BQfiaIO LUNA springs, H., July -
(Staff orrespondence.)- One night some
years ago, after riding through rocky
mountain passes until 2 o'clock in the
morning, / waited for the steam whistle
of the great trunk line express, which
was due to pass in few minutes, the
black little, wild little station. When |
stepped into the Pullman, | had stepped
almost from barbarism into civilization,
and to use the regulation word-'mc
thought" Methought there were some
things in this changeful world unchange-
full and eternal-constant as the stars:
one of these constant things was the stu
pidity of the Pullman porter; it is the
same in every Pullman car the world
over; the Pullman car is the same; when
other friends change, it is the same; an
other is an egg, which, though it some
times undergoes a change Of heart is
frank in making it known, so that one is
1T once undeceiyed. But ''methought,"
there can be no egg mandatory, with
labels like this: This egg is not an egg
without the countersign of J. Eggleston
or something. You can count on it being
en- egg; for the hen, sincere creature that
she is, never lays Il counterfeit or insin-
cere egg-a constant quantity, the egg.
Then | ordered a bottle of Basis ale
always the same, | quoth, the same
rushing through this wolf-infested night
as at Charing Cross in London. Then
comes 'Appolnaris," the same every
where; and if one stops at a cafe along
the Champs Elysees in Paris, and orders
I3llfalo Lithia Water, one hnds 1t the
same, and ones mind goes back to the
fl ~ -
ginia hills it gurgles like a song of health
for all the world to hear
These hills. Not precipitous but
Idimpling, then they stretch away. with
|bayonet fash of corn-felds and tobacco
fields, then they roll. crested with a
rich deep surf of green, of dogwood and
hickory and cedar and poplar and syca-
more and elm, with the busily sweet call
of the quail coming from the covert
across the shimmering wheat etubblc
slope from somewhere, one can't tell ex-
eactly whore.
Sitting on my verandah, overlooking
the spacious oblong lawn. embroidered
with streams and generously shaded with
Lombardy poplars, birches, naples, as
pens, hickory and other homestead SUM
mer-time trees, | happened to drop into
conversation with my next-door neigh
Dor, an old gentleman from Cincinnati.
And how did you happen to come from
so far away" | asked "This water
lie replied, lis almost as well known in
Cincinnati as it is here" This area
around Winch the ''rows" and cottages
are disposed slopes from the brow Of
a hill quite smartly for 500 yards to the
stream level where the spring and spring
house are The buildings are well off
the ground and are with the fall perfect
" drained with hard, dry ground under
meath. Then the buildings are painted
and well-groomed," being built as if
they were intended for decent folks to
live in, and are not dampish, temporary
affairs, not last-year' s-birds' nest cabins
of the clammy sort that one finds .at
many places of summer resort.
or cbtfne, this is but rambling letter
OF impressions, and ones self, therefore
cannot be entirely left out. OF course.
too, the fame of this water goes over the
world in connection with kidney troubles.
OF which | cannot speak except from
the experience of others. But | am utter
Il surprised at the seeming failure Of the

toned to constant night-work in my bust,
ness, cannot break myself Of the habit
Of staying awake on off-nights. and.
therefore, looked forward my first night
here to lonely night of wakefulness and
lIeading. / had drank the water quite
freely during the day, and started out
to make my regular off-night of it. The
next thing ! knew the knock at my door

! could not have read ten minutes and
tie night was sweet blank And this was
what set ME to thinking on those effects
Of the water of which / had not before
heard. Looking into the matter, I found
that DR.. Hunter Mcclure, Of Richmond,
had been impressed in the same way as q
result of his use of the water among his
patients. 1T has never failed me-" he
writes, "as a powerful nerve tonic when

| DIR. VIM. A. Hammond and DR. G.

sgaute discomfort and that eagerness
which makes ones energies feel like
ieaping into some kind of action, taking
no thought of fatigue and making no
