Purifying Water at Home.

If there is any question as to the
purity of water, none of it should be
used for drinking or cooking purposes
unless it is first boiled There are
several other methods of purifying
water, but boiling is the safest of ALL
When water is tainted by decaying
vegetable matter, several methods are
used to purify it, 1t may be boiled
or filtered through charcoal or oak
chips, OF little alum may be added.
The addition of the astringent wood
or the alum causes the albuminous
matter in the water to coagulate and
fall to the bottom, and the purified
water can be poured off.-Ladies

Bill Swiivey Was In No Mood to subscribe

Leading an Army.

General Booth has nominated his
daughter, La Marechale Booth -Chbborn,
to succeed him in command Of the Sal.
vation Army. In so doing he passes
over Lieutenant General Bramwell
Booth, who might have been expected to
succeed his father. The general gives
his reasons very briefly. "Women are
the best rulers" he says. "If you refer
to the capacity shown on several occa-
sions by Queen Victoria, you will agree
with me that she acted while her ad-
visers were seeking how to act. l am
arranging that the work of saving human
souls may go on after my death. All
title deeds will be transferred to my
daughter's name."

The Courage of Impudenoe.

There are many sorts of courage
which both men and women would
be better without, but unfortunately
are not. There is the courage of
impudence. It abounds today. It
is all the fashion. If you want a
thing and cannot get it in any other
way, try impudence-that is a rec
ipe which is constantly being given
in the papers. Then there is the
courage of ignorance. All the Year

On both sides of the river the sugar, rice

Monday morning and ragged with increas-

cations are that the loss of life In the low.

There is no doubt that It will be q week or
longer before the full story of the storm

Rumors place the loss of life at 80 but
possibly not more than 25 have perished.
This side Of Cokeiy, In the marshes, whole
families have been swept away and the
actual loss Of life will probably never Be
