BOILING WATER.
The Process Said ia XIII All It's Life
Giving Qualities.

The Process said tn XIII All It's Life
Giving Qualities.
Charles II. Mason Of Saratoga, dis
cusslng the typhoid fever situation, OPP
posed the boiling OF Potomac water as
II preventive OF the spread OF this dis
ease. To boil the water, he contends,
Is to take from II all Its life giving
qualities. ut appears that prior to the
installation .of your filtration plant"
said Mr.. Mason, at was claimed by
the authorities that filtration would re-
duce the danger of the fever to Il mini
mum and guarantee to the people of
Washington n clear and wholesome
water at all times. The question of
pure water and how to maintain II Is
n serious n for any city, and II prob
ably IL natural for the authorities to
assert the belief that Infection comes
from some source other than the water
10Y provided. Whatever may be the
cause, II Is a well known fact that all
water loses two-thirds or more Of It's
life giving properties when 1t Is boiled.
still the authorities here are advocat-
Ing the boiling OF the water. Those
who urge this remedy lose sight of the
fact that water has life giving ms well
as life destroying germs. When you
boil II you kill both germs and have a
dead water. This applies to all bottled
waters, mineral or otherwise, as every
chemist knows the minute water IL
separated from earth II becomes stale.
We drink water In bottles that has
been corked up months at n time, and
those who buy and use 1t think they
are lettering themselves, but not one
of them would think of drinking a
glass OF Potomac water that had stood
over night. Yet the one Is ns good rs
the other 40 far rs any life giving
property Is concerned. These bottled
waters are charged with gas to make
them sparkle, but nothing that can be
done to them can keep them alive
The typhoid fever germ may be In the
Potomac water, and II 1t Is boiled the
germ probably will be killed, but drink
Ing boiled water does the system abso-
lutely 10 good, and what the system
wants and Graves Is water that re-
freshes and r%evives."- Washington

THE REAL LINCOLN.
He WINS Not Homcly, and He was
Not SIovenIy In Dress.

He Wns Not Homcly, and He Was
Not s~IovenIy In Dress.
For many years it has been the fash
ion to call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He
was very tall and very thin. His eyes
were deep sunken, his skin of n sailow
pallor, his hair coarse, black and un-
ruly. Yet he was neither ungrnceful
nor awkward nor ugly. His large fea-
lures fitted his large frame, and his
large hands and feet were but right on
a body that measured six feet four
inches. His was a sad and thoughtful
face, and from boyhood he had carried
a load of care. 1t Is small wonder that
when alone or absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep lines. the eyes
appear as IL seeing something beyond
the vision Of other men and the shout
ders stoop as though they, too, We're
bearing a weight. But in a moment
all would be changed. The deep eyes
could fash or twinkle merrily with hu-
NOR or look out from under overhang-
Ing brows as they did upon the Five
Point children in kindlicst g%entleness.
So, too, In public speaking, when his
tall body rose to its full height, with
head thrown back and his face trans
figured with the fire and earnestness
of his thought. he would answer Doug
las in the high, clear tenor that came
to him In the heat Of debate, carrying
his IDEAS so far out over listening
crowds. And later, during the years Of
war, when he pronounced with noble
gravity the words Of his famous nd
dresses. not o2e In the throngs that
heard him could truly say that he was
other than a handsome man.
1t has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless in
his dress. This also is a mistake. His
clothes could not TT smoothly on his
glunt and bony frame. He was no
tailor's figure Of 4 man. but from the
first he clothed himself as well as his
means allowed and in the fashion OF
the time and place.
In reading the grotesque stories of
his boyhood, Of the tall STRIPPING whose
trousers left exposed a length Of shin,
1t must be remembered not only how
poor he was. but that he lived on the
fron'ier. where other boys. less poor.
Were scarcely better clad. In Vandalia
the blue jeans he wore were the dress
of his companions as well, and later,
from Springfield days on. clear through
his presidency, his costume was the
usual suit Of black broadcloth, careful
ly made and ~scrupulously neat. He
cared nothing for style. 1t did not
matter to him whether the man with
whom he talked wore a coat Of the
latest cut or owned no coat at all. 1t
was the man inside the coat that in
terested him.-Helen Nicolay in st.

How n Firm OF Architects Got It's
Name ON n Building.

Close observation. on the part OF n
newspaper man In Boston several
years ago revealed n striking device
employed by the firm of Mcliim, Mead
Il White, the noted New York nrchi-
tects. of which Stanford White. who
was murdered by Harry X. Thaw in
New York recently, was u member.
The device, says the P%ittsburg Gazette
Times, was m acrOstic Of names IA
nous In history, literature and art by
which the firms name was to be EN-
graved on the Boston Public library.
As may be observed, the arrangement
defed literature. history and philoso-
ply In arrangement, and this was the
thing that attracted the newspaper
mans attention. The names were con-
glomerated from all nations and ages
into n seemingly neat o~rnamentation
for the fine building. Beginning at the
top Of n space to be devoted to names
famous In the world In various lines
were the following:
Moses,
Cicero,
Kalldasa,
lsocrates,
Milton.
These names, through their initials,
formed the first part Of the acrostic,
spelling plainly "McKim." A slight
space appeared before the next list Of
names. which was:
Mozart,
Euclid.
Aeschylus.
Dante.
The initials of these names brought
out the second name of the firm,
"Mead." Another slight space, and the
following names appeared:
Wren,
Herrick,
Irving,
Titan,
Erasmus.
Here was the name white" also en-
graved, the whole device bringing out
the firm name Of "McKim, Mead &
White" in connection with the worlds
famed men. 1t was in 1890, Just before
the building was completed, that the
discovery was made and published.
The list of names was changed.
