Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain greater
or less amount of mineral matter in
solution. Rain water has the smallest
percentage of solid impurities of any,
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety of soft water.
The terms soft and hard, however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considerd purely relative.
Water is usually reckoned to be
"soft" when it contains less than one
five-thousandth part of its weight of
mineral ingredients and "hard' when
it contains more than one four-thou-
sandth.
Soft water has the property Of easily
forming a lather with soap and is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses, while hard water will only
form a lather, and that imperfec,ly.
with considerable difficulty.
A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth Of its weight of natur-
al dissolved solids, and 4 medicinal
water is a variety Of mineral water
containing q varying percentage Of
dissolved natural solid or gaseous
drugs.

Fattening Prospectlye Wives.

Like the Turks and many other
dwellers in oriental lands, the Moors
prefer "moon-faced" wives rather
than lean ones, and are more solicitous
as to the number Of pounds which
their brides weigh than about the
stock of accomplishments they pos
sess. A girl is put under the process
of fattening when she is about twelve
years of age. Her hands are tied
behind her. and she is seated on a
carpet during so many hours every
day, while her papa" stands over her
with a matraque, or big stick, and her
mother at times pops into her mouth
ball of couscoussou, or stiff maize
porridge (kneaded up with grease. and
just enough to be swallowed without
the patient choking.) If the unfortun-
ate victim declines to be stuffed she
is compelled, so that ere long the poor
girl resigns herself to the torture and
gulps down the boluses to avoid being
peaten.-Tit-Bits.

FOLLOWING out the brief statement
l made when taking the oath that l
would follow the administrative lines
laid down by President Mckinley, l
requested the members of the Cabinet
who were present to remain IN their
places at least for the present. They
have assured me that they will. and l
may say that l have assurances also
from the absent members"
Inquiry was made of the President
as to whether an extra session Of Con-

and that after consultation with the
Cabinet members they had decided
that no such extra session would be
called.
