Net profit to city ........... $ $500
To assert that the city cannot roanage
such business successfully is to admit
it's total incapacity for self government,
and at once suggests the wisdom of en-
gaging private corporation to take over
the entire revenues of the city and the
management of it's affairs, and this state
of things the HERALD is not willing to
admit.
The waterworks are in no worse condi-
ton today than they have been for the
past three years, yet in that time enough
money has been diverted from the water
revenue to have placed the system in fair
condition, and it is hoped that the pres
ent agitation will cause change of
methods along this line. The HERALD
has no particular disposition to criticise
the present council, which has but fol-
lowed the footsteps Of its predecessors,
but, in truth, is forced to say that the
management Of the city waterworks has
lacked the application OF business prin-
ciples ever since they were installed, and
has, naturally, reached point where the
conditions appear to call for desperate
remedies. But, that less radical remedy
than a sale for a price scarcely more than
a bare franchise is worth will be found.
If, az some OF the counclmen assert,
the pumping plant is worn out, and the
supply insufficient, what could have justi-
fed an expenditure Of about 81 900 dur
ing the past six months in new pipe at
the lower end of the system, is puzziing
a good many, as is the wisdom Of spend
ing like sum last year for fire head
quarters, when few hundred would
have placed the old building in good
condition, and the waterwcrks-tlat was
earning the inoney-so sadly in need of
betterment.

consequences Of the faults, and we recog.

Lesson for Leap Year.
m the Lendon Telegraph.


In England leap year Is supposed to con-
fer upon the fair sex the privilege Of choos-
ing life partners for better or for worse, but
the custom Is more honored in the breach
than In the observance The gypsies, es-
pecially in Hungary, enjoy and make a
very extensive use Of the right at all times
in accordance with an ancient custom
Thus a marriageable young gypsy girl in
the land Of the Magyars. as soon as her
heart Is smitten. takes good care that the
smiter shall hear OF the havoc. he has
wrought and have a chance Of consoling
her. With this praiseworthy object in
view, she has a love letter indited, places a
coin in a piece Of dough. bakes 1t and
throws the billet doux during the night into
the bed chamber of her bridegroom elect
Then she possesses her soul In patience and
awaits developments. The Burmese maiden
begins her marriage campaign at a much
earlier stage. In order to get together
goodly gathering of young men from whom
to choose. she places lamp In her win
dow at night-it Is known as the lamp OF
love"-and entices all those youths who are
candidates for the order Of benedict In
sunny Andalusia, the peasant girl whose
heart has been stolen by stalwart young
hushandman, prepares a tasty. pumpkin
cake and sends it to his home. If he eats
it-and the Andalusian girls take good
care to make 1t highly ediole-the pair are
forthwith betrothed.

ment. Many men have thought themselves
very rich when in point of fact they were
extremely poor, and many men have be-
Heved themselves poor when in truth they
We're extremely rich. This may come from
m1sinformation as to actual conditions or
from the point OF view. Sharp transitions
are not infrequent in human experience A
man may have today everything he had
yesterday In unchanged physical condition,
but yesterday he may have been in q posi-
ton to convert his assets into money at
high valuations. while today he could
scarcely give them away. Something has
occurred meanwhile to change the popular
estimate Of the desrablity of his possess
sions. Corners sometimes break so sudden
ly that the millionaireS Of one month are
ba ankrupts the next.
1t is scarcely probable that any answer
to the question, When is a man rich? which
might be made by us would be less vulner-
able to attack than were those offered in
the club room discussion to which We have
alluded. 1t IS. however, question which Is
likely to be Of sufficient interest to our
readers to call out varied and instructive
diversity Of individual and class opinion.
With this in view we ask 1t, and leave the
answer to whomsoever may have views on
the subject which he and the editor agree
are worth expressing.

then turn over and broil about four minutes
on the other side. Sift carefully on to slices
Of toast. Season with little Matbre motel
butter and serve at once.
Mushrooms a la Bordelaise are broiled In
the same way and served with sauce OF
melted butter containing minced parsley
and young onions.
Another delicious way to cook mushrooms
is with cream. Select good ones. though
not Of necessity large. Peel. wipe and trim
off the end Of the stalk where 1t entered
the earth. The rest Is good and may be
cooked with the top. Melt a tablespoonful
Of butter in a saucepan, put in the mush-
rooms and let them stand five or six min
utes. Season with salt and pepper and a
dash of nutmeg. Add two tablespoonfuls Of
cream sauce, and cup Of cream. Sim
mer five minutes and serve in croustades
Croustades.-To prepare croustades, which
are simply patttes made Of bread instead OF
puff-paste. cut slices of stale bread about
half an inch thick and cut into heart-ShapeS
about three and half inches in length.
Brush these over with olive oil or melted
butter. and brown in the oven They may
also be made from rolls. cutting them with
thick slices. scraping a hollow in the center
of each slice. then frying In hot fat or
browning in the oven.
Mushroom Catsup.-When one has acc aSS
to good supply Of the field mushrooms 1t
will pay to make a few bottles of mush-
room catsup. For this purpose 1t Is not
necessary to peel the mushrooms. Wash
quickly. break into bits and place in a stone
jar, allowing tablespoonful and a half Of
salt to each quart of the mushrooms. Let
them stand in cool place for three days,
stirring frequently. On the third day put
over the fire in porcelain kettle and heat
slowly. In short time the juice will flow
freely. Strain through fine sieve. return
to the fire and boil twenty minutes. Meas
ure, and to every quart Of the juice allow
a bay leaf. blade Of mace. an inch Of gin
ger root. pinch Of cayenne and an ounce
each OF whole allspics and black pepper.
Boil down to hale the quantity. add table
spoonful Of brandy to each pint bottle and
seal tightly. In working with mushrooms
always use silver knife or spoon. If there
Is any poisonous fungi in the lot the silver
will darken. Otherwise rest assured that
all is we'll. 5s.1srr

The Model Guest.
rom the London Outlook

From the London Outlook.
A really fine specimen of the guest who
does his best has spirit which cannot be
broken by weather or WEAKNESS. He can
manage to talk to any one, even If he
ting next to his worst enemy. He knows
how to come into any discussion and how
to keep out Of 1t. He does not seek his own
amusement, yet ne never fails to show that
he Is amused. He is tolerant Of every opin.
ion. and though he may have many convic-
tions Of his own and may state them so
as to do them justice, he never tries to
proselytize.
His visit Is not mission. and he never
for moment fancies himself on the hust-
ings. in a debating society, a pulpit or a
court Of justice. Above all, he has a good
opinion of himself. Good wine needs no
bush. He has no desire to boast, but he is
certain that he will not be sighted. If his
hostess assigns to him duh Job he is sure
1t Is because she thought he could do il
well. and If he feels it to be really below
count not while he is under her roof. but
when he next receives her kind invitation.
He Is not plagued by that craving of the
over-sensitive to be like their company, nor
does he belong to that race of born dis
senters who would always rather be differ
ent.
But alas! conscience and talent do not
always go together There are some high
principled guests who are terrible bores.
In their solicitude to be agreeable they
never stop talking, but pursue their gar
rulous ideal like dog following a carriage
To every interruption they give immediate
attention and run breathless on.

WHEN IS A MAN "RICH?n
Persons With Millions Often Have
Great Financial Anxieties.

From the New York Times.
In one Of the New York clubs a few even
fngs ago a casual reference to ''rich men,
started the question, What constitutes a
rich man?' The discussion gradually re-
solved itself into an exchange of definitions,
and 1t is worthy of note that as many diff
ferent opinions of what constitutes a rich
man were expressed as there were people
present to express them.
Naturally, the first definitions were those
which shaped themselves in round figures
from hundred thousand dollars to mil
lion, but it was quickly evident that what
these figures mean depends wholly upon the
point Of view. For man with nothing but
the fruits Of his current labor to depend
upon even so modest a sum as 100000
seems a comfortable competence, the at
tainment Of which would entitle one of
modest tastes to consider himself rich. But
there are great many men with much
more than this who are at all times torn
with anxiety Of a financial character and
who to make their capital useful feel under
the necessity of risking losses which would
be Gripping, II not ruinous. The same con-
ditions might and often do apply to much
larger sums. A great many men who are
warranted in assuming that their wealth Is
tangible in amounts which twenty five
years ago would have been spoken of as
''princely fortunes at no time free
from the narrowing anxiety of imminent
bankruptcy through lhaplllty 10 maintain
the normal relation between assets and lia-
bilities.
Again. a great deal of wealth Is so in
vested as to leave its possessors poor. in
that they have therefrom no incomes to
live on. Securities may or may not confer
wealth upon their possessors. according to
circumstances. The same Is true Of land
and of improved real estate. Some Of the
poorest men in New York are those who
have to pay interest and taxes on prop
erty which does not earn carrying charges
and the future of which Is so indeterminate
that they cannot finance its Improvement.
an immense scale are not properly to be
classed among the rich men. since their
large assets are always trembling in the
balance and may be doubled or swept away
as the result Of single season of bad
trade and declining prices. Obviously rich
and poor are relative terms

adds greatly to his comfort. Yet it is true
that comparatively few physicians or
nurses have learned to look upon cleanli-
ness OF the mouth as an important factor in
preventing complicating diseases" Proper
care OF the mouth is much more common
now than 1t used to be. and for that we
nave to thank improved standards of re-
hnement and also the dentists. We are
glad to see dentistry and medical science
now working hand in hand for still better
results. Fortunately. We do not have to
wait 1or the doctor to command US or pre-
scribe for us In this matter. The means of
prevention of many diseases here outlined
are SO simple that It is only the careless or
reckless man who will not avail himself Of
them.

HY THEIR DEEDS.

A tattered, beggar In the street
Sang always some old grooming hymn,
And held to those whom he might meet
His hat with ragged, greasy brim.
Two men-two mighty men->eame by
Two honored leaders OF the town;
Came, too, a dame OF repute high
Each passed the beggar with frown.
But still the beggar sang away,
With awkward music In each word;
And through the balance Of that'da
The three that chanting echo heard.
They heard, and held the fading strain
As memories Of things that bless.
And added to their other gains
The golden one OF kindliness.
Now, by some careless prank OF fate.
These four met on the Way OF Death,
And journeyed to the Joyous Gate
Where but the perfect entereth.
The warder halted them, and told
How all who entered must DO known
BY goodly deeds-by deeds OF gold
BY helpful actions all their own.
The honored men explained that they
Had given of their earthly wealth
To help their fellows on the way
To knowledge, peacefulness, and health.
The woman told OF visits made,
The suffering and poor TO greet
All three told how the world had laid
Its laureled tributes at their feet.
'You may go in,' the warder smiled,
Although your fame we did not know,

Is more than all the passing show"

With humbled mien and dropping head.

country for seeds, and is replying to
all of them that congress at this SEES
sion has made no provision for seed
distribution, and there are no seeds

riculture. Representative Charles
Curtis of Kansas, who was one of the
contestants in the recent fight for SEN

about the farmers in connection with
this matter. One Of his newly elect
