The Older child had been seri-

her life had been dispaired of
many times during the past few
days, and all that medical aid
could do was done for the child

sympathy of the community is
with them in their hour of grief

high compliment as his first i'm.

lands amounted to 23,936.l8;
those of government lands to

repaid In the lives saved. Indeed, there is
no waste of money when II is used 20 savA
human life. The original cost at Lawrence
Mass, was &c., 900. the running expenses
$1,000 per year. In one year there were
forty-eight lives saved by sand filtration.
Estimating the value OF human life at
5000, Lawrence was repaid $4,000 over
ard above the cost of investment. and the
running expenses are paid out of one life
saved every year. The cost of the system
rarely exceeds $50 per inhabitant, and the
running expenses, including the interest on
the cost of construction, will not exceed
tEirty-five cents per inhabitant annually.

SedfmentatfOn and Filtration.
In Europe 20,OOO,OO0 people are now regu-
larly supplied with filtered water. This
number about equals the total population Of
the cities of the United States which have a
public water supply. In London 100000
of people receive 100000, 600 gallons daily
of pure filtered water, from 120 acres of
sand filters. Other cities thus supplied in
Europe are Liverpool, Birmingham, Berlin
Leeds, Bradford, Hamburg, Amsterdam
Rotterdam Antwerp, Breslau, Magdeburg
Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Copenhagen and
Zurich. The facts of the decrease of the
death rate with pure water supply and
perfected sewerage have been so often be-
fore this society that it is not necessary to
repeat them here. The history of Lawrence
Mass, which at one time had large NOR
tally from typhoid fever and which now,
with filtered water, has a greatly reduced
mortality, is one of the most striking eX-
ampleS in this country. Cor the four years be-
fore the use of the filter the death rate, on
basis Of $1,000 people, was sixty-four. In the
first year afterward there was reduction of
70 per cent, the death rate being sixteen. The
uniform annual reduction in the death rate
is about 60 per cent. In the year 1894 10000
to 10000 analyses of the water were made,
which proved the success of filtration, about
1914 per cent of bacteria being removed
The value of sand filtration as the most
convenient and effective method for the
publication of drinking water is now so gen.
orally admitted that 1t is not necessary to
dwell upon it here. That this must be
adopted ultimately for the water supply of
Washington there can be no doubt. Mechani-
| cal filtration, while more rapid, is in the end
unsatisfactory, and has nothing to recon-
| mend it except it's lower cost.
The cost Of filtration beds and of the main
| tenance Of the system are the only objec-
| tions to their adoption. That the capital Of
| this great and powerful country should hesi
| tate to adopt means for the preservation of
| the health and lives of its population. which
| have been used for years in such cities
Rotterdam, Breslau and Copenhagen, does
| not argue strongly for our enlightenment as
| compared with theirs. We DO not allow our
| selves to be surpassed in the art of war, and
we claim to lead in many of the arts Of
peace but in the adoption of methods for
preserving the lives of the people we have
| not yet reached the public spirit and intel
| lgence of the governments of England,
| Germany, Switzerland and Russia. And yet
| the growth of knowledge on this subject has
| been so rapid that we may confidently hope
| for early and very efficient action by Con-
| gress, which has already shown itself ready
| to act when once convinced.
| The cost of the new water supply of Bos-
| ton Is $25,0O0,0OO, and there is very little
doubt but that all this money will be soon

From these figures it Is seen that Wash

"Put Me of AZ Buffalo"

The title of this wellknown
song as well as the song itself
emanated from the brain OF an
employee of the Buffalo Brewing
Company. That enterprising firm,
believing that a man who could
compose so catchy an air must
have a large and we'll balanced
brain, straightway raised his sala-
ry. This has proven to be a good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their
beer, which is dispensed over the
bars of the Cosmopolitan, Pacific
and Royal saloons at the rate
of two glasses for Csc; half
and half is also served at the
same price. 1t is always
fresh and cold and life sustaining.
Or you can get one glass Of Buff
falo and Que of Pabst beer, the
fine product of the Milwaukee
brewery. Exchsngeeble checks
good at all the above. mentioned
resorts are given in change if you
only want one drink. BEST beer
ever in Honolulu" is the verdict
