A Remarkable Dam.

One of the most remarkable dams
in the world for height and construc-
ton is that by which the Vyrawy Riv-
er, Northern Wales, is enabled to sup
ply water to the city of Liverpool,
some seventy miles distant. In build
ing this dam a great trench was first
excavated across the valley for
length of l, 100 feet, a width of 100
and maximum depth of go. The
masonry was started in this trench; it
consists of immense irregular blocks of
slate, wedged together and thoroughly
bedded in Portland cement mortar,
the faces being formed of cut stone
blocks fitted together with great care,
the greatest height of the dam being
161 feet. It's most remarkable feat
ure is the lack of any channel to carry
off floods, the surplus in the lake flow
ing down the front of the dam, which
is curved to permit as free q descent
as possible and prevent the formation
of eddies at the bottom. The lake
formed by this main dam covers an
area four and three-quarters miles
long, from one-quarter tofve-eighths
of mile wide and holds largely over
$4,000, 900 gallons. The aqueduct
leading from the intake tower to the
distributing reservoir, about two miles
from the city, is sixty-eight miles long
and consists principally of a large cast
iron pipe line from thirty-nine to for
ty-two inches in diameter. There are
a number of reservoirs and tanks
along the line and at one place is a
great filtering plant.

times he examined the trough.

Killing SparrOws.

Michigan has already tried the boun-
ty system in dealing with sparrows,
paying one cent o head, but the result
has not been satisfactory. This meth
cd does not seem to work. In 1887
the Territory of Montana offered 10
cents each for the scalps of prairie
dogs and five cents for ground squir-
rels. In six months $4,000 had been
paid out. but the number of animals
destroyed had produced no perceptible
effect on the abundance. 1t has been
estimated that the State of Ohio con.
tains 80, 100000 sparrows.
Supposing that it were possible to
keep the birds from coming into that
State from outside during five years,
it would cost $11, 1000, 600 to reduce the
number of birds in the same period to
$50, 900 by giving a bounty, Thus it
is apparent that the European house
sparrow has come into this countr toy
stay, and there is not the slightest
prospect that it will ever be less nu-
merous than at present, the only limit
to its increase being that of feed sup
supply.
Great numbers, however, may be
destroyed by the systematic demoi-
ton of nests and eggs. By the aid OF
an iron hook on the end of q long
pole most of the nests can be brought
down. A hose played at night on the
trees and vines in which they roost
will kill the young and drive the adults
away. In Australia and New Zealand
the farmers poison the sparrows by al
lowing a bag of poisoned wheat toleak
over the tail of cart along the road,

A most interesting experiment ia
about to be tried in Massachusetts.
With the consent of the Governor
and his Council, the warden of the
State Prison at Charleston has released
on parole prisoner who has served
five years of twenty-five years sem
tence under the Habitual Criminal act.
This is new thing in the Common
wealth, says the New York Tribune.
The man secures his parole under
strict conditions, such as that he must
not lead an idle or dissolute life, nor
visit any barroom, gambling-house or
vile resort, nor associate with persons
of bad character, and that he must
lead an upright, industrious and law
abiding life. If he violates the con-
ditions he will be returned to the
prison to serve out the full remainder
of his sentence.

had just entered the cabin

so to speak-compared to their
brilliancy. And the fun of it is they
are SO unconscious.
Two young men and sick girl, ac-
customed to the refnements of civil
cation, trying to consider life great
joke in this rude cabin on far away
ranch.
1t was romantic situation, and
"deucedly unconventional" as they
admitted.
One of the men--a young doctor
had buried charming wife, and was
rushing away from sad memories to try
life in a new land, together with an
other young adventurer.
When in New York, where they had
stayed a few days, they met Bessie
Mason, an old school friend of both,
apparently dying with consumption,
and quite alone in the world.
She had longed for breath of the
balmy south, last chance for life;
but under the circumstances it was USE
less. Now the coming of these friends
revived the thought
600 with us, said the doctor: "you
will get well. We will adopt you"
"Oh, to think of it restores me al
most; but it is impossible"
The impulsiye young men, persuad-
ing themselves that the change would
save the girls life, finally succeeded in
overcoming her scruples.
She bore the journey maryelously,
and leaving her in little hotel in
Texas, they prepared to set up house
keeping on sheep ranch not far off
The doctor, riding over every day
to see the sick girl, soon became con-
vinced that more cure was needed than
could be had in that place.
Beside their cabin fire, the two
friends held consultation, and the
verdict was that Bessie must come
home.
"We must take care of her." they
said. Yes, by Georgel now we've
brought her 50 far away. But ought
we to adopt her or marry her?"
'I'll settle it, said the doctor, ''I've
had more experience than you"
The next day he told Bessie that the
cabin was quite comfortable now, that
they had accomplished wonders in the
way of furnishing and decorating.
''You ought to see it, Beats this
place all hollow. Now we only need a
woman for company. Fact is, Bessie,
you must give me husbands right to
bring you home and get you we'll"
'Dear, kind old schoolmate, 1 see il

wedding, no matter how happy the
occasion. The big, strong-armed hos
tess at the hotel, in bright calico
gown, who stood up with the best
man, did justice to the circumstances
in the lachrymal line.
The sick girls eyes shone like stars,
and her thin cheeks we're flushed with
happiness. The resolute manner of
the doctor, conveying the idea that he
was being sworn to snatch his bride
from the jaws of death, his friend seri-
GUS and sympathetic, the gaudy
bridesmaid, perhaps never had SO
genuine an occasion for tears.
When the pathetic reaches a GER
tain pitch, the ludicrous sometimes
comes in to relieve the tension. The
pendulum swings.
1t was a custom of the old parson
that dispensed connubial ties in that
section, to bring the bride pres
ent.
He had ridden many miles with a
queer thing fastened to his saddle
bags, which he brought in and gave
the bride with awkward ceremony,
explaining that he always "got 'em all
alike, so as there wouldn't be no jeal-
ousy."
1t was abonnet, covered with bright,
cheap flowers, which he insisted on put
ting on the sick brides head.
This incongruity furnished vent
to the strained feelings of the party.
When the newly-made husband shook
the parsons hand, and assured him
that no gift could have been more ap-
propriate, the poor man, though we'll
satisfied, was Il trihe puzzled.
In the cabin home, Bessie seemed to
grow better. She became interested
in the ranch, the sheep-raising, and
was fond of the young lambs which
were brought in.
The two friends We'd with each
other in making her comfortable.
/
They ranged the country for such
delicacies as could be had, which she
showed them how to prepare. and
forced herself to taste.
They made merry over their domes-
tic blunders, and daily brought the
budget of fun from outside.
The inquiry of the kind-hearted
neighbors, "How's yo' ole woman to.
day?" always brought down the
house." and Bessie's slaves as she
called the two friends, made her mock
Difference as "the ole woman"
The young men were scarcely con
scious how largely she entered into
their lives, until the turn came, and
they had to face the fact that she was
fading rapidly.
At last the dread messenger entered
the cabin, and the three resolute ma
lures, who had made brave fgh
against him, had to yield.
God reward you, dear old chums,
the dying girl said feebly, giving
hand to each.
The doctor bent low to catch he
last word, "My husbandl 1 may cal
