"A little less. than two years ago a rich
grain merchant of Odessa died, leaving a
fortune of 100000 rubles to his three
daughters, under peculiar conditions. They
were only to inherit the money on condi-
ton that they became servants washer
women or farmworkers for eighteen
months. The time has just passed. and
the young women have come into their
fortune. Two of them were chamber
maids. and the third a girl of all work,
in Odessa houses. They did not have much
trouble in securing situations. In The
course of their servitude the two younger
daughters received each more than five
hundred proposals of marriage and the
eldest four hundred and fifty. They de
clined all, and now assert that they win

The work of restoring the famous spire
and turrets of Salisbury Cathedral, Eng
land, which has been in progress during
the past two years. is now almost COM
pleted, and it is expected that the scat
folding will soon be removed. The work
has been carried out under the direction
of Sir A. Bloomfield, and in a recent re-
port TO the special committee he informed
them that the turret at the northwest of
the Cathedral was in such bad state
that it was necessary to take it down
It mas now been rebuilt. The work Sir A.
Blomf1eld said, was one of great difficulty
but has been accomplished in the most
wor1manlike and satisfactory manner
Every stone that could be reused appears
again in its proper place, new stones be-
ing introduced only where the originaf
stone-work had been crushed broken or
composed of such small stones as TO be
unsafe. The turret stair cases at the four
angles OF the tower. which have to sup
port so much of the enormous thrust of
the spire, have been Thoroughly repaired
and strengthened. On all four sides defect

placed Dy new stones weighing in soma
cases more than ton. The foundations
OF the south aisle and of the west side
of the south transept have yet to be re.

will be about $4,000, a sum which the
dean and chapter are securing with dim

about 1850, and contributions to that
amount are awaited with some anxiety.

is constant supply of this fluid. saws the
Youths Companion Many people have a
notion that the drinking of water in any
amount beyond that actually necessary to
quench thirst is injurious. and. acting on
this belief. they endeavor to drink as lit
tie as possible. The notion, however is
wide of the truth. Drinking freely of
pure wafer is a most efficacious means nor
only OF preserving health, but often of re-
storing it when failing. All the tissues
OF the body need water, and water in
abundance is necessary also for the proper
performance of every vital function
Cleanliness of the tissues within the body
is as necessary to health and comfort as
cleanliness Of the skin, and water tends
