PEQUANNOCK PIPE LINE.
How 1t Will Enter Newark-The
Big Storage Reservoir.
speesal to The jersey city Nsr,

NEWARK, jan Is. 1S9L-Little work has
been done this month in the new water
works In the Pequannock Valley beyond
blasting in the trench for the pipe line
In the big pipe shop at Paterson. however.
the work Of making the great steel tubes
has been vastly increased and is nowbeiDg
prosecuted day and night When the work
of laying ana joining the sections is re-
sumed, il will be done at two or three
points at once and there win be large
supply Of pipe on the ground.
The manner of getting into Newark
with the eonouits has been decided. but
the exact route is not yet fixed.
The provision of the contract makes it
necessary TO deliver the water in two
branches One will empty into the Belle
vile reservoir and the other will deliver
directly into the present mains on the hill,
with pressure sufficient 10 force the water
to the top OF the loftiest buildings in the
upper part OF the city. This pressure
would be too great for some OF the older
pipes in the lower part of the city, and
consequently the supply Is thus divided.
The big conduit Will be led from Great
Notch through Montclair TO the reservoir
on the hill back Of Belleville, and there
the flow will be diverted in the TWO
directions. The high pressure main viii
be conducted through the streets as
mucn as possible and little land will be
condemned. In coming through Forest
Hill and North Newark it may be neces-
sary 70 have streets, which are now on
the map only. opened for the reception of
the pipe. II will probably be laid either
on First, Second, or Third streets, and
after reaching the centre OF the city II
will defect TO the westward TO Ninth
street. 1t is assured that there will no
longer be any necessity for pumping the
supply and this will save the city con
stangly increasing expense. which even
Row is enormous.
Nothing has been done about the pro-
posed storage reservoir to be used in an
emergency and the site OF il is not de-
cfded upon Branch Brook site has not
been finally abandoned BY the board nor
has any effort been made TO secure land
elsewhere. The Aqueduct Board now
has seventeen acres OF land ad1oinlng tue
Bign service reservoir at Belleville and
some of the members consider this the
best site Tor a large storage pond.

Curious Chinese medicines.

The medicines of Caucasian civiliza-
ton are derived from many a curious
origin, but if you want to find funny
things utilized as remedies for disease
you will discover them in the Chinese
pharmacopRia.
Medical science in that country has
been somewhat impeded by the respect
which the Chinese pay to dead body
Worshiping their ancestors as they do,
their physicians would never think of
cutting up corpse. Consequently they
know nothing of anatomy. Such lnowl-
edge on the subject as they pretend to
possess is derived, according to their
own account, from man born some
centuries ago. who had the misfortune
to be of a transparent consistency.
physically speaking, as if he were made
of glass, SO that it was possible to see
just how things went on in his insides
From observation of this extraordi-
nary freak it was discovered that GER
tain channels ran to each part and ex-
tremity of human being, and that by
these channels it was possible to convey
any remedy that might be necessary to
any organ OF member requiring treat
ment internally. Ever since then celes-
tial doctors have been able to tell Just
what sort of pills OF decoctions were in
tended for the cure Of this or that dis
order. The glass man doubtless suffered
from the experiments tried upon him by
science, but medical knowledge was
benefited inexpressibly.
Probably the Chinese pharmacopeia
is more elaborate than that possessed by
any other people. Physicians in the
Flowery Kingdom mix up together such
extraordinary things for remedial pur-
poses as we should never dream Of One
of their cures for liver complaint is OBJ
tanned by administering the fossil teeth
Of various animals. which are known TO
them as dragons teeth" Antelopes'
horns, powdered, they believe to be ex-
cellent for rheumatism, and glue from
the hides of asses is supposed to be an
admirable tonic and diuretic. The shell
of a certain fresh water turtle made into
jelly is sure thing for misery in the
joints" A decoction from the hedge
hogs hide is excellent for skin diseases
and tigers bones mixed with hartshorn
and terrapin's shell in the shape of a
jelly is first rate tonic in cases of dis
eases of the bones and of ague. lash

THE PILGRIM oF LOVE.

/ saw Love sleeping where the wild bees feed.
Close, close drew TO grasp-the empty alr;
His shadow fitted DER the dewy mead,
looked and only saw a swallow there.
Love whispered to me once, beside the sea,
SO tender sweet his accents TO mine ear
My heart stood still 10 listen--then, ah met
Only the waves low FLASHING could hear.
One passed me, singing, in the woodland green
Such wild. glad notes ne'er chanted mortal bird
Long, long l tracked the minstrelsy unseen
In vain-then knew il was Love heard.
Love wrapped me to his heart, one balmy night
That soft caress awoke such joy supreme,
Ny soul brimmed over with her new delight;
But morning broke, it was but dream.
So Love follow-all the wide world through
His pilgrim. though but these Of him hold
A dream, song, whisper-yet, tits true
Who follows on shall yet his face behold

A wholesome Fear.

The many manholes which have blown
up from time to time and the sensa-
tiopal character of the amateur electro
cutions which have taken place in the
city have together produced in the
minds Of the people well grounded fear
was forcibly struck by a scene in
Broadway recently. A crowd had col
lected at the corner of Canal street for
some unknown reason, as crowds will
when suddenly there was heard a rum
bling noise in the sewer. The firing of
battery of Gatlipgs could not have dis
persed the concourse with greater dis
patch, and in fact several of the people
fell over each other in their desire to es-
cape.
One excessively stout man attempted
to pass between hydrant and lamp
post, and, there not being room, met
with evidently very painful results. The
confusion of panic is sometimes very
funny, always providing you are not
yourself suffering from it. An innocent
wire lying across the sidewalk will turn
the stream of travel into the roadway,
no matter how muddy it may be, as
effectually as barricade of boxes in the
dry goods district. New York Telegram.
