Even firemen can get too much water
on some occasions, and such an occas

the combined storm forces of old
Aquarius seemed to center their forces
over our little village, as if destined to
turn on more wnter than the members
of Langstaff Hose company, No. 1,
could manage . successfully with a
concert on their hands. But fortu
nately for the boys the majority of the
tickets were sold previous to the even
ing of the concert, and the rain ceased
to fall at about (! o'clock, which gave
the town people a chance to go. In a
short time the specious rooms of the
Methodist Episcopal church were com
fortably filled, but of course the out-of-town
people did not venture out on
such a nlfht, which made a difference
of about $25 to the receipts of the
evening, which was about $03 net. The
programme was also somewhat crip
pled, for some of the people that were
to participate were, ill and could not
attend, and others had to be substi
tuted for their numbers on the pro
gramme. Nevertheless the concert was
very good throughout; In fact it was so
good that we have no special mention
to make, but will say that our repu
tation for home talent was fully main
tained. The programme was the most
elaborate of any ever used In this town,
the advertising alone on It amounting

NEW FANGLED PLUMBING.
Tho Latest Advances in Household
Situiturv Mugliiuoilng -- Kvposed
Pipes Mvuryuiioro the ltulo--Nou'
Forms of Hot W'utor Supply Bowls
and Bathtub.
From tho New York Tribune.
With the exception of architectural
ironwork there have been few greater
advances In any department of building
and construction in tho last ten years
than in sanitary plumbing. Every
twelvemonth since tho middle of the
eighties hns seen some notable Improve
ment nnd invention, until today the
science has become completely revolu
tionised. AVhnt Is more, there are no
Indications of any pause In tho devis
ing of new appliances and new systems.
Fortunately for the people of this coun
try nnd America altogether surpasses
Europe in her plumbing methods, easily
leading the world many of the ablest
men of bruins and capital here are at
the work. What bus already been ac
complished in the short space of ten
years, or perhaps a trltle more, has not
only beautllled houses and lurge build
ings in a surprising way, but reduced
almost to a minimum the chances of
communicating disease thtough pipes
and fixtures.
In the plumbing of the old style, when
the laying of pipes thtough a building
was merely a trade, not the science It
has since become, the traps and wastes
were always likely to be the resting
place of disease germs, while In the
cupboards, with which every particle
of plumbing that was not hidden by
floors und walls was surrounded, bac
teria were certain to lurk. Now pipes
and other appliances are exposed to
light unci air, not screened from sight
by boards and planks. They are so ar
ranged that not only can they be seen,
but easily cleaned and polished each
day, and readily taken, apart In case of
leak or stoppage.
So far has this modern tendency of
exposing the plumbing gone that tho
plan, quite popular three or four years
ago, of running up the pipes from
floor to celling In a recess or "chase"
and setting boards over it in the form
of a panel to match the woodwork of
the room, has been discarded, and In
the finest mansions built these last two
yearr, every vestige of the plumbing
shows In shining nickel, gilded or bronz
ed pipes.
TURNED INSIDE OUT.
AA'hlle "exposed plumbing" is one of
the features of the new science, It is
by no menus all that Is new. The entire
sstem of general house drainage has.
In fact, been turned literally Inside out
by the recent Innovations. The main
line of pipe supports Itself, Independent
of the beams, walls and ceilings of the
house, and thus cannot bo alfeeted by
any settling of the lloors or the various
displacements to which every building
Is liable. In the time of the old meth
ods pipes were frequently bent In this
way, and the entire plumbing of a
dwelling disturbed. This new construc
tion Is ns little concerned with the rest
of the building as, to use a well-known
example, the walls of a modern olllce
building are with Its steel frame. Oth
er improvements In general drainage
are the perfection of the vent system
and the substitution of wrought iron
for the old cast iron pipes.
These new pipes of wrought Iron are
screw threaded and form a solid, con
tinuous piece of tubing, doing away
with the ancient rock Joints. The vul
nerable part of the plumbing of a house
fifteen years ago was where Its plpt s
joined, the Junctures being made by
oakum and lead. Thete was always the
danger of leaks and displacements. The
new method is, to say the least, far
safer.
So much for general drainage. An
interesting phase of the new plumb
ing Is Its water supply. The old-time
lead pipes have been to a great extent
superceded by pipes of wrought Iron,
galvanized or (porcelain lined, und
where exposed Mulshed either in brass
or the more valuable metals, such as
nickel, silver or goldv In the best
work the street pressure system Is not
considered sulllclent, and a tank on
the upper lloor Is added.
Hot water supply has been studied
carefully, with ihe result that the old
Idea of a single boiler has been dis
carded, and now houses are
lltted out with the twin boiler
or the double system. The
former Is In use In modern houses
of tho type of the A'nnderbllt, Hunting
ton nnd A'erkes mansions of this city
and the west. In the best designed ap
paratus of this class there is a separate
pipe running from the boiler to each
licit water faucet, each pipe fitted out
with a stopcock near its beginning,
that In ense of any trouble that pipe
may be shut off and bote water con
tinue to be supplied to the rest of the
'house. The double boiler Is placed by
the side of the kitchen range in the
usual manner, but is a boiler within a
boiler, the outer cylinder supplying the
two lower lloors, the Inner those above,
or vice versa. The twin boiler is simp
ly two boilers standing side by side.
DECORATIVE FEATURES.
AVash basins and closets, baths and
tubs have not only shared In the gen
eral advunce from a scientific point of
view, but have been made highly dec
orative with rare marbles and costly
metals. The modern bathroom has
hardly a trace of wood In it. Closets
are now built largely of porcelain, und
during'tho last ten years the siphon Jet
has leplaced, In all fine work, the for
mer wash-out system. The greatest
ingenuity along these lines, however,
has been expended on the water
supply und the wastes of bathtubs
and basins. The "hell supply" for
tubs Is the most Improved and
niiccnpsful device of them all. It Is so
culled because It is faucetless, und the
water springs out hot, cold or tempered,
as fancy may dictate, from behind a
piece of burnished metal, silver or nick
el plated, generally in the shape of the
top of a hell. This "bell" Is set well
down in the tub, and the How of the
water is noiseless, as the circular bit of
metal Is soon coverel. AVash basins are
seldom supplied with these, but the
more modern ones have nearly all a sin
gle orlllce jUFt at the edge of the bowl,
out of which water or any desired tem
perature may (low. In the place of over

The old "standing waste" has long
gone out of date, and In Its place have
tome several others. The one most In
use today Is so devised that there Is no
possible lodgment for dlseuse germs, A
handle turned ut the back or the busln,
by a mechanism of many Utile rods,
pushes tip a thin, circular metal plate
in the basin's bottom and lets the water
How quickly out. Basins, by the way,
are much more elliptical than they
were, and not quite so deep, though of
greater capacity.
If he pleases, the millionaire may
readily spend J.'.OOO on a bathroom, from
$:00 to $:.00 of which will go for the tub.
The dd copper bathtub, tinned und
burnished, Is put In now only In the
cheapest class of work. Tubs are mad"
nowadays of solid porcelain, steel clad
(that Is, of a shell of two sheets of
steel, with a sheet of asbestos In be
tween, porcelain lined with Iron.) A
few have even been made of aluminum.
The tubs are broader and shallower
than they used to be, und are occasion
ally sunk to the level of the bathroom
lloor The prevailing styles are Roman,
straight at both ends and with its waste
pipe in the centre, and the French,
with a slight slant and its waste plp
at one end. Klchen tuba are no longer
made of wood, but of soap-stone or ce
ment. It Is easy to spnd several hundred
dollars on a single wash basin. The fit
tings were never so line as now. Onyx
is largely used, and the choicer marbles
as well. The metal woik Is sliver, nick
