For the Ellsworth Americana
Her Songs.

Oh, could hear her sing once more,
Those sweet wild strains she used to sing
Oh, could hear the echoes ring
Like laughter through an open door!
The music her dear fingers made
Has haunted me where'er I've strayed.
How sweetly passed those youthful hours
did not try to stay them then.
Again, thought, and still again
III hear her sing amid the flowers.
But days so bright will fade away,
And l am left alone to-day.
There's many thing to bring us pain,
1t grieves me much that friends are dead,
1t grieves me cen that youth has fed;
My heart has felt full many blow,
But, oh, it pains me most to know
cannot hear her sing again.

sure they will wait long time ere this

Dead Organic Matter il Boiled Water.

A recent writer, referring to the usu-
ally accepted assertion that the most
impure water is rendered pure by boil
ing. and that in this there is au abso-
lutte safeguard against the danger Of
water containing disease germs, calls
attention to the fact that, while the
boiling will undoubtedly kill the germs
Of disease. so high an authority AS DR..
Cresson declares. in the "Annals Of
Hygiene" the tendency Of such boil
ing to be, in reality, to render the wa
ter more impure than it was before.
because by the very death of these
germs, dead organic matter is allowed
to remain in the water. which is pol.
lifted by putrefac,ion. According to
this, therefore, while boiling is most
desirable precaution against the occur
renee of typhoid or similar diseases,
when circumstances favor the belief
that the drinking waller in use contains
germs Of the disease in question. the
important point IS to be borne in mind
that this boiling does not really purify
the water, but simply removes from it
the specific power to produce specific
disease.
