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 il 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 oc
soft" when IL contains less than one
fivc-thousandth part Of it's weight of
mineral ingredients and hard" when
IL 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 lather, and that imperfcctly.

A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth OF it's weight of natur-
nj dissolved solids, and medicinal
water Is variety of mineral water

The woman who is always stumbling

day which she declares wounded her

shook her faith in an ancient institu-
tion. She was detained on the top
floor Of a big Out-of-town store until
the crowding Of the elevators with the
employees made her prefer to find her
way out by the stairway. one OF the
floors Of the building seemed, she
says, 10 be devoted solely to the stor-
Ing Of goods, and as she passed by the
open door Of one of the rooms on this
floor her attention was attracted by
hearing mans voice eXclaim in tones
Of satisfaction: There. they wouldn't
take 'em nice and fresh. Let's see If
they'll take 'em this way" Through
the open door the astonished shopper
saw a member Of the firm Industrious
