On Board the Evening Boat.

On the lower forward deck of the
Staten island ferry-bOat which left New
York at 7:10 O'Clock last evening was a
group of seven young women. Most of
them were respectfully but not ex-
pensively clad. What they lacked in
personal adornmeut, however, ,thep made
up in vivacity and good humOr. LII the
party was one girl of not more than
eighteen summers. She wore loose
fitting gown of white flannel. 1t was
cut with rolling collar, which gave a
white throat. One foot peeped from
under the soft folds of her skirt, show
ing dainty, low cut shoe and the mer-
est suspicion of a neatly turned
ankle. Her hands were small
and delicately fashioned. Her face
was rarely pretty one. Her eyes were
deep blue, frlnged with long dark
lashes. Her nose tip-tllted but piquant; /;
her mouth scarlet cupid's bow. A
jaunty sailor hat rested lightly on her
reddish golden curlS. Every man on
that part of the boat was looking at her,
but she did not seem to notice their
glances of admiration. She was listen
ing to a conversation carried on by her
companions.
''What do you come down here for,
Kate?" asked one of the girls, little
thing in brown, whose lips were curved
in perpetual smile.
''Oh, for the fun of the thing, Jessie.
What do you come for?" said Kate.
''Why, for the delightful sail, of
course"
''I come for excitement" drawled
another girl.
''And | to escape from the hot city,"
said another.
'And 1 for companionship, put in a
fifth.
When all but the beautiful creature in
the sailor costume had spoken they
tnrned to her and asked: "And what
do you come for, Marjorie?" Marjorie
looked at them with her lovely, limpid,
blue eyes. and parting her delicious ruby
lips, said, in voice like cross between
a rip-saw and down-east auctiOneer:
'Well, girls, you can bet your sweet
boots, Pm after the rocks every time. |
come for caSh-S1 night, and | wish to
thunder kiralfy would pay more, you
bet | do, an doncher forget it,"
When Marjorie ceased speaking there
was painful silence. broken only BY
the dismal tOlling of the bell buoy near
Robbins reef light. The men all looked
another way, and somehow felt uncOm-
Portable for the rest of the trip. When
st. George was reached the beautiful
Marjorie and her companions tripped off
to tread the may dance in the wake of
Emperor Nero's triumphal car.
There's certainly moral to this
story, but the writer hasn't been able to
discover exactly what it is.

Miss Clara Webb last Tuesday even
ing entertained the members of the
Star Lawn Tennis club and a number
of other friends. The evenings enter
tainment was devoted to lawn tennis

Misses Sternberg, Breitung, Alta and
Martha Clark, Emma Kennedy, Addie
Door and A. johnson.
Wednesday evening Mrs. E. Church
entertained number of her friends at
Minnehaha Falls. The party was con-
veyed to the falls by large bus and
refreshments were served in the pavil-

ute. During the interval from 4:O5 to
$50 p. m. the flow through the pipes
was entirely into the district, and was
10.6974 cubic feet per second, or 4SOO.6
gallons per minute. Estimating the or
dinary consumption as per test at 1746.S
gallons, there was consumed by the nine
steamers in service 3053.S gallons per
minute. During the interval between
6:15 and :55 p. m. the flow into the dis
trict was 9.9912 cubic feet per second,
the flow out of the district 0.OS69 cubic
feet per second, and net consumption
9.S043 cubic feet per second, or 4445.05
gallons per minute. Estimating domes-
tic consumption of the district and West
st. Paul as before. 1,746.S gallons; there
would remain as water consumed by
the eight steamers, 2,699.25 gallons per
minute.
Summing up the results of the lnves-
tigation, the capacity of the water mains
in the business district is ample for the
most exacting demands of the fire de-
partment as now equipped, but should
the number or capacity of the steamers
be materially increased. then larger
mains, as pointed out, should be intro

A GIVEN LENGTH OF TIME


A GIVEN LENGTH OF TIME.
More than twenty engines could not
be located at ciSterns or hydrants
within this district to advantage. There
is special advantage In massing en-
gines near fire when the supply of
water is taken from cisterns, and that
is, with large cisterns, and two small
or one large branch from the main to
the clStern, two, and sometimes three
steamers can be located at one cistern,
while with hydrants of the kind in use
in your city, not more than one steamer
can well be supplied from a single hy-
drant; or with hydrant at each street
intersection, four steamers can be
with large cisterns, eight or more
steamers can be located within the
same limits. The advantage is clear:
The nearer the steamers can be brought
with safety to the fire, the shorter will
be the lines of hose and more efficient
the streams, and the larger the number
OF steamers within given radius of the
fire, more water will be discharged from
the nozzles in a given length of time,
and the fire
Loss WILL BE SMALLER.
Assuming not more twenty steamers
at work at one time in the business dis
trict, then the substitution of twelve
inch pipes for the six-inch pipes in Third
and Wacouta streets, and for the four
inch pipe in Fifth street, will furnish an
ample supply of water for all extraordi-
nary demands.
The flow into the district during the
interval between 1 80 and 3:55 p. m. was
5.13 cubic feet per second. and the flow
out of the district 1.237s cubic feet, show

THE WORLD.

A playground-oft with clouded skies,
That DER the rosebuds weep,
Where little troubles take the weight
OF sorrows far more deep;
Where loved toys break in tiny hands
Sad symbols of the time
When hope shall cheat, and joys depart
In life's swift-passing prime.
A battlefield where forces meet,
And unseen hosts contend,
With trHees all so short, they seem
With the wild strife to blend;
Strife that leaves none Of us unScathed,
Where'er the mastery be;
But who, till the Great Day, can tell
With whom is victory!
A graveyard, where ON every side
Pale monuments arise,
To show how brief is human life,
How vain is all we prize.
A graveyard filed by memory,
Where panthoms lightly tread,
But each one points with finger raised
To blue skies overhead.i

DURING THE EARLY MORN.
The outfit consists of big box wagon
that looks like an Overgrown hen-cOop,
and two or three men to act as whip
pers-in'' to coax the unwary dog to his
fate. The box has two doors in one end
and is lattice work on all sides. The
hunters themselves are furnished with
a piece of rope ending in slip moose.
Some of them have the rope attached to
the end of a stick. five or six feet long,
The usual method of catching a dog
is to gently approach their game,
quieting his mind by assurance
of friendship for himself and
and regard for his family. When within
reach the loop is thrown over his un-
suspecting head, and by means of a
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-29

gentle pressure on his windpipe they
generally persuade his canineship to ac-
company them. The dog is taken to
the wagon and unceremoniously
dumped in to mingle with those already
captured. At the end of each day, or
when a wagon is full, the dogs are
driven out to the fertilizing works and
drowned or otherwise disposed Of. A
good dog has one chance for his
life. After he has been caught he is
confiseated to the city, but any person
who pays the necessary 50 license can
take the dog. Almost every day some
gOod-loOking dog escapes in that way.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-29

the board of fire commissioners con-
cluded to obtain an experts opinion
on the subject, and secured the services
of J. W. Hill, of Cincinnati, o. He
was requested to furnish answers to the
following queries:
First. Is the supply of water fur
nished by st. Paul water mains suffi-
steam fire engines-ten Q0)?
Second. What size mains would be
necessary to supply fifteen Q5), twenty
(20), and twenty-fOur (2D engines?
Third. What is your opinion regard
ing the use of cisternS for fire purposes?
FOurth-What is the number of gal
Ions delivered from our engines per
minute?
Fifth-What is your opinion regard
ing the position of our hydrants?
SiXth-Are the present connections
between the mains and hydrants of suf-
| ficient size? If not, what would be the
proper size to use?
A careful investigation and practi-
cal test was made by Mr.. Hill and the
report made of his observations and eX-
animation was in substance as follows:
I made an investigation of the capac-
ity of the water mains in the business
district of st. Paul, bounded by Robert
strees and Broadway, and Fifth street
and levee, and have found it to be sup
piled through
TEN LINES OF PIPE.
One of sixteen inches in diameter. one
of twelve inches in diameter, six of six
inches in diameter and two of four
inches in diameter.
Estimating with velocities of flow of
three feet for the four-inch pipe, four
feet for the six-inch pipe and five feet
per second for the twelve and sixteen
inch pipes, these pipes have capacity
of 1900 gallons per minute. The con-
sumption of water by the present ten
steam fire engines, under favorable cir
cumstances, would place at fourteen
streams from one and One-quarter-inch
smooth nOzzles, with pressure of
eighty pounds at the nozzle.
The capacity of the mains in this dis
trict is fully equal to the ordinary con-
sumption, and the requirements of the
present equipment of steam fire en-
gines when the engines are massed to

IL Illo ONl@1 hOHE.
There is novelty in catching dogs
sometimes, especially big dogs. 1t hap
pens, occasionally, that the catchers
sneak upon some unoffending brute
and by profuse assurances succeeded in
placing the moose about his neck. Just
as they are congratnlating themselves
on furnishing the city with another
100 pounds of dog the animal sees an
other one down the street that he wants
to commune with and he starts off in a
hurry; And then, fancying he feels
something dragging behind him, he
breaks into run. Those misguided
catchers, who fancied they had another
dog, go sailing through space, brushing
the dirt from their trousers and wiping
their honest brows on the curbings.
When they are finally deposited, they
find the bulk of their wardrobe has
been left on the way. They always see
the same moral, and that is to be care
full about tackling big dogs.

Awake, sweetheart, arisel
Nights fieecy clouds are fieeting
Across the morning skies;
The golden sun is greeting
The hilltops with its rays,
Their crests with crimson streaking;
The best hours of the day
Are when the morn is breaking.
Arise we'll HE away!
The skylarks DER us singing
A welcome to the day,
Above the meadows ringing,
Where youth and beauty seeks
The pure, fresh breath of morning;
Twill fan thy rosy cheeks,
Thy fair young face adorning.
Well wander thro' the bowers
A wreath for thee entwlning:
The dew drops on the flowers
Like beautious pearls shining;
Violets white and blue.
With pansies weaved together;
The daisies modest hue,
Mid sprigs OF blooming heather.
Awake sweetheart. arise,
The days newborn spleudor
Grows radient in the skies.

Their c-ests with sunlight slreaking;

do not think it is possible, however
many steamers you may have, to mass
at any one fire in this district more than
twenty engines to advantage. Steam
fire engines will give better results in

ease of management, besides diminish
ing the chances of accident to the pumps
