LITERARY NOTES.
THE WATER WORKS PROBLEM.
r"M!K town Council has practically decided
to accept propositions for the erection of
water works. The borough can not bind itself
for the payment of the plant, so water works
builders are asked to make a proposition, to put
inaplant, namethe number of plugs which hall !e
IX or "JO, and the annual rental from the borough
for the use of water in case of fire, "tate the rate
to private consumers and in addition to that the
council desires to know the price the water com
pany is willing to accept for the water plant m
ten years.
It may be difficult, if not impossible, to give
exact figures on the cost of a plant and hence it
is not an easy matter to make a proposition on a
business basis without a survey. This survey
should lx made at the direction of the borough,
with full and complete specifications. This
would place the matter in shajn; for business on
a business basis. A survey would have to be
made by the water company that gets the con
tract at any rate. The lorough could assume
the expense of the survey temporarily and make
it a part of the successful bidder to jay the ex
pense of the survey, which they would be com
pelled to do, if the borough does not do it in advance.
Another idea advanced on the manner of get
ting water works is that the borough guarantee
investors a certain per cent, say five or six, and
the borough assume control of the plant, collect
all the revenues and control its affairs in general.
This idea is put forward with a view of reducing
the price at which the lorough can buy the
plant whenever it feels able to bond itself for

and attractive article which every woman intei

"I saw an unusually attractive room of a girl for the Post. This paper leaves no stone bo
last summer. The rug she had made herself turned that will assist the progress of any toil)
trom strips 01 blue and white cotton, knitting
them, like yarn, on large wooden needles. The
window-curtains had been a pair of rathei coarst
but snow-white linen sheets old homespun lin
en. These cut in two she had hemstitched all
around, to make two curtains for each window.
Then she had embroidered them in dull blue and
white, just a sprig here and there inside the hems.
The bedcover was all white. It had been made
from a wide piece of some thick, cotton material,
and was edged with an embroidered cambric
ruffle. The covers for bureau and wash-stand
were made in the same way, of the same material.
The little bookcase in this room had a brilliant
curtain which fairly shone and flashed with color.
Its owner had Ixniglit a remnant of satin, and
loaded it with embroidery in most fanciful pat
terns and colors. I did not wonder at the pride
with which its young mistress showed this room.
"When our girls begin to appreciate woman's
handiwork at its true value they will see the
worth lessness of much of thegimcrack furniture
which lumbers many houses. The pine boxes
with veneered fronts which pass for wardrobes
and bureaus; the tawdry, unfinished, assertive,
weak-kneed tables and chairs, the 'overstuffed,'
fat-cushioned sofas with colorings like unto an
Indian's blanket, and all the endless bric-a-brac
and cheap impedimenta of the day, will not bear
the examination of intelligent, instructed eyes.
The girl who works, under artistic training, with
her own hands at household stuffs will demand
tables and chairs of good material, well planned
and well made, comfortable, and standing square
on their four legs, as respectable tables and
chairs should stand."

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that t Ik re is at least
one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its "tatces
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hail's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, there by destroying the
foundation of the disiase, and giv
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one

it fails to cure. Send for list of testi
