--Nhc Columbia Register says that
Governor Evans has not yet acted on
the bin passed by the last Legislature
prohibiting county trcasut crs from
publishing thoir annual reports In the
county Dapcrs. This was the only
way for the taxpayers to see what had
become OF their money, but tho Log
islaturc seemed to think this was IN
necessary. Besides this it cost q little
to publish tho reports and the strict
economists saw where a few hundred
dollars might be saved by prohibiting
the publications. 1t was learned from
good authority that Governor Evans
would likely veto tho BIZ, or Nhold it
up" which would amount to about the
same thing Ia the end.

Curious title for soda water talk,
isn't it? But its important Well
tell you something interesting for
you to know.
Experience has shown that the
block-tin lining Of soda tanks, the
containers in which the soda is car
donated, don't last but a few years.
When this lining is defective and
the tank is copper, someone is sure
to be poisoned. 1t won't kill you,
but it will produced seasickness
that won't be relieved until the
poisoned soda is up.
Now, steel tanks are absolutely
safe. We use them exclusively.
Should the lining of block-tin be
defective no harm results. There
no poison in steel. If it leaks, we
know it. 1t won't keep its pres
sure and it is laid aside.
No one has ever been poisoned
by drinking our soda. We have
always taken the best precautions.
We leave nothing to chance. No
safety in any other plan.

A POet-Artfst's Wife.

From Temple Bar.
In 1872, William Blake the poet-artist,
was married to Catherine Boucher, a woman
four years his junior. and so illiterate as to
be unable to write her own name. But, by
way of compensation. she appears to have
been exceptionally gifted in all the qualities
that tended to fit her for companionship with
a man who was not only extremely world
ly, but self-willed and even dogmatic to the
last degree. Yet, with the exception of some
slight misunderstanding during the first
wears of their marriage, she was ever in full
est svmpsthy with his aims and work; in
deed, she appears to have fallen in with mis-
habits of he and thought so completely as
to become truly second self, even to the
extent of sharing what people have been
ready to set down as his madness. Linnell
who knew Blake as well any one, says
that he never perceived any trace of in
sanity in the man; but then, insanity, SO
