ROMAN AQUEDUCTS.
They Were Built Because There Were
No Suitable Pipes to
Be Had,

People forgetful of the real status of
mechanical economy in the time of the
Romans have often expressed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when, it is proved, they knew the by
drostatic principle that water rises al
ways to it's own level.
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
to make pipes which would stand the
enormous pressure insepa1able from an
underground system. Lead was out of
the question for thepurpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick, and, besides, water
flowing for miles through lead would
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them IN their cities
and houses for the supply of baths, but
without cast iron, which they did, not
possess, they could not have made
pipes to carry water long distances.
Lastly, the water brought to Rome was
strongly impregnated with lime, and
this would have caused great incrusta-
tion in pipes and necessita ted frequent
openings and cleaning, whereas an
aqueduct, once built, would, as events
have proved, last for a very long time
with a very moderate amount Of re-
pairs .,.- 49,. II a: + >.3,SE IT.

A TRAVELLING POST OFFICE,
One OF the Latest Experiment. OF
the Government Being Tried
in MARYLAND.

The first real "traveling post office"
started on its rounds this month in
Maryland, says Youths Companion.
1t is stout covered wagon, manned by
a driver and postal clerk, which will
leave the town of Westminster every
weekday morning, make circuit of
more than 80 miles through the sur
rounding country and return to West
minister at night.
There are eight village post Offices OH
the wagons route. The travelling post
master will carry mail to them and re-
ceive it from them. His wagon is fitted
with cases and pigeonholes, so that he
can assert mail while he travels; and he
will deliver mail to all residents along
the road who will take the trouble to
put up letter boxes or to wait for the
wagon" He will be authorized, more
over. to sell stamps, register letters
and issue money orders; and, rail-
road town being the terminal of his cir
cult, the conjunction of the travelling
post off ice and the railway mailcar will
bring the farmer and the outside world
very near together.
This travelling post Office is, we need
hardly add, one of the experiments by
which the government is trying to
solve an imperative problem-that of
rural mail delivery. If the plan suc<
ceeds long step will have been taken
toward the adoption of reform which
everyone approves, and which is de-
layed merely because no one has de-
vised practicable way to carry it out.

NOT UNLIKE OTHERS.

An Instance of Henry Georges Alb.
sent Mindedness.
The activity and power of intellect
Of the late Henry George did not pre-
vent Observation-Disclosures. A writer in
the Review of Reviews says that this
quality was ''the jest of his circle.'
Names escaped him. heard him say
to Mr.. Dayton, the candidate on his
ticket for comptroller and one of the
best-known men in New York:
'You won't mind it, I hope, if I for
get your name; am so conscious of the
danger OF getting names wrong, that
when the need of remembering comes
it rattles me, and away the name goes"
He came late to recent dinner at the
Lotus club, where he was to discuss
with some friends the, question of his
being candidate in apprehended con-
tingencies. It was raining, and he took
from his pocket the slippers with which
Mrs. George had insisted on providin g
him in case he should get his feet wet,
and as he put them on he apologized
with honest gravity: ~.
II lost time looking for man kept
asking after as Kinsella, and it turned
out his right name was Moriarty. At
least,5I think that was what he told me
it was whenI found him."
But! there was no Observation-Disclosures
when discussion of the business N hand
ensued; he was keen and wide-awake.

APPETIZING SAUERKRAUT.
It Was Given to Sick Cow in Penn.

/. A reporter who spent Christmas
among the Pennsy lvania Germans Of
Lancaster county discovered what will
probably be to most people a distinc-
lively new use for sauerkraut, native
production of old Lancaster and 3
staple article of, food, says the Pitts
burgh Times. He had called to see All
old friend who keeps a dairy and found
the dairyman in the act Of taking great
punches of succulent cabbage from q
barrel in the cellar. The odor prevailed
the neighborhood and made glad the
nostrils of every true and loyal PENN
sylvania '''Dutchman" within distance
of about half a mile. ~
The reporter was astonished when
the dairyman picked up bucketful of
sauerkralt and carried t. to his cow
stables. The second animal in the long
row Of stalls was big, strengthened

the manger, although there was a plen-
tiful supply of hay in the rack above.
Her ears had detected t!roop and her
eyes were half closed. She was evident

should have been in good spirits, for
among the Pennsylvania Germans it is
still popular belief that on Christmas
eve the cows in their stalls may be
heard to talk to each other of the great
event the day commentaries.
The bucketful of sauerraut was
dumped into the Manager. The COW, by
some peculiar system of feeding, first
gave evidence of her appreciation by
slowly switching her tail, which had be-
fore hung limp and lifeless. Then she
raised her head, poked her great muzzle
into the kraut and slowly began to
MUNICH the stuff. Fifteen minutes later
she looked quite happy. She had eaten
all the kraut and was taking great
mouthfuls of the hay. The dairyman
said sauerkraut had long been known
as one of the best things in the world to
give sick cow an appetite

THE FIREMAN'S LIFE.
He Can't Always Dress Before q
Mirror, But He's Not . Bit Dis
turbed BY That. &;

"Of course everything about the fire
department interests us always" said
Mr.. Glimby, in the New York Sun, "but
there is one little thing. in particular
that I've seen I suppose hundreds of
times that appeals to me more every
time I see it, and that is the fremen
getting into their coats as they go
along: You see this among the men on
trucks and on hose wagons; the men on
the engine have to use their hands to
hold on. "
TITS simple enough thing in gen.
era1 to see man putting on his coat,
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before mirror, but he's jumped
out of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down sliding pole, and is
completing his dressing sitting on top
OF rack of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by three great
horses, at one end, with man down at
the other end steering this outfit with
a wheel. This sight never loses its nov
city or its interest. You may see the
same thing on hose wagon.
but what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing a man on a fire
patrol wagon, sitting on one of their
long seats, facing outward, pulling up
the tops of his high boots. Red wagon,
sgalloping horses, banging gong, men
in fire hats and rubber coats-the whole
blooming outfit on the dead jump and
this man sitting on the side seat reach
ing down for the tops of those boots
and Strengthening up with each one as
he got it and swaying back little as
he pulled it up into place, just as man
would sit on the edge of his bed at home
to put on his stockings and slippers, and
just as cool and comfortable"

100000 GONE IN A FLASH.
Klondilke telegraph Line Which Was
Wrecked by the Atlantic Cable.

hlondlke Telegraph Line Which Was
Wrecked by the Atlantic Cable.
Long ago-in 1863-64-there was no
cable between Europe and America.
Transatlantic news-even during the
exciting episodes of the civil war-was
always about fortnight old, says the
London Mail. The attempt to make a
cable connection had ended disastrous
~, and in this juncture of affairs was or
ganized a gigantic enterprise, looking
to the connection of the United States
with Europe via Kondike and Behring
sea. Most electricians and telegraph
experts had made up their minds that
40 miles-which was the distance across
the strait-represented the longest a
submarine cable could be successfully
worked.
A company was formed, and what
was known in those days as Russian
extension stock went off at premium
of 80 per cent. In 1865 the line between
New Westminster and the Yukon river
was surveyed, found to be practicable,
and traversed completely the present
Klondike region.
The line was expected to be finished
in 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at E s ($25) per message. The
receipts were estimated to yield about
100000 per annum. The line was
actually constructed from New West
minister along the present route of the
Canadian Pacific railway to Ashcroft,
where it was continued north toward
Behring sea to Fort Stager, 800 Or 400
miles beyond Quesnelle. This line is
at this present moment in operation in
a portion of the Cariboo country.
Then, in the midst of the whole bust
ness, after three years of hard work.
came like a .thunderclap the news that
the Atlantic cable was success. Three
million dollars had been expended, yet
the next day Russian extension stock
was not worth the printers ink on it's
surface.

A MISERLY COUNTESS.
One OF Roumania's Old Nobility Who
Though Immensely Rich Lived
in SQual0r. +

The Bucharest correspondent of the
London Daily Mail says that most
extraordinary character lately died in
Jassey, namely, Countess Balsch, one OF
the last of the old Roumanian nobility
all titles. except some few compli.
mentary ones, having been abolished
since the declaration of independence
after the Russo-Turkish war.
The old countess, although extreme.
ly rich, was an inveterate miser, and
hardly spent a penny, except in de-
Tending a lawsuit which her only
daughter, widow and an extreme in
valid, who had incurred the countess'
displeasure by marrying without her
consent. had started against her, claim
ing but 800 francs monthly to live or.
On this she spent thousands until THE
death of her unhappy daughter at 4,
hospital in Paris brought the case to a
close.
When the authorities entered the
dead countess dwelling to take possess
sion of her property. they discovered,
secreted' in numberless> impossible
places, no less than 100000 francs. a
quarter of million being in Napoleons
ano<lucats. While making final in
ventory, they found, hid in bundle of
old moth-eaten curtains, box contain
ing another 10000 francs, so that the
entire amount left by@this extraordi-
nary woman amounts to 1,65O,000
francs.
Numberless little cheap note books
were also found, in which the eccentric
being had noted down every half-penny
spent. Some books devoted to her law
expenses were headed: "Cost of proc
ess against that beastly and poisonous
serpent, my daughter"
