Record of a Good Work. To prevent suffering among dumb ani- mals has been the sole object of the so- ciety in energetically pushing the erection of these fountains. The good work began as far back as 1884, when the society, then known as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, put up two fountains. The society in 1885, in order to arouse in- terest In this feature of its work, offered to erect a drinking fountain whenever a donation of $25 should be mace for that Gor ba escny pitol and G streets te Macon (Ga.)

In response to the announcement a number of charitable people made dona- tions and others promised to do so. During that year fountains were erected at the cor- ners of ith and © streets northwest, North Capitol and P streets northwest, 20th and M streets hwest, 1th and T streets norch- west, [ith street and New Vork avent northwest and 2d and E streets southwest. A costly fountain, admirably constructed for the wants of both man and beast, was erected in ISS at the corner of 1th and D streets, and donated to the society by | Mr. Stilson Hutchins, In memory of Mrs. rita B. Hutchins, one of the younders the society, and its secretary for several ears. The entire control of this fountain recently turned ever to the Humane IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAIR USE ONLY THE > IMPERIAL BAIR uy REGENERATOR to make GRAY BAIR fety. t the close of the year thera were in | operation seventeen other drinking foun- | tains, belonging to the city, in good condi- tion, making a total of twenty-six, be- | sides ten in the District outside the city limits. At fhat time need was felt for about twenty more. ‘rhe Approved Design. In 1886 four iron fountains and one stone fountain were erected, and there were or- Sola fn Wasbinzton by ED. Jith sts. Marlb Je6,13,20,27. ders given for twelve more, but it was found impossible to put them up, in con- sequence of an order of the Engineer Com- missioner of the District forbidding the erection of the kind of fountains that had been used prior to that time, Permission, however, was secured to erect fountains of a different pattern, and the sociziy at once proceeded to secure the amended design. During thg year 1887 a fountain was Coggswell Fountain. erected at the corner of 15th and U stre for which the society received a donation from the Herdic Phaeton Company, and a large number of denations were also made by individuals. Arrangements were also berfected for placing fountains at 19th Street and Penssylvania avenue, and at the corner of New Hampshire avenue and G street. A trough for watering sheep and other cattle was built on Boundary near 18th street. At the close of the year there werc on hand applications for the ereciion of eighteen fountains, and at the time the society was unable to comply with them, owing to the great expense attached there- to, and the limited means at its command. There was a lull in the work until 181, when a new design of fountain was adop ed, the work of Superintendent Hayden of the water department of the District gov- ernment. This was approved by the wa- ter department May 23, 1891. It is an ob- long-shaped metal bowl, forty eight inches in length, eighteen inches wide and twelve Inches in depth. On the upper edges are cast the wo “Human?

Only for Animals. It 1s !mposs!ble for sediment to collect on top of the water, cnd the fountains are very easily cleaned. Each costs the society $22, and trey are placed in position an looked after by the District. A special force of mcn is employed to scrub out the fountains at stated intervals. The reasons for adopti the low fountain are that a horse naturally lowers its head in drinic- ing, and the surface beit.g but a foot from the pavement, dogs and other small ani- mals find no difficulty in reaching the wa- ter. Ther, again, the cost is much less than the cld style, the latter costing the society from $# to ¥«#) each. Some of the latter, which were bowl shaped, are still in use, but are gradually being replaced by the new style fountain. The soctety does not approve of the combination fountains, which prcvide water for human beings, for the reason that in hot weather the ordi- nary water is too warm for persons, and in winter they do not care to drink out doors. Durirg 1891 fountains were street and Indiana avenue, 1 Columbia road, B street betwe 10th streets, 1uth and E streets southeast, South Crpitol and G streets, Minnesota avenue and Pennsylvania avenve, Hawson < between Maine avenue and Pennsy!- nla aveaue and 13th street near New York avenue. The Anacostia railroad contributed the cost of putting up two of the fountains, and $195 were received from Miss Bettes. With this money, and helped by a very satisfactory co-operation with the water \ placed at Ist h street and th and A Park Fountain. department, by which the fountains given by the society were erected, a number were pliced where they were much needed. There were at this tlme dfty fountains in the District, two-thirds being in the north- western section. The society endeavored to remedy 3 disproportion as far as it was in its power. In view of the facts the water department recommended the ap- prepriation of $2,000 from the District re- sources for the crection ard preservation of fountains. Pressing Need for More Fountains. At the end of the year 1692 there were sixty fountains in working order in the District, and of the number furnished by the society during the year four were to replace werrout and useless fountains, and the society found itself hampered in its desire to put fountains in new places in many sections of the city by the necessity of replacing many of the old ones. For many years the fountains put up had been of different patterns and of widely differ- ing capacity and strength; many were of past usefulness, and would have given out but for the vigilance and patience with which they were watched and mended. Many needed to be replaced, and yet the demand for more fountains in other lo- calities was imperative and was brought hy to every one who saw the utter in- cy of the supply in the great heat adeq) of the summer of 1892. Luck‘ly the new fountain designed by Superintendent Hay- den was found to do double the work of two of the old ones at a cost of less than half of the former expenditure on each fountain. One of the new design of fountains was sent by the society and afterward presented to the city of Chicago and set up there. ‘The windy city responded with a gift of one of its fountains, now in running order at the northeast corner of 7th and C streets northwest. In 1898, in spite of the small means at tts disposal, the society was able, with the co- operation of the water department, to place a good many fountains where the demand for them was very great; it also replaced several wernout or broken fountains. It was found impossible to extend the work as far as desired and to place fountains in all the sites where they were needed. Dur- ing 1893-'04 fountains were put up at 7th street and Whitney avenue, 12th street he- tween Florida avenue and K street north- east, New Jersey avenue and M street south- east, Morris and Monroe street, Anacostia: 7th and I streets southwest, 3d street near H street northwest, 5th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast. in place of the vid fountain at 4th street and Pennsylvania avenue; 6th street and Pennsylvania avc- nue southeast, in place of the old founcain formerly at Sth street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, south side; 15th. street and Pennsylvania avenue, in place of wornout one; 221 and P streets, in place of 6ld onc. Ten new fountains were ordered this year, of which six were placed in new locations, four replaced wornout ones and ten fountains were repaired and removed to more convenient sites. In the Outlying» Districts. With the rapid growth of the city and the cpening of new streets and avenues in 1894, the necessity for additional fountains be- came daily more urgent. These receptacles for water were placed at the errner of Whimey and Brightwcod avenues, 12th street and Florida avenue nertheast, 6th street between C street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, 4th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast, New Jersey avenue and M street southeast, 3d street near P street northeast and I street near 7th south- west. The continued rapid growth of Washing- ton last year has brought to the attention of the society a double necessity to keep up with the rapid settling of the outlymz districts, where facilitiég for watering are poor, and to furnish enough fountains in the business part of the city to accom- modate the horses often seen waiting in line for their turn. Requests, are constantly being received for fountains on the toads leading into Washington, which are continually being opened up. Of late donations for foun- tains have been received from Mrs. Fred- erick Vanderbilt of New York, Mrs. A. L. Barber, Mr. Crammond Kennedy, Rev. Al- exander Mackay-Smith’and Mr. Eduard A, Hammond of Long Branch, N. J. The society is always hoping, that the District will provide fountains from a portion cf the money derived from dog taxes, but that has not yet been brought about, and the organization is stiW dependent on tts cwn resources and the liberality of friends. “We have a good, efficient, cheap fountain, costing but $22,” says'the committee in charge, “and any one who can give that amount will surely be repaid a thousand fold by the thought that all through the long, hot summer they have done an en- during, good deed and prevented much suf- fering. We would suggest that there is one way in which all can help us, and that is if any one should happen to see a fountain maliciously obstructed or out of order, that they notify the society’s office at once. “The gift of $22 will insure the addition of a fountain in any portion of the city to the scant number Washington now vos- sesses, and there can be no better gift of any kind-hearted and public-spirited citi- Sane The drinking fountains for human beings in Washington are limited tn number.

The Chicago fountain at th and C streets and that of Mr. Stilson Hutchins at 1th and — streets also have provision to quench the thirst of bipeds. In the majority of the public parks founts of running water are provided, and there are hydrants, with drinking cups attached, scattered throughout the city. The action of late in closing up wells has shut off the water supply of many persons who were dependent thereon, and it is regarded as important that steps be taken to erect hydrants In their stead. AR L. { the Scottish Parlinment ore Thun 600 Years Ago. From the Philadelphia Exacniner. Probably few spinsters who have been trying to gather up enough courage to take advantage of their customary priviles during leap year are aware that in two countries at least, and more than 6) years ago, laws were passed which gave women the right of proposing marriage. Th nis went even further than this. They also stipulated that if the man whose hand they sought should refuse, he should incur a heavy fine, A searcher among the ancient records of Scotland has recently @iscovered an act of the Scottish parhament, which was passe in the year INS, which Tuns as follow: “It ig statut and ordaint that during the rein of his maist blissit Begeste, ilk for the An Act Passes yeare know Lepe ¥ ilk mayden jadye of baithe highe and lowe es s hae liberte to bespeke ye man she likes, albeit gif he refuses to taik hir to be his lawfuil wyfe, he shall be muicted in ye sum of ane dundis or less, as his estait may be: except and a‘ gif he can make it appe that is betrothit ane ither woman, he then shall be free.” A year or two later a law almost similar to the Scottish enactment was passed in France, ani received the approval of the king. It is also said that before Columbus sailed on his famous vcyage to the west- ward a similar privilege was granted to the maidens of Genoa and Florence. here is no record extant of any fines im- rosed under the conditions of this Scotch law, and no trace of statistics regarding the number of spinsters who took advan- tage of it or of the similar reguiations in France, but the custom seems to have taken firm hold upon the popular mind gbout that time. The next mention of it is dated nearly 400 years later, and it is a curious littie treatise called “Love, Court- ship and Matrimony,” which was published in London in 1606. In this quaint work the “privilege” 1s thus alluded to: “Albelt It now becomes a part of the common law in regard to social relations of life, that, as often as every leap yeare doth return, the ladyes have the sole privi- lege during the time it continueth of mak- ing love cither by wordes or lookes, as to them it seemeth proper, and, moreover, no man will be entitled to benefit of clergy who doth in any wise treat her proposal with slight or contumely Up to within a century ago {t was one of the unwritten laws of leap year that, if a man should decline a proposal, he should soften the disappointment which his an- swer would bring about by the presenta- tion of a silk dress to the unsuccessful suitor for his hand. A curious leap year superstition is still to be met with in some parts of New England, and that is that leap year the “beans grow on the wrong side of the pod.” os Choosing a House for the Summer, From Harper's Bazar. For what must you look in choosing a furnished house for the summer? First, health; second, comfort and convenience; third, style. Health requires that the house be not near higher ground, but where all water will run from it in every direction. The cellar must be dry, and you should be cau- tious about taking a house where it does not extend under the entire building; also, if possible, avoid houses with sleeping rooms on the ground floor. If there is plumbing, be sure that tt is properly trap- ped. See that the house is not too much shaded, or too near any water which Is not in constant and rather rapid motion throughout the summer. But above everything, look well to the drinking water; clear, sweet-tasting water is not necessarily healthy, nor the reverse. Be sure that no drainage is near the well or above it, so that even underground it can run into the water anil taint it. It is impossible to be too particular about this matter. p sos A Good Reason.

A Good Pair to Draw To. From Fliegerde Blatter, REASONS FOR THE OPEN INVITATION Given by Doctor McCoy to All Chronic Sufferers in Washington, Welcoming Every Sufferer From Catarrk, Bronchitis, Rheumatism, Deafness or Any Other Malady to a Trial Treatment Entirely Free. The purpose of this invitation ex- tended in the Trial Treatment Free clause must not be misunderstood. It is simply the result of the Famous Physician’s desire that the public may obtain without cost an adequate knowledge of the treatment which is the perfected result of his life work, which, like his earlier treatment given to the world ten years ago, will soon be in general adoption by the profession, which has worked such cures in” Deafness and Bronchial Diseases alone as to startle the old school practitioners, which has al- ready proven by the wonderful rec- ord of results that it will be the treat- ment of the future. In extending this invitation Doctor McCoy desires that its terms be unequivocal. Every person in Washington to whom life has become a burden by reason of the filthiness and suffering of common Catarrh of the Head, Nose and Throat may now apply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and receive a trial treatment free of charge. Every person in Washington who s become discouraged and tired of the vain fight they have been making against the cough, the choking spells and the ever-recurring agonics of Asthma and Bronchitis may now ap- ply at the offices of Doctors McCoy and Cowden and get an inkling of what may be done for them by a bet- ter system of treatment than they have heretofore been rece will be cheerfully accorded a trial treatment without charge. Every person in Washington who has fost strength of heart and strength of body and is becoming pale, emaciated and lantern-jawed and melancholy by the sickness, the torture and the starvation incident to chronic Catarrh of the Stomach may now apply at the offices of Doc- tors McCoy and Cowden and _ re- ceive, without expense, an explana- tory administration of the treatment that has restored so many thousands of gloomy dyspeptics. Every person in Washington who may be undergoing the fiery agonies | of Rheumatism or the blight, the suf- fering and the disfigurement of Ec- zema, or the weakness, failure, mis- ery and decay due to any common form of chronic disease, may now apply at the offices of Doctors Me- Coy and Cowden and get a glimpse of happier conditions in store for them under the McCoy system of treatment. The free trial treatment will be ac- corded to all upon personal applica- tion. To those who continue treatment until cured there will be no expense Ss beyond the regular nominal monthly | assessment, all medicines included. | Dr. McCoy Curing the Deat.

MONTANA. How the Hunters Slide Down Moun- tain Sides on Their Skin. From the Helena Independent. One cold morning a little party might have been seen preparing for an elk hunt in front of a typical mountain cabin. It has been estimated that about one man in 1,000 will make a good elk hunter on the skis, hence the three men who had gathered for the sport were objects of no ordinary interest. The party was organized, as a rancher had decided to take a number of elk alive to make up a herd, and had sent for the best and most skillful riders for that purpose in the Montana mountains. The men were trying on their skis, rubbing on “dope,” supposed to make them swifter and increase the polish, and discussing the prospects. Finally the party was ready and the start made; three men moving along easily on the skis, and cthers on ordinary snowshoes; the former armed with lariats—an imper- tant feature in the hunt. Elk had been massing in a canyon about two miles away several days before, and since then there had been a heavy storm and freeze, so that the mountains were piled deep with suow, over which was a hard crust that gleamed and glistened in the sunlight like glass. The plan of the hunt was to steal along the crest of the hills and mountains until a herd of elk was sighted in the valley be- low, then, at the word start, slide down the mountain, dash into the herd at full speed and rope the elk with a lariat before they could recover from their astonishment. After traveling some distance the hunters finally reached the ravine in which the eik had been seen and carefully followed along the edge, which was lined with snow-cov- ered brush. They had gone nearly a mile when the leader suddenly stopped and pointed ahead. Through an opening in the brush down in the canyon, at the base of the deep slide, the dark forms of numerous elk were seen. The men estimated that it was at least two miles from the oven coun- try, and that it would be impossible for the elk to make much headway up the side of the ravine, owing to the deep drifts. Lariats were now taken in hand and made ready, and the three ski riders began to examine the slope for a favorable place to take the slide. This was an important mat- ter, as, if a tree, or some obsiruction that could not be leaped, was struck, it would end the hunt so far as the ski man was cencerned. The slope of the mcuntain was dotted with large pines, about which the snow was piled so that many looked as though the tops were projecting frdm the snow. Some distance on they came to a place where evidently early in the winter there had been a slide, and trees and brush had been earried down in the rush, leaving a com- ing.
