Pure Water on the Farm.

animals, to those who desire pure
milk and frst-class butter, we would
saw that it is of primary Importance
that the water supply should be from
q source beyond suspicion, and that
this source should be carefully guard
ed against pollution" This state
ment, quoted from a report of the
Canada Experimental Farms, calls
attention to a subject the Importance
of which is not fully appreciated on
many farms. The experiment sta
tons have made thousands of exam
nations of samples of drinking wa
ter, and these have shown that a
very large proportion of the water
used on farms, especially well wa
ter, is polluted and unfit for use.
In the majority of instances the
pollution, as shown by the chemical
data, is derived from the drainage
of the farm buildings and barnyard,
and is consequent upon two causes
the location of the well and the dirty
condition of it's surroundings. When
that most pernicious practice of
sinking the we'll in the stable or barn
yard is followed, provision is really
being made to collect, as in a cess
pool, liquid manure. The amount
of manure, the rainfall, and the por-
Osity of the soil are the chief factors
that will determine the rapidity and
extent of the contamination of such
wells; it is only in very exceptional
cases that they can escape pollution.
Let those about to sink wells, there
fore, remember that they should not
be dug in or near the barnyard nor
under the farm buildings. Not a lit
tie of this rural well-water pollution
Is due to the filthy state of the build
ings and yard. \ \ \
The well being sunk at a safe dis
lance from possible sources of pollu-
ton, the brick and stone work should
be coated to the ground water line
with a cement impervious to water.
This will protect the we'll from infl-
tratlon of drainage from the upper
layer of the soil. Further, a tight
hitting top should be provided, rising
TO the height of 9 inches or 1 foot
above the surface of the surrounding
ground. This viii prevent surface
water, mice, rats, and frogs from
entering. The household Stops, gar
page, ETC., should never be thrown on
the soil in the neighborhood of the
We'll; their proper place is the COM
post heap. Finally, the well should
never be used as a c~old-storage recep-
'acIe' nor the dairy or other vessels
washed at the we'll unless there is an
ample provision by a well-construct-
gu dram to take away the wash wa
ter.
\ well in which water rises sud
UenIy after a heavy rain should be
regarded with suspicion unless the
surroundings are scrupulously clean;

THE GOD OF THE uNAFRAID.

Though l walk through the valley OF
the shadow of death, will fear no
evil.-Psalm xiii: 4.
Now there are new religions. Many
the codes and creeds;
Many the quibbling chances to fit vita
our fancied needs;
All of them. waxing milder; waning n
strength and tone,
None of them stern and sturdy; noue
of them stand alone
None like the old religions, those that
the fathers made
Built on the fearless basis-the God
of the Unafraid
Mind you the old time people? Cues
tioning naught, and stern;
Knowing the lifelong lesson ere they
were set to learn;
Seeing the line was rigid, marking for
i'll or good
Holding to step beyond 1t led where
the sinners stood.
Mind you the old time people: They
who the law obeycd
Fearing and finding and praying the
God of the Unafraid.
Life was a constant battle into which
they were flung;
Thoughts were of old time sinful ere
they were given tongue.
Aye, if a hand offended, straightway
IL must be cut,
Else would the gates of heaven be 20
them ever shut.
That was an old-time picture, yet it
will never fade
Thus did the people worship the God
of the Unafraid.
Now there are new religions; fragile
and flimsy things;
Soothing and soft and subtle in all Of
their fashionings.
Mind you the old time people? Never
their fears could cease,
But they were not as we are-theirs
were the hearts at peace;
Theirs were the souls complacent,
knowing and undismayed;
Theirs was the living master-the
God of the Unafrald.

HIS TIME FOR GIVING.

Marcus Daily. the mining millionaire,
left a fortune of Sl1.OO0,0O0 and was
accounted one of the most generous
of the rich mine owners. He had mis-
own ideas. however. about the time
and place Of giving.
"A newspaper woman called upon
him one evening for a contribution to
a newsboys' home.
These poor little flowers Of the
street" said she; couldn't you give
me a gOOdly sum for them?"
There are only one kind of flowers
I like" answered the miner.
What are they. Mr.. Daly?"
-Four o'clocks. They never collect
money after closing time in the after
noon"
The visitor took the hint. Her next
mornings mail brought her a good
sized check for the newsboys.

Bathing with equal parts of witch
hazel and water is very restful TO the
eyes. Another plan is to battle the
eyes with warm water in which are
dissolved a pinch of powdered borax
and two or three drops of spirits of
camphor.
A soft linen cloth, which is employe
for no other purpose, is better to use
when bathing the eyes than a sponge.
The eyes should never be used
when they are tired or weak from i'll
ness, nor should they be exposed to a
strong light at any time. The light
should always fall on the work or BOOK
from over the left shoulder.
The creams used for the complexion
are bad for the eyes and should never
be applied. On no account should the
eyes be touched with lotions or ONT
ments except under the supervision of
an oculist. The constituencies of these
organs is so great that they resent the
slightest maltreatment.

The eyes should be bathed every
night before retiring to remove any
dust that might have gathered on the
lids during the day. Cold water
should be used, although lukewarm
water is good occasionally.
Open the lids and let the water
battle the eyeballs. Wipe them with a
soft towel, taking care TO rub toward
the nose. This motion has a tendency
to remove any foreign matter.
To preserve the round shape of the
eyeballs occasionally rub them gently,
and always toward the nose. AS one
grows older the eyebaIls have a ten
dency to become fat. Gentle rubbing
or massage helps to preserve their
shape.
II the lids are inflamed by cold or
study a little rose water is good for
bathing them. Cold weak tea, weak
salt water and warm milk are also
good for occasional use. The milk
should be diluted with water.

ATHLETICS FOR The EYES.

That there should be special exer-
cises, athletics, If you will, for the
eyes, is perhaps a novel idea to many.
But il is said that one way to strength
en- the eyes is to turn them alternately
upward and downward as far as pos.
sible twenty times in succession. Do
this slowly.
Next turn the eyes on the Level
from right to left, repeating as befor ,
Turn them to the upper left corner
and then to the lower right corner
Then alternate the motion from upper
right corner to the lower left corner
and repeat.
Conclude these exercises by rolling
the eyes around, first to the right, then
to the left, in the extreme limit OF the
muscular extensions. Be very careful
when performing the exercises not to
strain the muscles.
