Scientific American.
1tmay bepleasantto those who live in 6
region OF our country where nothing but
hard water is to be had, to be informed
by so good authority as DR.. Tidy, the vel
known chemist, Of the results Of his OBJ
servations on the use of hard water fol
culinary and domestic purposes:
(1) Hard water is the best dietetically
because OF the lime. ~
(2) 1t makes better tea, although not SC
dark colored, owing to the fact that soft
water dtssolves the bitter extraciye mat
tiers which color the tea, but ruin the
aroma.
~ It relieves thirst, which soft water
does not.
AZ 1t does not dissolve lead or organic
matter, which soft water does.
: ~ 1t is generally good colored, soft wa.
ter being as rule dark colored and un-
pleasant looking; hence, in places like
Manchester, supplied with soft water, they
always put 1t lin hotels) in dark bottles,
to hide the color. A soft water, however,
is better detergent, and requires less
soap, For q residential town a water
which has over ten degrees Of hardness
would be best. For manufacturing towns
q soft water would be the most advisable,
for commercial considerations only.

they. are after u.s. Say that, and he'll

his eye as he sat in the sulky, and started

the latter leans forward and talks to his
pet all through the race.
