Saratoga.
It is as impossible to see Saratoga in
one day as it is the Yosemite Valley.
You may take a superficial glance, but,
to see all the attractions, you must make
an old-fashioned visit. It is a day or so,
for instance, before you can talk under
standing of Congress Water and Con
gress Park. The first thing a visitor sees
in the morning are people hurrying to
ward some spring. He follows the crowd,
and finds himself beneath the pictur
esque pavilion over Congress Spring.
Around the numerous tables ladies and
gentlemen sit, drinking their sparkling
Congress Water; while near by is a res
taurant, where breakfast may be taken
by those who wish to enjoy with their
meal the delightful view and music in
Congress Park. No Parisian cafe or Ger
man beer-garden can boast of attractions
equal to those that the visitor sees in
Congress Park. How differently does
the land now look from what it did in
1792, when the spring was discovered by
a party of hunters, and given its name in
honor of a member of Congress from
New Hampshire.
This park comprises almost the entire
plot of ground encompassed by Broad
way, Congress, and Circular streets.
Originally a forest, possessing many
natural attraction-, it has been material
ly improved by grading, draining, and
the addition of many architectural adorn
ments, until it now presents a most beau
tiful appearance, and is one of Saratoga's
principal charms. During the year 1876
its proprietors (the Congress and Empire
Spring Company) expended nearly $100,
000 on these improvements, and now it
surpasses all other parks of equal size in
the United States in the beauty of its
graceful and artistic architecture. The
grade of the low ground was raised from
two to seven feet, and a new plan of drain
age adopted, which involved in its sys
tem the elegant new reservoir and the
charming miniature lake. The grand en
trance is at the junction of Congress
street and Broadway, near the Grand
Union Hotel and Congress Hall, on what
is now called Monument Square. Once
in the Park, you may stroll at will, visit
ing the lakes and the shaded lawns, list
ening to the delightful music of Down
ing's celebrated Ninth Begiment Band,
which discourses every morning, after
noon and evening, in alternation, from
the two band-stands and the very unique
and artistic Music Pavilion in the center
of the lake. Strolling along to the south
part of the grounds, you may visit the
deer-shelter and park, where are several
animals that roam and skip about within
thef enclosure, greatly to the delight of
the children and the amusement of the
adults. In the Park, amid the flowers
and shrubs, strolling over the grass-covered,
shaded lawns, or lounging under
the grand old forest trees, enchanted by
the charming music here it is that one
may enjoy the supreme delights ofjft
genuine rural summer resort. Every
convenience for park enjoyment is here
afforded, including abundant settees and
shade and the security of efficient police
supervision. The grounds are thorough
ly lighted by gas at night, rendering
them available as a place of evening re

of joy to Saratoga. The tube that now
holds this spring has remained undis
turbed since 18C5 ; but what marvelous
changes have taken place around it. With
all the work round about, the Spring has
remained unmolested, performing its
wonted functions steadily and uninter
ruptedly. An analysis of Congress Spring
shows that it contains of the laxative salts
(chloride of sodium and bicarbonate of
magnesia, 622 grains to each gallon)
enough to render its effects certain with
out the addition or use of cathartic drugs.
At the same time, it does not contain an
excess of these salts, and it is almost free
from iron, an excess of which produces
congestion. The improved method of bot
tling the Congress Water, which retains
the gas, has greatly increased its value,
as will be readily recognized by those
familiar with it in the past, or by any one
who will look through the bottles at the
transparent, sparkling fluid.

An African Belle in Full Costume.
In one tribs through wkose territory he
passed after leaving Tanganyika, Lieu
tenant Cameron found the women much
more regarded than is usual among Afri
cans, and consequently they were much
more fashionable than the rest of their
sex in that happy country. One of the
belles of the country is thus described in
Cameron's Jeurnal: "She is a merry sort
of person, this Mrs. Packwanywa, and
really ladylike in her manners. It was
great fun showing her a looking-glass.
She had never seen one before, and was
half afraid of it, and ashamed to show she
was afraid. She is a very dressy body,
double rows of cowries round her head,
beside copper, iron, and ivory ornaments
stuck in her hair, and just above and in
front of each ear a tassel of red and white
beads. A large necklace of shells was round
her neck, and round her waist a string of
opal -colored singomazzi, and a rope
made of strings of red beads. Her front
apron was a leopard skin, and the rear
one of colored grass cloth, with its fringe
strung with beads, and cowries sewed on
it in a pattern; bright iron rings were
round her ankles and cojjper and ivory
bracelets on her arms. Her hair was
shaved a little back from her forehead,
aud three lines, each about a quarter of
an inch wide, were painted below. The
nearest one to the hair was red, the next
black, and the next white; aud, to crown
all, she was freshly anointed with oil,
and looked sleek aud shiny. Her upper
lip was perforated, and a "piece of stone
inserted, until the lip protruded a couple
of inches, giving a hideous expression to
the face and making her articulation quite
indistinct."
Honey.
A man in Sprague, Conn., during the
last summer noticed bees going from the
eaves of his house, and returning loaded
with honey. Last week he took a few
clapboards from the house, aud se
cured seventy-five pounds of honey in
the comb. In California the bees hide
their stores of honey in crevices in the
rocks in some places. That State is the
great honey region. Immense fields of
natural flowers cover its soil in many
parts. The past year, however, by reason
of the want of rain, the flowers have not
grown. The bees, in the dearth of flow
ers, have made little honey, and accord
ingly are brought face to face with the
prevalent problem of the day, "how to
live." In the excavations made in the
mountain region in building the South
ern Pacific railway, great stores of honey
were found in fissures and sheltered places
in the rocks, revealed in some 'cases by
blasts in working the rock for the road
way. A convention of bee keepers in the
United States was held in this city last
week. They represented a constituency
estimated at 150,000 persons, keeping
seventy-five millions of bees producing
honey to the value of seven million ot
dollars yearly. The Stockholder, New
York.

The "Wisest of Precautions.
Of precautions, the wisest is that which is
taken against disease. There is safety in
timely medication ; great peril in delay. One
malady often begets others far more danger
ous, and if it does not, any abnormal condi
tion has a tendency, if unremedied, to be
come chronic and obstinate. Trifling disor
ders of the stomach, liver, bowels or urinary
organs may speedily develop into formida
ble maladies. Check them at the outset
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, al
though it is wonderfully effective in over
coming disorders of long standing, is, like
any other medicinal preparation, more ad
vantageous in the infancy of the maladies
to which it is adapted than after they have
become chronic. Among these are dyspep
sia, liver complaint, constipation, intermit
tent and remittent fevers, gout, rheumatism,
nervous and general debility, and urinary
troubles. The Bitters are a capital appetiz
er, induce sound repose, and counract the
effects of fatigue and exposure.
"Water Pipe.
While the attention of the people of this
coast is attracted to the question of obtain
ing a proper and sufficient 6upply of water,
not only for domestic and manufacturing
purposes; but for use in irrigating the soil,
it is but right that some attention should be
paid to the proper means of conducting the
water, when found, to the spot where it is to
be put in use. It is well known that for many
yeare iron pipes were supposed to be the
only safe and proper conduits through which
either water or gaB could safely be conduct
ed, but science and time has demonstrated
beyoud a doubt that pipe made of a combi
nation of wood, iron and asphaltum, is not
only cheaper, but far better and more dura
ble. Nearly twenty years ago the manufacture
of this pipe was commenced in the city of
Elmira, New York, and miles of it laid of
both water and gas, where it is, to-day, as
sound as when first put into the ground.
In several of the streets where 3 and 4 inch
mains have, after eighteen years' use, been
found insufficient for the increased popula
tion, and been taken up to be replaced with
larger pipe, not a sign of decay has been
visible.
Mr. George M. Divin, formerly managing
director of the Erie Railway Company, and
one of the principal owners in the Elmira
Water Company, and M. S. Benjamin, Presi
dent, unite in a letter containing, these
werds:
"The Wyckoff CombinationPipe is as sound
after sixteen years use as it was the day it
was laid. We can imagine no reason why
this pipe will not last ailiundred years as
well."
From scores of cities and towns just as
6tronic endorsements have been voluntarily
given. Mr. John Brawley, Superintend
ent Hollydaysburg Water Works. Pa.,
writes: "We have had it in use under 170
feet pressure for sixteen years, and find it
perfectly sound." From Lockport, New York;
Augusta, Maine; Bellaine, Ohio; Saginaw,
Michigan; Ramapo, New York; Centralia,
Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Salt Lake;
the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and
twelve other principal railroad companies in
4he East, the most convincing testimonials
have been received, attesting the durability,
strength and purity of this pipe, which will
be sent to any address upon application.
The right to make this pipe is enjoyed by
two companies only in the United States.
In its issue of October 24th, the San Fran
cisco Journal of Commerce, in a very lengthy
article, upon tne subject of Water Pipes, has
the follewing: In March last an organiza
tion styled the American Pipe Company, with
a capital of $250,000, was established in this
city for the purpose of manufacturing this
pipe and thoroughly introducing it to the
people of this coast and the territories. The
officers of this company are Robert G. Byx
bee, of the firm of H. B. Tichenor & Co.,
President; John E. Chalfant, formerly of the
Mendocino Lumber Co., Vice President;
John F. Byxbee, of the Duncan Mills Lum
ber Co., Secretary and Treasurer; Calvert
Meade, Auditor; Col. Cook Talcott,of thirty
years experience as a civil and hydraulic en
gineer, Chief Engineer; P. T. Dickinson, who
has been for the last twenty years connected
with the manufacture of this pipe, General
Manager. On the organization of the com
pany a mill was started at Olympia, Puget
Soundj W. T., where the lumber is prepred,
when it is brought to this city and taken to
the factory of the company, on Channel street
near Fourth, where it is finished ready for
use. Some fifty or sixty men are employed
at both places. The manner of making this
pipe is peculiar. It is made in sections of
eight feet long. It is first bored, and then
turned in a lathe to a uniform thickness of
shell, rumoviuK all of the sap. and steamed
thoroughly to avoid any possibility of check
ing, or tasting the water. One end of each
piece has a tenon of about 3 inches, aud
the other is mortised to fit it closely. The
swelling of this tenon, when driven home,
makes a perfectly tight joint. The pipe is
now ready for banding. This is done by
winding the iron spirally around it, of a thick
ness and at intervals required by the pres
sure to be sustained by the pipe, and then
the eutire pipe and iron are thickly coated
with asphaltum, producing a condition best
calculated to resist decay in auyiform. The
water pipe is coated on the outside only, as
it is a well known scientific fact that water,
either salt, alkali, or sulphur, does not attect
wood, and in this city this pipe is used at the
Mint to carry off waste acids.
The gas pipe manufactured by this company
is made the same as the water pipe,except that
it is coated inside and is not bound as heavily
.with iron; and one great feature of the gas
pipe is, that it prevents condensation.
From the San Francisco Daily Examiner of
October 29th we quote as follows regarding
a test of this combination pipe:
On Friday we were invited to witness a
test of this water pipe, at the establishment
of A. J. Smith, Esq., on Fremont street, where
three of Mr. Smith's powerful "Atwood &
Bodwell" pumps had been arranged for the
test. There were present several gentlemen
interested in the water supply, among them
being Mr. Schussler, Chief Engineer of the
Spring Valley Water Company. Three
lengths of the ordinary eight inclr(inside di
ameter) pipe were placed in position. The
first pipe was designed to stand a fifty foot
pressure. The pumps were set at work, and
soon a pressure of 160 pounds, equal to a fall
of nearly 400 feet, and yet the pipe was ap
parently as firm as ever. A pressure was then
put on equal to a head of 550 feet, when a
small seam opened in the wood, and a small
spray of water escaped. The pressure was
reduced by the escape of the water and the
seam at once closed and the pipe at 450 feet
started, and a pressure of 55Q feet registered,
when the packing under the temporary
washer on the first -mentioned pipe
blew out. The pipe, however, did not show
the least weakness, even the joints being
perfectly dry and the wood showing that not
a drop of water had escaped.
The pipe was then disconnected from this
one and the interest concentrated in the
other test, whereby it was expected that the
iron section would give away. The wood
pipe had been prepared to resist a pressure
of 200 feet. The pumps were started and the
indicator on the gauge registered 1,250 feet
when the bar of iron running through the
pipe separated with the tremendous
force of the water, and further testing was
useless. An idea of the force may be had
from the fact that the bar was an inch and a
quarter in thickness, and it drew apart like a
thread.
The tests yesterday were satisfactory in
every particular to the company present,
and the next one will be watched with in
terest. The following are among the most promi
nent places and companies on the Pacific
Coast using this pipe for the last three to
eleven years: Alameda Water Co., Cal.;
Santa Cruz Water Co., Cal.; Claus Spreckels
Esq., Aptos, Cal.; Portland Water Co., Ore
gon; Seattle Gas & Water,Co., W. T.; Olym
pia Waterworks, W. T.; Port Gamble, W.
T.; Southern and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies, a large amount; United States
Mint; Camp McDowell, Arizona.
A very fine endorsement of thiB pipe is
made by E. M. Morgan, Chief Engineer and
Superintendent of the Santa Cruz Water
pressure was perfectly tight. The second
pipe was made lor a head of 100 feet. This
stood a pressure of 270 pounds to the square
inch, equal to a fall of nearly 600 feet. The
third pipe, made for a 200 feet head, stood a
pressure of 400 pounds to the square inch,
equal to a head of 900 feet. The test was evi
dently satisfactory to the scientific gentle
men present, and Mr. Schussler expressed
himself highly pleased with the test He
said no pipe in actual service would be called
upon to stand such a test, for in cities it was
impossible to close all the hydrants at the
same time, and even if it were possible to do
so, the peculiar elasticity of this pipe ren
dered it superior to any pipe he Knew of.
From his own observation and what he had
learned, he expressed himself highly pleased
with the pipe.
This pipe has been used in the East for the
last eighteen years, and nearly one thousand
miles of jt has been thoroughly tested. It
has been brought into immediate competi
tion with the best iron pipe, and not in a
single instance has it failed to prove itself
the best, and when taken up to lay larger
pipe it has been found perfectly sound and
every foot relaid.
From the Alta California and San Francis
co Morning Call of November 1st:
A party of scientific gentlemen, including
Supervisor Gibbs, Chief Engineer Scannell,
of the San Francisco Fire Department, and
several city officials, were present to witness
a test of the strength of the combination pipe,
which was of an exceedingly interesting na
ture. Col. Dickinson had had prepared two
tests, one of the ordinary six-inch pipes with
three joints, manufactured to withstand a
pressure of two hundred feet head. The
other was two sections, joined in the centre
with an iron pine obtained from the Snrincr
'Valley Water Company. The iron section
was six feet long, six inches in diameter, the
iron being five-eighths of an inch in thick
ness. Joining at each end was the wood
pipe, also six inches in diameter. An iron
tar,l inches thick, passed through, the cen
tre, and was secured at each end, making the
pipe perfectly air-tight. ;Ihe object waso
give a decisive test of the strength of the
two pipes, and, if possible, Break the iron
with the force of the water.
The water was pumped into the pipes by a
hydraulicpump. At 3 o'clock the pump was
Works, where it has been In use two years.
There they have 200 feet pressure all over the
town, and he says he can lay 1,250 feet 6f six-
inch pipe per day with four men, and that
in all ways, tapping, laying, etc., the expense
is far less than iron pipe. That this pipe
must eventually come into general use there
can be no doubt, for it possesses the follow
ing advantages over any pipe in the werld:
1st, it is the cheapest good pipe ; 2d, it is the
most durable of all pipes practically imper
ishable; 3d, it neither expands norcontractsK
and corrosion is impossible; 4th, it is more
easily laid can be tapped with an ordinary
auger; 5th, it is more easily handled lighter
in weight, and perfectly tight; 6th, it is not
liable to get out of order; 7th, it need not be
laid so deep, and in cold climates will not
freeze so quickly; 8th, when used for water
it neither tastes of, or can be affected by
chemical ingredients; 9th, when used for gas
it prevents condensation.
