And they trimmed their lamps as the

Though storms be sudden and waters

In the morning CLEAN as the tide went

And the women are weeping and wiring

For men must work and women must

And the sooner it's over the sooner to

SO goodby to the bar and it's moaning.

High Finance In China.


It Is an esta blished custom In China
that new company must pay divt.
dends to its shareholders from the FIRST
years Of its existence. and this forms
invariably clause of the articles of
association. Some concerns which fail
to realize a profit have to contract a
high interest loan in order to pay divi.
dends in full. It Is this practice that
compels companies to contract loan
after loan until they are plunged into
helpless state. Furthermore. when
new company is established 1t Is
from the start tied down to system
Of commission paying. In every pur.
chase as well as in every sale of the
company commission goes with 1t,
which Is therefore counted into every
payment and receipt, thus occasioning
the need of an unnecessarily large
amount Of capitai.-Argonaut.

DRY CLEANING OF
STREETS IN PROVIDENCE.
Munieipality's eituminous Pavsmsnts
Are Not sprinklsd With Watsr.

/. The fact that bituminous pavements
laid in the city Of Providence are not
sprinkled with water is a subject that
has Occasioned frequent comments on
the part of visitors to this city who
ARE interested in the maintenance and
cleaning Of such pavements, says Wall
ter r. Slade, commissioner Of public
works Of Providence, II. l., in the
American City. He says:
I will say briefly that we are con-
WINGED that bituminous pavements
maintained In good repair can be kept
In condition more satisfactory to all
classes that travel the streets, both
safoot and in vehicles. without rather
than by using water for sprinkling.
We keep them clean by the patrol
system and reasonably free from dust.
I'VE believe that the use of water has
an injurious effect upon the durability
of the pavement. It emphasizes every
slight depression and gathers and re-
tafns the fine particles that collect on
street, creating an unsightly appear
ance and muddy, slippery condition.
This results in the skidding or auto
mobiles and a vast increase in the num-
Der Of accidents.
7 By keeping the pavements free from
water we escape another prolific source
Of complaint. Upon the best of pave
ments there will be depressions suff1-
rcient to retain a thin sheet of water.
The rubber tires of the swiftly NOV
ing auto. and especially the auto truck,
will act as syringe and force the
muddy water in small stream upon
the clothing of any one passing along
the sidewalk and even across the side
walk, covering windows and buildings
with muddy spots.
That more might be learned about
the action of water as affecting the
durability of bituminous pavements it
would be Instructive to bring out the
results of laboratory tests and COM
parison Of the condition Of streets laid
about the same time where water was
used and where not. The whole ques-
tion is subject worthy of the earnest
consideration of all officers that have
charge of the maintenance of bitumi-
nous pavements.

A few years ago the courts every

the educational campaign for civic art

a piece of twelve inch cast iron pipe
set in the ground with its bell end up
ward, the face of the bell being TWEEN
LYNNE inches above the sidewalk
grade and the other end being a suffi-
Gent distance below the surface to OBJ
tain stability. A one inch service pipe,
from the street main makes into Il
two inch riser which comes up through
the center of the standard and is held
in position by cast iron strainer rest
ing in the bell of the large pipe. This
riser is capped with a side outlet cross
standing twelve inches above the top
of the bell end of the pipe, which
forms convenient ledge upon which
to rest pail while filling. Into one
of the outlets Of the cross is inserted a
three-quarter inch self closing hose
bibb. so that a hose line may be at
tached if needed for any purpose. Into
two other outlets are inserted self
closing plain bibbs, and into the out
let facing the sidewalk is fitted bub-
bier controlled by self closing cock.
In this condensed space are found.
therefore, opportunities at once for
three teamsters to draw water and for
another one to obtain refreshing
draft for himself.
Attached to the side of the twelve
inch standard near the sidewalk grade
is a bowl for dogs. This is kept sup
piled with fresh water by the drip Of
the bubbler overhead, the water being
caught in a tunnel set underneath the
strainer and conveyed through a small
pipe into the dog bowl. The waste
from the faucets and a dog bowl is
discharged into the interior of the
twelve inch standard, which has ce-
ment bottom, at which point an open
ing allows the waste to escape into a
drain pipe leading to the sewer. Un-
der the bubbles is fastened step at a
convenient height for. children to reach
the water from that fixture.
All the materials used in the con-
struction of this watering station are,
with the exception of the castings for
the strainer. dog bowl, and step, such
as are found in every water works
shop or supply house. The cost of the
outfit made up in a water works shop
and ready to set in position will be
found to be about $40. To this should
be added about as much more for the
cost Of installing 1t. with supply and
drainage connections. thus providing a
pretty complete watering combination
at very moderate outlay Of money.

NAT WON HIS WAGER.
He Proved He Could Make Money of
the Stage as Well as on 1t.


Sheridan Shook. one of the most
celebrated of the New York theater
managers of his generation. used to
tell with q characteristic chuckle Il
story Illustrating the quick wittedness.
the enterprise and the native shrewd-
ness Of Nat C. Goodwin.
1t was during Goodwin's engagement
in Hobbies" Of which he was the life
and center. Shook. A. NJ. Palmer, Ed
ward e. Rice and other theatrical mag
mates of that we'll remembered time
were sitting near the curb in front Of
the Union Square theater one after
noon talking shop. when Goodwin. who
had been to the funeral of IL fellow
Thespian. Joined the group. He was
sad and mad. Being asked the reason
why. he explained that the clergy
mans eulogy had made an Impression
on him and that one of the actors in
attendance upon the solemn services
had persisted in talking shop. The
deeper he went into details in his ex-
PLANTATION the more disguised he be-
came with player folk in general and
expressed wish to quit the profess
sion.
"Huh" snorted Shook. 'you couldn't
do anything but act"
Couldn't ~ (This with sure con-
ndence in his versatility,
mo-" Shook persisted. lyon couldn't
earn your salt in any other way"
After considerable discussion Of the
matter, with more or less heat on
Goodwin's side and exasperating i'm
perturbability on Shocks. the latter
bet Goodwin weeks salary that he
could not make the same amount In
the same time by any other means
than his regular appearances before
the footlights.
Goodwin eagerly took on the wager.
with the stipulation that it must be de.
cided in the week next following, and
he agreed that he would interrupt his
playing in the meantime.
Summoning bis Yankee ingenuity to
his aid. Goodwin hit upon an idea. He
placed an advertisement in a morning
newspaper Of large circulation:
WANTED.-A companion to accompany a
gentleman to Europe; salary no object:
good fellowship the only requisite; send
stamp for reply.
Before the end of the week Goodwin
had received $500 replies. Since the
postage in those days was 3 cents bis
revenue from the sale of the stamps
exceeded his salary as an actor and
thus he was able to claim forfeit from
Shook.-Detroit Free Press.
