Water Is Cheap.

In the old days when water was car
ried around on carts the price per barrel
was nine cents. That price did not seem
eXorbitant; was thought cheap. Now
De cost to the consumer is about one
third Of a cent per'barrel-thirty barrels
for ten cents. And at that rate the city
makes large profits. Out of these profits
is paid the cost of pipe extensions and
renewals and of various other matters,
and still there remains untouched reve-
hue amounting to nearly 5000, 900. The
rate Of profit will rapidly increase in the
future, inasnuch as a great deal of
piping has been done in advance of pop
ulation. Vacant spaces will henceforth
be filled in with improvements and peo-
pie rather than new spaces acquired.
Extensions Of the water service in many
directions and to extreme distances are
therefore nearly complete and parma-
nent.- Chicago Herald.

Had to Travel in Nee1iata.

During a very hot night three Austrian
cavalry officers were on a train which
sped from Pesth to Vienna. As they
had a compartment for themselves they
sought to travel as comfortably as pos
sible. First coats and vests disappeared,
then collars and cuffs and so on until
nothing remained on their bodies except
night clothing. 1t was so sultry they
remained awake all night. When the
train stopped at one station one of the
party remarked that it would be a good
idea to have something to drink, and he
hastily threw an overcoat over his body
and ran to the bar Of the station house.
Whether the bartender was too sleepy
or the officer too slow, to the despair Of
the latter and his comrades the train set
in motion when he was at the door Of
the restaurant. The two other officers
had first a hearty laugh and then pitied
him for the condition he was In. But
their comrade was not of the anxious
kind. As o o as he discovered that the
train was in motion he ran quickly after
it and was lucky enough to reach the
steps of the last car, on which he re-
manned until the next station was eached.
When he made his appearance among
his comrades they were much astonished,
and one of them said: why, when we
saw you left behind we threw your gar
ments out Of the window in the hope
that you would get themt" Nothing
could be done but telegraph to the other
station to have some one pick up the
garments and forward them by the next
train.-New York Recorder.

A Farmers Idea.

A farmer and his wife who had been
doing Central park stopped at the Fifth
avenue entrance as they came out and
turned for a last look.
"Nice, isn't it, said the wife.
"Purty darned fine, and no mistake"
he heartily replied.

"Waal, that's hard to say, as 1 don't
know what land fetches by the acre
round here, but I'll tell ye this. If we
had this thing or u farm jest as it
stands l wouldn't take a cent lessen
5000 for it, and I'd git $4,000 if
could!'-New York World.

Why Oysters Have to Be Cultivated.

The oyster, though a vNry prolific
shellfsh and widely distributed, has SO
many enemies and is so helpless to de-
fend itself when young and tender, that
its chance Of escaping extinction rests
almost wholly upon its cultivation and
care by artificial methods. This fact
has come to be SO generally recognized
in recent times that all nations on whose
shores this delicious bivalve grows have
!egislated on its behalf and made many
experiments for increasing its numbers.
In spite, however, of all hat has been
done for it, there is still a curious di-
versity of opinion as to its nature and
habits. Whether it is her1naphroditic
or bisexual has been warmly discussed,
each contention having earnest adher-
ents.-Joel Benton in brakes Magazine.

Three Hours Too Soon.

The clock in a workshop at Lewiston,
Me-, stopped at II o'clock at night. AT
8 o'clock the next forenoon one of the
workmen, who had had a light break
fast and was hungry, looked at the clock
and saw to his delight that the hour
and minute hands pointed to IL. Think
ing it noon, ne washed up, put on his
coat and started out for dinner without
a word to any one He reached home
just three hours before the dinner was
ready, and sorrowfully and slowly he
walked back to the shop.-Exchange.

The approaching wrestling match be-
tween Comstock and Burns at Harpers
theatre Saturday night promises to be an
interesting event. All the local sports
are eagerly looking forward to it and the
Athletic club will no doubt realize the
success it expects to from it.
The Davenport base ball club opens its
season at the new bail park on that side
of the river Saturday in game with the
R. K. club of that city. The Davenports
are stronger than ever this season and
will give the tri-city enthusiasts an excel
lent article of ball this year. Rock Island
will contribute its measure of support to
the team.
Director Hood. of the Davenport club.
was in Rock Island this morning in con-
sultation with Harry Sage, Rock Islands
crack player. Sage would like to play
in Davenport and the club would like to
have him, but the salary limit does not
permit of signing him. Mr.. Hood
had been informed that Rock Island par
ties were willing to furnish 5000 toward
Sage's salary. Under these terms Sage
