protested, ''and it will hurt your

bought a whitewash brush. He paid

Then he bought bushel of lime and
went home. The lime was a fine pow

with water became a watery fluid with

stayed in the bottom of the tub.
When he used the new brush IL

He turned the job over to Uncle

Auction Sale on Large Scale,

The old adage that one half of the
world knows not how the other half
lives applies in a measure to the fact
that there were sold by auction in
New York last week between s5.OOO.-
900 and s6.000.O00 worth OF carpets
and rugs. the product of a big carpet
mill at Yonkers. n. Y. The sale was
conducted on the upper floor of one
of the big buildings along Fifth ave-
nue. in the wholesale district. and con-
tinued from Monday morning. when Il
opened. until Saturday evening at
1880. IL was attended by buyers from
all over the country, who spent the
entire day in the auction room. taking
only a brief respite at room time for
luncheon. The luncheon was provided
at the salesroom, so that the buyers
did not have to leave the building and
consisted OF a supply daily OF 5000
sandwiches. 80 gallons OF coffee. 20
gallons Of consomme and 500 bottles

French Women in Politics.

OF the feminist movement in France,
makes the suggestion that while con-
scripion continues in force. a compul-
sorry nursing service for all women

Instituted. Another question which
the women there are considering is
the forbidding Of the sale OF absinthe
which. as all who have lived in Paris
know. is responsible for the ruin Of
many n career. In France women
know that n breath of ridicule would
kill their cause. and so their methods
in pursuing the elusive vote have to
be the most dignified. In spite of the
fact that they have big odds to con-
tend with, tho cause is undoubtedly
forging ahead in Paris. A regular
electoral campaign is being held and
daily meetings are in order. Both
press and politicians have had their
attention attracted by the work the
women are carrying on and are giving
It considerable time and attention.

Mustaehe. Compulsory.

Mustaches have been made COM
pulsory in the Austrian army, or.
rather, an old ordinance has been re-

itry. it is said, on the personal wish
of the Emperor Francis Joseph The
original compulsory mustache order
dates from before 1S4S, and its au-
thor was General County Cyulai, the
successor of the famous Radetzky in,
the war with the Italian states. who
himself possessed an immense flow
ing mustacne and who wanted every
man in the army to grow one too. The
new order at the same time upholds
the exclusive privilege enjoyed by the

was defeated in 1857, in memory of
which they were allowed to shaveJ

Johns Chocolates.

The office force of the Philadelphia
& Reading Railway company at Eighth
and Master streets had good laugh
on John. one of the clerks. the other
morning. says the Philadelphia Times.
He was telling his companions of a
girl he was going to call upon that
evening. All went well until after
luncheon. when a package. very neatly
done up. arrived for John. That got
the boys; they had to see what was
in it. When John went out they
opened 1t and found it contained choc-
olates. These they took out and re-
placed with coal.
In the evening John called on his
fair one and presented her with what
he thought was chocolates. OF course
she went on saying. "Oh. John. what
did you bring these for?"
At the same time, glad he did so.
she opened the box, took one out. and
put 1t in her mouth All of sudden
she said:
why. John. that's awfully funny
candy"
After lighting the gas she discov-
cred 1t was coal. John made all kinds
OF excuses. but failed.

Some More Law
EDITOR NEWSPAPER:

iHdth hS iOi tiiiS iSSuC VI yOui paper,
i attended meeting of the board
of trustees at which ,he water
supply was discussed In fact
delegation of ladies was present
with petition setting forth the
fact that under present regula-
tions it is impossible in some
parts OF town to keep lawns alive.
The plan outlined in my Ramb
ling Remarks elsewhere in this
paper was discussed. The town
attorney expressed the opinion
that the town could not spend
the money necessary to construct
the proposed system. To his con-
clusion of law | take exception.
The statute expressly authorizes
cities and towns to incur an un-
limited debt for the construction
of water works to supply citizens
tor FIRE and domestic purposes"
Under the ruling OF the town at
torney, the town has n- right to
use the water we have for any
purpose except domestic use. On
the evening he delivered that
opinion the superintendent of the
water plant informed the board
that the water in the reservoir at
6 o'clock measured less than six
inches. The town was then and
perhaps every evening duriug the
summer will be without fire pro-
lection. 1t is perfectly apparent
that under the present equipment
no plan can be devised by which
a sufficient supply can be had for
fire and sprinkling. Now in the
plan suggested OF taking water
from the Stewart ditch. the new
pipe lines can be connected by a
valve to the present pipe system
at any time water is short and
needed for fire. The present sys
tenn was erected for the purposes
of furnishing water Tor domestic
and fire purposes and was legal.
An addition to that system to
make 1t adequate for fire purposes
would also come within the pur
view of the law and be legal.
The present system is used for
sprinkling and IT is not contended
that such use renders the pro-
cceding illegal. and 50 a system
constructed for the purpose of
making fire protection ample an
incidentally Tor sprinkling wouic
also be legal. The petition pre-
sented by the ladies pointed ou
that the town has no right to Gu
off the supply TO residents OF the
town while supplying ranches IN
the country And the position IL
we'll taken. Any residents en-
titled to the use OF water in town
can legally prevent the town from
furnishing water to those not res
idents. 1t would be exceedingly
poor policy to resort to that ex
tremity. especially when an ade
quate remedy OF a different and
unobjeetionable kind is at hand
The construction OF another res
crvoir OF the dimensions contem
plated will not relieve the diff

a little common sense in this mat
ter. We must have more waite

Tho Witch Finders.

Three hundred years ago the busi-
ness of finding out witches was well
established and accepted in courts Of
law us highly proper. In l649 1t Is re-
corded that the magistrates Of New
castle. England, sent to Scotland for
an expert witch finder. This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering fifteen witches and secur-
ing their conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder
Of that period. 1t was easy TO discover
witches when you knew how. The sus-
pected person could be forced to WEEP
and then detected by the we'll known
fact that witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye. or
she could be pricked with pins to dis
cover the spot insensibe to pain. which
was a sure sign of dealings with the
devil. That women were far more
likely to dabble In witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by famous
German text book on witches published
In the fifteenth century. 1t was sim
ply that women were inherently wick
ed. whereas men naturally inclined to
goodness.
