What Water Costs.

From a profusely illustrated article on
"The New Croton Aqueduct," by Charles
Barnard, in the December Century, we
quote the following: at is curious COM
mentary on the demands of modern civiliza-
ton to observe the effect of building this
dam The million people in the city need
reserve of drinking water, and twenty
one families must move out of their quiet
rural homes and see their hearths sink
deep under water. The entire area to be
taken for the reservoir is 1,471 acres.
Twenty-one dwellings, three saw and grist
mills, sash and blind factory and car
riage factory must be torn down and re-
! moved. A mile and quarter of railroad
track must be relaid, and six miles of
country road must be abandoned. A road
twenty-three miles long will extend around
the two lakes, and border or safety
margin three hundred feet wide will be
cleared all around the edge to prevent any
contamination Of the water. This safety
border will include carriage road, and
all the rest viii! be laid down to grass. As
the dam rises, the water will spread wider
and wider over fields, farms and roads.
Every tree will be cut down and carried
away Every building will be carted off,
and the cellars burned out and filled with
clean soil to prevent any possibility of in
jury to the water. Fortunately there is no
cemetery within the limits of the land
taken for the reservoir. Had there been
one it would have been completely removed
before the water should cover the ground.
Fifty eight person and corporations, hold
ing one hundred and eleven parcels of
land, will be depossessed in order to clear
the land for the two lakes and the dams,
roads and safety borders"

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Never dispute with man more than
20 years of age, nor woman, nor an en-
thusiast.
Plain living and high thinking will
make better men than high living and
slow thinking.
Don't forget that the fnest-feeling, vel
vety paws of the kitten often cover the
sharpest claws.
Give me the liberty to know, to think,
to believe, and to utter freely, according to
conscience, above all other liberties
1hlton
Women are fascinating creatures, yet it
is treading upon eggs all the time you are
dealing with them. They received the
unvarnished truth as if it were red-hot
bullet.
There are 7,0O00 900 negroes in the United
States. In the South there are 10000 col
ored school-teachers. They have colleges,
universities and seminaries, and are worth
$4,000, 900 in property.
One strong, well-directed blow sends the
nail truer to its home than do dozen
coaxing taps. One fit and earnest word
carries more weight than does whole
yard of hIgh-flown eloquence.
Look not mournfully into the past it
comes not back again. Wisely improve
the present; it is thine. Go forth to meet
the shadowy future without fear and with
a manly heart.-L0ngeLtOlu

OF MANUSCRIPT.

The Writer says that manuscript that
is not worth the labor on the part of its
author that punctuating it involves is
not worth printing. We concur. We
prefer that authors of manuscript for our
columns should punctuate too literally
than not at all. If the writer of paper
has not that knowledge of the rules of
punctuation that he should have, let him
at least so mark his manuscript that his
meaning shall not be obscured, for very
often punctuation determines the inten-
ton of the author of the paper. But
there is one class of writers who should
never send manuscript to the newspaper
those who use dashes and no other marks
for punctuation. Another thing it is well
for writers to remember, that it is useless
for them to mark sentences to be set in
italics, if the matter is for the daily
prsss. Every paper has its own style in
the use of italics and usually will suffer no
infringement of it. The men who use
italic letter least are the regularly en-
gagged writers upon newspapers. They
have learned by experience that their
paths are smoother in consequence of
abstention from the use of italics. Writers
who submit manuscript TO the editors of
journals should do so with faith in their
ability to edit it properly, and not accom-
pany the article with specific directions.
At the same time, the editor of paper
always desires his contributor to clearly
indicate paragraphs-the divisions of the
subject, and to leave blank line between
paragraphs, that the article may be Sub
headed if the editor so desires, without
laborious interllneation. 1t ought not, in
this day and age, be necessary to repeat
the old warning, "do not write on both
sides of your paper" Yet it is true that
great many people continue to offend by
violating that rule, and many valuable
manuscript is rejected for no better reason
than that the editor to whom it is
addressed does not consider it when he
finds that acceptance will involve re-
writing. In short, you who contribute to
the press will make your ways straight
and your COMMUNICATION more likely il
you send your manuscript in written on
broad lines, clearly punctuated, we'll
Photographed and on but one side of the
paper, for the reason that such preparation
invites to its reading and saves labor to
the ever-busy manager of daily news

DoINGs AT FOLSOM.
Painful Accident to an Old Lady-Chr;st
mas in the State Prison,


! Folsom Telegraph, December 2sth.
| Mrs Libbie Cox, of Sacramento, is in
town, visiting her parents, q. s. Tong and
wife.
Miss Eva Aull, OF Sacramento, has been
spending the holidays with Captain and
Mrs. Charles Aull.
On Friday afternoon it was decided to
give an additional weeks vacation to the
scholars OF the Folsom public school, and
they will not be expected to resume their
studies until January 9th.
While engaged in working at his quarry
David Blower had one his legs badly
crushed by a large rock falling on it. The
leg was crushed and bruised in a very Sc
we're manner, but no bones were broken.
He will be unable to be about for SONS
time to come, bat no serious permanent re-
suits are anticipated.
Mrs. 0. @. Spsuldipg returned home on
Saturday evening from Sacramento, greatly
improved in health, and ready to resume
her position rs teacher of the primary de-
partment of the public school.
On Sunday evening ]. H. Smith returned
to his duties as guard at the prison, after
spending the day with his family in town.
The night was very dark, and when Mr..
Smith was going to his room in one of the
guard-houses he slipped on the steps, and
put out his hand to save himself His full
weight came down on it, and as a result his
wrist was badly sprained.
A few evenings ago Mrs. Demeister was
going out to visit neighbor, and it being
quite dark she stepped into post-hole
which was in her path. The unfortunate
lady was unable to rise, and after calling
for help and receiving no response she was
compelled to crawl to her home and got
into bed unassisted. In the morning
neighbors were informed and an examina-
ton disclosed the fact that she had broken
one of her legs. AS she is quite old the
accident will 60 hard with her. She was
taken TO the County Hospital for treat
ment.
The convicts were given a holiday ct the
prison on Christmas Day, and some delica-
cies that they are not in the habit of re-
ceiving were added to their fare. A theat-
rical performance was given in the old
blacksmith shop. The actors were all con-
victs, and the performance was good. 1t
was much better than great many of the
troupes that travel through the country do.
About 600 persons were i'll the audience.
Acting upon instructions received from
Coroner Clark, Judge J. Il. Sturges of this
place summoned jury and held an in
quest on the remains of George Poppy, the
young man who died last week After in
vestigatiDg the matter they returned YER
dict that the death was a result of natural
causes. The deceased was buried on Sat
urday afternoon in the City Cemetery. He
had no relatives in these parts.

machinery hall during the great Centen-
nial Exposition at Philadelphia. He had
a great dislike for ELUSIVE attention, such
as is usually bestowed upon distinguished
personages, and his greatest delight was to
Slip into the exposition buildings unob-

plainly see that this great man. though
monarch born, and compelled through
circumstances to wear crown, really IN

out and turn the Government over TO the

Captain A. O. Paine, of Cocoa, Fla, has
shells and pottery taken from the mound
ON the east bank of Indian river at the foot
of Merritt Island. These shells and frag-
ments were taken from the mound about
thirty feet below the surface, the action of
the water having washed away large
portion of the mound and leaving the
strata exposed to view. From that portion
of the mound used as a burial ground
only conch shells were taken from among
the skeletons, and the curious feature of
the case is that in every conch shell hole
is broken in the same relative position.
1t is supposed that the conches were bur-
ried with the dead to be used as food in
the happy hunting grounds, and to facili-
tate the eating process each shell was
broken SO that the flesh could be eaten
without trouble.
