Mr.. Gamble thought hat every tax
payer ought to have water at his COM
mand, but deemed it advisable to await
the fate of the above bill.
Alderman Grove, of the water COM
mittee, spoke of the ACCESSIBILITY of sub
uniting the question to a vote OF the
people and thought that the tax pay
ers were not all present at the meeting.
Mr.. Grove, as q member of the council,
was not in favor of issuing bonds and
never had been. Mr.. Grove also called
attention to the fact of but one outlet
for the water from the tanks into the
mains and predicted possible serious
trouble in the future.
Governor N. Edmunds said that the
people had 30 much confidence in the
council that they did not deem it neces-
sary for them to attend the meeting, as
they knew that the council would do
the right thing. Gov. Edmunds also
favored the extension OF the system with
the current funds as fast as possible and
thought that for the immediate neoes-
sites there should be a levy of two or
three mills OF property adjoining the
proposed necessary extensions. He was
in favor of paying for the work as fast
as it was done and did not favor the
issuing of bonds.
Gov. Edmnnds was the last speaker
and after his remarks there came a lull
in the discussion. Gov. Edmunds then
moved that the voice of the meeting be
declared against issuing bonds. The
motion was seconded and carried, and
the meeting, On motion, adjourned.

HumOr in Children,

At what age is q sense of humor usual
" developed3 1t very rarely exists in
children under twelve. The funny
things that small children say are not
funny to them; the odd and startling
questions they ask have to them no ele-
ment of the incongruous. 1t is usually
only when they lose the faculty of max.
ing cdd or deep observations that they
begin to see any humor in them. Much
of their apparent brightness comes from
ignorance of the true relation of things.
A couple of incidents illustrate this. A
gentleman in Massachusetts who was
born for soldier, but had never the op-
portunity to indulge himself in this ca
pacity, was made member of the Gov
ernor's staff. He at once procured q
uniform that for gold and gorgeousness
surpassed anything ever seen in the mill
tia. Arrlyed in this dazzling costume,
he called one evening at house to ac-
company a young lady to reception.
The little girl of the family, who was
above-stairs watching the progress OF
her sisters toilet, ran to the balustrade
and peeped over when the bell rang,
and saw this Rcsplendent Being enter
the hall.
"Who is it, Joe?" cried the sister.
~ dom know" replied the apprecia-
tive chiId-'I don know, but l think it
is God"
The other incident may be called more
subjective A lady one day drove to the
house of a clergyman who served large
parish, and of course was frequently sent
for to attend funerals. While the car
riagc was waiting, the coachman took
up one of the children of the family, q
boy of three years, aud drove round the
square. When he was set down, the
boy marched into the parlor, and, by
way of acknowledgment, said to the
lady: "Aunt Lu, I've been ridin' in your
funeral. l."-Harler.

The Sailor Fish.

In the warm waters of the Indian
Ocean a strange mariner is found that
has given rise to many curious tales
among the natives of the coast there
about. They tell of a wonderful sail
often seen in the calm seasons preceding
the terrible hurricanes that course over
those waters. Not breath then dis
turbs the water, the sea rises and falls
like vast sheet of glass; suddenly the
sail appears, glistening with rich purple
and golden hues, and seemingly driven
along by mighty wind. On it comes,
quivering and sparkling, as if bedecked
with gems, but only to disappear as If by
magic. Many travellers had heard with
unbclief this strange tale; but one
day the phantom craft actually appeared
to the crew of an Indian steamer,
and as it passed by under the
stern of the vessel, the queer ''sail' was
seen to belong to gigantic sword fish,
now known as the sailor-ish. The sail
was really an enormously developed dor.
sal fin that was over ten feet high, and
was richly colored with blue and irides.
cent tints; and as the fish swan along on
or near the surface of the water, this
great fin naturally waved to and fro, so
that, from a distance, it could easily be
mistaken for curious sail.
Some of these fishes attain length OF
over twenty feet, and have large, cres-
cent-shaped tails and long, sword-like
snouts, capable of doing great damage.
In the Mediterranean Sea a sword-fish
is found that also has high fin, but it
does not equal the great sword fish of
the Indian Ocean. Nicholas

The Res Sting.

The hive and its inmates afford, per-
haps, q more interesting field for micro
scopic research than anything else in the
whole insect kingdom. Take the bees
sting; why, that alone might occupy all
the rest of this pap r. The sheath makes
the first wound, and inside it, so man
aged that theT lEclosc tube-likc space
down which the poison runs, are two
darts, all built in su:h strictly mechan-
ical way that Mr.. Cheshire says they re-
mind him of the guide rods Of steam
engine. The poison is gummy, but is
prevented from clogging the machine by
q gland that secretes lubricatlng on.
The queens sting is bigger than the
workers'-droncs have none--but it is
practically balble:s, and can therefore be
easily brought away instead OF being lett
in the wound and causing the death OF
the precious owner.
It is formidable weapon, the sheatn
80 hard that it turns the finest razor edge;
but a queen never stings except IN con-
test with another queen; she may De
handled with inpunity. OF the worker
it is mistake to say that it always leaves
its sting in the wound and dies from the
loss. If it generally does so, the fault
often lies in yolr own impatience; bear
it like a hero and the bee will work its
sting round and round till it is able to
withdraw it without impeachment. Of
course you get pierced deeper and deeper,
but then consider that the creatures life
is saved by your suffering. .--A0 the Year

The PapabOtte.

The papabotte is bird which makes
its appearance in Southern Louisiana
about May, and abounds until Septem-
ber. It seems to belong to the plover
family, though the resemblance is not
complete at all points. However, it is a
bird aboat the size of woodcock, with
grayish plunage and bill short and
hard, which makes its appearance about
the time the Cantharis vesicatoria (Span-
ish ny) begins to depredatc upon the
vegetable gardens. These flies destroy
the foliage of the potato and the tomato,
and other vegetables. They appear IN
countless myriads, coming no one knows
whence, but leaving behind them ter
riblc record of devastation. On these
insects the papabotte preys, with I'M
measurable voracity, and grows SO lat
that when it falls before the gun OF the
sportsman it bursts like a ripe apricot:
The papabotte is wonderfully shy OF
sportsinen, but will allow n quadruped
or vehicle to come very near, and ne
who rides or drives may thus choose his
own time and opportunity.

whom the appointment came, the who.e
of his salary. But when he himself left
the island, he took with him sixty thous..
and dollars. the net profit of two years
service in the custom house.
Not only the head of departments, but
all the subordinates, including the SER
wants, think they are at liberty to make
the most they can out of their official
positions. A Cuban physician and
savant. with a large practice was ap
pointed to repre- ent the island at the
Washington Medical Congress. TIE
Secretary who wrote to inform him of
his appointment, added that he would
be allowed two hundred dollars for his
personal expenses. The physician de-
clined the appointment, much to the au-
noyance of the captain-gencral. who, on
meeting him few days after, inquired
why he had refused to accept the honor.
III could not afford. sir, to .eave my
large practice and pay my own expenses
for the meagrc sum of two hundred dol
lars" answered the doctor.
"There must be a mistake somewhere,
rcioined the captain general, opening his
eyes very wide; 'for remember that
the amount of the grant was two thou
sand dollars"
An inquiry revealed the fact that the
clerks in the captain generals office had
agreed to otTer the physician two hun

David saw it all, and rose from his seat
painting and trembling.
"Sit down! Sit down., Kershaw!"
said Kitchener, putting his hand on his
shoulder David shook it off.
"No; I've been a fool, but I've done

"Oh no.m said Mrs. Bcllew, looking
back with supercilious smile. "Pray

Tavid left the box, and rushing home,
stunned with rage and shame, tore of
the stolen clothes and carried them to
Dir. Bellows house. The next day
Mitchere er, who had a good deal of kind
ness and tact, arranged the matter. The
pawnbroker, who was a receiver OF
stolen goods, was forced to give up the
plate, jewelry and David's watch. The
thieves were discovered and punished.
Mrs. Kitchener, still loyal to her old
friend, sent David an invitation to ball
the next week. He declined it. II have

wheat growing on the sage brush land

the experiment was partial failure. but
