Bad Drinking Water.

Every American traveller in
Europe is regarded as million
aire. says a correspondent of the
New York Tribune, and therefore
fair game for plumber. There is
a worse evil than this, against
which it is not so easy to protect
ones self. This is the vile drink
ing water usually supplied. Be
sure and see that it is properly
filtered. With the exception of
Vienna, there is scarcely a city
or town on the Continent, or. for
the matter of that, in England,
where the water is not polluted
to such degree as to render it
totally unfit for drinking pur-
poses. People drink so little
water in Europe that no one pays
much attention to this branch of
sanitation, and no attempt was
made by the authorities to rene
dy the shocking condition of the
quality of the water supplied to
Dublin, until the leading dlstil-
lers of the metropolis officially
complained that it was too pois-
onous and polluted even to be
used for the manufacture of
whiskey. That of course, ap-
pealed to the authorities, and
steps were at once taken to
remedy the matter.

In his readable book, 1.-The
Land of the Dollar Mr.. G. w.
Stevens has this to say of the
City of Homes Here is the
purest Anglo.Saxon citizen body
among all the large centres.
Here is less luxury than else.
kwhere, but more comfort, and
comfort extending deeper down.
New York is a city of offices and
palaces Boston of Parks and
villas Washington of public
buildings and houses to let for
the season. Philadelphia is a
city of homes. OF it's two humid
red thousand families it has been
estimated that seven eighths live
in self-contained houses. who
elsewhere would be in flats or
ltenements, and that three.quart-
ers OF these own the houses they
live in.
"After the others Philadelphia
strikes you as beyond all things
a civilized city-a city where peo-
pie sometimes have a little
leisure. Elsewhere they do
business or seek pleasure here
they live. The very names of
the streets Chestnut, Walnut.
Vine, Spruce, Pine-have a
fresh and wholesome breath
about them. 1t may be fancy.
but the women here seem pref
tier, and the men better set-up.
The New Yorker takes a tram
car to go a quarter of mile and
grows fat here the physical
type is more athletic. The richer
lPhiladelphians live out in the
country and ride to mounds the
poorer ride a bicycle. The typ.
icai American woman's face,
long, thin, pale, pure. eyed, like
an early Italian Madonna, is here
richer and less austre. Middle
class you may call. the place,
with its endless rows of sober
red bricks, but middle-class with
little of dowdiness and much of
rational stability. If there are
few notable buildings there are
few slums. If few people are
very prosperous, few are very
wretched. In turn the Phila-
delphians getmore happiness out
of their city than any other towns

II is too often true OF the un-
happy children who are forced to
rise too early in their classes that
they are conceited all the fore
noon of life and stupid all its
afternoon. The vigor and fresh
ness which should have been
stored up for thepurposes of the
hard struggle for existence in
practical life have oeen washed
out of them by precocious mental
debauchery-by book gluttony
and lesson bibbing. Their facul-
ties are worn out by the strain
put upon their callow brains and
they are demoralized by worth
less childish triumphs before the
real work of life begins. l have
no compassion for sloth, but
youth has more need for intellec-
tual rest than age, and the cheer
fitness, the tenacitY of purpose.
the power of work, which make
many a successful man what he
is, must often be placed to the
credit not of his hours of indus
try, but to that of his hours of
idleness in boyhood. -Hurley.
Rousseau dwells strongly upon
the facts that a weak body in a
child enfeebles the soul, that the
education of man begins at his
birth. that simplicity in diet is an
absolute necessity for sound
physical growth, and the most
dangerous period in human life
is the interval between birth and
the age of twelve.

William j. Bryan arrived in
Washington Tuesday afternoon
and paid a visit to the House Of
Representatives. He had the
privilege of entrance upon the
floor as an ex.member. His alp.
pearance evoked applause frpm
many members. From his pld
seat, he responded to the greet
ings of his friends and acquhint-
ances, his face beaming with
smiles. Among those who shook
his hand we're Gen. Grosve4or,
Republican, of Ohio. one Of dthe
most prominent Republicans who
extended a welcome to the late
Democratic leader. Before lehy-
ing the hall Mr.. Bryan paid his
respects to Speaker Reed.

some time Sunday. This plucky
salesman was caught there
by tie floods and finding he Gould
not make his territory by trains
decided TODD it in this unique
way. He said he would float
with the strong current and
make ten miles an hour. Such
pluck as this deserves recogni-
ton from his employers in the
shape of asubstantial increase OF
salary.

here for a train east half hour

Greece has stepped in where
the Powers fear to tread. There

First the European powers

The second thought appears to

One enthusiastic legislator

According to the programme
the defeated popocratic candidate

on the former and for the latter.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia,

arbitration treaty as a great vic

Mr.. Samuel II. Howe, of Bos-

"Wayside Inn" at Sudbury,
Mass. and will convert 1t into a

Longfellow wrote the Tales. Mr..

Kansas genius finds new
