Professor Spring, of the University Of
Liege, has carefully investigated the question
of the color of water, and has reached some
interesting conclusions. According to him,
absolute pure water, when seen in masses Of
sufficient thickness, is blue, and all the varie-
ties Of color exhibited in lakes and streams
arise from the presence in the water of min
eral salts of different degrees Of solubility
and in varying quantities Water contain
ing carbonate of lime in state Of almost
complete solution remains blue, but il the
solution is less complete the water will have
a tinge of green, which will grow stronger
as the point of precipitation is approached.
Professor Spring concludes that IL lime is
added to blue water in which so much car
Donate of lime is already dissolved that the
point of saturation is approached the water
win become green. In proof Of this he cites
the fact that the water near the shores Of
lakes and seas, where it comes in contact
with limestone, Is generally of greener hue
than Observation-Disclosures.

Opposite our house was large field, In
which some twelve or thirteen cows were
put during the summer months. One day a
German band commenced to play on the road
which divided the house from the field. The
cows were quietly grazing at the other end
of the field, but no sooner did they bear the
music than they at once advanced toward it
and stood with their heads over the wall at
tentively listening. This might have passed
unnoticed, but upon the musicians going
away the animals followed them as well as
they could on the other side OF the wall, and
when they could get nc further stood lowing
pitsously. So excited did the cows become
that some Of them ran round and round the
field TO try 10 get out, but, finding no outlet,
returned TO the corner where they had lost
sight Of the band, and it was some time be-
fore they seemed s=sisfed that the sweet
sounds were really gone.--Amsrican Natural

A rather amusing illustration Of the eager
ness of women shoppers for bargains was wit
messed in a Brooklyn store recently. In the
Sunday papers an advertisement Of sale of
silks was printed which was intended to an
nounce that they would be sold at SO cents per
yard, the original price being 81. Through
some typographical inadvertence the adver-
tisement read that the silks would be sold at
5 cents q yard, instead of 60 The women in
Brooklyn spent restless Sunday night for
fear they would not waken early in the morn
ing to take advantage of the generous offer
One lady cautioned her husband to call her
early and murmured as she drifted into
dreamland "Tll buy two pieces of that silk /;
twill be so nice for linings.n Early the next
day, before the clerks Of that department ar
rived, the women stood in line waiting grimly
for the opening of the sale. The different
expressions of disgust disappointment and
modification on their faces may be better
imagined than described as they turned and
filed out of the store again, leaving the en-
barrassed salesman alone with his confusion
and his bargains New York Sun.

FROM NEW PROVIDENCE.
Points About People And Things in the
Village Over the Red.

The New Providence Reading Club
has again been resurrected from the
oblivion into which it had seemingly
fallen. It's initial meeting was held
Monday night at the residence of
DIR. Wyatt. Prof. Law was chosen
president pro tenn, after which the
following officers were elected f; pres
ident, Mrs. Chatham; vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Oldham; secretary, Prof.
Law. They mapped out a program
for the next meeting, which will be
held next Monday night at the resi-
dence of J. r. Resseter. We hope
the new organization will be perma-
rent and complete, as they could
have elected no persons more fitted
for the positions which they hold
than the present corps of officers.
Miss Ida Hester, of Chicago, who
has been visiting the family of j. r.
Rosseter for several weeks, has gone
to Elkton for short stay, from
whence she will return here for
another visit berore going to her
northern home Miss Allie May

Jas. Hatcher has about recovered
from a severe attack of la grippe.
V. M. Smith has gone to Nashville
on business.-Several of the boys
took an outing Sunday. They caught
"suckers," and one or two of them
come back with their pockets laden
with fish.
Elder Northcross occupied the pull
pit at the Christian church Sunday
and Sunday night.

McKinley's committee is all
broken up on the tariff bill again and
no report win be made this week.
1t seems utterly impossible for the
Republicans to frame an equitable
tariff upon the idea of protecting one
class of citizens against another, and
every attempt exposes the protection
fraud and brings storm of indigna-
tion and curses. The proposition to
put sugar on the free list and pay
home growers two cents pound
bounty won't take and the commit
tee is in a muddle.

The Cause of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect OF ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilerts Ex-
tract Of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Elert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

not be dsluded with the idea that
such bill will pass. 1t would re-
