Living on One Dollar and Forty Cents
Week.
From the New York Recorder.
One-half the world does not know how
the other half lives, nor do the well-fed
thousands in this prosperous city, who
daily consult their menu of many expen-
sive and rare courses, comprehend that
many other thousands of Woodworking,
active, healthy, energetic, bustling people
live for whole day upon the price of
plate of oysters in a fashionable restau-
rant. Let one mana letter carrier-speak
for himself: Il have three meals a day
coffee, cakes and either ham or beans or
corned beef and beans at each meal, at
cost of not more than twenty cents meal.
They give you bread and butter with the
meat, and a fellow has plenty to eat in
three such meals. If a fellow is hard
pushed he can get along on thirty-two
cents a day, with two meals, with meat,
beans, bread and coffee at each I have
known chaps who have been idle for
long time to live upon twenty cents a day
-corned beef. beans. bread and butter, and
water for one meal, and pie and coffee at
the other in the evening. fellow could
live all winter those two meals If he
didn't have to juggle cases and barrels and
bales of cotton or do heavy work. Thus it
may be seen that a man needn't starve
who has s1.40 week to spend on food"

LONDON's WATER SUPPLY.
The System of Filter Beds In Use i
Englands Metropolis.

The System of Filter Beds In Use In
Englnnds Metropolis.
From Chambers Journal
The whole of Greater London, covering an
area of about $50 miles, is supplied by
these organizations, whose powers and dis
tricts are defined by law. The six Thames
companies are allowed to draw a maximum
supply of 12O,OOO,OO0 gallons day: the East
London is allowed to take 100000 gal
Ions, and the New River 22500.000 gallons
day from the Lea; the rest comes from
the chalk wells; there is also, however,
supplementary supply drawn by several
companies from the gravel beds by the side
of the Thames, and in time of flood or
drought this natural store is very useful.
In March last year 1S0,OOO.OO0 gallons of
filtered water were required every day for
the supply of London, which gave an aver
age CT about thirty-three gallons to each
person in the area of supply, for drinking,
domes tic and trade purposes.
But in March last the consumption had
increased SO greatly that the daily total
vas go, 100000 gallons, or forty gallons per
head, Every drop of the water has beeu
carefully purified, with the exception of
that from the wells. For this purpose the
companies have ia filter beds, cover
ing III IA acres. Every company, except
the Kent, has storage reservoirs. in which
water is kept in readiness for emergencies.
There are storage reservoirs for unfiltered
water, covering fIf IL dCIeS anu HOlQlIlS
about ,2SO, 900 gallons, and sixty filtered
water reservoirs holding 217,090.000 gallons.
That is to say, If every source Of supply
were cut off, London would have enough
water in store for a little more than
week.
The pumping operations represent an
cLormous expenditure of force. The South
wark Company, for instance, pumps r.
100000 gallons every day a distance of
eighteen miles to Nunhead with a rise of
215 feet, for distribution thence to the other
parts of the district. The pipes, too, are
often enormous in size, some of the tunnels
being nine feet In diameter. AS for the
length, there are in all London 5000 miles
of water pipes, on which there are some
2T,625 hydrants. 1t is hard to gain from
mere figures an adequate conception OF the
extent of London's water supply, but the
enormous stream of water flows steadily
into the houses-over 100000 Of them-day
after day, carefully filtered and purified:
ard the system contrasts curiously with
the old New River water carts and Chel-
seas wooden pipes.

REDUCTION IN RATES
Competing Electric Roads Begin to Affect
the Baltimore and Ohio.
Regular Passengers VIII Get the
Benefit of O Substantial Cut In
Communication Prices.

The announcement was made in Balti-
more this morning that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad had completed a revision in
the rates for communication passengers in
the vicinity of Baltimore, Washington,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, which will re-
suit in reduction of about % per cent
from existing prices. Inquiry at the local
Offices of the company here and telephone
message to Baltimore failed to substanti-
ate the declaration, although there is little
doubt of its truth. There are nearly
thousand persons engaged in business in
this city who reside at points along the
Washington branch between here and Re-
lay, and on the Metropolitan branch to
Point of Rocks, and such a substantial re-
duction in their fares will be welcomed by
them with much pleasure.
The communication rates on the branch
running to Point of Rocks may be taken

This will be coupon ticket, good for ten

The encroachments of the electric lines
to have brought about this reduction Of
rates. The B. and O. gong into Baltimore
is now paralleled for several miles by cleo
trio lines, and near Washington the electric
lines running to Takoma and Brookland or
University Station have stopped the lucra-
tive passenger traffic the B. and o. former
ly enjoyed from these points. The patron
age at kensington has also fallen off on
this account and the habit of persons liv-
ing up the road above Silver Spring of rid
ing on the B. and o. TO Kensington or Ia
koma ami leaving the train there to take
the electric cars became so general last

ly stopped at every station into Washing
ton. was SO decimated by passengers leav-
ing 1t at these points that it was changed
by the May IL schedule and made a
through train, without a stop after leaving
Silver Spring. The competition Is result
ing in lower rates already.

Learning TO Swim al seventy-Eight.

Learning to Swim at Seventy-Eight.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Science and proper exercise are con-
ducive to extreme longevity and health
fulness," said Superintendent Payne Of
the natatorium. ''Wbile am a very young
man myself, I can remember not many
years ago when q man was considered very
old at the age of sixty years. Thanks to
science ana a proper regard for healthy
exercise, a man is not considered In his
prime now until he has reached the age
of seventy or seventy-five years.
Take our swimming class, for example.
Come in here any afternoon and l can
show you something that will bolster up
my assertion. We have one pupil in the
afternoon class who is over seventy -eight
years old. He started to take swimming
lessons about two weeks ago, and picked it
up as quickly as youngster of ten. There
is not one Of our pupils who enjoys himself
as much as the old gentleman, who Is as
hearty and healthy as a youth Of thirty
five. This gentleman told ME that he was
inclined to be sickly about four years ago
until he took up proper exercise, and now
he bids fair to live to be over one hundred.
But If this old gentleman lives to reach
the century mark, how long will some of
the youngsters live who come here? We
have a sturdy lot of giants, who tumble
about in the big tank every day, who range
in age from four to six years. They can
all swim like fish,"

Got Ahead ofsthe Autocrat.

From an Exchange.
Oliver Wendell Holmes met his match
once, and 1t was out of the mouths of
babes and sucklngs.- An English author
who was visiting America had particu-
larly bright boy whom he took to see the
late lamented doctor. The boy, who was
only eight, had heard so much in Boston
about the Autocrat that he had on his
very best company manners, and when in
vited to help himself to cherries struggled
at them with dessert spoon.

man." said the great doctor, with his

some instances Where This Perilous
Habit Has Been Broken Up.
From the Chicago Tribune.
"a good deal is written about the impru-
dence of physicians in prescribing NOR
Prime, but not half as much as should be-"
said veteran Wabash avenue druggist.
THE slaves of that drug are on the in
crease. They have no trouble in procuring
it if they have the money to pay for 1t. 1t
is safe proposition that a large proper
ton Of morphine users, especially women
have been led into the habit by the bad
Judgment of their physicians. Let me give
an instance: A woman in this neighbor-
hood was i'll with an exceedingly painful
disease. Her doctor wrote prescription
containing morphine. She Is a sensitive,
nervous woman, OF type common enough,
and readily responded to medicine. 1
thought she was well, when in the course
of a few lays she sent the prescription to
me to be renewed. A week later it came
egain, and in less than week after that
the servant brought it third time. I had
her leave 1t and sent for the woman's hus-
band. Why did his wife require the pre-
scription SO often? I asked him. He didn't
know, but she had told him she couldn't
do without 1t. Did he know it contained
morphine? He did not. and was horror
stricken. He was confident his wife was
ignorant of the presence of the drug. to
whose effects she was beginning to yield.
l am satisfied also she knew nothing OF 1t.
l fixed up a little scheme with the hus-
band. l prepared the prescription, leaving
the morphine out. 1t was sent back once
afterward. and that was the end of it,
That woman was rescued without knowing
how near she had been to slavery.
Another case: I filled a prescription for
pills containing a considerable percentage
of morphine for young married woman.
She experienced the effects of the drug not
knowing what 1t was and, of course, sent
10 froa r IooJ "A
of her husband pledged him to aid and
substituted quinine pills. The cure was
completed.
There are many other instances, how
ever. where women learn the nature of the
stuff they are taking, and before they real
ize it are it's victims"
