"You SHALL" said heartily, and bade
him good night.
In the week that followed saw
good deal of Martigny. I would meet
him on the stairs or in the hall. He
came again to see me, and I returned
his visit two nights later, upon which
occasion he produced two bottles Of
Chateau Yquem of delicacy beyond
all praise. And grew more and more
to like him. He told me many stories
of Paris, which, it seemed, had always
been his home, with wit to which
his slight accent and formal utterance
gave new point; he displayed a kindly
interest in my plans which was very
pleasing; he was always tactful, cour-
teous, good humored. He was plainly
boulevardier, a man Of the world,
with an outlook upon life little star
Ting in its materiality, but interesting
in its freshness and often amusing in
its frankness. And he seemed to re-
| turn my liking-certainly it was he
who sought me, not I who sought him.
He was being delayed, he said, in es-
tablishing his business; he could not
get just the quarters he desired, but
in another week there would be place
vacant. He would ask Ele to Cav up
the lease. Meanwhile time hung rath-
er heavily on his hands.

Tomahawk THROWING.

The practice of tomahawk throwing
is splendid outdoor exercise, and
one that trains the eyes and muscles
even better than archery. Further
more, the skill thus acquired may
prove of signal service to any of the
boys whose business or pleasure in
after-life takes them into wild and
unexplored wildernesses, for a we'll
thrown camp-ax will split the skull
of as large a monster as the grizzly
bear
When we youngsters first took up
the tomahawk as a plaything, of
course we were very awkward in ats
use. There was no one to show us,
and no one To tell us how to do any
/ thing we wanted to do, so we had to
learn from experiments. 1t took a
long time 10 find out how to hold the
/ implement. Each lad, without excep
ton, began by grasping the handle Of
the Ratchet any old way. swung it in
curve and let it go while the blade
was in a diagonal or s.anting position.
This would send 1t webbing through
the air with poor results as to mark
manship. and no power to stick into
the mark, for even when the blade
by chance hit the mark it struck
across the grain and the AK fell to
/ the ground. But at last we learned
to stand firmly before the mark with
our feet spread apart, the weight of
the body restineaipon the right leg.
We also learned TO take aim, not by
sighting along the Ratchet, but by
fixing our eyes on the mark. and so
/ holdinG our weapon that its edge
! formed part of the vertical line. When
the tomahawk is brought back from
! position over the shoulder without
turning the edge to one side or the
other, and thrown from this position
the blade cleaves its way straight
through the air, and the air itself
tends to keep it true to its course

THE GOOD BACTERIA.

Sewage must either purify or nitri-
fy. That is, it must either decompose
with results unfavorable in the ex.
treme), or such chemical action must
take place as will change the harmful
organic ingredients to harmless in
organic matters, a result really effecs.
ed through bringing them somehow
into contact with the air, the oxygen
of which will consume them. The prob
lem before us, then, really solves
itself into this: How may we so oxi.
die or nitrify sewage as to change
the noxious organic matter into harm
less mineral substances? To do this
the sanitary engineer instead of re-
moving the germs, as in water filtra-
ton, cultivates myriads of helpful
bacteria. Whether we consider such
sewage-diSposal as carried on by nat.
ural or by artificial means, on the ir-
rigated farm or the trickIing filter.
we find this startling and remarkable
fact,-the oxidizing of the sewage is
done by millions of living organisms.
The sewage filter is, in its essentials.
nothing more than pile of rock upon
which the good bacteria may grow.
THESE bacilli take in the organic
wastes and turn them into safe and
harmless inorganic matters. To cult.
Vate such bacteria and to use their
destructive powers ON dangerous
elements has been the effort of all &c.
cent sewage misunderstanding God.
