MONIES AND pRAuGHTING.


Young married women in this city

an uncommon sight to see three or foW
of them carrying their outfits along the

Simple Test of Drinking Water.

Here is simple test for the pres
ence OF sewage water, says the New
York Herald.. All drinking water
should be tested in town or country
frequently, as there are other lmpuri-
ties besides sewage which are quite
as deadly, and every cistern OF water
is liable to be source of blood pois-
oning. 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 a decomposed
state.
To detect this impure condition is
very simple and 'unfailing. Draw a
tumbler of water from the tap at
night, put a piece of white lump su-
gar into it and place it on the kitchen
mantel shelf, or anywhere that the
temperature will not be under 50 de-
grees fahrenheit.
In the morning the water, if pure,
will be perfectly clear; If contami
mated with sewage, or other impuri-
ties, the water will be milky. This is
a simple and safe test we'll known in
chemistry.

was a fortress. With its guns he could
have driven the United States army

Yellow fever might have come and
decimated the American ranks. A gale

after which Cervera could have sailed
away without opposition and returned
to his native land undefeated."

of its opportune completion just at Q
