The Water supply OF Cities.


copiOus and constant supply OF pure water
Is source of comfort, luxury, safety, and
health. and has become a necessity Of modern
civilization. The most refined and cultivated
nations have always been large consumers of
water. With the Orientals cleanliness Is akin
to goodness. Mohammed directed disciple to
commemorate his mother by digging a well,
and Jacobs well is one Of the oldest relics OF
antiquity. The baths of Diocietian and the
aqueducts Of Rome, with the reservoirs of Je-
riisafem and Damascus. are colossal triumphs
OF engineering. Yet, despite the magnitude of
the water-wOrks of the Orentais. Greeks, and
Romans, and their lavish supply for public uses
and in the houses of the rich, the ancients seem
to have had no conception Of the modern use of
water as sanitary necessity to the community
at large. Furthermore, many modern applica-
tons OF water, as for fire service, sprnklinp
streets and lawns, flushing sewers and to sun
ply manufactures. iaundries, hotels, elevators,
steam-engines. aud railroads, were wholly un-
known to them The great cities of the past
We're supplied from huge rOck-hewn cisterns for
receiving and restoring rain or by aqueducts
whlch often extended for miles, spanning VAL
leys and rivers, and conveying a daily supply
for each inhabtant often three or four times
greater than We can now provide. With the in
PRODUCTION Of Christianity. and owing largely
to the immoral practices connected with public
bathing. the latter habit was discouraged by re-
sonai cleanliness became exceptional and the
nithy habits OF the masses undoubtedly pro-
NOTED the spread Of the plague and other great
medieval epidemics. Dublin was one Of the
nrst modern cities TO introduce public water
supply. This occurred in the thirteenth CEN
tury. when In most cities Of the European con-
tlnent the supply was provided by street car
riers A curious regulation provided that the
pipes connecting with individual dwellings
should not exceed the size of goose-quill,
which indicates the value put upon the water.
London did not have public supply until some
400 years later. and then through the munif-
cence and public spirit OF some lord mayor or
sheriff anxious to distinguish his term of office
by comforting so great a boon upon his constt-
uehts. In 1852 Dutch engineer erected
Water-whee at London bridge the first pump
ing machinery used in England. The earliest
efforts to supply Paris with water were under
the patronage OF religious bodies the oldest
aqneduct having belonged to the Abbey of st.
Laurent. Paris depended upon the Seine and
small aqueducts until within few years.

An Early Verdict.

From the E. berton (Ga.) South.
The superior court was in session in one of
the lower counties of the circuit, and the
solicitor, with the counsel for the defense, was
engaged In the selection Of a jury for the trial
Of man charged with murder. As usual In
such cases some difficulty was experienced, and
the court was getting tired of the tedious pro-
ceedings.
Call the next juror. Mr. Clerk" said the
solicitor for the hundredth time.
The clerk called, and an old man, with an
honest face and suit of blue lean clothes rose
In his place. and the solicitor asked the follow
Ing customary questions:
Have you, from having seen the crime COM
mitted OF having heard any Of the evidence de-
livered under oath, formed or expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the
prisoner at the barr"
mo. sir"
sis there any bias or prejudice resting on
barr" Wv
''None, sir"
'.Is your mind perfectly impartial between the
'.It ia"
Are you opposed to capital punishment"
'Fm not"
All the questions had been answered. and the
court was congratulating itself on having an
other juror, and the solicitor, in solemn tones.
said
Juror, look upon the prisoner; prisoner look
upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spectacles, and peer
lngly gazed at the prisoner for full half minute,
when he turned his eyes toward the court and
earnestly said:
Judge I'll be condemned If don't believe
| he's guilty."
1t is useless to add that the court was cOnsld-
erab!y exasperated at having lost o juror. but
the more humorously inclined had q good laugh
out of the old mans premature candor.
