TT ALWAYS PAYS.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

It always pays to be our best
 Though others may not see; But you and I must meet each test If we'd gain victory. It always pays to be our best
 Each in his humble sphere; And giving it returns to us
 Full measure of life's cheer And it will call the same to us The magnet draws its kind So if we always give our best
 The best we're sure to find.

CANAAN WATER ALL RIGHT.

The subject of drinking water is para mount in Canaan, just about now, when everybody has, perforoe, to drink water or go thirsty. Hence there should be universal interest in the chemical andy sis of the towns water supply just made at the state's chemical laboratory at Middletown, at the instigation of Dr. F. H. Lee, local health officer.
 The report that comes from the wise men of the laboratory is in the orthodox form, replete with an impressive tabula' tion of percentages and references to all sorts of terrifying things that they didn't find in the samples submitted, and some things that they did, but not in. alarm ing quantity. Some of the things they have to look for are Bacteria per 0. 0. on gelatin at 20 degrees O in 48 hours" '" "per cent. gas produced in lactose bile broth" which in the present examina- tion, with c. 0. water was %; "acid colonies on htmus lactose agar," also production of Indol." However, as these terms may be more alarming than enlightening to the average reader, and as the chemist failed to make them fit in anywhere in his examination of the Canaan water that Dr. Lee sent him, we skip along to the general conclusions" at the foot of the report, which are quite reassuring and will be generally gratify- ing, especially to such Canaanltes as have been inclined to look askance at the water pitcher and turn up their noses at the idea of aqua pura as bev- craze.
 The general conclusion is: "This water contains moderate amount of mineral matter and is moderately hard. The figure for free ammonia is rather high, probably due to the rapid disintegration of fresh water algae in the reservoir.
 "The numbers of bacteria are not high and no objectionable forms were found.
 "This water appears to be free from dangerous contamination at this time, and, with the exception of slight odor, is satisfactory for drinking purposes"

ASK FOR HIGHER
 WOMEN'S WAGES
Nugget Special serViss.

BOSTON, June 12.-The Union League Workers of this city have de- manded that the women be paid twelve dollars per week instead of eight and ten the going wage now in force.
 For many years the average wage of the shop clerks was from three to five dollars per week but during the past ten years the wages have been in- creasing at the rate of one dollar per week per year, and now the union de- mands a raise of from two to four dol lars per week. which the operators will not grant. according to the reports giv- en out.
 The Union League Workers believe a woman cannot live and keep up her appearance as clerks and helpers in large department stor,s on less than twelve dollars per week and they are going to make a strong fight to have that wage as the standard from now on.
