An impossible Sacrifice,

A Hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used
to get rid of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: "Once,
when in Paris, Napoleon and l paid a
visit to hospital for old soldiers Here
he perceived among the rest man who
had lost one of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. Where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor.
AT Austerl litz, your majesty Then
no doubt you curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your mutilated limb?' NO indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native land would readily sacrifice
my other arm If needs be. 4 can hardly
believe that the emperor remarked
and passed on. But the soldier. anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme-
diately drew a saber from its sheath and
Topped off his other arm"
Here Deak would pause and fix q
penetrating look on his visitor. "Well,
what have you to say of such a man
and such an action?" "a most sublime
act Of self sacrifice A truly noble char
acterW This was the style of reply in
variably given. "But the story has one
faw," he would gravely add. "What
is that, pray?" 'It is simply imprac-
ticable. How could one armed man
ccntrive to cut Off his only remaining
arm?"

A NEW WAY TO PURIFY WATER.
Chemicals Said 20 BE Superior to Either
Boiling or Filtering.

Chemicals Said 70 BE Superior to Either
Boiling or Fiitering.
According to DR.. Dupont, physician
Of Paris, writing in Les Annales d'Hy-
giene Publique, safe and effective
method Of Purifying water by chemical
action has been discovered. DIR. Dupont
notes that hitherto the methods of puri-
flying drinking water have been by fl
tration 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-
cially after the apparatus has been long
in use. DIR. Dupont does not assert that
boiling fails to destroy noxious germs,
but he says that it often leaves in the
water organic matter that might be
dangerous to health, and that boiling
makes water less digestible by robbing
IL of its gases. He instances case in
which water from the Seine was found
after boiling to contain more microbes
than before.
M. Girar, director Of the municipal
laboratory of Paris, and DIR. Bordas,
pupil of Professor Brouardel, have re-
GENTLY presented to the Academy Of
Sciences, through the chemist Friedel,
q communication on the publication of
water by chemical action. The chemic-
ais used are permanganate Of lime and
binoxide Of manganese. The permanga-
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 purifica-
tion, the water is poured over binoxide
Of manganese Oxygen in the nascent
state is thus freed, and 1t burns up 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 1.3 grains troy to
about a quart Of water taken from the
Seine at point near Paris resulted in
the production Of perfectly pure water
as wholesome as spring water. Dr. Du-
pont says that if the process can be made
successful ON large scale the question
of purifying water is settled. Water
containing 100, 900 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.

The Primitive Gun.

AS soon as the forces of the explosive
gases developed by the burning Of pow
der became known tho old style weap-
ons disappeared, and firearms took their
places. The first Of the kind was small
gun barrel fastened to long pole and
fred with slow match. Shot stones,
balls of lead, iron bolts and fireballs to
set buildings on fire were propelled with
this apparatus. Only short distance
could be shotwith these primitive guns.
The old and clumsy siege machines
which threw heavy stones by means Of
spring rope were changed into siege
guns. Iron Age.

Rubinstein and Bulow.

Rubinstein was undoubtedly inaccu-
rate at times. People who held scores
through those long programmes could
easily find that out. He 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 dullards
gloated over. Bulow was more accu-
rate, but even Bulow forgot or manu-
faotured 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

Attacked by n Moose.

A correspondent, writing from Mecu-
noma, Muskoka, to the Montreal Wit
ness, gives an interesting account Of an
Ia toboggan trail through pine forest
be came upon a moose yard, and on
boxing round saw one Of the "giants of
The forest" about 80 yards distant
After a moment, he writes, the moose
turned and walked behind hill, which,
though not high, was steep. ran to
the top with all speed, hoping to get
view of the lordly creature as he made
his way through tho 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
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
ed name, expressing his rage by fierce
below.
In turning stumbled, the ground
being very uneven, and his feet nearly
came down on me as lodged among
some trees. tried to strike with my
hatchet, the only weapon had, but did
not succeed in injuring my pursuer.
With some difficulty at last got into
the deep snow, where my snowshoes
were Of more use to me.
The moose still pursued me, roaring
at intervals, and one who has not heard
moose roar can form but little idea Of
the terrible believing. After several
attempts to strike me with his front
feet he balked and stood about 30
yards away paving and roaring. I
seized this opportunity to climb tree,
and soon after the animal turned and
made OF.
OF all the adventures have had in
the bush-and they number few-the
one I have just related came the nearest

OLD "JIM CROW"
How Rice Introduced This Unique Char
aoter to the Stage.

ncter to the Stage.
In the early twenties Thomas Dart
mouth Rice first entered upon his theat-
rical career by "doing little negro bits, ="
between the acts of plays, says the
writer in tho Boston Herald. While in
Louisville tho theater at which he per-
formed looked out back upon an old
stable yard, around which there was
constantly lounging an old, decrepit
slave named Jim Crow, who was so
frightfully deformed as to appear inhu-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck in a way that would indicate
that the bone had been inverted. His
lower limbs were dreadfully distorted,
the left knee being huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with pitiful, yet ludi-
crous, hobble.
This forlorn darlky was in the habit
Of grooming n queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close of each verse by taking
a peculiar step-"roclxin de heel" Rice
closely watched this unconscious per-
former, and conceived the idea of pro-
ducing similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would "take" wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
ly as the original and appeared upon q
Louisville stage singing score Of hu-
morous verses to the air--slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple. The audience received
this innovation with bursts Of applause,
encoring him dozen times the first
night. And thus "Jim Grow" jumped
into fame and immortality.

voice greater than any soprano recorded

octaves Her tones are produced without
the slightest physical effort. Her voice

three years Mss Yaw had the most care
