Water at a Cent Pitcher.

The spectacle of water being re-
tailed in the public streets can be
seen almost any weekday at St. Day
in Cornwall. In all probability there
Is no other case of the kind in Eng
land. The charge for the water is
a cent per pitcher. The water is OBJ
tanned from what is known as Nogue
Shoot, about half a mile from the vii
lage, where there is an abundant
supply of pure water.

Talent and Tact,

Talent is power, tact is the skill to
use 1t. An engine can whirl train
with 20 cars over the continent at a
mile minute clip, but it could not do
this without the motive power of
steam-it would stand on the rails, an
inert mass of steel and iron. 'Tis
the steam that makes the wheels re-
volve and causes it to rush through
the lengths Of space.

Two boys were out picking nuts,
and they wanted to divide them
equally between, SO they went over
the fence into the cemetery and sat
down among the tombstones to count
the nuts. While going over the fence
they dropped two nuts, but didn't
stop to pick them up. A man came
along, stopped to listen and heard
them saying: lone for you and one
for me-" "One for you and one for
me-" and he became badly frightened
and ran away down the road, and
met another man, who said, Whats
the matter?" The first man said,
THE devil and the Lord are up in
the cemetery dividing up the people,"
and the second man said, "Oh, no;
that could not be-" The first man
says: Yes, sir; l heard them" The
two men went back to the fence to
listen and heard them saying, "One
for you and one for me; One for you
and one for me; now that's ALL" and
the other boy says. Except the two
at the fence, and that will be one for
you and one for me-" The two men
ran away as fast as they couid.

WILL FORMULATE COST SYS-
TEN TO ELIMINATE COSTLY
COMPETITION.
Printers From All Parts of the East
Have Joined in the Moveme 1T
Now in Progress.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-To formulate a
throat competition is the object of the
first National Cost congress of EN-
ploying Printers, which was opened in
Chicago today. Printers from New
York and other large cities have joined
with the Chicago concerns in the move
ment
The congress is held under the
auspices of the United Typothetae Of
America, the printers boards of trade,
the Benjamin Franklin clubs and the
master printers associations, all or
CARNATIONS of employing printers.
Charles w. Smith, secretary of the
New York Typothetae, said in regard
to the purposes of the meeting:
This congress is unique in the his
tory of the trade. For many years
through the lack of some uniform sys-
tenn in calculating cost the employing
printers have been up against a hard
proposition, while wages and every
thing else has been increasing while the
prices the master printers have been
receiving have remained nearly at a
standstill owing to Wasteful cOmpeti-
ton regardless of the cost
while some of the establishments
have been doing a large business they
have not been making a fair income
on the investment, and with large or
ders on hand many firms have had to
go out of business because they could
not make it pay. The congress is to
devise ways and means to protect the
trade from ruinous competition in the
fcae of constantly increasing ex-
penses.

Weed Seeds in Manure.

1t is well known that there is con-
siderable risk of introducing new
weeds by the purchase of manure and
hay and other feeding stuffs. z. l. Os-
valid Of the Maryland experiment sta
ton, undertook to obtain more definite
information on this point, especially as
ergards dissemination through manure,
by studying the effect of the fermenta-
ton of manure handled in different
ways and of passing through the diges-
tive systems of animals on the vitality
of various seeds, including seeds OF
about fifty of the worst weeds found in
Maryland.
In experiments in which manure re-
manned for six months in a barnyard
heap and for short while in piles,
as when shipped in carload lots from
cities, it was found that in the first
case there was no danger, and in the
second case little danger of distribut-
ing live weed seeds.

WILLIAM hOGAR1H.

William Hogarth, one of the great
and manners England has ever pro-
duced, was born in London 212 years
ago. His entrance into the world of
art was a novel one. Having been
present-accidentall it is alleged-at
a drunken fray one Sunday in a pub
lie house, he amused himself by
sketching the characters engaged in
the rough house" pranks, one of the
combatants being pictured as streaming
with blood. This grewsome spectacle
resulted in a picture which first at
tracted attention to Hogarth's ability.
Soon after he produced print of
Wanstead assembly which added to
his fame
In 1920 he actively entered the ranks
of the artists, although his work was
of a bread and butter nature, in
Guiding designs and book plates for
the London publishers and booksellers
and portraits
He gradually achieved fame and a
comfortable fortune, his "Rake's Pro-
gress and similar works attracting in
ternational attention. In 1852 his
health began to give way and he was
seized with serious disease which
the physicians We're unable to diagnose
and which led to general decay. The
last year of his life he spent chiefly
in Chiswick, and labored to the last
He died October Is. 1854.
Critics generally agree that in
originality Of conception and the imag-
ination he displayed he ranks as great
as an artist as Shakespeare was as a
dramatic writer and poet In point Of
execution he is superior to most ar
fists of his age and time. His works
are still treasured and have great
value.

No matter how gladly, how eagerly
even, anyone gives it, sympathy IS
something of a drain.
And it is possible to ask too much
of it even fro mthose who love us.
Especially in letters.
If you love anyone you want to
write him the kind of letters that will
make him happy and the best way to
do that certainly isn't to tell him all
your petty troubles that you will prob
ably have forgotten before you get
an answer
