Some of Norfolk's residents , bothered
'by stagnant pooh in their neighborhood ,
' threaten to have dirt hauled at their
own espouse and the holes filled. This
will throw the water'onto their neigh
bors and in self-protection they will bo
forced to do something , the final result
being that the water will be forced into
the streets , when the city could settle
the question by a little grading and the
placing of a few culverts. In the city's
failure to do something there certainly
can be no objection to residents pro-
* 130ting their own interests.

August 13 , 14 and 15 , will be public ex
hibitions oMhe'water ' cnre' ' and , , 6
number of other Bocolled"cruelties"
practiced by the American soldiers in
the Philippines. These "cruelties" for
public exhibition should receive the
careful attention of the anti-administra
tion ) fits BO that they will have something
to talk about at the next session of con-
greed. If cruelties , out of revenge or
to bring out some point of the war are
to be condemned , what should be done
with those who apply the torture and
those who submit to it for mere exhi
bition purposes ? It is to be hoped that
the warm friends of the rebellious
Filipinos will not neglect this oppor-
, tnnity to study the question and present
itito their constituents in a new light.
There is a law that is not enforced
and not observed to any great extent il
appearances throughout the country may
entitle- person to judge , and that IB
the laW requiring property owners to
cut the wpedB from their premises to the
center of the road adjoining. It is a
beneficial law [ if it was generally ob
served , for , besides improving the njv
pearauces of the road it would prevent
the weed seeds from ripening and spread
ing noxious growths to the lands adjoin
ing. Stretches of road have been
noticed on which there was enough
weed seed maturing to plant the entire
farms of the land owners adjoining.
Natural pride more than the law ,
causes some property owners to cut the
weeds in the road and it would be a
fine thing for the appearance of the
country If all property owners had the
v jjame pride. The job is not an arduous
one if eaoh land owner will do his just
hare and it would make a fine showing
over the country.
Some of those interviewed on the
drainage question' large that there is no
money on hand with which to prosecute
the workv There is but one way to
obviate this situation and that is by
voting bonds in a sufficient amount to
Jtxudle it effectually and permanently.
This would mean a saving of money in
the future to the city as well as the tax
payers and it is a question that may as
wellbo decided now as at any time.
It must bo nettled ; us one of the inter
viewers sqggestB , . before Norfolk will be
able to pass beyond "tho village stage. "
Then in the future the street work
should be handled in a systematic man
ner that will maintain and better street
and drainage conditions. Since spring
opened there has been a large amount
expended on the streets with but little
effect and the situation this year is but
a repetition of that of past years. In the
future it should be so systematized that
when the summer's work is done there
will bo something to- show for it ,
and it may bo taken up at the opening
of another season where it was left oil
before. Gutting weeds , filling innp <
preaches to crossings and putting in new
idowalks and crossings , while impor
tant , do not constitute the whole of
street work and should be but a factor
in attaining a certain result with a view
of good streets and drainage , The man
directing the work should bo efficient
and capable of getting the most possibl o
done for the money expended. The job
of working on the streets should be
placed in the hands of workers and
taken off the list of "snaps" for hangers-
on or particular friends of the adminis
tration.
THE OLD TIME UtKBY.
And How It Differ * From the Meet of
Theio Iltmliinu Dayi.
It is Btrnngo , indeed , to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rac
ing world In the year of the first Derby
nnd contrast them with the new meth
ods. In 1780 there < wns the Journey
down to the little Surrey town , and a
coachuinn thought himself lucky if he
could force his way from Westminster
: o Epsom in twelve or fourteen hours
"without dislodging a wheel en route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all , for tttbse were
days when tradesmen thought , like
John Qllpln , an outing once in two
years an much as they could afford.
In those days , too , a visit to Epsom
meant making a week of it Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by tfiose
who were not fortunate enough to be
Invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. Racing began about 11
a. in. , and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire to the
town to dine , returning fa or to'witness
the conclusion of the sport.
Nowadays the man of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to nnd fro
by roil. He gets his Derby , as It were ,
while he waits. It Is quite possible for
him to partake of nu early luncheon In
Pull Mall , witness the great race with
out acquiring n wrinkle in his collar or
disturbing the nap of his box hat nnd

o'clock ten and tbe special editions of
the evening papers. "The Classic Eng

When offering food and drink to the
invalid , one should avoid things very
sweet and very sour , as they are often
very hurtful to weak stomachs. Mont
Blck people can take milk , but in many
cases it is not well to give It raw.
Baked milk IB good and may be taken
fearlessly into the most del'.cate stem
ach. To prepare this properly jlut two
quarts of fresh sweet milk in n jar
covered with white writing paper ,
tightly tied down , and bake it in nn
oven moderately hot until thick as
cream , which will take about eight or
ten hours. A less quantity will not re

The Folk * Who raid For the Dli-
conrae Got What They Wanted.
Many Maine people who live in a
certain part of Cumberland county will
.well remember one Abncr BO he was
always called In his town. Abner was
the wit of the village , and ho was
commonly selected to take charge of
funerals because ho was about the
only man in town who had time hangIng -
Ing on his hands. A citizen died , a man
who never amounted to njuch , who
was never positively wicked , because
that would have required more'of tin
effort than he was willing to make.
He was , however , far enough from be
ing n good citizen , nnd Aimer knew It
as well as anybody else.
Abncr was requested to.nslr n certain
minister to conduct the service , and he
hitched up his old horse and drove to
his bouse. , . The minister said he would
attend and then trl6d to get n little In
formation concerning the late lament
'
ed.
"What sort of a man was he ? " he
naked. ,
"Well , about the same as no sort of *
n man at all , " replied Abncr frankly.
"I suppose his loss , wlll , be deeply
felt in the community1 said the min
ister.
"They're all bearing up well under
it , " said Abncr slowly.
"Was he a Christian ? " asked the
minister.
* "If he'd been accused of It , the ver
dict would Imvc been not guilty 'and
the Jury , wouldn't have left their seats , "
replied Abner cheerfully.
"Did he attend church ? " asked the
minister a bit anxiously.
"I never heard of his doing it , " said
Abner.
"How did ho die ? " continued the
minister.
"Just the same as he lived , sort of
naturally , " said Abncr.
- . "I don't sec how I'm to preach much
of n sermon under such circumstances , "
said the minister.
"The neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much of n sermon ,
and so they sent me over to see you. "
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and
n five dollar bill , nnd after the funeral
the satisfied Abner said , "Well , we got
Just what we wanted , b'gosh. " Lewiston -

POULTRY POINTERS.
Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed of fowls.
When the chickens are growing fast ,
it is a good plan to mix a little bone-
meal in their soft feed.
Smearing whole wheat with kerosene
or turpentine and' feeding it to the
chickens is a good remedy for gapes.
Adding some carbolic acid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re
sults from the whitewashing of the
poultry house.
While it is at no time .advisable to
keep food of any kind before the fowls
all the time , it will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want.
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers. They will always divide into
flocks of small size and will select dif
ferent feeding grounds , always pro
vided they have the opportunity.
A growing chicken , like n growing
animal , requires plenty of good , whole-
Eome food supplied liberally and often
In order to enable them to grow and
mature rapidly and to develop proper
