DIED ON THE FOURTH.
Thraa residents Have Passed Away
ON the birthday of the
United states.

Three presidents of the United
States died on the Fourth of July,
two on it's fiftieth anniversary. One
was Thomas Jefferson, who so years
before had signed the Declaration of
independence, and John Adams, who
at the same time, had, after a three
DAYS debate, secured the adoption
of the Declaration. It might be taken
for granted that these two repre-
sentative men were warm personal
friends, even if history were silent
upon the subject, which it is not.
When Jefferson was dying on that
day which he had so signally helped
to distinguish, his friend was also
breathing his last. Adams did not
know of Jefferson's illness, and his
last words were: Thomas Jefferson
still survives" as if there was con-
ISOLATION in the thought. But his
friend had already passed from
earth.
President Monroe, whose famous
doctrine" has kept his memory
green. also died on the Fourth og
July (1s31). Of him Jefferson said:
"If his soul were turned inside out,
not a spot could be found on it,"
That Monroe, like his distinguished
friend and predecessor, should pass
away on the anniversary of the in
dependence of the country he served
so faithfully, is a touching coinci-
dence.

of the United States, Hannibal Ham
lin, closed his long career on the

A government monopoly and a fac

this establishment badges which are of

which is for the government officials;
second, paper badge, which is for the
gentry, and third, wooden badge, which
is for the common people. On these
badges are written the names of the
opium smokers, their ages, their ad-
dresses and the quantity of opium they
are allowed to buy daily, which is to be
decided and limited by the government
officials and which cannot be deviated
from at any time. The interest of
Americans for this news consists in
the fact that from the province of Flu
ken comes most of the Chinese of

ing the opium abuse in our new depen-
dencyshould be adopted by our govern

harmless even when taken in ton lots.

cussions in our oranges, labor organ

at this work for Is years. Its members
have become millionaires and multi
millionaires in the meantime. They
are interested in having the farmers
and w%orkingmen believe that all of our
prosperity, our good crops, our fertile
soil, are due to protection" They
know well that protection" enables
the trusts to skim the cream off our
prosperity and leaves only the
skinned milk for the farmers and la
borers. But can we blame them for
asking us to support this system? We
can stop the tariff plundering when we
know and vote for our own interests.

CARE OF THE CTSTERN.
Simple Precautions Which Will Ma
teriaIly Aid in csc
ing Health.

In the greater number of cases, ty-
phoid fever is caused either by the use
of impure water or milk. Where the
farmer has healthy cows there is no
danger from the latter source, but it
is surprising how much carelessness
there is in regard to drinking water,
says the American Tribune. If a els
tern is used, it should be thoroughly
cleaned every fall and only winter
rains allowed to empty into it. Where
there is no filter, lower a sack contain
ing about half a bushel of charcoal into
the cistern and it is well to test the
family drinking water at least once
during the season, as water which is
at one time pure may for some reason
become unfit for use.
A simple test of drinking water is
to fill a pint bottle three-quarters full.
Dissolve half a teaspoonful Of pure
graduated sugar in the water and
cork the bottle. Set it in a warm
place for two days. If in that time ii
becomes cloudy it is unfit for domes-
~ uoCs It Sul CIul tHut Tie JULIE is
absolutely clean and the sugar pure.
Another test is to add five drops of
saturated solution of permanganate of
potassium to a pint bottle of water.
This will turn the water a beautiful
rose purple. If there is any consid-
cradle amount of organic matter in
the water, the color will change in a
few hours to a more or less dirty red
dish brown.
1t has been announced by the Chi
cago health department, after careful
experiments, that a te%aspoonful OF
lemon juice in a glass Of water will de-
stroy the typhoid fever germ. This
should not be depended upon, however,
to make impure water healthy. 1t is
also stated on good authority that one
per cent. of borax in drinking water,
will make it perfectly safe and the
borax instead of being in itself in.
furious, will aid the digestion.
