II the Brooklyn water famine con
tinues much longer, reasonably. pure
drinking water will cost more in that
borough than beer People who can
afford 1t have long bought their drink
ing water In bottles and demijohns,
and the trade in this commodity is in
creasing every day. Persons who have,
drunk all their lives from well or
q faucet as Nature intended would be
amazed at the different orders, genera
and species Of water found In Brook
lyn. No matter If you take water from
an old farm well and send 1t to the
Brooklyn market, you must have a
chemical analysis to print on your la
bells. 1t may be full OF regenerating
minerals or without minerals, or it
may even contain those rare and yalu-
able constituents, hydrogen and oxy-
gen, or it may be distilled or double
distilled, or even triple-distiIled and
aerated. But whatever it has or is
must appear on its bottle or demijohn
because it has been so long since
Brooklyn has drunk plain water that
the article would be apt to be looked
upon with suspicion. A few months
ago distilled wates at five gallons for
so cents seemed to answer every need.
Double-distilled water followed at the
same price. But as time passed tastes
became more fastidious. Now at your
grocer's your attention is called to
something with Yery choice chemical
analysis label at Is cents a gallon, or
to rare Jersey vintage In handsome
patent-rubber-corked bottle at two
quarts for 20 cents. These are merely
two examples out OF the multitude
which Brooklyn druggists and grocers
are offering. The last-named, it will
be seen, costs no more than beer. 1t
Is already burning question in Brook
lyn whether its hitherto fortunate and
happy citizens are to be driven to
drink.--New York Sun.

Home of Biuebeard
llEl.zs'lZ HIzllzz
N a.

The days when Henry Morgan was a
most entcrprising bandit upon the high
seas, two powerful pirates held sway
in the waters of the Atlantic and Carib-
bean east of Porto Rico and now and
again sailed to the westward as far as
San Domingo. They operated togeth-
er, these buccaneers. and having in
terests in common, formed an alliance
both Offensive and defensive. Indeed,
it is said that on occasion their fleets
were sufficiently powerful to meet and
vanquish any OF the great frigates
which the nations sent against them.
AS a snug harbor these merry gentle
men chose Charlotte Amalia, a bit OF
a settlement on the Island of st. Thorn
as. It still exists, capital of the Danish
West Indies, the red-roofed houses
clustered upon the hills reminding the
traveller of to-day of the pictures upon
the cards displayed at Christmas time.
The castle OF Blackboard still stands,
quite a respectable place, being the
headquarters OF the chief Of police OF
the town. The castle of Bluebeard is
also a well-preseryed structure. and
from his old stronghold comes the
story.
The Bluebeard whose history has
been so Interestingly written by that
imaginative Frenchman, Charles Per-
rault, is familiar to the little ones and
grown-ups alike, for who is there who
does not know of Fatima and Sister
Ann and the brothers who came to the
rescue at the critical moment? And
everybody, who is anybody, believes
the story, for did not its author also
tell of Little Red Ridinghood. the
Sleeping Beauty in the Wood and
Toads and Diamonds?
But this is the story of the Blue
beard Of the West Indies This proto-
type of the grim old oriental tyrant
commanded a schooner, whose beauti-
full lines and rakish look betokened
her unlawful calling. Bluebeard was
ostensibly a Grader, but he really traf-
ficked in slaves while carrying on
successful piratical business In order
to increase his revenue. He was pop
ular because of his good looks, his
money, generosity and daring, and the
fair inhabitants OF the settlement fair
ly adored him, although the men who
were not in his confidence scowled and
whispered that he was pirate.

them for the sake Of society. When her
anger subsidized she became frightened
and then sat down and had a good
cry. This quieted her nerves, and she
gave thought to method Of revenge.
Half an hour after she was closeted
with Mimmy Lafourche, the Obeah
woman from Martinique, who drove a
fiourishlng trade with the credulous.
Leaving the hut Of the sorceress, she
held in her hand a small bottle OF
liquid which she was assured would
cure the writers of the letters OF their
affection for Bluebeard and make him
her slave for life, On the following
