IMPURE WATER.
Some Pertinent Facts and Suggestions for
Protection of Health.

DR.. Swarts, of Providence. r. l., read a
paper before the Medical Society of that
city, in which he gives the results of
series of experiments on various devices
for tiltering water at the mouth of the
faucet.
Although these experiments were care
fully made, his conclusions are wholly I'M
favorable to any form OF filter within his
knowledge. He reports that the best of
them can only cleanse the water of posi-
bic microbes, or diseased germs, for a few
hours after their first application. That
after this time ii is impossible to thor
oughly clean the filter, and it becomes a
place of deposit and accumulation of the
germs themselves, which are liable to prop
agate at the ordinary temperature Of
kitchens at very rapid rate Thus the
filter increases the difficulty rather than
obviates it,
He concludes that the only safety in the
matter is to use water that is known to be
pure, or that which has been boiled, and
cooled with ice.
This is very sensible conclusion to
arrive at There can be no disease germs
in boiled water heat DESTROYS animal life,
as we'll It's the vegetable germs. Our agri-
cultural papers have for years advised this
method of purifying water. And were
this course more frequently pursued there
would be less trouble with iaundice and
other liver ailments. The water of ponds,
which are more or less shallow, and the
bottoms, and surroundings often covered
with rank vegetable growth, are especi-
ally dangerous to drink, unboiled Yet
this is often done here, and the conse-
quence, which is sure sooner or later to fol-
low this injudicious saving Of a little labor,
will often add sixty and hundred fold,
which might have been saved by very
little trouble at the start. Every one can
not get ice for their water but all can get
the cool night air, which our ocean sur
roundings give us. And If water is boiled,
and hung out in the air over night, it will
be cool and nice next morning, and if kept
in stone jug or jar, with wet towel around
1t, or even a common pitcher will do, 1t
would keep much cooler than it would in
an ordinary pail, and the evaporation
from the wet towel will diminish the tenn
perature of the water as will be soon seen.
Shallow wells have more or less sur
face water and should also be boiled. 1t
should boil up but once and then taken
off; little lemon or vinegar put into a
glass of boiling water will improve it and
at the same time help to invigorate the
system. Water is the natural drink Of
man, but it needs to be pure. In Eye
olden times" wells were not very numerous.
not, as now, in every ones back yard, but
one well served for whole town. The
site was secured with view to pure water,
and the wells were rather extensive but
they were enduring, and served many
times to perpetuate the name of the
builder.
Elijah was fed by the ravens, but his
drink was from sparkling brook.
Pure water cleanses the blood, as well as
the system, of many impurities. It's free
use will prolong life, and it is certainly one
of Gods greatest blessings to man.

A New GAS BURNER.-The London
Gas World describes new incandescent
gas burner which may be placed upon any
gas fixture The diamond is a compact
vertical burner; no artificial air supply is
required. The incandescing hood is made
of magnesium oxide, is perfectly rigid, and
can be easily suspended over the burner
The burner employed is sort of modified
argand, with the air supply passing
through openings in the base of the body
of the lamp, and passing up the center of
the burner, external air being almost en-
tirely cut off by the chimney surrounding
the burner and hood. The flame is, of
course, luminous.

the terror of dry goods clerks and rail-
road conductors, discoverers of signif-
cant meanings In plain conversation,
prodigies of badinage and inuendo, I
say: 'Vashti has lost her veil.
"But do not misinterpret what I say
into depreciation Of the work of those
glorious and divinely called women, who
will not be understood till after they are
dead, women like Susan B. Anthony,
who are giving their life for the better
ment of the condition of their sex. Those
of you who think that women have, IN
der the laws of this country, an equal
chance with men, are Ignorant OF the
laws. a gentleman writes me from
Maryland, saying: Take the Laws Of this
State. A man and wife stalt out in life
full OF hope in every respect; by their
Joint efforts, and as is frequently the
case, through the economic ideas OF the
wife, succeed in accumulating fortune,
but they have no children; they reach
old age together, and then the husband
dies. What does the law of this State
do then? 1t says to the widow, hands
off your late husbands property, do not
touch it, the State will find others to
whom it VIII give that; but you, the
widow, must not touch it, only so much
as will keep life within your aged body,
that you may live to see those others
enjoy what rightfully should be your
own And the State seeks the relatives
of the deceased husband, whether they
be near or far, whether they were ever
heard of before or not, and transfers to
them, singly or collectively, the estate
of the deceased husband and living
widow.
"Now, that is q specimen of unjust
laws in all the States concerning woman
hood. Instead Of flying off to the dis
cussion as to whether or not the giving
OF the right of voting to woman will cor
rect these laws, let me say to men, be
gallant enough, and fair enough, and
honest enough, and righteous enough,
and God-loving enough to correct these
wrongs against women by your own
masculine vote. Do not wait for woman
suffrage to come, if it ever does come,
but so far as you can touch ballot-boxes
and Legislatures and Congresses begin
the reformation. But until justice is
done to your sex by the laws of all the
States, women of America take the plat
forms and the puipits, and NO honorable
man will charge Vashti with having lost
her veil.

| lives possible in this world, when the
bond is merely one of commercial gain
and convenience. Let them settle with
the masculine conscience the ethical
question of wooing, with phrases bor-
rowed from Love, the women to whom
they would never give second thought
were they portionless; the pretense OF
disinterested devotion maintained
throughout the betrothal; the oath Of
allegiance to the women they hold by
the hand when these are really addressed
to bonds and securities, to stocks and
real estate-the horrible wrong done to
the creatures who believe in them as IN
Him who made them. Let Us speculate,
instead, as to the process. by which, the
mother who knows what marriage is
what heaven and what he'll it may be
works herself up Cor down? to the con-
viction that her child can, in any sense,
be s'well off, in wedding q man because
of advantages that have nothing to do
with his intrinsic self. The girl may err
through partial ignorance-her matronly
adviser never!
Yet the young maiden who says, 81
mean to marry rich man, whether l
love him or not" breathes upon her
purity by the utterance, however
thoughtless it may be. If this be her
steadfast purpose, inculcated by her
elders, acted upon, when opportunity
offers, by herself, there stands between
her and the poor wretch from whose
touch she draws aside her matronly
robes, as if contact were contamination,
only the shadow of a legal lie, the tenu-
Gus screen of the wifely name.

TRYING TO STOP 1T.
The Dehorning of Cettle in the Ranches Of
the West.
(From the Milwaukee sentinel.) 4.

(From the Milwaukee Sentinel)-
Superintendent Whitehead, of the
Humane Society, is seeking an efficient
method OF stopping the cruel dehorning
Of cattle, q custom which IS growing In
this State.
ssThe professed object of this amputa-
ton is to prevent cattle from inAicting
Injuries with their horns, but any one
who cannot protect himself against 8
COW or even q bull without resorting to
surgery is apt to be q poor sort of a
stoek.raiser," said MIR. Whitehead.
"And, as for that, ( have never known
more pugnacious animals than 'mooly'
bulls. The fact, believe, IS that the
greedy cattleman is counting solely on
the square feet of room he will save By
avoiding roping his stock"
The operation is performed with an
ordinary saw. Cut through the quick
pith, the animals head bleeds profusely
for days, and the pain nust be intense.
ssIt is cruel attempt to convert
herd of cattle into flock of sheep"
continued Mr.. Whitehead. 'The origin
of the custom in Wisconsin and Illinois
was the prosecution of man, Hof by
name, think, in Genesee, Ill, by the
Humane Society, of that State, three
years ago last summer. Oae OF the
society's agents had his attention drawn
to this solitary case of dehorning, and
went to the spot to investigate. Haf-
showed him his cattle, enlarged upon
the advantages of the operation and
treated the inquirer with some consider
alton until he learned his business, when
he summarily eje tied him from the
premises. With no revengeful feeling
whatever, am convinced, the agent Laid
the case before the society, and the man
was prosecuted. Hoff came to Chicago
three times to have the case postponed,
the last time on the ground that his wife
was dangerously i'll. 1t was afterwsrd
ascertained that his wife, on the day re-
ferred to, had driven him herself to the
station. Meantime he had been In
dncinp one farmer after another to try
dehorning, and at last implicated so
many, that an impartial jury could not
be impanelled, and the society lost the
case. Since that time the barbarous
custom has extended to Wisconsin, and
is, 1 believe, largely practiced. The
royal veterinary college OF Scotland has
condemned the practice in the strongest
language, and we have written for furth-
er Information on the subject. Our
course of action in the matter Will large.
" depend on the reply to our inquiry.

SPRING OATS.
The Crop is Too Valuable to be Overlooked
Even in the Spring.

The Crop is Too Valuable to be Overlooked
Even in the Spring.
The Southern Cultivator thinks the
acreage sown in fall oats is mnch less
than usual. The freezing out of large
portion OF the crop of 1886 by the hard
freezes in January, 1887, haa most dis
couraging effect, which was augmented
by the unfarorably dry weather which
prevailed in some parts Of the country
during the sowing season. The oat crop,
however, is too valuable and IN the long
run too reliable to be given up. Spring
sowing costs little more than the seed,
even if the crop fails from drouth; and a
good breadth-eight or ten acres at least
to each plow run-should be put IN.
In our iudgment-founded upon expert
ence and observation-oats sown IN
February are much less liable to injury
by freezing than if sown in january.
Sowing in the sold twelve days" smacks
more Of superstition and sentiment than
sound reason. Our hardest weather i
usually from December 25 to February
l, and it is not often that oats sown N
February are killed by freezing. The
soil for spring oats, if not already fertile,
should be well manured and deeply and
closely plowed-the latter to guard
against drouth as much as possible. II
the land be cross plowed so as to leave
the furrows partly open, the seed may be
sown broadcast and narrowed IN with
good results. Cotton seed, or the meal
alone, or in compost with acid phosphate
and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer
ior oats. The crop requires rather more
ammonia and potash than the percentage
usually found in commercial ammonlat-
ed phosphates.
Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest
for spring sowing, as it will mature in
100 to l20 days when sown IN February
or March, according to latitude. Sow
plenty of seed; the later the sowing the
heavier should be the seeding. Allow
for yield of twenty fold is pretty safe
general rule, unless the unexpected yield
or capacity of the land is small, in which
case the seeding should be somewhat
heavier than this rule would indicate,
and vice versa.
