woods, where they whipped her nearly to death.
There was at the time in the house visiting her

Hard and Soft Water.

The difference between "harl" and
'soft" water is that the former contains
in greater or less degree earthly salts.
while the latter is nearly free from them
and in q greater state of purity. The
earth most frequently occurring in nat
ural waters is lime. The quantity OF
earthly salts varies considerably in differ
ent instances. It is observed that when
they exist in the proportion Of five
grains to n pint such water will be hard.
and will be unfit for washing and many
other household uses and manufactures.
The solvent properties Of water are tho
true causes why we never obtain this
universal and important fluid in a state
of absolute purity. It constantly par
6cipates in the properties of the mani
fold sources whence it is derived or
through which we obtain it.
Whenever water is in contact with the
soil it invariably dissolves the soluble
constituents. and hence it follows that
water springing from rocks which are
only slightly soluble. as sandstone and
granite. is very pure and is called soft
water. while that which is derived from
calcareous formations is termed hard
water. and contains lime, which pro-
duces an incrustation on the sides and
bottom Of the vessel wherein it is boiled.

The typewriter was invented us long
ago as 17l4 by one Henry Mills, who in
that year obtained u patent in this coun-
try for q device that would write
printed characters one at time, or one
after the other" There is no descrip-
ton of this device to he had now, but
there is no doubt that Mills invention
was the parent Of the present typewriter.
In 1888 French patent was granted to
M. Progrin (Xavier,. of Marseilles, for a
typewriter, which is called typograph-
tcal machine. The account of the ma
chine is somewhat obscure. but enough
is given to show that it was an operative
one by which typewriting could be fairly
well executed. M. Foucalt sent to the
Paris exhibition in 1866 a writing ma
chine for the blind, and several type
writers were invented by Wheatstone.

Law Case That Has Cost $4,000.
The Cathcart case has been one of the

prove to have been one of the most ex,
pensive. Sir z. Russell had $50 guineaa

during the sixteen days the inquiry has
lasted. Sir Henry james fees have been
on the same scale. Each of the learned
leaders has, therefore, t>ken l ,05O guineas,
in fees for court work. Apart from this.
Sir Charles has had two guineas for each
consultation and he has attended one at
least every day. Mr.. Bucknill, q. c..
and Mr.. lnderwick, q. g., have had
fifty guineas marked on their briefs and
nearly seventeen guineas day. Two
grants Of e1,000 each have already been
made out of the estate by the order Of

farthing Of these sums has been spent.

A horrible accident occurred on
the N. P. between Buffalo and
Tower city Sunday morning, which
resulted IN the engineer and fireman
of a stock train being burned to a
crisp and one or two brakemen be-
ing badly burned. Fifteen carloads
of stock were also burned. The
cause of the disaster was from. an oil
car that broke loose from a side
track and started down grade at the
rate of forty miles an hour. A
brakeman was on the car, but could
not work the brakes and the flying
car rushed headleng into the stock
train that was coming the other way.
The conclusion caused the oil car
to explode and in very few minutes
the fearful holocaust had taken place.
No blame, it is thought, can be laid
to the railroad men as the brake on
the oil car was defective and could
not be worked.
