SOFT AND HARD WATER.

All natural waters contain greater
or less amount OF mineral water In So
luton. Rainwater has the smallest
percentage of solid impurities Of any,
and therefore II Is taken as the stand
ard variety of soft water. The terms
soft and hard" however. as applied
to water are, scientifically considered,
purely relative.
A water Is usually reckoned to be
soft when II contains less than one
five -thousandth part or It's weight OF
mineral ingredients and hard when 1t
contains more than one four -thousandth.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming a lather with soap, and is there
fore, suitable for washing purposes. while
hard water will only form lather. and
that imperfectly, with considerable diff
ficulty. A mineral water has more than
one two -thousandth of its weight OF nat
ural dissolved solids, and a medicinal
water is a variety OF mineral water con-
tanning q varying percentage of dissolved

THE CITY CHILD.

Pity the child. A London Scientist de-
clares that life In n big city makes young
children quick. but not intelligent. In
deed, he thinks II often destroys their
chances OF being clever. for II hastens
the development OF the brain unnaturarly.
II makes them superficial. alert. but not
observant; excitable but without one
spark OF enthusiasm. They are apt TO
grow blase. tickle. disconnected: they see
more things than the country bred child,
but not such interesting things: they do
not properly see anything. for they have
