DIR. Christmas, Of the Pasteur in
stitute, Of Paris, says: 'TO render in
time Of cholera the use Of unbolled
drinking water harmless, lemon juice
is recommended. Acids are detrimental
to cholera bacillus" Dr. Christmas
found that nine grains Of acid Of lemon
used in water Of the Paris acquduct
rendered within i quarter Of an hour
all the cholera harmless. Nine grains
Of the acid destroys in the same amount
ii water all the bacillus Of typhus
Two grains Of acid Of lemons added to
:. quart Of water is sufficient TO make
drinking water totally harmless. These
facts cannot be too generally known.
The value Of knowing how TO swim
was well illustrated upon Lake Mime
tonka last week A Minneapolis pa
per tells the story. a party of young
people were enjoying a trip around the
lake on u small steamer. Two Of the
party were Miss ChoWcn and Miss
Scranton. They were occupying the
seats on tie after deck and al was
going right mcrrily until, without warn
Ing, the seats gave away and the young
ladies fell overheard. They carried
tho seats with them in their fall, but
the wind blew these away before they
could be graspcd for support and the
two young ladies were left in 10 feet
Of water to struggle for life This the
paper says, they did with courage and
strength. They had learned to swim
during the summer and now when
thrown into the water started for the
vessel, which was by this time fully
300 yards away. Impcdcd rs they
were by their clothing, it seemed
hopeless task to swim, and to the fran
tic ones ON board the steamer every
movement seemed the one in which they
would sink from sight. Miss ChoWcn's
strength gave ont. She became uncOn-
Scious and must certainly have drown
cd had not her companion, Miss Sc"an-
ton, with wonderful presence Of mind,
summe ming all her strength, kept her
body above water. Meanwhile the
steamer had been put about and Il rope
was thrown to Miss Scranton. This
she seized but never gave up her grasp
OH her friend until both We're landed
safe on board In this case the ability
to swim, happily acquired SO recently,
was certainly the means Of saving
two lives. In this enlightened age Il
child, regardless Of sex, Should not he
permitted to reach maturity without
mastering IN accomplishment 50 sim
Ilc. Particularly is this essential where
lakes or rivers exist near ut hand to
attract the pleasure seeker too often
to his fate.

THE RIGHT TO THINK.

We cannot always speak our minds, for there
are moments when
IL would not do for Us TO tell our tnmost
thoughts 70 men
Nor would we dare 70 write them down In ever
lasting ink,
But this we know let como what may we have
right 10 think
When we are walking on the street-as we have
done, alackl
And step on q banana peel and land upon our
back,
Then as we brush our clothes and watch the
people grin and blink,
We can't say what we would. but ahI We have .
right TO think
While sitting in the street car where are ladies
fair and sweet,
The fat man comes along and tramps our corns
with both his feet,
And as we.grit our teeth and see the other PEG
pie wink,
We feel how thankful we should be we have Q
right to think
For years we spent our hArd-earned cash to buy
girl ice cream.
Until at length she speaks the words that shat
100 ter loves young dream
"I'u be your sister"-'tis enough TO drive q man
70 drink
We cannot speak our feelings, but we go away
and think.
When husbands at the theater together slyly
plan
Each time an act Is finished to go out ITO see q
man."
And as they reach their seats again exchange @
knowing wink,
Their wives can't tell It's meaning, but they
have q right to think.
And likewise when they're At tho play men see
before their eyes
A ROMANS hat that towers pretty nearly to the
skies,
They might say things about that hat 70 make
II wilt and shrink,
And yet they don't, they only sit and think and

To ordinary vision all the stars ap-

can the astronomer himself recognize
any signs Of motion except by patient
and lonQ-continued observation, ex-
tending. in some instances, over Pc
Rod of many years, and even centuries,
when succeeding astronomers complete
the work which their predecessors had
begun. But every star in the hrma-
ment is on its journey and moving
through space with wonderful velocity.
Absolute rest is unknown throughout
the material universe. II we look up
to the sky on q calm, bright night,
when the stars shine IN all their glory,
we are usually impressed with the feel
ING that a solemn stiffness reigns
throughout those infinite regions Of
space. In reality. those amazing star
depths above us, which appear Sc
steadfast and Interchangeable from year

activity. and there is . remarkable
process Of change taking place all
around us
Our earth is moving rapidly in its
orbit, at the rate Of eighteen miles per
second This is known to be our We

sleep seven hours the world on which
we dwell carries us 100000 miles

The FARMERS SIDE.
"Where we are, how we got here,
and the way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
SIS. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12mo cloth Price, 01.00.
Price, 01.O0.
12mo, cloth

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARNER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMER's SIDE has just been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
OF $50 VIZ have ARRANGED with the nub-
Usher, for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained at
our Office, or we viii forward copies to any
