The Water we nrinI..

There are certain diseases caused by
water, such as goiter. so common in,
Switzerland, which is said to be the re-
suit of the drinking of snow water. Chol-
era is also the result of the drinking of
poisoned water, and epidemics of typhoid
are directly referable to an impure water
supply. Some Of the gravest epidemics
of typhoid in this country and in Europe
have been directly traceable to the infec-
ton of a single case, the excreta from
which found it's way into the stream
from which cities and towns took their
drinking water.
How important, then, that care should
be taken to secure the water fer family
use from a pure source of supply, or, If
that cannot be satisfactorily accomplish
ed, then to have apparatus at hand for
filtering after boiling! The domestic
filters seem to me seldom entirely salts
factory for the reason that people are O
little careless in cleaning the debris from
the strainers and also because, with in
finite faith in the value of the apparatus
the housekeeper fails to order the water
boiled.J To be sure, cooked impurities
are none the less impure, but at least the
vitality Of the organisms in the water
have been destroyed and germs rendered
no longer able to create havoc in the hui
man body.-Dr. Julia Holmes Smith in
Pilgrim.

Useful Things to Know.

Ice cream is said to be an infallible
remedy for hiccoughs.
A writer in one of the scientific period
icals recommends walking backward as
a cure for nervous headache.
A convenient substitute for a cork
screw when the latter is not at hand may
be found in the use of a common screw,
with an attached string to pull the cork.
For bee stings salt at all times is a
good cure. Sweet oil, pounded mallows
or onions, powdered chalk made into a
paste with water or weak ammonia are
/. also eflicacious.
To drive out the mosquito Consul Plu-
macher of Maracaibo advises the plant
ing of castor oil beans in yards and
about buildings. He says he knows from
personal experience that where the cas-
tor oil bean grows no mosquito or Other
\blood sucking insect will abide.
The common strawberry is natural
dentfrice. It's juice, without any prep
aration, dissolves the tartarous incrusta
tons on the teeth and also makes the
breath sweet and agreeable.
To polish wood take a piece of pumict
stone and water and pass regularly ovel
the wood until the rising of the grain il
cut down. Then take powdered tripod
and boiled linseed oil and polish to {

average intelligence signaled the motor

Knowing How to Dress.

4 A few years ago a well known teacher
who had founded and carried on for
many years Il successful school for girls
in one of the middle states decided to re-
tire. She looked about for a successor.
Many candidates were brought to her
notice. The place was an important one.
The emoluments were large, no school
stood higher in the esteem of the public,
and Mrs. Blank was anxious to find just
the right woman for the position.
At last a lady offered to take the school
who apparently had every qualification
to carry it on with distinction. She was
one of the most learned women in the
country, she spoke a half dozen Ian
guages and was witty and wise in them
all. She had long and successful rec
ord as an educator.
But Mrs. Blank, after a brief inter
view, declined to consider her as a can
didate and also refused to make known
at the time her reasons for this decision.
Years afterward she said to friend:
I "There was no doubt as to her scholar
|khip or her ability to teach, but her gloves
Iwere soiled and one shoe had lost half Of
1.-THE buttons. Trifes, you think, but they
betrayed qualities which made her unit

man, whatever her ability. who does not
respect herself enough to be clean and
neat will never command the respect of
others" -,
u The applicant never knew that her
slovenly glove and gaping shoe cost her
Ia position of ease and honor for life.
y A place of trust, with large salary,
was open to women in one of the public
departments in Washington several years
ago. One candidate brough the highest
recommendations, but was dismissed
promptly by the committee who had the
power of appointment. She was glar-
ingly dressed in the extreme of fashion,
with glttering jewels and nodding
plumes.
1--WE want a working woman, not a
cockatoo," said the chairman after the
absurdly dressed candidate had retired.
h Nothing shows sense or discretion more
accurately in men or women than the
way in which they dress. If they attach
lust the correct Importance to their coats
or gowns, they are likely also to estimate
the other factors of life at their just val
