Test bon the PurltY of Mater.

A simple aud convenient test for
water is as follows: Fill perfectly
clean quart bottle half full Of water;
cork and shake it, remove the cork aud
see if any odor can be detected at the
mouth OF the bottle, Cork the bottle
and place it in a warm place for few
hours or set into pan of hot water
for an hour shake, uncork and again
test by smell II an unpleasant or faint
or musty odor is perceptible, the water
requires more minute investigation. The
second simple test is to eyaporate "A
quart of water to dryness in new tin
pan or cup, aud note the character OF the
residue aud what happens when it i.
strongly heated in a metal spoon. II the
sediment left after evaporation is small
and on being burnt in a metal spoon
gives rise only to such odOr as comes
from burning vegetable matter, the
water is not greatly contaminated with
sewage. But if the sediment is IN con-
siderable quantity and burns, giving oil
the peculiar odor of burning hair or
other animal matter, then the water is
foul. Either of these tests you can easily
apply, 80 Brook'yR Eagle.

OMNIA VANITAS.

" What write shall live forever said the
poet in his pride,
And he wrote with the blood of his bosom
a song that straightway died.
90 will make my name immortal" said the
artist with a sob.
With his soul for a brush he painted what
the critics called daub.
My words shall startle nations THE state
mans blood was stirred,
Then he from the rostrum thundered
speech that no one heard.
" The world shall wake with wonder at tn
conquests shall make"
And the soldier led his army to a fatal,
black mistake.
:" I'll overwhelm the scholars when l show
how Nature acts,n
And the scientific doctor rehashed up an
cient facts.
In time each strong desire shall strike upon
some reef,
In time each high ambition shall surely
come to grief.

Lime Water.

An experienced housekeeper gave me
a valuable piece of information short
time ago. she said "Limo- water, when
one understands how to use it, is very
useful in housekeeping. Prepare it for
use by putting stone of fresh lime
about the size of a half-peck measure
into. large stone jar, and pour over it
slowly tea-kettleful of hot water, and
stir it thoroughly. Let it settle, then
stir again thoroughly, repeating this
three or four times during the day.
Bottle carefully all of it that can be
poured off in clear state" is useful
in cleansing bottles or milk vessels. A
cupful mixed in the sponge of bread or
cakes over night will prevent sour,ng.
A little put into milk or cream, after a
hot night, will prevent its turning when
put into tea or coffee. A little put into
milk, that might curdle when heated,
will prevent curdling, and the milk can
be used for puddings or pies. Prairie

THE DRUM.

Oh the druml
There is some
information in thy grum
Monotony Of utterance that strikes the spirit
dumb,
AS we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere,
Thy palpitating syllables roll in upon the ear
There's part
or the art
OF thy music throbbing heart,
That thrills something in us that awakens
with a start,
And in rhyme
With the chime
And exactitude Of time,
Goes marching on to glory of the melody
sublime.
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs Of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as Continental dressed
And he looms
From the glooms
OF century of tombs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in liv-
ing beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
or purpose pure and wise;
AS the love of them is lifted to something
in the skies,
That is bright
Red and white,
With blur of starry light,
AS 1t laughs in silken ripp.es to the breezes
day and night
There are deep
Hushes creep
Der the pulses as they leap,
And the murmur, fainter growing on tht
silence falls asleep,
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and ali
As a heritage to freedoms sons aud daugh
ters everywhere.
Then, with sound
As profound
AS the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in throe tina
shakes the ground,
Aud cry
Flung on high,
Like the flag it flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles II
the sky.
OBJ the druml
There Is some
lntonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes tn
spirit dumb,
As we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy palpitating syllables roll in upon tn
| ear.

a native was so striking that paused to
wonder if mistake had not been made.
When he saw us he stood upright, arms
hanging down by his sides, and he
looked far more like a human being
than some of the natives in my camp.
He was so mad that he did not know
what move to make first, and as he stood
there clots Ct foam fell upon his breast
and down to the earth. BY and by he
seized the young one and flung it away.
Half a dozen of the men rushed to seize
it, and as it scrambled back one of the
natives pursued it too far. The gorilla
uttered a terrible roar, made a savage
spring, and the native was caught by
the hair. | was not over twenty feet
away, and saw all that happened. lie
was flung down, and the gorilla stopped
and gave him blow on the chest which
crushed it in. He then hit him right
and left on the sides of the head, and the
man was dead. This did not satisfy the
monster. He lifted the body up and
literally tore it to pieces, pulling off the
arms as you would pull stick Of kind
ling wood out of a bundle. 1t then
seized the young one by hind leg, and
body away, and then beat its breast and
roared defiance at us.
BY the advice of tine natives l decided
to let the old fellow alone for a while and
allow hunger and thirst to work on his
temper. We made a temporary camp
half a mile away, and did not go near
him again for two days. During the
first day he roared at intervals, but on
the afternoon of the second he was very
quiet. One of the men went to take a
look at him, and reported the captive as
sitting down on the trap and crying
with pain. Next forenoon we went out
with nets, ropes, nooses, and chains, and,
after long, hard fight, tangled him up
and secured him. When we sprang the
trap off his leg we had his hind feet
shackled together, his fore feet, or arms,
secured with chain, two ropes around
his body, and muzzle over his jaws.
We then bound him to litter and car
ried him to the main camp, where cage
had been made. His leg was badly
swollen and he was pretty well beaten
out, but three days after we got him in
TO the cage he was all right and as mad
as ever. l sent him down the river and
around to Zanzibar, and after months he
brought up in Constantinople, so fero-
cious and dangerous that the utmost
precaution had to be taken by those
who came near him. He was living
during the Russo Turkish war, and one
who saw him informed me that there
was no hope of sweetening his temper OF
subduing his ferocity. .-NetC York. Sun.

An Army i'm Minintnre.

A gentleman by the name of Lawrence,
living at West Salem, ILL.,, has produced
a remarkable piece of mechanism. 1t
represents an army, and consists Of 400
pieces. Horses, men, cannon, cavalry,
artillery, infantry, and a band of fifty
two men, each holding an instrument,
are represented in this wonderful mechan-
ism. Many of the figures move auto
matically, the power being obtained
from a miniature windmill, propelled by
the heat of candles. Galileo's cowled
monk was not more strange in structure.
Most of the work, strange to say, was
done with a pocket knife, and although
Mr.. Lawrence exercised his ingenuity for
a year in the construction of the marvel
Gus mechanism, yet he disposed of it for
a mere nominal sum. m.-IRdiaHap0Lis Jour

Recipe for Corned Beef

Directions for making corned beef:
First cover the meat for twenty four
hours with brine just strong enough to
float an egg. Take it out and wash it in
cold water so as to take out all the
blood; throw the bloody brine away,
and for 100 pounds of beef, or in the
same proportions for other quantities,
MAKE new pickle by thoroughly dis
solving six pounds of salt, two pounds
of brown sugar and two ounces OF salt
petre in water sufficient to cover the
meat; skim it we'll before pouring it on,
and if scum rises on it afterward before
the meat is used up, scald it, sAim it
and pour it back when cold. Keep the
meat always covered with the brine and
in cool and well ventilated place. For
summer keeping or for the Southern
States little more salt should be used.

Future Land Battles.

Specializing as to what the future land
battle will be like, Lord Wolseley says:
"The battles OF the future will be very
different from even those of 1870, and
will bear very little resemblance to those
of Crimean times. One remarkable
change will be the absence of nearly all
that terrific noise which the discharge of
five or six hundred field guns and the roar
of musketry have caused in all great
battles. We shall have, practically, no
smoke to mark the position of the
enemy's batteries and troops in action.
The sound of cannon will be slight, and
will no longer indicate to distant troops
where their comrades are engaged and
the point upon which they should con-
sequeutly march. Our sentries and ad-
vanced posts can no longer alarm the
main body upon the approach of the
enemy by the discharge of their rifles.
The camp or bivouac will no longer be
disturbed at night by the spluttering fire
of pickets in contact with the enemy.
Different arrangements for giving the
alarm upon the approach of hostile
columns will have to be resorted to. The
main column on the march cannot in
future be warned by the shots of flank
ing parties, of the enemy's proximity,
and a battle might possibly be raging
within few miles of it, without that
fact becoming at once apparent"
1t can hardly be eXaggeration to as.
sert that the invention of a no;seless and
smoKeless powder will change the aspect
of future battleiields and the conditions
of future war, fully as much as the
original introduct.on of the "villainous
saltpetre" changed the warfare of past
age. Times Democrat.

A Perfect Model of African Beauty.

Paradoxical as it may seem, writes the
veracious Joe Howard the prettiest
model in New York is a colored girl who
lives in Yonkers. She is a perfect type
of Africa's golden sand, with a low
forehead, jet black eyes, extended nos -
trils, thick lips, white teeth, but for all
that, the most attractive in appearance,
with a figure that is statuesquely superb.
She stands straight as an arrow, is
twenty years old, weighs l35 pounds,
and is as full of life and blood as it is
possible for human nature to be. During
the months of October, November and
thence on TO May, she readily makes
from S5 to $40 day five days in the
week.

Living Cheerrully on Two Cents Day.

DIR. 7. r. Allison has been trying the
experiment of living on meal and water
for a month. His daily allowance was
one pound of whole meal, made into a
cake with distilled water. His account
of his condition after aweek is cheering.
In the first few days he felt hungry, but
about the fourth day this disappeared
and he had no craving for other food.
His brain was clear, his lung capacity
had increased FIVE inches, and both his
sight and hearing had improved. He
had lost seven pounds weight, but seems
to regard this as rather an advantage.
Altogether he feels thoroughly satisfied
with his experiment. 1t is very econ
omical one, the wheat for seven days hav-
ing cost only sixteen cents. This, he
says, is living on almost two cents day,
and enjoying it. t.-LOHton Hospital.

A Queer Ola Piano.

In New Haven Conn auction room
an old piano manufactured by Broad
head a Co, in London, about the year
1889, has Just been sold. The piano IS
only four and a half octaves, and the
case is CORES pondingly shorter than the
modern square and considerably shall
lower. The case is of mahogany inlaid
with maple, and must have been very
handsome piece of cabinet work when
first built. There are no legs. the M
strument having been intended to be
placed upon a stand like a music box.
Neither are there pedals, two registers
like organ stops taking their places.
One register transmits a heavy volume
of sound, while the other gives banjo
like melody, which is very pleasing.

Delicious Mode of Roasting.

Roasting IS very delicious mode OF
cooking meats, but it is almost unknown
in these days. unless an open fire place
is convenient; for such the following
rules may be given: Keep the meat at a
moderate distance from the fire. See
that it is kept continually turned and
well basted with butter or meat drip
pings, as much of the richness of flavor
depends upon this matter. When
nearly done, put the roast close to the
fire to render the outside brown and
crisp; and add salt and pepper to the
gravy. y.-HOusetite.
