Purlacation of Drinking Water.

The average healthy adult man takes into his system four and a half pounds of water daily, and with it too often a dangerous quan- tity of foreign matter aud disease producing. germs. In very many houses during the summer months, water that would otherwise nause- ate the drinker, is made cold by ice, and then is hastily swallowed, the coldness masking it's offensive ness. Unfortunately for the health of the consumers, the addition of ice does not render the impurities in water innocuous, but often adds to it its own contribution Ot dis case germs. The only safe guard to the consumer is in giving his personal attention to tho filtration of the water used in his household. Water slowly percolated through crushed vegetable charcoal will escape from it not only cleansed of particles held in suspension, but also of organic and other matter. The cheapncss of charcoal is such that it is obtaiuable by all classes, and when soiled, a fresh quantity can be substituted at tritling cost. The most effected filtration is ob- tainod by placing crushed char coal in an earthen vessel, so ar ranged as to compel the passage of water through it, as all efforts at rapid filtration have proved met
 icient. Only wooden spigots should be used in drawing off the water. A reservoir for the filtered water with a separate ice chamber, will permit the water to be sutli- ciently chilled and keep all ice i'm. purities out Suoh a contrivance requires but very little room, is cas fly cleaned, the coal renewed, and is efficient in freeing water from impurities.--Dr. Edwin J, Howe in American Agriculturist for July.

ministry and secured concessions from the new ministry. But it re' mains 10 be seen whether the new tory administration will prove a better friend to Ireland than Glad stone. They have got rid of coer- cion and Earl Spencer, but 1t IS worth while for them to consider whether Gladstone and the Lber- als are not better friends of liberty and equality of rights than Queen Victoria, Salisbury and the tories generally. Gladstone has done more within four years past in behalt of popular government than any man in England. When the tories become entrenched ill power, the Irish will find out the differ ence between conservative and liberal rule. They have gained what seems to them a victory but it may turn out defeat. It may be that they have gathered apples of Sodom-outside fair, in. side ashes. It looks very like 1t. If it should turn ont so the Irish people will have the rash, cratic, impracticable Paruell to thank for it.-Arkansas Democrat.

Radical Change Ahead.

The present is not only an age ot invention in the World of Industry, it is also an era of reform and even revolution in political and social circles. A notable instance of the progress made by revolutionary ideas among the so-called higher classes in Er gland is to be found in the recent conferences of the great landowners, headed by Duke oi Argyle, to see if some scheme can not be devised by which the great landed estates can be divided and sold to farmers who will cultivate it after the manner of French, Bel gian and American small landed proprietors. The object is the ere alton of a clOss of yeomen-men who own their own lands and till it for the benefit of their families. This class once the pride of Eng land have almost wholly disap. peared, and during the last half century the soil has passed into the possession of great landlords who rented farms = = tenants; these again employing laborers who had no personal interest in the soil and whose lot in life was but little su- perior to the black slaves in the South before the Civil War. Eng. fish political economists have long felt that there was danger to the Empire when the mass of the peo- pie had no stake in the soil. It is admitted that the country is pecu- liarly favord where land owner ship is widely distributed. One of the primo causes of the decay Of the Roman Empire was that the land of Italy was owned by few great proprietors, and the farms were titled by slaves. It is pos sible that this movement among the great proprietors of Great Brittian was partly inspired by a desire to get rid of some of their farming land, the profits of which have fallen off very greatly by req son of American competition. Our wheat can be sold for so low a price in Liverpool that..there is TO profit in growing it in England, But whatever the reason, change in the ownership of the soil, if it could be effected in a large way, would work a wonderful change for the better in England and Scot. land. In Ireland the Gladston land laws are rapidly transforming tenants into owners of the land they cultivate,-Scientilic Ameri- can.

Michigan, Missouri, Massachusetts, Wiscon- sin Iowa and Kentucky contrib uted between 10000 and 15,000 each; all the rest, less than 1000 each. It is worthy of remark that
 every state now in the union, ex- cept South Carolina, is represented on the list, and every territory, ex- cept Utah. There are only l5 from Georgia, 42 from Virginia. 7S from

Facts 10 bc kept in NIind.

Dr. A. l.. Loomis is credited by the Canada Lancet with saying: "A man can take two or three glasses of stimulants daily and may contin. ue the habit for, perhaps, twenty five years without harm, but when this man reaches that period of life when the vital powers are on the decline, he suddenly finds himself old before his time, for he mas all these years been laying the founda- tion for endoateritis.s l believe that 5O per cent. of all diseases arise from the use of stimulants." This fact shonld be impressed upon the minds of all young men. It is certain that there is a chang ed feeling with regard to liquor drinking statistics throw some light on this subject. In 1860 the United States contained in round numbers, 31,00O,00O people, who consumed over S6,0O0,O0O gallons of spirituons liquors, while in 1881 with a population of 55, ,000, ,000 the manufacture and excess of imports over exports were only 73,0O0, 900 gallons-that is 10 say, while the number of people in the country has increased more than 75 per cent. since 1860, they use Is per cent. less of spirits. On the other hand, the consumption of malt liquors has risen from l00,000,000 in 1860 to 590,O00,000 gallons last year, and that of native wines from 1 80 ,000 gallons to over 17,000,0O0 gallons, It should be explained that the amount of spirits manu. factured last year fell much below the average, by reason of previous over-production of whiskey and the consequent depression in the trade. But even if the figures of manufacturing during the year of such over-production, when 10000, 900 gallons more were distilled than in 1884, with q reasonable al-
 lowance for illicit production. be
 taken as rate of consumption, they still have the propotion 10 each person far below what it was twenty-five years ago. The sub- stitution of the heavier for the light CT drink which these figures de- monstrate to have been made dur ing fhe past quarter of century is social fact of great significance. We do not wish to be understood as recommending either wines or beers, for we believe that in tens of thousands of cases the appetite for strong drink has been created and fosterd by the use of enticing al. cohol stimulants. The prevalence of kidney and liz CT diseases in wine and beer drinking countrys tell the story of the physical evils they in duce even when tho grosser forms of intoxication arc not present.

Good Reading fo, y,nng Men.

Tho late Edwards pierrepont, who distinguished himself as sec, rctary of the Am erican legation at Rome. on co received letter from his father which contain ed the fol- lowing sound advice:
 Dress like gentleman; never be peculiar or flashy, but dress as becomes you, not as becomes some one else. Never talk about your expenses or your money. and ncv- CT be ashamed to live with econo- ray; on the contrary, be proud oi it. Your business now is 10 ac- eairc knowledge, and you need not be anxious to display yours, especially to older men, but always try to learn of them.
 Never say to another what ii would be unpleasant to have hin say to you,
 Rememb CT that good manners are of great importance, Manners should be frank and easy, with dig nity.
 Avoid Awning, toadying ways as you would the foul fiend. Nev- CT fawn to a prince or swagger to q peasant. Be courteous and man Iy everywhere and to everybody.
 Let your manner be quiet; noth- ing is more underbred than fllul ried address, with a face wrinkled all over with grinniug delight.
 The countenance can express pleasure and welcome without idi- otic contortions, and when these appear; whether in the son of a duke or drayman, they are in- tcnsely vulgar,
 You cannot have good manners in the drawing room if your habit ual manner is bad; the habit will betray you; let the habit be al ways good.
 Far better that you looked frigid even. than that you degrade youl countenance with silly hilarity,
 Be gentleman, feel like a gen tleman, and you will act like one.
 Sometimes you will be neglect ed, and your vanity may fee wounded. Never let this annoy you. Be absolutely sure that II due time all will absolutely come right, and you will have all the consideration that you merit. Nc one can do you any permanent in jury but yourself. The world is SC constituted that 1t is not in mems power to withhold respect iron lofty character, real ability ant good conduct.
 You may be invited 70 ball ol dinner because you dance or tcl good story. but no one since the time of Queen Elizabeth has been made a cabinet minister or lord chancellor for such reasons Ca. zattc.
