RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
Its Sanitary Condition Not what II
Ought to Be.

When such great sums of money are
being expended By city governments
that the inhabitants Of towns may have
sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply ia rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rela'
lively Insignificant, but 1t comprises
about 10 900 900 souls This means that
those 40, 900, 900 people are drinking the
water most available without thought
OF its sanitary condition
These various sources of supply
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water. The stats
tics of mortality in the country are
very indefinite but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from Illness as 1t 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 city. An exam
nation of typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate of other diseases Is gen
orally lower IN the country than In the
city, but the prevalence 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 rural typhoid rate to
be ten times greater than the urban
rate for the same district TO pafticu-
lariZe, IL certain district In central
Pennsylvania proves this fact 1t Is
made up OF a rural population with 100
Inhabitants to the square mile. 1t Is
region OF tine farms, wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
nic groves. And In this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever as in
the city Of Philadelphia.
Sad ats 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 controls the
conditions affecting It But what can
be done when the sources of supply
are numbered by the thousands? \
mint or money and an army of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply that is
given to that Of the city New York

CRUEL PUNISHMENTS.
Che Old Time Use of Torture In Legal
Processes.

The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions Of the various
states in prohibiting cruel and unusual
punlshments were not fighting an alb
surdity The use of torture in legal
processes was not when these instru-
ments were framed, SO remote as it Is
now
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed con
Bpiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture One had bodkin thrust
through his tongue and was chained
80 tree until he died Others were
broken on the wheel. 1t Is quantity
stated that Sir Thomas was "a man
OF good conscience and knowledge In
divinity" Dole's date was 1911.
The next notable instance Of the use
of torture was In 1862, In the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death the "peine
dure ct forte" the most horrible OF
deaths
Executions were In public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Qnelch, the pirate. and
six others were hanged in Boston, Sew
all wrote in his diary. when the scat
fold was let to sink there was such
screech of the women that my wife
heard 1t, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard" though the gallows was
q mile away and the wind unfayorable.
The use of torture TO wiring the truth
from witnesses Is said to have been rec
ognized as legal in Austria until well
within the century

chickens II it IS to he II soggy, rainy,

SNOWSLlDES OF ROCKIES.
Peril of Mountains Takes It's Toll OF
Life and Property.

Peril of Mountains Takes Its Toll of
Life and Property.
Every year the life of miner Ia the
high mountain regions Is menaced by
the avalanche or snowslide, and every
year brings its list OF casualties and
OF hairbfeadth escapes. The story OF
sn0wslldes would I'LL u book and would
be thrilling, tragic and la some cases
IA greWsome one.
Men have ridden hundreds of feet on
the back of IL snowslide and have es.
capped unhurt. Others have been caught
and buried So deep and In such uncer-
tain spots that their bodies have not
been discovered until the melting OF
the snow Ia the following spring
Some have been caught as they were
walking, but few steps from the
boarding house to the mine, or while
emptying ear on the mine dump Not
lnfrequently men have found them
selves temporarily imprisoned by the
entrance of the mine being closed by
a Slide while they were ut work and
have had to dig their way out
a chinese COOK at one or the Idaho
mines stepped outside his kitchen door
for moment and was caught and
hurled with the slide 1000 feet down
the hillside and his body was not re
covered till the following spring
Such incidents denote the extreme
suddenness, power and velocity OF the
slide. Little OF no warming Is given, u
roar, cloud OF snow obseuring the
sight OF the real slide. and In mo

mingled with trees and debris, are shot

CURIOUS FISH.
They Keep Their Eggs In Natural
Pockets In Their Mouths.


In the sea of Galilee or Lake Ttbe
rias. as II Is also called, there Is
strange fish named the ChromlS simo
MS, which Is more careful or Its young
than fish generally are. The male
takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps
them IN his natural side pockets, where
they are regularly Matched and remain
until able to SHIFT Tor themselves. BY
thi5 ingenious arrangement the brood
Is comparatively guarded against Its
natural enemies. 1t Is easily fed, too,
but 1t is u puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago
says traveller Writing to a religious
Contemporary, | found In my net
number of these tish without eyes.
Others Of the species. when | lifted
them up. dropped II number Of little
fishes out of their mouths, which swan
away hastily. The natives explained
the phenomenon. The blind chromi5
IL the victim OF sea hawks. When
these birds have eaten their I'LL they
begin to look out for tidbits. After
catching fish they hit It's forehead
With lhelf slhfp peak, hhochihS oul
the middle part, III which their eyes are
set The bony structure Is dropped
into the water, but the eyes are eaten
by the birds with great relish.
Strangely enough, the fish generally
survive this rough treatment. The
wound heals up quickly In water, aud
they continue TO ply the lake for food
as If nothing had happened London

BuIsyer Lytton's Letters to His Own
"AdOred Poodle"
To Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend aud the executriX Of Lady Lyt-
ton had been confided "A packet of 29s
letters, representing the correspond
ence of Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler in the days Of their early
cOurtship. Miss Dewey published these
with a preface, stating that she took
this action IN order 10 yindtcate the
memory Of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as a indication II IS difhcult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con
tribution to the literature of epistOlary
loYemaking. The eXtraYagant absurd
~ of some of them Is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
ed as illustrative of many others. In
the letters BulWer LyttOn addresses
