lime viii Bring It to the
Desired Condition.

Many we'll waters have from 16 tc
is degrees Of hardness, while ever
river and lake waters may have from
to rs degrees. Hardness is usually
due to the presence of compounds Of
lime and magnesia dissolved out oil
the soils and rocks. The lime salts
do most OF the damage by curdlinf
the soap and preventing its cleansing
action. The curdled soap remains In
the water. sticks to the fibers of the
cloth, and Is very difficult to remove
by washing, even with hot water
Water of ten degrees of hardness will
prevent the action OF seventeen
pounds of soap per thousand gallons
Of water, while water Of twenty de
grees Of hardness will prevent the
action Of thirty-four pounds of soar
per thousand gallons of water
Much Of the hardness of water NAV
be removed by the addition of two
pounds of quick lime to one thousand
gallons of water of average hard
ness. This will not remove more
than about three-quarters of the hard
ness Of the water, but 1t can be still,
further softened by adding a little

Young Hit Lad Struck in the Head
by BIB. Bullet While Standing
on Street This
Morning.
FEArUIE OF PARADE IS VERY BAD PRACTICE
Physician Called Who Found Skin Of
Boys Forehead Punctured
by Acel-
dent.

A young lad by the name of Hit
son Of H. II Hit Lying. between
Twelfth and Thirteenth on johnson
street, was badly wounded in the
forehead this morning when another
small boy shot him with an air rifle
The BIB bullet punctured the Skin
and the lead had to be removed by {
physician. While the wound is not
considered dangerous, if an eye hat
been struck, the sight would have
been impaired.
The mother of young Hill claim:
that the boy who did the shooting
took deliberate aim at her six-year ole
son and pulled the trigger of the all
gun. The lad with the rifle lives or
South Fourth street but has been {
constant visitor in the Twelfth stree
neighborhood for several weeks past
He seems to take delight in shooting
at birds and anything else that looks
like good target.
After the accident to the Hit boy
today, the police were informed o
the happening and will take stricr
measures with the owners of air gun:
in the future, it is stated.
One citizen on learning of the acct
dent today, said that he was driving
along a certain street in his car the
other day and saw one small boy with
an air rifle and another with a bis
revolver, taking aim at birds. The
practice he believes should be dis
couraged by parents.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Today's
market was very naturally regarded
as likely to provide a test Of the
genuiness and stability of yesterdays
recovery. 1t was hours before it was
possible to answer such a question
even tentatively The market opened
with very slight changes. Advices
from London and continental ex-
changes were rather distinctly favor
able. This was reflected by an irreg-
ular further advance of prices in the
early tradings but within an hour,
selling pressure made itself felt again
and the more active stocks lost all
their initial gain and in some cases
declined Y to 1 point below opening.
Then in the closing hour an active
buying movement set in again and
prices quickly rose to the highest
point of the day. From this they re-
coded fractionally at the close, which
was more or less irregular. The
market, taken as whole, reflected
numerous speculative cross move
ments, made UP of profit taking sales
by the weeks earlier buyers.

POSSIBLY THE FIRST MUSIC
Haspipes Have Been Known Since
There Has Been Any Record
Written in History.

Bagpipes are the Bulgarian national
instrument. Until lately the servants
who waited on the Turkish grand viz
Ter in Constantinople were mutes,
though not, as in former times, per-
sons specially mutilated, but children
born deaf and dumb. They use a
language of signs, with a special ges-
ture to describe the representative of
each nation. To indicate the Bulgar-
ian agent they initiate man playing
the bagpipes. 1t was not the Bull
garians who invented the pipes, how
ever. They are among the oldest of
musical instruments An ancient gem
shows Apollo with them, and two in
struments In the book Of Daniel are
believed to have been bagpipes.
The bagpipes range not only In time
from Apollo and the Bible to the pres
ent day. but geographically from China
to Spain and Great Britain. England
is said to have given them to Scotland.
One country, however, finally lost a
peculiarly severe form of the instru-
ment. This was the Sandman Ian
nedda,' which had three pipes, all
placed in the piper's mouth. and was
played by rubbing strips of wax up
and down over the holes.
The work was SO exhausting that
nearly all the pipers died young. In
1S45 George Burdett came across one
who had survived to the age of so.
But he was the last of the lannedda
players. and when he died, the instru-
ment was played no more.
