SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
Relieving the canal at short intervals of its sur
plus water, thus preventing the washing away of
banks, and causing great damage generally, not
alone to canal, but property owners all along the
line, who may suffer more or less damages there
after for the want of water owing to the damaged
condition of canal and while such repair, are being
made Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of
its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex-
pense, but by its use the first cost of canal con-
structon will be materially lessened as the banks
need not be made so high or wide
The device is extremely simple, and compare
livery inexpensive lCS plan OF operation IS TINS:
There is pipe fastened to an opening in the
vertical gate, 1. When the body of water rises to
the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs
freely into the tank, 8, which is Immediately filed
TINS overbaancing the weight, 4. which is on the
other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate
which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur
plus of water. When body of water recedes below
certain level, no more water is admitted to the
tank; it therefore empties itself by small faucet
opening, 8, at the bottom; this being done, the
weight overbalances tank, and brings down the
lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate,
closes it. This operation continues at short in
tervals, so long the body of water keeps rising
over a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and
tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, a hori
zontal shaft. The gate, Aume or bex can be made
any height width or length desired. The gate can
be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is

Over the eastern branch of the Poto-
mac, in Anacosta, better known as Union
town during the war, there was buried
recently a woman whose story did much
to stimulate the antislavery sentiment
in the north. She was revelation of
the possibilities of patient negro ambi-
ton. Born fifty-six years ago, in Prince
George county, Md, she was little
slave girl of six when her owner put her
out to service in Washington family.
At that age she began to hoard money to
buy her freedom. Year after year she
put by the pennies, for nothing larger
fell to her in tips.
She had collected 800 in coppers when
the attention of some of the public men
of that day was called to her. Hannibal
Hamlin, then in congress but afterward
vice president, became especially inter
ested. He told the story of Emeline
Belt with such pathos that $3.50 was con-
tributed by northern people. Then a
series of entertainments was given to aid
her, and a few years before the war the
girl, grown to womanhood, was able to
hand over to her master 800 and receive
her freedom

She coo,d Tell an American.

A young Canadian woman told an Amer
lean, when he was in Canada, that she
could tell an American as far as she could
see him, by his manner, the cut of his
clothes and his general appearance. The
American confessed that he could not dis
tinguish an American from a Canadian.
"Well," she said, there is a man over
there whom don't know, but do know
from his looks that he is an American"
The other was not willing to give in that
he was beaten until it was conclusively
proved, so when an opportunity came they
listened to catch some of his words, in
order to decide the question by his accent.
This, too, proved unsatisfactory, and the
young woman, reckoning her brother to
come over to her, said i wish you would
find out the name of that American stand
ing over there" "What Americana" asked
the brother. 1.-THE stout one, with the
gray beard and silk hat" she explained
''Oh, pshaw' replied the brother, don't
you know who that isi He's the post
master of your own town." There was
neither low music nor slow curtain, for
this all took place on tennis field, but the
effect WAS just as good.-New York Trib

Men who Mature Early.

There are men whose powers ripen early.
Young men who attract the eye and COM
mand the ear at thirty, who are forgotten
at fifty. We could enumerate many whose
powers eliminated at forty and who fell
into decay speedily at a time when a man
should be in his prime. The national legis-
lature presents examples. The same may
be said of our state legislature, and it is
true of commerce, and in the ministry, and
in the legal profession. When we investi-
gate the causes we find as rule that the
man who reaches the apex of his career at
forty or before it is not well rounded in
character.
There is a noticeable lack. 1t may be of
self control. 1t may be Astounding self
love and it may be unwise, uncalled for
animosity to his fellows, an ungovernable
temper or an unconquerable bad habit.
A directory composed of practical men
were canvassing the claims of candidates
for an important and highly trustworthy
position. The candidate most favored was
young man who had distinguished him
self in several ways. The president of the
board summed up the accomplishments of
the applicant, then gravely announced his
decision. I'VE want" said he "a young
man with ambition. This candidate is
likely to rely upon past achievements. 1

A Remarkable Fire Escape.

Fire escapes have hitherto, as rule,
been limited to ropes and ladders, which
are often rendered useless either by the
fire or by the rush of people and the diff
Guilty women and children have in making
use of them. A new fire escape seems to
avoid many of the usual drawbacks. It
consists of a form of elevator attached to
the back of a building, with fireproof doors
leading into it from the end of each hall
way on every floor. The doors close auto
matically and the person entering it is at
once shut off from the fire. He steps on
a platform in the elevator and his own
weight will take him to the bottom and
land him out of doors.
The elevator works automatically and
cannot be put out of order by hasty use.
The weight of child is sufficient to send
it to the bottom, the speed being regulated
automatically by common governor at
tached to the top. Any number of people
could be going down at the same time
without increasing the speed. The plat
forms are attached to an endless chain,
folding as they pass up and falling into
place as they come down-Exchange.

wbv She STONED the Car.

On Tuesday broken trolley wire de-
layed the Western avenue street cars an
hour or more just at dinner time. When
the first west bound car passed Twelfth
street the conductor was awakened from
a reverie by cry from within the car
to stop, while younger lady was seen
wildly gesticulating, apparently for his
benefit. The car was stopped. The
young woman, out of breath, ran up to
within few feet and shouted: ma,

every time 20 out something happens. y
Mrs. Barry said nothing. She smoothed
her hair softly and sighed.
For five years Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Levy and
Mrs Jones had been neighbors. Mrs. Jones
lived in the middle Of block of three story
brownstone houses with Mrs. Levy land
Mrs Barry to right and left OF her. All
the women had front stoop and back
fence acquaintance, but while Mrs. Barry
and Mrs. Levy exchanged calls at all hours
of the day and in all toilets. neither had
ever been in Mrs. Jones' house nor had she
visited them.
The reason was good and sufficient.
Mr.. Barry and Mr.. Levy were in business
for themselves. Mr.. Jones was only a
bookkeeper.
Besides, the Leyys and the Barrys had
pianos for years, and they occupied the
whole house; the Joneses had been in the
habit of letting out the upper part of their
house. Only u week ago the Joneses' sub
tenant had left, and Mrs. Levy and Mrs.
Barry had specialized on the probabilities
of their neighbours financial disaster.
And now, without any warning to the
Levys and Barrys, the Joneses eclipsed
| them in splendor. 1t WAS inexplicable and
1 very annoying.
| For three weeks after the great events
narrated above, Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Barry
had no rest. Neither had Mrs. Jones.
First it was Mrs. Levy at the Joneses
basement bell, then it was Mrs Barry ovel
the back fence, and then the Barrys' and
Levys' servant girls in turn.
Mrs. Levy begged Mrs Jones' pardon
