could
no longer resist.
"Judith, my tear" he called out at
the top of his voice to his daughter.
"Judith, my tear, fetch policeman; !;
here is railway porter who has robbed
his master, and wants to bring disgrace
upon a respectable tradesman" And
Judith hied herself out into the street
in apparently hot pursuit of minister
of justice. There was no time to be
lost. The terrified railway servant per-
formed strategic movement down the
street in the opposite direction, leaving
behind him forever his ill-gotten spoils
in the possession of the tender-hearted,
scrupulous Israelite.-Londoa PGper.

Cadix narbOr nd its Boatmen

There is no place in the world more
cheerful than Cadiz, from the bright
ness of its blue sea, its sky never
fleeked by a clOudlet passing, the snowy
whiteness of its houses, the beauty of
its squares, with ali their wealth of
tropical trees and flowers. True, Mad
rid or Sevilla has more advertisements
of theatre and the like, but the climate
of the first is simply abominable. and
the heat of the second in summer and
its cold in winter simply unbearable.
Neither Madrid nor Sevilla can be called
truly healthy, But at Cadiz one brea-
thes health at every step; even to an
invalid spirits and appetite never flag
at Cadiz; colds and coughs are unheard
of; one lives in perpetual primdrero. or
spring. When the stranger in Cadiz
tires of its tropical squares. of its beau
tiful pdseos, or sea walks, of which Las
Delicids bears off the palm, command
ing a wide view of the blue ocean, he
need only saunter down the Gale San
Francisco, pass through the Puerta del
Mar, or Sea-gate, on to the wharves
and fish and fruit markets, and he will
find himself in a new world. 1t is mid
day, we will say, and slight Ierante,
or east wind, blowing; the sea is bluer
than the sky; in front of him, stretch

Eancied His.

I can mention q score of women land
men, too, for that matter but let them
go, for once who pride themselves on
their ill-health according to their own
account, they are never we'll never in
robust health. The other evening, in
a crowded assembly, was compelled
to listen to long catalogue of the ills
to which flesh is heir, drearily enumer-
sted by lady for the entertainment of
a gentleman :'She never expected to
be we'll again. The doctor said her
nervous system was completely gone. I"
Curious to see person who had lost
her nervous system, yet was able to en-
dure with fortitIde the heat and eI-
citement of a ballroom, l looked at
the speaker attentively. She was q
pretty little woman, with bright eyes,
black hair, rosy cheeks, and the coun-
terfeit presentment, at least, of excel
lent health. We concluded that she
thought it interesting to be a semi-in-
valid, like the schoolgirls of the last
generation, who used to eat slate-pen-
ellis and sip vinegar to make themselves
pale. While many ladies think that
sickness is interesting" and genteel.
there is no doubt that a morbid desire
for sympathy is at the bottom of half
the useless complaints in the world. 1t
is sweet to be pitied, and the cheapest
way to get pity is to tell over your
troubles. So there are some who are
forever retailing affections. Some of
them are real enough. But for all
human woes there are compensations,
unless we wilfuliy shut our eyes and
refuse to recognize them. One trial
may be ours, or two, or six, or seven,
yet we have Joy and glsdness to bal
ance it or them, and We are not crushed.
By needless iteration in the ears of the
kindest listener, we may double the ex-
tent of our misfortune. If speech is
silver, silence is golden, as regards the
inevitable vexations, defeats and calam-
tiles of life.

Ancient Hydraulics.

Father Secchi has written letter to
the French Academy of Sciences on the
hydraulics of the ancients. The mon
uments he mentiens have been mostly
discovered by him in the environs of
Rome. The first mentioned by him is
an aqueduct built at Alatri, 200 years
before theChristian era. Itissn inverted
syphon. its lowest point being 101 me-
tres below the orifice from which the
water flowed into the town /; so that it
sustains at its bottom weight of at
leat eleven atmospheres. The pipes of
this aqueduct are of earthenware,
buried in thick bed of concrete; they
were very firmly joined together along
a length of seven and a half miles.
This work SENS to have been the model
on which Vitruvius founded his de-
scription of syphon aqueducts. The
second remarkable relic of antiquity
found at the same place is a complete
system of drainage composed of eDOr-
nous porous stoneware pipes, metre
in length, fourteen centimetres in di-
ameter, and only two in thickness. This
was done to dry upa plain intended for
military manoeuvres. Next come in
clined planes expressly laid down on
substantial foundations and near the
top of mountain, in order to collect
rain water on a large surface, with
basin to purify it, and cisterns to pre-
serve it. This was done to provide
the town of Segni with drinking water.
Then follow contrivances of the an
clients for running the water filtering
through porous ground into the aque-
ducts, by turning the clayey strata to
account. They used also to rid water
of its carbonates of lime boiling. then
cooling it again, by applying snow to
the outside.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic

edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends

l wish to say few words more concern
ing sewage, - with reference to
the possibility that sewage from our city
may be pumped into the mains. sEy-
cry one who has used the hydrant water
during the past winter has complained
that the water tasted of tar. l under
stand that the engineer of the Water
Works admits that tar has been pumped
into the mains for the reason that it sticks
to the valves and prevents them from
working properly. IF tar be pumped into
the mains it must come from the Gas
Works sewer. IF sewage from the Gas
Works is pumped into the mains, should
like to hear some one explain why the
| sewage from Jefferson street sewer and all
the other sewers of the city will not be
pumped into the mains.
| Now, fellow. citizens, | have thus briefly
and imperfeetly discussed the question as
to the cause of the epidemic. | have en-
deavored to do it 10 spirit of candor and
fairness. The conclusion at which have
arrived is the result of honest convictions,
and the conclusion is. the cause OF the
epidemic is contamination of the hydrant
water by sewage.
If the opponents of this conclusion will
advance any other theory, and support il
with facts stronger than those with which
have supported mine, | will stand ready
to yield my convictions and adopt it.
The people of this city can't afford tc
stand any humbugging in regard to this
matter. They want to know the truth il
