Water Supply Filtration.

DR.. J. S. Billings, the well known
sanitary expert of Washington, said
recently that no large city in this coun-
try has at the present time a thorough
IL safe and entirely satisfactory water
supply. Probably Philadelphia is the
worst off. while Baltimore and New
York are among the best. Of the water
supply of the national capital he spoke
in discouraging terms, suggesting an ex-
penditure of $5,OO0,OO0 to enlarge and
purify it. DR.. Billings states that the
old methods of sand filtration for large
water supplies, although obsolete and
in diSrepute, has been unreliable
against p%athogenic, or disease, germs,
are coming rapidly into favor again,
as the result of very careful and pro-
longed tests made at Lawrence, Mass,
at Hamburg. in Germany, and else
where. The rate at which the water
is filtered has an important bearing on
the subject. When a filter is cleaned
and new sand placed IN top, it is four
or five days before the water going
through is sufficiently free from micro
organisms to be safe; and such water
should be wasted rather than consumed
by the public. Engineers are now seek
ing a method of filtration that will be
more rapid and continuous while giving
a pure water. The latest thing is that
being tried in the old German town of
Worms, where the water is forced I'M
der pressure through the walls of large
cylinders made of a kind of artificial
stone, resembling that in a Pasteur fill
ter. At Antwerp, the impure water is
also passed through revolving cylinders
that contains fragments Of iron, which
will, Of course, kill many Of the micro
organisms.

An Ex-'Varsity Captain Speaks on
Foot Ball.

Foot Ball.
OF course there are hard plays in the
game. We all know that and expect it,
and we all take our knocks as manful-
ly as may be. These hard attacks that
come to you whenever you try to stop
an interference are a real part of the
game. 1t is impossible for you to real
ize how much evil influence you may
exert, any of you, if you resort to such
ugly methods of play as falling or
jumping on men when they are down,
or striking men when you go through
the line for nc other reason than to in
jure them, IL kicking when you are in
a crowd where the umpire cannot see
the injury your feet, are doing to those
who cannot get up and out Of the way.
The influence of one man who does this
is very great over his whole team.
They see him adopting such policy.
They are excited owe the game, and
they follow his example, unless they
are very strong characters. That at

These men suddenly find that their op-
p%onents are resorting to this wretched
method of winning a game, and they

thought and the exercise Of no little
Judgment. AS a bit Of advice, the aw|
teur manager is cautioned to be modest.
1t is extremely likely that the acting
material he has to draw upon is not
of the stuff of which stars are made.
The work of plotting a play requires
great patience and not a little work.
The stage manager should first read
the play over several times, familiar
izing himself thoroughly with its spirit,
purport and object. Then he should
endeavor to work out a plan of action
that will bring out all these particulars.
He should study each character care
fully, so that he can determine it's
exact prop%ortionate value to the story,
he should think out characteristic bits
of business that will heighten the eff
feet of each part, and he must devise
stage groupings Of the characters that
will make pictures; for a play is feally
a story illustrated by living pictures.
The groupings must be so arranged
that b e component parts balance each
other. Care must be taken that no act
or stands in a line and so hides another;
neither should there be a majority of
players on any one side of the of the
stage. They should be so grouped that
an artistic equilibrium is always es-
tablished. Then each page of ext must
be considered so that the entrances and
exits are all consistently arranged
Thus, if a character goes off through a
door on the left-hand side Of the stage
say to enter that part Of the house
set aside for the family-it must be
seen that on his temperance he does
not come in through a door which Is
supposed to communicate with the
street. All these little points have to be
most carefully considered. Then when
an act or scene has been brought out
in this way, the exact method of pro-
cedure should be set down on the blank
page opposite the printed page, so that
when the stage manager comes to drill
his forces, he may know just where
each character should be at almost ev-
cry line in the plays teXt.-Harper's

find their vocation in the management
OF a greenhouse. Raising flower seeds
is a remunerative occupation. Choice

The care Of precious plants for abb

sweil the balance. Some florists not
only supply flowers but arrange them
in their receptacles, charging an extra
sum for the service.

The Princess Merceder.

Princess Mercedes Of Spain, who Is
nov in her nineteenth year, enjoys the
altogether exceptional distinction, for
so young a girl, Of being an ex-queen.
Her little brother, the preseat king Of
Spain, was not born until owe six
months after the death Of his father,
the late King Alfonso XII. and during
those six months Maria de las Mer-
cedes held the rank Of queen Of Spain.
On the appearance Of her baby brother
she was obliged to step down from her
throne and surrender the title Of queen
and Of majesty, assuming In their
stead that Of princess Of the Asturias.
The title of prince or princess Of the
Asturias is invariably borne by the
heir apparent to the throne, just in the
same way as the title Of prince Of
Wales is borne by the eldest son Of the
ruler of Great Britain. Princess Mer.
cedes is a very clever little girl, with
all the self-possession. the gravity and
the sedateness Of a Spaniard.

are shuS up.
Green food must be provided for
pigeons. Lettuce may be sown in
trOughs or boxes for them to pick off.
Almost any smooth-leayed green will
be relished, but must be made fast to
something to enable them to pick off
little pieces at a time.

to bake them in their jackets and eat

Protect Sheep Against Grub I'm the
Head.

Many American shepherds advise
smearing the salt trough with tar, but
this is seldom thorough enough. A
practice to he recommended, where
the flock is not too large, is to smear
the noses of the sheep periodically, at
least once a week, during the season
of greatest activity of the fly, with a
mixture of equal parts of tar and
grease, Or of tar and fish oil. or of tar
and whale oil. Some have used whale
oil alone with good results. A brush
will be found convenient to apply
these mixtures. A reliable Authority
speaks in fiattering terms of the use
of an ointment made as follows:
ReeswaX, m pound; linseed oil, one
pint; carbolic acid, four ounces. Melt
the wax and oil together, adding two
ounces Of rOSin to give body; then, as
it is cooking, stir liz the carbolic acid.
The same authority mentions the use
by some breeders of choice stock of a
canvas face cover smeared with this
mixture, or with one of asafetida and
tallOw, which may be adjusted in such
a fashion as not to interfere with the
sight or with grazing, and yet protect
the lamb against the fly that lays the
egg from which the grub patches.
Some farmers plow a few burrows in
the pasture so the sheep may put their
n"ses in the fresh earth and thus keep
the fly away.-Orange Judd Farmer.
