^ Ily CHAUI.l
It has always seemed to nio that
Uncle Jarve's "water-draRon" was tho
most useful, practical and efficient
fire-fighter which I have ever seen,
especially for mills, factories, creameries
and so forth, where there is
water, steam or any other power. It
' could be used, howov >r, at farms,
stores or residences?at any place, indeed,
where a small power Is installed.
It was one of Unclo Jarve's odd
contrivances when he was at Grand
father Adams', lording it over my
brother "Foley" and myself. Ho first
rigged one at tho old paper-pulp
mill in tho woods, where we were
turning dowels and manufacturing
shovel-handles from ash.
Uncle Jarve had not been at the
mill for some time, but one afternoon
about the middle of August, when
our (earn came back from the railway
station, lo! there he sat beside the
driver; and he had in tho back of the
wagon two omntv oil-barrels, and a
lot of wire and other iron gear.
"Now look out," Poley said to me,
under Ills breath. "Ho <?n your guard,
or he will stick us for something or
other. Don't pay him another cent,
of money."
Uncle Jarve. however, appeared to
bo in one of his absorbed, thoughtful,
inventive moods. Ho said hardly
a word to us, but went walking about
and round the mill, whistling low to
himself all the roet. of tho aftornoon.
At lust be took supper wltli ua aud
stayed overnight, still without, saying
a word as to what, ho had como for or
why ho had brought the oil-barrels.
But the next, day ho got to work;
in fact, he had. a;j it. now appeared,
been making his preparations and
getting liis ironwork done for a week
or two.
Ho rolled one of tho heavy barrols
into tho mill, and during all the rest
of the forenoon ho was rigging a kind
of drum on (ho main shaft, of the
mill, for winding his coil of wire.
In the afternoon wo saw him winding
tho wire round tho outside of the
oil-barrel. He wound it very lightly
and made both onds fm:t :it fiir.1
chimes.
That was about all ho did that day;
but tho next day h brought in his
Iron gear, bored :i hole in each head
of tho barrel, and then passed :i rod
through .tho holes and through tln>
barrel, so thai, tho ends, which had
been cut for a crow threa 1. projectoil
about two iiiclii'.-i mitaidn > iwi>
head. j
Noxt. he put a circular iron plate
on each head, having a hole in the
centre for the end of ili? rod to conic
through: and then, applying a washer
and a nut, lie screw, d them tight
down on both heads. This, of course,
was to secure the barrel-heads against
internal pressure.
Mo had thus made his barrel iron- <
clad, so to speak, and very strong, i
It was water-tight and nearly, if not
wholly, air-tight.
After that he whistled and walked
round for a while, ami sang a song
or two in his rasping, unmusical
voice; but in the. afternoon ho became
silently busy again, attached a
crank to tlio spare end of the main :
shaft, so as to convert circular motion
to back word and forward motion, and
then connected to that a small but
strong pump, sot horizontally, with a
pipo from it down to tho water under
the mill.
"Now what do you supposo ho is tip
to?" Foley asked ine.
That was more than f could guess,
we went about our business and protended
to take 110 notice,
lrnclo Jarve whistled most of the
next day, but got. to work toward ;
night, set. his barrel on end at the!
wain m uiu nun, and secured it. in
place with a collar and braces. Jle
then connected his pump to the IniiiKholo
of tho barrel with a bit of iron
plpfi?and wont home.
After ho had gone, I'oley and I J
looked it all over, bus. could make
nothing on1, of it.
'! guess lio'a crazy- it but," Poloy
said.
lint tho next day Urn If? Jarve came
back, lie had walked all tho way up
to the mill; and ho brought, coiled
over lils head and shoulders, about
forty font of hoao, which he had
wound Willi wire. Tho hoao had h
nozzle on it at ono end, and Mt the |
other a valve and scrow connectlori.
Ho wan whittling happily f<> himself;
and he now proceoded to boro
a hole in the top head of tho barrol
and to connect, hi:? hom?. 11 aluo
scrowcd a llttlo nir-cork into tho top
head.
After that ho touted if. all l lion #at
and looked it ov?r, and walk?*l round
tho mill for as murh aa an hour. By
that tlmo it was; noon, and hr? onmo in
to dinner with tho nut of us. Just an
wo woro getting up from tho table,
I'oley said, "Undo larvo, I'd lik to
know what you aro making out there
?if you know yourself."
Undo .farvo regarded him a moment
thoughtfully.
"Chuck," KTiiil ho, "I concluded
you'd ho asking that question jtiKt.

"Oh, yes, yes, wo know that you'vo

"Hut some of us can oarn a living
which Is more than you over did."
"A living!" qUOth Undo Inrvr ,
contemptuously. "Why, Chuck, any

Poley burst out with something or
other in reply, but Undo Jarvo out
it short. "Oh, drop that," said ho,
"and como along out to the mill; I
want to show you tho finest thing
you over saw."
We went out with him, and our
three hired men. who were also very
curious, followed us.
Uncle Jarvo looked perfectly happy.
"Now, Chuck," said he, "I've given
you a dead-sure thing in tho way of
protecting your mill from lire. It's
fully equal to a steam fire-eugiue;
and it is so inexpensive and cheap
than anybody can have one."
We smelled a rat, so to speak, and
said nothing.
"You see that oil-barrel," Uncle i
Jarvo continued. "That cost one dollar.

on tho heads and that, rod and tho
wire on tho barrel. Well, they oost
a dollar and eighty-five cents. You
see that little force-pump, too; that
was five dollars fifty. The hose, nozzle.
wire and pet-cock were six aevunty-five;
and those hits of old iron
piping cost, sixty cents more. Fifteen
dollars and seventy cents, all told.
That's all it actually cost; but 1 expect
to get. twenty-five dollars for
tho rip;, as it stands. The nine thirty
over tho cost is my profit for tho
patent."
Uncle Jarve looked at. us as if expecting
appreciation or applause. But
wo said nothing.
"Lot mo show you," ho went on.

"Twenty-one," said I, for I was

now, and wax d enthusiastic. He
L-hargcd tho pump with a quart or so
of water, and then pumped the barrel
half-full. "That is the way you always
want to keep it, ready for lire,"
aaid he. "Now yell Fire:' and time

This time Undo Jarve had the ga/e
hoisted, the pump in motion, and the
nozzle in bis hands, with n smart
stream of water flying from it across
tho mill in eighteen seconds!
As the pump went on, rapidly condensing
the air and water in tlue barrel,

where I stood behind a tree. "He's

But suddenly Undo Jarve stopped.
"All rl?ht!" ho cried to uu. "Tho

We ventured back, all pretty angry,
especially Foley. Undo Jarvo hud
shut the gate, stopped tho power,
and was coiling up tho hose.
"Sorry, Chucks, that I had to wot
you down!" ho remarked. "But I
couldn't seem to beat this thing Into
your thick heads any other way. You
understand It now.
"Besides," said Undo Jarve, throwing
back bis head and tilting up that
long nose of his, "I had to let off

after doing ample justice to the fare,

Poley snorted relief.

THE EDITOR'S MISTAKE.
Generally Deoimxl an I novo unable
OuU-ago For Newspaper to Err.
It is held to he an inexcusable outrage
for a newspaper editor to make
tho slightest mistake in n statement
3f any sort, while professional persons,
upon whoso certainty of knowledge
and on whose statement in regard
thereto, lifo or death and the
most important interests depend, j
make the most serious errors without. !
incurring tho slightest criticism, !
much less blame.
Take the judgo on tho bench,
whoso decisions aro sot aside or annulled
by higher courts almost every
lay, and tho judge whose judgment is
50 reversed does not. suffer in tho
n asi, in puuuc una professional estimation.
In the same way, tho physician who
makes a wrong diagnosis of his patient's
disease, administers treatment
lhat results in death instead of a !
lire, loses none of the confidence of ,
his patrons in his skill, and he may
kill any number of persons secundum
irtom without incurring tho slightest
responsibility.
These are curious facts, but they !
are facts, and they aro mentioned,
not by way of excusing editorial mis- ,
Lakes, for there is no excuse for them. I
It. is because every individual firmly j
believes that he could conduct news- ;

PROPOSED NEW CALENDAR.
Divides tho Year Into Thirteen
Months, Each Having 28 Days.
We have recelvod from iSan Francisco,
a copy of a proposed oalondar
whoso aim la to avoid tho acknowledged
drawbacks of the Gregorian calendar
substituting one that Is bet
ter suited to the requirements of our
every-day life. Although the Gregorian
calendar dates from the year 1682,
long before that many and various improvements
bad been suggosted for
conveniently dividing the 365 days of
tho year into weeks and months. Our
correspondents ask: "Are we not
again far enough advanced beyond
the times of 1582 to adopt certain other
changes?" And they offer a calendar
which divides the flfty-two weeks
of the iy>ear into 1" months, each having
exactly tweut>*-elght days. The
ftr?rt of January and tho first of every
one of the twelve succeeding months
fall on a Sunday, and the 28t.h or last
day of each month therefore, falls on a
Saturday. The obvious advantage of
this arrangement Is that, sinco each
day of the week must bo ono of four
numb or s out of the 28th (Sunday for
arnjr month of the year being either tho
1st, 8th, 15th, or 22d; Tuesday either
tho 3d, 10th, 17th, or 24th, etc.) Lf ono
knows the day of the "week H is poimlMo
to And the day of tho month quickly
and without reference to a calon
dar.
The "additional month necessary under
thle system is namod by its spon ore
"Vincent"; and it is placed in
the calendar between June and July.
Thirteen months of twenty-eight
days, however, give a total of only 364
days for the year, and to ao^mmodato
the odd day it is proposed that be|
tween 8?turda>, the last day of De|
cenVbrr, and Sunday, the first day of
January, there should be a day to bo
| known as "Anno Day." It is not rocOffvized
<a? a calendar day, and, be
youd lta name, has no other distinction
to separate 1t from tho Vast d?.y
at ?ecembcr. Any labor done on
Anno Day -would have to bo a matter
of special contract or agreement. No
tot?r?iit or rental will aocrue upon
that day, and for all such purposes it
would be conslderod a. part of Deo.
28. Ijoap year la provided for by an
?xtra day between Saturday, Vincent
14, and Sunday. Vincent 15. Thla
<would be known as "Mid-Anno Day,"
and it would b? treated In all re peotR
similarly to Anno Day.
Although there can be no question
of the simplicity and convenience of
tho propoBed calendar, in respect to
any pro?poct of its immediate and
world-wide adaption wo fear it must
fc? classed with Khofe two other great
desirables, the "metric system" and '
the "longer daylight day." Wo aro :
not. moro firmly convinced of tho ad- J
rentage of this und those, proposi- !
Hods for simplifying and rendering
easier and more plea-ant the round
of dally life and its duties than wo
are that, to bring about theso suggeeted
improvements will take many t
years of arduous aud persistent agitation.?-Scientific

WARN CHILDREN OF "
PERILS IN STREETS.
Egorton L. Wlnthrop, Jr., Urges
All School Principals to Explain
Dangers to Pupils.
As a result of a letter sent to the
Hoard of Education by Edw. S. Cornell,
secretary of the National Highways
Protective Society, Egerton L?.
Wlnthrop, Jr., president of the Board
of Education, yesterday nant tn tho
principals of all public schools in tho
various boroughs a letter which urges
principals to warnchildren about dengers
in the street, especially from automobiles.
Tho letter follows:
"In accordance with a letter received
from the National Highways
Protective Society, l desire you to
bring to the attention of all pupils in
your school the Importance of their
exorcising great caro when on tho
streets, so as to avoid the danger of
urnnb run down oy automobiles, etc.
"It is a common practice for children
to attach themselves to moving
vehicles, wagons and carts, and then
jump off suddenly, thereby incurring
serious risks. They also frequently
dart out from behind piles of brick,
lumber, etc., on the streets and highways,
and not infrequently try to s^e
At

over by a motor vehicle. Many drivers
of automobiles run their machines
in a most reckless manner, and the
danger to the people of the strectB,
especially lo children, is very great.

to your pupils cannot fail to have a
good effect in reducing the number of

SIN* OF AN II>I,1C LIFE.

A striking appeal to rich young
men not to allow their wealth to
tempt them Into habits of loafing and

Edward Tufnell in his
will, disposing of estate valued at
?3 43,62 4 gross and not personality
?103,199.
Colonel Tufnell, who had residences
in Eaton Square, at The Grove,
Wimblodon Park, and Crowhurst
Park. Sussex, was Unionist M. P. for
c* # ^ A '
uuiiiiicnni. k)USSl'.\ IIOI11 1JIUU tO lUOli,
and was formerly a member of the
King's Bodyguard.
The appeal against loafing is made
in the following remarkable clause in
bin v 111:
"1 desire to bring homo to the
minds of my sons, and of each and
every young man who may hereafter
take benefit in my property under this
my will, how strongly T hold to tho
view that every man should, during
some substantial portion of his life,
and certainly during his early manhood,
have some definite occupation,
and lead a useful life, and should not
suffer wealth or any accession of
wealth or other temptation to tempt,
him into Idleness, and a mere loafing
and useless existence.
"I might have so framed this my
will as to have made idleness nnoi*nt??
to forfeit the interests hereby con- |
furred on my sons or other young 1
men in my property, but I foresee |
that such a provision might, in certain
cases, work hardships, and I prefer
to hope and to trust, as I do, that
no son of mine and no other young
man who may under this my will succeed
to the enjoyment of any property
of mine, will so disregard my views
herein expressed as to lead the life
I so strongly deprecate."

a strenuous life. He saw active serviro

Arkansas Diamonds.
It. Ik reported that thin year, up to
July 1, seven hundred diamonds have
been found in Arkansas. Three cut
stones were found to be brilliant, and
were valued at $fi() to $17f? a carat.
A parcel of rough unsortod stones
from the mine will bo easily worth
$10 a carat. Cheap mining in Ar- I
kansas is possible, as water and timber
arc abundant nearby, and coal
should bo obtained at reasonable
ruios. Homn diamonds are reported
to hnvo been found also in a nowly
discovered perldotlto area about two

diamond was found on August I,

Becker, of 134 Van Buren St., a
well-known wholesale dry goods
dealer, states as follows:
"I have had catarrh for more

everything on earth and spent
thousand* of dollars for other
medicines and with physicians,
without getting an" lasting relief,
and can say tc ^you that I
have found Peruna tho only remedy
that has cured me permanently.
"Peruna has also cured my
wife of catarrh. She always keeps
it in the house for an attack of
cold, which it invariably cures in
a very short time."
