Water Purified by Electricity.

The Webster method of purifying
waste water by means Of electricity has
been tested by DR.. Fermi in the Hygie.
mic Institute, at Munich, Germany.
During the course of the experiments it
was found that the water became purified
in about fifteen minutes, the orgauic
substances being reduced by about one
half, and the suspended substances be-
ing precipitated to the bottom. The
smell of the water was perceptibly i'm
proved.
While the results Of the tests show
that electricity does not at the present
time realize the ideal Of water puridca-
ton, it has two great advantages; first,
that very little iron is precipitated aud
its removal is not so difficult as in the
case of publication by chemical means,
aud, second, the dissolved organic sub
stances, which are not precipitatel by
any of the known chemical methods
hitherto employed, are at least partially
removed by the electric curreat. -EHtta-

his big foot could not reach, he was an
unconscious factor in one of the prettiest
romances that ever cast fragrance over
the life of a newspaper man.
This was the cause of all the trouble.
Fergus Cameron was the ten-shilling-a-
week clerk at the salt pans. One and
one made two during the day, but one
and one in the evening represented only
one, for while the former might be bags
of salt, or pounds, shillings or pence,
tile latter were the mutually sympathetic
hearts of Fergus Cameron and Maud
Graham, the pretty daughter of the
Dundee bailie.
Now, the average Scotch bailie is a
much bigger man, in his own estimation.
than the President of the United States.
A chief magistrate of our nation might
allow his daughter to marry an ordinary
book-keeper; but President of the
United States is no criterion in estima-
ting man chosen to fill the chair once
gIaced by such illustrious characters as
Donald MacTavish and Sandy Jameson.
Shades of Nebuchadnezzarl who so great
as a Scotch bailieY
You may have heard of the Scotch
bailie, but l knew one. 1t was long
ago, but the awe-iuspiring influence of a
personal acquaintance with him has not
yet departed. He was newspaper man,
so he said, claiming the title by virtue
of part ownership with his wife and
Kirsty Buckley, Grabbed old maid, in
a newspaper and magazine depot. All
in all, he was a great man in the town.
Examination day always brought him to
school, and on such an occasion he gen.
orally stood with the Latin book upside
down.
Excuse me, Bailie," our teacher
would remark in mis- meekest way, sex
cuse me, you have the book upside
down"
"Sir, don't you think baltic can read
Latin upside down."
How we prayed that kind Providence
in much love and mercy might make of
us bailies and newspaper men.
Do you wonder that Fergus Cameron
was kicked downstairs, and that bag
of onions aud clothes-liue fastened
| his departure, and that three weeks later
he stood upon the deck of an Atlantic
liner, gazing with fearful eye on the
fast fading shore-line of the land of blue
mist and purple heather2 An American
youth would have been happier under
the circumstances, for he would have
had Maud Graham with him; so little
respect has an American youth for the
exalted Office of Scotch bailie.

man, and 1t was confidently believed
that Ellsworth's command was able to
put down the war without assistance
The Colonel was young man, hand
some, gallant, burning with military
ardor and thirsting for military fame.
He was as much the idol of the North
as Ashby was few months later the idol
of the South. The Fire Zouaves were
the first troops to march into Alexan-
dria, Va. Their Colonel was at their
head, and after the town had surren-
dered Ellsworth saw a Confederate flag
flying from hotel.
Instead of ordering a squad to remove
it he bolted into the house, assembled the
stairway, went out ON the roof and cap
tured the flag; descending he was con-
fronted by the landlord-one Jackson

was then shot to death, aud the affair
created more sensation than considerable
battles few years later. After the war
a daughter of Jackson secured an ap-
pointment in one Of the departments
here. She was modest, diligent and
capable young woman, and discharged
her official duties acceptably. In the
course of time a SUPERFICIAL gentleman
was put in charge of the bureau in which
she worked.
Nosing around, he soon discovered the
antecedents of the young clerk and dis
charged her. She was friendless and
penniless, and as last resort went to
the White House and called for General
Grant. He received her, and she related
her story to the silent man. Without
saying word he took Il piece of paper
and wrote: "The war against men is
ended, and my Administration shall not
begin one against women. Restore Miss
jackson to her former clerkship instant
ly." This was addressed to the loyal
bureau official, and the young lady is yet
in the public service. That was an ex-
hibition of chivalry that Duriois or
Francis l. might have envied.

WISE WORDS.


1t is sometimes hard to distinguish in
nocence from bluff.
Contentment is not knowing anyone
who has anything better than you have.
Every man il trouble feels that hu
friends are not as indignant as they should
be.
Nearly any man will spend 800 worth
of time to get thirty cents worth of re-
venge.
Men are like little boys; they all like
to have a great big rag tied around lit
tie sore.
The man who can win the reputation
of being able to lick everybody saves
himself lots of fights.
There is one thing you can always de-
pend on man doing, and that is the
thing he wants to do.
Men and women are the only things
ever created that the nearer you get to
them the smaller they get.
There is one thing in which the poor
man has the advantage of rich man; he
knows who are his friends.
When a girl who is engaged to be
married tells of her engagement, it is a
very good sign that she was never en-
gagged before.
Every woman believes that if her hus-
band could be married to some other
woman for a week he would know how
to appreciate her.
Marriage seems never so much fail
ure to man as when something goe;
wrong at home that he can't possibly
blame on his wife.
1t makes no difference how worthless
a man is; his mother thinks it no sacri-
lege to delude the best girl in the world
into marrying him.
We heard two young men discussing
boarding-houses. "At the place where
board, )" one OF them said, "the homt
influence is better than the meals"
Young people usually talk so much t.
each other when they are engaged tina
by the time they are married they have
nothing left to say, and begin to invite
| others in.

Giants Bones Unearthed.

Tradition tells us that somewhere along
a ridge in the southern part of this
county, there lies buried 'twenty mule
loads of gold" This treasure is sup
posed to have been placed in some iso-
lated spot by the early inhabitants of the
land-possibly the mound builders. A
week ago some one in meaudering about
cave which is formed by an over-chtf
of this ridge, accidentally found a coin,
upon which could only be distinguished
the letters "a. D." This exciting his
curiosity, and knowing of the traditional
treasures, led him to make further ex-
ploits. Securing pick he began dig
ging aud soon unearthed the skeleton of
a human body, which was described to
our informant as being extremely large.
The jaw-bone was large enough to place
over the jaw of an ordinary man, and
the arm-bone was over two inches longer
than of men above the medium size.
Not being satisfied with this find, dig
ging was continued until the second,
third and fourth skeleton was unearthed,
which equalled in size the first one dis
covered. -MtO Florence (Ao.) Leader.

The captain of a coasting vessel that
lately put into Guaymas, Mexico, tells a
story of a strange discovery made by
him when his vessel had been driven off
her course some weeks ago. He sighted
an island not down on any of the charts.
He sent boat ashore and the men re-
turned and said that no one lived there,
but there were many houses and evil
dences that at one time the island had
been inhabited. The captain himself
then went ashore aud found that the
island had undoubtedly been swept by a
scourge of some kind, which had carried
off every living being. There were nu-
merous huts showing that at one time
the place had been thickly inhabited,
but not living thing could be found.
An investigation showed that the former
residents had died in such numbers that
they had not been buried, but the skele.
tons were lying around the island wher-
ever the people had been when death
had overtaken them. In one hut were
the remains of seventeen people, while
in many Others skeletons were found in
great rumbers. They had been dead
for such time that the bones were be-
ginning to decay. There was little to
show what kind of people they were,
but it is supposed that they belong to
some of the numerous island tribes
which were so abundant on this part of
the coast fifty years ago.-NeaO Orleans

The depreciation of farming lands in
England has gone SO far, asserts the
Boston CultjUatOr, that in many localities
they are worth only half what they were
twenty years ago. The low price of
wheat, and competition with other
countries in meat aud other food
products, is responsible for much of this
decrease in price, though part of it is due
to a succession of bad seasons. The
United States now leads all competitions
in wheat production. But it is certain
that after few more years American
increase in population will take all the
wheat we can grow. When that time
comes, not only English but other wheat
growers will share in the increased
prosperity of farming that must every
where prevail.

Twenty Dined on One Potato.

George w. Scott has brought into the
Telephone Office a half-dozen of the
largest sweet potatoes ever raised, per.
haps, in the country. They are ''new
issues" and the six weighed fifty
pounds. The largest one was given by
the editor to family in which there
were eighteen members-the husband
aud wife and sixteen children-all OF
whom were great lovers of potatoes.
Sunday they decided to have it for
dinner.
1t was fried-a part fit at least--and
was amply enough for all the family, be-
sides married daughter and her
husband who were spending the day
there. The remainder of the mammoth
potato was made up into potato pone

A man by the name of George Hulcc,
at New Haven, Conn, was named as an
executor in will. When the will was
probated two witnesses, through an hon.
est mistake, swore that he was dead, aud
the court had an order to that effect en-
tered upon the records. A short time
afterwards Hulce turned up all right,
but he has been declared to be legally
dead and is 50 in law until the record is
changed. This cannot be done without
reopening the case, which will cost some
money. This, Hulce declares, he will
not pay, and as no one else has any in-
terest in the matter he will probably re-
main legally dead as long as he actually
lives.

toward the village. Every minute was
like an eternity; he seemed to be drag
ging the world at his heels. Mind
weary and body-sore he fought the
bitter, binding blast until overtaxed
nature gave up the battle, and he sank
in the snow.
