Impure Drinking Water,

In securing and maintaining good
health, pure water is as needful as
wholesome food. Many of the most
virulent diseases follow the use of
drinking water contaminated by the
drainage from cesspools. A we'll or
spring, that for generations past may
have afforded an abundance of the
purest water, is easily rendered unfit
for culinary or drinking purposes by
such impurities. In these cases the
owner of the property is unwittingly to
blame. Hence, if the privy vault is SO
located that the drainage from it is liza
bic to find its way into the well or other
source of water supply, il should be
moved further away, or the vault filed
up with fresh lime and earth and
changed to dry earth closet. In fact,
with the dry earth system, no danger
need be apprehended from contaminat-
ing the water or atmosphere, --AmerR

A Summer without Nights.

To the summer visitor in Sweden
there is nothing more striking than the
almost total absence of night. At
Stockholm, the Swedish capital, the
sun goes down few minutes before
ten o'clock and rises at four hours later
during a greater part of the month Of
June. But the four hours the sun lies
hidden in the frozen north are not
hours of darkness-the refraction Of
his rays as he passes around the north
pole makes midnight as light as cloudy
midday, and enables one to read the
finest print without artificial light at
any time during the might" At the
head of the gulf of Bothnia, there is a
mountain on the summit of which the
sun shines perpetually during the five
days of June 10, 20, 81, % and 20. Every
six hours during this season of con-
tinued sunshine steamer leaves Stock
holm crowded with visitors anxious to
witness the phenomenon. At the same
place during winter the sun disappears
and is not seen for weeks; then it comes
in sight again for ten, fifteen, or twenty
minutes, gradually lengthening its stay
until finally it stays in sight continu-
ously for upward of one hundred and
twenty hours. Louis Republic.

"oh, yes, frequently" said young
lady who has had considerable expe-
rience, as stenographer, in reply to the
clubman's question as to whether her
employers ever dictated their family
letters TO her.
"Now, there is Mr. Jones. While his
wife was down east he always dictated

The Laws of Health.

An exchange says, "Nature doesn't
care snap about the moral laws in build
ing up mans body but she does insist
upon observance of physical laws. These
cannot be violated with impunty. For
reference see John L. Sullivan, of Boston,
late champion" The newspaper man as
usual makes mistakes. The moral laws
are the physical laws. Even the pugilists
have to observe them and when in train
ing they must live ceanly, sober, chaste,
temperate and regular lives. The moral
laws have sprung from the physical laws.
No man can live rightly without thinking
and acting right. A sound mind is the re-
suit of a sound body. In order to obtain
both one must live simply and carefully
guard against the inroads of disease. Pull
monary trouble is foe that proves fatal
to most athletes. They break down and
die with consumption. If you have any
tendency that way or are troubled with
bronchitis or catarrh get bottle of Reid s
German Cough and Kidney Cure and
take it freely. 1t is the only cough rene
dy on the market of which it can be
truthfully said, there is no danger of an
over dose. Small bottles IS cents, large
ones 50 cents.

Very Peculiar Notion.

Some one has estimated that at least
one-fourth of the world knows nothing
of the use of forks and fully one-quar-
ter of the men, women, and children in
1t eat with their fingers. The Egyp-
tians and Turks pride themselves on
their cleanliness in the use of their
fingers rather than forks and give a
very ingenious excuse for the practice.
Forks, they say, have been in some
other mans mouth and you have to de.
pend upon your servants for their clean
ing. These people wash their hands
before sitting down to table or squat
ting around the meal on the floor, and
they take up the morsels of food with
thin pieces of bread, rolling it around
such food or sopping it in the soup.
They use their hands in aiding in the
carving and tear rather than cut
their roasted fowls.-House Furnishing
