THEORY AND PRACTICE.
In NJ. o. the Latter Generally Exposes
the Faisity Of the Former,

The theory of municipal ownership
Is that municipal corporations can do
for the public at cost the service now
done by private corporations at q
profit. saving to the public the amount
of the profit in reduced charges.
In the common practice Of municipal
ownership the city does for the public
at increased expense, but for a lower
price, what private corporations have
been doing for a profit. Usually not
only the profit is absorbed in the in
creased expense, but continual an
nual deficiency is covered up by in-
crease of the municipal debt and fall
ure to provide out Of earnings for de-
probation of plant.
BY the time the plant first installed
Is worn out the city, unless very rich
and strong, is apt to be at the end of
its credit. In many cases, like that Of
the Philadelphia gas works, u private
corporation gets the city plant for Il
song and makes money out Of 1t faster
than ever. The fundamental idea of
1t, therefore. is to take the money Of
TAXPAYERS to render service to non
taxpayers for less than the service
costs Editorial in Minneapolis Trib-
une.

AUTOMATIC HERDING.
Ohio Farmers Novel Way to Drive
Cattle Along a Road.

Cattle Along Road.
In Rudolph, the garden Of Portage
county, O., the days Of troublesome
cattle driving are over, says a Raven
ma co. correspondent of the Columbus
Dispatch. A genius has solved the
problem Of bovine chasing, and, while
his contrivance Is of rude architecture,
it does the business Of automatic herd
ing all right.
Sardis Loomis is the genius who
braved the laughter Of his neighbors,
appearing on the highways with his
queer contrivance, and he Is again
about to demonstrate the utility Of his
invention by taking herd of premium
stock to the Portage county fair In
the new way.
The affair is literally fence on
wheels, or "bottomless wagon as
his neighbors call ii. Driven inside
the movable inclosure, everything
from calf to a two ton Durham bull
has to keep moving forward and must
keep up with the horses ahead. They
cannot turn back or display contrary
disposition by running off in some
other direction from the way the
driver wants them to go.
The farmers around about who at
first laughed at Loomis' contrivance
are now looking over their lumber for
material with which to construct one
of their own.

Doubles the Number Of Eggs.

To be successful with poultry re
uuires a great deal more careful atten
ton than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. The
fowls should have plenty Of exercise
but, more than that. the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de
mands and what, If allowed free range
they could procure for themselves
Pages Perfected Poultry Food con
tains these ingredients in carefully
compounded ration. A. A. Olmsted OF
South Newbury, VT, has the following
to say in regard to this food: I'VE
have been for some time using your
Perfected Poultry Food with sucf
good results that we thought 1t a prop
er thing to tell you. 1t keeps our hens
well and In good laying condition and
we think, doubles the number of eggs

MAGIC CURE IN A RIVER.
Ten Minutes In tn Delaware Freed
Van Etten CT Rhc..,atisr1.

The Delaware - r, which has
thriyed on fits II lon as a sure
cure for rattlrsnakc bite To all who
bathe In Its waters back of the wheat
pistillery, now possesses hole which
Is said TO he a sure cure for rheu-
matism. The hole whose waters have
worked this new magic is up back OF
Sparrowbush, two miles from Port Jer-
Wis, y. Y. as the crow flies and eight
miles from tn. distlllery In dry coun.
try, says u Port Jeryis special dispatch
TO the New York World.
Alvah Van Etten. who has been
pointed out as the pitiful example of
rheumatism. Is the Ponce de Leon Of
this wonderful fountain Alvah had
the rheumatism so bad his friends
used tn say he ratified when he walk
ed and when he cried the tears ran
down the back of his neck. Alvah, for
all his troubles, Is great fisherman for
| eels. He has been constructing an eel
farm.
Lately he has been building two
stone wall wings half mile long and
six feet high. Having caught all the
rheumatism 1t was possible for NOR
tai to absorb, Alvah wasn't afraid Of
to his waist
The other day he walked into the
Delaware river, rattling as he has rat
tied for ten years. When he walked
| out his tread was springy, aches and
pains were gone from his bones. and
when he cried he cried for joy, just as
normal beings do.
He was completely cured 1t took
just ten minutes of soaking in the
water and at the end of that time he
could turn handsprings. No one knows
just why 1t happened, but all of Spar
rowbush has inspected Alvah and pro-
nounced the cure perfect.
Walt Tisdell says the river is work
| ing, which Is usual this time of year,
and that the carbonic acid gas has
done the trick.
Fred wilkins says: ITS rattlesnake
grease. A lot Of rattlers started across
the Delaware into Pennsylvania the
other day near Mongaup. They got
! stuck In the moss at the shoal, and
the heat killed them and tried out the
! fat. The fat foated down. and Alvah
caught II Just as 1t was coming"
Jim Hayes says: ITS lie. Kerosene
lie cures rheumatism. The lie oozes
| out of the Mahony lie wells In the rift,
and Alvah soaked 1t up. Alvah wants
to be mighty keerful about smoking or
he'll ketch fire for some time TO come"
Whatever the secret of it, Alvah Is
cured, and all the neighborhood Is TAX
ing baths In the weir hole.

There will he many street lights AMI
each room In all the various buildings
of the model village will have its full
complement of electroliers.
There will he n laundry completely
fitted up with modern appliances,
where all the washing of the station
will be expeditiously handled. The
power house and laundry will be Of
concrete. while the other buildings are
to be OF frame construction with con-
crete foundations. The hig wharf will
be brilliantly lighted at night and will
contain a lighthouse and fog bell to
warn mariners of treacherous rocks
and shoals. The administration build
ing is to be heated by steam, while Il
hot water heating system will be in
stalled In the hospital.
The water problem, which threat
ened to present serious difficulty
when first considered. has been solved
by Mathews. There will lie two res
eryoirs, one containing fresh water
brought in by barges and also secured
from a spring which is now being
developed, the other containing salt
water pumped from the bay. The
salt water will he used for bathing
purposes in the Asiatic quarters and
the fresh water for cooking and drink
ing purposes.
The task of building the model immi-
grant station has presented many diff
culties, chiefly on account Of the ir-
regular formation of the island and
the necessity of bringing everything
in by boat. However, these are being
overcome, and it is probable that an
other year will see the station COM
pleted. Landscape gardeners are al
ready engaged in laying out the
grounds, which will be as artiStically
beautiful as they can be made and
will present a very pleasing sight to
passing vessels. Probably half hun
dred or so will constitute the resident
force Of employees. and a regular ferry
service will probably be established
when congress passes the necessary
appropriation. as it has promised to
do at the next session.

on behalf of Lucius o. Wilson OF l1JlS

Furthermore, It Is duly set forth
that any person who Is now raising

The chickens, according 10 the Ordi

grow large, but not at the expense OF
