larry off the water which tlows
down the hill, and the anCients
used to construct bitches so
that when carriages crossed them
A broken spring was the result.
1t was rumored during that era
that the road builder was also a
carriage builder hence, the con

countries adopting modern
it is customary to run
the water in such places under
ground and to cover the bitches
at cross streets with heavy
planks. 1t is understood that
during the next century, some
time, the same plan will be-
adopted here. lhere is certain

stove in your life than the "Pan
sy," it's good because it is eco
nomical of fuel and is a good

chasers of the "Pansy' have OBJ
ieCted to it because there was nc
! hot water back to the stove. We
have reduced this one per cent
to nil by obtaining water backs
from the factory. This is very
slight additional expense anC
puts a cheap stove on a par with
a high priced one in the matter
Of convenience.
There are some people who
won't burn wood or coal on &C
