The Dangers of Dr;nking-water.

The following impressive and truthful
statements are made by Charles F. Win
gate, the well-known sanitary engineer, in
communication to the National B0tlerS'
gazette
The importance of thorough filtration
of drinking-water can hardly be oyeresti-
| mated. The sources of both public and
private supply are so liable to contamina-
ton by dangerous impurities, that no de-
pendencc can be placed upon their purity.
| Every little while it is discovered that the
water supply of some place-preyiously
supposed to be pure and perfectly whole
some-is contaminated by sewage or other
filth. Few persons have any conception of
the extent to which pollution in water ex-
lists. 1t may be said TO be the rule, rather
than the exception, in all thickly populated
rural sections, and even in towns which
have public water supply. In Massachu-
sets alone. 393 600 cases OF typhoid fever,
with 10000 deaths, have been traced to
specific contamination of drinking-Water.
The poison of typhoid has been carried
twenty-five miles by a river, and cOmmu-
nicated to forty patients in one institu-
ton, through drinking of the water,
The marked increase in renal diseases,
which have become almost epidemic, as
it were, in all sections of the country,
among persons OF all COHulllOHs anu Vi
both sexes, is ascribed by physicians of
experience, in great measure to the sedi-
ment contained in drinking water, which
the kidneys, the filters of the body, cannot
eliminate from the system. Hence the
elogging and consequent degeneration Of
those organs. In the last annual report OF
the New York State Board of Health occurs
the following important statement; 1t is
thing of common experience, that water
highly contaminated. even with excre-
mental matter, may be drunk for long
time with apparent impunity, by many
people; but that at some unexpected mo-
ment, either from an as yet unknown
change in the fermenta ion process, or as
is often probable, from the introduction of
an almost inappreciable quantity of specific
infective excreta, an outbreak of typhoid
may devastate the community thus sup
piled The distinguished sanitarian,
Simon, tells us that the effect of impure
water is not always sudden, violent Or gen.
eral On the contrary, It's results are more
usually so gradual as TO eude ordinary OBJ
servation; but they are none the less on
that account"

MARRYING RESERVATION LAND.-While
on mis- recent visit to Detroit Lake. VIM.
Penn Nixon, accompanied by his wife, Wis
tied White Earth Indian Agency. One
morning he was chatting with Agent Shee-
han, who was dilating upon the rapid
progress made by the aborigines, when an
indian girl dashed up 10 the door upon
pretty pony, dismounted, and, taking the
train of her riding habit on her arm, walked
into the agency, presented certificate from
u surveyor in regard to fees paid ard said
she wished patent for her land, Here"
said Agent Sheehan, e" is good illustration
of juSt what we were speaking about" The
Indian girl, though a full blood, made an
attractive picture in her bright riding habit,
and the editor spoke up, saying: by the
way, how can secure some land here?"
Where do you live?' asked the red girl.
In Chicago, replied the philosopher of
the daily press. Oh then, you'll have to
marry me in order to obtain land here on
the reservation" piquantly spoke up the
maid. But ! am already married-here
is my wife" Yes, but she is old am
young. hear you can easily get a divorce
in Chicago. Come here, marry me, and
you can have land" Her entreaties were
so earnest and arguments so strong that the
editor was compelled TO use his utmost
strategy in order to prevent completing the
treaty with the Indian maid.-S. Paul

SENSIBLE ADvICE.-Don't worry, my son,
don't worry. Don't worry about something
that you think may happen tomorrow, be-
cause you may die tonight, and to-mor-
row viii find you beyond the reach of
worry. Don't worry over thing that hap
pened yesterday, because yesterday is a
hundred years away. If you don't believe
it, Just try TO reach after it and bring it
back. Don't worry about anything that is
happening to-day, because to-day will only
last fifteen or twenty minutes. If you don t
believe it, tell your creditors you'll be ready
to settle in full with them at sunset. Don't
worry about things you can't help, because
worry only makes them worse. Don't
worry about things you can help, because
then there's no need TO worry. Don't
worry at all If you want to be penitent
now and then, IT won't hurt you bit to go
into the sackcloth and ashes business a
little 1t will do you good. you want to
cry little once in q long while, that isn't
q bad thing. If you feel like going out and
clubbing yourself occasionally, ! think you
need it and will lend you helping hand
at it, and put 4 plaster on you alterward.
All these things will do you coed. But
worry, worry, worry, fret, fret, frct-why,
there's neither sorrow, penitence, strength,
penance, reformation, hope nor resolution
in it. It's just wOrry.-R0bert B,Tctette in

ENGLISH APPRECIATION OF HUNoR.-Said
Colonel Sanford, of Marshalltown, Iowa :
q" once delivered my lecture on old and
New Things in London, England, and as
| always do, used that expression, path
eticker and patheticker. The next morn
ing one of the leading London dailies APP
peared with criticism on the lecture, in
which it gravely stated that the distinguish
ed gentleman certainly knows that the ex-
preston was grossly incorrect. He should
have used the words more and more pa
thetic' in that connection. You Temembe
the article written by Williams of the Nor
rist0wn Herald, in which he claimed to be
the author of Shakespeare and several
other world-renowned works. Would you
believe it? The English are so obtuse that
they could not see the point and all the
leading papers and magazines Of England
criticised the article severely, saying the
falsehood must be patent to everyone, as
Shakespeare had been dead for so long and
the other authors were not only dead before
the writer in the Norristown Herald was
born, but that their authorship had never
been disputed before.-ladianapoIi Sentinel.

STAGE SLANG.-That there is much the
atrical slang no man may deny who knows
anything of the secret regions OF the stage.
Who can tell us why American actors call
an old Joke chestnut" Who can ex-
plain the discrepancy between the French
phrase for damned play, ''un four noir,"
and the English "a dead frost?' And why
is it that what the Frenchman calls "a
black oven" the Italian calls bottle
fissco? = writer in an English newspaper

this interesting subject with the remark

With Cotton At Eight .:d a Half Cents, Poor
Crops and Bad Prices,
WHAT SHALL BE DONE ?
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. l, 1885.

RALEIGH, n. O., Feb. 1, 1885.
The situation of our Farmers, and
more especially of those in the Eastern
Counties, is a serious one. With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else In the
same proportion, it is doubtful whether
our people can make cotton at all
with the old method. Thousands Of
thoughtful men all through the
South are considering earnestly this
question WHAT SHALL BE DONE?
With prices of their products way down
and the prices Of all they buy mot re-
duced in the same proportion, what
shall be done to feed the family, buy
clothes and send the children to- school
during this New Year? All this time
sensible men are cutting down every ex-
pense and resolving that they will make
more at home. Milk, meat, vegetables
must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved corn, oats and grass
must be provided for the horses, cows
and hogs. High-priced fertilizers and eve
ry extra thing are entirely out OF the
question. The wise man will buy the
cheapest and best ingredients only and
make fertilizers at home this year.
At this time, THE NORTH CARROLL
MA PHOSPHATE COMPANY, an ex-
clusively North Carolina Company, work
ing nothing but North Carolina material,
wants to inform the prudent men just
described how they can help themselves
and help a home enterprise by buying
LIME PHOSPHATE, the cheapest Phos-
phate ever sold in North Carolina. 1t is
to the interest of every farmer in North
Carolina to write to the NORTH CARO-
LIMA PHOSPHATE COMPANY at
Raleigh, n. c., and learn how to save
money and make a good fertilizer that
will make a good crop at a very low
price.
