The cost of operating one of these
pumps for twenty hours and pumping
10000 gallons of sewage is as follows:
Cost of coal used 81 10
Cost OF oil and waste. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 81
Engineers wages. 3.75
Total &C. O5
This is trife less than 33 cents for
pumping 1000 gallons.
During the months of last September,
October, and November the daily aver
age of sewage pumped was little over
1900, 900 gallons.
There are no saloons, gambling
houses, or other debasing and hurtful
agencies here to allure men, but the
beautiful library, theater, Arcade, play
grounds, lake, and park-like avenues
offer many attractions. The society is
excellent, and the Pullman Military
Band is considered the best in the State.
There are now about forty secret So
cieties, clubs. and organizations for
social purposes, as we'll as eight church
societies in Pullman. With these i'm
proved surroundings men are able not
only to do more and better work, as is
seen in the fact that their average earn
ings here are larger than in any other
place whore similar work is done, but to
do it comfortably in these finely arranged
and equipped shops and factories While
they are at work their children are in
the best of schools and their families are
sheltered in superior homes. AS a social
and business experiment the place at
tracts the attention of philosophers,
political economists students of social
science, and capitalists in every civilized
country. 1t is business and social sue

A Word About Coffee.
From Harper's Bazaar.

Much has been written and printed con-
corning coffee Cook-books all contain re-
ceipts for preparing it in different ways.
Every housekeeper considers that coffee is
something anybody can make, and there
fore she takes no particular pains to make
it. 1t is fact that on the breakfast table
of nine out of ten families where nice
cooking in other respects is the rule, the
coffee will be found watery stuff, tasting
strongly of chiccory, or else so black and
thick as to be undrinkable by whoever is
used to the better-made article.
In the city the vast majority of house
wives buy ground coffee at corner grocer
les. | think the same rule is good in the
country, ior most country stores have their
coffee-grinder. The grocery mans profit
is so large on coffee that of course it pays
him well to grind it. And he can, in
grinding, adulterate in to so great an ex-
tent that he would prefer to sell his real
Java" and ''real Mocha ground, even if
he had to sell at a less price than in the
bean. The fact that the price is the same,
ground or unground, never seems to show
people plainly how well it would pay them
to grind their own coffee They may be
sure the grocery man does not do it for
love.
1t is not easy TO roast coffee, for it re-
quires much close watching, patience, and
experience to bring it just to the proper
shade, not burnt, nor yet too light, neither
too little nor too much, but just right. 1t
can be bought freshly and perfectly roasted
in the larger grocery houses of good re-
pute. 1t is best to buy not more than two
pounds of this at time, and it should be
kept closely covered until the last grain is
used. | have always found that one-third
Mocha and two-thirds Java make a good
combination. This costs about thirty-two
cents per pound at the larger downtown
houses.
A coffee grinder good one-is worth
fifty cents. The comfort of the good coffee
it gives you is worth far more. 1t is true
Bridget will not grind it unless compelled,
and if she hasn't any coffee but unground
to use; but it should be made case of
needs must" If she is allowed to grind
it overnight for use in the morning, it
should be put into tightly covered vessel
until used.
| use coffee-cup full, ground, for
family of five. This makes pound last
about week. Put in an egg-shell, and
fill the pot about third full of cold water.
When it boils hard, add boiling-hot water
to the quantity you wish to make. When
that boils up once, put in dash of cold
water, and cover the cofee-pot with folded
towel, and set on the back part of the stove
until you wish to use it. If you pour into
silver urn, be sure to scald the urn first,
that the coffee may not be chilled.
Whoever is used to drinking good coffee,
bought and made in this way, will never
be content with "grocers' coffee" again.
Always buy grinder to screw against
the wall. 1t saves time and temper, and
is at hand when it is wanted.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
ny JOHN A. ZEPP.

The Pilgrim Fathers landed on the bleak New Eng
land coast
More than two hundred and fifty years ago;
They resolved to get away from their cruel heartess
King
lift brought them even greater weight of woe.
The Mayfower sailed with her load of Pilgrim
freight
Who were not the sort people to despair,
Though the bold and rocky coast rendered them the
less elate,
And they ceased to build their castles in the air
Now they were in a country where the savages bore
sway
But no longer persecution was their lot,
For the Lord they could worship in their own
peculiar way
And none were there empowered to bid them not
AT first the greatest hardships met them on every
hand,
But these with patient fortitude they bore,
Not doubling the good fortune that brought them to
this land
Would succor them and comfort them the more
In 1923 their abundance was so great,
Though starvation had sore threatened them
before,
Their fortunate deliverance now made them 50
elate
They would, deyoutly, Providence adore.
Thanks giving Day, thus set apart, in each and
every year,
Is now an honord custom of the land
When every board is graced with the most deli
cious cheer
And thankfulness is felt on every hand.

The Dearest of All Holidays.

Charles Dudley Warner, in the Editor S
Drawer in Harpers Magazine for Deem
Der says:-Those who are anxious about
the fate of Christmas, whether it IS not be-
coming too worldly and too expensive a
holiday to be INDUCED in except by the
very poor, mark with pleasure any indica-
tions that the true spirit of the day
brotherhood and self-abnegatiOn and charity
is infusing itself into modern society.
The sentimental Christmas Of thirty years
ago could not last; in time the manufactured
iolIity got to be more tedious and a greater
strain on the feelings than any misfortune
happening to ones neighbor. Even for
day it was very difficult to buzz about
in the CHEEKY manner prescribed, and the
reaction put human nature in bad light.
Nor was it much better when gradually
the day became one of Great Expectations,
and the sweet spirits Of it was quenched IN
worry or soured in disappointment. 1t
began to take on the aspect OF great
lottery, in which one class expected to
draw in reverse proportion to what it put
in and another class knew that it would
only reap as it had sowed. The day,
blessed in its origin, and meaningless if
there is grain of selfishness in it, was
thus likely to become a sort Clearinghouse
of all obligations, and assume a commercial
aspect that took the heart out Of it-llke
the enormous receptions for paying social
debts which take the place of the old
fashioned hospitality. Everybody knew,
meantime, that the spirit of goodwill, the
grace of universal sympathy, was really
growing in the world, and that it was only
our awkwardness that, by striving to
cram it all for year into twenty-four
hours, made it seem a little farcial. And
everybody knows that when goodness be-
comes fashionable, goodness is likely to
suffer little 4 virtue overdone falls on
t'other side And holiday that takes on
such proportions that the Express COM
panies and the Post-ofice cannot handle
it is in danger of collapse. In con-
sideration of these things, and because, as
has been pointed out year after year,
Christmas is becoming burden, the load
of which is looked forward to with appre-
hension-and back on with nervous pros
tration-fcar has been expressed that the
dearest of holidays in Christian lands would
have to 90 again under sort of Puritan
protest, or into retreat for rest and
publication.

A Curious Clock.

A novel clock is now being exhibited by
the Watchmakers' Union in London. Its
of wood, beautifully carved, and stands six
feet in height. The case is perfect fort
in miniature, and instead of bell and strik-
ing hammer the hours are announced by a
bugler, who emerges from door at one
side of the fort and blows the call to as
semble and march.
Almost instantly doors open on all sides
and regiment of automatic soldiers, six
abreast, march out, wheel to the left, stop
few seconds to "mark time, and then
march through another part of the fortress
to the barracks. These marches and coun-
ter marches occur each hour. If they
come out 70 announce the hour of o'clock
one soldier fires his tiny gun, at 2 o'clock
two soldiers FIRE their pieces, increasing with
the hour until the II leaders FIRE their guns,
the rear ranks bowling their heads and
pointing with their bayonets toward the
dial Of the clock.

There is a little lady who rules my heart supreme,
And all through life shall ever be my gracious little
Queen;
She bears an image dear to me, whose mem'ry can
not fade,
With sweetest charms ofyouth and love that Nature
ever made.
She comes with music in her lightly tripping feet
And trilling songs of happiness my presence ever
greet;
BY day she is my solace, and by night she is my
dream,
And all the world is naught tome without my little
Queen!
She is a fairy darling, with gently winsome ways,
And turns lifes gloomy hours TO bright and blith
some days
While Ioyelness of all the earth and beauties of thu
skies
Seek sweet repose and dwell within the brightness
of her eyes

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Doctor Chalmers says: The little that
| have seen in the world and know of
mankind, teaches me to look upon their
errors in sorrow, not in anger. When l
take the history of one poor heart that has
sinned and suffered, and represent to my
self the struggles and temptations it passes
through-the brief pulsations of joy, the
tears of regret, the feebleness of purpose,
the scorn of the world that has little
charity the desolation of the souls sanct-
uary, and threatening voices within, health
gone, happiness gone-I would fam leave
the erring soul of my fellow-being with
Him from Whose hands it came.

Original Roetrp.
WE KNOW NOT NOW.

Written for the Democratic Advocate.
by J. W. sLAGENHAUP.
We know not now the glory,
Prepared for souls redeemed;
OF all the bliss of heaven
No mortal mind has dreamed.
Oh. joy beyond expressing,
To dwell where Christ appears:
We know not nGw-but fully then
Through the eternal years.
No eye has seen the beauty,
Nor ear has caught the sound
Ofall the sacred raptures
That ever there abound.
Within the heavenly kingdom
Appears the Saviours throne,
Surrounded by the faithful
Whom God has called his own.
