ISIT SAFE TO DRINK HARD
WATER

, r.
hard water is dangerous to the
health, and on that account we are
constantly warned by physicians
to beware oft, but i'm England one
of the leading authorities on this
subject, DIR. Letheby, after devo-
ting many years to an investiga-
ton into the properties of the wa
ter introduced into English cities,
and to study of the sanitary re-
ports on the subject, comes to the
conclusion that moderately hard
water is safer and more healthful
than soft water. Hard water is
not only clearer, colder, more free
from air, and consequently more
agreeable to the eye and to the
taste than soft water, but is less
likely to absorb orr anic substances,
to sustain the life of Zymotic or
ganism, or to exert solvent prop
critics upon salts of iron or upon
leaden conducting pipes. The
lime salts exert a beneficial infiu-
ence upon the animal economy,
and even protect the system from
dangerous influences. DR.. Wilson
of Edinburg has also collected
much valuable material on the
subject AND comes 10 the same con-
illusions as DR.. Letherby. He takes
the Ground that the human body
requires for its nourishment aud
support a supply oi certain mineral
salts, among which carbonate and
phosphate OF lime play an i'm
portant part in building up the
compactness of the bones and other
functions We usually obtain
phosphate of lime in our animal
and vegetable food, but not from
the water we drink. Carbonate of
lime, however, is not contained in
adequate quantity in oursolid food
but generally obtains ii in spring
and we'll water.
1t has been incontestibly shown
that in mountainous districts,
where the water is more or less
hard, the inhabitants exhibit the
| best physical development. On
| the other hand it is believed that
| i'm large cities the mortality is in
versely as the hardness OF water
| supplied to the inhabitants. A wa
ter which contains about six grains
Of carbonate of lime to the gallon,
is suitable for use in all household
purposes. AS a drink, for cooking
food, such a water offers the neces-
sary carbonate Of lime for the sup
port of life in the simplest, most
natural and most easily digested
form, and is at the same time, more
agreeable, fresh and sparkling. II
is evident that our preconcelved
popular notions GU the subject of
hard water need revising, and that
il may be better to use such water
than to have recourse to rain or ice
water.

A COMMON MISTAKE.

II strikes the most of persons. when they
frst sit down to Sewing Machine, thatit

many machines, but single days use OF

struction that is easily obtained, will ena-
able lady to make good beginning and
few days practice will make il a pleasant
employment. OF course in this, as N any
other work, practice is needful to reach
perfection. Sewing with the needle in the
fingers is not learned in day, and years
are required to become an expert. But
few eeks' use of the New Howe Machine
will enable any lady to do all her plain
sewing, and do it well, and soon her hne
sewing with far more success than with her
needle, and leave her plenty of time for
everything else she may have on hand.

TOO OLD TO SEPARATE.
From the Des Moine Register.

rom the DtS VuOlIc
Seventy-six years ago there was
born in New York "a gentleman
now a resident OF Central Iowa, no.
far distant from the capital city.
Forty-fve years ago he was mar
ried and lived bappily-at least so
far as is known With his wife un-
Ill about six weeks since. Then
they had their first quarrel. Chill
dren have been born to them ana
grown up under their roof Grand
children have played about their
knees, as old age has come upon
them. Just what the cause ofthat
first quarrel was we have never
ned, or never cared TO learn.
/. is enough for the purpose of the
historian that they quarrelled, and
so bitterly that both took steps for
legal divorce. The long years of
peace were all forgotten, and in
wrath they proposed to sever the
lives that had been one for nearly
q half century. Now, childish
as this appears, 1t is true, and a
LES mOlDSS man, a lIituu VI all
parties, was sent for to prepare for
NAL articles for the separation. He
went to the residence of the belig-
erent antediluvians about ten days
since, but instead Of drawing arti-
cles for divorce, he played the
role of peacemaker SO well that the
war was abandoned, and now the
old folks use one pillow again.

he does not pay for, Is rs much a
part of his income as the money
which a salaried man pays for

ted as such in an estimate Of the
profits Of the farms. All things
produced on the farmers table, in
Guiding the vegetables from the

cooking, are rs much part Of his
income as the money paid for such
things out of his salary is of the sal

wife and children pleasant ride
to town, using his own horses and
wagon, the value of their use Is
part ofhis income from his farm as
truly as the money the other man
