FOR BETTER WATER.
Movement on Foot for Bored Wells.
Something of Underground
Formation.

That the movement on foot for a
! better drinking water supply is COM
mendable there is not the last shad-
ow Of a doubt 1t has been realized
for some time that sooner or later.
bored wells in this part of the valley
will b. the rule rather than the excep-
ton, but TO bring the residents to the
realization of the fact that now is the
time for putting the movement into
practice is the idea.
c. VI. Higgins, who is a resident of
the Salt river valley was in the city
recently for the purpose Of determin-
ing the feeling of the residents in re-
gard to the boring of wells. Mr. Hig-
gins is we'll driller; in fact he claims
To know nothing about anything else
which is a strong argument for his
ability in his chosen profession. 1t
might also be said of Mr.. Higgins that
he is not a theorist; what he knows
of the underground conditions through
the valley he has got first hand He
does not slide his spectacles down on
the end of his nose until they ap-
proach the jumping off place and di-
late on geology, nor does he claim to
know anything about the Jehosophat
age, when our ancestors hung by their
tails but he does know about the
drilling OF ordinary water wells and
the kind of formations which overlie
the best water.
There are many advantages which a
bored well has over the old styled dug
and walled well which is used almost
exclusively on the south side.
The idea is to drill sixty feet and case.
At this depth the bottom of the well is
placed several feet below the high
water mark and also below the level

o Spiritism.

A recent writer, commenting upon
the development of spiritism with
the other new religions which
promise to furnish solution for
everything, aptly remarks that the
radical defect of this new fad is that
quite apart from theological or
moral Observation-Disclosures 1t
claims to be a progressive revelation
it does not progress. Certainly its
devotees do not profess to know
more now than they did in the ear
hest ages, and what they do claim
to know seems utterly ineffective and
yalueless. In fact, DR.. Lapponi, in
his "Hypnotism and Spiritism," goes
further than this, and asserts that
there is no single authentic instance
in which spiritism has served to en-
tighten us; and that the morality
and the religion which the spirits"
present lis simply childish when it
is not injurious. Such an estimate
from so high an authority is worth
the consideration of Christian dab
blers in spiri1ualism.-London Chris

The Power of His Resurrection.

Let us who believe in the Lord of
life no longer seek the living among
the dead. Let US not go with Mary
to the grave to weep there; but let
us stand where she stood after she
had recognized her risen Lord In the
light of the Easter morning, and with
joyful heart exclaim, "Rabboni!"
To know Him and the power OF
His resurrection" is to have joy for
the mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness. st. Paul
says he counts all things but loss
for the excellency of this knowledge.
And well he may, and so may we;
for without this knowledge all other
things are very small gain.
To stand beside sepulchre weep
ing, or with thoughts that lie too
deep for tears" is the universal hu-
man lot "since sorrow set her bleed.
ing heart on this fair world OF ours.
But bitter tears are shed only by one
who hopelessly says: They have
taken away my Lord" We tarry
at a sepulchre only when faith Is
under an eclipse. With spiritual
sight of Jesus and the recognition OF
His voice, lin whom, though now
we see Him not, yet believing, we
rejoice with. JOY unspeakable, we
turn away from the empty tomb,
knowing that it is only the gateway
of life, that grief is an avenue TO
richer Joy, and the light att1iction
is a factor in the eternal weight OF
glory.-Christian Advocate.

The Successful Life.

Gods will is mans life. To know
it is to gain life's meaning. To follow
it is to find life's pleasure. TO finish
it is to gain life's crown. True sue.
cess must follow this divine law or
living. No success is worth the name
that is not stamped with the divine
approval. If you are business man
your success will not be measured by
the dollar sign, but by more lasting
token, Gods approval. The dollar is
far below the deed in the estimation
of the Almighty. -.
Life is, after all, the essential pos
session. Upon it's character depends
destiny. Life outlasts the world, and
it's deeds have a more enduring quail
ity than it's possessions. Deeds await
the coming of the Son Of Man. True
success will be measured then. 1t is
no chance work, however. The Mas
ter, by both example and command,
puts His disciples in the path to such
success. IF a man would:come after
Me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross, and follow Me-" That
is a high ideal with plain condition
of it's attainment. Such following
of Christ makes a truly successful
life.-George R. Lunn, D. D., in Chris
tian Intelligencer.

or. Now the city of Laconia Is so
well satisfied with her work that she
will probably be chosen to another
term. Tax bills aggregating up
ward of 100000 were placed in
her hands for collection at the begin
ming of 1906, of which she has turned
over to the city treasury $90,162.24,
with an additional s1280.73 on olo
tax lists and $67.G6 in interest. Most
of the amount uncollected will, it is
believed, be paid before the end OF
the month of March, with which her
present term will expire. One of the
most notable features Of her work
has been her efficiency in rounding
up poll-taX delinquents, who have
been very troublesome to former col
lectors. All in all, she has made a
better record than any Of her male
predecessors since the Incorporation
of the city in 1898. Miss johnson
had experience as collector for the
Laconia Electric Lighting Company
before she entered the service OF the
city. and she applied to her new
office the personal 'follow-up" tactics
of which she had learned the value in
her former work.-From Leslies

A Prayer.

Heavenly Father, thou Divine
Father Of our human spirits, we
bring to Thee our little power; touch
it with new life, giving US to realize
that it is a part of Thy power. We
bring to Thee our little wisdom; en-
large and raise it through the sense
that it is part of Thy wisdom and
that as we commune with Thee we
may become more like Thee in wis
dom. We bring to Thee feeble love;
strengthen it, o God, through the
consciousness that it Is indeed Thy
love inspiring US. Fill our hearts
with a larger and a deeper love.
We thank Thee, o God, for the
opportunities of our life. Some
times the means and the occasions
which are ours seem to us so slight,
so small. and so insignificant. Some
times Thou revealed to us that we
have great opportunities. May we
be conscious. o God, of the greatness
of our present opportunity. Gathered
from the lands Of the world, belong
ing to many nations, living from day
to day under varied conditions, we
would realize that Thy spirit should
be ours now, during this week,
through all our lives. Join US, o
God, together in the sense of deep
unity, in the sense that our great
object is one, that, however diverse
our circumstances, we may be one
in Thee. May we dedicate ourselves
in all humanity; but with full aspi.
ration, anew to Thy service.
Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread, and forgive US
our trespasses as we forgive them
that trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver
US from evil. For Thine is the king
dom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever, amen.-Rev. Henry
Rawlings.

Until lately almost everything in
Mexico City and everywhere else
throughout the republic was carried
upon the backs of cargardors. If
you wanted 10 move your household
furniture you hired a certain num-
Der of cargadors. For house NOV
ing they generally work in pairs,
each pair having a hand truck, which
they pick up and carry, when it is
loaded, for it has no wheels. In
Mexico City there are still hundreds
of these hand trucks, though one
may now find plenty Of carts, wagons
and heavy movins trucks. There
are also regular transfer companies
But all of these are of recent impor-
tation-MeXican Herald.

WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find it is not
"the awful thing" feared, but only
chronic indigestion, which proper
food can relieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
II was troubled for years with In
digestion and chronic constipation.
At times l would have such gnaW-
ing in my stomach that I actually
feared had al dislike to write or
even think of what feared.
Seeing an account of Grape
Nuts, I decided to try it. After a
short time / was satisfied the trouble
was not the awful thing I feared, but
was still bad enough. However,
was relieved of a bad case Of dyspep-
sia by changing from improper food
to Grape-Nuts.
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as clock. had also
noticed before l began to eat Grape
Nuts that 1 was becoming forgetfukof
where I put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
But since the digestive organs have
become, strong from eating Grape
Nuts, my memory is good and my
mind as clear as when l was young,

The Domestic Hen a Wonder.

Scratching living here and there
killing thousands of bugs and worms,
which would cause much loss OF crops
If allowed to live, the ordinary barn-
yard hen Is a wonderful combination
Of productive forces. In. five years
time she will lay 700 eggs, each con-
tanning $50 grains Of water, 125 OF
fat, 10S of lime, 80 Of albumen, 26
of sugar and 10 of ash-the most
condensed and Strengthening form of
food offered to man. Every person
having little plot of ground is able
to keep from half dozen to many
dozen of these wonders and so add to
the family income. To do this to the
greatest advantage, one must know
how to care for his fowls-to guard
against, detect and cure disease;
which fowls to save for breeding pur-
poses, etc. The simplest and most
satisfactory way of securing this
knowledge Is to buy it from some
person who has made success of
fowl raising as a business. Such a
book, giving the experience of twen-
ty-five years, is obtainable for rs
cents in stamps from the Book Pub
fishing House. 1874 Leonard St., New

such knowledge was too wonderful
for speech. A night came, and he sat
still, brooding over the mystery at
the organ. His fingers found the
keys, and directly he sobbed out all
he had seen. He wrote it down, and

had become his language.
The drudgery of life Is that we
work like dumb, driven cattle, with
never syllable Of our heart secret
told in all our work. The joy Of life
comes when we can make our voca-
tion, whatever it may be, publish to
all the world the truth God has given
us. Every man who hath found his
true life work hath found a ministry.
God hath chosen every man to be His
servant and hath put some message
the world needs in his heart.

as an ordination vow.

to do their own work. ...

Nearer, My God, to Thee!" AS the

the, piety which his hostess must
possess which enabled her to go
about her task early in the morning
singing such noble hymn. H..

it, and told her how pleased he was.

An Oriental Parable.

A man had two sons. The elder
was virtuous and dutiful, the young
sr wicked and crafty. When the faith
er was about to die he called them be-
Gore him and said: "I have only two
things of value-my herd of camels
and my blessing. How shall I allot
them?"
Give to me-" said the younger
son, thy blessing. for it may reform
me. The camels / should be sure to
sell and squander the money"
The elder, Disgusting his JOY, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and a pious mind. 1t was
80 arranged, and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold, my broth
er has defrauded me Of my lawful
heritage. He is SO bad that our faith
er. as is well known, denied him his
blessing. Is it likely that he gave
him the camels?'

to give up the herd and was soundly

has invented a specially designed
slipper for the purpose of soaking
the feet. This slipper can be readily
put on or taken off, and can be worn
about the house. Air is excluded from
the feet, the natural warmth of the
feet keeping the bath itself warm.
The slipper is made of rubber, with
a comparatively heavy sole, the body
or upper being light and elastic. The
sole and upper are considerably
larger than the foot, so as to provide
room for the bath. The ankle fits
closely. Above the ankle are hand
pieces, to assist in putting on or TAX
ing of the slipper. BY placing
small quantity of the desired bath IN
the slipper the wearer can prolong
the bath indefinitely without seclu-
sion, replenishing or exposure to cold
air. Any desired liquid bath, such
as plain or salt water or any medical
compound may be used.-Washing-
