The citv,s Water supplv.

The cloudy appearance recently Of the
water furnished by the city has been the
! subject OF comment, and the suspicion has
been entertained that the percentage Of wa
ter pumped from the river and mixed with
the artesian water had bsen increased. The
! superin .endent Of the water works, how
ever, says that such is not the case. The
cloudy appearance OF the water is duo to
the fact that the river water, owing 20 q
freshet. is carrying an extra amount OF silt.
The superinte ldent says that as soon as the
new wells are finished he does not expect to
pump any water from the river
The superintendent makes a statement,
however. that ought to arrest the attention
of the city authorities. II is that when the
question Of adopting the water meter sys-
TEN, which would require people 70 pay for
the amount of water they used. was being
agitated, the consumption of water notice
ably decreased, but that when the agitation
ceased an increased consumption was at
once apparent, and that now the consump-
ton Is greater than ever before.
1t IS evident that the only way to prevent
water from being wasted is to adopt a sys-
tenn that will insure economy in the use of
water II the water rate for each house
holder taking water should be BASED upon
the amount used, there would be falling
off at once in the amount Of water used, and
tie amount consumed would not be less than
is necessary to secure good sanitary coadi-
tions.
1t is safe to say that very considerable
part of the water which the city furnishes
is now wasted, and there is likely to be an
increase. rather than decrease, in the
wastage as long as the present system of
adjusting water rents is adhered to. The
city can go on sinking artesian wells, but
the artesian water supply will never be suffi-
cient if no effort is made to check
the wastage. There are those
who are careful not to waste water. If
there are leaks in their closets they have
them closed at once. There are others, how
ever, many others if reports are to be cred
tied. who are wholly Indifferent about the
wastage of water. A water meter system
is the only one that will compel this latter
class to practice reasonable economy in the
use Of water.

Yellow Jackets Played circus.

The anecdote is of Chancellor East of Nash
vile, Tenn, and is told by him. When the
chancellor was green country boy he was in
formed by lawyer that there was good de-
mand for yellow jackets at Nashville: that the
druggists of that city manufactured them into
dye stuff, which was sold by all grocers every
where. So young East got leather bag and,
stretching it over many yellow jackets nest
got it full of the pestiferous insects He thought
he had fortune in the bag and he went to
Nashville to sell this raw dye stuff material.
But no druggist wanted the yellow Jackets, One
would send the hornet peddler to another and
he to another, until the circuit of all the drug
gists in the city had been run by the boy who
was compelled to hold the bag all the time.
While he was walking about in disconsolate
way, he met Dan Rice, whose show was in
town that day. He told to Dan the story of his
adventure, which awakened the funny man.
sympathy for the humbugged boy to whom he
gave ticket to the circus and from whom be
bought the hornet bag and its contents for q
quarter
DO you know the lawyer who induced Won to
bag these stingers?" asked Rice.
East said that he did
Then find him tonight under the tent" said
Rice Sit near him, and tell him that you
have sold the yellow Jackets to me, and that l
hav9 instructed you to drop the opened bag
uuder the seats. And dropthem."
Il acted SAID Chancellor East, upon thess
instructions, and when showed the LAWYER the
bag, full of hornets as it was, and opening it
let it fall, and the yellow jackets came whistiine
up under his wife and children, clappng their
little daggers into people'slegs and Craving IN
under their breaches and dresses that lawy er
who had sold me was himself the angry victim
of his own joke. hoist by his own petard. He
shouidered bis two fat daughters and, telling
his wife to run for her life hs turned, consigned
my soul witha dreadful imprecation to perdi-
ton, and fed across the circus ring Then
women shrieked and men swore and the yellow
jackets were 10 ecstacies. They made that the
ltveliest of all the shows ever presented by Dan
Rice to the good people of Nashville or any other
town"
