A Reckless Waste of “'atcr.

South Norwalk has facilities for storing
an adequate supply of water for all rea-
sonable consumption, but not enough for
the reckless waste that is going on at
Mt. Since the dry weather set in
the drain upon the reservoirs has been so
enormous that the pressure has been re-
ducod nearly twenty pounds, and it is a
hw estimate to place the present waste
at nearly two million gallons 3 day.
The‘wastr, consumption and absorbtion
prohably amounts to five million gallons
nday. The waste is chiefly through yard
hydrants, hundreds of which are run con-
shntly, notwithstanding the restriction

igjhtflree hours night and morning.

Thocommissioners say they are help,
Ins to prevent this waste through the
utter disregard by consumers of the rules
of the water department, and they know
ofbut one remedy, and that is to motor
water to all consumers. Owners of yard
hydrants should be more reasonable, to
any .nothicg of more honest. To use
Inter as it is being done now by those to
whom it is not measured is wrong in
principle and most. decidedly unjust to a
largo class who have to pay for .every
gallon they use, and unless restrictions
are placed on the first class the latter
have excellent grounds for refusing to
pay their bills.

That one consumer should expect for
the nominal sum of three dollars a car
no to keep one, and in many cases two
shame of water running on their lawns
and gardens all the timefiis decidedly
mele, and the commissmners
ma cut of]r the supply from such
consumers for such purpose, or measure
Ito water they use.

‘ The commissioners, as a preliminary
stop. might issue an order restri< ting the
aloof yard hydrants to the prescribed
time, and to see that this' is observed, ap
point an agent to make daily tours of
the city. If this is not sufficient, more
heroic measures should be adopted at
once.

It would be no more dishonest for our
manufacturers and others who have the
water they use measured to them, to
disconnect the meters and defraud the
_ than it is for those who pay for the

. yordhydrant for its usoa limited time,

I . douse the water in the present manner.

', Furthermore, there is imminent risk
" of ‘11 shorthge of water if the present
waste continues. There is a limit even
to the capacity of South Norwalk’s
watersupply, and it is quite likely to be
Wily reached unless the present out-
- rumour waste is stopped.

Following is the rule relative to hy-
M and fountains, and for thegeneral

To ltcm'lo Immigration.
(Philadelphia Inquirer.)

flow is this restricted immigration to
come? By passingand enforcing a gen-
eral law that would be simplicity in it-
self. Allow no immigrant to land
whether he be a laborer or otherwise,
who cannot read and write and who is
not able to pay a bead tax of ”at least
6100. Increase the amount if desirable.
That will effectually eliminate the igno.
rent, the Vicious, the pauper. The
recent strikes were fermented by ig-
norant foreigners to a large extent.
Point to a riot, and there you find unin-
telligent men shooting and burning. If

__ it is proposed to condone and encourage
‘ such things, keep the gates open and

welcome the cheap laborer. If continu-
ous peace and prosperity are desired,
put up the bars. There is no middle
course. We have all the immigration
We have too much of it.
Keep out the ignorant and vicious and
give the country a chance to recover
from the inroads of the hordes already
here.

 

 

 

“Midsummer Madness."
(New York Tribune.)

The assumption that railways must be
purchased by the government because a
sympathetu: strike has extended to
many of them and temporarily paralyzed
the business of the country is mid-sum-
mer madness. The government would
be weaker, not stronger, if the railways
were under its control and management.
The railway workers would form an
immense government army which would
be a standing force in political elections,
If every railway in the country were
owned by the government there would
be an organized force of public
employees upon which political
parties would be absolutely de-
pendent, and which would be constant-
ly tempted to affiliate with trade unions
and the working classes. This is thslast
country in the world where that form of
state socialism can be safely introduced.

 

Fenders for Trolley Cars.
(Newark N. J ., Advertisn.)

On the very day that the grand jury
made its presentment to Judge Depue re-
lating to accidents and deaths on the
trolley hues, two little boys Were killed
by the Traction Company's care. These
deaths occurring in a single day give
point and emphasis to the recommenda-
tion of the grand jury that "the board of
works pass an ordinance compelling the
local companies to place at the ends of
their cars the most unproved appliances
at present known to guard agamst acci-
dents and for the prcsvrvatiun of Me"
There are in use today many fenders
which have been succr‘ssl‘ul in protecting
victims from the advancing wheels, and
until a perfect fender is devised, the rail-
way companies should be compelled to
make use of the best available protector.

Hints on Iluylng "OIOPI.

Don't buy a horse of a man who prides
himself on being a horse jockey; he will
cheat you every time. eitlwr by not tel-
ling you the whole truth (It by allowing
you to believe what is not true about
the horse. A horseman may be scrupul-
ously honest and reliable in everything
else. but he is tricky in a horse trade. In
buying a horse, do not be smart and put
your judgment against the honor and
integrity of the man who is selling the
horse, or he will allow you to "cut your
eye teeth."

Never buy a horse in harness; unhitch
him and take everything of! but his hal-

knees or shoulders, or has other ailments
you may be able to discover them. Tum

him for a few minutes to see his move.
ments. The horse may be blind and his
eyes apparently all right; one eye may be
sound and the other one not. Take the
horse by the head and back him;ifhe
drags his toes you may depend upon it
his shoulders are unsound. Stand be-
side the horse and notice if his knees are
sprung forward; they should be in
a straight line. Notice if the
horse stands firmly and squarely on
every foot and does not change his
weight from one foot to the other, which
you may know indicates soreness some‘
where. To know if a horse's wind is
good, give him a run of ten minutes, and
than watch the result. If a horse stands
with his feet wide apart or straddles his
feet in moving. especially while pulling,
there isafault in the lolns or kidneys.
Examine the hoofs carefully with the
hand. The foot should be cool and all
alike. The frog should be as near like
India rubber as possible, not dry and
brittle. If the ears are continually
thrown back and eyes unkindly, the eyes
wide apart and the face dished,
the chanches are the horse is
very smart and very mean. If
the horse has a thin, narrow face,
with eyes close together, the horse isa
natural-born fool, suspicious, ready to
scmtodssth at nothing and to do all
sorts of fool things. You don't want
sucha horse vfor anything. Watch out

Afternoon Picnics.

An all-day picnic is a formidable of-
fair, especially if children are taken on
the excursion. ltmenus a great deal of
preparation the day before-baskets
packed with dantics, arrangements made
for amusements when the first pleasure
of arrival at the picnic ground has wan-
ed; and last, though not least, it renders
imperative a very early start in the
morning. This means that breakfast
must be sooner than usual, that the fem
ily must rise with the dawn, that the ac-
customed order must be more or less dis‘
arranged and set aside.

Therefore few people who love their
case have the courage to go on all-day
picnics. Fishermen, of course, do not
mind tumbling out of bed and tramplng
of! in the chill gray down, or before it,
but we are not alluding to them, but
rather to house parties of gay and pleas-
ant friends, to families gathered under a
grandfather's roof, to mother and ba-
bies, who are the better for an outing if
it be not too fatiguing, and if the art of
making it wholly restful and refreshing
be known to those who have the thing in
charge.

On the shores of the great Peconic Bay
there are little hamlets, breezy and cool,
where people live simply and healthfub
ly, growing to hale old age, and children
thrive, and young men and maidens have
happy times in summer and in winter
too. Fashionable society knows and
does not despise this endof Long island,
but it is hardly fashionablesociety which
there delights in the afternoon picnic.

Such an entertainment is often an im-
promptu. Dinner is in the middle of the
day, so that the house-work may be over
during the morning, and the kitchen
range cool off in the afternoon. Tea is
generally. during the summer solstice. a
cold meal, with salads, pressed meats,
smoothly shavcn ham or tongue. cake,
fruit and iced tea, with a great glass
pitcher of yellow and creamy milk, very
unlike the fluid which city residents re-
ceive in thankfulness and pay for at
liberal prices per quart.

It is the easiest thing in the world,
these being the couditmns, for two or
three families at a half hour's house to
unite in an afternoon picnic, There are
always boats, and there are roomy and
comfortable conveyances drawn by
sleepy and slowly plodding horses, and
by land or by water picnic grounds are
accessible. It is only to take frotnohe
refrigerator the rdiblcs which had
been provided for the usual evening meal,
the cold tea in bottles packed around
with ice, the lemons and sugar safely de-
posited, the ginger wafers and crisp
crackers in tin boxes, the sandwiches cut
and rolled, and the glasses, plates and
napkins placed where they can readily
bedistributed; Japanese paper napkins.
and the little wooden platters which
come in from the creamery with butter
or cottage cheese. are very convenient,
as they can be crumpled up and broken
into bits and used to light the fire which
consumes the debris of the picnic party.

It should not be forgotten when 1111 sf-
ternoon picnic in thought of that a moon-
light evening is the most delightful for
the return home, that the late afternoon
between five and six o‘clock, is the best
hour to start, unless there are little chil-
dren in the party who mustgo home by
early bed-time. Never is the gleaming
lovelier or more bewitcbing than when
the sunset clouds, golden and opal, cur-
tain the fading sun. Never is the
after glow lingering low in the
wast more restful and dreamy than
when a group of familiar acquaintances
watch it beside the softly lapping waves
or in the shadows of the hills. Then the
story~teller of the party recounts some

The “Hut Wuvo."

The wrstcrn heat wave now covers the
country from the Upper Mississippi val-
Icy eastward to the Middle Atlantic and
New England coasts. Maximum tcm~
peraturcs from ill) to 06 degrees were reg-
istered at many points within this area,
yesterday, but the highest records were
made at Albany, Harrisburg and west of
the Alleghanics. The wave will slowly
travel to the eastward. Its severity will
increase in this section today, and to-
morrow is not likely to bring any decid-
edly cooler weather, though the proba-
bilities of thunder storms, dlmlnlshlng
the amount of oppressive vapor in the
air, will increase. Some relief from the
heat may, however, be looked for on
Bundawaew York Herald.
