CAMP No. 16, NEAR ALrENA, |
Men, March 8, 1888. (

w. ii. Brink. Esq.-Dear Sir ! see by
the FREE Press that Mr.. Algcr is going for
the water works. OF course 1t is none of my
concern, but feel some interest in the water
department. Perhaps you have not consid-
cred the following point. When was in
charge very large percentage of the total
water pumped never entered into actual con
sumption at all. 1t escaped by Underground
leakage. used 10 SIT up nights, you may
remember, and make observations at the
reservoir when the pumps were not running,
and at such hours US very few were likely to
be using watei. AT that time C79N | think
the water was lost at rate of nearly 80 per
cent of all pumped. To avoid this | put II
meter in at corner Pearl and Locust streets
aud by its use tiled to discover where the loss
was think spent about week of nights
at this work. | found IA few leaks OF large
amount principally one at gas works. aud
came to the conclusion that the loss Of water
was almost entirely due to very many small
!, AXIS, too numerous TO pay for repairing.
The only cost to the city was the extra fuel,
which | simated to be less than the cost OF
repairing the leaks SO hard to find. should
have carried the investigation further if the
days had not been SO busy, and | did not
think that the best results possible would
have justified hiring an extra set of men to
hunt up the leaks.

The Girl Who Giggles.

The girl who giggles is strictly an
American institution. She is found in
all stations high and low, though as a
rule she is more frequently found among
what is known in polite circles as the
upper classes. She developes usually
at the age of fifteen, reaches her prime
at twenty-five and approaches the ''sere
and Yellow at about thirty, when,
though before she was all but unbear-
able, she becomes q positive nuisance
and though usually designated as
SIXTEEN" resembles full-blown feline.
On first acquaintance her infirmity
does not strike you, but as the intimacy
ripens the sad misfortune becomes pain
fully apparent and the feeling of pity
which first affects one is superseded by
that of annoyance. If one is of nerv-
Gus disposition every tendon of his frame
u, is kept at high tension and rendered
painfully weak by unconsciously keep
ing on the qati viUe for her next giggle.
Let her be unaware of your presence
and be annoying some one else and the
effect is just the same. 7 All that is nee
essary is that she shall be within hear
ing distance, and try as hard as one
may to pay no attention to her the effect
is just the same.
A milder form of the complaint is
what is known as snickeringpo or smirk-
ing, and though not asannoying as gig
Cling is almost as bad. Whether or not
this unfortunate malady is contagiou
is not definitely known, but that it is
undoubtediyon the increase can not be
doubted 10 the scientist as well as
the medical practitioner the subject
opens wide field for investigation
J er be neglected, btt creteiVef That aten-
ton which the necessities Of the case de-
