It involves the question of the right of cities and towns Co make free use of rivers and streams for tbs disposition of their sewage, and the highest courts, and probably Congress also, may bo called upon to render verdicta in thsmatter, says the Savan nah News. Aa ia well known, Chicago is build* lag a great canal to divert all of the city's sewage from Lake Michigan, where it is now being emptied, into the Illinois river. The Illinois empties into the Mississippi, and St. Louie gets her water supply from the Mississippi. It is the contention of the latter city that the mass of Chicago’s sewage, which undiluted amounts at present to 30,000 cubic feet < minute and is constantly increasing, being poured into the Illinois will inevitably con taminate the supply from which St. Louis’ drinking waler ia drawn. Sew age from other towns is now being poured into the rivers above St. Louis; add Chicago’s quota that which now goes into the rivers, and St, Louis be lieves the result would be something terrible. She says she does not want to be forced to drink any such water, and that Chicago has no right to con taminate her water supply. She has spent $14,000,000 in perfecting a water system which Chicago ia likely to ren der useless unless she is restrained. Obickgo, cn the other hand, asserta St. Louis is unnecessarily alarmed; that there is absolutely no danger of the pollution of the water supply. It is pointed out that it is 350 miles from Chicago to St. Louis by the water way the stream from the Chicago drainage canal would take. Before traveliog half of that distance, it is claimed, the aewage would bo purified by san and air, and that when the water reached the in-take of the St. Louis water works it would be aa pare and health ful aa that which St. Loais has been drinking for many years. Nature, says Chicago, will take care of the purity of the water; except for nature's be&ifioent processes of purify ing streams, every brook and river in the world would be reeking ol pesti lential germs. Furthermore, Chicago says the canal has been under con struction for a number of years, and its purpose was never a secret. If St. Louis had objections to make, she should have made them long ago. Up , to the present time Chicago has spent $30,000,000 on the canal, anrtsbe does not propose to sink all of this money merely out of defereuce to the childish fears of St. Louis. Thus we see there is room for a nice and lively fight respecting the matter. Whether or nut there would be pollu tion for expert sanitarians, and the rights of the cities is a question for the courts and Congress. Clay as a Stump Orator- A single piece of ready wit, which saved Mr. Clay from overwhelming defeat At a critical moment, affords an cxaellent example of the demand made upon the stump orator, says the Youth’s Companion. In 1816 Mr Clay voted for a new compensation act of Congress. It aroused a tornado of popular wrath Not even the great commoner could stand against this, and he sagaciously reeolved to try and weather it Meet ing a staunch supporter who had turn ed against him, he said : "Jack, you have a good flinblock, haven’t you?’’ "Yes.” 7 - "Did it ever flash io tbepan?” "Once it did, but only once.” "What did you do with it? Did you throw it away?” "No, I picked the flint aud tried it again.” . . "Well,” said Me. Chy. "I have only flashed once—on this compensation bill—And aje you going to throw me away?” “No!” cried the hunter, touched in hia tenderest part. “No, Mr. Chy, I will pick the flint and try you again When ail else failed, a simple illus tration. -drawn from everyday life, sufficed to reach those brave and hardy frontiersmen.

Fischer on "Easy Reading of the Hand,” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. “With a weak thumb a hand that otherwise shows greet possibilities will be nerveless, unsuccessful, and remain undeveloped. With a large, strong thumb, whatever faults or virtues the subject may have he will never be petty; be may be either good or bad> be will never be ordinary. A large-thumb indicates one who is independent in both thought and action, who is ready to take the con sequences of hia own wrong-doinge, who ia swayed only by reason, and is only disgusted and hardened by a dis play of emotion. The combination of a large thumb with a broad palm shows courage to the point of rashness; with along, clear bead line, absolute lack of fear, and great calmness and decision in the moment of danger. A small thumb always indicates a sentimental, impressionable nature, incapable of forming any very high aims, or executing work of any value. The cpinions of subjects are formed for him, rever by him, although be will believe himself to have thought them all out, and will quote them as his own. A thumb easily bent back shows ex travagance of thought, adaptability, and a tendency to ‘fad.’ The first, or nailed, phalanx of the thumb represents will power; the sec ond logic. If the first is long and the second short the subject will be self willed and violent, having no restraint whatever over hia passions. If the second is long and the first short he will be logical, calculating, and will rule every action by reason; but the energy and desire for action will be materially decreased. To have a really good thumb lbs two phalanxes should be ol equal length ; then reason and will combine, and the highest results i for a happy future should be forthcom ing.” ' An Important Difference.

LeForest Wood, impersona tor and dialect reader, will give one of his enjoyable entertainments at the Y. M. C. A. building tomorrow evens ing. ( Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the ■ First Baptist church of Atlanta, in speaking of Mr. Wood, says: "I like the dialect diet served for the Dubhc by Mr. G. LeForest Wood. It , feeds and fattens my risibilities, draws ' nails out of ray coffin, fits me for seri* I ! ous work and makes me a better man. 1 God bless this apostle of humor.” i . . He Fought. ’ During the late Spanish-American war ■ a certain old colonel who had sewed all through the civil war and who had -lost one of his eyes at the battle of Gettysburg, was very indignant because he was put k aside as physically incapacitated when he applied for admission to One of the New 1 York volunteer regiments. Filled with wrath, he journeyed to Washington, bent on having a personal intewiew with the president. He succeed ed in gaining an audience, and the presi dent, after listening to his plea, said kindly: "But, my good Colonel J., you have only one eye.” ‘‘Just so, sir,” was the prompt re joinder, "but can’t you see the great ad vantage of my having only one eye? When I aim my gun, I will not have to dose the other.” He fought at Santiago.—Harper’s Ba aar. Gladstone’s Memory. Mr. Gladstone had such a good memory himself that he was inclined to be im patient with those who had not. At a din ner In London a few years ago he was sketching, to the delight of the company, a stirring scene in the house of commons In the early forties. Lord Granville was a guest at the dinner and was In the com mons at the time of the events to which Gladstone referred. "Did you take part In the division?” asked Mr. Gladstone of Lord Granville. "I'm sure I don’t know,” replied Lord Granville. “I can’t remember whether I did or not.” "Not remember P* fairly shouted Glad stone. “Why, It was only 48 yean ago. ” CAMTOniA. BsarsU.
