The Water Supply of London-The Change From Municipal Manage

Change From Municipal Manage mcnt To Private Management.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I resume the history of the water sup ply of London, and the important change furnishing water to portion of the city under pressure and the still more import ant change in tine control of the water com panies, by the abandonment of all attempts on the part of the city to sell water ia the citizens. Among other reasons assigned was that the selling of water doth not | pertain to the province of good govern ment" and for three hundred and ten | years the wisdom of that remark of the old | goldsmith who uttered it, has been steadi | ly adhered 10. The records of that lime show that the eonduits were annually i'm spected with considerable show and fes- tivity. "The lord mayor and aldermen rid | to the conduits for to see them after the | old custom and afore dinner hunted the | hare and killed her and thence to dinner st | the conduit head" Those festive scenes are somewhat changed, but the lord may ors and aldermen still pursue the chase and instead of hunting hares pass their time quite as pleasantly in hunting votes at select balls and parties.
 In 15Sl the mayor and commonslty of the city of London granted to Peter Maurice, DutchRsn, lease for the term of five hundred years to convey water into mems houses, through lead pipes, by means of an artificial forcier standing near to London bridge" This WAS the commencement of the present method of | l and fire purposes. The condition in- posed upon Peter Maurice was the annual payment of ten shillings into the chamber of London. He was authorized to erect an undershot wheel within the first arch of London bridge for the purpose of sup
 plying the city with water. This method
 of supply proved so successful that an
 other grant of five hundred years was
 given to Maurice and he placed another
 wheel within the second arch of the
 bridge These wheels were twenty
 feet in diameter. fourteen feet long by , eighteen inches broad, each gave motion to sixteen pumps and would deliver into the city two and a half million gallons in
 twenty four hours. The power of the ma
 chinery was such that the mayor and al
 dermen came down to observe the expert ment, and they saw him throw the water over St. Magnus' steeple, before which
 time no such thing was known in England
 as this raising of water.
 The lord mayor bestowed great praise on the success of NIT. Maurice, and availed
 himself of the occasion to say that the cit
 izens were better enabled to care for the water supply than the city in its corporate ' capacity, and we may well believe the lord , mayor when We contemplate municipal management as exhibited to us by our
 board of public works for the past year Al. .n@,
 of both parties as to who should sweep the , floors of our city hall. P

A chamberlain hands him the rose and he sprinkles it with holy water and balm. It is generally carried to the recipient by a cardinal, who says: Receive from our hands the rose which, as special gift from the Holy Father, we bring to thee. It is a symbol of the church militant and victori- ous." Then the Queen or Empress who receives it kisses the rose, and the cardinal announces absolution for all her family.

is given liniment for his aches, narcotic
for his sleeplessness, whisky to make him
cheerful, and nux vomica or other poison to
quiet his nerves. Verify, the last condition
of that man is worse than the first How
many fall into the whisky or opium habit

remedy is DR.. Bulls Sarsaparilla. Try 1t
