Meeting of the Farmers Club.

A good attendance of Cecil Farmers
Club assembled at the hospitable home of
A. J. Michener, West Nottingham, on
Wednesday, where an interesting and
profitable exchange of views were had on
agricultural subjects, the irrepressible
question of finance coming in for large
share of attention and discussion. Like
Banquo's ghost, the subject won't down,
but insists that the farmer is as vitality
interested in it as other divisions of the
producing industrial class.
Several purely agricultural topics were
discussed by the members, and when
invited out of the council chamber to the
banqueting hall there was hearty con-
currence, and the best Of good humor
along with good cheer put to fight all the
temper excited by debate. The committee
who were appointed to view the farm and
its appointments. made a fattering report
of Mr.. Michener's farm, farming and
methodical method of conducting bus
mess.

1t is another one Of those old super
stitions handed down from generation
to generation from our European ances-
tors, and of which no one knows the der

the Sioux and other tribes Of the Indians
Of the west, who seem to have inherited
that belief from their forefathers along
with SO many other quaint things. They
still believe, and it's part Of their
creed, that in hunting the body of a
drowned person you can discover its
resting place by floating chip of cedar
wood, which will stop, even in the
strongest current, and turn around over
the exact spot
In Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person is
most prevalent in Cornwall and various
parts of Scotland. The French sailor
and the boatman of the Danube bow to
the decree, together with the Russians,
and let the people drown.
DIR. Taylor, in his Primitive Gull
ture," declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water

He is supposed to be dead after once

Attacked by a Moose.

A correspondent, writing from Mecu-
mona, Muskoka, to the Montreal Wit
ness, gives an interesting account of an
adventure with a moose. While making
toboggan trail through pine forest
he came upon a moose yard, and ON
looking round saw one of the giants of
the forest about 90 yards distant
After a moment, he writes, the moose
turned and walked behind hill, which,

the top with all speed, hoping to get a
view of the lordly creature as he made
his way through the bush. could not
see him at first, but ON looking down
the steep incline there he was, and ten
yards away.
He turned to make off, but striking
his ribs against the projecting limb of a
small hemlock he was thrown down
and round the tree, and as he rose he
faced me- 1t was now my turn to run,
for the moose charged at me with erect

Rubinstein and BuIow.

Rubinstein was undoubtedly inaccu-
rate at times People who held scores
through those long programmes could
easily find that out Re not only en-
broidered even Beethoven, but he would
invent Bach. What he invented was
probably quite as good as what he hap
pened to forget and always extremely
interesting. Still, it was not note for
note, and that is what the billiards
gloated over. Bulow was more accu-
rate, but even Bulow forgot or manu-
featured a bar or two occasionally. But
these, if spots. were spots in the sun,
and certainly all Rubinstein did or left
undone serve but to accentuate his in
dividuality and display his genius in
new and startling lights. -Fortnightly

Boiling or Filtering.

According 10 Or. Dupont. physician
az Pans. writing in Les Annalos Hy-
riene Pnhlique, a safe and effective
method Of purifying water BY chemical
action has been discovered. Dr.. Dupont
notes that hitherto the methods Of puri-
fying drinking water have been by fill
raticn and by the action Of heat Fill
tration is the oldest and least effective
method Even filtration through porous
porcelain. the most effective substance
known. cannot always be trusted, espe-
eially after the apparatus has been long
in use. DR.. Dupont does not assert that
boiling fails to destroy noxions germs,
bnt he says that il often leaves in the
water organic matter that might be
dangerous TO health. and that boiling
makes water less digestihle by robbing
it of its gases. he instances case IN
which water from the Seine was found
after boiling to contain more microbes
than before
H. Girar, director Of the municipal
laboratory Of Paris, and DR.. Bordas, a
pupil of Professor Brouardel, have re-
Gently presented to the Academy Of
Sciences, through the chemist Friedel,
a communication on the publication Of
water by chemical action. The chemic-
ais used are permanganate Of lime and
binoxide Of manganese. The peTmanga-
nate Of lime, coming in contact with or
ganic matter and micro organisms, de-
stroys them and decomposes itself into
oxygen, oxide of manganese and lime.
Then, to carry off the surplus Of per-
manganate and complete the puriiica-
ton, the water is poured over binoxide
of manganese. Oxygen in the nascent
state is thus freed, and it burns mp any
remaining germs There remain then in
the apparatus inferior oxides of manga
nese, which hasten to reoxidize them
selves and furnish again certain guam
tity of binoxide of manganese. The wa
ter, as thus finally purified, contains a
little lime in the form OF bicarbonate
and traces of oxygenated water.
A very small quantity of permanga-
nate of lime is used in this process.
Not more than 1S grains troy TO
about a quart of water taken from the
Seine at a point near Paris resulted in
the production of perfectly pure water
as wholesome as spring water. DIR. Du-
pont says that if the process can be made
successful on a large scale the question
of purifying water is settled. Water
containing 100, 600 colonies of microbes
per cubit centimeter can thus be puri-
fed, and ice placed in water with per-
manganate Of lime is also quickly ster-
ilized.

Mr.. TERRELL 8 BOLD THREAD
Vigorous Attitude of Our Minister at
COnStantinOple.
TO PROTECT LADY MISSIONARIES.
If They Are Harmed he Will Demand and
obtain the Governors Head-Details
Of the Recent Raids by Kurds
Near Kharput.

CONsTANTINOPLE,N Nov. 25.--No news was
received from the interior on Saturday,
except from Marsovan, where all was
quiet, though apprehension was felt for
the safety of the American missionaries at
Marsovan and the houses were carefully
/ protected The sultan on Saturday sent
a message to Minister Terrell to the effect
that no disturbances had been reported
from the Anatolia peninsula on Friday
ana Saturday. A report recently became
current that the governor Of Hadiim had
threatened to burn the convent of the
town and the barley fields surrounding.
Minister Terrell thereupon informed the
sublime porte that if any of three Ameri-
can lady missionaries resident at Hadiim
We're injured in any way he would demand
and obtain the governors head. The lady
missionaries were safe up to noon today.
A batch of official dispatches has been
published representing that order has been
completely restored almost everywhere,
except at Sivas, owing to the measures
which the government has adopted
1t is officially announced that several of
the notables and persons in authority at
Ewcroum have apologized to Shakir Pasha
for the disorders provoked at that town by
Armenian revolutionists
The Christian bishops at Ourfa have
telegraphed the grand vizier that their
safety is now assured
The sultan has ordered that the corn col
lected in the form of tithes shall be dis
tributod among the needy inhabitants of
Swan and Kharput.
The opinion prevails in diplomatic circles
that a European conference is indispen-
sable for the settlement of the Turkish
question, for, although the powers have
agreed, this agreement cannot be changed
into action for fear of drawing Europe
into dangerous eastern situation. The
winter SHOWS will keep the Asiatic prov
inces quiet, but something must be done
before spring time revives the excitement
and Macedonia is brought into the move
ment.
COnsuls estimate the loss to property as
a result of the Diarbekir riots alone at
e. 100000
General alarm still continues here, des-
pite reassuring reports from the provinces
and the wealthy Armenians sleep mt the
hotels in preference to remaining at their
own houses.
The kernel of the present situation is
found in the fact that the government is
without money. The sultan is anxious to
stop disorders, but lacks funds with which
to pay the troops
