The Esnnimanx.

1t cannot be denied that the Esqui-
maux are dirty people. They have
not the facilities for keeping themselves
clean. In winter, water is too scarce
and too precious an article to waste in
washing. Generally all tie water you
have is ice or snow melted over an oil
Tampa very tedious process. Another
obstacle is the fact that you must wipe
your hands and face pretty soon after
washing, or they wi | be frozen, and
when onca towel is used its future use
fulness is seriously impaired. It then
becomes frozen stiff as board, and is
about as available as that for wiping
ones face and hands. In quarters, a
towel, while drying, catches all the fly
ing particles of SCOT which emanate
from the lamp. The Esquimaux them
selves know nothing of towels, however.
They have no cloth for the purpose.
The refinement of napkin is undreamed
Of The men eat while sitting or stand
ing in circle, and pass large piece of
meat, either cooked or raw and bloody,
from one to another, each in turn seiz-
ing morsel in his teeth and cutting it
off with large knife, to the imminent
peril of his nose. At the end of the
meal their faces and hands look as if
they had been eating out of q trough.
They don't mind the dirt, but they hate
to waste the blood or gravy, so they
scrape their hands, fingers and cheeks
very carefully with their knives, and
then lick the knives clean with their
tongues. Nothing, you observe, is
wasted by this process-not even the
dirt.

An EDITORS Trunk.

There appears to be an epidemic OF
finding valuables in old trunks. Not
long ago diamond was found by la
borer, and an old trunk sent to be re-
paired in New Haven, Ct, was found to
contain in a small drawer gold watch,
$50 in gold, two gold bracelets and di-
amond and pearl set. This reminds
us that a trunk brought over in the
Mayfower was being cut up for firewood
by Norrstown man the other day,
when out rolled 100000 in gold, two
silk hats, q diamond inlaid clock. four

LATE researches are showing an aston
ishing vitality of disease germs. Pasteur
has investigated case in which cattle
died of carbuncular fever twelve years
ago. and were buried at a certain spot in
a walled garden. Guinea pigs have been
inoculated with the matter secured by
washing samples of the soil, and died
quickly with well marked symptoms Of
carbuncle. Of seven sheep allowed ex-
perimentally to pass few hours daily
on this spot, two died of the same dis,
ease in the course of six weeks, the rest
of the flock remaining unaffected. This
seems to prove beyond doubt, the ex.
istence of disease germs for G space Of
twelve years.

i CANNOT TELL YOU WHY.
BIZ JOSEPHINE roLrARl

When Robin came securing me,
Acomely youth was he,
While was but country lass.
AS simple as could be
ALWAYS blushed-was Ill at ease
Whenever he was by:
And felt 80 very, very queer,
cannot teli you whyl
The Covers he brought hid away
Within a secret nook;
kIs never guessed how dear they were,
Or knew what pains l took
To keep them long; and when they grew
Quite faded, old, and dry,
Ny tears fell on them like dew,
cannot tell you whyl
Eaca gift he gave, each word he spoke
To me was very dear;
And yet was but half myssf
Whenever he was near;
AS restless az the startled faWn.
Az bmid and IS shy,
was-and yet he courted me,
cannot tell you whyI
o. there were maidens fair 10 zee,
Bedecked with many gen1,
Who would have smiled dehghtedly
Had Robin cotirted them;
And ia those strangely pleasant days,
used to wonder why
he bliaAted these, and chose instead
a sweetheart such "a I.
He seemed uncertain Of his fate,
Until one summer day
he came and tcld me quietly,
That he T@s going away;
Wren at once grew sick at heart
And Thought that I should die;
Oh, I0yers, who are loath to part,
Perhaps you'll tell me whyi
And then he urged me TO become
His wife without delay;
Ag II had been stricken dumb,
had 10 words to say:
ally heart beat fast; my lips In vain
Essayed to make reply;
But Robin did not 60 away

An Analysis of Boston women.

How noticeable many of the Boston
women are. They are highly cultured,
intellectual, abound in theories and
opinions, and are very interesting to
tax to. And how busy they are, and
how full of system. They live by rule !;
they have an hour and a minute for ev-
erything; their haunting dread is lest
they lose a minute of valuable time. :
like them; They are piqhaht studies !;
they repay analysis. They appear to
have no sentiment, but they are full of
it. They keep it for their husbands,
actual or potential Beneath all of their
composure they are intense and fervid,
and capable, when sufficiently moved,
of volcanic eruptions. When the Bos-
ton woman kindles she bursts into a
grand confagration and is dangerous.

Mark Twain ON War,

When you leave battlefield always
leave it IN good order. Remove the

battle, it is neither party's business to
tidy up anything. You can leave the

The correspondent who asks If women

they have. There Is nothing ii our laws
which prescribes how men and women

Result of an Analysis Hado by a

favorable condition, as determined by

Dept.
DEAR SIR Enclosed YOU will find
the result OF my analJ sis of the Bran-
dywlpe water, drawn from the faus et
in your office, on the 18th day of last
month, in the presence of Mr.. Ople.-
This analysis was made by DIR. Wank-
lyn's method, which is now consider d
the pest and most improved method for
examining q sample of water for con.
tamlnatioDs injurious to the public
heath. You will find, on compare
son with Or. Leeds analysis, that the
water Is In worse condition now
enun ~ was Wnen examined by him
last June, probably owing to the low
water In the b, b,andywine, from the
long drought from which we have suf.
fered during the past summer, DR..
Leeds found the water to conan
0,0l75 grains of Albuminoid Ammonia
per gallon. The Albumino:d Ammonia
Tree ammonia IN cdnnection with the
chlorine, are the real fact ors in the
Vaiaatlon OF this water as regards
health. My opinion is Con comparing
the results of my analysis with the
standard safety advanced by
the eminent chemists, Wancklyn
Chapman, Armstrong, sutton and
others) that the condition of the CITY
water supply at present is not only
deieterlous but dangerous to the pub
lie health, and that as far DIS possible
measures ought to 10 taken to ascer.
tain from what source the contamina>
tions come, and prevent them as far
as possible.
Respectfully Yours,
j. II. j. BUSH.
