AT THE CITY HALL.

The Troublesome Sixteen nth District Sew
er-On1y One Bid.
City Clerk McFadden has been adver-
tiseing for ten days for bids for the con-
struction of sewer in district No 16,
which is bounded by Jefferson, Quincy,
Tenth and Thirteenth streets. These
bids were to have been in by o o'clock
last evening, and when that hour arriv-
ed only one bid had been submitted, and
while it isn't supposed to be known I'M
til opened whose bid it is, there is no
doubt that it belongs to c. ]. Rosen.
If Mayor Harrison had been in the
city there would have been council
meeting last night to give Mr.. Rosen the
contract, and thus get rid of the matter
that has been source of annoyance since
last fall. The mayor is in Wichita on
business and may be away until Friday.
Under the circumstances a meeting will
not be held until next Monday
The history of sewer is is one of blum
ders, delay and litigation. 1t was omitted
from the big sewer IA for reasons that
nobody can explain, except few who do
SO in whispers. BY an oversight the
city engineer neglected to swear to the
estimate of the cost of sewer 16, last
fall, and after it was about half COM
pleted one of the property owners sue
ceeded in securing an injunction to pre-
vent the city from levying a tax to pay
for the sewer on this technicality. L his
put effectuaI stop to the operations,
and it became necessary to begin at the
first again, and advertise for bids. The
clerk did this but nobody bid on the work
and the clerk has been again advertising,
with the result that Mr.. Rosen made a
bid, probably at his old figure. New es-
Inmates were made, and this time duly
sworn to.
In the meantime Contractor Rosen who
had done all the work on the sewer and
had material on hand to complete it, had
not been paid for his work, and the city
had no way of paying for it. Mr.. Rosen
was liable to get big damage from the
city. By giving Mr.. Rosen the contract
at the old figure the matter is amicably
settled, and this seems to be the best
way out of the muddle.

THE CITY DUMP.
Tt is to BE Made a Self Supporting In
stitutiOn.

stitutiOn.
City Attorney Tillotson is preparing
an ordinance to regulate and control the
been purchased from I. w. Durham for
$3.50. The ordinance is largely an ex-
perimental measure as the city never
owned an institution of this sort before,
and the ordinance will have to be
changed later as the needs of the case
demand.
It is proposed to make the dump
barely self-supporting. The city is not
intended to use the dump for money
making purposes, but the contrary
make its charges as small as the expense
of operating will allow. Col. Durham
charged ten cents per barrel for the use
of the dump. The city will charge five
cents at first, and later make the charge
greater or smaller as need be.
MIR. Tillotson is preparing the ordi-
nance under the direction of the Ways
and Means committee, to which it was
referred by the city council

give the Common Cow Il Chance.

The possibilities of the common COW
nave been strikingly demonstrated by in
teresting experiments at the Cornell exper-
lnent station in New York. Prof Rob
erts says, as reported by the Homestead,
IhaJ the average farmer can make a better
ualry COW than the Island or Jersey ever
saw, and with common stock to start with.
lney started with common stock at Cor
nell with a prOduCtian of less than 5000
pounds OF milk per COW per year, and have
now secured an average of 5000 pounds.
Inc herd includes both Holsteins and Jer-
seys They have Jerseys that have gone
beyond the G000 line. A good dairy farmer
can do better than this, because he has the
direct control, and does his own work of
FEEDING and milking while Prof. Roberts
with his classroom and other work, has to
care for the stock at arms length. The
grain fed at the Cornell university farm for
average animals consists as a rule of about
eight pounds of grain per day for each COW
IN milk, This grain is composed of one
fourth cotton-seed, one-fourth bran and
one-half oats, corn or other grain that can
be got at reasonable price. These foods
are easily procurable by almost every
farmer. Now what the farmer should do
IS to procure these foods and experiment i'm
MS own barn with the ordinary stock of
his neighborhood. Tins should be done
by the use of the very best type of dairy
bulls and selecting the best of heifer calves.
Prof. Roberts bought from the country
two cows that were, so far as known. dcs-
ttute of "blood," and to the everlasting
credit of these two "scrubs" one gave 5000
pounds of milk and 3S2 pounds of butter

What, then, is meant by saving time?
Simply 50 to improve its opportunities as
to produce the best results. There is one
very common mistake made Just here
Many persons suppose that this can only
be done by unceasing employment. To
save every minute of time means to them
TO rOrk every minute. and all time spent
otherwise is regarded as practically wasted
1t is with regret that they see the necessity
of sleep and other refreshment, and they
conscentously reduce these to the least
possible amount, that they may lose no
more than they can help.
But if our test is in the quality as well
as the quantity of the results We shall find
that much time is actually wasted by very
industrious and busy people, who suppose
that they are saving every minute. Truly
good work of any kind can only be accom-
plished when the faculties used are in a
sound and healthy condition. If the la
borer's arm be weak and his frame fatigued
his blows cannot be firm and strong; if
the mechanic lacks skill and judgment,
his work must be inferior; if the artist 5
eye be defective, his picture cannot be
true; if the authors brain be weary, he
cannot realize his best possibilities. Yet
each of them may be necessarily tOling,
and, as they suppose, not wasting min
ute, while in truth they are wasting pre-
cious hours by not bringing their intelli-
gence to bear upon the real need of their
work.
Over-strained faculties can never bring
but the best results; overwork is always a
waste of time, and, though it may not
seem to be so at first, eventually the sad
truth is always manifested, To cut off
needed recreation: to curtail the hours OF
sleep; to postpone vacation Indefinitely
to refuse to take rest and ease and change
under the impression that thus time is
saved, is always short-sighted policy and
often a fatal mistake. The time arrives
when the poor abused faculties take their
revenge and refuse to serve altogether, or
to do it in so feeble fashion as to show
their deterioration Phiiddciphjd LedgGr

government whitewash.

The complete success is well known of
the formula for whitewash adopted by the
United States government as a coating for
lighthouses, and for its effectual prevention
of any moisture striking through the walls.
1t is simply the mixing with fresh water,
in the most thorough manner, of three
parts ROsendale cement and one part of
fine clean sand, this giving gray or gran
ite color, dark or light, according to the
color of the cement; if a very light color is
desired, lime is used with the cement and
sand; if brick color is sought, enough We
netian red is added to the original mixture
as to insure that result. Care is exercised
to have the various ingredients well mixed
together-also, in applying the wash, to
have the wall wet with clean fresh water
following Immediately with the cement
wash-this method preventing the bricks
from absorbing the water from the wash
too rapidly, and it also gives time for the
cement to be properly set. The mixture is
made as thick as can be conveniently APP
piled with a whtewash brush in the usual
manner, and the wash is well stirred during
the process of its application. 1t is stated,
however, that, though this mixture is so
admirably suited TO: the purpose in ques-
ton, it cannot be used to advantage over
paint or whiteWash.

4 Name for Every Bee In the Hive.

The "smart' city boy has countless Won
derful stories to tell to his country cousin
when he goes to the farm for part of the
summer. The city may not be a good
place for him to stay in the warm weather,
but it is a good place to brag about. City
Boy got caught, however, when he had
pumped Country boy full of yarns about
marvellous things in the metropolis.
"Well, | know" said Country Boy with
an angelic look on his freckled face, "but
my uncle over to Cross Roads beats 'em
all. He's got 20 hives of bees and he's
got name for every bee"
City Boy jeered, but Country Boy stuck
to his yarn stubbornly until City Boy see
ing chance to get a big story to tell in
the city, was convinced.
"Well," he said, "tell me some of the
names. What does he call some of them?"
Bees" said Country Boy, his face as
eXpressionless as a freckled flour sack,
'just bees. He calls 'em all bees. "-New

The ladybird, to which many genera

BILE insect destroyer, and has the freedom of

special enemy of the little green aphis that
destroys tender plants, and the ladybird is
always seen upon rose bushes in the sum

tacks the rose. Every such insectivorous

who struggle with the ever-.ncreasing
