Water for the Farm.

From the American House and Garden.
The farmer is a large user OF water,
for no farming operations can be car
ried on without it. The installation Of
a water plant for farm purposes-for
use in the market house and barn-is,
therefore, one of the first essentials to-
successful farming. This, however,
should be but the first step, fsf wa
ter plant that gives running water in
the barn can afford the same facility
IN the kitchen at small additional ex-
pense. No farm wife need be told Of
the superior merits of running water
in her kitchen over the old fashioned
we'll, or the hardly less archaic hand
pump. The latter has. OF course. some
conveniences over the former. but 1t
entails weary work and adds a quite
unnecessary burden to the many laborS
that fall to the wife on the farm.
But assuming that running water has
been brought into the farm kitchen.
the question may we'll be asked: Why
stop there? Why not a bath room:
why not separate bath room for the
men help? Why not shower baths and
all the conveniences that modern
plumbing has brought? All these things.
should follow as matter of course.
and no doubt would do so could the
farmer be convinced as to their utility
and be satisfied that their installation
would not cripple his financial re-
sources. The latter.point is apt to have
more weight than the former There

Disease Caused by Fleas.


While the public has been more or
less educated as to the responsibility
of the mosquito for malaria and yellow
fever. it has not heard so much about
the flea, which many scientists believe
has some connection with the trans
mission of leprosy and possibly Of
plague. Before a crusade is preached
against this insect, however. it is de-
sirable that it should be studied most
carefully. and recent writer in Sci
ence desires the cooperation of his pro-
fessional brethren i'm the extensive coll
lecting of the fleas infesting rats, cats,
dogs, and especially human beings, in
all parts of the world but more par
ticularly and thoroughly in all plague
and leprosy infected regions.
There is involved in the proposed
plan such an extended and systematic
ried on by the United States govern
ment in the case of mosquitoes. The
subject is, of course, q very open one,
and vast amount of experimental
work must be done. but it is believed
that the fieas living on rats and mice
do their part in spreading the plague.
These rodents are destroyed by quar-
antine and other government health Of
ficials wherever possible in the east,
and such measures have most salu-
tary effect in checking disease. The flea
presents very different proposition
from the mosquito, on account OF ms
habits and characteristics. He is said
to be an epicure, where the mosquito
is a glutton, and may bite a dozen
places in as many minutes without fill
ing himself With blood. His puncturing
apparatus is so formed that it has
been suggested that he is unable to
wipe his mouth clean after meal, and
parts of the mouth are recommended
as useful for obtaining blood corpuscles
for examination with the microscope.
The chief Indictment against the flea
is that he bites AN infected person, and
then communicates or transfers the
bacilli to healthy individual, who
NAV thus become infected. The results
of this study will be awaited with no
| small amount of interest.

XXXNII.
OF WHAT BEFELL AT KINGS

Skipping lightly over the happenings
of the two days following my departure
from Charlotte on the kings errand, I
may say that after passing the British
outposts at the crossing of the Cutaw-
ba, l met neither friend nor foe; and
from noon OF l rode to the westward
through a pitil.ss drizzling rain,
splashed to the belt with the mire OF
the road, and having little chance to
inquire my way.
This last lack grew with the passing
hours to the size of a threatening haz-
ard. AS you may have guessed, knew
no more than 4 blind man the route
whereabouts of Gilbert Town and Ma
jor Ferguson'S rendezvous than that
both We're some eighty miles to the
westward.
At the outset I had thought to feel
out the way in general by cautious in
quiry along the road: but when l came
to consider of this the risk of betray-
ing my ignorance to those who followed
me was too great to let me turn aside
TO any of the wayside houses; and as
for chance passers-by. there We're none

So l was constrained to gallop on
without pause; and throughout that
comfortlesS afternoon and the scarce
less miserable day which followed,

dull monotony of the blind race save
these two; that once the clouds lifted
enough to give me Il glimpse of my
purSuers in far reach to the east
ward; and once again had sight OF
an awkward horseman in the road be-
fore me-saw him and tried to over
take him. and could not, for all his
clumsy riding.
Now / was curious about this lone
horseman ahead for more reasons than
one, but chiefly because my glimpse of
him seemed TO show me the back of a
man whom / made sure | had left safe
behind in the British guard house in
Charlotte, to-wit: the scoundrelly little
pettifogger
AT first l scoffed at the idea. Saying
he were free to leave Charlotte, how
should he be riding post on my hap
hazard road to the Westward? Twas
against all reason, and vet the tittup-
ing figure of which l had but rain

garvin in spite of all the reasons
could bring to bear.
Twas close on eventide of the sec
ond day, the early evening cleaning OF
a chill autumnal rain-day, and | had
been since morning obviously lost in
the somber trackless forest. when an
eltish cry rose, as it would seem, from
beneath the very hoofs of my horse.
