It is claimed, and ! shall endeavor
to collect the proof, that in seve raj
instances not even the pr omised 25
per cent reduction was conceded
consumers.
There is but one solution to this
question - municipal ownership.
The public water supply Of great
and growing city like San Antonio
is of too profound Importance to be
lodged in any individual or corpora
ton Of private individuals. Sooner
or later the city must obtain owner
ship and control of the present
water plant or proceed to construct
q separate one of her own, and the
longer the contamination is de-
ferred, the more vexatious, compli.
Gated and costly will 1t prove. The
present is the proper time to dis
cuss the ma tier and act (! The
city's contract with the water COM
pany offers no impediment-while
in general terms it has some
eleven years to run-it specifically
provides that 1t may be annu lied
at the pleasure of the city at any
time.
Now that we have commenced
an extended and comprehensive
system Of public improvements,
let us not ignore that one which
in utility, in Importance and alb
solute necessity, UNNECESSARILY
overshadows all others.

Conditions of Citizenship.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-While ex-
aminning applicants for citizen
ship last Saturday Judge Pryor, of
the supreme court, announced
that he would refuse to admit any
person to citizenship who cannot
read the constitution of the United
States or who cannot speak the
English language. Eight aliens
came before him for their papers,
and after examining them all he
admitted but two to citizenship.
William Ashton, an Englishman,
was a successful applicant, and
when Judge Pryor put the ques-
ton to him: "In the event of war
with England" whether he would
fight for the United States or Eng
land, he promptly answered
"America." The other successful
applicant was asked II he was in
favor OF the Monroe doctorine, and
he answered in the Affirmative,
at which the spectators cheered.

Last summer one of our grand chill

then we tried Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
gave very speedy relief. We regard it
as the best medicine ever put on the
market for bowel complaints.-Mrs. E,
G Gregory, Frederickstown, Mo. This
certainly is the best medicine ever put
on the market for dysentery, summer

are followed. Many mothers express
their sincere gratitude for the cures it
has effected. For sale by A. r

The Spectator records two "Hi-
bernicisms" which are not chargeable
to Irishmen. One of them was regent
ly uttered by the captain Of boys
brigade"-a popular military organiza-
tion in n certain English parish. He
addressed the corps on the subject of
the death of Prince Henry of Batten-
burg, and in ending his sympathetic
remarks chose an appropriate hymn to
close the service.
"And now," he said, "let us sing these
lines in solemn silence!"
The other remark was made by a cler-
gyman in n discourse on the transitory
nature of earthly things.
Look" he said, "at the great cities
of antiquity; where nre they now? ?
Why, some of them have perished 30

THE KAFiR CIRCUS.

Work and No Experience.

Work and No Experienced.
The "Knfir Circus" which ten years
ago was almost boycotted, says the
National Review, is now the main CEN
ter of interest and attraction. Its Cir
cean revels have proved irresistible.
Thu most conservative of members had
to yield to them in the long run, and
streams of sccessions from other mar
kets continue even yet to swell the
l1afir crowd. Fortunes were made in
It last year, some of which have been
taken away and safely invested. The
others will probably be scattered as
suddenly as they were gathered. To
get into moderate connection as a;
liafir jobber wns TO earn 200 or 6 300

trouble, save having to bear the horri7
bic din Of n bowling pnndemonium.
To be nble to shout higher than any
body else was the chief and almost the
only, qualification for success. Intelli-
gence and experience were superfluities.
Where nearly all were ignorant alike
about what they were dealing in, fools
could "make prices" just as freely as
wise men, and more so. Simply to

over fist, and kafr jobbers blossomed
into plutocrats, set up their private
hansoms, were welcomed into West
End clubs, and flung about thousand
pound checks as lightly as half-crown
cigars. When they rose to the dignity
of underwriting or syndicating new is

them 10000 or 100000. In one

said to have been booked within an

HALLUCINATIONS.
Interesting Experiments Performed at

Interesting Experiments Performed at
tho Yale Psychological Laboratory.
The results of some of the expert
ments of hallucinations of the senses
Mt the Yale psychological laboratory
are interesting. A person, says the
New York World, placed in n quiet
room was asked to note the intensity
of a tone wheh would be sounded every
time a telegraph receiver clicked. At
first the tone was actually produced,
but afterward, unknown to the person
experimental on, the tone was omitted
while the clicking was regularly con-
tinued. Still the subject of the expert
ment believed that he heard the tone,
as before, with every click of the in
strument. Another experiment con-
sisted in dropping a light pith ball on
the hand of q person so placed that he
could not see what was done. Each
fall of the ball was timed to correspond
with the sound regularly emitted by
a metronome. After awhile the ball
was no longer dropped, but the sub
jects of the experiment contin-
ued to feel, or imagined he
felt, the touch of the ball at every sound
from the metronome. In a third eX-
pertinent blue bead was placed in the
center of white ring, and person
was requested to approach the ring
md note, by means of q tape measure at
his side, the distance at which the bead
first became visible to him. Later the
bead was secretly removed, but still
on arriving at the previously deter
mined distance the person believed that
he saw the bead.

BELIEVES IN SEA SERPENTS.
Monster Deep-Sea Dwellers That Possess
Extraordinary Powers.

ONeEs.
"Do 1 believe in sea serpents?" re-
peatcd Eugene G. Blackford, formerly
state fish commissioner, to reporter
for the New York Times. az certainly
do. OF course, don't believe in all the
details of sea serrents as seen at the
summer hotels. / do believe there are
huge marine monsters which appear
like serpents, and cause these tales
about sea serpents to be told"
"How is it that none of these has ever
been captured?"
''Their enormous size and swiftness,
their extraordinary powers, and the
fuct that they are shy and seldom ap.
pear"
"Why nre their bodies not cast
ashore?"
"They are probably deep-sea dwell
ers. The bodies of the deep-sea fish are
not cast ashore, except on rare and
abnormal occasions. For instance, Is
years ago about 100000 deep-sea fish
were found floating dead on the surface
of the ocean. 1t was supposed that a
submarine explosion had killed them.
Deep-sea fish cannot get to the surface
under ordinary conditions, or, if they
do, they cannot get down again"
wouldn't that keep the sea serpent
up If he once came up?"
Not necessarily. He may be con-
structed on n different plan. 1 think
the sea serpent is a survival of the great
reptiles of the Plesiosaurus species. 1t
Is quite possible that, though n dweller
of the deep, he may be able to come to
the surface of the sea and go down again
ut his pleasure"

LUSCIOUS WATERMELONS.

A Brunette StatGSman Tells How the
Melon Should lie Eaten.
"You want 70 know something about
the watermelon crop, and not politics.
Well, bless your soul for that; it is
relief from the awful monotony of cam
paign talk.
alabama watermelons will be as
good this year as they ever were," says
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, and per-
haps better, but to eat q luscious melon
is most interesting. Never cut wa
termelon; it spoirs it. Let it drop and
then pick up the pieces and eat them
with your fingers. Just imagine biting
chunk out of the ripe red heart; the
heart that sparllles all over with little
globules of honey water, and when you
get it in your mouth it cvaporates and
disappears, but leaves there the sweet
est taste that drives care away and
makes the whole world sunshine. But,
Of course. I'll admit that to establish
that feeling for any length of time it
is necessary to eat more than one
melon.
"Yes, have eaten the hearts of nine
melons without stopping. but reckon
I could finish several more. When l
made that record the supply gave out
md had to stop.
"People in the north, I understand, do
not eat the seeds. If they had stom-
ach like mine, made in the boiler works,
they could eat most anything, and ]
an particularly fond of the seeds, as
they are the most nutritious"

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
One American Race That Knows Nothing
of the NIohern CnrAn.

One American Eaco IhaJ sAnOwB Nothing
of the Modern Curse.
Much Is said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race Of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse. The
sturdy little Esl;imos defy all the laws
Of hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dwcller in America,
eats until he is satisfied, but there IS
this difference. that he is never satis-
fed while shred of his feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply, and by that only.
lie cannot make any mistake, says
the Youths Companion, about the
manner of cooking his food-for as a
rule he does not cook it--nor, so far as
the blubbcr or fat of the arctic animal
Is concerned. about his method of eat
ing It, for he simply does not eat it; he
cuts 1t into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower rope into we'll.
And after all that ne does not suffer
| from Indigestion. He can make good
meal Off the flesh and skin of the wal
rus, provision so hard and gritty that
/ in cutting up the animal the knife must
be continually shnrpened.
The teeth of thelittlc Esllimochild will
meet in bit of walrus skin as the teeth
of an American child would meet in the
flesh of an apple. And that when the
hide of the walrus is from half an inch
10 an inch and half in thickness. and
bears considerable resemblance 10 the
skin Of an elephant. The Eskimo child
will bite it and digest it, too, and never
know Mhnt dYsnensin means.
