simple Test of Drinking water

Here is a simple test for the presence
of sewage in water. All drinking wa
ter should be tested in town or country
frequently, as there are other impure
ties besides sewage which are quite as
deadly, and every cistern of water is
liable to be a source of blood poisoning.
Mice, rats and other pests must have
water, and many case of typhoid is
set UP by such as these falling into the
cistern and remaining there for months
in decomposed state.
To detect this impure condition Is
very simple and unfailing. Draw a
tumbler of water from Inc tap at night,
put piece of white lump sugar into it
and place it on the kitchen mantel
shelf or anywhere that the temperature
will not be under so degrees Fahren-
heit.
In the morning the water, if pure,
will be perfectly clear; if contaminated
by sewage or other impurities the wa
ter will be milky. This is a simple
and safe test well known in chemis-

And, o! for the souls of the Purified"

1t was quite society romance. They
tell it yet in st. Louis, how the wealthy
middle-aged Peter Dunlap fell in love
at first sight with his first cousin on
his mothers side, and how she, though
less than half his age. returned his af-

The wedding was a pretty one and
Mrs. Dunlap, nee Sweet, was quite an
imposing parsonage in her long veil,
her diamond tiara, and her magnificent
silk dress, the first of which was loan
ed her by the wife of the Admiral, who
said that all of the brides of the house
of Dunlap had worn that veil.

The Admiral's wife said to her BROTH
er. "Of course l shall invite her to
come for a long stay. She must make
her home with us, the poor little thing,
for she says she is only nineteen, and
next winter. if she is pretty and pre-
sentable, shall bring her out. l should
