UnanswerabIe Proof.

Some years since was one Of a rather
hilarious party driving through the Adj
rondack woods. In lucid, serious mo-
ment one of the party asked the name of
q low growth shrub along the roadside.
"It's sycamore" some one responded.
"The people in this region call it syca-
more, and they know" A sharp discus
sion followed, and a naturalist would
have writhed to hear the heterodox CLASH
fications, the first speaker persisting ''it
is sycamore"
"But Scriptures against that theory"
said theological student finally, and
we clamored for the counter evidence.
"Zaccheus resorted to a sycamore tree
to see his Lord. and the injunction was,
'Zaccheus, come downP Now, II the

ON Foundry street.
"Well, what do you wantT queried
the cook snappishly, for she had been

"No, ma'am," replied the tramp as
honestly as he knew how.
"Oh, you DON'T" she sneered. "Then
you want something to drink. Tramps
are always ready to drink"
mo, ma'am, I don't want anything to

Maybe you wantan old pair of pants,

Mr.. rsnp.s Lack Of numor.

Mr.. Rehm announces in the papers
that If his wife. who disappeared last
week. does not return within three days
he win forfeit all claims to her." In
reality he forfeited all claims to her when
he came home intoxicated ON Easter Sun
day and belabored her with club. But
Mr.. Rehm Is not ahumorist. He is mere
ly dull sort Of fellow who does not ap-
preciate the magnanimity Of his wife In
merely leaving him instead Of landing
him IN the proper place for wife beaters.

The water supply of the Dutch city
bearing the picturesque name Of Lee
warden is taken from q small lake OF
brackish and somewhat yellow water
near the place. To purify it for domes-
tic purposes 1t is @rated, filtered and
allowed to settle quietly in large tanks.
The @ration is accomplished by allow
ing the water to fall down series Of
steps, and in it's fall an additional ele-
ment of publication is introduced in the
form Of q solution of alum, which Is
forced into the water by pumps, oper-
ating at the same rate as the main pump
ing engines, 80 that the amount Of solu-
ton will always bear fixed ratio to
the amount of water. From these steps
the water passes to set Of fours citing
basins holding about I, 200, 900 gallons in
all, where all the coarser impurities are
allowed to settle to the bottom.
From these basins the water flows to
three filter beds, each having an area OF
about $500 square feet and consisting
Of top layer Of fine sand from the dunes,
underlaid by coarse river sand, sea
shells, fine gravel and coarse gravel.
The rate of filtration is about 2t inches
an hour and is controlled by series OF
automatic valves so arranged that when
the effiuent falls in quantity below its
usual amount the depth of water over
the beds is increased, thereby making
the pressure which forces the water
through the filtering material, and thus
increasing the yield. From the filterina
beds the water. clear and wholesome aft.

Accomplishment of Japanese Daughter

Japanese daughters are taught how TO
sew while yet quite little tots, and as
they grow older in years and skill are
initiated into the mysteries of art needle
work. Then the daughters are instruct
ed in music, a certain knowledge Of the
samisen, koto or some other musical in
strument being regarded as requisite
accomplishment in even the poorer and
middle classes, while the daughters Of
the higher classes and nobility are well
versed in art, music and the poetry Of
the country. The other accomplishments
deemed desirable in women consist prin-
cipally in the artistic arrangement Of
flowers and the details Of ceremonial tea
making and drinking (cha-no-yu).--Dr.
