Value Of a Cent.

Until recently I never appreciated
fully the value of a cent" a talkative
Individual remarked, as he replaced a
cent that had fallen from his pocket to
the floor of the car. "The difference Of
a cent in the bids for the $500, 600, 900
of government bonds was $4,000. 1
didn't buck against Morgan for the
whole lot lately, because I couldn't raise
the difference. About that time I had
a controversy in regard to interest with
the secretary Of a trust company that
carries one of my small accounts.
After my passbook had been balanced I
noticed that interest to the amount Of
$13.99 had been allowed. It seemed to
me that it might have been $14, and I
worked at the figures quite a while. I
Found that the amount should have
been $13.99h, but the company got the
benefit of the half cent, and I couldn't
induce the secretary to transfer it to
my account. I thought afterward that
If a company that has a capital Of
81, 200, 900 and a surplus of $500, 900 can
figure on half cents I ought to be careful
with cents.-New York Times.

SEA WATER 10 3
Plans fosas system q Eurnishins Il
Have Been Mads.

AsB&zF&Y|NAW HaS%9&t 49,
Some years ago an act Of parliament
was passed Incorporating q company
to supply sea water to London. Just
as the construction OF the works was to
begin, It was found that so many apnli-
cations for the water had been nude
by parish authorities. hotel keepers and
others, that the pipe would be entirely
inadequate to deliver the quantity de-
sired. New plans were accordingly
drawn up, and were described at a re-
cent meeting OF the Society Of Arts.
The first English city to employ sea
water for municipal purposes was Ryde,
and the next was Tynemouth; since
then about twenty have laid special salt
water pipes, and all have found the use
Of the salt water advantageous. The
experience with sea water for street
sprinking in these places have been
much the same as in Boston and other
American cities where 1t is used. A
single sprinkling with it will be equal
in efficiency to two or three sprinklings
with fresh water, as 1t keeps the sur
face moist, but not muddy, for a long
time. It has also been found to harden
and bind macadam roads in the English
cities, and thus diminish the dust. A
ton Of sea water contains about 264
United States gallons, in which there
are about 80 pounds of salts, chiefly
chloride Of sodium and magnesium.
When the water is spread over the sur
face Of the road these salts are said to
%deliquesce, and 1t is to this deliQue-
scence that the duration Of dampness in
a street sprinkled with salt water il
attributed. The project to supply Lon
don with salt water is receiving par
ticular attention on account of the spe-
c1al features of the present system of
water supply. The present consump-
ton in the metropolis is about 24O, 00O,-
600 gallons a day, of which $4,000, 900
gallons are employed for street sprink-
ling and other municipal purposes.
This water, like nearly the whole guam
THY furnished to the city. is filtered,
and is equal in quality to that used for
domestic purposes. It is therefore
claimed that by introducing sea water
the amount of pure water would be
practically increased, about 20 per cent,
while the street sprinkling and sewer
flushing would be more efficient than
before. The works which it is pro-
posed to build will take water from the
sea opposite Lancing, a small place on
the south coast, between Brighton and
Worthing, where there is no contamina-
ton of the water ~by.sewage. From the
intake, the supply will be pumped to a
settling reservoir of $4,000, 900 gallons
capacity, and then to another reservoir
of the same size on the top of a high
hill in the vicinity. From this hill the
water is to flow by gravity to London,
fifty miles distant. The cost Of the
complete works is estimated at $780,
600, and, If parliamentary opposition is
not great, it is believed that the system
can be put in operation in the summer
of. 1S98.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THERE is no business so intima- tely linked with the prosperity of a city or community as it's establish ed newspaper. Its success or fail ure is a thermometer of the locali- ty in which it is published, it re- fleets the character of the commer- cial and intellectual texture of the people. The failure of a great newspaper is heralLed the world over, and is accepted as an index to a lack of business push of the city from which it is published. The failure of a national bank or any great mercantile institution is look ed upon by the public as the result of local or personal conditions; that of a newspaper who has secured recognition as the mouth-piece of public sentiment of city, or the pronounced organ of a party, is known throughout the country as the result of declining enterprise and push of the locality it repre- sents.
 The advertising columns of newspaper are the index of the growth of business and prosperity, and they indicate that the city is reaching out of its curbing. The decline of advertising indicates re- trogression, the expansion of ad- vertising announces progress. The snap and vim shown is telling the world of what you have 10 sell is positive indication that you be- lieve that you can sell and have advantages the public will accept if they know them. A show win dow is good for the passing crowd" :" but an advertisement in a news paper is for the world. News papers, therefore, have both a per- sonal and public bearing. The public also has its responsibility to give it a fair return and support. The newspaper, Is more than one way, the representative of the public.

OUR NEW ICE PLANT.

The new ice establishment on Main street should be encourag aged by the public for several reasons. In the first place it inaugurates competition which enables past consumers to have cheaper ice It has fixed a rate for it's product that will allow families to have this most necessary summer lux ury, without too great strain up- on the domestic purse. When there was no competition, the rate was so great that the consumption of ice was confined to the saloons almost exclusively. Even the sick. as rule, were deprived of the de- sired cooling drinks and appljca- tions, owing to the excessive price asked for ice.
 There is another fact that should be taken into consideration In the manufacture of ice here it is necessary to employ a number of persons about the premises, and in cutting the requisite wood to run the machinery. The money paid to these persons will be distributed in the town, and benefit a number.
 For all these reasons consumers of ice should patronize the new venture, and thus insure it's per nancy. *

THE PENSION BILL AS PASSED.

 The Pension bill which passed the
 House of Representatives, contains
 many good features. It requires that all laws relating to Pensions shall be literally construed; de- clares that no Pension shall be dis continued or reduced, except for fraud, clerical error, mistake of fact, or recovery" that Pensioners shall have the opportunity to de- fend themselves, when charges are made; that all pensions reduced or discontinued since January 7, 1893, shall upon application be reconsid- cred and adjudicated in accordance with the new law; that no person shall be refused because not more than one credible witness can be furnished as to any material fact; that all notifications from the office shall set forth each and every fact upon which further evidence is re- quired; that the records of the War and Navy Department shall be taken as conclusive proof of disa- bility; extends the act of 1890 to all persons who served ninety days or more; entities an applicant whose claim has been rejected upon the report of "no permissible de- gree of disability to a re-examina- tion by another board of Surgeons, if reputable physician" testi6es to the existence of "a questionable degree of disability" and dates the certificate from the time of the first that the term without other means of support than her daily labor" shall be construed to mean "wIthout a net income of three hundred dollars per annum."
