Richard was so brutal and terrorizing in his
manner towards his parents that they were
afraid to live with him. Richard had taken
the father by the whiskers and pulled him

Woolly." The boy in court this morning
sail. in his charging the boy, told him a lit

be long upon the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee"

DAMASCUS WATER WORKS.
They Are the Oldest i'm In World
and PERTAINS the Worst.

A recent work on sanitary engineering
says that Damascus possesses, in all proba-
lily, the oldest water works in the world.
The city itself is the most ancient of exist
ing cities, having seen the rise and fall of the
Greek and Roman empires of Babylon,
Nineveh, Palmyra and Jeru salem. When
taken by the Saracens from the Roman the
water works already existed, and it is prob
able that the latter constructed the works,
which still exist Inc supply the town.
Damascus lies in a valley on the River
ALBANIA, which flow from the Lebanon hills
and is lost in the desert to the east of the
town. In spite of a copious supply of excel
lent water Damascus has had no immunity
from epidemics, owing to the fact that the
double canalizatlon for water supply and
drainage, being more or less leaky, saturated
the soil and raised the spring level nearly
to the surface, and the ewers are rarely if
ever cleaned, are not systematically ventil-
ated, and they pass under many of the
houses. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
Damascus is and always was an insalubrious
town.-EUening Sun.

THE MAKING OF POSTAGE STAMPS

Every part of postage-stamp making is
done by hand. The designs are engraved on
steel, 200 stamps on a single plate. These
plates are linked by two men, and then are
printed by a girl and a man on a large hand
press. They are dried as fast as printed and
then gummed with a starch paste made from
potatoes. This paste is dried by placing the
sheets in a steam tanning machine, and then
the stamps are subjected to a pressure of
1900 tons in a hydraulic press. Next the
sheets are cut so that each one contains 100
stamps. after which the paper between the
stamps is perforated, and after being pressed
the sheets are fled away. If a single stamp
is injured the whole sheet is burned.-St.
Paul Pioneer Press.

BRITISH ADMIRALs LOST AT SEA

Sir George Tryon is the fourth British
Admiral who has lost his life by shipwreck
OF disaster unconnected with warfare since
the beginning of the last century. In Octo-
Der, 1907, Sir Cloudesley Shovel shared the
fate of the crew of the Association, and on
April 30, 1892, Admiral Kempenfeldt was
drowned by the s'heeling over'' of the Royal
George. The great loss of life by the sinking
of the Victoria is ascribed to her sudden
keeling over, as in the case of the Royal
George; but the present catastrophe is, by
comparison, not nearly as appalling as the
when Admiral Reynolds and 1000 sailors
p~erished,-London World.

CONCERNING SENTIMENT.

It is a habit with many persons to sneer
at sentiment; but it is a mistaken and de-
grading habit. Sentiment is one of the
highest and sacredest elements of our ma
ture. 1t is the living tie between reason
and sense. Sentiments are the moral echoes
of ideas in feeling. Filial love is a senti-
ment. Every idea of the mind reflected in
responsive sense generates an saeeordant SEN
timent which is the actual fulfllment and
fruition of tine two. To nave ideas and
sensations without sentiment is to nave a
fragmentary humanity or to be morally
dead-Boston Transcript,

PARKER AND 0DONNELL
The Police Captain Doesn't Like the
Justice.

Justice.
Detective Smith yesterday arrested Thos.
j. Mulvey of No. 527 East Fifteenth street,
New York, employed as a bartender by
Michael Reynolds of No. 800 Grove street,
for selling liquor without a license. Mulvey
was released on bail. This morning it was
shown that in December last the Board OF
Aldermen had granted Reynolds a license,
but for some reason best known to himself
he did not pay for it. When Smith arrested
Mulvey, Reynolds at once hurried to City
Clerk SCOTS office, paid for his license, and
now has it hung in his saloon.
Justice O'Donnell dismissed the charge
against the prisoner, and, in discharging
him, said that inasmuch as the Aldermen
had granted the license to Reynolds he did
not believe it necessary to punish the bar
tender for the proprietor's neglect. Captain
Farrier takes exception to the ruling and
says that a man III his precinct arrested for
a similar offense would be fined OF sent be-
fore the Grand Jury.

THE SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.
Miss Bradford's Charitable Enter

The social settlement fairly opened its
season yesterday, at its rooms, at No. 1856
Grand street. 1t was a Mothers Tea"
given by Mrs. Thomas H. Bird of Brooklyn,
a social event pure and simple, which gave
an opportunity for mothers, whose Juvenile
tyrants give them little time out of doors to
meet each other for an hour or so of relaxa-
ton and talk over a cup of tea. The floral
decorations were composed of some ten or
twelve babies, who had come as specially in
vited guests, and behaved in the most ex-
emplary way. Mrs. Bird was assisted in
receiving by Miss Cornelia Bradford, who
also assisted in passing the refreshments,
tea and cake, with real old-fashioned twisted
New England doughnuts. This is but the
first of a series of teas, which certainly de-
serve the highest praise for their plan and
fulflment.

Assault.

On the night of January II, Grant Snow,
colored, Richard Dooley and several others
were in Fred Becker's saloon on Grove
street when a row occurred. From the mass
of testimony offered by the witnesses who
were sworn, it t~ranspired that there was a
violin, a guitar and a s%eltzer bottle mixed
up in the affray, and it wound
up by Dooley receiving three stab
wounds in the head. He was discharged from
the hospital this morning. Snow, who is a
seaman, swore that the trouble arose over
his ability, or inability, to play the guitar,
and said that Dooley attacked him with a
settler bottle. He used the knife to defend
did not have the bottle, and Snow was found
guilty. He was sentenced to one year at
hard labor in State Prison.

it was too fishy and the Court promptly con-
yicted him. He was Temanded for sentence.

Ed. Register-Farmers generally
throughout this section unite in prais-
ing the remarkably open winter, which,
except the late cold snap, has been al.
most unprecedented for the mildness
AMI dryness that has characterized it
so far. 1t is hoped, however, that
unpleasant though it would be-we will
have much of real old-fashioned wintry
weather within the next two months;
for, if we do not, it is feared that crops
of all kinds will be failure. 1t is to
be feared that an unusually changeable
and backward spring will cause a
dearth of fruit, but it is more than
likely that fruits-especially apples
will be quite abundant. Generally one
extreme follows another; hence fruit
trees are expected to be unusually pro-
life this year.
