LEAD AND T1N-L1NED PIPEs.-Pro.
fessor johnson, of Yale College, writes
to Hearth and Home: It is great
misfortune that we have nothing to
take the place Of lead pipes, tin
lined or Otherwise The fact is quite
indisputabie. Glass and earthen are
too fragile. and not easy to join. Gut.
tapercha oxidizes and becomes good
for noting when exposed to air and
moisture. Iron rust, although service:
able in many cases, is apt to spoil
water for laundry purposes. Lead
and tin are best on the whole, and il
we simply adopt the rule not to drink
or use on the person water which has
been long in contact with the metal, i'll
effects need not be anticipated. Lead
pipes for the supply of drinking waite,
should be short, and should be freshly
filled from the spring or main, o.
other material just before using their
contents. Water that has stood in leao
for some hours should never be EN-
ployed for drink or for cooking. In
consideration of the serious consequen-
ces which so often follow the employ
ment Of lead for water-serviee, we
may be tempted to declaim Violently
against it's further toleration; YET
human life is, at the best. a series o.
narrow escapes, and we must seek, by
Intelligence and care, to mitigate ano
neutralize the evils which cannot be
wholly overcome, except at a cost
greater than is involved by rendering
them harmless by precaution.

The Rocky Mountains.

One who starts with the idea of be-
ing greatly impressed by the Rocky
Mountains is sure of disappointment.
The ascent begins as soon as YOU
leave Omaha, and you ride five hum
dred and fifty miles before reaching
the summit-the grade being SO grad.
ual that you scarcely notice it except
during the last four or five hours
The scenery at the highest point,
Sherman, is no way specially notice
able, and one does not recognize that
he is at the summit except by reference
to his table of elevations. There |
discovered that We had mounted up
ward 4,30O0 feet in $50 miles, and >
300 in the last IS mile section.
There is a rariness in the atmos-
phere quite unusual and bewildering;
one draws longer and deeper inhala-
tiOns; distances are confusing -t,eyOnd
that l. the only fact that the noun
tain-tOp has been gained and that the
downward slope to Salt Lake Valley
now begins. The ascent of the Sierra
Nevada range is somewhat different.
Ii begins about Reno. We climb on
ly about 800 feet in fifty miles, but
it is Enthusiastically mountain. The
grade is gradual enough, for the road
winds about, among the peaks and
spurs with n suggestive charm of hu-
man foresight and ingenuity, but the
towering slopes on the one side and
the yawning chasm on the other
make you realize what you are doing;
and the superb scenery all gives
around gives a sense of satisfaction
for which l had ached through hum
dreds and hundreds and hundreds of
miles of sage brush and buffalo grass
and alkali sand.
