Drinking Water Sources.

Prom Haspor'- Weekly.
At the Academy Of Medicine in New
York an important session has been
held. attended by the most distinguish
ID of oGr bacteriologists. TIE matter
under discussion was 10 indicate the
standard types q bacteria, ~, thsds Of
cultivation AID 70 in;erpret cft cts.
Tie bibii0gFspby ofthe subject wants
sorting aZd sitting. Then STANDARD
forms might be emphasized, and the
study Of variations become more posi-
bls. 1t Is apparent that we have, a.
was natural, looked more to tine de
struction of the bacilIi than their first
production. Ii is evident, however,
that the first stage j. the equally i'm
portant one, for could we check naseent
growth, then the ideal OF the sanitar-
ium would come abOGt-tbat j., then
there would be no germs Of disease.
As To the physical appearance of the
microbes under tie microscope, very
much more has To he learned. Accord
ing to Professor Adami, of Montreal,
between what are malignant and bene-
iicent germs there are the strongest
family iikencsscs. The micrOs, Opist's
lens has H. value, bat the other test of
media must be employed. In one kind
Of media certain bacteria viii live and
flourish, and in another die. Here
probably may be found the key which
in the time to come will unlock the
secret why it Is that the introduction
of the attenuatcd cultured bacilli be-
comes preseryative of life. On this
most important subject, a. to tine rea-
sons for it, bacteriologists cannot a. yet
give any satisfactory explanation. And
for that want Of certainty the world
hesitatcs 10 accept what are positively
tie cures or preventive Of disease.
Ignorance Of the complexities Of a
subject might be excused, but willful
disregard Of the ccmmone~t laws of
health i criminal. Within the last
month typhoid fever was rife in Evans
Vile, Indiana, city with over 5O,e,O
inhabitants. The disease began to
show itself in January, February aud
March, but not in any marked way.
There were nine deaths of typhoid
fever in the three months In April
there were l7G eases, with twenty-three
deaths. The reason was simple The
water used for drinking purposes was
taken at a point on the Ohio river near
the outlet Of he uiain sewers.

The Origin of Postage Stamps.

The origin of the postage stamp has
a tinge of romance in it. lt was thir-
ty-seven years ago that Rowland Hill,
while crossing district in the north
of England, arrived at the door of an
inn where postman had stopped to
deliver letter \ young girl came
out 10 receive it; she turned il over and
over in her hand and asked the price
of postage. This was large sum, and
evidently the girl was poor, for the
postmaster demanded shilling. She
sighed sadly and said the letter was
from her brother, but that she had no
money, and so she returned the letter
to the postman. Touched with pity
Mr. Hill paid the postage and gave the
letter to the girl, who seemed very
much embarrassed. Scarcely had the
postman turned his back, when the
inn-kceper's young daughter confessed
that il was a trick between her and her
brother. Some signs on the envelope
told her all she wanted to know, but
the letter contained no writing. 1--WE
are both so poor" she added, THAT We
invented this mode of corresponding
without paying for the letters" The
traveller continuing his road asked HIM
self if system giving rise TO such frauds
was not vicious one. Before sunset
] Rowland had planned to organize the
/ postal service upon new basis-with
what success is known TO the world.

Major Jose Ramon Pico Finds No Con-
ISOLATION in Regrets.
Major Pico called on Governor Budd
yesterday to inquire why the latter did
not approve the bill passed by the Legis-
lature to pay him $4,000 for moneys ex-
pended by him in fitting out battalion
of Union soldiers during the war.
The Major says the Governor expressed
regret that he felt obliged to "pocket''
the bill, but that he could not see his way
to do otherwise, notwithstanding two
Legislatures had voted the money. He
says the Governor advised him to submit
his claim to the Board of Examiners and
present it to the next Legislature, but
that he told him he had done with the
matter.
Major Pico said last night that it was
useless to have the Legislature repeatedly
voting to pay him the money that he feels
is due him, if Governors will not ap-
prove the bills. He had, he said, assur-
ances from all quarters that the public
sympathiZed with the old soldier in his
day of adversely, and that the people
would have been glad TO have him re-
paid for outlays made at time when it
was needed in defense of the Union.
The Major says his disappointment is
all the greater because he had been led to
believe the Governor would approve his
claim.

Committee for the Ninth Gr

Committee for the Ninth Grade.
Another surprise awaited her, for, after
a vocal solo had been rendered, the reel
tation on the programme by Blanche
Ficks proved TO be the forerunner of an
other presentation. Her address was as
follows:
''TeacberS and Friends: The experi-
ence of all has been that there are times
in our lives when we fail in speech to ak
press the feelings of the heart. Our gath
erlng this morning in this temDle of
education bring that fact forcibIy before
US. No effort Of mine in words, it mat
tCrs not how humble or gifted they might
be, could reflect or portray the feelings of
your heart and mine on this to all OF MS
teachers and pupils, a sad and ever-to-be
remem Oered occasion in the history of
this school.
''Fellow-pupils, Miss Mary J. Watson.
who devoted her life to the cause OF
education and humanity long before we
were born, Is now about to sever her
official relationship with US forever. For
twenty seven years this grand and noble
woman has devoted her life and energies
to the intellectual development of the
boys and girls Of Sacramento. Hundreds
who sat at her feet and learned wisdom
have gone forth into the diverging walks
of life. Many of them have made for
themselves names which will live when
your tongue and mine will be palsied in
death. To-day many throughout this
broad land Will pause in the rush and
whirlpool of life, If but for a moment,
and thank God that Mary J. Watson was
once their teacher, guide and friend.
Their teacher, because her efforts were
untiring in storing their minds with that
knowledge which always leads to bet
teT and nobler manhood and woman
hood.
Their guide, because she never called
into use the persuasive influence OF the
rod, except as a reminder TO the boys
only, that school laws must be honored
and Obeyed.
Their friend, because of her untiring
devotion to her calling as an educator of
children.
Dear teacher and principal, the hour
has come when you, as teacher. will bid
US, as pupils, good-by forever. We all
fully realize that there is nothing that
possesses an intrinsic value which could
bind you TO Us more firmly than your
labor OF love as teacher has. In this separa-
ton we desire that you shall take with
you some token of kind remem brance
from the pupils of this school. ou have
