Gardens In the lower part OF the
Second ward have for years past suf
fered for water despite the fact that
the owners have water rights in the
Logan and Benson canal. From wha,
we can learn, this lack OF water Is due
to the action OF the farmers control
ing the ditch. They do not turn the
water In until they need it on theil
farms In the low.lands, by which time
the gardens in the above locality have
witbered up. II this is the true DIFF
ficulty. parties In charge OF this cana
should take steps to give the relic
asked for. Families need their garden
truck and this cannot be raised with
out water.

MIDSUMMER REPAIRING.
In the Middle of the Summer the Care

of Stock.

There are few women who can DOS.

May, observes Anne Rittenhouse.
Sun and soap are two very damag-
Ing causes of the going-to-pieces OF
tile clothes we wear between March
and October. While blouses disin.

the washboard and the sharp point
OK the iron; most colors fade from
cloth after being worn in the sun after
two months; white skirts begin to
show raveling threads at the edge
and from constant pulling and press
ing the plaits and the gathers get out
OF gear.
Colored straw hats fade, as well as
the roses and ribbon on them. Even
tan shoes get steadily darker while
the stockings bought to match them
grow rapidly lighter. So it is that
even the most careful woman finds
herself in the middle of the warm
months looking far more disheveled
and unneat than she cares to own.
Then should come week of mend
ing. altering and replacing.
Whether or not women have any
system of renewing their clothes at
this time of the year, no woman can
afford not to have general overhaul
ing of every garment she wears, un-
der-linen. hats and clothes.
1t is strange how upon close in
spection we find our clothes not all
we thought them to be in neatness
and freshness.
Summer clothes are certainly per-
ishable ones and unless we have a
constant criticism of them from the
outside we are apt to let all the little
details slip. and then gasp with as
tonishment when we really see tho
condition of things.
few good days of ripping and
mending, of putting on new belts and
renewing old collars, of replacing but
tons and cutting off edges will do
wonders toward giving us a fresh
ened wardrobe for the rest of these
days.

WHAT is A TURBINE" l.?
Engineer Explains 1t by Saying II
Is Like Series of Paper
Wind Mills.

Turbines" especially In the case
of turbine steamers" have been very
conspicuous in engineering matters
OF late years, yet there are probably
few people outside the rank. II en-
gineers who know what a turbine is.
The best idea | can give of it,
said an engineer, ''is to liken II to
those paper windmills which spin on
the end of a stick, and which are sold
to children on the streets. A turbine.
in fact, is like a series Of these re-
volviag wheels fixed one behind the
other, only instead of being turned
by the wind. 1t is revolved by jets of
steam.
The turbine wheels turn on a shaft
inside cylinder. in the interior of
which are fixed a number of station
ary blades which project into the
space between each wheel. The pur-

ries pin at its upper end, which Is
adapted to engage one or other of
these perforations. according to the
pitch Of the roof. The method CT
linking the bracket bars to the
notched bars is clearly illustrated in
Fig. III. When the brackets are in
position a scaffolding plank is sup
ported on them. In some instances it
may be necessary to use the bars at
their full length on one side OF a
roof; that is. to reach from the peak
of the roof to the gutter. In such q
case hooks are used, which are con-
nected to the bar by loop, and these
hooks are adapted to engage the peak
of the roof. as indicated in Fig. l..
AS the notches in the bars are of T.
form, it is obvious that the bars may
be used either end up. Mr.. John
Emberson, White Plains. N. Y, is the
inventor of this improved scaffolding.

A Novel Form Which Is Particular y

Of Buildings.

A novel form of scaffolding has re-
Gently been invented, which is par.
ticularly adapted for use on roofs Of
buildings. 1t will be found very con-
venient when repairing chimneys or
doing other work on roof, as 1t
may be easily handled or placed in
position, and when not in use it can
be compactly folded for storage or
transportation. The Scientific Amer
ican describes the invention as fol-
lows: The scaffolding comprises a
pair of bars. each consisting of two
sections. which are hinged together.
In use the bars are passed over the
ridge of the roof, with the sections
resting against opposite sides, as
shown by Fig. III. in the accompany
ing engraving. The sections, it will
be noticed. are provided with under.
cut or T-shaped notches, which are
adapted for engaging links or loops

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves the
y, odigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it,
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
it their penalty or reward?
How many Of US in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before 1t was thrown down. the
Golden Calf had a son. and 1t is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives of men one
must be man himself. To an idiot

|MADMAN ON ROOF
REPELS RESCUERS.

| On arising in the morning Daily,
who is powerful and weighs iSO
pounds, crept from his ward to The
back porch, where inmates take tn cir
walks. There is a porch OH every
floor, all inclosed by stout iron Eet-
ting to prevent escape. This netting
runs from the ground to the roof.
DAILY worked hole in it, and, worm
ing his way through, found himself
on the outside, clinging to the mesh.
Instead of jumping-he was on the
first floor-he began climbing up.
clinging to the heavy wire like
squirrel. Before he had ascended to
the next story he was seen by attend
ants. But as he refused to descend
it was thought best to let him have
his way, the guards believing it would
be easy to induce him to come down
later.
Several attendants followed DAILY to
the roof. He seated himself on the
stone cornice and watched them ap-
proach. They mounted to the summit
of the ridge of the roof and as a first
venture tried soft arguments. DAILY
was scornful and defiant. He warned
his pursuers to leave him alone or
he would jump.
The city firemen at the Jefferson
station were called. They ran a ladder
to the eyrie perch of the maniac. AS
a fireman mounted to the roof DAILY
drew back. mumbling and renewing
his threats. The plan was failure
and was given up, the ladder being
left in place.
1t was now the middle of the fore
noon and the roof grew hot in the
rays of the midsummer sun. DAILY
shifted from one foot to another to
save his shoeless soles. The crowd
saw him remove most of his clothing
and wondered what form his dementia
was to take next.
This clothing was laid on the ledge
and DAILY stepped on it. He had
found cool footing and cheated the
sun. For hours, through the middle of
the day, he was seen standing erect,
silhoutted against the sky, or finding
temporary relief in sitting on his i'm
provised cushion.
AS dinner time came many of the
watchers left the grounds. Superin-
tendent Wilhite asked the others to
depart, and soon there was not a
person to be seen in the vicinity of the
building. Numbers having failed, Dr.
White thought he would see if DAILY
would not come down of his own ac-
cord when left alone.
Daily, however, showed no signs of
quitting his perch. 1t became dusk,
and at length it was impossible to
discern his figure. Then DR.. Wilhite's s
inspiration came to him.
The result was, as stated, that the
superintendent lured the patient to
safety.
After DAILY had been returned to his
ward it was seen that he had suffered
no injury beyond blistering his feet.
