Life bears us on like the stream
Of mighty river. Our boat at
first glides swiftly down the mar
row channel, through the playful
murmurings Of the little brook and
the windings Of its grassy borders;
the trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads, and the flowers
on the brink seem to offer them
selves to our young hands, we re-
)oice in hope, and grasp eagerly ut
the beauties around lis; but the
stream hurrcs us on, and still our
hands are empty.
Our course in youth and man.
hood is along wider and deeper
flood, and amid objects more strik
ing and magnificent. We are ami
mated by the moving picture of en-
joyment and industry that is pass
ing before us; we arc excited by
short-hvcd success, or depressed
and rendered miserable by some
short-livcd disappointment. But
our energy and dependence are
alike in vain. The stream bears
us on, and our joys and griefs arc
left behind us; we may be ship
wrecked, but we cannot anchor ;
our voyage may be fastened, but
cannot be delayed; whether rough
or smooth, the river hastcns toward
its home the roaring of the waves
is beneath Our keel, the land lessons
from our eyes, the floods are lifted
up around us, and we take our last
leave of earth and its inhabitants,
and of our future voyage there is no
witness save the Infinite and the
Eternal. Reginald Hebcr.

Testing Drinking Water.

The supply of drinking water
for the family should be tested at
least once year. Water that is
at one time pure and wholesome,
may become too impure for use,
yet it may be without color, and
have no odor or taste to show its
dangerous qualities.
"A simple test of drinking water
is the llcisch sewage test. Fill
clean pint bottle thrcc-quartcrs
full of water to be tested and dis
solve in it half II tcnspoonful Of
pure granulatcd sugar. Cork it
and set il in II warm place for two
days. If during this time it be-
comes cloudy or milky it is
unfit for domestic use. II
it remains perfectly clean
it is probably safe. BE careful
that the bottle is rs absolutely
tl'al aS you Sal make II ana
the sugar pure.
The second ,cst is also Il simple
one. Obtain from Il trustworthy
druggist about five cents worth ri
saturated solution Of prr,nauya-
nate of potassium. Add about
five drops Of this to Il pint bottle
Of water. This will turn the
water beautiful rose purple. II
there is any considerable amount
of organic matter, this color will
give place in the course Nt A few
hours to 4 more or less dirty rrN-
dish brown Ii the color rf the
water in the bottle rrmAilS for
twelve hours unchanged from the
rose purple hue it assumed when

was first added. il may I've cNu<iIHr-

the higher places and deposits the
earth thus collected in the lower places
or depressions. A comparatively level
field is thus reduced to a series of ia
bles called water levels. These tables
are then irrigated at intervals, as re-
quired, during the growing season, as
the water on ground thus prepared
may be made to flow even in drill
marks.
Undertaking is often a necessary
accompaniment which adds consider
ably to the expense, though, if proper
ly done on suitable soil, the resultant
crops may be doubled or even increaS-
ed threefOld.
Another great improvement in spe-
cific machinery is in facilities for han
ding the great American corn crop in
its varied branches, kinds and grades.
This has attained such degree of per-
lection that a crop that was once ma
nipulated entirely by manual labor is
now in some places never touched by
hand, from the planting of the seed to
the weighing of the yield.
1t would be difficult indeed to men
ton one item in a subject like this that
would be of more general interest than
others. The thousands, we might say
millions, who visit the Exposition must
each make their individual selection
and follow where their inclination
leads them. If they have time enough
at their disposal, they will, no doubt,
find what interests them most, and, no
matter what it is, they will find it
represented in a manner that is at once
comprehensive and valuable.

Life Is What We Make 1t.

"Ouc lives are what we make of them
ourselves" writes Edward Box in The
Ladies' Home Journal. eff we are
weak and accept the artificial, our lives
will be SO, and just in proportion as we
make our lives artificial we make them
proftless and unhappy. A happy life
cannot be lived in an atmosphere sur
charged with artificiality. That is i'm
possible. No hope is defeated unless
we defeat that hope ourselves; no life
is thwarted unless we thwart it's high
est fulfllment and development by our
own actions. 1t is with us, and with
us only, whether we allow the swift
currents of prevailing customs to make
our lives complex. They do unques-
tionably, and they are dwarfing the in
ner lives of thousands of women and
killing thousands of others. But it is
cowardly and unjust to lay the blame
and the responsibility upon those Gus
TOMS It is optional with us to accept
or reject them. There are certain So
cial laws which seem to make these
customs right, but every phase of
them wrong. There must be certain
laws and customs for the protection of
the social body. These are likewise
for our own individual protection and
are right, and ordinary common sense
teaches US what these are"
