49, munity of travellers. Every
ambitious man went to sea and even
tually, if he lived. became a captain.
Then he took his wife and, in most
cases, his children with him on long
VOYAGES. To the STAY at homes came
letters with odd foreign stamps and
postmarks Our whatnots and parlor
mantels were filed with carved bits of
ivory, gorgeous shells, alabaster can
dlesticks and plaster miniatures of the
leaning tower at Pisa or the Coli
scum at Rome. We usually began a
conversation with, when my husband
and I were at Hongkong the last time"
or, II remember at Mauritius they
always New Orleans and Frisco
were the nearest domestic ports the
mention of which was considered
worth while.
But this is so no longer. A trip to
Boston is, of course, no novelty to the
most of us, but when we visit New
York we take care to advertise it be-
forehand. And the few who avail
themselves of the spring "cut rates"
and go on excursions to Washington
plan definite programmes for each day
at the capital and discuss them with
envious friends for weeks in advance.
And if the prearranged program is
not scrupulously carried out we feel
that we have been defrauded. 1t was
the regret Of Aunt Sophronia Hallett's
life that on her Washington excursion
she had not seen the diplomatic
corpse" She saw the president and
the monument and congress and 'the
relics in the Smithsonian institution"
but the corpse" was not on view
Aunt Sophronia never quite got over
the disappointment.

he saw her what should he say to
her? He could not tell her that she
must not visit the Cy Whitaker place
again. If he did she would insist
upon the reason. If he told her OF the
s.toyvn talk he felt sure, knowing her.
that she would indignantly refuse to
heed the malicious gossip. And he
was firmly resolved not to permit her
to compromise her life and her future

Dug-Drii!ed Wells Very Dangerous

Almost any community in which
wells have been drilled can boast of a
number of combination dug and drilled
wells. The owners congratulate them
selves on their wisdom in utilizing an
old dug we'll fifteen, twenty or thirty
feet in depth, and drilling through the
bottom of this to good flow of deep
water. The cost of drilling that tWen-
tainly an economy worth considering.
AS matter of fact, this combined dug
and drilled we'll is particularly
dangerous type, 1t may readily breed
malarial fever or even typhoid fever,
which is more prevalent in the country
than even in the overcrowded cities, in
spite of the supposed pure water
supply of nearly all farming sections.
Such we'll is all the more dangerous
because it is fancied to be safe. AL
though the water encountered by the
deep we'll may be perfectly pure at the
start, contamination may take place
almost Immediately by the entrance,
especially after rains, of seepage
water into the open well and thence
into the casing of the drilled WELL The
remedies are obvious. Either the
casing should be carried to the surface
