Various patterns of filters are in use,
very few Of which are OF any value
whatever. They act only as a strain
err to remove the coarser impurities,
but have no effect upon the micro
scopic bacteria, or matters held i'll so
luton. which are the most dangerous.
\ flannel bag is exactly as good filter
as these expensive devices, and pos
scsses the additional advantages of be-
ing easily cleaned or renewed. The
most effective filters are those in
which a disk Of porous stone or earth
enware forms the altering material,
but it is best to make sure of the orig
inal supply of water, rather than to
try to purify it by any such uncertain
methods. Popular Science Monthly.

window washers' Pcrlls.

The primitive plan of washing win.
dows by sitting out on the sill to clean
the outer sash killed one woman. who
fell ckwards into the street yester-
day. 1t is always n marvel. seeing
this perilous plan for cleaning up
per windows. that more of such unac-
customed gymnasts do not lose their
balance, and. with il, their lives.
Nothing can save them when they
once topple over, because their hands
are otherwise employed than in hold
ing on. \ fashion of sash that hinges,
instead of being raised by weights and
pulleys, is a desideratum. There are
coutrivances for this purpose, but it
will probably take n number of funer-
ais before house builders and house
owners conclude to adopt them. Even
when the window washer does not fall
out backward, the strain upon nerves
and muscles is most injurious by thie
bad old lan.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Diana of the crossways.

1t was a charming picture altogether
as Lady Colin came down the vista
toward me, says a London letter. As
l rose to meet her it was difficult TO
suppress the exclamation: "Ah, Diana
of the Crosswaysl" Lady Colin is a
very tall, slender, regal woman. Her
height must be at least 5 feet 8 inches,
but so exactly proportional is the
whole form that there is no effect Of
overlapping us smaller mortals. Her
complexion is a clear, pale olive, with
high color only in the lips, and she
carries her head royalty, with its
crown OF jet black hair. The feat
ures are regular, the eyebrows deli
cately penciled. She was dressed in a
severely plain green cloth costume
trimmed with dark fur. The perfect
lines of her form were not obscured
by a single fold. The tall palm, bend
ing graciously, inclining to this side
or that, typiGed her. At the time of
the trial a friend told me she had once
met at dinner Lady Colin just after
her marriage. My friend asked who
the beauty was, and on being told she
remarked that fate would no doubt give
the royal looking lady n history. In
fact, it is easy TO see that Lady Colin
was inevitably destined to play a role
like George Meredith's heroine. Now

CoIonist sIeerers.

The Union Pacific Ry., also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service a number of new cars (Which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first, class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies' and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first-class sleeper. Plenty OF
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also TO be found. A uniformed
porter accompaniesieach car to look alter
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seemsithat Tor cheap
and %comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars.cannot be ex-
celled.
