1t is about this time every year that
the consumption of water begins to in
crease. Thus. in June. 1898, the 1000. :
GOO gallons rate n day was reached.
About the same time last year the
100000 gallons day was reached.
This year. however. the rate did not
go up To the 6.00C. 600 limit till the ex-
cessivcly hot weather of July came.
ON the 9th the pumpage was CLOS, 900
gallons, while the average for every
day OF the seven was just few gall
Ions less than 5000, 600.
There is an abundance of water now
Nobody pays any attention to the
height of the water in the lakes. There
is an absolute confidence in the sup
ply. Three years ago, however, there
was water famine, during which
there was only five inches of water
mostly mud in Lake Lawson, and on
one day in October only l,544 SEQ gal
Ions were pumped for the use of the
people.

BACK OF THE HOUSE.
it's Very Important Factor and Yet
Too Many Housewives Are
Careless of IL.

1t is curious what lack Of interest
some people seem to take in the out
side of their homes.
Inside it may be everything to be
desired-clean, bright, daintily decor
ated-but the other side OF he front
Tor possesses no charm for them, and
so curtains are hung with an utter
disregard for their appearance from
the road; blinds are frequently of
7 odd colors, and the paint loudly cries
for renewal.
This is TO be seen quite as often in
the better class districts. Every one
must have been struck at times by
the dingy, dirty look Of some Of the
most exclusive thoroughfares.
In reality almost as much attention
should be given to the exterior as the
interior.
One is so apt to judge by outside
appearances, and unconsciously we
often form our impressions Of people
by the first view of their home.
All paintwork should be kept in de-
cent condition.; it is the truest econo-
ny-indeed, if renewed every season,
one coat suffices. The steps must be
Immediately white, and every win
dow as bright as frequent applications
of the lather can render them.
AN the blinds should be of the same
pattern.
Window boxes should adorn every
window where it is practical, and,
whether they be the most elaborately
tiled, or the simplest homemade af-
fairs faced with virgin cork, matters
little.
They must be kept filed all the
year round-hardy evergreens in win
ter, and constant supply of dainty
blossoms during the summer months.
This may be managed at very
small outlay if good supply of seed
ings is raised in the spring. Mig
nonette, dwarf nasturtiums, with a
few geraniums or marguerites, win
make brave show.
OF course, if there is little front
garden, it should be bright with flow
ers also, and where there-is porch,
a pretty hanging basket or a graceful
~ arranged group of plants gives
charming touch of brightness and
sweetness to the entrance to the
home.
Dare one suggest that the back of
the house requires an equal amount
of attention. Philadelphia Press.
