The Right Way to Boil water.

ITO boil water would seem to be a
very simple thing" writes some one in
the Boston Cooking School Magazine,
land yet the late Charles Delmonico
used to say that very few people know
how to do it. The secret is he said,
in putting good fresh water into ket-
tie already quite warm, setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
it right off for use in tea, coffee or 9TH
er drinks before it is spoiled. To let it
steam and simmer and evaporate until
the good water is in the atmosphere
and only the lime and iron and dregs
left in the kettle is what makes great
many people sick, and it is worse than
no water at ALL For water boiled like
this and favored with few drops of
lemon juice Mr.. Delmonico used to
charge as much as for his best liquors,
and he often recommended it to his
customers and friends who complained
Of loss of appetite. 1t is worth trying"

Eyes 1t Dinerent Ages.

The Stockholm museum possesses an
interesting collection Of eyes taken
from human beings at different ages,
which are cut across in such a way al
to exhibit plainly the internal and the
external eye. It is easy to observe that
the eye Of q young child is as trans
parent as water; that Of the youth q
little less so; In the man of thirty the
eye begins to be slightly opaque, in the
man Of fifty or sixty 1t is decidedly
opaque, and in the man of seventy or
eighty it is dull and lusterless. This
gradual development Of opacity Is due
b the increase Of fibrous tissue and de-
posit Of waste matter in the eye.

y By a decree of nature Sone-half the
world fourishesl at the expense Of the
other half. The sparrow chases the
butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem of life is
twofold. It is not enough merely to
eat. 1t is necessary to avoid being eat
en-. Yet nature detests killing for kill
ing's sake. Massacre forms no part Of
her great plan. So we see that every
creature is provided with some more
or less effective quality Of defense by
means of which the attacks of its nat
ural enemies are rendered less frequent
or less deadly.
Thus the antelope by means Of its
superior speed at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo, rolled in its
wondrous coat Of mail, lies secure
among a score of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
distinguishable from the snow on
which it crouches, is often overlooked
by his foe, the fox. But of all creatures
none has received more ample protec-
ton than the insects. Some Of them
possess stings, others bite. and few
puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to
stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again,
there are insects clothed in impenetra-
BILE armor, insects covered with sharp
spines and prickles and others whose
means Of defense consist in nothing
but likeness to the objects which sur
round them.-Royal Magazine.

The Wastes:of the BODY.

two pounds of WORKOUT tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the

digestive organs fail to perform their
functions, the strength lets down, health
gives way, and disease sets up. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and

Baldwin People Are Not Able to Gem
pIete New Engines Before Last
OF February.

Though the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road is badly in need of motive pow
err to handle the abnormal increase of
freight traffic. it has received notice
from the Baldwin Locomotive Works
that seven premium engines that were
to be delivered early in January can
not be furnished until the latter part
of February. The company paid other
railroad companies a premium to get
their places on the order list at the
Baldwin works for the locomotives so
as to secure the use of them at the
very earliest date.
The Baltimore and Ohio has 200 new
locomo ii yes ordered. The contract
calls for the delivery of 100 during
March, April and Nav and 100 during
September. October and November. In
each order there are to be IS freight
locomotives, 10 Atlantic type passen-
ger engines and 10 heavy switch en-
gines. When these orders are filled
the company will have about /, 700 To-
comotives, of which about two-thirds
will be for hauling freight. The equip.
ment, it is expected. will enable the
company to handle all the bust ness
coming to it with much greater
promptness and satisfaction.

Free Delivery or Not.

The question of whether or not the
residents along the toll roads will

now to rest entirely with them. The
Post Master of this city has been di-
rected by Post Master Genreal Payne
to bar the delivery on all toll roads
that require a PAYMENT of toll bv the
Post Office Department.
At the last meeting of the Stock
holdres of the Martinsburg and Win
chester Turnpike Company it was de-
cided by them. that they require the
payment of toll from the rural mail
carriers. The matter was at once re-
ported by the authorities here to the
Post Master General and the reply. as
formerly given. was received. The
Turnpike Company then consented to
let them use the road until their next
meeting, when the question will be
brought up again.
The question rests now entirely with
the residents on this road as to wheth-
er thev Will have the rural delivery.
Now is the opportunity TO petition to
the County Court and try and have The
