OUR DRINKING WATER.
II Is FILLED With Impurities In Every
Part of the Land.

New York City on a recent day con-
sumed II million gallons of water. At
least n million gallons of impurities
were contained in this quantity. 1t is,
therefore, not surprising that the ques-
ton Of purity Of drinking water has
invaded the business office. Rich men
who are ,vexed by slight physical all
mcnts. or who are the victims Of nerv-
BUS troubles. are not slow to discover
that there is danger in the water cooler.
Many of them have their water boiled
and chilled by refrigeration before they
will drink IT. Others have In their pri-
vate offices Jars of mineral waters. Many
bank n railroad presidents are particu-
lar about having the water they drink
free from poisonous germs. People who
would avoid the dangers which arise
from water impurities at all times should
make a practice Of taking a little pure
whiskey each, day. Even should germs
have invaded the system this will eff
fectually destroy them. 1t will keep the
blood free from taint, and in healthy mo-
ton.
Great care should be taken, however,
to have only pure whiskey, n 1t should
be remembered that there is but one
ana that Is pyhg.s Pure Malt. t IS not
strengthening, nourishing, and does just
what is claimed for 1t. Do not permit
any one to convince otherwise

A DISLIKE OF DUKES.
A Handicap Which the Highest of Eng
 fish Peers Have to Carry.

A Handicap w htch the Highest Of Eng
 fish Peers Have to Garry.
 We may note peeuliarity in the English feeling about titles of which we have never seen reasonable expla- nation. The political populace dislikes the title of duke. Some of the ablest peers in politics hayo been dukes, but to be duke weights instead of tighten ing man ill the great race for power There is & widely diffused impression, the origin of which we cannot trace, that duke is sure to be a little stupid, that brilliant duke is, ill fact, an i'm possibility. The title is positive draw back to the Duke of Devonshire, and q Duke of Derby would never have been described as Rupert of debate D
 The Duke of Argyll, who is an intel lectual athlete, would have been far more completely recognized as Earl of Argyll, and we are not sure that tho dukedom has not impeded one or two promising politicians in the house of lords. Certainly q duke rarely rises there unless he has become known to the country before tho title crushed him. Is it that tho rank oyerpewers the pop ular imagination till men cease to see tho person-a thing which constantly happens ill tho case of kings-or is it that men can never forget the special rank by merging it in the simpler and more familiar title of "lord?'
 No peer except duke is invariably mentioned by tho title which marks his grade. We have not an idea of tho true explanation, but we know that polit- ioal earl who accepted dukedom would lose heavily in popular estimation, and that even marquis like Lord Sails bury, who would alter his rank so lit tie, would find that the coronet of strawberry leaves acted, to a certain extent, as an extinguisher, while if his son never entered the house of commons he would have to struggle against some inexplicable weight. The fact is one of the very oldest in the whole of the odd history of the influence of rank, but of it's reality we entertain no doubt what ever. To say "that is ducal opinion" is to say it is an opinion that no one in our days need consider. r.-London Spec tatOr

THE POWER OF HOME.
Its Relation to Society and Its Infuencs
 In the Church.

In the Church.
 The unit of society is the home. En- rollment that assumes to be thorough is not a registration by individuals, but by families. If we were to say that the structure of society is cellular, we should have to say that it is the family that constitutes each separate coll. No man, however entire, is a cell. No woman, however complete, is a cell. There is no finished cell except in the grouping of several individuals bound by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is a dislocated fragment. His female coun- terpart is in the same category. It may not be their fault. It may lie in the necessity of their case. Still, all in all, it is condition foreign to divine in- tention.
 It is to the family, therefore, that we shall have to look as being the prime the veal of our times and our kind The strength and health of society arc to be measured by the amount of affec- tionate emphasis that is laid on the homo idea, and the wholesomeness of society is simply the sanctity of the home writ large Homes are each of them the separate roots that carry their several contributions to the organized structure of the general life
 All of this holds whether society be considered in it's religious relations, which we know as the church, or in it's secular ones, known as the state The home is the first church, and the homo is the first state. There is nothing in either of the two that is not initially present in small way inside the home circle. As regards the former there is a very important idea conserved in so ar ranging our church auditoriums as to combine the congregation without sacri- icing the identity of its families. The pew system of worship is the delft way that our church architecture takes to teach the doctrine that each home is a litte religious organism. This is one of those interesting cases where a sense of fitness, even without being distinctly conscious of it, nevertheless asserts it. self and creates very substantial ex- pression of itself And there is no preaoher-at least there is no pastor who does not carry distinctly ill his head and particularly i'll his heart, this cellular structure of his congregation and does not feel that the significance of his congregation depends not on the number of its individuals, but on the number of it's families.
