prepared for the ordeal only by the
experiences of the preceding eighty
years of his life.
The adopted son of the Egyptian

set, he had continually before him the
fact that his features were Jewish.
and that thus every one had knowledge
Of his identity with the deSpised and
oppressed people. The tendency would
naturally be toward one of two
courses: Either he would seek TO X.

and more identified with the Egyp-
tinns, or else he would exercise faith
In the special promises OF which his
people were heirs us children of Abru-

Moses believed that the time had come
for the deliverance Of the IsraelltcS
from bondage. lie knew well Of his
miraculous preservation. and had the
assurance OF Gods Promise that this
signitied that God had Il special work
for him To do. He was anxious to be-
sin that work. He knew not Of his
own unreadncSs-that he would require
forty years more Of special schooling.
An occasion to show his zeal for his
brethren came when he saw an Egyp.

threw himself into the scufFe THE

that none of the Egyptians knew OF
the matter. so he quietly buried the

would open the door for them to leave

Many of the cases of typhoid fever record ed in the fall In cities where the wa ter is pure had theirI origin in water or contaminated substances, drunk or. eaten at some summer. resort Insist on boiled water. If you absolutely cannot get boiled water, make very sure about the reputat ton of springs, wells, or tap water. Refuse absolute ly to take any water that comes from a source near an oIIthouse or stable. or in a neighborhood where fever is at all prevalent
 Boiled water can be made just as palatabIe as unboiIed water The fla t taste which boiled water has soon after it has been boiled, is due to the fact that boiling drives out of 1t the air which is held in solution. If the water, after boiling is put in rscalded shallow open pans and allowed to stand for 24 hours, where flies or dirt can not get at it, it will regain it's air and have it's usual taste restored by the second day.
 Finally, it is particularly important in summer that people should not be mis1ed into believing that the label. -t.Guaranteed under the Food and Drugs Act,.'' on canss and packages means that the government has tested these foods and pronounced them pure and desirable, The government. does not make the guarantee. The guar antee is made wholly by the manufac- turer, and means no more than when your own corner grocer guarantees that the sugar he weighs out for you is all right. Examine goods labeled "guaranteed'' just as carefully as any other kind.

the condition Of the food they eat at all seasons of the year, they should be particularly watchful during the sum n1er months. Tn hot weather, bacteria multiply far more rapidly than in cold weather and produce chemical changes in some foods which greatly lessens their nutrit1ve value and often make them unfit for human consumption. Unfortunately, there is no quick, ab- solute, simple, practical way of deterr mining the presence of hurtful bacfllii in foods, or of obtaining positive evil dence of the existence of ptomaines. The average family does not have the delicate apparatus needed for these tests nor the skill to detect these mi cro-organisms.
 The housewife will find eyes and nose the safest practical detectives of bad food in hot weather If any ar tfcle has any suspicion of an unusual odor, or looks abnormaI, it should be avoided People eating in doubtful should be particularly careful about meats or fish cooked with a highly spiced or aromatic sauce which might disguise 3, bad taste or warning odor. Only sweet smelltng,. clean food should be eaten. Spotted, green, sliIny or frothy raw meat, or meat which is soft in spots, also should be regarded with suspicion. Taste. of course, is a supplementary  nose and fingers A mother, before she allows her child to eat anything, should examine 1t carefully in good light, smell it, and finally taste it.
 Milk particularly deteriorates rapid Iy under summer heat, especially if it already contains bacteria. Housewives, therefore, should see to it that their milk, after being left by the milkman, does not stand for any length of time on a hot back porch or stoop, before it is put in the icebox. MIX bottles should be kept closed, both in the ice box and out of it. If there is any doubt at all as to the excellence of the local milk supply, pasteurize all milk.
 All foods should be kept covered, or wrapped, and always out of the reach of flies, which are deadly car rfers of typhoid. All vessels. pitchers. etc, in which food is to be stored should first be scalded. Food should be handled as little as possible The ice box, especially it's drain pipe, should be cleaned throughout and fre- auently with boiling water and wash ing soda, and given an occasional air ing. A persistent battle should be waged against flies in all parts of the home.

THE SECOND OF JULY AT

This was undoubtedly the f1ercest contest, of the war. The loss oh both sides must have been terrible [. The enemy were most desperate in their attacks, brigade after brigade were marched up against Generals SickIee and Hancock's column with the most denoniac fury and having delivered their fire until their strength was spent they would fall down and let another line march over them and perform the same menuever while they would depIoy and recruit for a repetition of the same role.
 Meanwhile our boys stood like walls of stone and received their fire return ing 1t with interest while our light batteries moved the enemy down with grape and canister until the Fifth corps came to their support and de- hvered their fire. Then it was that in one magnificent, com bined enthu- siastic charge they dispersed the reb- els and drove them back from their designs upon our left

Wives OF Farmers and Insanity.

The Rural New Yorker denies the
truth Of the oft-repeated statement
that the insane asylums are mostly
filled with farmers wives. In the
last year only 8 per cent of the pa
tients sent to New York asylums
came from the country. We believe
the Rural New Yorker is right, too.
We have heard much of the poor
farmers wife worn out physically
and mentally by overwork, isolation
and lack Of diversion, and we know
that many farm women have to
work harder and stay at home more
than they should; but we feel sure
that there is much exaggeration as
to the the hardships farmers wives
have to endure, and more as to the
prevalence Of insanity in the coun-
try districts. The next time you
hear any one say that the insane
asylums are mostly filled with farm
ers' wives ask him for proof and see
how much he really knows about it.
