The work of making the connection
AZ the water mains on the north and

south side of Cony street was being
carried on yesterday at the east end of
the Kcnnebec bridge. The pipe on the
nsouth side of the street is exactly
under the car tracks and a portion OF
the time when the old sections of
pipe were being removed and new ones
installed, the crew was kept busy in
avoiding a delay of the electric cars on
the Togus line For the most part
however the cars were not delayed and
the work made good progress. The
connection Of the two pipes will enable
a supply of water to be obtained from
either main in case of an accident to
the other.

.aner.IiiIons of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon In re-
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some of them Will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn on moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
Will produce a tall stalk with n short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as the case may be.
Other notions are INDUCED In, such as
throwing the cobs In running water TO
keep corn from firing Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
pinder bulls, the seed of which Is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along path or highway to be
trodden upon in order to secure a gooo
crop. Green butter bean bulls must DE
thrown in q road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to Insure
a good crop the following season.

A Nation of sleeper.

"Rare slumberers are the Turks" de-
clares a writer. "In the villages, at
any rate, they will drop Into the land
of dreams on the slightest pretext and
at the shortest notice. This habit has
advantages, one being that the Turk
does not at all mind being awakened
in the dead of night for the simple rea-
son that he can go to sleep again the
instant he wishes. When staying IN
very limited quarters have often
heard a member of the family get up
and after searching about among jas
sleeping companions thoroughly rouse
them all to ask wheresbis tobacco was
or upon some equally slight excuse"
