WATER FAMINE IN READING.-Not-
withstanding the fact til at in 1872 the
water from Ohlinger Creek was intro
duced into the Reading, Pa, water de-
partment, at cost of over 100000, the
water supply is now extremely low, and
the city is threatened with serious
famine. The Eagle reminds the peo-
pie that it opposed the introduction Of
the Ohlinger stream in 1872, on account
of its insufficient capacity, but contents
itself for the present with this 81 told

any measure OF relief. The water sup
ply, in nearly all cities, appears to be .
source of trouble and cost, though we OF

that our water troubles are at an end.

Types of Character on Railroad Trains

There are certain general types of character which are observable on al- most every railway train. and with which we are so familiar that we pay them little attention. There is the man of many bundles, a family man Ot course, who bears in his countenance the pain ful consciousness of having lost some thing or forgotten something, and who, in a desperate endeavor to recover a parcel which has slipped down from one arm, scatters upon the car floor an as sortment of parcels which escape from the other, and are promptly trodden upon by some nasty wretch behind him. There is the man who is always late, and who, dropping breathless into a seat after a brief race with the retreating train, wipes his perspiring brow and re- cites to his neighbor the circumstances of his detention and hurry. There is the nervous woman, who after having studied all the time tables, scrutiniZed the placards on the cars, and harrassed the ticket agent to the verge of insanity, atf1ictS her tellOw-paSSengers with shrill and tremulous inquiries as to whether the train runs through to Albany, and whether the car she is in is the ght one, Hapless and careworn individual! Smal good does the journey do her, for the train has hardly started before she dis covers that she has lost her ticket, and it is not until she is well along toward her destination and has goaded the conduc- tor into 8 frenzy and herself into tears that she finds the bit of pasteboard in some unexplored recess of her travelling bag, where she had placed it for safe keeping. There is the woman who will have the window open, and the irasci- ble old gentleman immediately behind her who will have it shut; there is the market woman with gigantic baskets odorous of herring and onions and other delicacies; there is the man who sleeps the sleep of intoxicatiOn, and who yielding only an inarticulate response tc the protests of the conductor, and dis. closing about his person no trace of 8 ticket, is presently bundled off by the brakemen; and there is the multitudinous infant, weary, wide-awake and vocifer- ous, an object of loathing and detesta tion to every bachelor in the car.-B0S' tO1 Journal

A Little Heroine.

Deeds of heroism may be performed in various spheres of life. Conditions and circumstances try the human heart, and spur the soul to noble achievements. We are prone to look too exclusively to the incidents of wars fr examples of truly heroic action, but while more op- portunities occur upon the field of battle to develop real bravery it must not be forgotten that under many other circum- stances in life human nature is subjected to equally as fair tests. It is our pleas ure to relate to our readers an incident in which the noblest courage was mani- fested-the heroine being little Maggie Geddes, daughter of D. J. Geddes of this city, aged but eight years. MT. Geddes is well known from his connection with the Alamo mill, located near the river in the northern suburbs. Last Saturday evening little Maggie and several play mates were amusing themselves in the back yard of their parents residence, which is situated very near the mill. Passing just to the rear of the residence is the race way, along which briskly courses the water that propels the large wheel and whirls the mill stones. The water, as intimated, flows very rapidly along this channel at depth of about five feet and the banks on either side are of a perpendicular height of from ten to twelve feet. While the children, as re- marked, were playing in the back yard of MT. Geddes' residence, one of them happened to look over the high bank into the raceway and observe something floating along which was taken to be a chicken. The discovery was at one an nounced by the discoverer, and among the first to reach the brink to see the supposed chicken was little Maggie Geddes. But the floating object did not appear like a chicken to the searching eyes of the little girl, who recognized i at once to be the body of neighbor's child, and seeing that it still lived, in stantly and without a word of warning 2 over the steep bank she went and down with a splash into the deep, rushing cur rent. Having been taught to swIm, Ilitte Maggie exhibited the most perfect cOolness, and so seizing the drowning child by one of its hands she swam with it to the shore and held fast until aid to enable her to reach terra firma ar rived. Had little Maggie delayed to re- move her clothing, or even gave ar alarm, the floating child would have passed under the great wheel that ope- rated the mill, where it would have been crushed and mangled and consigned tc a watery tomb in the doep river but q few feet farther on. While little Maggie seemed very proud over her successful rescue of the child, she did not boast O it-she only hinted that she had done what was right. She proved herself {: heroine, indeed.-Sa7a Antonio (Ter.) E;; nTPSS
