attached, is the only feasible solution of the
water problem at the power house plant.

supply of not less than 1906 gallons of
water on hand, that is 10000 in proposed
reservoir and 10000 IN stand pipe, with
what our present deep we'll pump will pump

less than i4-inch or lo-inct suction and IL
inch discharge, same to be connected as
shown on plan. And said pump cannot b.
connected SO as TO pump from the deep
weels, as water level is too low.
Srd. 1t will take fo1r Winch streams
hours and 40 minutes to exhaust supply on
hand not counting the supply camel from

N. Bit is proposed to construct a
reservoir 10 feet deep, 80 feet wide and 40
feet long to contain, stated in above re-
port, 90, 900 gallons, and it is proposed to
FIRE pump, capable of giving six streams
from IS inch nozzles, throwing $50 gal
ons each per minute.
But as the quantity of water cannot be
driven through an eght-inch pipe, the en-
sineers suggest that the nozzle be reduced to
rs inch, which would give superior vert-
;al throw. The cost of this new work is
at about $4,000.

The sound of the hammer and
the buzz of the saw are always
to be heard in Lafayette, and
this is especially true at this
time. Among the better class of
buildings now in course of con-

the residences of President
Stephens, of the Industrial In

1eman, and the clothing store of
Prejean & Leblanc. Of the
buildings to be constructed
within the next three to six
months, which are deserving of
special note because of their
large size and substantial char
acter, are the new opera-house,
Pellerin & DeClouet's furniture
store, Rosenfeld's new store,
and the Office and warehouse in
which will be carried on a whole

should be included the two

Cold and Disease.

In an interesting article in the Med
ical Record. Dr.. II. h. Tuthill says:
when we consider the fact that we
carry disease producing germs about
in our mouths, and on the surface Of
our body, and that the air with sur
rounds us may contain multitudes Of
them, we can readily understand how
narrow q margin often actually exists
between health and disease. 1t may
take but very slight cause to de-
range the equlpose of the system, and
lower vital resistance. at which times
nature might be said to be momentar-
lily off her guard, and hence furnish
an advantage to our minute invisible
foes. The influence of cold appears In
some manner capable Of thus lowering
the vital resistance. and this is why
many diseases are usher2l in, and in
way caused by chill. When the
tissues of the body are in normal
condition, individuals may be able to
react promptly after exposure to cold,
and prevent the inception of disease;
while those whose systems are debili-
tated may not be capable of rallying
the forces of nature to the attack with
sufficient prOmptness or energy to re.
pei the onslaught of bacteria. Any OK.
posture to cold, to draughts and to
dampenss is dangerous, When such
chilling does occur, in addition to a
prompt and suitable stimulant, and a
brisk catharic, it would seem advisa.

Curious Fire Alarms,

in ST. Petersburg, the arrange
ment of fire alarms is rather peculiar
and decidedly unique, and the fire
alarm telegraph is an unknown thing
Instead, a fireman is at all times in
the tower of the city hall. and he
watches the surrounding city to catch
the first glimpse OF a fire. When a
fire Is discovered during the day, he
runs UP black balls on the top of
the tower as signals; at night, red
lanterns are used. The number of
the balls or lanterns shows the dis
trlct or ward in which the fire is To-
Gated" says writer in the Cosmopo-
Titan. "As soon as the signal is seen
by the man on duty at an engine
house, he rings a bell outside, which
calls together the members Of the
company, who may be scattered over
n couple df blocks. This method IL
not conducive to quick time in reach
ing the scene: and from 20 minutes
to half an hour is good work, unless
the fire happens to be near an engine
house."

Rsed,s Smart Office Boy.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed was
fond of telling the following story
regarding the bright little Office boy
whom he kept in his employ in Wash

brilliant financial career:
A gentleman calling on Mr.. Reed one
day, while waiting in the reception
room, was attracted by the manner
of the small attendant and started a
random conversation,
"And how much do you earn week,
my boy?" he inquired.
"Fifty dollars" said the youngster,
with avid.ty.
Being shown into the Senator's pri-
vnte office just then the visitors sur
prise found vent in words.
"Mighty bright boy You have there.
Mr.. Reed, to be getting $50 week."
he remarked,
"Fifty nothing" said Mr.. Reed; "he
gets $3.50"
but he told me just now you were
giving him $50 a week." persisted the
gentleman.
Nonsense" said Mr. Reed, and
touched the bell. "Bllly," he said,

FIRST VIEW OF WHITE MAN.

ened the Indians.

Ii Is small wonder that the first view
of a white man created terror among
the superstitious Indians, A striking
instance OF this occurred when the
Wallawalla Indians first saw Captain
Clark of the Lewis and Clark eXpedi'
ton. Thinking TO propitiate the say
ages and allay their fears of the white
men, he planned to visit village Of
the Wallawalas before the arrival Of
the rest Of his party.
With this end in view he set out to
cross the Columbia river in a canoe,
taking three men with him. On the
way he shot a crane and duck, both
Of which fell near him. He landed be-
fore five wigwams placed close to
each other but not a person was visi-

were closed. Holding his pipe in
hand as an indication Of good will, he
pushed aside one Of the doors and en-
tered the lodge,
Inside were 80 men, women and
children huddled together in terror
He went to lnem. shook each by the
hand and said some friendly words en-
pressing by word and manner his
kindly feeling, Their apprehensions
were allayed until he took out his
burning glass and lighted his pipe by
the rays of the sun. CONSERVATION
again prevailed, and what might have
occurred but for the timely arrival Of
two chiefs who knew the white men
cannot be told.
1t seems that the Indians had not
seen Captain Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot fall
just before his appearance. They had
also seen the duck fall at his shot.
They connected the fall of the birds
with his advent. and thought he had
fallen from the clouds.
The sound of the rifle, which they
had never before heard, they believed
was a signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought down
fire from heaven by means or his
burning glass.-Youths' Companion.
