for call loans at the bank may be stated at pei

Indeed, in some places, as for examples
rquigle, this latter is the exclusive dependence
Of the peoples. and when the earthquake de-
stoyed the dstiling apparatus, it inflicted an
injury even more serious than the loss OF 1ie

the number Of hours of rait during the year

markable stories Of theie experience in these
parched-up lands. Fresh water is treasured
there like valuabte merchandise, and g spring
is worth as much. as gold mine. The dis
titled water, too, is far from supplying the
place OF that which is produced by natural pro-
cesses. It is tasteless and unsatisfying, and
produces various affections OF the skin and

of abundance of fresh water. ...-,
