was very much to his mind. and the ne

the question OF hiring also the farmers

nest and by some unaccountable acct

birds getting their feet entangled in
bits of yarn or string are not at all un-

LITTLE GIRLS TRAVELS.
VIII Journey, All Alone, from San Fran

VIII Journey, All Alone, from San Fran
cisco to Australia.
On the steamer Dora, that recently
entered San Francisco bay on its re-
turn from Alaska, was one wee passen-
ger who has quite history for small
girl.
Her father, Richard Beasley, was
ships clerk on the warship Pinta, and
some years ago sailed from New York
to Alaska. He left his wife and child
behind, expecting to send for them.
After he had been gone some time Mrs.
Beasley died, leaving Jennie, then a
baby of four years, alone.
The wee mite was tagged, put on a
train and started for Yukatu, Alaska,
where her father had taken charge of q
trading store. She arrived safely and
for four years was the only white child
in the village, but was perfectly happy
with her native playmates.
Her father has now decided to send
her to Brisbane, Australia, to live with
an uncle and to go to school, as the mis-
sions in Alaska are not very advanced,
and this child, not more than nine, has
started on her long journey. If she
reaches her destination in safety she
will be the greatest Travelled person of
her age now living, having journeyed
half around the world in westerly di-
rection and one-third of the way around
in q southely course.

The householder who during the

and to feel that there no longer turks
germs of typhoid, diphtheria or enteric
troubles in the liquid he drinks. hut
unless one is positively certain as to the
purity Of the water used by his family
it is well to test it. A simple test which
may be tried at home is to put a half
glass of water and Tablespoonful
of granulated sugar into bottle,
which must be tightly corked. Set IN
room where the thermometer regis
tiers about 20. The phial must stand IN
strong light, but not in the direct sun
light. If the water is impure there
will appear by the end of two days
light specks in the liquid. Keep the
bottle corked for week, and then see
if there is any odor about the contents.
If you discover peculiar smell, as OF
rancid oil, beware! The water may
be all right for washing, but it contains
germs which may prove to be an insidi-
Gus but deadly poison.
Many physicians forbid the use OF
ice in drinking water, declaring that 1t
is SO often contaminated as to cause
serious illness. A cooler containing an
outside ice chamber may now be
bought, and by the use Of this the liquid

reach of all housekeepers, is to keep
