Sea Water for Street sprinkllna.

Many European cities on the sea-
coast use salt water for watering the
public thoroughfares. calling it a
waste to make use of fresh water for
this purpose. They are the more sat
isfied because certain properties of sea
water eliminate the necessity of fire.
quent applications On the other hand,
salt water exerts a very destructive
influence on the paint and varnish of
vehicles and merchants affirm that
the salt is found everywhere and that
Its deliquescence Is attended with
harmful results. And again. salt
water is destructive to the pipes and
metallic fittings, and the leakage of
the pipes kills vegetation in streets,
parks and gardens.

that occasionally some big thoughts

evolved the interesting theory that as
life companion cat Is far more
preferable than a man.
After enumerating the faults of an
average husband, she proceeded to
tell OF the high qualities of cat. and
when she came to that part in her ora
ton when comparisons became neces-
sary, poor husbands had not leg to
stand on.
The three strongest points that she
made were that cats trim their own
whiskers, never complain and. if they
happen to come home late in the wee
small hours, they do not invent ex-
cuses, and though guilty of misbe-
havior, they never walk diagonally
across the rooms. chewing second
rate cigar and vainly endeavoring to
make themselves understood.
Well, it seems as if the cats had
the better of it. and so far no de-
fender of poor downtrodden man has
appeared on the scene.-Exchange
