In the discussion that followed. during
the reading of the ordinance by sec
tions, the question of the place of TAX
ing the water from the Natchez river
with which to supply the city with wa
ter for drinking purposes as well as all
others, received considerable attention.
Mr. Strahorn on behalf of the company
stated that it would be necessary to 90
at least seven miles above the city in or
der to get the fall that would give a
pressure of seventy-fve pounds to the
square inch in the mains in the city,
which is one of the conditions upon
which the franchise is being granted
This would be several miles above the
mouth of the Cowyche, and would obvi-
ate the possibility of contamination
from the annual overflow of that creek.

section the line IS bordered with YER

empowered in greenery. but on pass
ing this point sudden change occurs.
The true nature OF the mountain shows
itself without any veneer of vegeta-
ton to cover its ashy sides. Fields of
brown lava stretch away in all di-
rections as the ear mounts to the bot
tom of the funicular railway which
carries the traveller almost to the lip
of the crater itself. A few more PAGES

past and may yet bury them in the

Hidden In Sight.

A new form Of hide and seek"
which Is hidden in sight"-a very
pretty game. All must go out Of the
room except one, who then places the
thing to be found, such as a thimble
or cotton reel so that any one can
see it. but will not notice it without
looking rather hard. A thimble is not
easily seen on bright iron fender, and
a reel Of cotton takes good deal OF
finding when properly placed on some
mantelpiece ornament, or even on the
top of a picture frame.
Here Is another secret: Tell the seek
ers that they must find a handker-
chief Tie 1t round the handle of the
door az 1t Is q white one); show the
seekers politely in, and shut the door
after them, SO that they do not touch
the handle They will take long
time to find the handkerchief. 1t is u
strict rule of the game that the first
finder of an object does not make
known his discovery. He just sits
down. One by one the seekers sit
down. until only one remains standing.
and then it Is time for some one TO tell
him and for the party to get to another
game.

will cause dangerous stab wounds
even the blow of an unsklllfully d.
rected hammer may pound ones finger
to jelly.
Yet there is not the slightest reason
for any of these disasters.
The proper nse of tools is entirely
safe If only few very simple rules
and precautions are observed
In the first place, never use an
edged tool In such way that a slip
can possibly result in a wound. Never
white with the edge of the knife to-
ward you. Never hold your left hand
in front of the tool on a piece OF wood
upon which you are using a gouge or
a chisel.
Never put your foot OH piece OF
wood so that the axe or Ratchet, In
splitting it. can by any chance strike
1t.
In driving nail make few short,
gentle taps with the hammer first, to
fix 1t in place. After that, heavier
blows, delivered exactly in the center
of the head, will drive it home prop
erly. Never strike violent blow aon
a nail while holding 1t with your
fingers.

The Judge Who Cared.

BY the retirement of Justice Mayer,
who the other day presided for the last
time at the children's court the city
loses a useful public servant. Fitting
testimony to this loss was rendered in
court by the representa- tives of chart
table societies. But the best word was
spoken by Meyer Cohen, probation
boy" when he said, a little hoarsely
Il was one of the first boys to come
under you. You've been the best friend
ever had. You seemed TO care
whether l was square or not an
wish that you wasn't going away from
here"
Perhaps Justice Mayer was tride
hoarse also-the weather has been so
treacherous he replied that he
should always take an interest in his
young friend. and that there are lots
of you here in New York who don't
have half a chance
1t is because half a chance" is
more than some poor boys get and be-
cause il they were put with hardened
criminals for slight offenses they might
thereafter have no chance at all. that
the children's court was opened. May
it always have man on the bench

THE OLD FARM.

The old farmhouse l see again;
In its low dark ewes the twittefing wren
1t nestled long ago;
And | breathe once more the south
winds balm
And sit and watch in Tie twilights calm.
The bat Hit to and fro.
The white cows lie at the pasture bars
And the dairy, cool, with its tins and
jars.
Is stored with eurds and cream;
There's somebody putting the things to
right,
And through the windows | see light
From the tallow candle glean
The garden is rich with its old-time
bloom,
And ! catch, in fancy, the faint perfume
or blossoms dank with dew;
And over it all is the stnrlit dome.
And round about it the peace of home
How ii all comes back TO view
The night wind stirs in elm aud oak
And up from the mill pond comes the
eroak
or the bullfrog's rich bassoon;
Aud ! catch the CLEAN as over the brink
There peeps with tremulous shiyering
blink
The rim of the crescent moon.
1t all comes back from the dusk OF time,
With the mournful cadence and swell Of
rhyme
That is half remembered still
Like u measure from some forgotten
strain,
That hauntingly comes and fees again,
And under a dusky twilight sky
1t, minglng, floats with the plaintiye cry
or the desolate whipoorwill.

The Lost Can.

He hunted through the library,
He looked behind the door,
He searched where baby keeps house
Upon the nursery floor;
He asked the cook and Mary,
He called mamma to look,
He even started sister up
To leave her Christmas book.
He couldn't find it anywhere,
And knew some horrid tramp
Had walked i'll through the open air,
And stolen it, the scamp,
Perhaps the dog had taken it
And hidden it away;
Or else perhaps he'd chewed it up
And swallowed it in play.
And then mamma came down the stairu.
Looked through the closet door,
And there it hung upon its peg,
As it had hung before.
And Tommy's cheeks turned rosy red,
Astonshed was his face
He couldn't find his cap-because
Twas in its proper place,

Of grain, and Miss Halls farm has If
teen acres of pines with five of
bananas and 204 uncultivated acres.
There is also no easier or more pleasant
work, particularly for a woman, than
pine farming All she has to do Is to
order her slips, select her land, hire
her help and superlntend the planting
Then she can rest for a year or two
leaving nature to do it's work. In
twenty -four months or less the fruit
will be ready for the market. 1t is
not all play, but there is seldom any
worry as to the successful marketing
of the crop; for the pineapple, coming,
as 1t does when strawberries are pretty
well over and the peach crop not yet
at its height, is always heartily wei
coined.
The expense of putting the land I'M
der cultivation Is comparatively small,
amounting to about $500 for the first
year, while each succeeding year brings
the cost down. If no help has to be
hired the expense can be reduced to
ture of about $40 more before the first
crop is produced The returns in the
case of Miss Halls farm last year were
81 900 an acre.

crop has been set out is a matter which

danger is from the droughts to which
the pineapple district of Florida is IL
able and which occur between the time
Of blooming and the time of rlpening.
Sometimes these droughts are of a
months or six weeks duration, with
total rainfall Of an inch, and the
effects are serious. The pineapple leaf,
however, makes it resistant to drought,
unless 1t Is broken, which happens very
early and causes the plant to lose its
moisture. Special care must be taken,
therefore, in all operations In the
groves not to break the leaves.
The harvesting of the pines requires
skill and care. In the first place, the
gatherers must know just when to
pick the fruit. The crates going by
freight by summer must be filed with
fruit that is just turning. Those go,
ing earlier in the season, or to a short
err distance, may hold fruit quite. well
colored. The gatherers wear leggings
which reach to the knees and canvas
mittens. They stand in rows, and as
they break Off the fruit by deXterous
twist they toss it to the second help,
ers, who stand in the pathway between
the rows of pines. These Seconds"
as they are called, stack the fruit up
carefully in pyramid rows. after which
1t is gathered and put in field crates
and baskets, to be taken to the pack
ing sheds. Here long tables cover the
four sides of the room, and the workers
sort and wrap the pines according to
size and grade. There is no way of
measuring the fruit; it has to be done
by guess but in few weeks man
becomes so skilled in selecting pines
of uniform size that the packers have
no trouble in filling the crates.
1t Is In the groves that most care
must be taken, for a fine specimen can
be ruined by being carelessly broken
The gatherers are the most skilled of
the laborers on a pineapple planta
ton and they receive the largest sal
aries.

FTeCduIiOn Against INJURY.
To know what not to do In using
tools is one of the most important
things in carpentering
Tools are designed to do exact work
in just exactly certain way. To use
them in any other way exacts penal
lies for their misuse that sometimes
are very severe.
That the tool itself may be dulled,
ruined or broken is small matter
when compared with the injuries that
careless workmen often infiict upon
themselves
The badly secured head of an axe
or hatchet may fly off at the moment
particularly powerful blow is struck
with 1t, and it Is a propectile then that
can do very serious damage.

of the shore of the Bay OF Naples.
The trip from Naples itself can be
accomplished in an electric tram car

The total length of the railway is just
up of three sections. the first and third
of which have ordinary smooth rails,
the second section having an addition

railway passes through lovely vine
