CHAT BY THE WAY.

THE idle man travels so slowly that
even poverty overtakes him at the first
turn of the road.
THE best way to cover your tracks so
that no man can find you out is not to
do the deed.
If A man must be very economical it
will be found to be good rule to go
without ones dinner and take tea with
fliend.
Mr. BLAINE was so cool with his an
swers to Mr.. Belmont's jury questioning
that it might be we'll to call him chilli
Blaine.
We impatiently whip a horse for
shying at a shadow, and yet we are
constantly doing the same thing our
selves.
1T is always well to accept the inev-
liable with equanimity. the old prov
erb runs, "Since my house must be
burned 1 will warm myself at it."
THERE'S only one gate through which
gold can't go, and that's the gate of
heaven. It is pity, too, because in
getting gold some people lose every
thing, and when they get to the gate il
the money can't go through there won't
be enough of anything else to make it
worth while to continue the journey.
Since a mere nothing can't go to heaven,
some folks will have to camp out on the
outside.-NeW York Herald.

WIT AND WISDOM.
TEXAS SIFTINGS.


WHEN a stranger in San Antonio asks
the names of the leading citizens, he is
handed a newspaper supplement con-
tanning the names of the delinquent
tax payers, whose property is offered
for sale.
An exchange says the army worm
has made its appearance in Dallas
County, and is eating up all the young
corn. As young Texas corn will kill
army mules with the collie, that granger
insect, the army worm, has our sympa-
thies.
The Chicago Times intimates that
there is deception in the killingof Jesse
James. 1t may be so, but we hardly
think that the man who personated
Jesse was actuated by selfish or per-
sonal motives. He appears to have
acted in perfect good faith.
AN old gripsack belonging to jesse
James sold at auction for $50, when it
was really only worth about fifty cents
in Houston city securities. AT first
glance, this transaction reminds one of
Treasurer Lubbock's purchase of Texas
bonds. We are at a loss to account for
such an extraordinary price being given
for the gripsack, unless Jesse James
used to carry his clues in it. 1t will be
remembered that whenever he robbed
train or bank, the detectives we're I'M
able to discover any clue. He never
left any clues behind, and the inference
is that Jesse carried the clues off with
him in gripsack. Very likely this
gripsack was the one he carried them
off in.

A Fish Story.

When the Cardinal de Benis was the
French ambassador to Italy his steward
achieved celebrated triumph. The
cardinal was TO give great dinner, at
which the chief dish was to be man.
moth fish. Instead of one fish two ar
rived, and each was of equally wonder
full size. The price was SO high that
the steward conceived he could make
credit for the cardinal out of the incl
dent. Monsieur" he said, "never
in Rome since the days of Lucullus
have such monsters been seen. But l
have my plan. Permit me to do as l
please with these fish," The cardinal
therefore gave him carte blanche. So
at the beginning of the feast one of the
gigantic fish was brought in. The
guests, seeing it carried triumphantly
through the doors, were loud IN their
testimony of appreciation, when sud
denly the two servants who supported
the huge plate upon which the fish lay
dropped it upon the floor Il shiyered
to atoms, scattering tho fragments over
the fish, and running it. One can
imagine the ordinations, the lamenta-
tions. The steward seemed to be the
most overcome of all. 81 viii go" he
said, "and see if it is possible to remedy
this accident" and at the very moment
when every one was crying out that no
other fish like that to which the disaster
had come could ever lie found, they
saw, to the general stupefaction, the
second fish, the exact counterpart OF
the first, appear, and twas placed upon
the table before the debris of the other
had been removed. 1.-THE effect, says
d'Estourmet, who tells the anecdote,
was immense"

NEW YORK's WATER SUP

NEW YORK'S WATER SUPPLY.
The inhabitants of New York city are again
complaining about the inadequacy of their
water supply, and with reason. For several
years it has bsen perceived that the city was
growing beyond the capacity of the Croton
aqueduct. Two years ago the people of New
York used 95, 900, 900 gallons of water day
which is all the aqueduct can carry, and of
course their capacity to use water has not de-
creased since that time. Consequently the
insuficiency of the water supply makes itself
felt more sharply as time goes on. 1t is esti-
mated that in two years from this time $780,,
100000 gallons day will be needed.
Something will have to be done, and that
soon, if New York is to have water enough
Partial relief is expected from the Bronx
river squsduct, but that will not be complet-
ed for about two years. And whom it is COM
pleted it will add to the supply only 15,ooo,-
900 gallons day, which. with the Croton
water, will not be enough. Two years ago
bill for new Croten aqueduct and a commits
sion on that subject was passed by the Legis-
Iature, but Governor Cornell vetoed it, Those
who favor this plan say that $14, 600. 900 will
provide reservoir in the Croton valley hold
ing 80, 600, 900, 900 gallons of water and an
aqueduct carrying to New York $50, OOO, 900
gallons a day. Besides that enormous sup
ply-almost three times as much as the pres
emit supply-they would have the pres
ent aqueduct, which it is not proposed
to destroy, that in case of needed
repairs either aqueduct could be emptied. A
good water supply would then be assured for
the next hundred years, for it is said that
there is enough water in the Croton valley,
if properly retained, to give five times the
present supply. In support of this it is
stated that while only 95, OOO,OOO gallons a
day have been running into New York
through the Croton aqueduct an average sur
plus of 500, 100000 gallons day has been
running over the dam into the Hudson river
But whatever is done the people of New
York seem destined to be short of water for
two or three years longer at least. They
will, therefore, have to economic in its use.
1t is probable that nearly or quite half the
water which now runs into New York is
wasted. In European cities where a good
| water supply is not easily obtainable the in
| habitants get along with half the quantity
that New Workers use. But New York is
/ SO situated that her inhabitants can have
| water enough to use freely and they ought
| to have it. It will probably not be long be-
| fore measures are taken to secure an adequate
! supply.

critical exposition of some one masterpiece
belonging to the history of German philoso-
ply. The aim in each case will be to fur
nish clear and attractive statement of the
special substance and purport of the original
authors argument, to interpret and elucidate
the same by reference to the historic and
acknowledged results of philosophic inquiry,
to give an independent estimate of merits
and deficiencies, and especially to show, az
occasion may require, in what way German
thought contains the natural complement, or
the much needed corrective of British spec
ulation. Among those who will contribute
to the series is President Porter. The first
