take oath of office again except J. F.

There is a great political pressure brought
to bear on the new official to use the polit-

more heads will fall. At present the maxi

Softness Of Rain Water

Rain is soft because 1t is not impreg-
mated with earths and minerals. 1t Is
more easy to wash with soft water than
with hard, because soft water unites
freely with soap and dissolves it instead of
decomposing it as hard water does. Wood
ashes make hard water soft because the
carbonic acid combines with the sulphate
of lime in the hard water and converts it
into chalk and wood ashes convert some
of the soluble salts of water into insoluble,
and throw them down as sediment in
consequence of which the water remains
more pure.
