Rolled Water and Impurities.

1t is generally believed that the most
impure water can be rendered pure by
boiling and that in this we have an abso-
Lutte safeguard against the dangers of wa
ter containing disease germs. Now, while
it is true that boiling will kill the germs
of disease, yet the fact has been brought to
our notice by SO high an authority as DE-.
Charles M. Cresson that, while boiling
kills the germs of particular disease 1t
yet in reality renders the water more i'm
pure than it was before, because by the
very death of these germs dead organic
matter is allowed to remain in the water,
which it pollutes by putrefaction. Hence
while boiling is most excellent precau-
ton against the occurrence OF typhoid
fever or similar diseases when we have oo-
casion to think the germs Of these diseases
exist in the water that we drink, yet we
must remember that this boiling does not
purify the water 1t simply removes from
1t the specific power to produce specific
disease. -Philadelphia American.

How IL Happeued.

A good anecdote is told of an ambitious
gentleman who rather indiscreetly set him
self up as a candidate for some office, and
who after the election was over, was found
to have received only one vote. The candi-
dates modification was extreme, and to
increase his chagrin all his neighbors talk
cd as IL it were matter of course that he
had given that one vote himself
This annoyed him so much that he Of
fered 80 shilling suit of clothes to the
one voter il he would declare himself. An
Irishman responded to this appeal, proved
his claim and called for the reward.
"How did it happenY" inquired the can
iidate, taken quite by surprise. How did
1t happen that you voted for meS"
The son of Erin hesitated, but on being
pressed he said, "lf tell yez, yez don't go
back on the clothesY"
"Oh, no promise you that you shall
