am informed that Ashland on Saturday
was put on a twelve-hour supply of water.
One of the gentlemen connected with the
water works at that place told me that but
little water had been saved by the two-hour
rule "You see," said he, "when people
knew that the water would be cut off they
would fill all the tubs, barrels and pals they
could lay hands on. They generally laid in
a supply that would last two days with ordi-
nary use and would have a large supply on
hand when the water would be turned on
then they threw away the stale water and
the waste was as great as before

With all due respect to the Chief Burgess,
I most respectfully insist that nothing short
of a Board of Health will serve this towns
sanitary interests as they should be attended
to. The Burgess cannot do all the work re-
auired himself and he has admitted that the
members of the sanitary committee has
business connections which will not allow
them to give the time required for the work.
There is no denying the fact that we have an
epidemic of diphtheria and scarlet fever in
town, two Of the most terrible of contagious
diseases and to cope with it successfully we
must have a Board of Health.

Several prominent mine officials stood at
the PENNSYLVANIA station the other morning
and saw women and children struggling over
the railroad treste near the depot carrying
upon their backs large bags of coal they had
picked from the dirt banks The scene
called forth many remarks from the observers

Sir Harvey Elves, of Stoke, in Suffolk,
next to boarding money, found his prin-
cipal pleasure in netting partridges. He
and his household, consisting of one man
and two maids, lived upon these. In cold
or wet weather Sir Harvey would walk
up and down his hall to save fire. His
clothes cost him nothing, for he ran.

wore those of his ancestors When he
died the only tear shed was by his serv-
ant, to whom he left the farm-value,
Fifty pounds per annum.
The whole of his property was left to
bis nephew, John Maggott, who thus in
herited real and personal estate worth
e260, 900, on condition that he should as
sumo the name and arms of Elves. OF
this man, who is better known as John
Elves, the miser, the following story is
told: His nephew, Colonel Timms, Wis,
tied him at Marcham, and after retiring
TO rest found himself wet through. Find.
ing that the rain was dripping through
the ceiling, he moved the bed. He had
not lain long before the same inconven.
ience again occurred. Again he rose and
again the rain came down. After push
ing the bed quite around the room, he
found corner where the ceiling was
better secured and slept until morning
When he met his uncle at breakfast he
told him what had happened. "Aye
! aye" said Mr.. Elves; Il don't mind il
myself, but to those who do, that's nice
corner in the rain. -Cassell's Journal.

JOY FOR BALDHeAos.
An Invention That Promises to Make LiIs
Worth Living for Many,

An Invention That Promises to Make Lifts
Worth Living for Many.
The wind has long been tempered to
the shorn lamb, but the baldhead has
had to take the blasts as they came. No
special dispensations in the matter Of
weather have been made ON his account.
He has had to look out for himself, and
the fact that he survives so numerously
e perhaps better evidence of his hustling
ability than of his innate goodness.
Why, no one appears able to tell, but
certain it is that from time immemorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
reverence.
twill be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to Ego up This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved journey to sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. Be
that as it may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute of hairy adornment has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule

turning, and the baldhead's turn has
come at last. Some enterprising philan-
thropist has invented a polish for the
hairless crown which is warranted to
turn it into a thing of beauty and joy
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of a polish, which is easily ap-
piled by n barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown shine so brilliant
that it dazzles the eyes and so smooth
that upon it no fly can gain foothold.
Those who have never experienced
the joys and sorrows of badness may
not be able to appreciate the value of
this discovery. The value is there just
the same. With little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall an easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while he can lie down to
dreams unhroken by the assaults Of
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is at hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
covery cannot be overrated. With his
sparsely matched crown protected from
the attacks Of envious Cascas the bald
/ head will recover from his tendency to-
ward the use of unauthorized expletives,
and he may even rise to the point OF
taking front seat in the sanctuary in
| fly time. Relieved of the necessity for
turning his skull into a block upon
which to butcher the musca domestica,
ETC., he will be able to turn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he has
long stood in need.
If there is justice in all things, the
man who makes two blades Of grass
grow where one has grown before will
have to take back seat when the in
ventor of the polish for baldheads comes
/ in for his reward.
Verify, these be glorious times, and
the baldhead is one of the chief partici-
pators in them.-Troy Times

Adams House in Boston. A New York
club man came in and stood talking
with some one in the lobby for several
minutes.
After he had gone out the man he had
been talking with came over to me-he
was q friend Of miue-and put this qucs-
ton; "How does Hicks Yardly dress so
wellf He has only $1,000 year, and
yet he manages to dress himself so as to
look much better garbed than any Bos-

how many men know how to have their
coats cut or their shoes shapeds They
leave it to their tailors, and most tailors
cut a coat the same for a STRIPPING of
twenty as they would for an alderman.
Hicks Yardly would have informed
the Boston man that his hat was too
broad brimmed, his collar was too high
in front and too low IN the back; that
his cravat was blue and his violeta pur-

that his waistcoat hung down like an

him like belt; that his trousers were
tight to the knee and loose from there
down, whereas they should have been
the reverse; that his shoes turned up at
the toes-the sole Of the English made
shoe touches the ground from tip to
heel; that his gloves were russell, whereas
they should have been brick color; that
his hair was short on top and long be-
hind, whereas it should be long on top
aud short behind; that his mustache
ahanld not be waxed; that his topcoat
was loose in front and tight fitting in
the back, whereas the reverse should be
the case; that his stick was a buckhorn,
in the face of the well known fact that
no true man of the world would carry
nowadays any other than an all wood
cane.
