Science and Sentiment.
A Miracle OF Science, Matched by
a Miracle OF Love.

Some time since the newspapers told
a thrilling story of a devoted husband
who had poured the life blood from
his veins into the wasted body of his
wife, The one thing which would save
her was blood--good. red blood. Her
condition was such that her stomach
and digestive and nutritive system
failed in extracting from the food she
ate the necessary blood supply. SO new
blood was introduced into her veins
by TRANSMISSION direct from her hus-
bands body, and with the new blood
came new life.
1t is, perhaps, not unnatural that in
the popular view of such case the
sentimental features should entirely
outweigh the scientific interest which

WATER TALK.
No Problem Ever Excited Such Gen.
eral Interest in This City.

The rise in water rates in this city
due to the control of the Consolidated
Water Supply company is exciting
more interest than any problem which
has commanded public attention in
years. Everybody is talking water and
talking it with a zeal that will accom-
plish something.
Municipal ownership, a new corpora
tion and appeal to the courts for pro-
lection are hOpedfor remedies which
are being turned over in the minds of
consumers. The difficulty in the way
of the first is lack of legal right to
bond the city sufficiently in the Sec
ond the danger that the OCtQpus will
tenderly embrace and absorb the in
fant which presumes to compete and
in the third, favorable results are by
no means promising enough to inspire
a "downtrodden public" with much
hope.
But with 999 persons out of every
1000, of a 10000 population, talking
water, eating, drinking, sleeping and
living water, some plan may be
evolved to drown the Unsuitable octo-
pus.
The mayor and councils will voice
their sentiments next Monday night.

plantation heard that he was gone they
would not do a stroke of work How was

much thought an idea struck him. Going
up TO the men, he addressed them thus:
Although I myself will be absent. vet I
shall leave one of my eyes to see that YOU

and bewildermeut of the natives he took
out the glass eye and placed it on the
stump of a tree and left. For some time

divorce can either side appeal from such
a verdict?
Mr.. Inderwick replied that there was a
case which decided the question in his
favor.

was a junior, old Philbrick and myself
were engaged in a case-an action ON a
bill-and we agreed to take the verdict
of the majority. 1t turned out to be in
my favor. But the other side appealed.
The case came on before Cockburn, and
he dismissed the appeal, but told US to
come round to his private house in Park
