Apropos of q remark attributed to
Bismarck, that he had been the means of
liberating so, 900 human souls from their
encumbering carcasses, q writer in Har-
Esr's Weekly raises the question whether
Bismarck is as great a man as DR.. Koch,
who bids fair just now to score his four
score thousand, and indefinitely more,
Of lives preserved ever year. DIR. Koch
must be conceded to be a very great fell
low If his lymph does all he hopes it will,
says HrGnL Leslie's. But, after all, the
importance of lives lies not In their num-
Der, but in their quality. There are
plenty Of people in the world, and in
Europe especially there is no little dis.
position to consider that the man who
creates $4,000 vacant situations does as
well by his country as the one who pre-
SCENTS SO, 600 unexpected applicants for
work. Speaking Of England, General
Booth declares that it would be more
merciful to poison her Submerged
TENTH ont of the world than to let them
live on as they do. There are plenty Of
lives for use, and If Bismarck's work was
worth 30, 900 Of them, it must not be
condemned because Of its price any moro
than stanley's last trip is necessarily to
be condemned Of analogous grounds.

A Criminal Family.

Some months ago there were two
prisoners, husband and wife, charged
with crime. Mr.. Wheatley, Secretary
Of the St. Giles Mission, learned that
they had a large family of children, and
these he made it his business TO dis
cover. There were six of them-one. q
baby at the breast, was with the mother;
the other five were huddled together in a
small room in Paddington. A little in
curry revealed an appalling state of
things. The mother was sentenced to
eighteen months Imprisonment, the
father, being an old offender, received a
long term of penal servitude. The
grandfather was doing penal servitude,
the grandmother was in prison, an uncle
was awaiting his trial in a provincial
town, while the aunt had a warrant out
against her. Thus, the whole family
group were in the grasp of the law.
Proper steps were, however, taken, and
the five little ones secured; one, a boy,
was placed in a school; another boy was
sent to the country, where he is in wise
hands; the other three-girls, aged, re-
spectiyely, two, four and six-were put
into one of the soclety's homes, and have
since been transferred to a home at the
seaside Pail MaU Iondon) Gazette.

New York's Aqueduct SURPRISES ALI.

In all ages a plentiful supply of whole
some water has been Aconsidered the
greatest benefit which Jcould be con-
ferred on a community; and ever to this
day in some lands the Sa2aters are held
sacred and w~orshiped as the source of
life. The s'sacred Ganges'6 in India is
wershiped by the Hindus, and even
among Christian nations the worship of
wells was at time general.
But the efforts made in all ages and
all lands to collect and distribute water
find their crowning elimination in this
nineteenth century of ours. The new
Croton Aqueduct is the greatest and most
capacious water .carrierin the world, and
will bring from the Croton and Bronx
River watersheds a supply of their crys-
tai torrents sufficient for a population of
2,120, 600, or SOC, 900 more than the
population of New York City.
The ancient Romans knew the value OF
good water, and in the reign of Nerva
there were nine aqueducts sspouring
rivers into every part of Rome;" and
Rone's decay dates from the seige of the
Cloths, who broke the a~queducts, and,
by thus cutting off the water supply,
brought the city to submission. It is
not saying too much to declare that the
future greatness of New York depends
upon its water supply as much as Rome's
did, although there is not the same risk
of al invading force.-New York Jour
nal.

What an Indian Can Stand.

To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, / may tell of an incident
which happened during the winter l was
with them. Toward evening on 9 very
cold winter day, when it was showing
just a little and drifting a great deal, an
Indian came to the log house with a JUG
half full of whisky and with his rife. I
imagine that the jug had been entirely
full of whisky when he started, and by
the time he got to the house he was in
rather q jolly condition. The Jug and
the rife were taken away from him, and
he was ordered to get to his wigwam as
as quick as be could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not come home that
night, and as the night was cold she had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found in one of the sheds near
the barn under a heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his W squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appar-
emily the Indian was a frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out of the nov bank and
dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose of watering the cattle. Laying the
Indian out on the snow, she took the
pan that was beside the hole, and, fill
ing it repeatedly, dashed paiIful after
paiful of ice water over the body of the
Indian. BY the time the other unsuc-
cessful searchers had returned she had
her old mar thawed out and seated by
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
BY the others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, he would have
died.-Dedro1 Free Press.

The trusts in manufactured gas may

The origin of the National Marine
Band at Washington is most curious.
Nearly q hundred years ago, alleges the
New York World, a Yankee Captain kid
mapped 9 strolling troop Of musicians on
the shores of the Bay Of Naples and
brought them to this country. From
this handful Of Italia @ the band was de-
veloped. The descendants of these
stolen Italians are now among the
wealthiest people of Washington. Some
of them are prominent lawyers, and
others have their names connected with

who has found that, contrary to what
takes place in vertebrates, the movement

active. The air is driven from
the body by contractile effort. Hence,
when the insect is wounded, the flow of
blood occurs at each expiration. There.
movement is not interrupted by
off the head, nor by the absorp-
ion of curare, which produces an imme-
1iate cessation in man.
