ANIMALS IN WATER.
Where the Millions of Creatures in
Drinking Water Come From and
How They Should be Disposed of.


Drinking Water Come From and
How They Should be Disposed of.
81 cannot understand the carelessness of
people" This remark was made by leading
New York chemist who was Just making an
analysis for the Board OF Health.
''Take the subject of drinking water for in
stance. What sensible man or woman who
ever held glass of water up to the light felt
that 1t was pure? Even a near-sighted person
can see that 1t is full of vegetable and animal
matter. In the city, where water is allowed
TO accumulate in tanks on the top of the roofs
naturally the bottom of the tank becomes
covered with black mud. In the country
wells are simply DRAWINGS from the surface
water, outhouses often from barns and stables.
Is 1t any wonder it is impure? Is it any
wonder people get sick from drinking il
Some people boil the water, and while this
may Kill the live germs, it does not remove
them nor remove the vegetable matter which
may be In the water and which Is often
poisonous. The safest way for any one to do
Is TO mix little pure whisky with the water
and thus wholly counteract all evil effects
which may be in any water however impure
Doctors advise this and science confirms it.
But, only the purest whisky should be used
and DufIy's Pure Malt is admitted both bv
doctors and scientists to be the purest of all
modern whiskies. Besides tortifying the
system against disease, it also tones mn
makes the sluggish blood circulate and re-
places weakness by strength"

Emperor Bill Likely. to he Received
With Enthusiasm in London. .
LONDON, June 29.-All signs point to an
enthusiastic reception Of the German en-
pcror. If there are any anarchists or So
cialists who mediate trouble they may
learn that, while the British law deals
leniently with insults to royalty, British
mob does not, and the German emperor is
just now quite favorite in Great Britain
In his heart the Englishman dslikes
France, while he recognizes the German
kinship, and this feeling was strongly dis
played during the Franco Prussian war
Queen Victoria will take no part in the
public reception to the emperor, partly be-
cause she wished the emperor and not her
self to be the central figure of the display
and partly also beca use she wishes to make
the prince OF Wales prominent as the repre-
sentative Of the English royalty.
The queen will personally receive the en-
peror at Windsor next Saturday. He is her
1avorite grandchild, chiefly on account of
his mother to whom the. queen is deeply
attached, and partly also because Victoria
is said to have grandmother's faith in the
kaiser's future as an arbiter in the affairs or
Europe, and confidence that he will yet
win military fame Tor the rather unmiiitary
house o. Hanover. Hs ~
