vision when gazing at the sun. It's on

EDUCATIONAL.

In the matter of waterworks for
our city, the subject of fire pro-
lection should not be the only one
considered. 1t would be difficult,
perhaps, to find . place in the
union, of the size OF Alpena, where
there is more good water to be
found. and yet whore there is more
poor water used. We are face TO
face, every day, with the purest
water that ever reflected sun
beam, and yet drink every day,
countless millions of living crea-
lures, swarming in our shallow
wells. In some of these wells these
animals are so numerous that the
number swallowed at single
draft far exceed the whole num-
ber of people in our Peninusla
State. There is talk of furnishing
water to the city from the river.
This river water is q little better
than that from the shallow wells,
but not enough better to make
change exceedingly desirable. 1t
has a distinct color. This color
can be traced, and the boundaries
of the stream pretty clearly defined
far out into the bay. Beyond the
mouth it sweeps off to the right
toward Partridge Point, leaving the
north corner of the bay and Trow-
bridge Point region quite free from
sediment. In that region the bot
tom may be seen at the depth of
nearly twenty feet. This river
water has endless quantities of
vegetable matter floating in it,
Most of this is rotten wood, leaves
and bark. As high as fifty thou
sand pieces of rotten wood and bark
were found in q single drop, and
every drop contained no incon-
siderable proportion of dccaying
sus,ance. This is all indigestible,
and being indigestible decaying
substance is, Of course, unbcalth-
fuI and unfit to be drank until it is
filtered. II we ever have water
works, we ought to have decent
water, the best water there is in the
world-the water that tantalizes us
with its sparkling brightness every
time the sun, moon or stars shine
upon it.

Some OF Prentice's Sayings.

A recent writer reproduces from
the Louisville Journal some OF
George d. Prentice's witticisms,
which were not dependent upon
time and circumstances, as most of
them naturally were, for their point
and force. Following are few of
them:
To keep friends, treat them
kindly, to kill them, treat them Of
ten.
Men should not think too much
of themselves, aud yet man should
be careful not to forget himself.
A dinner to which a man is not
invited generally sits hardest In his
stomach.
There are many men whose
tongues might govern multitudes,
IL they could govern their tongues.
The doctors ought to escape
calumny. No man living has q
right to speak i'll Of them.
If the editor of the - isn't
rogue, he ought to bring libel
suit against his own face"

lady finally won her point, and got
her horse.
The steed was Of an erratic and
playful disposition, and used, on
the least provocation, to tear mad
ly along the beach, and succeeded
in spilling the old lady out several
times. At last the captain, who
had never driven the beast, volun-
teered to break him of his vicious
habit; so getting another old salt
to aid him, he procured kedge
anchor with a stout line attached.
Fastening the end of the line
around the axle, and putting the
anchor in the wagon, the fiery un-
tanned was hitched up and the two
old gents started out for a drive
along the shore. Soon the viva
cious charger espied something
which gave him an excuse to run
away, and Immediately dashed off
with frigbtful vivacity.
The captain dropped the reins
and summoned all hands to "let 60
tha anchorv Tho anchor uos 1at
go, and caught firmly in the sand.
The unsuspecting quadrupedpranc-
ed joyously along until he got to
the end of the rope, and then he
paused-paused so suddenly that
the two old gentlemen shot up into
the air like a couple of sky rockets,
coming down in fearfully dilapi-
