rHtered water Ns. Typhoid Fever
The filtration of the water supply of
cities by means Of sand filter beds or
mechanical contrivances has rapidly
advanced in this country during the
past ten years, but it is far more gen
eral in Great Britain than here. Mr..
Allen Hazen, an authority on sanitary
engineering, evers that the fact is fully
established that the death rate from
typhoid fever is materially lowered by
the filtration of the water supply. In
Great Britain cities containing an ag-
gregate population of more than TO-
o00,ceo people use a Sand-filtered wafer
supply, and the result, it is claimed,
is shown in London's freedom from
typhoid In this country only one-tenth
of the towns and cities have filtered
water.-Youth's Companion.

CHURCH AND CLERGY.


Theodore Roosevelt belongs to the
Dutch Reformed church.
Under the leadership of Rabbi III. L..
Mayer, the Jewish charity organiza-
lions of Kansas City are to be federated
and home for the aged erected.
Bishop McCabe, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, proves from actual
figures that the average travelling ex-
penses of each bishop for year are
only S4s3.
The people OF Northampton, Mass,
have made atonement for a wrong they
did $50 years ago in dismissing Rev.
Jonathan Edwards from the pastorate
OF the First Church of Christ. They
have erected tablet in bronze repre-
senting DR.. Edwards addressing his
people. It is two thirds life size.
The London Church Missionary soci-
ETY. has been able to use the phono-
graph for a practical purpose. The
Lords Prayer, the creed and the,
ten commandments, together with
lumber of sentences in Hosea, have
been spoken into the photograph, so
that colleague who was beginning to
learn the language might hear the pro-
nuneiation. This method of language
learning seems capable of wide adapta-
ton.
There is now a clergyman of the
Church of England who has married
his deceased wife's sister, in spite of all
the prelates of the house of lords who
vote consistently against any recogri-
ton of the practice. The name of this
innoFator is Rev. George Poynder. and
he is n priest of the diocese of Mel
bourne. His bishop, DR.. Goe, formerly
rector of ST. Georges, Bloomsbury, has
suspended him for II months. This ap-
parently is only formal tribute to the
conventional church feeling on the sub
ject; as there is an understanding that
hewillreceivea new appoin tmentin the
diocese at the expiration of his extend
ed honeymoon.

BUBBLES.

| stood on the brink In childhood,
And watched the bubbles go
From the rock -fretted. sunny ripple
To the smoother tide below.
And over the white creek bottom,
Under them every one,
Went golden stars in the water,
All luminous with the sun.
But the bubbles broke on the surface,
And under. the stars of gold
Broke and the hurrying water
Flowed onward. swift and cold.
II.
I stood on the brink In manhood.
And it came to my weary brain,
And my heart so duh and heavy
After the years OF pain
That every hollowest bubble
Which over my life had passed
Still in it's deeper current
Some heavenly gleam had cast;
That. however I Knocked il gayly.
And guessed a its hollOwness.
Still shOne with each bursting bubble,
One star in my soul the less.
