Soft Water Better Than Hard.

Everybody likes soft water, but many
half-scientific people have kind OF idea
that hard water, that is water with
carbonate of lime dissolved in it, may
be of some value in the nutrition ana
development of bones, and especially in
the development of children's bones.
Doctor j. NJ. Fox, who is entitled to a
hearing from the fact of his having
given valuable information on the SUBJ
ject before a royal commission, holds
contrary view. He maintains that the
principal use of water in the human
body is for solvent purposes. In that
case it Is manifest that water which has
seventy or eighty, or even l0O grains OF
solid matter per gallon dissolved in it
must be less powerfully solvent than
water which has not more than fve or
ten grains. The water which is used up
in dissolving the lime cannot dissolve
other soluble substances--at any rate,
not t the full extent of the natural SOL
vent power of unauthorized water. 1t
is sometimes argued, as already noted,
that water having lime dissolved in it
may, when drunk, give up its lime to
the body and 50 help in the formation
of bones. On this point Sir Lyon Play
fair says: ~ have seen evidence given
in cases of water supply not only that 1t
was desirable for health, but that 1t
Carbonate of lime) was absolutely neces-
sary for the formation of bones. But
that showed q lamentable lack of chemi-
cal knowledge, because the lime required
in food does not come from the water,
but from the solid particles of food taken,
and do not think that the line In
water has any influence on the process OF
animal nutrition" The water consumed
in the mountainous districts OF Scotland
is soft water, and Highlanders are not
generally supposed to be deficient in
bone or muscle. 1t is also stated that
the tallest people in Great Britain are to
be met with in soft-water districts, Tor
instance, IN Cumberland and Aberdeen.
The tallest people of all are found IN
Aberdeen, which is a very saltwater dis
trict. Soft water is, in snort, pure
water, so far as lime is concerned; and
both in sickness and in health, and, in
deed, for all ordinary purposes for which
water is required, it is much to be pre-
ferred to hard.-Chicago News Record.

WHAT PROFITS IT,

What profits it that gold is won
And greed is fattened day by day?
What profits it in pleasures sun
To waste the heart by mock and play?
What profits to rise and shine
In some brief hold of place and powr?
What profits it to feast with wine
And die of thirst at even's hour.
The gold we gain, unsanctifed,
Will char the soul with ceaseless fra'
The pleasures by the world supplied
Are lotus plants that root in lnire
The throne and praise the mob bestows
Is set on sand=-it fees as breath;
The wine that gladds IS as it glows
Then maddens and expires in death.
The gold that profits is the grace
That makes the Christ my friend in need
The pleasure that fills time and space
Is love that works in daily deed,
The power that makes king in truth
In holiness that God hath given
The crown of age the hope Of youth,
The upward, manly march to heaven!

The growth of electric traction in this
country is one of the most marvellous
developments of the century. A leading
street railway journal draws attention to
Tue TACT that in the last five years the
m'leage OF street railways operated by
sectricity has increased from fifty miles
7" over SIX thousand miles, which is a
greater mileage than that of all the other
"ieet railways in the country operated
W animal and other forms of motive
power. OF this large total nearly one
'nlrd was built in 1892. No estimate
AAs YET been given of the aggregate In-
'iease IN value of suburban property
ua' mas been improved by the running
" new electric lines, but the amount
4u'' pe enormous, as large proportion
"le installations has been in suburban
u's'ricts, particularly in the east. In
'uy' 1880, the street railway mileage
Tue country was $3.50 miles; at the
present time it reaches total of IL ,655
a''les' or an increase of 5000 miles in the
.''' TWO and half years. During 1892
'A''e Was an additional increase of 1866
.'''es. Some of these lines have been
'0uuced in the most crowded parts of
'a'se cities, where it is admitted that
sao's traction would be more economical.
y reason for this lies probably in the
wv 'nat 1t would be far less economical
'uange from electric to cable power

TIE following morning at about !
o'clock the front door was thrown open
in common with every other door 10
Odessa, and stream of people began to
pass in aud out.
Every man who entered, whether he
were gentleman or peasant, took two
eggs from the pile on the table, broke
one and ate piece of it, and presented
the other to the hostess or any Other
female member of the household with
the formula, "Christ is rlsen." To which
the lady replied, "He is truly risen."
Cecil was watching the scene from a
corner with considerable interest, when
dark man, dressed like peasant, ad-
vanced and extended an egg to her. He
wore a white rose, and he placed himself
before her so that his figure shielded her
from the room.
"You bring me present from my
friend in London" he said softly and
rapidly, in excellent English.
For answer she slipped the packet in
to his hand.
He gave sort of sigh of intense re-
lief and concealed it at once without the
least sign Of confusion on his face.
When she raised her head to look
after him he was gone.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon 9
month later a. curious little scene was
enacted outside the entrance of certain
large block of offices in London. A
young lady drove up in four wheeler,
and sent boy into the building with I
message.
| A moment later a man came out
whose Fsrplexed face suddenly Grim
soned with aatonishment and delight as
he saw her who wished to speak to him.
He shouted to the cabman to drive on
anywhere, sprang into the vehicle and
clasped the girl in his arms.
