An exchange says that the first
pure monkey ever born in America
saw the light Of day recently in New
York" If these Italian counts who
go around the country disguised as
members Of the Handel Musical As
sociation, are foisting an adulterated
article of monkey on the American
people, it is about time to cry Halt"
There Is too much adulteration in our
food and amusements.

Publication 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
dangerous quantity Of foreign matter and
diseasc-producing germs. In very many
homes during the summer months, water
that otherwise would nauseatc the drink
er, is made cold by ice, and then is
hastily swallowed, the coldness masking
its oifensiveness. Unfortunately for the
health Of the consumer, the addition OF
ice does not render tho Impurities in
water innocuous, but often adds to its
own contribution Of disease germs. The
only safeguard to the consumer IL in
giving his personal attention 10 the dl-
tration Of the water used 10 his house,
hold. Water slowly percolated through
crushed vegetable charcoal will escape
from il not only cleansed Of particles
held in suspension, but also Of organic
and other matter. The cheapness Of
charcoal is such that il is obtainable by
all classes, and when soilsd, a fresh
quantity can be substituted at trifling
cost. The most effective filtration is OBJ
tanned by placing crushed charcoal in an
earthen vessel, so arranged as to COM
pei the slow passage Of the water through
Il, as all efforts at rapid filtration have
proved inefficient. Only wooden spigots
should be used in drawing of the water.
A reservoir for the filtered water with a
separate ice-chamber. will permit the
water to be sufficiently chilled and keep
all ico impurities out. Such a contri-
vance requires but very little room, is
easily cleaned, the coal renewed. and is
efficient in freeing water from impuri-
ties. american Agricldtwia.
