Drinking-water.

No sensible person need be told that
pure water Is as essential TO good health
as pure air, and we cannot be too care
full OF that part of this most necessary
article of domestic economy to be used
In cooking and for drinking. Water
has an immense absorbing capacity, and
the colder it Is the greater the facility
with which II takes mp impure gases.
An open vessel of water will render the
air Of o room purer, but the water itseB
will in few hours be rendered totally
unfit for use by reason Of the fact thai
most all the earbonic acid gas and am
monia, the result Of respired gases, +
taken up by 1t. Hence, water for cook
ing or drinking should, II kept inside,
be in tightly covered vessels. Whars
wen or cistern water Is used the bettef
plan Is to keep the drinking pail on the
outside. Certain it Is that no prudent
housewife, knowing these facts, will
use water that has stood uncovered, for
any length Of time, In On unoccupied
room. When studying cleanliness and
ventilation, do not forget the Important
adjunct to comfort and health-pure

What to Do with the Dead.

The subject of cremation Is likely to
come to the front In Paris soon because
of the difficulty Of finding proper places
to inter the dead. 1t seems all the
available ground IN the cemeteries win
be used up by 1888. With the growth
Of large centers of population, this mat
ter ofthe proper disposition OF the dead
yearly becomes more troublesome. It
does not take long for graveyards to be-
come more populous than the cities
which supply them with occupants. One
Of two things must happen: either the
bodies be destroyed BY fire, or they
must be buried in the open fields, and
allowed to fertilize the soil, the memo
rails being kept in the family homes or
in churches. Cemeteries near large
cities in time necessarily are . nuisance,
and have to be removed to give place to
residences. The needs of the living, In
the long run, are more regarded than
the respect which ought to be felt for
the ashes of the dead.-Demorcst's

Tourists Who Infest Egypt

The Btllder, quoting correspondent
Of the DebGts, censures the conduct of
certain tourists who infest Egypt. "They
increase in number every year; reports
of revolution, insubordination in the
army and cholera are powerless to hinder
them; and those easy means of commu
nication, the steamers that now run fre-
quently up and down the Nile, bring in
larger numbers than ever the strangers
to see the ruins. Their presence, how
ever, is, we are sorry to hear, deeply re-
GREETED by the genuine archeologist. In
the thirty years that Egypt has been
thus visited, moro harm has been done
to its old buildings than in the centuries
of so much abused neglect which have
passed over the country. The destruc-
ton caused by the tourists Is really seri-
Gus; piece by piece the inscriptions and
the wall paintings have been Clipped
away to supply mementoes. M.
Charmes describes how, on visiting q
few days previously the valley Of the
kings, he found most barbarously mutt
lated the famous tomb of Seti l., which
was discovered by Belzoni; the alabas-
ter sarcophagus Is, it will be remem-
bered, at present in Sir John Soane's
museum. When Belzoni and Champol-
hon entered the tomb it was intact; not
o word of the inscribed text was want
ing; the wall-paintings were as fresh in
color as If painted the day before; now
the tomb Is nearly ruin, and in a few
years the destruction will be complete"
We may add to the remonstrance of our
contemporary the questions, How is it
possible to censure this wanton and
petty mischief when the removal of
noble obelisks to London and New York
Il thought worthy of applause and ma
tional honorsp What Is the difference
In stupidity between knocking off an
nose of statue, defacing tomb, or
rsvaging the inscription and carrying
away one or moro of the few obelisks

healthy people are apt TO feel, and disre-

Union Generates Balance Sheet.

Continental papers give some particu-
lars Of the balance sheet of the Union
Generate Company, which, il authentic,
are very startling. They bear
the semblance of truth, but must, of
course, be accepted with reserve until
the official report is made public. The
statement now current Is that the total
liability of the concern to the public is
under E8, 900, 600, the liabilities on de-
posits being but about "a, 500, 900, most
Of them being at fixed dates. There is
also said to be over e., SOC, 900 due to
the 'sparquet, or agents de change of
Paris. 1t had, in point of fact, no proper
banking business as we understand the
term, but in this respect resembles q
majority of its still living neighbors.
The enumeration Of its assets brings this
fact more fully to mind. The total as
sets are, it would appear, set down at q
little over f9, ,000, 900. Were these as
sets good, the bank would be solvent.
All the brag about huge profits and re-
serve would have disappeared, but the
capital of Fl, ,000, 900 paid up would be
intact, or nearly 50. But are the assets
goodP Everybody knows that they can
not be. The version now current puts
the debts due the company by the cou-
lisses of Paris and Lyons at f4 500, 900,
and it will be q fortunate thing for the
shareholders and creditors If half the
sum be received. Among the other
debts due the company, or ssassets" in
