!esa until n very old woman. who had spent
all her life in Harlem, was found. She
said that abe remembered the well more
than seventy years ago, when 1t was famous
through the villa ge of Harlem for the purity
and GOODNESS Of the water, and even then
il had existed beyond the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. There was no Croton
water in those far of days. The house
was occupied by Deacon Thompson, a
popular Harlem patriarch, and Deacon
Thompson's pump was as famous and
popular as the deacon himself. The old
lady said that the well had been abandoned
for more than sixty years.
One profession to turn night into day
is the surveyors, and 50 me large engineer
ing companies in New York now have a
night gang working. A system Of re-
fiectors is arranged 80 that a bright light
is thrown on the dial, making it easily read
by the man behind the level a block away.
The plumb line hangs in front of one of
these refiectors and is also easily seen.
These gangs may lie seen any night, the
only disadvantage over day work being
the additional encumbrance Of the re-
Electors. They have the advantage, how
ever, of not being interfered with by the
crowd.
In past years the students of Columbia
College used to be satisfied with the paste
board backed CoiumbiGd, the annual pub
LEGATION of the juniors, but luxury is making
itself felt even in the colleges. There is now
an edition de luxe Of the college book which
costs many times as much as the regular
volume and has all the BEAUTIES of costly
book making. The sale this year will
settle for the future whether or not there
is a demand for anything SO expensive
among the students.

hotel last summer said the funny man.

Two dogs were frolicking in crowded
Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, when a car ran
over one of them, breaking its leg. 1t lay
beside the track, moaning in pain. The
other dog oircled around it, barking angrily.
IL refused to allow any one to approach
its wounded friend. Then it apparently
dete rmined on a plan of action. 1t ven
up to the PROSTATE dog, poked its nose
under the shoulder where the leg was broken
and assisted the wounded one to its three
remaining feet. Then. apparently whisper
ing words of cheer and comfort, it gently
helped its disabled mate to limp to the side
walk. Only then did it allow humankind
to do itS mart in DroVi1inr for the sufferer.
