A Mistaken Policy.

No state has more natural adj
vantages or more wonderful re-
sources than has Tennessee. AL
though one of the oldest states,
being over 100 years cid, yet her
treasures are in a great part III a
virgin condition. We need to
stop the stream Of emigration. We
need to invoke an influx Of immi-
grafton, and cause the old Volun-
teer State to grow in population
and in riches. 1t is a mistaken
policy that causes our young men
to leave the land of their nativity,
and also causes those of other
states to pass us by and settle in
countries less fayorably blessed
than Tennessee.

ElCGEST OF AMERICAN FLAG
New Jersey Girl Is Making 1t so Haise
the Mort gage on Her Home,

the Mortgage on Her Home.
Hiss Josephine Milford Of Madison,
II. j., has set herself a large task. She
is making the biggest American flag
ever constructed, hoping when it is
completed to sell it by subscription for
presentation TO the white house and so
earn the money to pay the mortgage
upon her own home. More than one
Well-known person in the east has al
ready taken an interest in her labor,
and Frank r. Stockton, writing to the
New York Herald, speaks Of her effort
as follows: This unique specimen Of
the stars and stripes is to be 100 feet in
length and OF proportiOnate width. The
blue field will be forty feet square;
each of the forty-five stars Will be W
feet five inches in diameter. and alto
gether the flag will make the grandest
single display of the national colors
which has ever been attempted. The
peculiar merit of this flag, however,
will not rest entirely upon it's dimen-
sions. 1t will be valuable as a record
of the history of IL co,9try, for upon
each star will be embroidered the
name of the state which it represents
and the date Of it's admission into the
union. The stars Wal be arranged in
the order Of the entrance of the states
into the national fraternity. This
enormous flag is to b., made entirely by
hand, of the best quality of bunting.
and the vast number of stitches WILL
all be made with the strongest silk.
The amount of labor which Will b u
be undertaken by the protector Of this
gigantic star-spangled banner will be
herculean, but the young lady Is not
only ambitious but energetic and in
dustrious in a high degree. When fin
ished this monster flag is to be exhib-
tied and sold by subscription for the
purpose Of presenting 1t to the white
house at Washington, to be used on
grand national occasions.

Philadelphia was noted for it's clean
illness as far back as 1860, the Ledger
of that city claims, when the daily per
capita consumption of water was thir-
ty-six gallons. Conditions as to clean
illness are no better now, when the
average daily per capita use is over
200 gallons, and the conclusion is that
the excess consumption over that m
1860 is wasted. With the acknowl.
edged vile condition of the water fur
nished in Philadclphia not much bet
ter use could be made of it than to
permit it to run into the sewers, but
that is an expensive disposition Of it.
as the cost Of providing the total sup
ply is assessed uniformly upon the
houses OF tenements, according to the
size Of the supply pipe. As the amount
used by each individual bears no in.
mediate relation to the price he pays,
no concern IS left regarding leaking
fixtures, and faucets are left convent
emily turned on day and night. In
many places fans, sewing machines,
and other small machinery are run by
'water-motors, the cost of which is q
charge on the general water assess
ment. Appeals to remedy the injus-
xice to those who do not waste the
water have been made in vain to the
Councils, and . way issnow pointed
out to consumers whereby they can
protect themselves. That is by hav-
ing meters put in, which . be done
under existing ordinances. Then they
would raysfonr cents per thousand
gallons. or shout ons-third what they

The complete destruction Of all dis.
Ease causing microbes IS, of course,
the aim of modern methods of sewage
treatment and disposal, and in q
method recently devised calorifc
sterilization is added to the ordinary
processes. The treatment consists
essentially in allowing the sewage to
flow into tanks which are subdivided
in such q manner that the LIQUID
passes through a restricted passage
where it comes in contact with q cur
rent of air under pressure. In ita
passage through the various cells the
solid matter is deposited in a number
of pockets, from which it is subse.'
quently taken to be dried and burned.
The distinctive feature of the process
occurs in the next operation, where
the liquid, after having been mixed
with alkali. passes through a series of
heat exchanges, in which it cools and
is itself heated by liquid previously
acted upon. From the heat ex-
changers the liquid next passes to the
sterilizers, where it is heated and
propelled through coils by means Of
steam jets to another vessel. The last
stage in the treatment consists in it's
passage under a sludge-drying plat
form to a settling-tank, and its exit
through filters in q pure and whole
some condition.
