Is not life full of opportunities for
learning love? Every man and woman
every day has score Of them. The
world is not Playground; it is a
schoolroom. Life is not holiday, but
an education. And the one eternal
lesson for us all is how better we can
love.
A medical authority says: If in any
house there should occur case of ty-
phoid fever or diphtheria, test the
drinking water at once. Procure an
ounce of saturated solution of perm
manganate of potash from your drug
gist. If when n drop of the solution is
added to tumbler of water, its color
is changed to n brown, the water is not
fit to drink; if it remains clear or
slightly rose color, after an hour, it is,
commonly speaking, safe. This is a
simple way of testing your drinking
water, and it would be very good
plan to do ii.
Prophecying for the ensuing winter.
Prophet Foster says: 1t will be the
coolest and most stormy, especially
deep and drifting SHOWS, that has been
experienced for many years. Very
cold weather, earlier than usual, will
cover the states and territories of the
northwest and Mis-, orr river valleys,
with deep SHOWS that will fall, and the
numerous fierce storms that will occur,
travel and transportation will be great
ly impeded. About the middle of De-
cember the weather will become warm
Grand average so until about the first of
January, 1892, when the cold wave will
come again and February will average
colder than has been experienced in
many years past.

Men are superior to women in but
very few things, possibly not more than
one; but if there is only one advantage
to the credit of men it is the habit,
which, as a class, women have and men
do not have, of being confidential on
short acquaintance with members of
their own sex. The average woman, as
soon as she gets n new acquaintance
among women, behaves as though she |
had found a new supply of sympathy |
and appreciation, and proceeds to re-
veal her past history, her hopes, her |
griefs, her SORROWS. She gets in return |
all the confidence aid commiseration |
she hoped to get, and then, about week |
after next, she begins to regret that she |
told so much. Men are different. They |
may tell rs much to new acquaint- |
ance, but they will never regret their |
They simply declare that
they never said thus or 80 and that

Port Huron. 1t was sold by John Nc
Neil and wife, of Boston, to Simeon
of Batavia, n. Y, and the

afterwards sold the 533 acres
to Chas. Butler, an attorney of New
York city, for S125,000, and hence the
name Buffers plat. The first deed re-
corded in st. Clair county, that there
is at present any record of, was pat
ent from the United States government
to Alex Cummings, of Fort Gratiot, and
was described as follows: The north
