POLLUTED WATER.
Two Simple Tests by Which It's lm-
 purity Bay Be Noted.

pufItJ Day pc Noteu'
 Every one knows and admits the ne- cessity for pure water When you are away from home and are not sure of the character of the water supply it would not be bad idea to make few simple tests. The results may prove that it was decidedly worth while to take the trouble. says the New York Sun. Here are two tests that you can make very easily:
 Fill tumbler with water drop i'll a lump of white sugar. cover it with saucer and let it stand overnight on the bricks at the side of the range on the kitchen mantelpiece or. in fact. anywhere where the temperature will not sink below GO degrees. If next morning the contents are clear the Wa ter is pure. If. on the other hand, the liquid is cloudy some source of con- tamination is indisputably proved.
 The second test is to drop a few grains of permanganate of potash into a tumbler of water, cover and let it stand for an hour. If the water is still of the bright rosy color to which the chemical turned it. it is perfectly safe for drinking If it is of brown ish color it is impure, although the i'm purity may be of the kind that boiling will rob of its power to harm.

ANIMAL SPIRITS.
Our Vital Functions as They Were
 Known In GaIen's Time.

Our Vital Functions as They Were
 Known In GaIen's Time.
 Few persons even stop to consider when they speak of a man of spirit that they are unwittingly employing the language of the days of Galen," says the Journal of the American Med ical Association. Yet this is evident ly the survival of the old doctrine of spirits. We may believe that Galen had a conception of the nerve trunks as conductors of something-he called it spirits-to and from the brain and spinal cord.
 "The natural spirits were that unde- fined property which gave to blood the capacity of nourishing the tissues of the body. The vital spirits were ac- quired in the heart. and when at last the blood with its vital spirits went to the brain and experienced a sort of re- finement for the last time the animal spirits were separated from it and car ried to the body by the nerve trunks.
 Such was the idea of the vital func- tions in the second century. Today. after 1900 years, we know that there are no spirits in our blood or nerves, but we still speak of being in high spirits" or flow spirits" of being full of animal spirits" of spirited an- swer" or spirited horse.'

THE WORD "YES."
We Are Charged With Rarely Using It
 In This Country.

In the United States ives" is pre-emi- nently book word, though 1t is also scattered somewhat thinly through the conversations of everyday people and is employed habitually by negligible number of individuals who are both highly cultured and careful of their speech. Furthermore, as compounds or set phrases tend to preserve old forms and old sounds, ives" regularly occurs in all stock combinations. That is why persons whose habitual affirmative is ordinarily "yeh-a," or "eh-a,' "eh-up," "yeh-up," never say "yeh-a, sir 'eh-a, to be sure,' yep, madam" "eh-up, in, deed." or "ei-a, thanks" for example
 "Yes, sir''-a group which in various states, but especially ill New England. is occasionally employed as an emphat- ic exclamation tand without any hu- morous intent in addressing girls or women!-"yes, sir" has several strik- ing variations; first, ives. sir," an ac- rentuation as common and illogical as that in "I hadn't any reason to ga" OI in He's married man." Then what is ives, sir-eG?' Well, like mo, sir-ec," it is as enthusiastically American as ives, sir-rah" is Elizabethan; but that final Zee" is mysterious--possibly de cayed remnant of "ye" or "thee," pos sibly nothing but an emphasizing vo- calic appendix, like the "o'' which cheerful Britons often add to right.
