The water Question.

EDITOR EVENING HERALD In looking
over the columns of your valuable paper we
notice am article, or rather notice from the
Shenandoah Water and Gas Company to its
consumers prohibiting the people who are
not ON these works and are ON the public
water works from receiving any water and
making fine of $40 for such violation, to
the various gentlemen that have remained
with them. 1t is true that water is the topic
of the day, and it is rare article at this time
all over the country Thank God that water
was made for us all, for the poor as well as
the rich, and that members Of Council Com
mittee have not been so narrow-minded as to
attack $40 tail to glass of water for the
thirsty The public water works, as stated in
your paper before, have sufficient water to
pull through the drought with little
economy. We certainly do not allow willful
waste, but at no time do we prohibit any of
our customers from giving drink of water,
pure, fresh water, ora bucket full if required,
or have a SO tail attached to it,
A. d. GABLE Chairman.

Music as q Vocation.

II have often wondered why parents
who are casting about to choose professions
for their growing sons do not select mu-
sio," said Herman Berghold of Pittsburg.
lit is as easy for young man to become
equipped with a technical knowledge of
music, such as will fit him to teach it to
others, as it is for him to master the mys-
teries of law or medicine, and the remu-
neration from the first will largely surpass
that from either of the others on the gen.
eral average. 1t is mistaken idea to
think that good musician must be an
excellent performer on the piano or violin.
Some of the best teachers in the world are
woefully deficient in the mechanical exc
cution of music. But they are versed in
the science Of the divine art and under
stand how to convey it's intricate beauties
to Others who already possess the muscular
nature and the sentiment necessary to an
accomplished performer. A we'll trained,
we'll educated teacher of music is always
sure of a comfortable income, no matter
where he may establish himself and the
advance Of higher education among the
masses which is now becoming so general
will make the profession in future an even
more lucrative one for young men to
choose as the field for their life work. -

Tho Telautograph.

Half a century ago there might have
been some suggestion of witchcraft in tho
reproduction of the hand0riting of an in
dividual 800 or 400 miles distant, but quite
recently autographs were sent and received
between London and Paris. In the tests
made the persons writing were known to
the receivers, and there could be no chance
for mistake. Every error, erasure, pecul-
iarity Of construction in the letters or the
evidences of hesitation were given in the
most perfect facsimile. How valuable this
discovery may be as means of identified
tion Is question about which authorities
disagree 1t is said that it is susceptible
Of grave abuses, but this is an objection
that may be applied to most of the good
things of life. As an invention the telau-
tograph ranks with most notable achieve
ments of this most remarkable age.-New

"A very funny experience happened to
me while working up in Montana" said
George Martin. "At the time of which
speak was repairing telegraph lines and
was frequently sent to an isolated region
where some trouble had occurred to the
wire. One morning I received orders to
locate break some so miles away. Board

and soon had the break located and re-
paired

hours I continued to walk along, enjoy

In pleasant thoughts, when all at once I
heard a roaring behind me which sounded
like thunder. Imagine my astonishment
when, turning around, saw a herd of
cattle making straight for me. Without
wasting much time took to my heels
and reaching the nearest telegraph pole
quickly assembled and was soon out of i'm

entire herd completely surrounded me, an
grily paving the ground. l was held a

4 Cats Whiskers.

Nature is an economical dame and never
INDUCES in useless gifts. II she gives an
animal or plant an appendage of any kind,
we may be sure that it serves some wise
purpose.
Take cat 5 whiskcrs, for instance,
which may seem to youto be merely orna-
mental They are organs Of touch, at
tachcd to a bed Of fine glands under the
skin, and each of these long hairs is con
ncctcd with the nerves Of the lip. The
slightest contact of these whiskers with
any surrounding object is thus felt most
distinctly by the animal, although the
hairs themselves are insensible.
They stand out on each side of the lion
as well as the common cat. From point to
point they are equal to the width of the
animals body. If we imagine, therefore,
lion stealing through covert of wood
in an imperfect light, we shall at once see
the use of these long hairs. They indicate
to him through the incest feeling any OBJ
stacle which may present itself to the pas
sage of his body. They prevent the rus
tling Of boughs and leaves which would
give warning to his prey if he were TO at
tempt to pass too close to a bush, and
thus, in conjunction with the soft cush-
ions Of his feet and the fur upon which he
treads the claws never coming in contact
with the ground. they enable him to
move toward his victim with a stiffness
equal to that of snake.

The Pledge In Ireland.

This is the way an Endeavorer from
Dublin illustrates the propriety of the
Christian Eudeavor pledge: What is all
this but an act similar to what every
political representative, privy councillor,
Judge, magistrate and soldier does in
taking the oath of allegiance to the
queen? All such are then pledged to
obey the laws Of the land, do their duty
to their country and to be loyal to the
British constitution. In our service to
God and his kingdom certainly not less
is expected Of Us.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1895-11-28
The Mission of Christian Endeavor.

The mission Of an organization like
the Society Of Christian Endeavor can
be summed up, believe, in the one
idea of larger, deeper, fuller and more
intense spiritual life, which shall make
itself felt i'll every church, in the
strengthening Of every pastors hands,
in the conversion Of souls in every COM
munity, in a better citizenship for our
whole land and in the bringing Of other
lands to a knowledge Of Christ. With
this object supreme all other issues for
which the Christian Endeavor society
has stood and will continually more and
more stand will take their proper place.
Because the young people Of the Society
of Christian Endeavor are better Chris
tians they Will also be better citizens,
more liberal giyers to the cause Of Christ
and broader in their sympathies and fell
lowship with all those who love Him.

Good thoroughfares, like charity,
