TEXAN HOSPITALITY.

The Passing Stranger Always Invited In
and Taken Care VI.
"The latch string hangs out" ex-
pressed the hospitality of the southern
frontier in the days "bcforc the war. "
II traveller rode up before the fence
that separated the log cabin from the
road he was greeted by Light,
stranger, light" Without this salu-
tation no one dismounted, but it was
rarely withheld. Mr.. Williams, in his
recent book. "Sam Houston" thus de-
scribes the impulse of. hospitality,
which made every traveller guest
during the early settlement of Texas:
The traveller who rode up to the
front fence was instantly invited to
alight. His horse was sta!Scd out or
hobblcd to feed IN the prairie grass
and the visitor sat down to exchange
the news with his host. The coffee
mill was set going, if there were any of
the precious grains in the house, and
the hopper in the hollow log to grind
ing the corn. The venison or bear meat
was put on the Goals and the ashcakc
baked.
After the meal and the evening pipe
the visitor stretched himself on . buff
falo robe on the floor with the mem
bers of the family and slept the sleep
Of health and fatigue. In the morning
the response to any inquiry as to the
charge was: "You can pay me by COM
ing again"
/. The story that certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travellers on the
road and compel them to visit him at
the muzzle OF . double-barreled shot
gun was only humorous exaggeration
of the instinct for hospitality which
characterized the community.
The visitor WAS q living newspaper,
who brought the only news obtain-
able, and was q welcome relief to the
monotony and loneliness Of the wilder
ness. - ~ -. .-.r--

ELECTRIFIED SEA WATER.

It Il 0sad - Bs Working Wonders In
Purifying . French City.
The most wonderful stories are told
Of the disinfecting power of sea water
after electrical treatment, as exhibit
ed at Havre, where experiments upon
. very large scale have been made
under the direction Of NJ. uermite, the
inventor Of the system. The following
is an extract from the special corrc-
spondence of the London Standard:
"a central station for the proper
electrolyzing of sea water had been es-
tablished at sHavre, on Qui Lombardie,
near the Angouleme bridge. and pipes
in connection with it had been laid
through all the streets of the st. Fran
co.'s quarter. inhabited by some twelve
thousand people of the poorest classes,
and formerly the hot-bed of every in
fectious disease The electrolyzed sea
water forced through the pipes had.
however, effected marvellous change.
The streets watered with the disinfect-
ing liquid. by means of hose connected
with the pipes. Had lost that putrid
odor which, formerly made them not
danger in the very' center of the town.
In addition to this, two of the most
insalubrious houses in the district had
been chosen by NJ David, the town
architect, for the application Of the
Hermite system TO dwellings. One of
them was situated at No. - Rue de II
Tontaine, and the other 1t IS Rue
d'Edreville. A large tank, connected
with the electrolyzed sea-water mains,
had been placed 1t the top Of each OF
these six-story buildings, and pipes
from the tank carried down to flush
the closets and sinks on the various
floors. In the case Of the house No. "a
Rue de la Fontaine, the now odorlesa
water from the syphons Of the closets
and sinks was conducted through pipes
to the street gutter. down which it ran
some distance before it ultimately fell
into the sewer. The object Of this mr.
rangement vas to offer the public q
constant, visible and olfactory proof
Of the purifying. qualities OF electro
lyzed sea water. The disinfecting
liquid, so to say, consumed the sewage
matter, Is we'll rs the microbes it con-
tanned, and in passing along the gut
ter and through the sewers it con-
tributcd to the disinfection of both OF
them by the chlorine it still contained.
With the Hcrmite system all the sew
age water could, without inconvcn-
icnce, be allowed to 1ow into the sea,
orieven into rivers, for it purifies In
stead Of contaminating them"

tecting American lnterssts.
At no time within recent years has
the United States government been so
well represented in foreign waters by
an armed naval force, nor SO poorly
provided for in ships at home, as at
present. Three big cruisers are at Rio
Janeiro, two more are on their way
there, and this number will be in
creased to six by the monitor Mian-
tonomoh. The gunboat Yorktown is
at Callao, Peru, and the corvette Al
lance has sailed to join her. from La
Libertad. The old Yantic is stationed
permanently at the mouth Of the Rio
de In Plata, charged with the duty Of
attending to American interests in
adjacent territory. da
The Ranger, which sailed from La
-Libcrtad recently for Corinto, Nicara.
qua, Is assigned to the west coast OF
Central America, where revolutionary
outbreaks are 80 frequent, while the
corvette Kearsarge, now en- route from
New York to San Domingo to afford
protection to American life and prop
erty in the threatened uprising there,
will cruise about the West Indies, and.
until relieved by the cruiser San Fran
cisco, along the east coast of Central
America. The Philadelphia and the
Adams are at Honolulu. The Asiatic
or China station, which has become SO
important through the hostile feeling
of the Chinese toward Americans over
the exclusion law. has six vessels At
tached to 1t, and It is expected that the
Machias, now 1T Brooklyn, will sail
soon to join them. r =
The North Atlantic or home station
has nominally five, but actually only
one vessel in commission to its credit,
for the San Francisco is on her way to
Rio, the Kcarsarge is bound for San
Domingo (which can hardly be called
''home" port, although within the
lines Of the station), and the Machias ID
destined for China. The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius il therefore likely TO
be the sole war vessel left for service
on the eastern coast Of the United
States, and the practicability of the
Vesuvius as an effective battleship is
in serious doubt. At the maynard at
Mare Island, Cal, the old Mohican is
fitting for sea service, presumably in
the South Pacific. The coast defense
vessel Monterey Is also at Mare Island.

German
Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. :" I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. Atthe beginning oflast
Winter was on trip to the City
Of Vicksburg, Miss, where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. /
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief Iconsulted DIR. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get q bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much Of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear ofthe Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. / felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. a

The servant was in the act Of brushing

abruptly. and looking affrightedly at him
gasped:
"Idon't understand you. What do you
meang"
Just what said: saw you come out
Of the house and started to apprise you
Of your and their peril"
The woman was too alarmed to inquire
how it was that this stranger knew so
much. or to suggest that the most sensi-
BILE course was for her to hasten back
into the town and secure help She could
only wait.
What shall dot Oh. what can dor
do just as I tell you. and all will be
well--walk directly onward, turn into
