THE WATER NOTION.

1t is expected that at the meeting of the
board of aldermen this evening the scheme
of Mayor Sargent for the confscation of
the Water company's property by the city
will again come up. There has been q
curious delay in this matter, and this de-
lay has seriously interfered with the work
and efficiency of the board of aldermen.
The mayor was determined to put the
scheme through if possible, and his choice
of committeeman was not made until he
had we'll calculated what effect it would
have. Meanwhile the business of the city
is the best time for work at the
City Hall, is almost over. But
the way now seems clear and it
is to be hoped that something will be
done. What ought to be done with the
water scheme, and all other such schemes,
is to dispose of them as promptly and
efficaciously as possible. The people of
the city are in no mood to bear heavier
taxation in order that Socialistic expert
ments may be tried. They are not CONT
planning aboht the Water company. They
realize that the company's treatment of
them is reasonable and equitable, and in
full and faithful accordance with the con-
tract made ten years ago. In spite of
the efforts of a few interested persons,
there is no water question, and there is
no general disposition TO raise one. The
board of aldermen should promptly dis
pose of the scheme and go about its real
business.

ARSENIC.


A committee of the Massachusetts, legis-
lature is investigating the use of arsenic in
manufactures. Boston dealers affirm that
they do not sell goods which are saturated
with arsenic and that their wall papers and
draperies are subjected to the tests OF
chemical experts before they are purchased
from the factories. They also affirm that
at the present time almost no American
goods in these lines contain this poison.
The manufacturers have been obliged to
that they could do without it. The Eng
lish manufacturers, however, are under nc
such necessity. 1t is these goods at the
present time which are most Objectionable
as containing arsenical matter.
The Boston Herald finds that the testi-
mony of those who are statesmen in the
stores where these goods are sold, and of
those who make up draperies and hang
wall paper, is that in very few instances
are evil effects experienced from the hand
ling of them. The American goods are
now practically free from poisonous mat
ter, and there is very little danger from
their use. 1t is urged, for this reason,
that no legislation is necessary, but from
many quarters the facts accumulated
go to show that goods are frequently o.
sale which are dangerous to the public
health, and it is difficult to believe that
they will not be distributed among the
people, if the use of arsenic in them is moi
prohibited by law.

Treasure Trove I'm the Hebrfdes.
From the Glasgow Herald


Considerable interest has been aroused
at Portree by the discovery of a large
number of old English silver coins, which
appear to have been coined about the year
300 They "ere found under the follow
ing circumstances: While William Brown,
rabbit trapper, was engaged at work one
day last week at a point on the shore sew
en- miles north or Portree, and lying be-
low Storr Rock, he observed near q fresh
rabbit-burrow something shining bright
This turned ont to be foreign silver coin
about the size of our form Some days
afterwards he discovered another of the
same kind They were both in an excel
lent state of preservation, though thin and
of light weight. They were handed over
to the Procurator- Fiscal. who transmitted
them to the exchequer Office in Edinburgh.
Mr.. Reginald Macleod, in acknowledge
ing receipt of the interesting coins, states
he is informed they appear to belong to
the mintage of the Samisn dynasty, and
that they are required for the National
Museum The finder Brown is to receive
the sum of nine shillings, which is SC
counted their value. Believing that the
coins discovered were thrown up by the
rabbits burrowing under the rock, and
that it was more than probable other coins
were concealed, the authorities instituted
search After clearing away a consider
able quantity of earth, and removing a
piece of the rock, there We're found in q
small cleft one hundred and FIVE silver
coins and twenty-three small pieces, as If
broken off silver bars. They were thickly
crusted over with earth, but on being
washed clean they were found to be in q
remarkably fine state of preservation
Ninety of them appear to be old English
coins of the time of Athelstan and Ed
ward-whether Edward the Confessor OF
the immediate predecessor of Athelstsn Is
not known, as they do not seem to bear a
date. They are thin, light and about the
size of our shilling. On the diverse side
some have the words Athelstan Rex Brit,
others Edward Rex Brit. in old English
characters. On one only is there a bust of
the sovereign, an Edward, which is a
somewhat rude figure. In several cases
on the reverse side is a representation of
building resembling a church, and similar
emblems, believed to be of sacred char
acter-
History records that Athelstan encour-
aged coming, and it appears from his laws
that the archbishops, bishops and even alb
bots had the privilege of coming. May
not some Of these be the production of the
scclesiastics: But how they got there is
mystery. The other fifteen were some
what similar to the first two discovered
about the size of forin and very thin,
but the characters standing ont in distinct
relief. They are believed TO be the coin
age of some eastern dynasty Among the
uncoined pieces was one twisted bar,
weighing about six ounces, and several
smaller pieces weighing from one ounce to
two ounces. One larger piece, as Of a
shield or hamlet, was well engraved. The
whole find has been forwarded to Edin-
burgh as treasure trove.

Keeping the Scalp Clean.

INC hAuAcc hAA4e-I
Combing with a fine tooth comb and
wetting the scalp every day are practices
which induce scalp disease and create dan
drutf. The fine comb should be used only
occasionally, and that not enough TO irri-
tate the skin. The head should be washed
carefully with soap and water at least once
a week, and If one is working in places
where there is great deal of dust in the
air this process should be gone through
with oftener. Too much water closes up
the oil glands of the scalp, and makes the
head dry and hard.
Premature badness and dandruff follow
If in spite of all this the scalp is still too
dry an occasional application of little hair
oil or sweet oil may be used, but nature SIS
a rule supplies sufficient oil for all needful
purposes. Water and oil applied freely to
the hair make a filthy and unpleasant head
of hair, ami it should be avoided as much
as possible

RUSSIA AND ITS RULER.
Ex-Minfster Lambert Tree Gives tn,
Other Side of the Picture.

other Side of the Picture.
IT. c. Crawford in the New York Tribunel
Judge Lambert Tree after having served
for several years at the Belgian court as
our minister was then sent to st. Peters
burg, where he lived for over a year. 1
asked him the other evening to give me
his idea of the car and the administration
of affairs in Russia. There is less actual
ly known about the Russian ruler than
about any of the other sovereigns of Eu-
rope. The Russian government is also
subject of continual misrepresentation.
This Misrepresentation reaches this coun-
try to a great extent through the English
newspapers. England is Russia's great ri
val in the east, and consequently opposes
Russia in every possible way. The stories
of despotism, savage cruelty and bad ad-
ministration charged against Russia by the
English newspaper press are often gross
misrepresentation. Many of the stories
published concerning the czar are also fc-
tions. The tales concerning his manner of
life as published in London are in the
main untrue.
The car is one of the handsomest men
in Europe. He is now approaching mid
die life. He is over six feet high and is
one of the most powerful of men. He
has the broad shoulders, muscular arms
and the tremendous thighs of an athlete.
He has unusual strength even for his great
size. There is no man in .he Russian
army who has his physical vigor and
strength. Wonderful tales are related
concerning the displays of his strength
which he has sometimes given. He can
| twist horse shoe with his two hands
with the greatest of ease, and in the full
| flush of his youthful vigor he has been
known to bend q wrought-iron poker dou-
BILE by exerting the full strength of his
| two arms. He has large head and dark
1 complexion. His hair is brown and worn
short. His eyes are dark His nose is
| large and straight. A moustache and q
broad, full imperial shade the lower part
of his face. He always wears uniform.
In the privacy of his library even he wears
undress uniform He never wears civil
ian dress except when travelling outside of
his own country. He is magnificent
horseman and is highly educated in every
branch of military tacties. He is one of
the most accomplished linguists in Eu-
| rope He speaks Russian, of course, in
cluding several of its dialects, French
German, English, italian, Spanish, Swe
dish and Danish. He is one of the hard
est worked men in Europe The stories

stantly employed in this work. The pupils
receive their teaching at the cell doors, as
it was found that when all were collected
together in one room, many came simply
for the privilege of getting out of their
cells for time, while some who needed
instruction most stayed away rather than
expose their ignorance to their fellow
prisoners. The teacher reports that some
of the prisoners have made great progress
and that the instruction has excellent re-
suits in the direction of reform.
1t is decided by the Supreme court of
Massachusetts that the legislature cannot
give authority to a town or city to erect, at
the municipal expense, a building for the
use of a Grand Army post The case in
which this opinion was given arose in
Brockton, where the city council had voted
forty thousand dollars for memorial build
ing for the use in part of the local Grand
Army post. The court holds that this is
not public use, and therefore grants the
injunction prayed for to restrain the city
from building the hall. The court, in its
opinion, takes notice of recent act au-
thorizing towns and cities to lease to Grand
Army posts any part of public building
except school houses actually in use, but
says that this act applies to existing build
ings and does not authorize the erection at
the public charge of new buildings for the.
purpose of leasing them at q nominal rent
to the Grand Army.
