Why are the Troughs Removed.

5lr. Editor 1t is not in the spirit
of caviI that the citizens enquire of
the Corporation officers, Why the
troughs have been removed from the
pumps In Ghaftestown2 Is it in the
interest of water supply, or is it to
adorn the streets with ntd-pooIs in
the vicinity of che pltmpe; or thirdly,
is it preliminary to removing the
pumps and thereby compelling cit
liens to subscribe to- the Water Com
pany for water, 5teTei.s UoienS. The
council properly granted the right to
lay the water pipes through the town,
and that was as far as they could safe
ly go without consulting tie voters,
but to remove the peoples conven-
iencies, perhaps with liitetiur objects
in favor of private enterprises, how
ever laudable, is not approved. For
convenience, and for neatRess, there
should be troagh OF the size of the
one removed from tl,e pump at the
Courthouse, replaced at every pump
in town, and kept in perfect repair,
as well as the p&mps fact, there
ought to BE more pumps. And now,
in midsummer, to remove the water
troughs, is leaning remarkably strong
in certain direction.

We have not had an opportunity since the
reception of "a Reformer'sr communication,
to inquire into the cause of the removal of the
trougbs at the pumps, but feel sure that he is
in error when he intimates that it may be in
the interest of the Water Company. We know
nothing about the action of the Council in the
matter, but venture to assert that the gentle
men of the Water Company knew as little
about the order for their removal as "a Re
former" before they were removed. AS to
whether Or not the troughs ought to remain at
the pumps, we have heard both sides of the
question frequently argued before the Town
Council, and good reasons advanced in each
direction.

TO SEW ON BUTTONS.

"When get bright idea l always

DO your buttons ever come off, Lena?'
Ever? They're always doing it. They
are ironed off, washed off and pulled off,
until despair. | seem to she'd buttons
AT every step
Make use Of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and see if
they make any difference : When you be-
gin. before you lay the button on the
cloth, put the thread through So that the
knot will be on the right side That
leaves it under the button, and prevents
it from being worn or ironed away and
thus beginning the looseaing process.
Then, before you begin sewing. lay a
large pin across the button so that all
your threads will go over the pin. After
you have finished filling the holes with
thread, draw out the PIN, and wind your
thread round and round beneath the but
ton. That makes compact stem, to sus-
tain the possible pulling and wear of the
buttonhole."
1T is not an exaggeration to say that
my buttons never came off. and I'm sure
yours won't, if you use my method of
sewing"

princely sum of SIS per day, or

meeting, for performing a service
that could be done by a messenger
boy.
"Jim," the colored boy who car
ries ice-water around among the

receives this much for a months

WHERE MONEY rs CHEAP.

1t is a well-known fact that the
value of money is less appreciated
by regular racing people than by any
other class of people in the world,
even including gold miners, who are
notoriously extravagant in spending
their wealth. A person who visits
a big race meeting for the first time
is astounded at the reckless manner
in which large sums of money are
passed back and forth between the
betters and the bookmakers. Jockeys
like candy" Mccarthy, who are
mere youths, walk up to a betting
stand and, as if it were the most
common occurrence, pull out an
enormous roll of greenbacks and
place $500, and even $1,000, on
single horse. 1t is "come easy, go
easy," with these lads. and they
haven the remotest idea of the real
value of money.
On suburban daya World reporter
saw Mccarthy cash six tickets on
Bill Bond, of $500 each, saying, II
knew Larchmont couldn't run little
bit,' and stufing this small fortune
into his trousers pockets, he walked
off as unconcerned as possible. A
clerk on fair wages would have to be
very economic in order to save this
sum from 81, 200 salary in two
years.
On race course everything is
gre deal more expensive than else
where. A glass of beer costs ten
cents, ham sandwich twenty cents,
and everything in proportion. Sala-
ries are very high, the starter receiv-
ing 500 per day. Jockeys received
SIS for each winning mount, and men
like Garrison are paid over $40, 900
a season to ride for certain stable.
The book makers, seventy five in
number at Sheepshead Bay, pay
sIoo each per day for their privilege.
They employ three clerks at $40 per
day each, and expenses are proper.
tionately heavy.
AS soon as the judges hang out
the numbers of the winning horses,
a man is seen to rush down to the
bookmakers' pavilion, shouting
"Raceland wins! Terra Gotta Sec
ond!" at the top of his voice. This
man is the old time sport, Barney
A IRON, and he receives for this slight
service 81 per day from each book
maker on the line. As there are
seventy-five of them, he receives the

SECOND WIND.

Every boy who has run mile
knows what it is to gain a "second
wind" though he may not be able
to explain why one minute he is out
of breath and the next feels as if he
could run several miles. The ex-
PLANTATION is this:
In ordinary breathing we use only
a portion of our lungs, the cells
at the extremity not being brought
into play. This is the reason why
those who are not "in training" and
who try to run for any distance, soon
begin to gasp, and unless they are
courageous enough to persevere in
spite of the choking sensation, are
forced to stop; but if they will per-
severe the choking goes off, and the
result is what is known as "second
wind"
When the second wind is fully es-
tablished, the runner does not be-
come out of breath, but goes on
running as long as his legs will carry
him.
The fact is. that on starting, the
farthest portions of the lungs are
choked with air, and the remainder
do not supply air enough to meet
the increased circulation caused by
exercise.
By degrees, however, the neglect
ed cells come into play; and when
the entire lung is in working order
the circulation and respiration again
balance each other, and the second
wind is the result
Now let the reader repeat his ex-
pertinent of holding his breath against
time; but first let him force out of his
lungs every particle of air that he
can expel, and then draw as deep a
breath as his lungs will hold.
If this be repeated seventy or
eighty times, by way of imitation of
the whale, the experime nter will find
he can hold his breath for a minute
and a half without inconvenience
Should he be swimmer, he should
always take this precaution before
taking a header" and he will find
that he can swim for considerable
distance before he needs to rise for
breath.
