Rural Water Supply.

Wen great sums of money are be-
Ing expended by city governments that
the inhabitants of towns may have a
sanitary water supply it seems strange
that the supply in rural towns should
receive little or no attention. This lat
ter population may seem relatively in
significant but according to the last
census it comprises about 40,00O,0JG
souls. This means that the 40,000,g0C
people are drinking the water most
available without a thought of its san
itary condition. These various sources
of supply whether wells, springs, OF
small streams, are similarly unreliable
for furnishing drinking water. The
statistics of mortality In the country
are very indefinite, but even these
show that the rural population is not
as free from illness as it should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate is lower than the urban
death rate yet the lowering in the
country has not been as great as in the
tistics shows that the death rate of 9th.
er diseases is generally lower in the
country than in the city but the prev.
alence of typhoid is almost equal to
II not greater in the rural districts
than in the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the ru-
raj typhoid rate to be ten times great
er than the urban rate for the same
district. To partcularize a certain dis
trict in central Pennsylvania proves
this fact. 1t Is made up of a rural pop
ulation with one hundred inhabitants
to the square mile. 1t Is region of
fine farms, wild mountains and woods,
country residences and picnic groves.
And in this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever as in the city of
Philadelphia. Sad as this condition is,
there seems to be no remedy for it
The sources of a city water supply are
few and the city government easily
cotnrols the conditions affecting 1t.
But what can be done when the sources
of supply are numered by the thou
sands? mint of money and an army
of chemists would not be sufficient to
give the same care to the country sup
ply that is given to that of the city.

many years is surely one who should
not be misjudged," he said, looking
up into the younger mans face;
most surely not by me, and at such
a time as the present"
AS he uttered the final words he
placed his arms around Lafittes
shoulders and embraced him.
"Sire!'
A volume of emotions spoke in that
single word.
Sire, my whole heart is grateful
for these words of confidence and
esteem. No one can realize better
than myself how grave was the mis-
take | made; and no man would make
greater sacrifices to undo it,

with all his old air of affection, and
tapping the shoulder upon which one
of his hands still rested, when you
better than to waste time and
thoughts in useless regrets. Let the
past go, Jean, my lad, and look only
into the future"
The emperor resumed his seat, and
resting his hands upon the arms of
the chair, stared straight before him,
while LATTE stood looking down at
the seated form.
''And may | not do something for
your" urged LATTE, making final
appeal.
Mono. Co. you and Greloire;
you must leave me, for | feel it un-
wise that you remain another mo-
ment. You can do nothing nothing,
for me. But am glad to have seen
you-both of you; and | thank you,
Jean, my valiant ghost from the past,
for your offer and your love"
The emperor as he spoke, leaned
forward in his chair; and there was
caress in his smile and tone, as we'll
as in his touch upon Laftte's hand.
IF ever time should come, Sire,
when | can serve you, may | have
the honor and happiness of receiving
your commapds?" was asked longing

CHAPTER XVIII.

When LATTE and Greloire were
ushered into Napoleon's cabinet, and
the formers eyes fell upon him he
had for SO many years longed to see,
his first sensation was that of pain.
The slender form was gone,-lost
in the personality of the stout, middle
aged man, who, lounging in a velvet
cushioned chair, looked at Lafitte
carelessly-coldly, as at an entire
stranger.
His appearance and attitude bore
out Greloire's remark,-th it was
said the emperor was strangely in
different to everything" Every line
of the listless face and relaxed form
indicated this.
AS the eX-soldier approached and
bowed low, faint smile lightened Ma
poleon's repellent expression, and he
said graciously, "Greloire, am
pleased to see you, and to know that
you have not forgotten one who
thought highly of you in more pros
porous days. Who is this you bring
with your
Sire, Captain Jean LATTE, of Lou
isiana," answered Greloire, after a
moments hesitancy; and LATTE, COM
ing forward, bowed respectfully.
Jean Lafitte," Napoleon repeated
slowly, looking, not at the former, but
at Greloire. 81 have heard the name
before, but not to the wearer's credit.
ask you, Greloire, and his voice
took yet icier note.-"you, who are
his sponsor, why Captain Jean Lafitte,
of louisiana dare present himself
before me?"
81 Jean LATTE, will answer your
question, Sire; |, Jean LATTE, OF
Louisiana, And | say to the man
whom my boyish heart adored, and
whom my mans heart loves, that
dare present myself to him because
I have ships, gold, men, at my COM
mand, and all these, with my own
life, are his, if he can find use for
them"
There was short silence, and one

"Dust Devils" of White Nile Valley.

Travellers in the celebrated Death
Valley of California have described
the wonderful contortions of the sand
pillars that small whirlwinds some
times send spinning across the hot
plain. Even more remarkable are
dust devils" seen by an explorer in
the valley of the White Nile. Some
times two of these whirling columns,
gyrating in opposite directions meet,
and if they be well matched the col
lision stops them and a struggle en-
sues as to which way they shall twist.
Gradually one gains the mastery, and
the two combined rush on together"
Some of these whirlwinds will strip
the clothes from an Arabs back, or
send goat spinning round and round
like a top.
