although the past severe and protrscted
winter was accompanied by unususl
foods and storms, which destroyed much
property and materially increased the
expenditures for maintaining the same,
it WAS noticeable that substantial i'm
provement in the property of the road, in
which government has direct interest,
had been made, and in general the re-
ports rendered indicate Q marked in

THE GUN LAFAYETTE KIssED.-At the
Watervliet Arsenal is 12-pounder brass can
non with history. 1t was captured at the
siege of Yorktown by Lafayette, who nearly
lost his life in the effort, so nearly, indeed,
that solid shot whizzed between the Marquis
aud the piece, striking the cannon itself,
while the prize was being dragged to ouI
lines. The indentation made in the cannon
by the shot still remains, and in 1924 served
to identify the gun when Lafayette visited
Troy and the arsenal. Mr.. johnson, who is
employed at the arsenal states that he helped
to row Lafayette across the river here fifty
seven years ago, and was present when the
venerable Frenchman Rugged and kissed the
gun-a reminder to him of his field service in
the war oftbe Revolution. When the news
of Latayette's death was reeeiyed at Water
vliet Arsenal in 1884, the old gun was fired
half-hourly from sunrise to sunset-Al6any

WATER SUPPLY OF PARIS The very first
thing that strikes an American in Paris with
establishment is the meagreness of the water
supply il. the houses. You look for the faucets
which supply your rooms with hot and cold
water, as at home, but you don't find them.
A chamber maid pours out about two quarts
in diminutive pitcher, and this is expected
to last you for purposes of ablution twenty
four hours. And this with the Seine running
directly through the city. The houses are
from five to seven stories high but all the
water used in them, for all purposes, is carried
up to the top by men. Ny landlord told me 1t
was cheaper to have 1t so carried than to put
plumbing in his house and pay the water tax.
And we don't use much of 1t anyway he
remarked, and he was right. STILL aecustom-
ed, as / have always been, to the use of a
great deal of it, it took me some time to fall
nto their ways. Pure water is a very good
thing to have plenty of. But it's all matter
of habit, suppose. A man can get to be a
Frenchman in time, If he tries hard enough
Nothing is impossible, where there's a will
and stubborn purpose, but to keep ones self
clean with pint or thereabouts of water per
day looks rather difficult to novice. -Nasoy
