What Thirteen Women Had to SAY Over
Fallen HOrse.


Thirteen women and one man oc-
cupied seats in street-ear coming
down town on Saturday. The Old Con-
ductor was just telling how half-a-
dozen of the boys had retired with for
tunes after an experience of only two
years on the line, when the driver
wound up his brake and brought the
car up with a jerk. The Old Con-
ductor showed up his sleeves, forced
his hat down hard on the back of his
head, cleared the back platform with a
bound, and ran up forward to see what
was up. All the women inside the car
jumped to their feet, and then the en-
tertainment began.
"Why, it's poor horse" exclaimed
one woman, looking around at the
others.
$50 it as" said another, sand he's
fallen down a hole
"Poor thing! and the cart has run
over him, too"
Eyes, and if he's fallen down hole
they ii have hard time to get him up. :"

'They can't: don't you see he's fall

men. Why don't they do something?
Just wish was man."
why don't they cut the harnesss
Did YOU erer?"
don't believe single one of them
has got knife! o, just hear that con-
ductor swearr'
Then there was peace in the car for
a moment. The harness was unbuckled
and the old conductor and half-a-dozen
men seized the cart and rolled it off the
track. The woman watched all this in
silence and the solitary man in the
corner went to sleep. Then they broke
out again:
Well, they hare done it at last
so, just see that man kick that poor,
poor horse. Isn't it just too brutal for
any tningE
Il do believe he is dead. They can't
make him stir one bit"
They will kick his ribs in just as
sure"
"See that auful man with the whip.

" There, now he is getting up. Well,

him"
They oughn't to let such looking
horse as that out. He's enough to scare
people"
g Vel. if I'd known he Vas such 9
shadow as that L wouldn't have beer
wasting my sympathy"
Just then the old conductor rang the
bell and the car started off down the
street with a rush. The man in the
corner woke up and the women settled
back in their seats and watched the
horse until he had been left behind out
of sight.-Pdiladelphia Times.

Mr.. Topnoody came home early
Wednesday evening. and as his wife had
not begun hersupper arrangements, he
sat down near her and said:

There is no doubt but that Oliver

strange stories fingered in the last Gen.

1t was said that he was in frequent
communication with one of the city
clergymen. and had many tough ar

and merits of Presbyterianism con-
trasted with INDEPENDENCE, or. as they
were at the time called. Separate Secta-
ries. The clergyman who had the for
titude to meet the Protector in dispute
was said to be Mr.. Patrick Gillespie,
then minister of the Outer High Kirk.
The Protector maintained that under
the system then prevailing in Scotland
the lower classes were left ignorant of
Scripture truth. To test the accuracy
of this. one day the Protector and his
ministerial friend took their position in
the Old Saracen Inn. at the east of the
Gallowgate. 1t was agreed that one of
the MANY lads who drove little carts
laden with Goals for the supply of the
citizens from the cOal-fields of Monk
lands should be called in unprepared.
and that the Protector should put any
question to the carter lad from the
Scriptures. The lad was brought in.
and the question put was: Tell me
who was the father of ADAM" Prompt

Useful Notes on Water.

One gallon of distilled water weighs Is
pounds, one gallon of sea water weighs
1892 pounds. Is cubic feet of water
weighs one hundred weight. SO cubic
feet weigh one ton. equal to 224 gallons:
one cubic foot contains 81 gallons.
(The English standard. or imperial gal
lon. is here referred toy The average
daily consumption of water in towns is
10 to 20 gallons per head. In pipes the
square of the diameter in inches equals
pounds weight of water per yard. En-
ample: An inch pipe holds nine pounds
per yard. One-hundredth inch of rain
is about one ton weight to the acre. A
nominal horse power for i boiler re-
quires cubic foot of water per hour.
Circular apertures are most effective
for discharging water. since they have
less FRACTIONAL surface for the same area.
The reHd cOHtrGctd is the best form of
orifice for discharging water. The
ordinary speed to rum pump is so to
100 feet per minute. The pressure in
pounds per square inch of a column of
water is the height of 4 column in feet
multiplied by .53i or, for an approx
nation, ] pound pressure per square
inch for each foot of height. Water, in
flowing through an aperture, has a
velocity equal to that acquired by a
heavy body falling freely from a height
equal to the distance between the
center of the aperture and the surface
of the water. Doubling the diameter
of an aperture increases the flow four
fold. A man can raise water from
well ten feet deep at the rate of thirty
gallons per minute. The approximate
time occupied in discharging equal
quantities of water under equal heads
through pipes of equal length varies
from so for a straight line, 200 for a
curve to 30 for right angle..-Nanu-

and Afghans to curdle milk. But its
complete efficacy was not demonstrated
