WIDOWS MORE THAN HOLD OWN,
Have No Trouble In Maintaining Ad-
vantage in Matrimony.

Sam Weliers immortal advice to his
son still seems to hold good. Widows
are still hard to beat in the niatri'
monial stakes. During the last year
the spinsters have practically had it
all their own way between the ages
of 20 and 40, but after 40 it has been
the widow who has scored all along
the line, says the Philadelphia Record.
They would seem to acquire, after
their fourth decade has been reached,
a way of dealing with man that proves
irresistible. The spinster apparently
gives up to readily, takes too modest
a view of her seductive charms;
whereas the widow. having better
knowledge of the frailty of the other
sex, goes in and wins a second time.

KNEW VALUE OF GOOD WATER.

Sterilize Fluid.

The ancient Greeks already recon-
mended the use of sterilized water.
Rufus of Ephesus In the first century
of this era taught that "all water from
rivers and ponds is bad, except that
from the Nile. Water from rivers
which flow through unhealthy soil,
stagnant water and that which flows
near public bathing places is harmful.
The best water is that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated a second time
before drinking"
This hygfenic prescription was in
tended both for healthy and sick peo-
pie, since it was applied to the armies.
During marches and In the camps
pits must be dug successfully from the
highest point to the lowest level of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as Is used for making
pottery and the water should be made
to percolate through it. The water
will leave all its impurities in these
pits"
1t may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks, knowing the processes OF ster-
ilization and filtration of water which
they applied to that of the most
limpid waters, should have drunk with
out precautions the water of the Nile,
which our microscopes allow us to

pearance the most worthy of suspi-
cion of all, and is so muddy, so vel
| low, that it resembles wine.
