WHAT TO DRINK.

The residents OF a city in the northern part OF
the State are dismayed by the conflicting advice
given by the various physicians Of the place re-
garding the drinking water. Some Of the doctors
declare that not a drop Of the river water which
furnishes the city SUPPLY should be drunk without
long and vigorous boiling. while others affirm that
OF all the unwholesome and injurious beverages
boiled is the very worst. The fact. they,
that fish will not live in II proves it beyond
doubt.
Then there others who believe that no river
water all should be used, but that the sparkling
spring which be bought by the deni-
john. is the only water In the city that IS really
At drink. Al this another class holds up It's

About as many more half-armed men.
Here are our fellows with the new

He himself carried everything he
could find, and he hardly looked over
the ridge until he heard the sound of a
bugle, followed by scattering rifle re-
ports.
"Guess they're comingl" he shouted,
and he climbed rock to see.
Beyond the ridge was ragged bushy
slope of erumbling slaty shale, upon
which there were not many large trees.
1t gave good opportunity, apparently,
for the forward movement of a body
of disciplined soldiers. They were
coming up the slope now, two regi-
ments of them, and certainly they
moved well. Their uniforms had a
bright, new look. Their FURNISHED
bayonets glittered in the sunshine.
They were in every way a strong con-
trast to the ragged rebels, in no uni
forms at all, less than half their num-
bers, who now crouched behind the
frail barrier of the hasty breastworlx
on the ridge, or behind the rocks and
trees.

Up to that moment the eubans had
