AN iMPRovIsED FILTER.


4 Simple Method of Making had Water
Fit to Drink.
It often happens that drinking water
IS very impure, and contains much mat
ter which it is important to get rid Of
before disinfecting by boiling. A few
strands of candle wick, a piece of
cheesecloth, or any other clean cloth
which has been washed, as a clean
towel. may be improvised as filter.
Provide two vessels, the one containing
the water to be filtered placed above tho
receiving vessel: place one end Of tho
cloth or wick in the vessel above. and
let the other end hang over the lower
vessel AS the water is descending
from the upper to the lower vessel, the
cotton fbers win entangle the suspend
ed matter. and the water, as 1t drops
into the lower vessel. will be freed from
much of the dirt which it contains
The water can then be boiled and made
comparatively wholesome for drinking
water. This method of altering Is use
full in tenting, where wholesome clean
water is not at hand. Health.

The English law courts have formal
decided that q wife is not a necessi-
ty Of life, but luxury. There have
been good many brcach-of-prom;so
suits before the courts lately, and in
two prominent ones the defense was
set up that the contract was invalid
because the contracting parties wcre
minors when it was made, and that no
contract made by minor is binding at
law, except it be for necessity" In
one case the defense failed because the
contract was renewed after the youth
attained his majority, but in the other
case the young fellow got of, the court
deciding that q wife could not be con-

One of the most serious epidemcS expert
enced in Vermont in some years is that re
ported from Windsor Three deaths have
six in all The journal saws that no abate-
ment in the typhoid epidemic can be report
ed except in the greatly diminished number
of new cases, there having been none re
ported since April :. The total mum
Der of cases so far reported is between l20
and 100. As the crisis i'll the large major
ity of these cases will be reached in the next
few days, it is expected that another week
will show the worst to haye been passed
The residents of Windsor are acting in tho
matter with commendabla promptness and
thoroughness and everything possible is be-
ing done to prevent the spread Of tho cpl
demic, as we'll as to relieve the sufferings Of
those who have fallen victims to the NAL
ady Relief committees have been appoint
ed, samples of Windsor's water supply have
been analysed, in order To definitely de
termine, if possible, the source of the cpl
denlic; and SO far as can be judged from
this distance the epidemic will probably be
confined to its present limits,
The most reliable information in relation
to the situation is apparently that furnished
by the State board of health through the
secretary, DR.. j. H. Hamilton. According
to this authority, it was found that in the
month of January there was a case of ty-
phod fever in farm house about 200 feet
from the spring and brook which constitute
the source of water supply. The house
stands in an elevated position some thirty
or more feet above the level of this brook
Nature has formed surface drain leading
all the way from this house and its out
buildings to the valley below. SO far
as could be learned no precautions were
taken TO prevent the washings from finding
their way into the brook, and it seems clear
that the germs of the disease found their
way into the aqueduct by this course The
Board of health recommended that all water
for drinking or culinary purposes be boiled
thirty minutes to insure the destruction of
infectious germs, and that measures be
taken to prevent the flow into the water
supply of sewage and drainage from farm
buildings,
In view of the fatal results which have
followed it is plain to be seen that criminal
careessnoss characterized tho handling of
the first case of typhoid fever, and the case
| should DO investigated by the proper
authorities.

Senator i. :. Morrilrs slth Anniversary.


From the New Norl, Press, April 49,
1t is a well merited tribute which the
friends of Senator Justin 5. Morrill, of Yer
mont propose to pay him in celebrating to-
morrow tho completion Of the veteran
statesman S4th year Ii has seldom fallen
TO the lot Of a prominent American leader
and legislator 10 be- found in the harness of
public duty at such an advanced age. The
celebration occurs at a time To remind the
republic wildly Of tho debt which it owes
to Senator Morrill,. The Morrill, tariff
passed just on the eve Of the civil war, was
one of the wisest and most timely meas
ures that ever passed into the statutes of
the nation To the enactment of that law
the country is not only indebted for many
of the industries which until the advent of
Cleveandlsm made tho American people
the most prosperous ON earth, but it was
greatly instrumental in saving the Union
from disruption. While the Morrill, tariff
itself is no longer in operation, the principle
upon which it was founded has continued to
be the groundwork of the industrial policy
of the country, and it will continue to be
such long after Grover Cleveland, who now
''struts and frets his hour upon the stage"
shall have been forgotten.
