Aluminium and water.

The fact is demonstrated that alu-
minimum is as excellent purifier of wa
ter as there is. The salts Of this metal
it is plain that when these salts are
formed the water can be strained and
the impurities removed therefrom. Per-
haps the most practicable method of puri-
flying water by this means is the trough
method, as it is called, the trough be-
ing composed of plates Of aluminium
and zinc or iron, six or eight inches
apart One end of the tank affords an
entrance for the volume of water which
passes over the top Of one plate and
thence under the plate next to it, this
being accomplished by the fact that the
elevation of the several plates is differ
ent In connection with this tank or
trough there is an electrical generator
of moderate size, and, though Alumni
um will not form the negative pole of
a current, the other plates used will.
Now, as it is always the case that when
an electric current comes in contact
with water in this manner it decom-
poses certain portion of the fluid, as
it were, the result of such decomposi-
ton is that ozone is formed and oxygen
freed-the meaning of this being the alb
solute extinction of life in any microbes

Out at Calvary is monument maker
who has grown wise, and this is the
way it happened:
He is an economical man and attends
to business. He used to receive all call
ers and show them about the place. II
two prospective patrons came together,
he saved time by showing them around
together, pointing out the sorrow en-
during qualities Of certain stones, the
tear compelling possibilities of certain
designs and the grief assuaging merits
of the price. One day man came and
looked over the place for monument
sufficiently eloquent as marker for
wife deceased. He came very near buy
ing a beautiful shaft on an expensive
base. with a world of chiseling about
it. He said he would come out next day
and decide.
Next day he came; also came wild
ow who had about given definite or
der for towering monument for the
most mourned of husbands. The mon
ument man saved time and conducted
the two around together. They looked
at the things already all but ordered.
Then they waited and desired to look
farther. Then they dawdled and talked
good deal to each other. Then they
went away on the same train. In day
or two they came back together, picked
out one monument for the two deceased
worthies-a rather modest double head
er, by the way-and told the stone man
they had concluded to get married and
to use the money they saved in furnish
ing fiat.
Now the stone man has helper, and
bereaved men are never allowed to in
spect the place in company with bereav-
ed women. Chicago Post.

Corsican Ways.

An enemy in Corsica has thousand in
genious little ways by which he can put a
spoke in neighbours wheel. Why, a
mere "accidcnt" In telling a tree may
close the road in front of your wagon for
hours and make all your early vegetables
late for the biweekly market boat, or a
mysterious hole in new fence may let
a whole flock of Sheep into your young
clover, or the well may be suddenly "be-
witched, with sickly consequences TO man
and beast! A resolute new proprietor
might declare he would 'stand no non
sense; such accidents should not occur
twice to him" and so forth. But surely
prevention is a thousand times better than
cure in matters less serious than feuds be-
tween country neighbors!
Seventeen years ago foreign proprietor
took up some of the Campo di- loro-the
best land near Ajaccio He engaged a
Swiss farmer to come with herds and a
staff and supply him with milk and but
ter. Cows milk is still rare in the island.
But when everything was in train for the
arrival of the Swiss farmer, his family,
laborers and cattle, certain Corsican well
wishers of the foreign reformer came to
him and said, "Put it to yourself, would
you feel happy if the mans hay barns
were burned, if his house was pulled down
about his ears, If he lost his life?" And
the well wishers were able TO convince the
foreigner that there was real danger of
such acts of violence. He countermanded
all his arrangements, and in course of
time was thankful to get pretty good
milk from the farm of local magnate
whose property is now fairly well man
aged. -Gentleman' Magazine.

"Why are You yawning, Milly?" ask
ed the minister. docs not your father
say graoe?"
"Oh, yes" answered Milly prompt
ly, "but it isn't SO long as that.
"And what does he say?" pursued the
clergyman, hoping to obtain text for
a little homily.
"He says different things, but last
time when he sat down he took off the
cover and said Great snakesi Do you

W. W. Perkins. prominent lawyer
Of Macon, Ca, with his father and
few friends, went TO Ossabaw island, off
the Georgia coast, recently for a weeks
hunt Several days later they started
up the coast in an open sloop rugged
boat
Just before nightfall a violent squall
carried them 20 miles out to sea and
disabled the boat. The seas ran high
and the frail craft tossed about, threat
ening every moment to capsize. AS the
sea grew rougher the boat shipped more
and more water. Mr.. Perkins, Jr., be-
lieving that it would soon go under,
seized a beer keg and leaped overheard.
He was Of course soon separated from
the boat.
All through the darkness of that
night he drifted, with no knowledge of
the direction in which he was going.
Buffeted by the waves and chilled by
the icy winds, he chung to the keg as
his sole hope.
AS day began to dawn Mr.. Perkins
saw that he was approaching shore, and
soon, to his great JOY, his feet touched
ground. He was still quarter of a
mile from shore, but after a time he
was enabled to reach it. He could not
tell whether he was on an island or on
the mainland. Fully satisfied that he
was the only survivor of the party he
walked down the beach seeking hu
man habitation.
The remainder of the party stuck to
the boat and managed to reach shore
about o'clock that night. They of
course gave up Mr.. Perkins as drowned
and sat all night grieving over his loss
and marveling at their own escape. Mr..
Perkins, ST., had gathered together from
the boat the effects of his lost son to
preserve them as mementos when they
saw Mr.. Perkins, Jr., making his painful
way toward them. New York World.
