Hard water has sometimes been thought
unhealthy, and people have taken great
pains to build cisterns in their houses,
where rain water purified might be had
for the table. But nature rarely makes
mistakes, and spring water is almost uni
formly hard. 1t is found, on extensive and
careful inquiry, that hard water is more
healthful than soft. The body needs some
of the salts held in solution in hard water,
and suffers If they are not supplied in
some way. In England, the counties where
hard water abounds are more healthy than
those where son water is used. The same
fact appears In cities, where the mortality
Is least in the section supplied with hard
water. Contrary the general Impression,
soft water acts on leaden pipes more pow
erfully than hard, and induces danger.
Those who have built rain water cisterns,
thinking them more healthy than wells,
will need to study the wiser methods of ma
ture,

LOOK on THIS PIcrURE-AND ON THIS"
-Apropos of the proposed purchase by
congress OF the celebrated picture referred
to, the Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean relates the following:
1--WE all know Carpenters picture of The
Signing of the Emancipation Proclama-
tlon.' Lincoln, with his sad, grave face
sits, pen in hand, as If even after long coun-
sci AMI meditation, he still hesitated
Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury.
stands behind the chair he hopes one day
to NIL, very monument of dignity, look
ing hopefully into the glorious future;
Stanton, fierce and determined, has push
ed his chair back as if he had said all he
had to say; Seward in profile, and Welles
opposite, are evidently talking; while
smith, Blair and Bates stand respectfully
back. Look at the picture well-note its
solemnity, the air of serious and anxious
thought over the faces, and the grouping,
though not unduly studied, dramatic.
Now will tell you how that thing really
happened. Two days before the prSclama-
tion was issued, there had been a Cabinet
meeting in which no business of an un-
usual character was transacted, and the
Secretaries were surprised to receive next
morning summons TO a special meeting
to be held that day. They met promptly
at the White House at twelve, and going to
Mr.. Lincoln's room found him sitting in
his great armchair, his long legs crossed
an open book in his hand, and peculiarly
amused look OH his face. 'Sit down. said
he to the gentlemen as they came in; Il
want to read you something funny And
then he went on and read aloud one of
Orpheus c. Kerr's war letters from the
Mackerel Brigade, convulsing himself and
his hearers with laughter. But every now
aud then they would look at each other,
rather wondering what It all meant. Lin
coin watched the mute inquiries slyly, but
he gave no sign of discovery, finished his
reading, and talked about its absurdities
for few minutes then suddenly drew his
chair up TO the table and addressed the
Cabinet: Gentlemen said he, 'of course
you know this isn't what sent after you
for. I have proclamation here he con-
tinued, opening a paper that had been ly-
| ing carelessly folded on the table, and I'd
like you to see it. You need not express
your opinion upon il. I've written II my
self, and near 10 publish II tomorrow,
but I thought it would be proper to break
it to you first They read it, he signed
1t then and there, and that Is the true story
of signing the Emancipation Proclama-
tion.' Carpenter is probably as faithful to
facts as any artist of historic scenes. The
truth is that great events are rarely formal.
1t is only in trlfles that we can stop to think
| Of the appropriate ceremonies"

The frightful death by hydrophobia,
few days since, OF a lady well known in
the dramatic profession, brings vlvldly to
mind the danger which turks, unthought
Of and unheeded, in many households at
this moment. The chance OF getting hy-
drophobia is perhaps not much greater in
general than the chance Of being struck by
lightning. According to one authority,
not more than one In twenty-five of those
who are bitten by mad dogs are infected
by this dreaded disease, and probably not
more than one in thousand is ever bitten.
But just as the chance of being struck by
lightning would be incidentally increased
for person who went about in thunder
storm with patent conductor rigged to his
hat, 50 the chances OF hydrophobia aro
multiplied by habitual association with
dogs. They are still further increased by
habitual association with dogs of kind
most liable 10 Infection.
Hydrophobia is 4 disease as mysterious
as ii is appalling. All the efforts Of science
have done little 10 elucidate its pathology,
and still less to discover its antidote. Ex-
perience, however, has shown certain facts
which it is prudent to recognize and follow.
Male dogs are attacked more frequently
than females, and mongrels oftener than
thorough breds. The genuine Skye terrier,
it is said, never goes mad. But mongrels
ought on no account 10 be allowed in the
household, especially where there are child
rem. Their temper is usually uncertain
and treacherous. They snap on any or no
provocation, and an unregarded bite may,
perhaps, instill the fatal venom. The dog
which gave to the lady we spoke Of her
death-wound had been a family pet for
years, and was hardly suspected to be sick
at the time of its attack. The indications
of rabies are, indeed, almost always OBJ
scure, and often deceptive, and the mischief
is sometimes done before the warning Is
given.
1t is, Of course, difficult 10 persuade peo-
pie that household pets so engaging as dogs,
often gel to be possible source of danger
and death in its most agonizing shape. 1t
is consistent with human nature for each
man to believe that his neghbor's dog
may go mad, but never his own. Yet the
possibility of hydrophobia, however slight,
is so terrible, and the peril incurred so en-
urely disproportionate to the pleasure de-
rivable from the companonship of any
beast, that too much care can hardly be
exercised in selecting dogs for household
companionship. Animals of pure breed
ought in every case to be preferred, aud
mongrels resolutely tabooed. As we have
said, the whole thing is a question of
chances-infinitesmal, perhaps, for people
who do not keep dogs about them a trifle
greater for those who have dogs of pure
breed, still more pronounced for such as
surround themselves with "mongrels and
ours of low degree" Parents, we trust,
will not be slow to observe the distinction.

The Leisure Hour.
JOHNS TRIAL.
ny Z. nEMING.

Just where the Wilderness road of the
Adirondack Highlands strikes the edge Of
the great Champlain Valley, in a little clear
ing, is a homely log house. on the 10th
day of July, 1852, muscular, gaunt wo-
man stood at the door of the house over
looking the vast exlentof the valley. From
her standpoint, ten miles Of green forest
swept down to the lakes winding shore.
She saw the iudenlatiOn made in the shore
line by "the bay" and beyond, the wide
waters cleaning m the fervid brightness of
summer. Specks here and there dscerni-
bic in the light, flashed back from the blue,
mirror-like surface, and by long watching
it could be seen that these specks were
moving to and fro.
The woman knew that these distant NOV
ing atoms were boats frelshling lumber
through Lake Champain. She knew there
was but one boat that would be likely to
turn aside and come into the little bay, and
that this boat would be her son Johns s
sloop.
That was why she watched so anxiously
a speck that neared the bay and at leng' h
entered it. To make doubly sure, she
brought to bear an old spy-glass whose
principal lens was cracked entirely through.
1t gave her smoky view Of the famous
sloor, The Dolly Am, johns property,
and then she was entirely certain that her
son. who had been three weeks absent on
his voyage, was coming home.
Jupiter, the house-dog, who had been
watching her seemed to know il too, per-
fectly well for as sheturned from her sur
vey through the glass, his canine nature
developed a degree of wriggling friskiness
of wi ich the grave old dog seemed hall
ashamed. He whined and walked about
| the duor-yard for few moments, then gave
his mistress a long steady look, and seem
ing satisfied with what he read in her face,
| jumped over the fence and star;ed down
the road into the valley, at full run.
The woman knew that three or fouI
hours must yet elapse before John and Ju.
pter would come along the path together
tired by their long tramp up the mountain
side. She thought and waited as lonely
mothers think and wait for absent ones.
At about four o'clock, a young, dark
eyed man and the dog came up the roat
and 10 the house. "Heigho, mother, al
wellP" was the mans greeting. The wo
mans greeting was only "How do you do
John ?" There was no show OF sentiment
not even hand shake; but bright lool
in the mans face, and tremor in the voc'
of the woman, conveyed the impression
that these plain people felt great dea
more than they expressed.
Two hours passed away, and after sup
per, the neighbors who had seen John an'
the dog come up the road, dropped in for
talk with "the captain" as John was calle'
by his friends.
Soon the inquiry was made, "where di'
you leave your cousin William"
John had taken his cousin William, wht
lived on the lake-shore, with him upol
this last trip, and hence the question.
But John did not answer the question di
rectly. He seemed troubled and unhapp,
about it. He finally acknowledged tina
he and William had not agreed, and tina

We will not fear the beauteous angel, Death,
Who waits us at the portals Of the skies,
Ready to kiss away the struggling breath;
Ready with gentle hands to close our eyes.
How many tranquil soul has passed away,
Fled gladly from fierce pain and pleasure dim,
To the eternal splendor Of the day;
Ald many troubled heart still calls for him
Spirits too tender for tho battle here
Have turned from life its hopes, its fears its charms
And caildrcn from their young companions dear
Have smiling passed away into his arms.
Death will give lack what neither time nor might
Nor earnest prayer, nor longing hope restore,-
Dear az to long blind eyes received sight,
He will give lack those who are gone before.
o, vha. were life, II life were all7 Thine eyes
Are blinded by their tears, or thou wouldst see
Thy treasures await thee in the far-on skies,
And Death, thy friend, will give them all to thee.

SIGNIFICANT FACTS REGARDING IN
FANTs.-Under the most favorable circum-
stances, whore mothers nurse their own
offspring, only about ten per cent die under
one year of age; but, where the bottle is
used, the mortality is considerably increas-
ed. The death rate of infants in cities is
much larger than in the country; in fact, it
is often twice as large. II the whole popu-
lation is included, it is found that the NOR
tality of infants under one year of age ram
ges from fiheen 10 twenty-five per cent of
all that are born in given time. II will be
readily seen that there is a wide margin in
and the healthy infant Of good parentage.
The statistics on this subject vary in differ
ent places and at different times, but every
where this difference exists, and in some
cases it is extreme. Thus, we are told on
the authority of long experience, that, of
those nursed by the bottle in the care OF
other persons than their mothers, often
times only about ten per cent live to the
age OF one year; whereas, of the infants
who are fed from the bottle in care of their
mothers, seventy per cent. live to one year
of age. 1t has also been found that, of those
nursed at tie breast by others than the
mother, only twenty eight per cent lived,
while, II nursed by their own mothers,
eighty per cent lived. At the New York
Infant Asylum, where great care and pains
have been taken, this result was obtained: /:
of those infants nursed by hired women,
carefully selected and inspected, twenty
three per cent died, but of those nursec by
their own mothers only seventeen per cent
died. This fact shows the importance Of
the maternal reation.-RepOrt Mass. Board

ONE MORE MYsrERY.-Another addition

ONE MORE MYsTERY.-Another addition
to the rapidly lengIhening list of myster-
les may be considered made In the fnal
settlement Of the celebrated Colvocoresses
case. In tue summer of 1879, 1t will be re-
membered, Capt. Colvocoresses, retired
sea captain and then resident of LItchfield,
Ct, was found dead, one night in Bridge
Fort, while on trip to New York. The
natural interest in such an event was in-
tensitied by the discovery that the dead
man had an immense insurance upon his
life, on which he had paid but few hun
dred dollars in premiums, and speculation
as TO the way In which he met his death
was further increased by the announce
ment that The insurance companies propos-
ed to resist payment, on the ground that he
had committed suicide. The question,
however, never came to decision in court,
the companies apparently doubling their
ability to prove their claim, and acceding
to compromise approved also by the cap
tain's heirs, that so per cent of the policies
should be paid, and the suits dropped. By
this arrangement, which has just been full
ly completed, the heirs receive sl05, 900, on
which Colvocoresses bad paid but $4,000 In
premiums, and the question whether ho
was murdered or committed suicide Is fln-
ally relegated TO the realm OF mystery.
