Drinking Fountain*.
Drinking fountains «re of modem
origin. Among the earliest were those
erected in Liverpool ai-out 1857. The
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain asso
ciation was formed In London In 1S59
by Lord John RusspII, Mr. S. Gurney
and others. In the "brave days of old"
little consideration was had for the
"public." One of the most Interesting
and encouraging signs of the times is
found in the fact that such considera
tion is nowadays in all civilized coun
tries well ul^li omnipotent, causing the
! "public servants' to look after the
comfort of t lie master they so long con
temptuously ignored.—New York Jour
