Poison OF LEAD PIPEs.-Sclentitic re-
search has at length determined the follow
ing practical facts First, for at least one
month after the pipes are laid, no water
from them should be used for pur-
poses of drinking or cooking. Second, if
the water contains lime (carbonate) to the
extent Of four grains in gallon, the pipes
are not acted upon by water passing through
lead pipes. To know the quantity of lime
contained in water, boil gallon until it has
disappeared and weigh the remnant. If
you blow through a Quill or rye straw into
glass of water, It becomes of milky coll
or If there is lime in 1t. If the water is
soft, It forms on the inside of the lead pipe :
a coating, called the oxide of lead, which
oating more efiectually prevents the de-
composition of the lead beyond 1t than a
coating Of tin or zinc, and costs nothing

WIT AND IIUMoR OF THE BIDLE.-
"Shocliing!" many n good old saint will
cry at the very thought of it. "The Bible
Il jest book? What goddess folly shall we
have up next?" No, the Bible is not a Jest
book. But there is wit in it Of the first
quality; and good reason why it should
he there. Take few specimens: job, in
his thrtieth chapter, is telling how he
scorned the low-ived fellows who pretend
to look down upon him in his adversities.
They are fools, they belong to the long
cared fraternity. Anybody with less wit
might come out bluntly and call them asses.
But Job puts it more deity (3O:7J: "Among
the bushes they braycd under the nettles
they were gathered together" If that is
not wit, there is no such thing as wit. And
yet the commentators don't see it or wont
see ii. They are perfectly wooden when
they come to any such CLEAN of humor.
| Take another instance-Elijah ridcule Of
| the prophets of Baal. They are clamoring
| to their god, to help them cut Of very
| awkward predicament. And, while they
are at it, the prophet shows them up in a
way that must have made the people roar
| with laughter. The stiff, antiquated style
of our English Bible tames down his sal
| lies. Take them in modern phrase. These
| uuack prophets have worked themselves
into a perfect desperation, and are caperinG
about on the altar as if they had the st.
Vitus's dance. The scene Il Kings, Is: 20,
20 wakes up all Elijahs sense of the ridi-
culouS. "Shout louder lie is a god, you
know. Make him hear Perhaps he is
| chatting with somebody, or he is off on a
hunt, or gone travelling. Or, may he, he is
taking nap. Shout away! Wake him up!'
Imagine the priests going through their an
lies on the altar, while Elijah bombards
| them in this st yle, at his leisure. If Mr.
Beecher ever said anything that convulsed
his audience more thoroughly ;han the
| prophet must have done the Jews around
him, | should like TO hear it. Paul show,
drv humor more than once, as in I'd Cor.
l2:l l3,-"Wby haven't you Jared as well a.
the other churches? All there is one grie-
vance-lhat you haven't had me to support
Pray do not lay / up against me" TheS(
instances might he multiplied from the Olc
and New Testament both. What do they
show? That the Bible is on the whole
humorous book Far from it. That relig
ion is a humorous subiect-thlt we are L
throw all the wit we can into the trcatmen
of it? No. But they show that the sens
of the ludicrous is put into man by hi
Maker; that it has its uses; and that w
are not to be ashamed of it, or to roll nj
our eyes in holy horror of it.-G. B. WI

s. Prenliss was reported TO have lost thirty
thousand dollars the first winter he was in
Congress.
The most notorious and dashng gambler
of the day was Edward Pendleton. lie
came from Virginia, where he was well
connected, his family being of the best
blood in the State, and he married most
respectable and accomplished lady, whose
father held responsible Office under the
government. Pendleton gave sumptuous
entertainments at his clubhouse, which
were well attended by some of the most
eminent public men in the district. Mr..
Mangum, then President of the Senate,
John j. Crittonden, John NJ Bolts, John
b. Thompson, Of Kentucky, and Linn
Boyd, allerward Speaker of the House, and
others Of lesser note, were frequently his
guests. Congress had enacted stringent
penal laws to prevent gambling, but they
were dead letter, unless some poor devil
made a complaint of foul play, or some
fleeced backleg sought vengeance through
the aid of the Grand Jury; and then the
matter was usually compounded by the
payment oi money
Whist was favorite game with the for
eign ministers and the elder statesmen. Mr.
