An Encournrinx SIGN,

1t is an encouraging sign that SO
many Of our western Massachusetts
cities and towns are this year showing
more than the usual interest In civic
improvement, says the Springfield Re
publican, not alone in the matter Of
beaudfying the open spaces and the
removal Of unsightly objects, but in
arousing public sentiment for the car
rying out Of public improvements that
will make the communities better ones
in which to live. P1ttsfeld has made
an earnest move for better things by
the organization of an improvement as
sociation, behind which are many of
the foremost citizens, and it can be
depended on to the exert strong in
fuence for anything that will improve
that already fine city. 1t is the avowed
purpose of the association, however, to
begin upon the smaller things and work
up to greater, and already the associa-
ton is beginning to make Its presence

CONTROL OF wArERwoRks.
How = New Jersey Town Pronted by
Municipal Ownership.

How New Jersey Town PrOAted by
Municipal Ownership.
The report Of Charles w. Powers, su-
perintendent Of the water department
of Bloomfield, N. j., shows that munic-
ipal ownership of waterworks is prof
liable; says the Municipal Journal and
Engineer. Since January the depart
ment made fifty one house connections
at an expense of 81, ,123.02 and received
for the work s2,O53.65, giving profit
Of $930.63. For the six months pre-
vious the water rents We're $50. 500,
which rose to 500, 1000 for correspond
ing period after the installation Of wa
ter meters.
The first three months Of the year
the town consumed S1,5O0,0O0 gallons
of water, which was lower than the
amount consumed for the correspond
ing period in several years. The Sec
ond three months of the year showed a
consumption of only 6S,0OO,OO0 gallons,
lower than the amount of water the
town would have had to pay for under
contract with the local company, as
the minimum amount that could be
purchased was 75,OOO,OOO gallons each
quarter. This saving represents tha
price of 100000 gallons Of water for
three months Of the year.

A "civil day" commences at mid

An Odd Death Custom.

One of the death customs of the
ancient "Wends" was odd. They
were most careful at the moment Of
dissolution to have no one present
with the dying person. The doors
communicating with the rest of the
house were closed and the windows
Of the death chamber opened to af-
ford easy exit to the evil spirits who,
with the good. leave the mortal at
death. Otherwise these wandering
and malicious spirits would seek
habitations in the first person en-
countered in the house. Once out
side they went to their own places
OF abode, and nobody was further
harmed by them.

A SUBMARINE BATTLE.
Tho Strenuous Time a BIG Grab Had
In Making . Meal.

On shallow shore of Long Is
land, near New York, extend long
sandy beaches. These often are in
terrupted by creeks or little inlets
into which the tide runs at high wa
ter, running out again when the tide
falls.
Standing on a bridge over one of
these runways, l happened to see a
big crab making dinner upon a
piece of fish which he held firmly
in one claw. Around him, but at a
safe distance, were several smaller
crabs, who did their best to JOIN in
the big crabs dinner.
Meanwhile the big fellow had no
time to loiter over his meal, for in
spite of his clever sparring with his
free hand every now and then one of
his small enemies succeeded in max
ing a successful raid and retreated
safely with a bit of the fish.
Still, between attacks big Mr..
Crab was holding his provisions so
fast that the little pirates would
soon be defeated unless they could
invent better plan of attack. They
had been making quick dashes and
still quicker retreats, but the big
crab by wheeling to and fro and by
striking out or swapping his nippers
at them made a successful defense.
He had only to turn as if on pivot,
while they must advance. and retreat
some distance.
Therefore the small fry consulted
their ingenuity and adopted a new
plan of attack. One by one they
scurried upstream, keeping near its
banks, until they were about eight
feet above the defender of the fish.
As each reached the right distance
he would launch himself into the
swiftest part Of the current and let
himself be whirled downward.
By the time the young cruiser.
crab was opposite the big battleship
crab he would be going SO fast that
it was hard to hit him or to grip
him, and yet he, keeping head-on
and having to make no effort, except
single, quick grab at the fish, was
able to score frequent success.
No sooner did the big battleship
crab avoid one little cruiser than
another was upon him, and his store
of food rapidly diminished. Seeing
that his defense was overcome. the
big fellow gave up any attempts to
fight and devoted himself to eating
as fast as possible.
In few moments the fish was
gone and the battle was over. But
it certainly was an uncomfortable
way of taking dinner-for both par
ties to the battle. Civilization has
its advantages.-Forest and Stream.

Plan to Beautisy HOME.

The ladies Of Wenatchee, Wash,
have formed local floral association
and introduced the joys OF plant and
flower culture into many homes. Their
success has been SO great that mid
winter fair is planned to properly ex-
hibit the numerous clusters OF natural
beauty. To stimulate the exhibitors
and make the meeting more interesting
special prizes are offered for the finest
displays. The object is to interest the
children in the cultivation and care Of
flowers and In that manner make the
homes more beautiful.

The Ears of Insect. and Animals.

1t would be quite natural, of
course, to look on the side of the
head Of any living creature, provid-
ed he had head, for the organ of
hearing. Such investigation, how
ever, no odds how thorough, would
be void of results in many instances.
In the clam it is found in the base
of his sfoot," or feeler. In the most
OF grasshoppers it is in the fore leg,
while several species of insects have
it in the wing. Lobsters and crabs
all have the auditory sac at the base

Tho Lake of Blood.

Every polar expedition and whal-
ing vessel which visits the Baffin
bay region puts in at Yaureke bank
SO as to allow explorers and seamen
to visit the celebrated Lake of
Blood. Of it the author of 'My
Summer In the North" says: "It is
lake of considerable extent, lying
only few feet above the level Of
the sea, and appears of a deep dark
blood red. Careful examination
proved, however, that the water
itself was as pure and clear as pos
sible, the red effect being due to the
fact that the bottom and sides of
the lake as well as the few stones
which were scattered about in it
were coated most perfectly with the
red snow plant. In some places,
where the water had evaporated, the
withered red plants on the soil and
rocks looked exactly like dried spots
of blood"

Make Huntersville and BarbsURs-
VILE More Desirable Towns to Lave

To those familiar with the generally
very insanitnry and ugly nature OF the
negro quarters in the average southern
town it will appeal as not the least
wonderful Of the achievements Of the
American Civic association that the
colored people are being organized into
local improvement societies.
From Norfolk county, Va. is report
ed the Huntersville and Barboursville
Civic and Improvement league. from
the constitution of which these extracts
are made:
ARTICLE g. Since men and wom-
en-, and more especially children.
are greatly influenced by their sur
roundings and since love Of order and
neatness, the essential elements Of
thrift, is most readily acquired by ha-
bitual order and neatness In the home,
we hereby form the uuntersville and
Barboursville Civic and Improvement
league, whose main object shall be to
make Huntersville and Barboursville
more desirable places in which to live.
ITO that end we shall try to induce
all persons owning or renting in our
midst to do their utmost to see that all
trash, such as waste paper. sticks,
stones, tin cans and SO forth, Is gath
cred up on their premises; that vines
and flowers, as far as possible. shall be
planted to hide unsightly sheds and
fences; that flowers shall be planted in
front yards and flowers and vegetables
In back yards: that all children shall be
encouraged to engage in such planting
and raising Of flowers and vegetables,
as by SO doing they are taught at once
to appreciate the beauty Of nature and
of utility, acquire habits Of thrift and
are kept OF the streets and out Of mis-
chief.
"We further propose. in the interest
Of public health, to assist the authori-
ties to keep clean and neat the streets
and alleys and to break up the breed
ing places Of mosquitoes and flies,
which have been shown to be such ac-
tive agents in the spread Of disease;
also to place receptacles for waste pa
per at the street corners and to en-
courage the, general habit Of picking
up such trash and placing 1t therein
and In general to do all in our power
to make Huntersville and Barbours-
