mittee. The resolution was in effect that
the water works committee be author
lied to proceed with the new water sup
ply as per submitted report; that the
committee make the necessary purchas- :;
es to the best advantage possible.
In support OF the resolution Mr.. Ben
son showed the estimates of the filter
system to be greater than the proposed
Expenditure of the committee: that a
filter plant would cost in the neighbour
hood OF $4,000, while the new water
supply would cost but $4,000. He
thought the council had better take the
seasons, when the river did not have
|quired amount, consequently there
that the city had pure water now, and
chances as regards quantity.
Councilmen Kreutzer and Fisher
spoke in favor Of the resolution, neither

councils in this line. but thought the
mistake. He considered that the sup
ply that would be secured would furnish
all the water this generation and the
next one to come would ever need.
The question was then called for and
the report of the committee and the
resolution following it were adopted
Unanimously and the work Of putting

The LIKE Erie Crane Belt.

Americans are accustomed to great fig
ures of almost any kind in relation to
the fruits of California. 1t seems natural
to read OF thousands of tons Of raisins in
that state ana oranges by thousands of
carloads. But who would estimate the
grape crop of the strip OF country along
the southern shore of Lake Erie between
q point about % miles west Of Buffalo
and Sandusky ut the immense total of
135.0O0.O00 to 150,000.000 pounds?
That means nearly or quite two pounds
for every man, woman and child in the
United States. and yet the belt of coun-
try in which the grapes are grown is so
narrow that its total area is small. Some
parts of it are very scantily provided
with vineyards. and no section is wholly
devoted to grape growing. Yet it takes
ABOUT 100 carloads to move the crop
every year.-Cleveland Leader.
Yes. and then estimate the crop be-
tween Il point u miles of the east and
west line of Sandusky. which takes in
Keily's island and the Bass islands, and
you have more acres Of grapes proper
tionately than in the territory east Of
Sandusky to Dunkirk. n. Y.-Sandusky

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRACs.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York, explains some very interesting 1actS
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that 1t Is many hundred per cent. Detter
than other dement's for which similar claims
are made but u great many do not know why.
The simple reason Is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other manu-,
facturers do not Use them, because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr.. Major tells us that one Of the elements OF
his cement costs 1918 q pound, and another
costs S2.65 q gallon, while q large share OF the
so-called dement's and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen-cent
glue, dissolved In water or citric acid, and In
some cases, altered slightly in color and odor
by the addition of cheap and useless materials:
Majors cement retais at fifteen cents and
twenty-fv cents Il bottle. and when a dealer
it that his only object 10 to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is rs much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this Is d0ubly true in view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.
Majors advertising. which now amounts to
over So 900 month, throughout the country.

In Austria-ITungary thee is a mar
yelaus chess player, whose name and res

the game The last story of him is told
by Il traveller who has just returned from

An Egyptian Stern wheeler.

An Egyptian stern wheeler Is built to
float over the shoals and rapids Of the
Nile. There is no going down long, slip
perry iron ladders to her engine room, for
she has no hold. everything being carried
above water line-cabins, stores and en-
gines. Indeed the steam cylinders lie
exposed, one on either side and little
forward of the very primitive looking
stern paddle wheel, which looks more as
If it belonged to some agricultural imple-
ment than Il steamship. The reason for
this is that. although nearly n hundred
feet long, she only draws about foot 9
inches of water, consequently she has no
down stairs.
Probably those engaged in the engine
rooms of some of the great liners which
ply to the far east would be only too
glad il when going through the Red sea
they could bring their engine room on
deck too. instead of seething below in a
temperature which sometimes exceeds
100 degrees. What wonder they at such
times faint away and are brought up and
laid on deck, where they are brought
round roughly but effectively by the free
application of pals Of water drawn from
the tepid sea.-Chambers' Journal.

WIND AND SEA.

The sea is jovial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale repose;
He lays himself down at the feet of the sun
And shakes all with glee,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on ths
shore
In the mirth of the mighty seal
But the wind Is sud and restless
And cursed with inward pain;
You may bark at will, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls the barren mountains
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
He sobs in the cedar and means in the pine
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the oceans lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's psng in all rejoicing,
A JOY in the heart Of pain,
And the wind that saddens, the that gladdens,
Are singing the selfsame strain.

"oLD TIMBER WOOD"
Leve of Satire Often Got Him In
Trouble With the Court.

Love of Satire Often Got Him In
Trouble With the Court.
In the days antedating railroads In
northern Iowa, the days Of saloons and
circuit q urts, q certain -ponderous Judge
was for many years accompanied on his
rounds by District Attorney Wood, pop
ularly known as Old Timber Wood. He
had been christened Timothy, the name
was curtailed to Tim and by easy evolu-
tion developed into Timber.
Old Timber Wood was q unique and In

Of sound intellect, gifted with keen
sense of humor and far SURPRISING in
mental acumen his professional superior,
whom, however, he usually treated be-
fore the world with an almost ostenta-
tious Difference. They were the warmest
of friends, the feeling between them was
dramatically tender, notwithstanding that
they had frequent and violent public fall
ings out.
The judge, who was entirely lacking in
personal dignity, really needed the sup
port of his friends deferential attitude to
keep him in countenance, and when it
was temporarily removed, Old Timber
Woods love of satire occasionally be-
traying him into sacrilege known as Con
tempt of court" he was stung to fury
and promptly punished the offense. Many
a fine had the attorney been subjected to
for his incautious witticisms. Being in a
constant state of impecuniosity, he inva-
riably applied to the judge himself for
money to pay these assessments, favor
which was never refused, the fact that he
must humble himself to ask it sufficiently
restoring his honor's complacency. The
judge was of thirsty habit and fire.
quently left the bench, substituting Wood
in his place as an old time schoolmaster
substituted one of the larger boys when
he wished to absent himself from the
room, and stepped out to refresh himself
at neighboring saloon.
On one occasion, very shortly after a
skirmish with the attorney, in which he
had finally avenged his insulted dignity
in the usual way, he abruptly called
Wood to the bench and started down the
aisle. Wood hastily slipped into his place
and before he had reached the door

PARIS, Dec. 11.-In the chamber of

cialist. one of the deputies for the de-
partment of the Seine. moved Il resolu-
ton calling upon the government to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of all al
coholic liquors pronounced dangerous"
by the Academy of Medicine. The reso-
luton was aimed at absinth, the con-
sumption of which has nearly doubled in
France since 1894 and now stands at 49,
100000 liters annually. NJ. Valiant and
others denounced the spread of absinth
drinking and laid stress upon its ravagcs
among the population. "The increase of
consumption of absinth," said the mover
of the resolution, matches arm in arm
with the increase of cases of driveing
insanity, which will end by becoming Il
national malady." The chamber adopt
ed the resolution unanimously.

Samuel w. Parker of Newport, who
will be so years old next month, is build
ing a reed organ and has nearly finished
it, The organ when complete will be
about eight feet in height. The easing is
of panel style, with hand carved corner
sections in front, made entirely by Mr..
Parker out Of sumac wood procured in
the section. The body Of this tree was
over six inches in diameter, which is the
largest of the kind known thereabOuts,
the native sumac ordinarily being but
about two inches through. The grain of
this wood is very beautiful. Besides be
ing natural musician, Nh Parker is no
mean cabinet maker, as his work upon
this case will testify. The interior of
the organ shows 1870 pipes, from the two
inch treble to the four-foot bass; ar
ranged IN four sets, each giving different
tone, principal, diapason, dlapason open
and dapason bass stops. All but the
metal pipes were made by Mr.. Parker,
When young man, 10 years ago, Mr..
Parker worked for some time in an

Charles II. Andrus gave private ex-
hlbtion of his great war painting, "Sheri-
dams Ride" at Burlington Saturday.
The painting, which is claimed by Mr..
Andrus to be the largest American work
of art, is over 17x2S feet in size, and
therefore contains nearly 500 square feet
of canvas. The picture, which in con-
ception, design and execution is the work
of one man. contains the figures of up
ward of 1000 men, horses and flags, vary
ing In dimension from full life to that of
only few inches in height. The leading
feature of the painting is "Little Phil"
both man and horse being faithful rep
reservations of the artists brush, as he
thunders down the pike into the midst of Il
body of Vermonters, who are resisting
the rebel advance, one can easily imagine
he hears the cheers of welcome that
greeted Sheridan on that memorable dav
when he snatched victory from the Jaws
of defeat, and dealt the enemy blow
from which 1t never recovered. Charles
II. Andrus, the artist, is a native Yer
monter, having been born in Berkshire,
Franklin county, in 1858.
