WATER OF HIGHER EXCELLENCE"
Frequently people have sent samples OF
water to DR.. Ohage, the present health
officer, with a request that it be anal
yzed and the board advised of the result
In every case thus far he has reported
that he has examined the water and
found 1t free from all impurities. It Is
also notable evidence Of the purity OF
our water that we have had no epidemic
of sickness whatever that has been
traced to the city water.
Aside from the city's excellent system
enhanced by the Park Boards holdings,
the Hamm Brewing company possesses
two excellent wells of great depth, from
which they get their entire supply OF
pure water for their manufacturing pur-
poses. Their two wells have a daily sup
ply Of 2.750,000 gallons, and at the
present time they are erecting a new en-
CINE house 20x50 and preparing to in
crease their water possibility to a daily
capacity of 5,750.0OO gallons. It Is worthy
of note that single corporation, the
Hamm Brewing Co., has water supply
of their own at the present time one
third as large as the city's extensive

mile along the shore and are connected
with a pipe, SO that the one engine can
pump from all Of them If desired, and
any one can be shut off with a gate.
Besides this there IS also a conduit to
Otter lake and one to Paid Eagle lake.

who use the lager ones usually desire

The yield of oysters this year promises
to be large and of a particularly good
quality. There are not so many "coua 81

The price is to be about the same as it

is any change at all.

has been found that by mingling the
well water with the lake water the tenn
perature is reduced several degrees dur
ing the summer months. At the end of
each well is strainer that keeps out all
particles of dirt and admits only the pure

In 1885 an experimental well was
sunk four hundred feet at Gem

100000 gallons daily, but when tested with
pump it was found that by lowering the

be obtained without difficulty. In 1885

about uniform for all the market. The
bivalves, in their original shell, of course,

Nearly all the oysters which are shipped
are opened before being sent. Express
rates are very much cheaper that way.
OF course many are shipped in barrels
in the shell, but it costs more to ship the
shell than it does to send the oyster,

ne sULTANs WORKSHOPS.

Where Costly Presents for Foreign
Princes Are Made.
During my last visit to Constantinople
had the opportunity of making a close
study of 'the sultan's workshops. They
are situated on the right hand Of the en-
trance to the Yildiz Kiosk, and consist Of
a mechanical workshop with a foundry,
joiners shop, wood carving and carpen-
try shops, and designing and modelling
room, which give employment to from
fifty to sixty workmen. The work turn
ed out in these workshops Is exclusively
for the imperial palace, and in them are
made the costly presents which the sui
tan is so fond Of sending to foreign
princes. 1t is said that 'the ruler of the
faithful often lends hand in some spe-
cial piece of work, but that is not quite
