will be a reduction of $4,000 in the new

taking off about p per cent. of the tax on
small industries. There has been a good
deal said about the taxation by license in
Charleston. aud that it would compare I'M
favorably with That of other cities. This is
claimed not TO be so. The proportion of the

Water Carriage of Cholera

The following passage is from the ad-
dress of DIR. George H. Robe before the
January meeting of the Baltimore Life
Underwriters Association, published in
the Baltimore Underirriter.
Cholera is usually spread either by
means of a soil or drinking water contain
mated by the cholera poison. There are
probably some otter sources of infection,
but for our purpose they can be ignored.
Now 1t needs no argument TO show that il
the public water supply of city be con-
taminated, all persons using such infected
water are liable to be attacked by the dis
ease. Likewise if cholera lie spread
through the medium of an infected soil, a
dividing line cannot be established between
the areas upon which the poor and i'm
provident on the one hand, and the rich
and prudent on the other, have their resi-
dence.
Regarding this question the following
observations are made by the late DR..
Farr, who win certainly be admitted as a

Perpetual Motion.

At the associated soiree of the Literary.
Scientific and Art Societies of Liverpool.
Professor Hele Shaw delivered lecture
on Perpetual Notion which was eopi-
ously illustrated by means of lantern pict-
ures. The lecturer explained to his audi
ence that the idea OF perpetual motion was
very ancient, and that its successful
achievement was as far off as ever. because
1t was impossible. An old Sanscrit man
uscript told of an attempt at a perpetual
motion machine, which was probably con-
nected IN some way with the pravlng
wheels of the Buddhists. In Europe the
frst definite attempt at perpetual motion
was made about the 18th century: but
many crude contriyances had been made.
The favorite idea seemed to be that of a
wheel so weighted with movable balls as
to be whiried around in spite of the laws
of gravitation. Professor Hele Shaw ex-
hibited wheel thus arranged, which flew
around at a most extraordinary speed, ap-
parently by means of clever arrangement
of balls. The Chairman examined the ia
bles and the machinery, but found no mo-
tive power except the weights on the
wheel. The solution of the problem of
perpetual motion seemed to have been
solved; but the Professor called out for his
motive power, and a small boy appeared
who had been hidden underneath the plat
form, and had worked the machine bv a
strap passed up through the leg of the ia
bic. Such was the motor of one of the
most successful perpetual notion ma
chimes ever made.

How JENNY LIND SANG "SwEET HOME"
She was not beautiful, yet when she sang,
and especially VIXEN she sang sacred music,
her face became TRANSPORTED with an I'M
earthly loveliness. At these moments she
might have served as model for Joan
dare listening to the voices of her angel
visitants. In secular music she proved her
incontestable dramatic powers. think it
was that quality that made her singing of
English ballads so popular. The delici-
Gus coquetry and mirthfulness of her inter
probation of "Comin' Thro' the Rye the
tender pathos of Home, Sweet Home"
will never be forgotten by those who were
so fortunate as to hear them. In that last
song she introduced long, siIver-toned
trill at the lines, g The birds gayly singing
that came at my call" the effect of which
was marvellous, but less so than the i'm
FASHIONED depth of pathos that she impaired
to the whole hackneyed but ever touching
song. 1t was beyond description that
wall of an exile for the home he should
never more behold.-Lucy Hooper.

DRILLING THE CHILDREN TO DEATH.
| travelled once on the Rhine with highly
educated German, long resident in Eng
land, who used to say, when we saw the
groups of demure little boys and girls 60
ing to school at in the morning, with
their knapsacks of books on their should
ers, " That is what is Supplying the Ger
man nation; they are being drilled to
death they have no games, no lively
sports, no vivacity; one wide-awake Eng
lish schoolboy is worth the whole of
them" He had never been in America.
but we, who find the English children dull
and slow to mature compared to Ameri-
cans, can make the needful addition to
this statement. No one can deny the sure
tendency of the German training to pro-
duce thorough Investigators and admira-
bic analysts; but, after all, our system,
with all its faults, produces mental alert
ness, and theirs does not Compare an
American boy at Is with German or even
an English boy of the same age which is
it that has originality, impulse, initiative :?
That quality which makes us develop
early and assume leadership while Others
are under tutelage seems ingrained in the
transplanted race.-T W. Higginson

WHAT browns GOOD SwIMMERs.-I
would not be at all astonished if numer-
Gus cases of drowning, in which the victim
is good swimmer, were due to rush of
blood to the brain, producing insensibility.
The common explanation is that the strong
swimmer, who is seen to sink suddenly, was
taken with a cramp, but from my expert
ence | am led to think that it is not a
cramp, but sort of apoplexy that strikes
men in such cases and renders them COM
pletely helpless. If it weremerely cramp
of leg or arm do not think that strong
| men would sink suddenly and almost with
out struggle, as We see that they do in SC
many cases. Every one who reads the pa
pers will recall numerous instances at the
seashore and at every bathing resort where
| these mysterious drownings take place.
never knew any one to try to account fol
them except by the cramp theory. The
medical men ought to study the matter
and see if there is not some ground for the
belief that apoplexy, produced by pressure
of blood on the brain, is not more likely tC
be the cause of death in the water than
drowning in consequence of cramp.-Roeh'

poor, as general rule, suffer more than
the rich in cholera. But that is by no
means always the case, particularly where
the water is impure. Thus, in East Lon

attacked by cholera than the richest man
in Stepney. The pauper of Hamstead es-
capped in lS49, while the opulent persisted
in Belgravia. And the same rule obtained
all over the kingdom where there were
equivalent differences in the qualities of

How THE CHINESE DRILL WELLS
The French Able Hue. lately returned
from China, thus describes the system of
deep-earth boring practiced in the district
in which he has for some time resided. A
wooden tube, six feet in length is first
driven down through the surface soil.
This tube is held at the surface of the
ground by large hag-stone, having a hole
in the center to allow the tube to pass
through and to project little above it. A
cylindrical mass of iron, weighing about
400 pounds, hollow and pointed at its
lower end, and having lateral notches or
apertures, is jerlSed up and down in this
tube at the end of lever, from which it is
suspended by a rope. This kind of "monk-
ey" disintegrates the rock, the debris of
which, converted into sludge by water
poured in, finds its way through the lat
eral apertures into the interior of the cyl
Under. By raising the latter at intervals.
this sludge is removed from the borehole.
The rate of boring into rock of ordinary
hardness is one foot in twelve hours. Only
one man is employed at one time to work
the lever. BY this means wells of 1900
feet deep are sunk in about two years by
the labor of three men relieving one an
other every six hours.
