NEW YORK TO HAVE RESERVOIR HOLDING 4o,ooo, ,ooo, 900 GALLONS.

New York city. that great hive of humanity, is hard drinker-of wa ter, and no sooner does she complete one source of supply at millions of dollars expense than forthwith she discovers that the supply Is made Quate for her ever growing demands and she immediately sets about pro- viding for more. When the Croton reservoir was completed, it was gen rally supposed that the city would have enough water to drink, enough to bathe in and enough to use for laun- dry and other purposes for years to come, but it seems that the S2,0O0,0 ,000,- 900 gallon capacity of the Croton res ervoir is but beginning of wet times for the big city and that 40,000,- 000.000 gallon supply is to be provided in addition by the construction of the Kensico reservoir that is to be built 1n Westchester county in the Cats kills, 100 miles away.

SAVED BY BEETLE
A REMARKABLE DELlvERANcE
 WROUGHT BY LITTLE BUG.
Discovered on the White Sheet It Drives the Fair Occupant to Another Room and to
 Safety.

During the nine years we had lived at our house we had not seen one mouse, or rat, or black beetle!
 This was something to be proud of when one considers the swarms of these pests that are to be found in many suburban houses, in spite of traps and poison.
 Only a few evenings before the night of the adventure in question we had been discussing these house hold pests, and mother had given us some thrilling descriptions of the mice which infested the old Suffolk farmhouse in which she was born and brought up.
 On the night when the incident I am about to describe occurred, went upstairs to my bedroom and un- dressed, noticing nothing unusual at all until I turned back the bedclothes from my bed to get in. There, right in the center of the bed, and crawling on the sheet on which l should myself have lain, was huge black beetle, the first and only one we ever saw in that house.
 recoiled with horror, for black beetles were the one thing above all others which I could not stand, and I ran from the room. On the stairs I met my sister, who shared the room with me. We went back to the room, and the beetle was still in the same place.
 My sister knocked the loathsome creature from the bed and attempted to tread on it, but soon as it touched the ground 1t scuttled away and was lost in an instant Although we hunt ed for some time we could find no trace of it. It had completely van ished.
 However. was not able to reconcile myself to sleeping in that bed. or in- deed that room, on that particular

Wear Filets In Hair.

The summer girl should adopt the fashion of wearing ribbon filets in the hair during the morning. A smooth. full pompadour is made and the hair moistened a trifie if it does not wave readily Then two bands of ribbon are fastened snugly around it, the first being an even distance from the edge, of the hair all around and the second parallel to the first and between 1t and the knot. Pull out the hair out side and between the filets. This makes a pretty and neat arrangement for morning, and when one dresses for the afternoon it Is necessary only to remove the ribbons and fun out the pompadour with a comb. It will lie in pretty waves. This is particular ly good way to achieve the wavy coif- fure now so fashionable. for it is be- yond doubt the least harmful to the hair. In fact. it cannot do it the least injury if carefully done.

'When universal peace Is finally es- tablished," said Alfred H.

We thump and kick poor. weak. struggling movement at its inception, and when it has succeed ed and no longer needs our help. we give 1t the most solicitous support.

Dog Jealousy.

There is a strong trait of jealousy in a dogs nature. A story is told of Birmingham dog that had been a great pet in the family until the baby came. There was suspicion that he was jealous, but he could not be de- tected in any disrespect to the new. conner. It always happened. however, that when the dog was left alone with the baby the baby began to cry. No signs of trouble were ever to be seen upon entering the room, and the dog was always found sleeping peacefully before the fire. Finally one day a peep through the keyhole disclosed the canine rubbing his cold wet nose up and down the baby's back.-outing Magazine.

night, having vague fears that the beetle would return to the bed and share 1t with me, which l think would have been enough to drive me out of my senses.
 My sister and I therefore. after hay ing another look for the beetle, not forgetting to search in the other bed, but without avail, went to another room, intending to spend the night there. This we did, and in the morn ing we returned to our own bedroom to dress.
 On opening the door. what was our surprise to find that the bed in which had originally intended to sleep, had 1t not been for the beetle, was com pletely smothered with huge pieces of plaster from the ceiling!
 The other bed In the room, incredi- ble as 1t may sound. was absolutely untouched save for the dust which had been caused by the falll

 Ny family continued to live in that house for several years. and indeed they still live there. although I have left home. but from that day to this there has been absolutely no sign Of black beetle in that or any other roam of the house.
 Naturally our story caused a great deal of comment when related at the breakfast table. and the rest of the family congratulated us very sincerely oa our fortunate escape.

FATHER HAD HOPES FOR HIM.
Bumptuous Youth Got Benefit of a
 Little Plain Talk.

The following is related of a certain well.known New York business man and his son: The son had just left Harvard and was fired with ambitions which did not include going into his fathers office. When he arrived home his parents began seriously to discuss his future. He stated what his ideas were and spoke of the professions as most likely to afford scope for his genius. The law, he thought, would be the likeliest career. His father, however. had not very high opinion of his abilities, and said so without mincing words. T think" he declared, you had better make beginning by adorning one of my office stools. We can think about your taking up the law afterward." The young man did not see it that way. Office life he loathed, and said 1t was an existence fit only for a dog. Well, my son." re- turned the father, dryly. you're not a dog yet, but you'll grow"
