Hard and Soft Water.

You often hear OF water Tor household
purposes being called "hard'' and ''sOft."
The reason why some waters, especially
spring water, are hard is owing to the
mineral matters dissolved in them
Rain water is never "hard," because it
is nearly free of solid matter. The rea-
son you had such an uncomfortable
wash and shave this morning at your
friends house was owing to the water
being largely charged with lime and
magnesia, and forms compounds which
the water cannot dissolve; and hence
the provoking curdiness you observed.
For the lather to be a perfect one, csm-
plete solution of the constituents of the
soap must take place, and in pure water
this would be the case. But some
waters are permanently hard, while
some are only temporarily so. Perma-
nent hardness is caused when the water
is charged with sulphate of lime and
magnesia. Pure water dissOlves the
sulphates, but not the carbOnates. Then
how do the carbonates come to be in the
water at alp The reason is this: All
natural waters, but especially spring
and we'll water, contain more or less
free carbonic acid gas in a state of alb
sorption, and, when thus charged, are
capable of dissolving the carbOnates;
but whenever this gas is expelled from
the water, say by boiling it, the carbon
ates are at once deposited; and this &C
counts for the incrustatiOn in the kettle;
and when this takes place the water be-
comes quite soft. The boiling does not
affect the sulphates to any degree in this
way in water that is permanently
'.hard'' Temporarily hard water can
be made soft by more means than boiling
alone. If tubful of it at night be stirred
up with little "slaked'' lime and allow
cd to settle, In the morning there will be
| white deposit at the bottom of the
tub, and the water will be found to be
quite "soft," because the lime added
will combine with the free carbOnic-acid
gas in the water, and the whole of the
carbOnates will become deposited, in
virtue Of their insolubility in water with
| out this gas.
For drinking purposes, rain-water, at
ter being passed through a charcoal ill
| ter, to remove the organic matter 1t con-
tains, is the most wholesome for adults.
The general objection is its tastelessness.
| A pinch of salt will remedy this. For
the young. however, solid matter in the
water. Of tho right kind, such rs lime
and magnesia, il good, as these 60 to

child. Chambers Journal.
