The Pathetic Pocrhouse.

The average county poorhouse is an
other pathetic and disheartening illustra-
ton of the hardness of popular knowl-
edge and belated legal reform, says
Charles Richmond Henderson in the At
lantic. If ordinary citizens knew what
almshouses in most regions of the coun-
try actually are, in construction and adj
ministration, they would demand
change. Stories of abuses come from all
quarters. There is absence of classified
ton. On poor farms men, women and
children herd together, and sometimes
sleep in the same dormitory, without even
curtains between their beds. In remote
places the demented insane. are neglected
and treated like animals. * Hon
est old people who have served their
country in the army of productive in
dustry for half century are shut in,
during long winters, as intimate compan-
ions of worn-out criminals. Real work
ing people have Il right to protest with
bitterness against this unjust confusion
of misfortune and crime. If counties are
too penurious to provide separate homes
for the aged and helpless poor, the com
monwealth should interfere.

BRILLION'S NATURAL GAS.
It Will be Used for Light and
Heat.

Brillion, Wis, Feb. 3.-Two weeks ago
the natural gas well on William VIE
cherts. farm caved in after continuous
flow of gas for $50 hours, at 13 to 10
pound pressure. During this. time the
gas was conveyed by pipe to the stoves in
the dwelling on the farm, where it an
swered the triple purpose of cooking, bak
ing and lighting, to the surprise of the
astonished people. In the meantime a
company was formed here who got an
option on the farm for six months. The
we'll then was 145-feet hole in the
ground. In attempting to sink q 3-inch
pipe the well caved in, stopping the flow.
Since then drillers have been at work.
They struck the gas again. 1t sent
stones and water 200 feet in the air.
There is pressure of 20 pounds, which is
increasing. The company will pipe it
here and use it for lighting, heating and
burning lime. This is the first instance
in Wisconsin that natural gas has been
put to domestic and mechanical uses.
