THE HOME MERCHANT.

A portion of the people seem dis
inclined to patronize the home mer-
chant except when they cant help it.
They will ask a grocer to deliver a
yeast cake to their back door. But
when it comes to ordering a winters
supply of canned goods, they write to
some distant department store.
1t should be needless to say, that if
everyone did thus, we would have
stores to rent, fewer opportunities
for people to earn living at home.
On the contrary, if we all bought
everything possible at home, our
stores could keep even better stocks.
1t is a great convenience to be able
to make selections from good line
of goods at home. This becomes pos
sible when everyone sloyally supports
the home merchants.
Under such circumstances existing
stores could do larger business, en-
.ploy more people, and new concerns
would start. Every person owning
real estate or business in Pleasant
vile would see it grow more valuable
Even the man with nothing would
gain. There would be more property
to tax, hence more public improve
ments. With more money in circula-
tion our fraternal societies, churches
and clubs could serve the community
more efficiently.

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

The question whether Pleasantville
needs sewerage was settled long ago.
When Pleasantville put in a public
water supply, the necessity for sew
erage system arose at once, and
grows more and more urgent as time
goes on. After the introduction of a
public supply, many of our citizens
furnished their houses with modern
bath and closet conveniences, and be-
gan to discharge into the soil very
large amounts of sewage. Poisoning
of the soil began at once, and in a
short time reached the private water
supplies of citizens who did not take
the public water supply. This pol
luton of soil and water must widen
I'M area, and increase in concentra-
tion, as time passes, and it will inev-
itably express itself either in occas-
ional epidemics, or else in constant
ly high amount of sickness. To post
pone the sewerage problem is to de-
liberately expose the town to one or
the other of these evils. Either
there will be a shocking epidemic, or
the town will get used to having a
great deal of sickness which the
thoughtful will know is due to want
of sewerage, while the thoughtless
will contend that you do not expert
ence any more sickness than other
towns. Whether there is a reward in
epidemic or in a customary excess of
sickness, the result will be practically
the same to Pleasantville. The repu-
tation of the town will be damaged as
much by startling epidemic occur
ring every five or six years, as by the
slight excess of sickness, which the
people may deny, but which thought
full people will talk about all the time.
Thoughtful people will not care
whether Pleasantville is healthy, in
fact, or not. They will say that a
town which has public water and no
sewerage, must be unhealthy, and
therefore is to be avoided as place
of residence. Assuming that Pleas
antville wants to realize on her nat
ural advantages, and means to occupy
the place which rightfullv belongs to
her, the question of sewerage has
been settled ever since the water
works were introduced. The town
must have sewerage, or take a back
seat. The progress of sanitary sci
ence enables the town to have advant-
ages that could not have been secur-
ed few years ago. The need of sew
erage being imperative, the people
can but look forward to it's installa-
tion with everlasting gratefulness
and it is the earnest hope of The
Pleasantville Press that the public
meeting called for Monday evening
next may prove the starting point fol-
the realization of this necessity.

PAUPER SNoBs OF INDIA.
eesears That Will Not Work Because
They Are Aristocrats.

They Are Aristocrats.
One-fourth of the Anglo-lndian popu-
lation in India is supported by charity.
For the Anglo-Indlan thinks that work
is beneath him, and really at heart he
is a born snob. 1t isn't drunkenness
which makes him an object Of charity,
for there is comparatively little drunk
enness among the poor in India. Nor is
1t the seasonal trades, as 1t sometimes
is with us, for work there is continuous
the year round. Neither is it the mo-
notony of dreary home or daily toll
that drives him to drink and then to
poverty. For there is no part of Cal
cutta where there are people Of one so
cial grade, but the homes of the poor
are interspersed with the rich.
He is a pauper purely and simply be-
cause he is an aristocrat. He has Eng
llsh blood in his veins and he wants to
live like the English, and the English
In India are the successful and the rich.
They have their well appointed homes,
their servants and every luxury. The
Englishman who works with his lands.
the men in the factories, the day labor
ers, the frontiersmen. the farmers are
not found in India. The beggar snOb
does not know of their existence. He
knows only the coolies and the Hindus,
who work with their hands, and he
will not be one Of them. He wishes
to pattern his life after the English
man whom he knows. He wants to
have a servant and be waited on, and
IL he cannot he will not work. To dig
with a shovel is disgrace In his eyes
and begging is infinitely more respec-
table.
SO the Anglo-Indian pauper is sup
ported on a scale better than that OF
the faithful workmen among the Hin
dus and coolies. and the burden of the
charity falls on the rich English. The
wealthy Hindus will take none Of the
responsibilities. They say that the
Englishman created this class and that
on him falls the weight Of support.
There is another cause Of this power
ty also, apart from this strong false
sentiment. That is the insanitary CON
ditIons of life which cause the death
of the father Of the household at an
early age. This reduces the family to
pauperlsm at once, as the lines Of
work open to the Anglo-Indlan woman
which she will accept are practically

BEAUTIFYING THE
SUMMER PORCH.
1t May Be Transformed Into a
Cool and Attractive Outdoor
Sitting Room at Very Little
Extra Expense.
.NHE adornment Of the summer

DWN HE adornment Of the summer
porch is a subject that is now
close to the heart Of the
housewife. In our love for
outdoor life we are closely approach
ing the English. Even If one has only
rear porch in the city it has become
the fashion to make the most Of it.
Fortunately the great mass Of Amer
leans have suburban or semisuburban
surroundings that permit them to graf
ify taste for making outdoors part
of their habitation each day during the
summer. If they do not have roomy
porch the back yard is sodded and fit
ted with rustic arbor or marquee In
which the housewife may sit and sew
or read Of summer afternoons and
where the man Of the house may
smoke his pipe in peace with q neigh
Dor on summer evenings.
The porch forms part Of the equip
ment Of most modern suburban houses,
and those who own picturesque and
roomy one are fortunate, for at little
cost it may be fitted up to make them
the envied Of the neigbborhood.
The most important feature Of the
porch's preparation for summer occu-
pancy is the fitting 1t in with wire to
keep out insects. A carpenter will
make frames for this purpose, and If
they are covered with galvanized wire
they will last for two or three seasons
in this shape, for they can be removed

INGENIOUS SUNDIALS.
They Were Quite Popular In Paris In
the Eighteenth Century.

They Were Quito Popular In Paris In
the Eighteenth Century.
Parislans have always been extreme
ly devoted to sundials, and 1t is prob
able that the French capital possesses
a greater number of these time indicat-
ing devices than any other city in the
world.
Even In the eighteenth century the
sundial was most popular In Paris,
and fashion singled out for Its choice
the sundial Of the Palais Royale.
Every day at noon this was the center
Of interest~Of an eager crowd. A writ
er Of that period tells of a great crowd
in the corner Of the Palace Royale gar
den, standing motionless with their
noses in the air" each was waiting for
noon, having his watch In hand, ready
to set at - o'clock.
When the Duke Of orleans was alter
ing the palace in 1882 the Parislans
were much disturbed, thinking that
they were to be deprived Of their fa-
vOrite sundlal. But the duke not only
preserved the sundial, but added to 1t
little powder magazine, which was
so arranged that 1t exploded when the
sunlight fell upon 1t, thus notifying ev-
cry one who heard the explosion that
the hour Of noon had arrived. Later a
cannon which was discharged by the
sun at noon took the place Of the little
powder magazine.
Button arranged an ingenious dial in
the botanical garden. A globe which
represented the earth was suspended
by a hair. The hair was burned
through by the sun at noon, and the
globe fell upon Chinese gong.-St'
