Isii safe 90 Drink HardWater

There Il a popular prejudice that hard water
Is dangerous TO the health, snd on that sccOuut
we are constantly warned by physicians to be-
wsre OF IL, but in England one Of the leading
authorities on this subject, Dr. Letheby, after
devOtlng many wears to an investigation into
the properties OF the water introduced into
English cities, and 20 study Of the sanitary re-
pertS on the subject, comes TO the conclusion
that moderately hard water is safer snd more
healthful than soft water. Hard water is not
Only clearer, colder, more free from ar, aud
consequently more agreeable 20 the eye and 70
the taste than soft water, but Is less likely 10

upon salts OF iron or upon leaden cAndn citing
pipes. The lime salts exert a beneficial infiu-
eI &c upon the animal economy, AMI even pro-
tect the system from dangerous outward IRhI
ences. DIR. Wilson Of Edlnburg, has also col
lected much valuable material on the subject,
and comes 10 the same conclusions as DIR. Lsthe-
by. He takes the ground that the human body
requires for It's nouTishmeut aud support a sup
ply OF certain mineral salts, among which CarbO-
nate and phosphate OF lime play an important
rsrtin building up the eompactDess of the bones
and in other functions. We usually obtain phOs-
plate 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 our soma food but generally obtains
in spring and well water.
1t has been incOntestlbly shown that in noun
famous districts, where the water IS more or
less hard, the inhabitants exhibit the best phys
zeal development. On the other hand il Is be-
lieved that in large cities the mortality is in

inhabitants. A water which contains about six
grains of aTbonate of lime TO the gallon is suit
able for use in all household purposes. as n
drink and for cooking food, such q water Offers
the necessary carbonate Of lime for the support
Of life in the simplest, most natural and most
easily digested form, and is at the same time,

dent that our precOnceiyed popular notions on
the subject OF hard water need revising, and
that il may be better to use such water than 70

"EXoUsR MY GLovE."-Certain kinds of
mistaken politeness, sincere as they are are
absurd enough to be grotesque. A common
mistake of this sort, with some persons, even in
large cities, is to say, Excuse my glove" when
they offer their hand to a casual acquaintance,
or on introduction to q stranger. It might be
inferred from this remark that the wearing of
gloves is extremely rare in q civilized commu-
nifty, or that the wearer wishes TO advertise the
extraordinary fact that he has gloves. All he
really desires is TO appear poltte never suspect
Ing for moment that he ts simply ridiculous.
IL you offer to shake hands with any one In q
place where 1t is customary TO wear gloves, you
certainly need no excuse for compliance with
the habit. You might with equal reason. on
receiving visitor at your house, apologize to
him for not removing your coat before bidding
him welcome.
The superhuous phrase probably had its
origin In the days when gloves were clumsy,
and used more for protection than as an essen
tai OF dress. Then the naked hand was
thought to be an evidence OF good will and cor
diality. Since gloves have been universally
adopted, the idea of asking pardon for wearing
them is an snachronism as we'll as an impro-
Triety. -.-..----

In the monetary report in the Geographic
columns this morning is noted the failure
of two large business firms, one in the
grain, and the other in the liquor trade
This is about the period when the great
panic of year ago caused so many mer-
camille failres. The suspension of BUSH
ness houses in New York within the past
three weeks, make up a total OF nearly
three and quarter millions of dollars,
and they have naturally created consider
cradle uneasiness, more especially in credit
circles. The Commercial Bulletin thinks
1t important to reach correct judgement
as to their causes and significance, to pre-
vent any widespread alarm or the cilcu-
lation of reports that may do harm to other
and sounder establishments. Fully two
thirds of these liabilities are connected
with houses in the foreign trade. and the
remainder is distributed among houses in
the dry goods jobbing trade. The dullness
OF trade and the fall of prices are assigned
as the reason for most of these failures,
but three firms, whose liabilities are ST.
350, 900, have gone under on account of H.
legitimate speculations. Gambling in oil
wells and petroleum shipments ruined one;
another fell through speculations in frcights
and charters; and the third, house for
merly in high standing, became irretrieva-
bly, involved in ventures on land. Two
importing houses, whose liabilities are over
a million, are borne down by decline of
20 per cent in the value of the chief arti-
Gle of their importations, and the endeayor
of one to carry the paper of the other.
