tween the English ministry and the Car.
The terms of this arrangement have never
been authoritatiVely announced, but what
ever they were they appear not to have been
acceptable to the Gar, and England has been
requested TO modify them to suit his wishes.
The points of difference are said not to be yery
important, but the fact that differences exist
has evidently produced q disquieting effect
on the English mind. 1t would seem that
Russia had been encouraged by the readiness.

Pure Drinking Water.

An ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" said Prof. Cook, the state geolo-
gist of New Jersey. "People want water
that is perfectly pure for drinking purposes
during the summer, especially so as cholera
threatens. From experiments recently made
find the best filter that can be made is the
bottle filter. 1t is made by tying string
wet in turpentine around the bottom of a
quart bottle and breaking out the bottom.
This is done by lighting the string, and
when the flame has encircled the bottle, dip
ping it in cold water. Layers of fine cotton
batting must then be placed in The bottle.

It is desired to purify, add teaspoonful

usually takes about five minutes. Then run

The Republicans now have a majority Of
one on joint ballot in the Illinois legislature,
and if they would vote solidly for Gen. Lo.
gan the contest which has been going on fo1
months could be settled on Tuesday. Un-
fortunately up to the present few of them
have refused to vote for Logan and it is by
no means certain that they can be prevailed
upon to vote for him on Tuesday. The Dem
ocrats who have almost abandoned hope OF
electing Democrat, are working a scheme
to elect Mr.. Farwell. They hope to be able
to cast their own vote solidly for him and Sc
cure enough Republican votes to ensure his
election. Mr.. Farwell is Republican, but
ii ne is elected in this way his obligation to
the Democracy will be altogether too great to
be ignored. The two or three Republicans
who do not favor Gen. Logan ought to yield
to the will of the majority and vote for him.
They ought to be willing in this case, where
no question of conscience is involved, to
subordinate their personal wishes to the
good of the party.

The Smallest Watch,


A small gold pen holder, resting in rich
velvet case, lay on a jewelers. show case in
John street last week. The end of the hold
er was shaped like an elongated cube, and
was an inch long A faint musical tickin
that issued from it attracted customer
attention. The ieweler lifted the holde
from the case with smile and exhibited a
tiny watch dial, one sixteenth of an inch in
diameter, set in the side between two other
almost as small. One indicated the day and
the other the month of the year. The cen
tire dial licked off seconds, minutes and
hours.
This is the smallest watch ever made. %
the Jeweler said, sand the only one of its
kind in the world. 1t took Geneva watch
maker the better part of two years to fit the
parts together so that they would work ac-
curately 1t has been exhibited in London
and Paris.n
The works of the watch were so that thev
htted lengthwise in the holder. The main
spring was an elongated coil of steel fitted to
the wheels by a tiny chain, and worked like
an old fashioned clock weight. The works
were wound by means of a little screw of
gold on the under side of the hands. A
gold pen was fitted in the holder. and the
Jeweler wrote with it without disturbing the
operations of the fairy watch.
WHATS the price?" the customer asked.
"A round $780," replied the jeweler laugh

We observe that Portland is just now ia
vored with physicians who cure without

what are known as "mind-curers." The
theory on which these alleged physicians

physically, as he thinks he is. It is some
times said that this sort of physician ifhe does
no good, at least does no harm. But he does
do good deal of harm, if, as is frequently
the case, by protesting to be able to cure he
deters sick men from seeking rational treat
ment. Perhaps the mind treatment supple
mentary to something else may do no harm
and sometimes some good. But the person
who relies upon it exclusively and seeks no
other aid is fool. AS, however, the race of
fools shows no signs of becoming extinct we

doctors, and the healing mediums, and the
cancer doctors, and the tapeworm special

The election in New York this year will
be one OF great Importance. 1t will have a
special bearing on the present and its result
will aid greatly in determining the future.
New York is the state of the President as
well as two members of his cabinet, and the
endorsement of no state will naturally be
more eagerly sought. On this account it
will not do for Republicans, however well
organized they may be, to count on Demo-
cratic quarrels as factor to aid in bringing
them victory. Presidential booms will be
out of the question and it will be an excel
lent year for thorough organization and hard
work.
