The Ancient Oracles.

Herodotus mentions between seven
ty and eighty oraces of one sort and
another. There Is no reason for think
ing that the people who patronized
the oracles had other than the liveiiesC
faith in them. The two great oracles
were those Mt Delphi and Dodona.

stood well with the people The pre-
dlctions were. of course, nothing but
predictions. since it Is now generally.
understood that the promoters OF
those famous institutions were only
ordinary human beings like those who
patronlzed them. The deliverances of
the oracles belong TO one Of two
classes-frst. those founded on secret
information and, second. those in
which the oracle had absolutely no
ideas on the subject and took refuge
In sheer vaGueness. 1t was the faith
of the people rather than the infalli-
bility of the oracles that kept them
up SO long.

OF beer is exceeding small. Beer
and light wines constitute the ma
tional beverage equally for the
wealthy and the lowly, the rich and
the poor. The many beautiful gar
dens where drinks are dispensed,
having comfortable tables and chairs
and good attendants. are crowded
during pleasant weather with the
most respectable classes of society,
ranging from the highest in rank to
the peasantry, all joining together
in a republic of pleasure, drinking in
moderation while enjoying the best
of music. This is furnished as
rule by some one of the numerous
military bands. 1t is the same dur
ing the winter months with the in
door places.
Upon many journeys through Ger
many | have never seen one single
case of drunkenness in any of these
halls or gardens. Treating, with its
conconlitant evils, is practically un
known. Each man pays for what he
requires, drinking no more than he
wishes. Sometimes the general thirst
on warm summer day is titanic in
its capacity for consumption. But,
Notwithstanding the vast quantities
consumed, beer does not seem to en-
gender the comhative element
aroused by alcoholic drink; it has
rather the reverse effect, for it not
only satisfies the thirst, but contains
food quality, which resists the
small percentage of alcohol, render

SOUTH RIVER
WATER TEST
Pipe in Main Street Burst
Under Heavy Pressure.

South River, Nov 13:-A test of
the municipal water system was
made yesterday morning by Con-
tractor Matthias, under a pressure
of ninety pounds. One of the water
pipes In Main street, in front Of
borough hall, burst open and COM
peltely flooded the business section
before the water could be shut Off.
Upon examination II was found
that the pipe contained several sand
holes that we're below the surface
and could only be found by a heavy
pressure. Other sections of the
system stood the test and every n.y.
.drant poured out a volume OF wa
ter at the first turn of the wrench.
The test was witnessed by Mayor
Mark and the council and several
citizens, who are anxious to have
he 30. X" of approval put upon
the system, so it can be used in case
of fire.
Centrifugal pumps r used tc
pump water into the system and are
capable of producing a pressure OF
20 pounds in case of emergency
The officials were well pleased
with the demonstration and test
made Yesterday and are satisfied
that the borough has a water pam
that will serve every necessity thai
may arise during the next flfteeh
years.
Contractor Matthias has been un-
der bonds to put the system into op-
Grafton by November IA, and by
starting the pumps and successfully
filling the pipes completes his
agreement. The bursting OF the
pipe was accidental and will be re
paired soon.
