Contamination of Water.

Water is contaminated by lead pipes, through the joint action of the oxygen of the air and carbonie acid, but this action is greatly retarded if the water contains bfcarbonate of lime This how ever, does not entirely prevent the dis solving of lead The quantity of lead taken up while the water is in active circulation is extremely small, but it is liable to become very noticeable in wa ter that has stood in pipes all night, and to ensure complete freedom from lead it is recommended that carbonate of soda be used, in quantity sufficient to fix the eaFbonfe acid without render- ing the water alkaline.

In following recipes for the canning and preserving of fruit it should be re- membered that quart of fruit must be measured in a quart measure, not in the tradesmen's baskets, which vary in size, but are never a full scriptural quart.

 Is Coaxed to Hatch the Brood.

 Is Coaxed to Hatch the Brood.
 Under the trellised porch of a cottage was a martins nest, which was re- paired every season for at least three seasons, and from which brood of four or five young birds took their flight year by year. The porch was coY- cred with zinc, and the nest was built against the wall, close to the angle formed by the sIanting sides of the roof.
 One morning, before the brood was matched, one of the old birds was found in the porch dead, owing probably to the unusual heat of the sun shining upon the zinc covering, which was only a few inches above the nest. Opposite the porch and separated from it by the width of the garden walk, was an arch of wire covered with roses and honey suckles.
 About II o'clock in the morning the day when the bird had been found dead, an unusual twittering was heard, and a martin, presumed to be the male bird, was observed flying in and out of the porch onto the arch, and evidently endeavorfng to coax another bird into his snug quarters.
 After while the second martin took several short flights, and dived under the porch with her companion, who twittered and flew around her in a state of the greatest excitement.
 This continued for about half an hour, until the stranger took possession of the nest, where she finally matched the brood.

THE GIANT EMU.
tralIn's Big Bird and Its
Beautiful Eggs.

Australla's largest bird is still plenti-
full in many parts of the country,
though there are places where the emus
have been so mercilessly killed that
the Legislature has stepped in to pro-
tect them. In New South Wales, a
few years ago, an act was passed making
1t illegal to kill the bird or to take It's
eggs, under penalty of $3.50 per egg,
for period which ended last year; in
Queensland the emu evidently stood
in no danger of complete destruction,
for in 1895 Sydney paper stated that
one boundary-rider on o sheep farm
near Brisbane collected in single sea-
son upwards of 1923 eggs, which were
sold in Brisbane at IS cents apiece. In
former days the "black fellow" and
q wild dog were the emu's worst enc
mics; in more recent times the bird
has suffered at the hands Of the white
man, who hunts 1t for sport with
kangaroo dogs, fast and powerful
cross between the mastiff and grey
hound, or shoots it to save his wire
boundary fences, which suffer serious
ly when so heavy and swift bird runs
up against them at full speed. Unlike
its African cousin, the ostrich, the emu
has no value as feather-producing
bird, though its beautiful eggs, dark
green In color and rough of surface,
are much in request to be mounted
as vases and similar ornaments.
Emus are generally seen In pairs,
and throng the great plains on whose
grass they chiefly live, They nest dur
ing the Australian winter, in May and
June. They have finer Ideas on the sub
feet of nesting than the ostrich, who
is content to lay her eggs in q scrap
Ing in the sand; the emu chooses 8

here collects a bed of leaves, grass or
bark. There is touch of originality
about this nest; 1t Is quite fiat, only

to be convenient, often stripping the
bark from the tree near which she has
selected her site, and using that for
the purpose. On this bed the hen lays
her eggs, arranging them SO that their
length lies with the length of the oval
nest. She may lay as many as 18 eggs,
but this number is unusual, the average
clutch" being only nine; the duty of
Matching the eggs is undertaken entire
~ by the male, who has to devote eight
weeks to the business. The birds habit
of laying in the winter is, no doubt,
to be explained by the needs of the
chicks; these, appearing IN the carly
spring, then find awaiting them in
abundance the tender heritage on which
they live. The plumage of the chick is
curiously unlike that of the old bird;
the latter is brown, whereas the little
one is grayish-white, barred lengthwise
with broad black stripes; it is, how
ever, not long before it assumes the
dress of the full-grown bird.-Detroit

els this the place where you tie up
ships?" asked tarTy young man,
broaching into the office of the United
States district attorney.
"Do you see any vessels moored
here?" one of the dippant attaches re-
piled, whereat the seaman blushed dim
~ beneath his tan.
"Wot want is to libel an old hooker

gazed about for sympathy. THE grub
schedule provided by law called for
split pea soup twice q week, and the
blasted old Scotch villain served out
whole peas instead. That's why want
the law on him."
Having made his case clear the abused
seaman swore to the complaint, and a
brand new deputy United States mar
shall was sent to the vessel. This dep
uty had never performed this office,
but armed with the writ, small ham
mer and some tacks, he set off to post
the document. He found the Dirtysides
lying head on In her slip and climbed
clumsily over the side. Half q dozen

top and there you are"
Thank you, sir"
Don't mention II, but let me tell you,
young Teller" (there was note of SOL
emn warning in the shippers tones)
You'll never live to tack no notice on
my mainmast."
The awful import Of the ak, the sui
len squad with dirlts, and the menacing
attitude Of Capt. Pelter burst upon the
deputy and his life blood grew chill.
They knew beforehand of the action
against the vessel. and had prepared
for murder.
"Sir," said the deputy, shaking as
with palsy. don't you know that l rep
resent the law of the United States?"
81 don't care bloater what you rep

shifty eye upon that imposing rep
resentative. only mind what tell
you"
do you mean to interfere with the
majesty of the law?"
I'm not saying what mean to do.
lIeave ahead with the job. That's

Getting himself together with an
abortive display OF nerve, the deputy
staggered across to the main shroudS>
1t wouldn't do to back down as long
as no actual violence had been offered.
The scrapers remained at work, the
mate leaned thoughtfully on his ok,
and the skipper pared an opalescent
crescent from his left thumb. Encour-
aged by these apparently peaceful avo-
cations. the deputy started up the rig
ging. 1t then occurred to him that tho
buccaneers might plant u shower OF
knives between his ribs, for he had read
in youth of certain pirates wonderfully
dexterous in the dirk-throwing art. To
gain the top, shield his body above the
wooden platform and call for help was
his only salvation.
Maryeling to find himself still alive,
the deputy scrambled over the rim.
There a daredevil desire to perform his
duty in the face of death possessed him.
Turning down the corners Of the notice
he placed it against the mast, filled his
mouth with tacks and pulled out the lit
tie hammer. As he drove the first tack
thesharp end doubled back and emerged
close to the point Of entrance.
"Devilish hard wood" he said to him
self, in a sort OF wild delirium.

When the deputy reached the deck he
Imply approached the skipper and
looked at the feet of that master mari
ner.
Got any poste?" he inquired, des-
perately.
"No, I haven't" Capt. Pelter said,
kindly, "but the cook'll mix some -four
