To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I have compliment to make to the city father, viz: We are 8 suffering people in this part of the city for the lack of pure clean water. For two weeks we have not been able to drink or use in any way the water from tho faucets without offending both smell and taste. It is quite like fish soup-stinking, oily and in color brownish yellow. melt ice for drinking and cook ing; most too expensive. All are com plaining round about here, up and down Whalley avenue. Now cannot something be done about it, before the hot weather comes on when pure water will be more indispensable even, if possible, than at this present time; am sure tho reservoir must contain many decaying fish to so strongly infuse this fshy odor and taste to such 8 large body of water.

The Man of the Future.

From the San Francisco Post
 Recent events have shown that James G. Blaine, of Maine, is one of the most farseeing men of the times. His idea of reciprocity may be regarded in the light of a political revelation, and it numbers among its adherents President Harrison and many other leading Republicans. He proposes to admit free of duty from certain South American ports a few pro- ducts such as are not raised in America, tea, coffee and the like, in order that the country with which the reciprocity treaty may be made, may admit cer- tain American products also free of duty.
 It is plain to be seen that by this plan a new market will be virtually opened for many agricultural products and manufactured articles of the United States which articles otherwise would be taxed with virtually prohibitive duty. No one can gainsay the sound ness of this course. But a few Demo- cratic editors who write by the rule of their thumbs, have discovered that Mir. Blaine's idea is inconsistent with the principles of a tariff party. They say, "Thst's free trade."
 It is free trade to certain extent, but it must be remembered that it is free trade under compulsion. The countries with which it is desired to enter into reciprocity relations, levy heavy duties upon certain articles of American manu- facture and produce, which has ten dency 70 bar the United States out of the market. Hence this Government must choose between reciprocity and non-intercourse, and of the two evils it is better to choose the lesser one.

Christmas i'm Denver.
From the Denver Republican.


 At the Union depot yesterday morn ing there was scene of chaotic confus- ion. The heavy fall of snow rendered it impossible to handle trains with any facility and all schedules were abandoned. All trains were from one to four hours late in arriving, and great difficulty was experienced in getting trains off, owing to the difficulty in handling mail and baggage. The deep snow rendered the platform trucks used in transferring mail and baggage useless, and made it difficult for the men to move about. The trucks were finally abandoned, and number of transfer wagons were brought into acquisition. To add to the difficulty, the wind piled the snow up in mounds, blocking some of the tracks, while each moving locomotive gathered huge bank of snow before it, which increased at every revolution of the wheels, burying switch bars and everything in its course and completely obstructing the tracks. The Missouri Pacific fast mail left one hour and nine minutes late, and early suburban trains experienced great difficulty in getting into the depot. By daybreak, however, 8 force of several hundred laborers were set to work with shovels, and the snow began to disappear as if by magic. Trains of fiat cars were run into the depot, and upon these the snow was loaded and dumped into the river, and in few hours everything assumed it's usual aspect, and order was brought out of confusion.

A PLAGUE OF LocusTs.

Action Taken to Destroy the Young Before
They Take Wings.
PAN Mall Budget.1
In order to check, if possible, the annual
plague of locusts that devour the heritage
and blast the hopes Of g~raziers, farmers and
fruit growers to a greater or less extent in
December, the Victorian Government pro-
claimed the 7th and Sth of November as
holiday for the scholars and schoolmasters
in the rural districts, in order that they
might cooperate with the settlers in destroy
ing the young locusts In the early stage of
their development before they had been
equipped with wings enabling them to take
flight over the country to begin their work
OF devastation.
With this end in view. preparations were
made in numerous parts of the interior to
destroy the pest in various ways, such as by
beating with branches the beds in the fields
where the as vet wIngless creatures were
Known to exist, or narrowing the ground, or
turning docks of sheep upon the land and
moving them rapidly about so as to tread
upon and kill or injure the young brood.
and also by spreading straw over the plague
spots and setting fire to it, Recently the re-
ports came that the creatures massed them
selves so thickly along some of the lines of
railways that although the brakes
were shut down the trains could not be
brought to a stand until they had gone half
a mile beyond the stations, owing to the
multitudes crushed beneath the wheels caus-
ing the trains to pass along as if the rails
were covered with oil. The wheels actually
slid along the rails. In many of the northern
towns the inhabitants had to close their
doors to keep out the invading hosts. The
plague has now fairly begun work, writes a
correspondent of a contemporary. under date
OF December 9. In the southern parts OF
New South Wales and some of the northern
portions of Victoria the outlook is ominous.

POINTS ON PRESERVATION OF MEAT
PREPARED FOR THE prsrArcH.,

PREPARED FOR THE DISPATCH!
A large quantity of the worlds supply Of
tobacco il grown In Dutch India, where
much of the cultivation is carried on by
Malay and Battak labor. During the months
of February, March and April the fields are
prepared and the seed Is planted. In May
and June light rains nourish the young
plant, but seldom fall during July and Au-
gust. The crop is gathered before the heavy
rains begin in November. After the forest
has been cleared away in December and
January, with ak and fire, q nursery bed is
sown every eight days. If rain falls, the
shoots are planted out 40 days after the first
showing, but if not the nursery is destroyed
and new seed sown. Then follows wedding
out and light blowing in due course.
Sometimes the leaves are ripe for harvest
ing 80 days after their second blowing,
sometimes it is four months before they as
sumo the yellow parchment color which in
dictates that they have reached maturity.
They are then cut by the coolies and hung
in punches of ten in the sheds, where they
are inspected by the European planter and
accepted at values ranging from IS to $40
per LOCO, according to quality. Tit coolie
leaves them for 25 days to dry, after which
he gathers them in bundles into rattan
baskets, wherein they are allowed to remain
and ferment until the end Of the season in
October. The famous Sumatra tobacco owes
much Of its excellence to the extreme care
which is expended on its curing, assembling
and sorting.
1t is somewhat strange that the various
leaves from the same plantation will often 60
to entirely different markets. For instance,
the favorite in the American market is the
tobacco from well-developed plants, with
fine, silky, supple oily leaves, ~coloring by
fermentation to a rich brown. This tobacco
is grown on argilaceous soils, has an abund-
ance of silex, and bears great resemblance to
the Cuba product. German purchasers,
on the contrary, prefer the light-colored
numbers from the plant, grown on sandy
soil usually, which has foliage crisp, dry
and rough to the touch.

Guard for Street Railway Cars.

The advent of the cable and electric car
into street railway traffic with their higher
speed of travel has neeessitated greater care
being taken against accidents to the public.
Among other things it has been found that
the guard hitherto employed does not hang
low enough to. prevent a PROSTATE person
from being caught and dragged over the
pavement. An improved guard has been
invented, which: is suspended close to the
track by means Of vertical arms depending
from the car bottom. The point of the
guard has q small junction wheel iournaled
SO as to engage the roadbed or cable track.
The guard frame is pressed downward by
bow strings bearing on each OF its inclined
bars. Directly below each bar of the guard
is journaled a roller which forms the bottom
of the guard, and these rollers coming down
to within an inch of the track will not al
low space for a person to get beneath.
Should a car run against a PROSTATE person
the acute inclination will brush him aside,
the roller allowing of q rotary motion, SO
that the subject of the accident is rolled of
with the least chance of being bruised,
which would not be possible in the guards
formerly used.

The Fijians Make Their Own COINS and

New York Ttmes.1
The Fijians spend no uncomfortable part
of their lives making mats In which to be
buried, and every house has o greater or
smaller pile Of them rolled up among the
rafters. with which their owners will not
part for love or money. Wherever graves
are made they are bottomed with clean dry
sand brought from the seashore, and some
times sarcophagi are made of slabs of soft
placed within, a slab of the same material
is lowered, and the grave filed in with
earth.
Formerly cave sepulchers were formed BY
digging straight down for Is or 20 feet and
then running q shaft horizontally for an
equal distance. In q hollowed-out chamber
at the end Of the shaft the body was laid, gen.
orally in a reclining position. In the case
of very old persons, to whom il seemed de-
sirable to hint that, as they had outlived
the usefulness. it would be decent for them
to accelerate the shutting off of this mortal
coil, it was common not to wait for their de-
cease, but to put them in the hole while
still alive, leaving the aperture open, and
dropping food down the perpendicular shaft
at stated intervals. When the food was OBJ
served TO be no longer utilized the natural
conclusion was that the inmate had said
farewell to mundane affairs, and the hole
was stopped by rolling q stone over it and
covering it with earth. By this c~onsiderate
action the veteran who Jagged superfuous
on the stage was gently assisted to hat bet
ter land for which the sagscity Of his rela-
ions perceived that he was so well fitted.

The Laws Of Life.

The majority of people eat about o third
too much. The average American really
dimes three times a day, with his beefsteak
breakfast, chops for lunch, and roast beef at
his 6 o'clock dinner. And he does it at his
peril, for this habit of overfeeding, espe-
cially Of eating so much meat, is one Of the
provoking causes Of so many sudden ill
nesses and SO many premature deaths.
Three meals a day of hearty food Is exhaust
ing to all the vital processes, and even the
strongest succumb finally to this "wasteful
and ridiculous excess" Americans are a
nation of brain workers, and cannot safely
indulge in high living. High-thinking, or
constant use Of the brain in any direction,
calls for a plain but nourishing diet. Brain.
workers especially ought to live sparingly.
Luxurious feeders require much exercise in
the open air and freedom from the pressure
ON the brain.
For the aged, or even for those above 30,
luxurious living and over-eating are
especially dangerous. As functional activ-
itY lessons with increasing years, the sup
ply of food should be decreased accordingly.
The hardest races live on the simplest fare.
Frugality in diet, j. e., q minimum amount
of the right quality, serves far more GER
tainly to prolong life, insure health and
well-being, than q rich abundance and
variety, which is accountable in . large
measure for the ill-heslth and dissatisfac-
ton of the present time.

New Use for the Finest.

The need of competent linemen in New
York City has probably never been
pressing as it was after the recent storm,
which created such devastation among the
wires of the various services. The destruc-
ton of the police telegraph wires threw .
considerable additional load of anxiety on
the shoulders Of the officials of that depart
ment, who had so much difficulty in secgr-
ing q force Of linemen to repair the damage
and get their wellorganized service into
running order again, that they have decided
to adopt q plan which will, at all events,
lessen the chance OF their being left in the
lurch in case similar conditions should re-
cur. The fiat has gone forth that the duties
Of the guardians Of New York streets shall
no longer consist mainly OF escorting files Of
shopping ladies' over the street crossing or
when things generally are becoming lame
and uneventIul, clubbing some unfortunate
citizen by way of reminding the stagnsnt
interest in their calling. 1t has been de-
cided that the captains of the various pre-
cincts are to be asked to find out and enroll
the men in their squads who may be service
able for line work in future emergencies.

At this Kokua laughed out aloud. "It
is you who asks questions" she said. "Are
you married YOURSELF"
Indeed, Kokua. I am not" replied
keawe, "and never thought to be until this
hour. But here is the plain truth: l have

heart went to you swift az o bird. And so

great house had come to her ears; and to be
sure, it was a great temptation. All that

the girl was as bold as brass under the eyes

graph of an incoming burglar can be made
by the fash-light camera, that has been
previously set and focused toward the door
in such a way as to take in the entire
figure of the intruder. The essential feat
ures of the device are a camera, using the
universally available dry plate and q fash
light arrangement, in which is provided
mechanism to strike q match that ignites
the fash powder. Simultaneously with the
fash q pivoted spring shutter is moved so
as to cause an instant exposure on, the sensi-

burglar opens the door and steps on q pre-
pared mat an instant electrical connection is
made and q lively greeting rings out from
