In suspected potable water for persons who
cannot command chemical analysis, the follow
ing tests are recommended as being generally
available and reliable:
Color. Pill a bottle made of ~colorless glass
with the water: look through the water at some
black object; the water should appear perfectly
eolorless and free from suspended matter. A
muddy or tTrbd appearance indicates the pres
ence 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 n warm place; shake up
the water. remove the cork and critically smell
the air contained in the bottle. If it has any
smell, and especially if the odor is in the least
repulsive, the water should be rejected for
domestic use. By heating the water to boiling,
nm Odor Is evolved sometimes that otherwise
does not appear.
Taste.-Water fresh from the well is usually
tasteless, even though 1T may contain a large
amount of putrescible Organic matter. Water
for domestic use should be perfectly ~tasteless,
and remain so even after it has been warmed,
since warming often develops d taste in water
which is tasteless when cold. If the water, at
any time, has a repnlsive or even disagpeeable
taste, it should be rejected.
Heisch'S Test for Sewage Contamination. THE
delieaey of the sense of smell or taste varies
greatly in different individuals; one person may
fail to detect 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 viii remain the same, whether
recognized or not. Moreover. some water of
very dangerous quality will fail to give any indi
cation by smell Or taste. For these reasons |
attach special importance to Heisch's test FOR
sewage contamination or the presence of pntres-
eible organic matter. The test is so simple that
any one can use it. Fill a clean pint bottle
threefolrths full of the water to be tested, and
dissolve in the water a te%aspoonful Of the purest
sugar-loaf or granulated sugar will answer
cork the bottle and place it in a warm place for
two DAYS. If in twenty-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.

County,

MARTINsvILLE, April s The election passed
Jf quietly yesterday, but the result was a thun-
ler-clap to Democracy. The returns from
doubtful townships could not be obtained last
%3vening, but the Republican gains in other town
hips cheered Republicans with hope and made
Democrats sick. Returns this morning give old
Morgan eight Republican and six Democratic
trustees, a Republican gain of three trustees
over the last election, and a gain of 800 Republi-
can votes as compared with the election two
years ago. Gallant races were made by A. r.
Vansickle, of Washington; John E.. Balm, of JET
f@erson; J. II. Henry, of Baker, and DR.. R. c..
Griffith, Of Jackson. Republicans are ~jubilant
over the results, and can promise a big majority
in Morgan for Republican candidates next fall.

Cincinnati.

CINcINNATI, April S.-Returns from fifty
seven Of the sixty-one voting places in the city
show the election of the entire Democratic
ticket, with the exception of clerk of the Police
Court, by majorities of from 400 to 800. Rich
ards, Republican, for clerk of the Police Court,
will have about 300 majority. The municipal
reform ticket polled about 500 votes. The
Democrats elected twelve of twenty-five council
men, a Republican gain of four. The twelve al
dermen who were elected in the two ahermanic
districts are all Democrats, and as the members
of the other three districts holding over are all
Democrats, the entire board is Democratic.
There is a strong Democratic majority in the
Comman Council.
Unofficial returns are in from all precincts but
one, and an estimate from that gives the follow
ing plnralities: Peck, Dem, Superior Court, 400;
Heron, Dem, Board of Public Works, 426; Rich
ards, Rep, clerk Police Court, ,229; Herman,
Dem, director infirmary. 12l; Cronin, Dem,
wharf master, 469. -Four Democratic members of
the Board of Education are elected, one with a
majority of onlytwelve votes. In the Fourth alder
manic district only three Democrats are elected,
two Republicans, and for the sixth place there
is a tie between two Republicans. The Common
Council will stand: Aldermen, Democrats, p,
Republicans, 3; ceuncilmen, Democrats, 20, Re
pnblcans, 30; joint ballot, Democrats, AZ, Re
publicans, 80. The peculiarly in the vote of
the Sixth ward gives rise to suggestions of a con
test. While the total vote everywhere else is %
per cent. less than last fall, this ward polls 40
votes more than it did then. Hoadly had a ma
iority of 1868; now the Democratic majority
is 95l. There is also a complaint of irregularity
in regard to this ward and in the Twelfth ward.
Reports from small towns throughout Ohio
say the elections yesterday turned mostly on
local issues. Gains and losses are about equal
between the Democrats and Republicans.
Throughout the State the reports show that
Republicans gain in most of the larger cities.
Springfield shows a considerable Democratic

kaDle special.
Mr. Clifford Lloyd, the present Egyptian
under secretary, has apparently reached the end
of his string. He was given his present office in
reward for his efficiency while resident magis-
trate in Ireland in eonvicting Irish Invincib1es.
In Egypt he has not only succeeded in antagoniz-
ing the entire Egyptian Cabinet, but he has
brought down upon his head the wrath of a
large section of the Tories, with whom he was
rather a farorite when he was known as merely
a severe Judge in Ireland. The Tories now say
that the English government having set up
the administration of Prime Minister Nubar
Pasha, last January, was responsible
for its maintenance and should not
have allowed 1t to be wrecked by the
bumptiousness of this young man, who has made
1T SO intolerable, first, for his immediate super
ior, Sabet Pasha, Minister of the Interior, and
now for the Premier, Nub Pasha, as to force
both into resigning. They sympathize thor
oughly with Nubar Pasha, and they say that il
viii be impossible to find another man so fit to
head the Egyptian administration. Ii, therefore,
he finds it impossible to continue in Office be-
cause of Mr.. Lloyd, the latter should be dis
missed. Mr.. lloyd seems also to have made
himself intensely unpopular among all classes in
Egypt. and loud and frequent demands for his
dismissal are made by the natives, by French
and Italian resident merchants, and by many
EngliShmen.

wrinkles-Their Cause and Cure.


Wrinkles give an appearance of age. and usu-
ally come ON as people get older, or as a conse-
quence of using large quantities of powder, a
habit remarkably offensive to men, whatever
foolish women may think of it. A little powder
to prevent chatting in cold weather, or after
washing when the face or neck have been eK-
posed to the sun. is a very different thing. Just
a dust of powder Immediately wiped off temper
arily removes a greasy look; but it stands to
reason that a lavish use of it Must fill up the
pores of the skin, and thereby permanently in
jure the complexion. Wrinkles are very much
under personal control. A girl OF a youth who
INDUCES in a perpetual knitting of the brews
produces a very ugly wrinkle between the eye
brows, but this may be entirely removed by for
saking the trick. A habit of half closing the
eyes-very common with near-sighted persons
who do not choose to wear glasses-produces
wrinkles at their outer corners. An ill-tem-
pered dropping of the corners of the mouth
brings wrinkles in those positions. No outward
application will ever cure this; the effort must
come from strong determination and resolute
avoidance of the cause that produces the ugly
effect.
Living in a very dirty atmosphere tends to
develop and accentuate wrinkles; the CRIME
naturally settles in any little hollows that will
receive 1t, and the longer it STAYS there the more
difficult 1T is to remove. 1t may be partially
kept out by regularly wearing a veil out of
doors, but the best thing is frequent and
thorough washing with hot water, and the appli-
cation of a little sweet oil or cold cream at bed
time. This softens and smooths the skin, help
ing it to fill out instead of increasing the ten
deneyto fall into holloRs and trace channels. A
little alum or other astringent lotion applied in
the morning does good rather than harm, but if
lit makes the skin smart it acts as an ~irritant,
and must be avoided. Any putting of the skin
is associated with an unhealthy condition of the
blood, and ought to receive proper medical treat
ment. People who habituafly worry themselves
over trihes frequently get wrinkles in their fore
head, but persons who cultivate a calm and easy
state OF mind may escape them for many years.

senator Vance at DanvilIe.

DANvILLE, Va, April 8.-Senator Vance ad-
dressed the citizens here to-day and said the
time for Tapping the bloody shirt was passing
away since s~ober-minded, thinking people at the
North were beginning to understand the pecu-
liar state of things at the South and to make
allowance for apparent Impotence of the South
eln people. ASOuthern outrage bill would never
again be enacted. There never would be another
investigation into reputed Southern outrages.
The timeof peace and harmony wasnear athand,
and when troubles were said to be caused by
colored people it had always been found that
mean white scoundrels were at the bottom
them. The educated and thinking people were
going to rule the country.

Lord Tennyson in London.

LoHuOn WorId.
Baron Tennyson on subscribing the roll wore
Lord Coleridge's robes, which were a great deal
too large for him, but which he managed with
much defines. Only six peers were present to
witness the ceremony; but then Tennyson is
neither a sportsman nor a politician, and is prob
ably unknown by name to most of his new
brethren. The new Baron Alfred Lord Tenny-
son, to be in harness for as short space OF time
rs possible, put up at the Deanery, Westminster.
During the past few days many worshipers of
the Laureate have paid their respects at the
quiet little house in the gray ~cloisters, and
he has been so fully engaged with small, every
day amenities, that he has been unable to seize
on the spare moments to think out that sweet
'Commemoration Idyl' which Tennysonites
looked forward to as forming part of and giving
a psrpetuity to the ceremonial Of his lordships

SEDALIA, April 8.-Both Van Horn and Filley
arrived in the city this morning, and are busy
mastering their forces for to-morrow,s battle in
the State convention. A good many delegates
are already here. Mr.. Filley1ate this evening,
issued au address advising a joint session early
tomorrow morning of the opposing factions, or
the appointment of a committee to recommend
conciliatory measures in the interest of harmony
and good order. While there is intense
feeling expressed by the various delegations,
there is. SO far, no Indication of any ifreconnila-
bic bitterness which would preclude a possible
compromise: yet it is equally apparent that I'M
derneath this exterior calm there lies a maya
zine, which, once ignited by any imprudeut
move on either side, would end in such an ex-
plosion as would blow the whole convention TO
atoms. But outside of a few bot-headed and ILL
advised g%runters, everything possible is being
done to arrive at peaceable and harmonious
unity Of action.

Letter in Farming World.
Every hostess, 1 am sure, knows what a diff
cult matter it is sometimes to provide interest
ing entertainments for her guests. especially
when they are many and of a miscellaneous
character in regard to age. Let me introduce a
''mock auction" It must be understood that no
money is called for, the hostess providing each
guest with from fifty to one hundred white
beans, which are supposed to represent a dollar,
and all the bidding is done with them. 1t will
be necessary to provide beforehand the articles
to be sold, which should each be wrapped in pa
per, or so disguised that no one may know what he
is bidding for. The auction is much more inter
esting and the bidding more spirited if each
package is found to contain some little
thing of trifing value, although some
should be of an amusing character. L
attended one a short time ago, where
the daughter of our hostess was quite an artist;
u number of the parcels were found to contain
trifing sketches made by her. So the bidding
became quite exciting, each one hoping to get
some specimen of her handiwork. A sign might
be displayed in some prominent place, saying:
mo mutilated beans received" AS everybody
generally gets some little souvenir, all are salts
fed and usually well pleased with their even
ing's amusement.
