SALT WATER FOR sPRINKLrNG.
Now Being Used With Success in Several
of the English Cities.

Now Being Used With Success In Several
of the English Cities.
The practice has become quite prev
alent at English seaports to use salt
water for street sprinkling, and the
method and result, according to the
Boston Transcript, are pronounced
very satisfactory. At Yarmouth, which
has a population of about fifty thou
sand, the salt water is pumped by a
gas engine, driving a pump of twenty
five thousand gallons daily capacity
into a tank at a considerable elevation,
whence it is delivered through a
special system of distributing pipes
nine miles long and three to sever
inches diameter; these pipes are of cast
iron, coated inside with a special pre-
sentative compound. The total con-
sumption annually has been five million
gallons for street watering, at a cost
Of five cents per one thousand gallons,
being a considerable saving over the
expense of the same work when fresh
water was used; the statement also is
made hat during the summer months
the dust is kept under by the adhesive
qualities of the salt in the water, and
if the surface coating formed by the
salt is removed by sweepers at the APP
pearance of the first, no disadvanta-
geOus effects can be traced to the usa of
salt water. At Birkenhead it is found
that one spread of salt water on the
surface of a street or Dad proves
equal to about three spreads of fresh
water, as the latter e~vaporates under
the heat of the sun, whereas the crust
on the surface left by the salt water
keeps down the dust for a considerable
length of time. In another locality
the report of the engineer claims that
one load of salt water goes as far as
three of fresh in that place; and in
various other towns where this system
has once been put to the test it has
been adopted as n possessing special
advantages.

Something About Their Costumes, Gus
toms and Mode OF Life.
The ladies attire themselves in the
hOloku. The warm tropical climate
makes loose, flowing gowns a neces-
sity. The young girls wear wreaths
of wild flowers around their brows and
decorate their bodies with chaplets of
green leaves. They do not use gold
jewelry, but ornament their toilet with
the floral beauty of the tropics. They
are fond of outdoor life and live most
of the time in the groves. They sleep
in hammocks under the trees, and have
their dances and feasts in the gr~ottoes
of the forests.
They have little huts in which they
dwell during storms, but are rarely
found in their cottages except in rainy
weather. They build grass-thatched
houses and cover their roofs with
rushes and have wide porches in front
the sun. They like to be neal the sea,
SO they can battle in the waters of the
ocean. They become expert surf riders
and can scale the breakers in h wild
est storms.
Like seagulls they ride the tossing
rollers and smile at the oceans maddest
winds. In their little boats they sail
over the blue bosom of the Pacific and
cruise many miles away from their
island shores. Their little crafts cross
the channels from island to island and
visit all the ports in the archipelago.
They are not afraid of the ocean soil
tudes, but are at home on its watery
and find delight in its expanse

ONE OF DEPEw's STORIES.

Told Some Years Ago. Chauncey Now Haa
One hundred and Nine Variations of 1t.
Speaking of the way some of his pet
stories were denuded of pith bv those
who, after hearing them from his lips.
told them to others, Chauncey Depew
SAID recently: "A coon story I told in
boston half a dozen years ago is still
gong the rounds Ihave collected one
and nine versions Of It. and |
not venture to guess how MANY
have escaped me. Were it not that T
caught the first ones and followed IN
the trail ! would never, within a month
after telling it, have recognized nv
own story. The great joke is that I
nave heard gentlemen repeat one or
other OF the e~masculated versions with
n assurance that they were among
the hunters. AS the yarn went. some
coon hunters following a hot track
found the dogs barking around a big
sycamore on the edge of a shallow
stream. The hunters thought they saw
the coon IN the tree-top, and one fellow
climbed to shake it off. Fifty feet or
SO above the earth the climber encoun-
tered a big bump that encircled the
Tree. win great difficulty he at last
climbed over the obstruction and was
much chagrined to find that what he
look to be a coon was but a woody
eXcrescence. Then he Skinned down
TO the bump, over which he slid feet
first, but wriggle and stretch as best
he could he could not bring his
legs to the trunk below. The bump
prevented it. He crawled up again
and shouted to his comrades: ''Oh.
lordy, boys, I'm freed 'sted of the coon,
an I'll stay here till Gabriel blows
less the river rises fifty feet an floats
me off, Some Of the adaptations
picture the coon sitting on the bump
holding the hunter at bay, others have
the river rising in the nick of time, and
a third class bring the other hunters
up the sycamore and over the bump
until the three are freed and praying
for a high stage of water"

CanarfeS In Germany.

For more than q century the breed

the German dealers began to ship the
birds to New York, and then to South
America and Australia. The profits
are small, but the industry is a god

about two hundred and fifty thousand
canary birds are raised every year in

TO this country they are always accom

BISHOP GRAFTON.

AT the recent visitation of Bishop
Grafton to st. Johns mission Centralia
class of eleven persons were confirmed
The weather was inclement and some
of the remaining candidates sick hence
the confirmation Of q number was post
poned. The alter was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion and a large
audience assembled to hear the emf
nent Divine. The Bishop was i'll too ill
to stand, and was assisted in the service
by Rev. R. H. Weller and yet there was
no disappointment felt. The impress
siveness of the service was rendered
.doubly so by the evident weakness, and
self abnegation of the bishop in per-
forming confirmation rites. 1t was a
pleasure to the entire audience to see
and hear man who everywhere COM
mands large audiences. He is especial
lv interested in st. Johns church and
has evidenced his kindly care of it on
several occasions, and it is fitting that
he should receive q warm welcome on
these rare visits here.
Bishop Grafton is in very feeble
health owing to over work and self
devotion in the cause that he has given
his life to its promotion and grave fears
are felt for his recovery

MAY DAYS.

The last few days have brought vege.
tation forward wonderfully. Trees are
budding, and tiny leaves appearing and
the woods are bright with flowers. The
anemone and arbutus are brought to
the city by basketsfull while buttercups
and "goslings" and pussy willows help
to make pretty bouquets. The ground
is in splendid condition for the quick
termination of seeds and gardening has
been quite generally commenced.
In cultivated flowers the tulip and
narcissus with their vivid colors, vie
with the pansy and violet for prece-
dence. Winter green berries are
found in great abundance and the crisp
tender leaves IRE much sought for. To
lovers of nature each day brings new
charm to the landscape, and the awak-
ening to life of dormant vegetation, the
return of song birds and even the
Singing Of the frogs possesses charm
and invites one to go forth in the early
morning, and at evening.
The balmy days of May are short and
full of promise, enjoy them while we
may as every day spent out of doors
adds to long life and happiness.

FISHING PARTY.

Did you ever 60 fishing? If so, did
you catch any? Monday afternoon
Messrs. Del White, J. R. Chapman,
J. 0. HSbert and the writer formed a
party of four for an afternoons outing.
We provided ourselves with a fine
lunch and all the paraphernalia neces-
sary for catching boat load of fish in
an hour. We drove to Port Edwards
the "noted" fishing grounds where
muskelonge weighing something less
than one hundred pounds are caught
We spread our tent and made ready for
the onslaught The four of Us fshed
steadily for one hour. Not one of us
received even ''bite" to encourage us.
Mr.. Chapman swears he had one bite,
but the balance of us believe his hook
caught on a snag. Our efforts were in
vain. We devoured the lunch and
spent the remaining time we had
shooting at mark. The fishing was a
failure but the lunch and shooting was
a great success.
