Race with q Locomotive.

Several of Hook Mason's MN were at
Wabuska the other day to say good-by to
one of their number who was going north.
Just as the train was fairly under way the
departing vanquero shouted back that he
had left his over-coat. A short search
resulted in finding the article, and hur-
RED discussion arose as to the best way
of restoring it to its owner, when it was
suggested that had they been quick
en- ugh one of them might have caught
the train on his horse.
The suggestion was like flash of fire
to powder. One glance after the fast
disappearing train and Dan Farley was
in tue saddle, plunging both rowels in
his steed, and away, over bitches,
through the sage brush, up the hills and
down the hollows, riding as though fol

Aerating the Waters.

The publication of the waters supplied
to large cities is very important mat
ter, The growth Of manufactures and
the waste of populated districts in time
communicates the streams that furnish
the water supply. Millions of people
die or sicken yearly because of impure
water or tainted air. More than half
the physical ills which affect mlnkind
come from these two sources.
Philadelphia is just now trying an ex-
pertinent which, if successful, will great
ly benefit the jewellers in large cities.
1t is aerating the water in the Fair
mount reservoirs. The Schuylkill and
Delaware, from which the water supply
has been secured, have become foul from
the growth of population along their
banks, and, as drawing water frem
distance would take time and be costly
at that, an effort is making to purify the
waters in the reservoirs. This is being
done by forcing air through the water.
The oxygen, according to the theory of
process, would act directly upon the or
ganic impurities, thus converting them
into harmless oxydized products. 1t is
the motion and exposure to the air that
purifes running rivers.
The Thames ut London is simply
poisonous, yet its waters are disable ten
miles below the city, as the oxygen of
the air working upon 1t gradually restor-
ed its wholesomeness. This fact has
always been well known, yet engineers
persist in enclosing aqueducts and shut
ting off the air until the water reaches
the reservoirs.
| New York city is to build new
aqueuuct thirty miles long. The water,
OF course, is quite good at Croton LAKE,
but it would b, much better if it was
protected stream open to the air. But
millions of dollars will be spent to shit
out the oxygen until the reservoir is
reached, where it will have less effect
because there the water is necessarily
without motion.
The purity of air anG water is vital
matter, and all who are interested in The
health of thei- families should constant
ly keep it in mind. Half the misery of
life comes from the myriads of sick peo-
pie who would be wholesome and happy
If the air they breathed and the water
they drank were reasonably pure.

What II q Mahdia

Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D'Herbelot
spells it, is an ancient title in the Mos
lem world which at first signified SIM
ply director of the faithful. But in the
course of Moslem history, and especially
Moslem history in Africa, it came to have
another sienfication related to an &C.
cepted prophecy of Mohammed. 1t nee
cessarily refers to the African part of
Arabic history. By this secondary zig
nificance of the word the Mahadi is a
certain ancient leader come again. His
appearance is the second advent" of
prophet who lived in the old days, and
who, in all the meantime, has been with
the immortals. Mohammed, The twelfth
Imam, and the twelfth in descent from
Ali, is the real original. He is the
Mahadi who comes again every now and
then.
He was hidden from the world at an
early age and communed only with his

SchOOI.keeping.

The teacher should mark the current
event of the school room off and the
busy world as revealed in the newspa-
pers, and impress upon his pupils a
moral lesson drawn from each. A child
has told faisehood. At some suitable
time let the sinfulness and evil conse-
quences of lying be explained before the
school, and, il possible, get an express
sion of disapproval and condemnation of
such conduct. Another pupil has told
the truth, under the pressure of strong
motives to tell lie. Let the heroism
and nobleness of such an act be highly
commended. A murder has been COM
mitted in some low GROCERY in city or
town. Here you have fruitful subject
for half a dozen little Monday morning.
talks before the school, in which you
will dwell upon the temptations ard in
fluences that have been brought to bear
upon that unfortunate man since he was
an innocent boy in the home and in the
school, to change his character and make
him a murderer. Group the vices in
which he has INDUCED, lying, stealing
swearing. drinking, and show the infu.
ence they have had upon him in forming
| his now ruined character, and expose
the nature of the traffic in alcoholic
drinks, so fearfully instrumental in ex'
citing the passions and fostering the
crimes that curse society. Now double
act ofheroism and self denial for the
good of others has been achieved anc
the facts have been published to the
world. Here is another delightful
theme for familiar lecture before the
school which cannot fail to do good.
These are some of the ways which
recommend to impart moral and relig

suggest other methods which the teach
