Facts You May Have Forgotten.

The tallest men of West Europe are
found in Catalonia, Spain; Normandy,
France; Yorkshire, England, and the
Ardennes districts OF Belgium. In the
United States the thirty-eighth parallel,
ranging through Indiana and Northern
Kentucky, is as decidedly the latitude
Of big men as the forty-Second is that
of big cities. The tallest men Of South
America are found in the Western prov
inces of the Argentine Republic, Of
Asia in Afghanistan and Kaypootana,
of Africa in the highlands Of Abyssinta.
The potato was introduced into Eu-
rope from the western hemisphere. His
tory has it that Christopher Columbus
was the first European who ever tasted
A potatO, but the vegetable that he ate
az Cuba in 1892 and brought to Geneva
was the sweet potato. The first potato
grown east Of the Atlantic ocean was
planted by ClsdiuS in the botanical gar
dens Of Virginia In 1883. Sir Walter
Raleigh found the potato in Virginia
and took specimens back to England.
Licorice root comes principally from
Asia Minor, and is the root OF q bush
not more than thee or four feet high.
The dried roots are sent to Bagdad and
thence to London and America. The
black licorice stick in the drug stores
comes mostly from Spain, aud is made
OF pure Juice mixed with little starch,
which prevents it from melting in warm
weather. The word licoriee means
'sweet root" and is Of Greek origin.
The hill near Jerusalem where the
crucifixion of Jesus occurred, is formed

SToCKs-The stock market lost little or
none of it's listlessDess, and the lack oil
feature to day and dizziness were stu the
most prominent characteristics Of the trad
ing, while in the great majority OF stocks
only slight changes were recorded from
the opening to the close. In few stocks,
however, the bears were still active
and aggressive, but the demonstration
made against these shares was be-
lieved TO be for the most part TO cover
the buying of other stocks for the short
account, The Gould stocks, especially
Missouri Pacific, were chosen to bear the
brunt Of the attack during the forenoon.
Northern Pacific pref, red, however,
showed considerable heaviness, accom-
panied by a moderate degree Of activity.
The market, however, still continues under
the influence Of possible adverse devel-
opments on the other side OF the
water and the leading operators are indis-
posed 10 take any steps looking to any new
ventures until things are more 10 their lk-
ing, both at home and abroad. The attempt
to kin Mr.. Sage intensified the dullRess
during the afternoon and 1t was not until
the last hour that the bears again became
aggressive and this time they coupled Lack
awanna with Missouri Pacific and forced
them off to the lowest prices seen for the
day. The close was heavy and quiet at or
near the lowest prices of the day for most

HARD AND SOFT WATER.
a Scientinc Analysis Of Their Dirsren,
Properties.

a Scientific Analysis OF Their Different
Properties.
The difference between 'hard" and
'sofr" water is that the former con-
ta;ns in greater or less degree earthly
salts, while the latter is nearly free
from them and in a greater state of
purity. The earth most frequently oc-
curing in natural waters is lime. Tho
quantity of earthly salts varies consider
ably IN different instances. 1t is OBJ
served, says the Brooklyn Eagle, that
when they exist in the proportion Of
Ave grains to pint such water will be
hard and unfit for washing and many
other household uses and manufactures.
The solvent properties of water are the
true causes why we never obtain this
universal and important fluid in q state
Of absolute purity. Il constantly par
ticipates in the properties of the mani
fold sources whence it is derived, or
through which, we obtain il. When
ever it is in contact with the soil it in
variably dissolvcs the soluble constitu-
ents, and hence it follows at water
springing from rocks which arc ONLY
ite. is very pure, and is called soft
water, while that which is derived from
calcarcous formations is termed hard
water, and contains lime. which pro-
duccs anincrustation on the sides and
bottom of the vessel wherein it is
boiled. Pure water is known only to
the chemist, for all the ordinary kinds
of water contain either gaseous, saline
or organic matters. For chemical pur-
ooses water is obtained by distillation.
