DRINKING FO U N T A IN S
The old-time drinking cup has
been displaced by fountains that
gurgle forth nature’s sparkling
beverage. More sanitary, says
our learned friends. But are
they? That depends. If they
have sufficient force to throw the
water above the outlet so as to
“ bite the the bubble” instead of
sucking the bulb, and the over­
flow bowl kept reasonably clean,
so they do not look like a recent
goose pond, they are an improve­
ment over a rusty tin cup. But.
if you must close your ruby lips
over a bulb where the water is
weakly trying to wash away the
tobacco juice left by the last
thirsty individual, and you gaze
down into the miniature frog pond
and you can almost feel the green
frog-crest in your teeth, you will
probably pine for even a gourd to
drink from.
