UDapSwerable Proof.

Some years since was one of rather
hilarious party driving through the Adj
rondack woods. In a lucid, serious mo-
ment one of the party asked the name of
a low growth shrub along the roadside.
"It's sycamore" some one responded.
1.-The people il this region call it syca-
more, and they know" A sharp discus
sion followed, and naturalist would
have writhed + hear the heterodox CLASH
fcations, the nrst speaker persisting sit
is a sycamore"
But Scriptures against that theory"
said a theological student finally, and
we clamored for the counter evidence.
'Zaccheus resorted to a sycamore tree
to see his Lord, and the injunction was,
'Zaccheus, come DOWN. Now, if the
sycamore were that contemplate height,
the command would have been, Fac
cheus, get up!'-Cor. Harper's Bazaar.

that was once carried by Martha Wash

liberty that such memento should be

The water supply of the Dutch city
bearing the picturesque name of Lee
warden is taken from a small lake of
brackish and somewhat yellow water
near the place. To purify it for domes-
tic purposes it is arated, filtered and
allowed to settle quietly in large tanks.
The ieration is accomplished by allow
ing the water to fall down a series of
steps, and in its fall an additional ele-
ment of publication is introduced in the
form of a solution of alum, which is
forced into the water by pumps, oper-
ating at the same rate as the main pump
ing engines, so that the amount of solu-
non will always bear a fixed ratio to
the amount Of water. From these steps
the water passes to a set of four settling
basins holding about ,000. 900 gallons in
all. where all the cOarser impurities are
allowed to settle to the bottom.
From these basins the water flows to
three filter beds, each having an area of
about $500 square feet and consisting
of top layer of fine sand from the dunes,
underlaid by coarse river sand, sea
shells, fine gravel and coarse gravel.
The rate of filtration is about q inches
an hour and is controlled by a series of
automatic valves so arranged that when
the eff1uent falls in quantity below its
usual amount the depth of water over
the beds is increased, thereby making
the pressure which forces the water
through the filtering material, and thus
increasing the yield. From the filtering
beds the water, clear and wholesome aft
er this treatment, is pumped into the
mains leading to the city.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

SCULPTURE at the Fair.

One of the first delightful surprises Of
the fair is the immense population of in
habitants whose flesh is plaster, whose
Binews are flax and whose bones are iron
"a population as varied as the history,
traditions, arts, virtues and passions of
mankind. It recalls the days of Greece,
when men thought in marble, and be-
Queathed materialized fancies to all the
after time of the world. These imposing
Columbian people will not all outlive
the days of today, although some of
them are almost beautiful enough to de-
serve eternity. Certainly no one could
help wishing that the great statue of the
Republic, modelled by Mr.. French-a
majestic woman, who stands against the
columned reristyle looking over the sea
could live forever and give to the fu-
ture of America a national ideal of pur-
ity, simplicity and greatness.
But whatever else these plaster gods
are or are not, they are too many-too
many for even the lavish bounty of q
dream. They cluster in porches, they
stand in long professions along the
lengthy facades, doing their decorative
part with dignity and seriousness; they
pose upon pedestals, they crouch in ar
chitectural corners or gayly greet you
from cornices and other coigns of van
tage, or they are fiattened into bas-re-
lief like skins Of statues stretched upon
some rare plain surface. In truth, all
the bigness of the buildings is needed to
repress and keep them in subordination.
Gigantic inhabitants of city of a
dream, they people it SO abundantly that

own creation.-Candace Wheeler in

Can't stand the Kodak.

A Boston paper has adopted an effect
i've method of Kidding public places of
well dressed loafers. Only fortnight
ago it was not possible for lady to walk
on Washington street without being
ogled and perhaps addressed by one of
this genus, who, with fashionably dressed
companions, haunted some corner or
doorway from which to practice his i'm
pertinences. Directing public attention
to the nuisances, the Boston journal gave
minute descriptions of the dress and ap-
pearance of these loafers day by day, so
that its readers began to recognize and
stare at them. Posts of observation that
had known them for months knew them
no more, for their impudence was not
proof against ridicule.
Those who linger receive such atten-
ton as this: 1.-The young man who was
described ON Saturday in the long blue
box coat and tanned shoes is still hang

hENNED1 > rANOkIIE hENEDl.
Not many miles southwest of Con-
cord, ON the Boston & Maine r. r., lies
the pretty village of Hiush0rough
Bridge. From some unknO VII reason
few years ago, great deal o. sickness
existed there, but at the pre- ont lime
there is 1T a healthier S..Ot in New
HAMPSHIRE and it bids fair to remain
so.
Perhaps there is no person in Hills
borough Bridge who has done as much
toward this healthy condition of its
people as Mrs. N. E. whitney. Mrs
Whitney's dreadful sickness her re-
markable recovery from Brigh''s Dis
ease through the aid of DIR. Dd> i'll Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy and her good
advices to others, since her recovery,
are we'll known for miles about. There
is scarcely a home to-day in llillSboro
County where bottle of D.. David
Kennedy's FavOrite Remedy cannot be
found.
THE great curing power of Or. Da-
vid Kennedy's FavOrite Remed, lies in
the fact that it dissolves the excess of
uric acid in the blood" said one of Con-
cords prominent physicians g You
would hardly believe how may of the
diseases so common now, c,me from
this one cause, for instance, dyspepsia
rheumatism. diabetes, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles, eczema, scrofula and
the sickness so common to women, and
many more, can be traced to this
trouble, excess of uric acid in the blood.
AS | said before, Favolite Remedy,
dissolves this acid, thus curing disease.
Right here in Concord there are num-
Der of people who suffered terribly with
rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia and
Bright's Disease, who are sound and
we'll to- dav, solely through the use of
FavOrite Remedy"
The case of Mrs. Belinda Hodsden of
Haverhill, Grafton Co., N. H., has to-
day worldwide reputation. Mrs.
HOdsden suffered from most horrible
ca Sc of Salt Rheum, which settled in
her leg-it looked like a piece of raw
liver, and the pain was incessant day
and night. My attention" said Mrs.
HOdsden, was called to DR.. Kenne-
dy's Fayorite Remedy, which l pur-
chased. When about half through with
the second bottle, great improvement
was apparent and it was not long before
the limb was entirely healed and l am
now better in every way, having no
more nervous troubles and my general
health is excellent"
Inquiry among Mrs. HodSden's friends
proves that she stated nothing but the
facts in regard to her case. Many 9th
er instances of the kind are widely
talked of where DR.. Kennedy's Favor
lite Remedy has effected cures after
physicians have given up hope.
Local physicians in various towns
about here have been interviewed and
they all agree that DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy is the most reliable
means known for curing rheumatism,
dyspepsia, diseases of the nervous sys-
tenn, kidney and urinary troubles.
PLY sicians acquainted with it's merit
are prescribing Favorite Remedy daily.
