Simple Tests for the Purity Of Wa,
ter.

In suspected potable water for per-
sons who cannot command chemical an
alysis, the following tests are recon-
mended as being generally available
and reliable.
Color-FM o bottle made Of color
less glass with the water; look through
the water at some black object; the wa
ter should appear perfectly colorless
and free from suspended matter. A
muddy or turbid appearance indicates
the presence of soluble organic matter,
or Of soluble matter in suspension. 1t
should be clear as crystal"
Odor-Empty out some OF the water,
leaving the bottle half full; cork up the
bottle and place it for a few hours in a
warm place; shake up the water, remove
the cork aud critically smell the air con-
tanned in the bottle. If it has any smell,
and especially if the edor is in the least
repulsive, the water should be rejected
for domestic use. By heating the water
to boiling, an odor is evolved sometimes
that otherwise does not appear,
Taste-Water fresh from the we'll is
usually tasteless, even though it may
contain q large amount of putrescible
organic matter. Water for domestic
use should he perfectly tasteless., and
remain so even after it has been warmed
! Sinoe warming often develops q taste in

water which is tasteless when cold. II
the water, at any time, has a repulsive
or ave disagreeable taste, it should be
rejected.
Heisch's Test for Sewage Contamin-
ation-The delicacy of the sense of
smell or taste varies greatly in different
individuals; n person may fail to de-
tect the foul contamination of a given
water, which would be very evident to
a person of finer organization. But if
the cause of bad smell or taste exists in
water, the injurious effect on health will
remain the same, whether recognized or
not. Moreover, some water of very
dangerous quality will fail to give any
indication by smell or taste. For these
reasons l attach special Importance to
Heich'st test for sewage contamination or
the presence of putrescible organic mat
ter. The test is so simple that any one
can useit. Fill a clean pint bottle three
fourths full of the water to be tested,
and dissolve in the water q te%aspoonful
of the purest sugar-loaf or granulated
sugar will answer cork the bottle and
place it in q warm place for two days.
II in t%wenty-four to forty-eight hours
the water becomes cloudy or muddy, it
is unfit for domestic use. If it remains
perfectly clear it is probably safe to use.

Vitality OF Seeds.

The farmer or gardner should run nc
risk in seeds in preparing for a crop.
Reliable seed stores never sell at ran
dom, nor will they sell seeds after they
have lost their vitality by age. Such
stores frequently have large surplus OF
seeds left over, some of which are just as
good at two, three, or even ten years
of age as when fresh. But there are q ma
jority of seeds though they may make a
limited and feeble growth, have not the
strength and vigor to produce strong
shoots or crops, So we say, don't buy
old seeds. And q large portion of those
placed at stores and groceries to be
sold on commission are Of the lots saved
over from last year, or
from some seed raiser
who sells without testing his seeds after
the winter is passed. Prof. BeaI, of the
Michigan Agricultural College, tried the
sion, obtaining lots from various places.
He found that from twenty-five to forty
five per cent. of the seeds grew with the
best of planting and careful attention so
that thereafter the college bought no
more garden seeds which are sold on
commission. Lately We have heard
men claiming that they had seed corr
three years old just as good as it was
two years ago. 1t is true seed corn two
years old will grow if it had extra care,
but not as certainly nor near as vigorous
as the first spring after it is gathered.
And we would discourage tho planting
of two years old seed, if any good seed
| could be had for three or four dollars
per bushel.-Des Moines Register.

Hard-wooa Floors.

The Decorator and Furnisher makes
a very sensible protest against the use
of very hard drying varnish for hard
wood floors. Such fine hard finish
"must and will scratch up with the nails
in boots, every mark being permanent
lat least it stays until the floor is
again vanished, which those who have
had experience know to be quite a job.
Therefore The finish must be something
that is soft without being sticky, SO
that whatever marks occur on the sur
face can easily be removed with n brush
or cloth--someshing, in fact, that
will work like the old-fashioned
beeswax. without the exces-
sive work necessary to apply and polish
it, and yet be free from the sickness
attending the use of that article" There
is a a finish which is said to answer
these conditions. With a new floor
"the first thing to do after the floors are
smoothed and sandpspered is to fill the
grain of the wood thoroughly with some
good patent filler, and the grain OF the
wood is brought out much better by
using a dark filler, which fills in the soft
porous parts of the wood, and when it
is wiped off, the close, hard portions
make a very pretty shading, and con
trast with the darker portions" The
lighter woods, oak, ash and yellow pine
keep their good looks longer, under
proper vanish, than the darker floors.

What so-called straightforward

In Friendship" Ouida puts her
finger upon the exact line which divides
social life from all other kinds of life.
For indeed man is both a social and an
unsocial animal; there are times when
he Graves companionship, and times
when he wishes tie be alone. To regu-
late this ebb and flow, and to give con-
tinuity to the social instinct-this, and
this only, is the function of society. In
very truth, society is little more than q
huge club. As Guide says: "There
are many things to be got by society,
and yet, after allit asks very little. So
ciety only asks you to wipe the outside
of your cup and platter; inside you may
keep any kind of nastiness that you
like, only wash the outside; do wash
the outside, says Society; and
it would be a churl or an
ass, indeed, who would refuse so reason
able a request" Now, there Is much
truth here bitterly expressed. Society
is not directly governed by the laws OF
either God or man, but governed by its
own laws. Is a man q scoundrel? If
so, can you and are you willing to prove
it, not merely to the satisfaction of your
own friends, but in an open aud notori-
GUS way, so that Society may know it,
and be authorized to make the necessary
moral distinctions? Society is not i'm
moral; rather is it immoral. And so it
happens that q woman may be the mis-
tress of your best friend, and yet, if she
be only suspected, if she pays all her
party calls, she will remain in society,
not because society loves sin, but be-
cause sometimes it is utterly unable to
exclude it.-Argonant.

Raising TURKEYS.

No surer crop can be raised, SO far Ms
the sale is concerned, than that of Tur-
keys. If a farmer has reasonable "luck
that is, if he has as good luck as gen.
orally comes of intelligent care-he can
make 1000 pounds of Turkey meat for
800 easily, and sell The same for 5000.
This allows q high estimate for grain,
for a flock of 100, $65 would cover the
grain fed. If they are killed before
Thanksgiving they ought to average
twelve pounds each which makes ], 200
in all. They will market at 20 centa
per pound three years out of five, CIV
ing a net of $40. Allowing $40 TO,
loss or lower prices there is still q com.
Portable margin of $135 to pay for the
trouble. In raising them afford every
facility for the sitting of the turkeys
as early Us possible. Early, turkeys are
twice as likely to live as late ones.
When the young comes off, put them j n
little board pens in a warm
place for q week or more, feeding them
six or eight times a day with coarse
meal and chopped hard boiled eggs
mixed with water, or, what is better,
SOUR mix. As soon rs they are strong
enough, give them q pasture range al
first, then turn them into a meadow,
but by all means feed them at noon,
and to this end drive them up to the
house. This will get them accustomed
to coming up for their dinner, and SO
they will not go far from home. See
that they are always fully FED and safe
ly housed at night, SO that foxes and
skunks will not and cannot destroy them,
Make it a matter of thought to see that
your turkeys are safe oil summer. Be-
gin to fatten in September and kill for
Thanksgiving, and you will be able to
put o few dollars in some near savings
bank which you may honestly call a
for your are and work apS ,fofit on
the grain feed. This business is not
likely to be overdone, and therein Lies
the profit.

A Woman Equal to the Occasion.

Ihave just heard, says a London corr
respondent Of the New York Tribune,
an amusing story of a man, who, fresh
from India, where he had been for some
years, was not skilled in the great SUBJ
ject, who's who?" Being invited to
the dinner-table of a gentleman who is
somewhat rough and ready in manner,
our friend, who is heir to a title, accepts
ed,not without some condescension, fan
cying that his Amphitryon occupied a
position on the social ladder many de-
grees inferior to his own. The even
ing came, and with it the dinner, which
was excellent. Our friend, however, on
whom certain niceties of French cookery
We're thrown away,,nnd whom all the
titles of England would never make o

were not present, and finally demanded
o brandy-and-soda. His hostess was
quite equal to the occasion. Remember
ing the sacred laws of hospitality, she
desired her servants, by small assent.
ing mods, to bring him all that he asked
for, which they did. He had his b.
anl-s. before the ladies left the room.
Nothing ofparticular moment happened
in the drawing-room until the guests
were leaving, when the lady Of the
house shook hands with her trouble
some guest, and said very quitely,
though equally distinctly: Goodnight.
Mil thank you for having given
us the pleasure Of your company fol-
the irst--and last-time." The las.
three words rang through the room
clearly as the tones of q silver bell, and
the story is ringing through London
still. The gentleman had unwittingly
displayed his hotel manners at one OF
the most distinguished dinner-tables
in q country where dinner giving may
be said to be the national form Of hos
pitality.

Love Making In Mexico.

Love making in Mexicoi is q desperate
passion--it is no trihing bit of senti-
ment. The Mexican is an animal Of
rude instincts in this matter. In fact
Mexicans-I mean the ruling class, the
men with white bloodin their veins do
not trust each other. As arule not one
Of them will trust any other a moment
alone either with his wife or daughter.
Before marriage the girl is kept I'M
der constant vigilance, not permitted
to speak to her lover till he has courted
her for months from his perch on horse
back, or to be in his presence alone IN
til after marriage. At marriage the
father hands over the keys to
his daughters husband and the
Imprisonment is even more rigorous.
For q married woman to receive any
man alone in her parlor, even once, is
enough to enrage her husband and COM
promise her reputation. For the Mex
lean and Spaniard assume that men
and women are always vicious if they
have an opportunity. I know
of a lady at the Hotel Anglais here who
stays in her room constantly-as con-
stantly rs if the door were locked.
leT meals are sent TO her ana she does
not cross the threshold of her room
from one week to another, excepting to
mass On Sunday. If q Spaniard should
call upon her and succeed in getting in
to her room, ven to inquire about her
husband, it might seriously damage her
goodname.
In sonme cities of the Republic q
curious habit prevails Of compliment
ing unknown ladies on the street. OF
course the lady is accompanied by ia
Their, brother, or duenna' and it is con-
sidered by all parties quite proper for
the passing admirer to say: "How pref
ty she is! !" "What q dainty hand!" or
What fine eyes!" or "What a lovely
footl" Then the object of admiration
turns and says to the stranger with her
sweetestsmile: "Mille gracias, Senorw

Hawthorne's Suppressed Stories.
Julian Hawthorne in the May Century

The witches always had a special in
terest or fascination for my father. as
might be inferred from the character
and tone Of the illusions to them in his
published writings. But it is perhaps not
generally known that he wrote q num-
Der Of tales having witches for their
subject matter that were said by the one
or Two persons who saw them to be
more powerful as conceptions of weird
and fantastic horror than anything is
the printed volumes of short stories.
But these tales never emerged from the
manuscript state and were finally
burned by their author, because, as nv
mother told me he had explained to
her, he felt that they were not true.
That is, suppose, they embodied no
moral truth; they were mere imagina-
tive narratives, founded on history and
tradition, and had not the spiritual bal
ance and proportion of what Hawthorne
would deem 3 work of art.

shall stop the paper" The angry sub
scriber was not to be appeased, and
they separated. Late in the afternoon
the two met again, when MI. Greeley

"Mr. Thompson, I am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this morn
ming"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, you said you were going to
stop my paper"
"And SO / did. I went to the Office
and had your paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken. I have
just come from there, and the press was
running and business booming"
"Sir," said Thomson, very pompously,
II meant I intended to stop my sub
scription to your paper"
"Ow rejoined Greeley; II thought you
were going to stop the running of my

How to Be A Good Wife.

Marriage with q worthy man Is wo-
mans privilege, and her best and highest
development, mental and physical, can
be attained in this state. Men and wo-
men were made for each other, and o
very old, but nevertheless a true tru-
ism, is, that a happy marriage is the
very garden of Eden. An unhappy
marriage is the reverse, and the greatest
of all calamaties that can befall a pure,
affectionate, and noble womnn Faith
in God, and q strong resolve to do
every duty, can alone keep such q one
from absolute despair. Miss ".Braddon"
says, "a good women who does not love
her husband makes the best
wife" If this is true, it is
because she is controlled by duty,
instead of the changing caprices Of effec-
hon. "Trouble in the fesh" will come to
every married couple. Why not ex-
poet it? The most wretched married
people 1 have ever known, we're always
quite willing, and even eager, to see their
children settled for life in marriage,
knowing that they would find shelter
and protection thereby, if not in the af-
lection at least by the law, which COM
pels the husband to support the wife
. support perhaps meagre enough and
grudgingly bestowed. Look around on
all your friends, married or single, and
ask yourselves the question, which is
the preferable lot? If you are strong
enough to fight alone the battle of life,
to earn your own bread and butter, you
are just in the condition to gain the re-
spect at least of a husband, and having
q hearty genuine respect, admiration
and love r not far distant. The truth
is, dear girls, too many enter this holy
condition hoping to fnd in it only ease,
adulation and pleasure. Such per-
sons will find the reverse Of what they
seek. Read Tennyson's princes"
Had not he the true conception of hap
piness in this condition?

spects herself! AS q rule, q good wo.
