The Best Water.

A writer in Vim does not think high
~ of mineral waters. He says: THE
best water is the water containing the
least mineral matter in it. The nearer
you can come to getting absolutely pure
water QI o. to drink the more easy it
will be to keep in good health. The
simplest form in which absolutely pure
water is found is in rain. And rain
water collected from off a clean sur
face and stored in a clean reservoir is
as good as anything one can find. The
best substitute for rainWater is good
distilled water. In fact, distilled wa
ter may be somewhat preferable, as it
is not subject to accidental contamina-
ton in the many ways rainwater is.
To argue that absolutely pure water is
not healthful is equal to saying that
the addition of pollution improves tia
proposition that will not stand the test
OF hard common sense"

what Pigs Can BE Taught.

Owing to its obstinacy and seeming
stupidity the pig is usually classed
among the dull animals. This, how
ever, is not a just estimate of its in
telligence. Learned" pigs that could
pick out letters of the alphabet have
been exhibited at fairs. Throw a pig
into deep water, and it will begin swim
ming ashore at once, which is more
than most men are able to do.
In France they have been trained to
hunt for truffies (Which are hidden I'M
derground) and to draw the pillow.
They have even been taught to act as
pointers. In most cases they are
trained by means of reward for sue
cess. In pointing, for example, when
they blunder they get a stone, but if.
when they spot the bird, they drop
their tail and ears and sink on their
knees and do not rise until after the
bird has risen they are rewarded with
pudding

Where the Octopus Is Eaten.

The octopus is very largely used as
an article of food in southern Italy. It's
long tentacles are cut transversely, so
that when served at table they have
the appearance of rings. The fish,
when taken by day, are lured from the
crevices of the rocks by piece of red
flannel at the end of a bamboo, which
they attempt to grasp, and they are
then speared with a trident. At night
an iron cradle with bright flame of
resinous wood is fixed TO the bows of
the boat This attracts the fish and
leads him to his doom. These fires are
now being entirely superseded by acety-
lene gas, and the catches are so enor-
nous as TO threaten the octopus with
destruction.

NAPOLEON'S AMBITION.
Even as "a Child lie Was Warming to-
he a Commander.


Even as Il child Napoleon Bonaparte
showed evidence of the power which
was to make him one of the greatest
commanders that the world has ever
known. His mother often told the fol
lowing anecdote of his early boyhood;
he was, in fact, no more than eight
years old when it occurred:
"One night he was walking in our
garden meditatively. 1t was raining
violently. His brothers had sought
shelter in the house, where they were
playing. | Knocked at the window sew
eral times and made him signs to come
to me. He shrugged his shoulders
with an appearance of i'll humor and
continued his walk. He was drenched.
but he did not mind the storm and con-
tinued his walk with his head uncov
cred and his eyes fixed on the ground.
Sometimes he stopped before the little
fountain in the garden and appeared
to delight in seeing it run and to arrest
its preciDitancy with his hand. Some
claps of thunder were heard, which
caused him Il nervous shudder, but it
did not seem to be fear. He then cross
ed his arms over his chest and looked
at the heavens, courageously waiting
for another peal of thunder. | sent my
servant to order him to come in. Ma
poleon said to him, with GOODNESS, but
respectfully, Tell my mother that it
is warm and I am taking an airing
When the servant again entreated he
turned his back on him and quickened
his step. 1t was only when the storm
had ceased that he came in, wet to the
skin
THAT was not right, my child /
said to him. You have disobeyed me-
u could not help disobeying you
he answered. L do not know what
kept me in the garden. but if | am to
be a soldier | must accustom myself to
rains and to storms. l am not a girl.
l am a man.
"'You are a child, my son, and dis
obedient child. If you intend to be a
soldier you will learn that it is neces-
sary for you to obey
but l will command said he, with
an expression that made us laugh.
Before you command / replied,
you will be compelled to obey, and for
a long time. When you enter the serv-
ice you will not be a general
''He advanced toward me, took my
hand in his and pressed it, thus tacitly
acknowledging that l was right, but
not willing to confess it. Already at
that age he was so proud.
What were you thinking about
during your walk? | said to him, while
/ pressed my lips to his wet hair
81 do not know. / do not remem-
ber l was thinking of a great many
things. All, was endeavoring to recol-
lect dream / had last night, a dream
that pleases me very muchl [ dreamed
that / was a bishop. That is grand, is
it not? DO bishops go to the wars?
No, my child. That is expressly
forbidden them
"'Then | will be a soldier when |
am no longer child. At fifteen you
are no longer child, are you, mother?
81 think you are something of a
child still
HE paused a few moments and,
looking on the ground, said, AT fifteen
l will be a man.
.He then freed himself from my
arms and ran into the garden" ~
