Testing Pure water.

II is one of the easiest things in the
world to tell pure water from the i'm
pure. If you want to test the color of
the water, just fill a colorless glass bottle
with the water and look through it at
some black object, and the distinctive
ness with which you can see the object
will give you an idea as to the amount of
clay or sand there is in the wafer. Then
pour out one-half the water, cork the
bottle tightly and set it in a warm place
for about "a hours. Remove the cork
and smell the air in the bottle. II there
is an offensive Odor, even the slightest,
the water is unfit for domestic uses.
Well water, 10 matter how bright and
sparkling, is, nine times out of ten, pu-
crescent. Then, as a ma ter of course,
decomposition is sure to set in in day
Or two if you put the bottle in n warm
place.-NeW York Telegram.

The Injustice of Suffrage.

During the lecture of Miss Kate Field
in this city one could not help comment
ing upon the absurdity of our suffrage
when he stopped to think that the Sicil-
ian bandit, the Russian dynamitrrd or
the Boherlian beggar could in few
years after getting through the ports
obtain privileges and assume rights that
are denied to this brilliant woman by
reason of her sex. What monumental
exhibition of folly it is TO deny to pare,
educated, brainy American women,
wives, sisters and daughters, the right
that VIE fully extend to the sweepings of
European prisons and almshouees.-

during .hat reign and those of Louis XIV

Modern imitation jewelry is Of IN in

the ordinary stage trinkets, in unInistak-
able glass and gilt brass, made only with
n view to effect and glitter behind the
footlights. Yet, though without any
claims to deception as regards their true
quality. they are often interesting as
being accurate reproductions of antique
or historic jewels. Such were the orna-
ments designed and executed for Nine
Bernhardt's impersonation Of ''Theo-
DORA" and of like quality are many of
the ornaments manufactured for the
wardrobe department of the grand cp-
era.-LadieS' Home Journal.

A Queen Who Walks Much.


Even the majesty which doth wait
about a queen is powerless to ward off
the attacks Of the archenemy Of wom-
ans beauty which half of the world of
womanlind are fasting and praying to
be delivered from. The beautiful and
beloved queen Of Italy has developed a
fatal tendency to what, since she is a
queen, is delicately pronounced embon-
point, which can only be kept down by
constant exercise. Fortunately she is a
vigorous walker and fond of Alpine
climbing, which form of diversion she
practices daily for weeks at a time in
her pretty mountain home at Gressonay.
