CONTAMINATED WATER.
Impurities Usually Present in tho Water
Supply OF cities md Towns.

Impurities Usually Present in the Water
supply of Cities and Towns.
A writer in a Milwaukee journal,
speaking of the water supplies OF cities
generally, says: To one who has for
many years examined with a microscope
the water supply of cities, IL appears
incredible that persons can be found
who are willing TO take into their SIS
TENS the denominations and filth which
are all the time present. The water
swarms with life, to which must be
added the vegetable forms, almost as
numerous, and finally the millions of
bacteria, and infusoria whose numbers
are limitless.
Such things are Objectionable enough
when living, but they die and rot like
larger animals, often by change of tenn
perature merely, in such immense num-
bers as to charge the drinking water
with sulphureted hydrogen; this causes
the offensive, putrid odor noticed
In water during the summer;
again on the banks of lakes,
in which water is stored for
city and town supply, there abound
masses of weeds of all desert ptions
which die In due season and rot In
this condition vegetable matter passes
into the water supply, and being COM
ninuted by friction in pipes, appears in
minute PARTICLES, which can be seen
aoating in every glass Of water.
People who hold up to the light a
glass OF water which looks bright and
good, excepting this innocent, fine-look-
ing sediment, little think that when the
sediment is accumulated in bulk, it has
the odor OF tobacco juice, and sicken-
ing odor as repulsive as filth can make
it Who would eat such a mass of con-
taminations? Then, why drink IL in
small quantities in every glass of water
you use? Typhoid fever turks in every
particle OF this deposit, and the smallest
doses carry contagion.
The same forms and impurities are
usually present in the water supply Of
all cities and towns.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
A baroness who Thinks More OF Her
Horses Than of Their Grooms.

a Baroness Who Thinks More of Her
Horses Than of Their Grooms.
An extraordinary case has been oc-
cupying the law courts at Vienna dur
ing the past week. Four grooms in
the service of Baroness Won Stahlberg
brought an action against her for dam
ages for injuries received in her stables,
which the grooms described as para
disc for horses and hell for u,en."
From the evidence OF the witnesses IL
appeared that the Baroness was in the
habit OF entering the stable at moo, and
OF remaining until early the next morn
ing. During the time she was there
she fed the animals with sugar and
cakes and encouraged them to kick and
bite the grooms. whom she kept In con-
slant attendance upon the horses, then
forcing them to stay up all night
10 wash and feed them. One o.
the witnesses stated that he had been dis
missed by the Baroness for insulting"
a particularly vicious horse by cursing
it for having both kicked and bitten
him. At least twenty of the persons in
court bore traces of injuries received in
the stable of the Baroness
Fortunately there are but few horse
women like her in Austria, and the rae
ing stables of Countess Marie Apponyi
and of Countess Livia Itchy are re-
gsrded by the grooms and Jockeys as a
paradise for the men as well as for the
horses Countess Apponyi has her rae
ing colors duly registered at the Jockey
Club and is famous in the sporting
world for having won the Austrian
Derby twice in succession She is the
owner of the well known horse Nemesis.
Here in Berlin there are also several
ladies Of aristocrscy who own racing
stables. none of which. however. has as
vet achieved the celebrity of that pos

far as his house was concerned, and lived
In house Of much less pretension than
would now satisfy his heirs, even after
he had money enough to buy a palace,
but none the less it is true that the sue

From tho plain, comfortable coun-

he had made million dollars year for
his whole life, but he was talking aver
ages, for when he was 35 he was worth
about CSC, 900 only. and had said only
few years before that no man had right
to own more than 100000.
His fathers house was snug cottage
in the village Of Edgewater, now Staple

though it is over 100 years old, having
been enlarged somewhat, however, by
moremodern additions. There the 'com-

Here's Your Sea Serpent.

The sea serpent has again been seen,
as usual, by q man Of "unquestioned We
racity," who is also resident of South
Egremont, Mass. This favored individ-
ual went fishing at Twin Lakes, Conn.,,
the other morning about o'clock. As
he paused on the bank he noticed what
he at first supposed was Q blackened
stump sticking up out Of the ewater about
100 feet from shore. He was rather sur
prised at the sight, as at that particular
spot the water is known to be seventy
five feet deep. While yet he looked the
object disappeared from sight. to reap
pear again in moment at another spot
perhaps fifty feet distant.
In moving it left o very perceptible
wake, and as it again rose to the sur
face the fisherman, to use the words of
the local report, ''saw that the object, il
not lineal descendant Of the original
sea serpent, was at least the largest
snake ever seen in that section. As 1t re-
appeared it reared its head fully six feet
above the water. The head of itself was
fiat and about two feet in length, the
neck arched, and the body, which con-
tinued to grow larger the nearer it ap-
preached the water line, was from ten to
twelve inches In diameter. The snake
once more disappeared and, swimming
In circle, came up again somewhat
nearer the shore" After his first sur
prise had little abated the man be-
thought himself that il he desired to
spread the story abroad 1t would be well
to gather few witnesses who could cor
roborate his statements. But he found
none, and while he searched the marine
monster disappeared.

that they should be content. He lived
