The New Reservoir and Town of
Brighton Water System.

The new reservoir is completed, with
a capacity of between four aud five
hundred thousand gallons. The eIeva-
ton is sufficient for all the needs of the
town for fire protection, and the location
proved to he admirable. The bottom is
solid clay or hard-pan, and will hold
water without cement. 1t is, however,
paved with stone. as also are the sides,
cemented down from the top about four
feet, and the bottom covered with sifted
sand. The overflow is so arranged that
it will empty into the bed of a small
brook. within a few feet of the reservoir.
The inflow is at the bottom, on the
northeast side OF the reservoir. and is so
arranged by system of four gates that
the reservoir can be emptied and cleaned,
or for any other purpose without dis
turbing the supply of water for domestic
purposes. There will also be two blow
offs, one at the brook running through
the new cemetery and another at the
outlet of Island Pond, by which the
pipes can be cleaned. Altogether it is
an admirable work. The pipe line, both
to and from the reservoir, is progressing
as well as could be expected in work
of that nature. There has been some
delay in getting sufficient ten inch pipe
to complete the connection with the
reservoir. but that is now accomplished.
The head where the water will be taken
from the brook is little less than a
mile from, and about a hundred feet
higher, than the reservoir. The line
starts from the head with a six inch pipe
which will probably be reduced to four
| inch pipe soon after the level OF the
reservoir is reached, or perhaps less than
half the distance. This must empty the
water into the reservoir with tremendous
force. The appearances are that the
stream from which the water is to be
taken will always furnish a sufficient
supply. But if not there are eight Of
ten other streams which the pipe linz
will cross before it reaches the reservoir
and three of these are each nearly o
quite half as large as the main stream
1t is understood that the pipes will b
so arranged that the three larger stream
can be added to the supply at any tim
they are desired. The system is to b
, supplied with gates opposite every by
drant on the main line, that in case 0
: an accident to the hydrant it can b
, repaired without stopping the domesti
5 supply. The supply is also divided int
7 sections by gates, so that break in an
: section may be repaired without stol
: ping the general supply. The wor
f below the reservoir is also progressin!
t and it is probable that the whole wor
t will be completed soon after the first
C September. or course it is too earl
0 vet to get figures, but the commissioner
i are confident that the addition to Il
9 cost of the Island Pond Water Con
e pany's plant will not bring the cost
e the whole above what the town
authorized to raise.

ar..t Revix.I Of uddhIem.

Der Buddhist" the German organ
Of Buddhism, gives an interesting ac-
count of the revival Of this ancient re.
ligion. The study Of the Pail, it says
has revealed to educated men in the
Western world the hidden stores OF
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
constantly growing influence on
western thought, having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy Of
Schopenhauer. This revivihcation OF
Buddhist ideas reacted powerfully on
the Orient, and newly founded socie-
ties, schools and newspapers In Bud
dhist Asia are proving that fresh
vigor has found its way into the old
tree. The revival is especially notice
able in Ceylon and India.

70 Agricultural Industries Make
Country Seif-sustaininp.

Though manufacturing industries
have had remarkable growth in ia
pan during recent years. agriculture
still maintains its own as the leading
source Of wealth. The oriental coun.
try can feed its own Inhabitants and
does not have to keep its eyes upon
the graneries Of other nations. To
the fact that the country is mainly
agricultural some eminent Japanese
statesmen have attributed its ability
to continue a long and gruelling war.

ruption Of commerce and the use of
the railroads for military purposes 90

agriculture. though they would ruin

Joke on countryman.

A young countryman was on his way
to Wichita, Kan, on Decoration day.
and coniided to some mischievous fel-
low travellers that he intended getting
a marriage license In that city. One
of the other passengers said that 1t
being holiday no license would be is
sued unless by authority Of Gov. Hoch.
This declaration was Endorsed by all
the conspirators, SO when the country
man reached Wichita he appealed to
the governor, who was there. Gov.
Hoch Joined in the joke and gave the
young man the following. written on
his personal card: ITO the Probate
Judge of Sedgwick County and Whom
IT May Concern: All laws which In
any way interfere with the marriage

Food for the slek.

There Is no branch Of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that OF preparing food for the sick
and feeble. The purpose Of food at
all times is to supply material for re-
pairing the waste which is constant
ly going on In the vital economy; and
hence 1t ought always to be chosen
with reference to Its nutritive value.
But during illness and convalescence,
when the waste is often much great.
er and the vital powers less active, II
is OF the utmost importance that the
food should be OF such character as
will supply the proper nutrition. Nor
Is this all; an article Of food may
contain all the elements of nutrition
In such proportions as to render 1t .
wholesome food for those In health,
and not be proper food for the sick.
for the reason that Its conversion into
blood and tissue lays too great tax
upon the digestive organs. Food for
the sick should be palatable, nutri-
tious and easily assimilated. To dis
criminate as to what food will supply
these requisites. one must possess
cOaAS AOVASh6C Va uiCtCtACb anu Duyb-
tology. as well as OF the nature of the
illness with which the patient Is suf-
fering: and such knowledge ought
to be part Of the education Of every
woman. no matter to what class of 80
ciety she belongs.
Hot buttered toast. tea, rich jellies
and other dainties SO commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles Of diet which they
could partake. As q rule, elaborate
dishes are not suitable.
Scrupulous neatness and care in all
the minute particulars of the cooking
and serving Of food for invalids will
add much to its palatableness. The
clean napkin on the tray, the bright
silver and dainty china plate, with
perhaps sprig Of leaves and flow.
ers beside 1t. thinly sliced bread. toast
or crackers and the light cup partly
filled with hot cruel. are far more ap-
petizing to the invalid than coarse
ware. thickly cut bread and an over
flowing cup Of Cruel. though the cook
ing may be just as perfect. So far an
practicable. the wants Of the patient
should be anticipated. and the meal
served, surprise.

Making Walnut More Plentiful,

That remarkable California scien.
tist who has been producing all sorts
Of fruit freaks. including pitless
peaches and seedless berries, has
turned his attention to other lines of
effort. He now announces that by
crossing different varieties Of walnuts
he has evolved a tree which makes
the fastest growth of any known. This
is held to be the most important Of
any Of his discoveries. as it has dis
tinct and direct commercial value.
Walnut wood is now very scarce and
high-priced. as much as $3.50 to $500
thousand feet being paid for It for
manufacturing purposes. The profes-
sor alleges that by using his process
the wood can be produced SO rapidly
and cheaply that 1t will be in abund.
ant supply for future making, ETC.,
and may even be sold as fuel for
stoves and CRATES. II all that is claim
ed can be verified he will put graft
ing to most beneficial use.

The Modern Slave.

While modern civilization has abol-
ished involuntary servitude, It has in
troduced another form of slavery
which is responsible for more prema-
ture. deaths than ever was attributed
to the old-time human bondage. The
ancient slave was often forced to sub
sist upon miserable food. and to eat at
irregular times and in a hurried man
ner. The modern slave, or in other
words, the modern business man,
feels" compelled to do exactly the
same thing; consequently, he expert
ences similar suffering.
Fully one-half Of our so-called sue
cessful business men are on the very
verge Of physical bankruptcy. Poor
management. physically speaking. is
the common cause Of the condition.
Some vainly attempt to tide them
selves over their physical crisis by us-
ing stimulants, thus borrowing some
Of their future nerve supply. and by so
