WRITING MAcHNEs.-After all,
wa are inclined to think that the
real solution of this problem of
rapid and easy writing will be
mechanical rather than alphabetic.
1t is the pen that is inadequate to
the work that needs to be done.
As an instrument the pen may be
perfect of its kind, as the common
sewing-needle is perfect. Neither
pen nor needle is likely to be ever
done away with wholly; yet both
fail alone to meet the increasing
demands of our quick-moviHg civ
iliZation. The sewing machine
has come in to do the great bulk
of our stitching. We must have a
machine to do the same for our
writing. The letters must be
struck with metal type instead
of being traced by hand; and the
writer's part must be confined
wholly, or chiefly, to the touching
of appropriate keys. With such
machine the dIstinctness of the
writing will no longer be at the
mercy of unsteady or undisciplin-
ed nerves or muscles; the charac-
tiers may be as complex and sig
nificant as those of Bells Visible

Speech, or even the Chinese, with
out increasing in the least the la
Dor of writing, and the copy
will correspond exactly with print.
The degree of success already
attained by several inventors OF
wrlting-machines gives every as
surance that the manual labor OF
literary workmen is certain to be
greatly diminished. May we hope
that the quality of their work will
be corespondingly improyed2-

stand the test of strictest- investi
CATION, that the exclusive use of
rain or cistern water for all pur-
poses Of drinking, cooking and
bathing, instead of well or hard
water, is n sure preventive of chol-
era and bowel complaints, and that
no town or city supplied eXclu-
sively with rain water ever suffered
seriously from epidemic cholera"
This array of testimony could
be extended by hundreds in Eu-
rope and America, but it is deem
ed sufficient at this time. A dis
tinguished London physician, who
had long studied the subject
wrote "Hard water for cooking
is decidedly bad; many vegetables
are nearly spoiled by being cooked
in it, and it is impossible to get {

CIsTERN WATER FOR CHOLERA.

1t is n well established fact
among intelligent medical men
that the stomach and bowels-the
mucuous membrane-are far less
liable to attack from epidemic dis
eases, and to other arrangements,
under the constant use OF cloud
water than of earth water; that
attacks of cholera and summer
complaints and like diseases are
much Iess frequent and more rare
ly fatal with those who use soft
water than with those who use
hard water. During the cholera
season of lS4S-50, a gentleman OF
eminent skill saw this fact en-
phatically demonstrated, while
passing those summers in several
cities on the Mississippi river,
where portions of the towns are
built on the high rocky bluffs, and
other portions down by the river
side. In the former no water was
used but rain, the rocks rendering
it dillicrlt to dig wells. Hence
cisterns were the only resource for
water, and here were no fatal cases
of cholera or summer complaints.
and very few cases at all, which
were very mild; while in the lower
portions, where earth water was
exclusively used. the cholera and
othe diseases ragged with fearful
and fatal malignance among old
and young.
A French commissioner of
health about that time wrote as
follows: 1T has been clearly AS
certained, both in Paris and else
where, that rain water is a pro-
phylactic (antidotel to cholera,
and that the disease has not proved
an epidemic in any city where rain
water was exclusively used; and
upon all communities the general
use OF rain water is urged, at what
ever cost"
At about the same time DIR.
Hobbs, of Memphis, reported the
following: by the exclusive use
of rain water, cholera will speedily |
disappear and not return; this is |
known from both analysis and ex-
perience of over twenty years,
and proves that it should be faith.
fully used for all personal pur-
poses"
And, further, DIR. John Lea, of
bears the following
testimony on the same subject;

AN IMPORTANT DETAIL.

You can gather very good estimate
of how a house is managed By taking u
peep at the clothes-line in the yard.
If that most essential item of domes-
tic economy hangs out all the week to
be switched and battered by wind and
weather, somebody who ought to be at
her post, is off duty. No wonder then
that Monday is dreadful day.
Although the line may he thoroughly
rubbed of before hanging out the clothes
it Is impossible to prevent them from
being streaked aud soiied If the line is
left out all the time.
Then how must 1t lascerate the tenn
per of the best of women to see yard.
full of clothes, as white as snow, drop
into the dirt because the line broke?
Clothes-lines, like human nature, can-
not stand everything, and if driven by
storms and scorehet by the sun, they
wear out and fail In time of need.
You may attend to the details Of the
kitchen or laundry with the greatest
care: the Kitchen stove may draw to a
charm; the boiler be waterproof snd rs
bright a. silver; but If YOU turned your
clothes-line out of doors long ago, what
recompense Will all that be when you
look out Of the window, and see the re-

THROUGHTHE HEART.

There Is fine dramatic sentiment In
a story translated from the Russian pa
pers by recent English exchanges. Al
few miles out of, Moscow lie the vast es-
tates OF noble landed proprietor, whose
veteran steward, an old :Inan. of high
character, occupies handsome house
upon the property, and had q daughter
of great beauty aud notable intellectual
gifts. A steward, from his years, long
service, and good qualities, may be very
highly esteemed and familiariy treated
by an arlstocratic employer; bat for all
that his actual rank is onlya a higher SER
wants, and of course his children are
born to lowly station. The daughter in
the present narrative seems to have been
peculiarly conscious of this fact, and at
the beginning of her womanhood in the
world avowed her determination to en-
courage no suitor whose social position
was incompatible with her hereditary
place in life. She was aware OF her at
tractive beauty and mental superiority
and wished to guard herself from the
unsuitable homage which she knew such
characteristics were likely to bring her !;
but even such prccOciOuS wisdom and
discretion were to be of no avail against
the imperious passion. The--son of a
wealthy and very proud merchant Of
W
tions beyond recall and easily convince
her that his own love was such as to
level all differences of natal estates. In-
deed his demeanor towards her was Pc
culiarly deferential on all occasions, and
the chivalrous cOurtship ended in a be-
throthal promising almost poetic
| union. just before the day fixed for
the wedding came the birthday of the
bride-elect, which she consented should
be celebrated by the lover with dinner
and ball at her fathers house. National
| and local custom justified this form OF
celebration, and large company came
to 1t; but, alas, the young man entered
too freely into the festive spirit of the
occasion, and drank more wine at the
dinner than was good for bis manners
