Simple Tests for the Purity of Water.

In suspected potable water for persons
who cannot command chemical analysis,
the following tests are recommended as
being generally available and reliable:
Color.-Fill a bottle made of colorless
glass with the water; look through the
water at some black object. The water
should appear perfectly colorless and free
from suspended matter A muddy. or tur-
bid appearance indicates the presence OF
soluble organic matter, or of soluble mat
ter 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 few hours in a
warm place; shake up the water, remove
, the cork, and critically smell the air con-
tanned in the bottle. If it has any smell,
and especially if the odor is in the least re-
pulsiYe, the water should be rejected for
domestic use. BY heating the water to boil
ing an odor is evolved sometimes that 9TH
erwise docs not appear.
Taste.-Water fresh from the well is usu-
ally tasteless, even though it may contain
large amount of putrescible organic mat
ter. Water for domestic use should be
perfectly tasteless, and remain so even after
1t has been warmed since warming often
develops taste in water which is tastcless
when cold. If the water at any time has
! a repulsive, or even disagreeable taste it
should be rejected Scientific Press.

A Trick on a spider.

A great many years ago a prisoner OF
state who was allowed to cheer the solitude
of his dungeon by playing on his flute, dis
covered after while that, every time he
! played, a great number of spiders gathered
about him. Since then the liking of spiders
for music has been proved. / had often
wished to play for spider audience, but |
was not well enough acquainted with any
musical instrument to coax a tune out
of it.
A scientific gentleman of Europe gave
me a valuable hint by an experiment of
his own. He used tuning-fork Now |
can play tuning-fork as well as anybody
procured a tuning-fork and then sought
out spider | found a handsome, brand
new web, and though | did not see Mistress
Epeira, | knew she must be at home. Es-
petra diadema is her full name, though
most persons call her garden spider. 1t
is she who makes those beautiful, wheel
like webs which festoon the rose-buShes
and trees
As have said, Madame Spider was not
visible. | knew, however, she must be in
her gossamer parlor, which is attached to
her web
Here was a good chance to try tuning
fork music. l raped the fork on stone,
and in a moment a soft, melOdious hum
filled the air. | touched one Of the spokes
of the web with the fork. On the instant
madame flew out of the parlor in great
haste, hesitated a moment at the outer edge
Of the web, and then, instead of going
straight to the tuning fork ran to the very
center of the web.
When there she quickly caught hold of
each of the spokes one after the other and
gave it a little tug as boy does his fishing
line to see if a fish is hooked Each was
passed by until she came to the spoke upon
which the humming fork rested There
she stopped, and it was easy TO see she was
excited She gave the whole web a shake ;
then tugged at the spoke again. Hum
m-m-m" still sang the fork, rather family
now, however.
Madame was satisfied. Her mind was
made up. Down she darted and caught
the end of the fork in her arms. She tried
to bite into the hard metal, and at the
same time she spun web of silk around
and around the two prongs, which by this
time had ceased vibrating.
| pulled the fork away, and Madame
Epeira retired in disappointment to the
center of the web. But if she was disap-
pointed, so was /, for | was satisfied that it
was not the music Of the fork that had at
tracted her. Unfortunately, it was alto
gether too probable that she mistook the
hum Of the fork for the buzz Of fly-a sort
of music no doubt very sweet to her.
Time after time | repeated the expert
ment with the fork, touching in turn each
spoke of the web, and each time Madame
Spider was deluded into trying TO capture
the tuning-fork. 1t was odd that she did
not learn wisdom by repeated dIsappoint-
ment.-lSt. Nicholas

The Emperor's Kingdom.

Emperor William of Germany has cele-
brated his eighty-fifth birthday, and he is
hale, hearty, with good digestion and a fair
capacity for business. While King of Prus-
STA he said to his physician, Garry me past
seventy and l will give you title" On his
SEVENTEEN birthday the King made the
doctor Baron.
Garry me up to eighty" said the mon
arch, and | will elevate you still higher -
The physician was made a Prince of the
Empire on the Emperor's eightieth birth
day.
Ny children, I'm ashamed of you. Do
you wish to live forever" exclaimed Fred
erick the Great, when once his guards way
cred in battle. The Emperor evidently
does not sympathize with his ancestors
sentiment.
The amount of fatigue which the aged
monarch can endure is such as would stag
ger much younger man not gifted with a
similar working constitution. He rises
early, devoteS the forenoon to affairs of
state drives out i'll the afternoon in a one
horse cabriolet and devotes the evening to
hospitality and official work
Kaiser William looks every inch a
King He is six feet in hight, well pro-
portioned, and weighs $50 pounds. His
mother, the Queen Louise, who bearded
Napoleon III Denall OF ner conquered cOlln-
try was the handsomest woman in Eu-
rope. The Emperor in his best days was
noted for his manly beauty.
An anecdote brings to light the genial
side of the royal octogenarian. While
staying at Ems to drink its famous water,
the Emperor visited an orphan asylum
After listening to the Rotations of the
children he lifted bright little girl of six
years into his lap and said, Now my little
fraulein, let me see how well you have been
taught To what kingdom does this be-
long?" and he held up an orange.
Looking up timidly into the Emperor
face the little one replied, To the vegeta-
BILE kingdom"
Very good, little fraulein And now
tell me to what kingdom does this be-
long?' and he held up a gold piece.
ITO the mineral kingdom"
Better and better, little fraulein Now
look at me and say to what kingdom do l
belong?"
The little girl hesitated Was the great
Emperor an animal? They were little
startled. With a half-frightened look she
turned to the Emperor and said, ITO the
kingdom of heaven
" YeS, yes, my little fraulein,' answered
the Emperor, with tears in his eyes, 81 trust
l do belong to Gods kingdom. And you
think ii is time | was there, do you not?
Well, the day is not far distant. - Youths

an enormous amount to. build, and several
thousands are yearly expended on its main
tenance. 1t Is s~umptuously furnished in

lures; and there it stands year after year, no
body ever entering in it, except on four aft
ernoons when drawing-rooms are held, and
on four evenings when state balls or concerts
are given. 1t ought either to be understood
that this palace should be open to royal visi-
tors of high rank, or it should be converted
into a hospital or museum. The vast sum
which the queen receives every year from the
country is not given to DO boarded up, but is
intended to maintain the state and dignity

a most unpleasant reputation abroad for
extreme parsimony. and ono would thinh
