Strangers coming to Waterbury are surprised when they see patches of wet spots here and thern en our public streets. But when told that isl the way we have for doing our street sprinkling they smile and ask us to take a lesson from some backwoods town in the manner of sprinkIlng streets. When one stops to think of it the present method seems most ri diculous and nonsensical. The idea of wetting the street in front of the property of Nos. 2, and 6, and skip ping 1, and 5, may be alright from financial point of view, but it isn't a business way of doIns things. Mus nicipal ownership of a good street sprlnkling plant is what is wanted in Waterbury. Let all the streets be sprinkled and make the property own CTS pay for it. What benefit is 1t for the man at No. 9 to pay for wetting down in front of his property when the dirt from his neighbors at No. : and II is blowing all over him. Let us have some up-to-date street sprink- ling methods now, even If we are several years behind the times. --- .

The greatest sensation of last week at Washington was the announcement that the new Panama canal commis- sion had decided to purchase ships and supplies for the building of the canal, in some other country rather than in the United states. Talk about torpedo attacks on the Russion fleet, bombs thrown at the Czar, internal machines sent on board British vessels They have been a nothing to the stir in re- publican camps made by the announce ment of the intention of the. canal commission. Whoever heard of such thing before ? No wonder the blood in the heart of the American grows cold when he hear it, says our Wash ington correspondent. One of the queer phases of this mntter is tbat some one, learned in the law, asks under what fiac will the ships sail. when once purchased. If not built in America. they cannot fly the American flag. and the anomaly will be pre- scented of the American government owning ships carrying an English or a German flag. It is said that the only escape from lis dilemma will be through an appeal to congress to grant by special act the right of such ships to fly the stars and stripes, but no one believes such special act will ever pass. for the congressman bold enough to vote for it might bid fervent and lasting farewell to a seat in the nation al legislature.

RIGHT WAY TO COOK RICE
Southern Woman Tells How II L
Done to Produce the Best

We overheard q conversation ths
3ther day between a southern matrOn
and a northern housewife. They were
talking about rice. The woman from
the south lived on a rice plantation.
Her husband owned large rice fields and
marketed large quantities Of rice every
year says Medical Talk for the Home.
Ts4e t. -sern woman was saying that
rice was not SO very much used I'll the
1or1h, that she didn't believe her family
used dollars worth in a year. we
don't care much for IT, she eald. 'and
3nIy have It on our table occasionally I"
But, said the southern woman
you northern people don't know how TO
cook rice That Il the reason 50 little
of it is used. Why we have it on our
table every day. It has become almost
as much an article OF diet with Us as
with the Chinese.
''fhe mistake so many people make
Ia cooking rice, she went on to say. is
hat they put II on IN a lot Of water and
cook It and cook it. stirring It all the
time, until It is just a pasty. starchy,
unpalatabIe mess. I don't wonder that
people don't like rice when It IS cooked
IN this manner. The Chinaman himself
wouldn't eat such a dish"
But how do you cook it?@ asked the
northern matron. 'FOr my part have
always thought the proper way TO cook
rice was to put it on In boiling water,
and cook it furiOusly for half hour or
more. stirring It every now and then to

we southerners cook rice Is TO wash il
