The problem Is compllcntCll by the ra II ! II 1ncrcnse of Imowletlgo as to the sources and Ute dlotrlbutloa of dlsease-gormB.

Noverthe- Jess , the only sure saCety lies In the absoillto prohibition of ellschnrgo trom sewers Into nny lalms or streams with water connoctlons , however remote , to sources of water-sullply. It Is wiser to provent. pollullon limn to try t.q purity pollllted water by municipaL 11Itratlon plants. Proventlon Is better than cure , In the proverbial relative , mensuro or any ether , for prevention la sure , and purification Is not. There i9 another sldo of the question.

The estImated Investment In summer - mer amusement parlts In this country I will reach a tolnl of $100,000,000 this J yel.r , we are told by The Hallway and I Engineering Review. Says U1ls JlIlPor : I ' 'Tho tolnl number of parks is eotl- I mated at 2,000 , and U1ree-fourths of I that number are controlled by nd op- ' ernted for electric railway 11nos. This figure Cor the investment seems high , and the more so when It. Is lmown Utat. the many small resorts , 'gardens , ' 'groves , ' etc. , found In every locallly are not Included. It Is probable , how1 1 ever , that 010 figure may be accepted I as representative , though It. w111 correspond - spend moro nearly to the advertised cost of each specific resort rather tlum the actual cost , the two sums frequently - quently bolng qulto dlrterenl. At any rate the Investment. will reach an astonishing - tonishing total , and It. calls attention to an Interesting developmont.ln trans- porlntlon.

Dut. then Mrs. Stevenson - son , Miss Strain , Mrs. Hydor , Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Pettlngl11 are all the immo porson.

Mlsa Strain was a beauty , and Mrs. Stevenson Is a beauty , and she wonld have been beauty It she had become Mrs. Ryder , Mrs. Shaw or Mrs. Pet.- UngUl.

"Dossad the nanch. " She wns sent , when 17 : rears of age , to an oxclualvo school in New York , and two years later she returned to her fathor'o house "finished , " as far as education was concornod. She knew but few of the girls or the neighborhood - borhood , and her frlonds were chlof- ly among her faUlor's frlonds and buslnoss nssoclates whom she met. at. the hOWie. She presldod o'"er her ta- thor's ostabllllhment , lavlshOll her aI- lowan < : e on dross , and' ' "bossed the ranch , " n ahe expressed It. It happened that ono of her chle ! dellghhJ wns to ride with her father tn hJo l1d1t. runa.bout. while he visited the houses he wns building , and In this way she Impressed her Imago upon scores ot hearts In many parts f Brooklyn. Her fnUter , who , .tlll ro- rardcd her as "h&s baby , " nnd torgot thnt she had grown UII and become a beautiful young woman , was Iluzzled because so many of the young architects - tects nnd builders that he met. In a bunlnoos way came dropping Into his I house in the evenlng8 to talIt OTOr un. , Important matters of business with 111m , and then prompUy forgot wb ) ' the ) ' had come and turned Ul0 music at the plnno whllo Miss Strain plnyod. And among those that. came Were Noble T. Shaw , Henry 1. . Ryder and Myron 1. . Pettingill-all fnlr to good ookln& . and all young contractors "ho were gottlng oothold , anll who , roush their business dealings wlUt Denj. Strain , had met nnd fn1len In love with bls daughtor. It wasn't long betore eveu D01'1jamln IJtrat rel\llzod that the young men cUt _ co _ : to talk b\1sble6S , aad - - - . ho dl'Oppod out of sight or went Into lho Humry to smoke his pipe when they culled , Instead of discussing ma- lerlals , sllJclllcations ( and labor with them. During laut. summel' lIss Strain went to her father's summer home down Long Island , and It. was drulng her stay there that she receh"ed three proposals. Each of the young men ! wew of the Intentions of the others , and they were vnsUy jealous of each other , but. the girl shoW d no prefer- enco. , Her answer to the llroposals was I unique. She did , not. refuse or accept. any of them. She slmpl ) ' atatod that she admired and esteemed thom all , that. she loved no one , and that she Intended - tended to marry the one of them Utat built. the prettiest and best home for her. She stated that. on May I , 1906 , she would Inspect. the home ortered to' her by her lovers , and If satisfied wlUt the arrangements , the decorations , the general surroundings , and the architectural - tectural beauties of ono house above the others she would accept It-and Its owner. Got Dusy at Once. She wanted a home , and she stipulated - lated that the cost of the home , exclusive - clusive of the lot. and furnishings , should not. exceed $7,000 , and that the total cost should bo loss than $10,000 , and that not. moro Ulan half of the cost. llrlce should be secured by morl- gage. Dulldlng oporatlons In Drooldyn immediately - mediately boomed. Shaw purchased a lot. on Utica aveuue , near Eastern parltwny : Hyder bought land In Pros- poct. parlt south : and Pettingill , who owned 1lot. . near Dedford park. at. once broke ground. 'l'he three young urchltect.5 burned midnight. electric Hghts drawing the plans and specifications , creating Ideal homes , nnd each pushed the work on his house as rRllldly as possible. 'I'here was much figuring of costs , much planning for convenience , beauty - ty and utIlty to create a harmonious whole-for each hoped Utat the girl would fall In love with his house.I I Pettingill elected to build an eight I room brick and stano house , with a wide stone front porch lacing the lawn , and harmonizing with Ute quiet , IIhaded street. His entire Id a WIUJ I for comfort. and utility without waste. . of space. Ho devoted more time to the ldtchen Utan to anything else , and It was Ideal , with an Inserted Ice box , capable of being filled from the out.- I side , 'wlth excellent la\mdry facilities. I ' 1'he depth of his walls gave opporI I tunlty for cozy window seats In the bedrooms. As tor Ryder , he erecte a cottugy looldng house , halt of cement , with wide porches and man ) ' nooks and angles. It. was set. down among Ute trees and WIUJ surrounded by large grounds , and at. the rear was a tiny building for an automobile. It. had a , , vide open fireplace In Ule library.I I TIle llbrary , recoptlon hall , stairway. . and the dining room "ere done In' ' dark oal" the dining room having loaded windows , opening out. upon n trolllsod veranda overlooking the lawn.

His dining room and library nrrnngements were mueh like those of 0- Hyder ' _ , _ lIe - _ added _ _ a den tor hlm- , - : \ \ ! -sei.r self , and , with much forethought , set aside one of the large uptalrs ! : ! roomJ as a nursery. He built. a big Inclosed porch at the Iecond ! story rear , surrounded - rounded by u five foot. wall , wired In , as an outdoor bedroom for summer use , and ho put. the servants' rooms In tbe garret. Outsider Won Bride. The houses were finished and furnished - nished early In April , and Sha.w , Pet- tingill and Ryder awaited anxiously Cor the test. Each called on : MIss Strnln nnd arranged to drive her to what each hoped would be her new home. RYder was to call at. ten a. m. , Shaw at. two p. m. , and Pettingill at five p. m. t They called. They grew Impatient. They Clilled again. I It was not until the next day that they lenrned that 1\1IS8 Strain had gene to Now York early In the mornIng - Ing and married Clive Stevenson , a handsome young electrical engineer ' just out ot scientific school. Then they . were angry. Also Benj. Strain was angry. He wns so angry he told the young couple to shUt. for themselves when they sought his. blessing , nnd he ! was angrier when Stevenson took him at. his word and departed with his brIde. And he grow still angrier when , after waiting a weelt , he discovered . tbnt. his daughter and his son-In-law were keoplng' house In three ros In ma ush. I He sought thepI , I1slted them to forgive - i give him , and ortel'ed to buy anyone I of the three houses that Mrs. Stevenson - , son would select , but Stevenson told 1 him he could support his wlte. So the ) 'oung couple arc living In a : three room fiat , while the three beautltul new homes constructed specially - cially for honeymoons are vacant.
