THE GREAT SMITH FILTER.

How a Gentleman of That Name Sc
cures Pure Water for Family Use.
81 tell you, Smith, Pve got this filtering
business down ine,' remarked an elderly
gentleman on the Nantasket boat within
hearing of Boston Globe reporter.
elbow do you do it" asked 'Smith," de-
posting a number of bundles on camp
stool and lighting cigar.
''Just this way. Itook common water
pail, and bored a lot of holes in the bottom
of it, about as large as scent pieces.
Then / got my wife to make fine muslin
bag, a little larger than the bottom of the
pail, and about an inch in height. Then
| filled the bag with some fine clear sand,
that | bought at a glass factory, and
placed it in the pail, pressing the edges of
the bag against the sides of the pail. Then
poured in the water and 1t came through
as clear as a bell. Never saw anything
work finer. OF course, it's nothing more
than good strainer, but it takes out lots
of impurities, tell you."
'sThat is all we'll enough" said Smith;
'sbut you can't tell by the looks of water
how good it is. 1t may be good to look at,
and yet full of substances more or less
injurious to health. I'll tell you how
made my filter. It's perfect, think, and
only cost about 81. | bought common
galvanized iron pail for 90 cents. This
took to tinman and had him cut hole
in the bottom and solder around 1t, on the
outside, piece of tin about three-quarters
of an inch deep, so as TO direct the flow
of water in uniform direction. Then
got two quarts of small stones, at store
where material for roofing is sold, and,
after a good washing, placed them in the
bottom of the pail, which they filled to the
depth of about two inches. On these L
placed a partition of Canton flannel, cut
to fit the pail. Over this l placed layer
of animal charcoal, about the size of gum
powder grains, such as is commonly
called bOne-black. This layer made three
or four inches thick, covering it with a
second partition. Over this placed
three-inch layer of sand, as clean and
fine as | could get, and. covering it with
another partition. added another layer of
fine stones or shingle, about three inches
thick. This last layer served as a weight
to keep the upper partition IN place.
That's all there is to it. Careful as l was
in washing all the material, / knew
there'd be some dust left, which would
have to be washed through, and so | ran
fifteen or twenty bucketfuls of water
through it before using it. The next day
it was all rigat, and water comes through
it now freed from all impurities. 1t will
even take away the yeliowish color to
water, something that is very difficult to
remove with ordinary filters. | renew
the tiltering material and also the par
titiOns at long intervals. It's all nonsense
to talk about Eself-cleansing' filters. In
my opinion no filter should be used which
cannot be readily taken apart and

ALMOST YOUNG MERMAIDs.
Girls of 12 and Is Swimming Like Pro
fessionals.

Girls of 12 and Is Swimming Like Pro-
fessiOnals.
The Misses Kate and Teresa Bennett,
says the New York Times, have a swim
ming school at Fort Hamilton this season.
a long pier runs out to the spot where the
building is moored, just above the fort.
This was thrOnged a few evenings ago,
the gathering being made up for the most
part of ladies. At 4:30 O'Clock chubby
little girl in pink costume and thin
and taller girl in dark blue suit came
out of the house and got Into a skiff. The
first was Emma ROsenheim, the 12-year-
old daughter of j. 7. ROsenheim, the
President of the London Needle COmpa-
ny, and the other was Kate Kelly, Is
years old, both Of this city. The boat in
which they took seats was pulled over to
Fort Lafayette, quarter of a mile dis
tant.
The tide was running in pretty strong,
and there was considerable of swell on,
but the girls did not hesitate. They
plunged boldly into the water and started
back for the baths. The tide was so
strong that it threatened to carry them far
above the baths, but they buffeted against
it and reached them In as good form as the
half-dozen men who accompanied them in
the water. The young swimmers were re-
ceived with long-cOntinued applause by
the ladies on the pier. The girls then
went into the ladies' bath and gave an eX-
hibitiOn of fancy swimming. Kate Kelly's
swimming under water was something re-
markable, while Emma Rosenheim, by her
precocity, amused the crowd for an hour.
She swan around the bath eating
cracker without getting so much as a
drop of water on it. She reposed in the
water like sleeping beauty, and received
a bouquet in the manner of prima dom
ma, throwing kisses in return for it. Miss
Kate Bennett gave her an imitation cigar,
and this she stuck in her mouth, while she
put her fingers in the armholes of her cos
tune to represent Gen. Grant. She also
swan with her hands and feet tied.
Annie and Ellen, the daughter of Capt.
Jack Hussey, the life-saYer of Castle Gar
den, also gave an exhibition of swimming.
The father of Emma Roscnheim, very
jolly man, cannot swim, but her mother
is an expert swimmer. Eddie, the 10
year-old brother of the little girl, can
swim three miles, and is wonderfully
clever at pulling an oar. The men in Mr..
William p. Benefits class are to swim to
Fort Wadsworth and back, about seven
miles, for the Bennett gold medal.

.sTHE ALoALDE.,
A Functionary of the Early West, and
School Teacher Who Emulated Him.

A Functionary of the Early West, and
School Teacher Who Emulated Him.
The first Alcalde of Nevada City, says
the Boston Star, was elected by a voting
population of $50, but in many camps ten
or dozen men chose this peculiar and
all-powerful officer, giving him all the
powers granted under the Mexican and
early Spanish system. He became the
Judge Of the village, the petty lord of the
tented town. and only the voice OF the
people could bring his powers to an end.
Brief though the reign Of the Alcaldes
was, it left deep impress upon society,
as a story will illustrate. The writer
once knew a California school teacher,
man of mighty muscles and great energy,
who had spent his boyhood in placer
mining in Siskiou, in cattle raising on the
Eastern Oregon uplands, and In Indian
fighting and wild prospecting tours along
the frontiers of British Columbia. When
the war broke cut he rode for Mis-
souri,, crossed the lines, Joined a
Virginia regiment, and came back so
crippled and battered that the old free,
careless life was impossible. Always
great reader and close student, he turned
to the school room and won a reputation
over three counties as successful teach
er. Under these circumstances he was
called to take charge of what was, with
undoubt Justice, called the worst school
in Northern California. The trustee had
written to him at his cabin, perched on
pine clad height of the Sierra, trout
streams within a stones throw, grouse In
the woods, and deer and bear, his gun and
rod, his "Marcus Aurelius" and "Noctes
AmbTOsiana' on the shelf within reach.
He saddled his horse, and, rising at day
break, reached the village, once a min
l.o.co Ngr hor Cah
was called to order he found that efficient
work demanded a reclassificatien, for the
previous teacher had tried to gain cheap
favor by advancing grades and skipping
the hard places, and had come to grief by
begging a large boy not to smoke a ciga-
rette in school. The playful lads ducked
him in the adjacent stream, sousing him
up and down till he escaped, waded to the
farther bank, and sought other pastures.
But the new teacher was OF sterner ma
terial.
81 shall have an examination to-day to
see where you belong, and must turn you
back in your grades il you deserve it," he
said.
A loud murmur of discomfort and al
most open rebellion followed. Nothing
abashed, the teacher made his first and
last speech. He took from the table a
book and addressed an older pupil:
"Do you know what this isp
''Yes, sir; the school law"
''And it defines the grades, and you all
think you have passed the examinations,
and that can't go behind the law?"
Eyes, sir.''
every we'll Now you are quite mis-
taken. l am the Alcalde of this school,
1 am Sheriff, and Register, and judge and
jury, and absolute fnality here"
And with this revolutionary and COM
law out of the window, and proceeded,
amid an awe-struck throng, to break up
and consolidate class after class, reorgan-
iZing the school ON his own system.

lightning Casualties.

A couple of weeks ago the Insurance
Chronicle contained some interesting
facts relative to the number of suicides
in this country. In its last issue it pre-
sents some valuable information respect
ing lightning strokes. In this immediate
vicinity thunderstorms have been more
frequent than usual this summer, and
the thunder has been heavy and the
lightning sharp. In this State number
of people have been killed since June l
by lightning. and many buildings, of one
kind and another, destroyed The records
Of the Insurance Chronicle have not, of
course, been made up for the
present year. The records, how
ever, show that in 1882 lightning caused
2I7 important fires in the United States
and pa in 1888. There is no doubt that
the number for the present year will be
much greater than for any previous
year, because thunder storms nave
been unusually frequent and severe up to
the present time, and it is not improbable
that August will show a gOOdly number
Of thunderbOlt casualties. According to
charts prepared by the Insurance Chronicle
for 1882 and 1888, lightning strokes are
chiefly confined to the region Of country
north of the Ohio river and east of the
Missouri river. In the two years 80
per cent. of the strokes were in that re-
gion. 1t seems that lightning strokes are
rather uncommon in the South, except in
the three States of Louisiana, Texas and
Georgia. The two principal centres Of
electrical disturbance are in New Eng
land and the Northwestern States. OF
the lightning casualties, twO-thirds Oc-
cur in the summer and One-third in
spring and autumn. With reference to
the character of property that is destroyed
by fire caused by lightning the Chronicle
says: ''The property subjected to this
destruction is mainly situated in the rural
regions, and embraces barns, dwellings
and churches. The question has been
asked a number of times why lightning
should show the remarkable preference
that it does for barns and granaries. One
explanation to this phenomenon by a
Western underwater was to the effect
that the hay and grain, with which they
are stored, or the vapOr arising from grain
in a damp state, was the attracting influ-
ence. But it is difficult to accept this
theory. since lightning is most festive in
July, during which month barns and
granaries are generally empty. Again,
when they are filled with fresh grain, as
in he autumn months, there is no evil
dence that lightning is more common
than in the spring."

Mr.. Vanderbilt's Cheap Ride.


eyes, this is a fine evening"" remarked
a Broadway stage driver as he put a
nickel into his pocket. The stage ratified
on, and passed a black-and-tan carriage
of the New York Cab Company.
''DO these new cabs take away any OF
your customers?" asked the passenger.
E'NO, none of ours, but they takes away
many from the regular cabmen; but l
know of one cheap cabman who wished
he'd never been born"
"Why, how is thatW
swell, you see, he was drivin' slowly
up Broadway, and who should get into
his cab but Vanderbilt. He told him
where to drive, am when he got to the
door Vanderbilt asked him how much
was the fare. 'One dollar.' says the
driver. What! one dollar" says Van
derbilt; is it possiblep yes, one dol
lar, am don't you forgit it, says the
driver, who was mad. 'Well,' says Van
derbilt, Il always paid $5,' as he handed
the man a cart-wheel and went INTO the
house. Then the driver recognized Van
derbilt, an was mad as blazes, for he
might have got a ten-dollar bill out of
him. So he gets down and kicks himself
black and blue, and then he bought a
razor and cut off his own ears. That's a
fact. sir: l seen him without the ears"

Mr.. A. o. Bacon, of Macon, and Mr..
Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, were among
the speakers at the Manhattan Club re-
ceptiOn in New York on Thursday night
last. Mr.. Bacon, in the course of his re-
marks, said that the Democratic party
was a party of principles. 1t has always
stood by the principles Of the fathers.
Continuing he said:
We Of the South are most fOrcibly re-
minded of this. We could have got spOils
by selling out our loyalty. Our young
men have been tempted in every way TO
desert their faith, but-hOnor to them for
it-they never wayereu.
Mr.. Walsh felt sure that the voice of the
American people was speaking for Cleve-
lands election.
No man, he said, could say that CleYe-
lands nomination was the result in any
measure OF machine politics. So far as
the South was concerned his nomination
was the result Of a spontaneous cOnvic-
ton that he was the man for the hour. All
sectiOnalism should be buried and the
country stand upon such platform as the
Democratic party presented. All honest
men, irrespective of party, could stand
upOn that platform. vote for its nominees,
ana feel that with Gov. Cleveland they
would have honesty OF reform in the adj
ministratiOn of the country.
