WILL NOT EXPOSE HIS FACE.
The Casket of Jefferson Davis Is Not to bs
Opened ut Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va f, May 81 People who
expect to look upon the countenance of
Jefferson Davis while his remains lie in
state in thu State capital will be disap.
pointed. 1t has been stated in some
quarters that the casket would be opened
sufficiently to expose the bust and face
to view, but this is erroneous.
Col. w. ID. Chesterman, secretary OF
the Davis Monument Association, said
tonight that he had no knowledge of
any purpose on the part of anybody to
expose his face.
This will not be done,' he added,
without the express consent of Mrs.
Davis and 1 know OF none who propose
to ask that consent. Our association
provided funds for the purchase ct New
Orleans OF q new exterior casket be-
cause we feared the other had become
furnished. We suppose that the in
terror casket, in which the body lies, is
in good condition, and if SO it will be
simply laid into the new exterior caske t.
Never was the subject of exposing the
body mentioned in our association"

feeble health that she could not 90 to

Water and Disease.

Impure water should not be used
for any domestic purpose. When only
impure water is to be had, it should in
all cases be purified before use.
Boiling is the most common method
of rendering innocuous or sterile any
water suspected or known to contain
material which might produce diseases
conyeyable by water, such as typhoid
fever or cholera.
Lv it is not uncommon to hear people
we boil all our drinking water" Yet
it is safe to say that half of those who
give orders to have the water boiled,
and even of those who themselves at
tend to its boiling, drink water from
vessels rinsed with unboiled water.
1t is plain that the good effects of
boiling the water which is to be used
for drinking purposes are lost if the
pitcher, or the salad, or the milk can,
or the milk Jug has been rinsed with
unboiled water. The boiling of water
is an excellent precautien, but the use
of boiled water should be extended.
OF the water in the household, the
proportion devoted to drinking pur
poses is relatively small. In the
kitchen water is used for washing veg
etables and salads, for rinsing dishes
and tableware. One or two germs OF
disease clinging to the sides of q vessel
into which milk has afterward been
poured, may find the milk an excellent
soil in which to grow and propagate
their species.
From food which has been subjected
to roastiag or boiling, or to any thor
ough cooking there is nothing to fear.
From uncooked foods and from fluids
danger is possible, and in the process
of their preparation they should be
guarded from every possible source
of contamination.
In time of an epidemic milk should
always be subjected to boiling or
steauIing boforo it 10 used.
The use of any of the filters which
are fastened to faucets on the pipes of
the city water supply, it is perhaps
needless to say, does not afford the
slightest protection against disease
germs.
Water which contains mineral inn
purity or, indeed, an appreciable guam
tity of organic matter, should not be
used under any circumstances. -

AstOnished Sayages.

The writer took some Kafrs from
their desolate island home in the Him
alayan gorges beyond the. mountain
ranges to the more civilized south,
Like most savages, they looked with
indifference at the marvels about them,
and once only were they excited by an
incident which opened their eyes to
what they considered most extraord-
mary and unnatural state of things.
They were descending road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that
he was hungry, and the English
fsahib" bought him some food at a
wayside shop. The Kafr saw the
money change hands.
How is this?" he inquired in sur,
prise. 'Do you have to pay for food
in this country?"
Certainly"
"What a countryl" cried the man
in amazement. Then after pondering
awhile, he continued doubtfully,
''Suppose man had no money in this
country; he might starve!"
''It is quite possible. "
The Kafir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the
ridiculous system to his companions,
and they roared in chorus. Fl Youth 8

The world, my dear, hath millions
Its gold climbs to the skies;
But one there is hath trillions--
The light of thy dear eyes,
Dear eyes that are so tender,
No riches can replace
One CLEAN of their bright splendor-
The sunshine Of thy face!
The world, my dear, with wonders
May wake thy wild surprise;
But shine above its thunders
The rainbows of thine eyes!
Dear eyes! that are so tender
That light the years to be;
One ray of their rare splendor
Makes earth a heaven for med

Lo! Love the dream denies;

Bright from thy beauteous eyes!
