flow on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made
in various sizes, ranging from $50
gallons to 1000 gallons capacity.
There are twenty sprinkling wagons
sold in this country nowadays where
there was one sold only a few years
ago. This great increase in their
use is due in large measure 30
sanitary reasons, to the great extern
sion of good roads, and to the com
mon desire for comfort.
Sprinkling wagons are used now
adays commonly in many smaller
towns and villages, where they we're
never thought of some years ago.
And American sprinkling wagons are
now found all over the world where
ever sprinkling wagons are used.
They are exported to Australia,
Cuba, Porto Rico, South America.

modern sprinkling wagon that the
traveller chances to see in Paris, or
Berlin, or Hamburg, came very likely
from the same factory as tie one he
saw here before he left home, going

REFORM IN SCHOOL.
Attempts to Teach too Much Result
in Superficial DEVELOPMENT.


The recent utterance of Superinten-
dent Greener of the public schools of
Kansas City, in an address on educa-
tional methods, will find a responsive
echo in the minds of many persons.
His talk was a plea for fewer and
simpler subjects that should be more
thoroughly taught. II believe" said
he, that in the past few years we
have imported so many things into
our schools that children do not have
time to think I would have my boy
go through the grade schools and he
able to use the English language well,
to know the meaning Of words, to be
able to read the newspapers and
magazines intelligently, to know
something Of the history of the
country and to understand something
of its relations to other countries. I
would rather have him know this
much than to have him go through
the entire schools and get a smatter-
ing of everything that's taught" In
another place he adds: 1T do not
know of a single man who ever be-
came Intellectually great who did not
build in the common branches"
Every parent of a public school
child must be impressed with the
superficial development of the latter's
education. The absorbing capacity
of the growing mind is taxed to the
limit, and often far beyond it, while
the reasoning faculties are left al
most inert Pupils are graduated
from grammar and high schools every
year with higher per cent. and ex-
traordinary records of scholarship.
Question them, however, in matters
of general intelligence, or even en-
deavor to have them use their hardly
acquired information in a practical
way, and they are dazed and helpless.
Pupils, teachers, school boards and
superintendent are the victims of a
system that has been expanded in
judiciously until it has become at
tenuated to a degree that threatens

Trent, Kidderminster, Droitwich,

the various towns visited, and every
where we were received with happy
enthusiasm. In some instances the
help Of the recruiting sergeant was
evoked, but sometimes, even when
interest was aroused, the actual en-
listment would for many reasons be a
matter of time. There are certain
persons who judge the progress of the
war in South Africa by a perusal OF
the posters issued daily by the
various newspapers, but such an ele-
mentary manner of arriving at coli
illusions is always misleading. So
with the "recruitograph" time alone

MODERN sPRINkLING WAGON.
An Improvement of the Old style.
American SprinkIers Exported.

The modern sprinkling wagon is
very different from the old-timer.
The chief improvements is in the
spray hear, which enables the driver
to control the flow of water much
better than the old style. Thus,
whether it is dirt or a macadam
road, or a stone-paved or asphalted
street, there can be supplied from
the modern street sprinkler just the
amount of water required to lay the
dust in it, without waste.
The spray head ON each side has
it's own valve rod running to the
drivers seat, with step there for
both heads at once, or he can run
only one head; he can shut off or
open either one at pleasure. With
this sort of wagon the expert driver
leaves behind him dry crosswalks
with perfectly defined limits; and
when he comes to a carriage or a
street car, upon which he dosen't
want to throw water, he shuts off the

THE GUM CHEWING cow.
Owner Thought Habit Had Worn All
Her Upper Teeth Off.

A farmer in Knox county, Me, has
been saying mean things about a
Rockland shipmaster, and Opinion
reports a few. Quoth the farmer
IF I had a hired man that made such
a piece of work as he did about that
COW of his. I'd send him off!
Why, he bought COW of man
down my way; good critter-nothin'
the matter with her. But it seems
the captains wife, one day, thought
the milk tasted funny, and suggested
that p'r'aps she'd been eatin' spruce
boughs; said the milk tasted like
spruce. And what does he do but go
out in the pasture to watch the COW,
to see what she did eat
'.The COW was lynn down, chewin'
her cud, and he went along and run
his finger in her mouth to see what
she was eatin'. Then he was mad
He put rope on the COW, and started
Off with her.
Where are you goin' with the
COW? says neighbor
Coin to tack her back to the fel
Ter that sold her to me. He's cheated
me, and | won't stand it,
''The man wanted to know what
was the matter, and he went on to
tell about it. She wasn't eatin'
boughs,' he says, she was chewing
gum; that's what's the matter with
the milk and makes it taste like
spruce. And he says, that ain
all. She's SO addicted to the habit
that she's worn all her teeth out
She amt got an upper tooth in heI
head. Back she goes, quick
"Of course, the man told him thai
it was all nonsense; that cows never
had no upper teeth. But he didn't
believe a word of it, and went on and
had tarnal row with the man that
sold him the cow Guess he was
never satisfied about it.

miles distant, here held a review, and

after dinner wrote again from nine

every general, and indeed to every
man who is bearing heavy load of
anxious business, to be good sleeper.

and was fast asleep in minute. In
the midst of the critical operations
before Waterloo, feeling weary, he
laid himself down, put newspaper
over his face, and took a nap.

offer homage due his rank,
And envy him the hefty pile of

The sparkling gems which deck his
form are worth the ransom of
king,
Of costly fabrics is his dress, in cut
and fashion just the thing.
His ties AMI gloves are imports from
the toniest Partisan mart,
His shoes are patent-leather dreams,
the finest of the Crispian art.

round from all wheeled
triumphs knocks the socks,

an Ethiop driver on the box,
The horses steeds whose pedigrees go
back to Arabs desert sands,
Their trappings wrought by men of
skill far-famed in distant
foreign lands,
On cushions of the finest silk from
Oriental looms he sits
And puffs he at cigars of brand the
Prince of Wales could not af
ford,
They cost him seven dollars each
when bought at wholesale by
the cord.
He dwells within a mansion fit to
house the proudest king on
earth;

And gaze upon her queenly air with
envy she could not disguise!
Her jewels fash as dazzling stars set

Of satins, silk, valenciennes and all
such hobby things as those.
All! fitted in her queenly grace and
dreamy loneliness is she
To reign in regal way beside her lord,
the proud, imperious 'We,"
To help him blow the golden wealth
that comes to him in ceaseless
floods,
And see that needle-ladies keep the
jeweled buttons on his buds.
His cash comes to his hand unsought,

Subscribers and the men of ads. rush
up to pour it in his till,
And if the scribbler should be out at
lunch or at the corner store
They fold the green-hued bills in
wads and shove them under
meath the door.
All hail the country editor! his life is
an elysian dream!
Upon the earth he proudly reigns, a

Lives such a life of heavenly ease
that when he hears the trumpet

He'll watch the great procession pass,

Stanch Lightship Set to Guard
This Ocean Graveyard.

Sailors say that there are two grave
yards in the Atlantic, one off Sable
island and the other at Cape Hatteras.
The wrecks that strew the sea bot
tom around the little piece Of land be-
tween the Grand banks and the main
land are mostly caused by the dense
.fogs that prevail most Of the year,
misleading the shippers westward and
eastward bound, until too late they
ind themselves upon the rocks. Fog is
only a lesser peril Of Hatteras weather.
The cape is know the seven seas over
as the worst Of storm eenters. The
fury OF its winds, the sweep Of its ter
rible cross-seas and the treachery Of
Its lurking shoals are a byWord in the
mouth OF every deep-sea sailor. 1t is
here that the government has lust set
the new and powerful lightship, No.
~, stanchest Of its kind, to warn ships
m. from the invisible perils Of the coast.
The dangers Of Hatteras are gener-
ally unseen. Even in fine weather the
water at high tide entirely conceals the
reefs Of Jagged rock upon which many
