simple New Way to Get Pure Water


 Uncomfortable consequences may follow the use of the best of water by persons who are not accustomed to it, as we all know from experience in changing our usual daily beverage. This matter is quite an important one now when so many persons are going from the Croton water and drinking from strange streams, lakes, wells or springs, and it behooves them to guard against the evil effects of the change as far as possible. From the domestic science department of the Boston institute comes q recon mendation O. a simple and efficient way of preventing trouble from change of water. It is to carry small phial of the crystals of perman- ganate of potash with you, and to put one of the pieces in each glass of wa ter that you drink. It will turn the water a slight pinkish tinge, and, ac- cording to the authority, make it a sa1e beverage for strange stomachs. IN. Y. Herald.

MUcH-covETED POSITIONS.
There Is Always a Big Rush to Se- cure Places as Croupiers
 at Monte Carlo.

The other day the Casino at Monte Carlo found itself in need of ten new croupiers. Six of the vacancies were caused by dismissals-some for fraud, others for excessive frivolity in con nectlon with the fair sex. For the ten vacancies no fewer than 1,500 persons applied Of these 22S were selected for examination, 102 of whom failed to satisfy the doctors. The remaining 126 were then put to an examination as regards education, chiefly arithmetical. Of the ten ulti- mately successful five were Corsicans, the rest French and of other na- tionalities.
 The successful applicants will att tend "schooT' for six months before they will be allowed to work at the public tables-a professor" teaching the whole art and mystery of croup- ing. While at school they receive 150 francs per month, which is in creased to 200 francs on promotion to the tables. After that the annual increases are considerable, to say nothing of various additional adyan- tages, such as free medical attend ance and Respectable pensions. A croupier, in fact, not only starts very well, but with a capital vista of pro- motion and prosperity, says the Paris Messenger.
 Many of the most prosperous tradesmen and business people at Monte Carlo are, or have been, croupiers-starting in business with the savings from their salaries. Lord Salisbury's agent at Beaulieu. for in- stance, is an inspector at the Casino, and one of the ablest and most courteous business men on. the whole

There are more newspapers pub lished in Iowa, in proportion to the population, than in any other state of the union.

tel national friction of any kind. The
congratulations We're premature Fri
day night. the Leanders gave dinner
to the Pennsylvanians. All the promi-
nent rowing authorities were present.
The speeches teemed with compli-
ments. The British said they had never
met better or more sportsmanlike
crew. The Pennsylvanians replied that
they had never been more fairly and
squarely beaten. The only explanation
was that the Leanders were a better
crew.
The speeches We're all of this tenor
till one of the American crew said he
wished to say that their treatment at
Henley was splendid. They had found
all the arrangements for the races per-
