PURE WATER. —It is the almost in
variable custom to judge of a water by
the quantity of organic matter it con
tains, no matter what its origin, and a
variation of two or three times a given
amount is held to make the difference
between a good and a bad water, l'ro
lessor Huxiey gave Uas his opinion,
speaking as a biologist. 44 that water
may be as pure as can be as regards
chemical analysis, and yet, as regards
the human body, be as deadly as prus
sic acid, and oil the other hand may be
chstmcally gross and yet do no harm
to any one." "I am aware," said he,
"that chemists m<y consider this as a
terrible conclusion, but it is true, and
if the public are guided by percentages
alone they may otien be led astray.
The real value of a determination of
the quality of organic impurity in a
water is, that by it a very shrewd no
tion can he obtained as to what has had
access to that water." However start
ling these statements may he to those
who judge of the wholesomeness of a
water by the amount of organic matter
it may coutain, we believe it to be none
the less au accurate description of
lacts. It is within our knowledge thaj
our rncst whoksouie supplies sometimes
contain an excess of organic matter,
and that the waters which give rise to
typhoid lever and other hardly less
serious disorders are frequently just
those which eontaiu the leat, the dil
ference of course belug that iu the one
case the organic matter is innocuous,
in the other deadly.
CURE KOR NIGHT SW EATS.— The night
perspirations of consumptive persons
are a notable factor in the progress of
the disease, ami many remedies have
been tried for them, one of the most
effective being sulphate of atropine.
This, however, is not always applica
ble. Recently, in a rebellious case Dr.
Kohuhom (a Belgian) thought to use
the powder which is employed In the
German Army as a remedy for sweat
ing of the feet, and known as staempul
ver; it contains salicylic acid ttliree
parts) and silicate of magnesia (eighty
seven parts). The effect was remark
able; the night-sweats, which had per
sisted several mouths, slopped the
first night, and six mouths alter they
had not reappeared. Another case was
also successfully treated. The method
is, rubbing the powder, each evening,
over the whole body: if the skin be too
dry, a little lard or alcoholic solution
ot"tannin should be rubbed on first.
As the powder may provoke coughing
the patient should, during application,
hold a handkerchief to the month and
nose.
A Ladiet Wish.
"Oh, how 1 do wish my skin was as
clear and soft as yours said a lady to
her friend. "You can easily make it
so," answered the friend. "How?"
inquired the lirst lady. "By using
Hop Bitters, that makes pure rich
blood and blooming health. It did it
for me, as you observe." Read of it.

hake them in a moderate oven til), done.
Remove the rice, and fill the tartlets
with jim, or with stewtd
fruit, anu on the top put a heaped
spoonful of whipped cream.
VEGETINE.— The great success of the
Vegetine as a cleanser and purifier of
the blood is shown beyond a doubt by
the great numbers who have taken it
and received Immediate relief, with
such remarkable cures.
POTATO DUCHESSK. —Boil and pass
through a seive half a dozen potatoes.
There must be no lumps. Add a gill
of cream, the yolks of three eggs, pep

time, form into a ball, brush on the top
slightly with*the beaten egg, and set
them in the oven until slightly brown
ed.

A YOUNG lady had been spending the
day with a bachelor minister and his
sister. Th'young laily, whose name
was Miss Hope, had been much grati
fied with the kindly treatment received
at the good old manse, and on leaving
expressed her thanks for the kindness
of the minister, making at the same
time the remark that she had not y t
heard him In the pulpit; but, she con
tinued, 44 1 will be over on the Sabbath
to hear you." I shall be very glad to
see you, Miss llope, and, under the in

lady. "How would this one do—'Lay

ONE day recently, a prominent busi
ness uian was about to enter his favor
ite resort for dinner, he was accosted
by an Individual with a decidedly care
worn expression, who begged that he
would assist him to get something to
eat. As the man looked like a worthy
object of charity, the gentleman) told
him to go in, and directed the waiter
to give him twenty-fivecents 1 worth'of
food and charge it to his cheek. Alter
finishing his own dinner the gentle
man was proceeding to settle for his
check, when, noticing a humorous look
on the waiter's face, he asked hiui
what the hungry man had ordered.
The reply was: 44 Five glasses of lager."
MR. SKTH GRKKN, writtlng of lake
and deep-water fishing, insists that
there are a dozen fish lost from haste
and Impatience to one lost because of
delay ; so long as the line Is taut, lie
says, the fish is not likely to get away.
Now we know why we don't have bet
ter luck when wo go fishing. It is
owing to haste and impatience. We pull
up too soon—pretty often before we
have a bite. We supposed It was be
cause we had forgotten to spit 011 the

A GENTLEMAN and his wife, with two
little girls, evidently twins, about 3
years of age, are seated at one of the

their breakfast to be brought to them.
Cue ot the little girls, who had been
iutently observing what was passing,
suddenly turned to her sister and said :
44 Why don't papa say drace?" The
reply was: "They ain't dot any Dod

LAST Sunday a gentleman went into
a drug store and asked to buy a piece
of soap. 44 Can T t sell anything but
medicines on Sunday." "But, man
alive, don't you kuow that cleanliness
is next to godliness?" "Well, I can't
help it, ifitis." "You don't hall try,"
responded the searcher for soap, as he
went out without it.
SNOOKS was a hard case, but he took

to be overheard by his workmen: "1

"I don't see any difference." 44 1 don't

HKKE is a good specimen of the labor
iously manufactured joke: "What do

person of a man attempting to dispose
of some chickens of questionable ap

the answer. "Thank you for the in
formation that they are prophets," re
sponded the querist; 1 took them to

THE census returns show that the

MATURE ANIMALS EARLY. —There is
great economy in so feeding annuals
for meat, that they will mature early.
It has been proved by repeated experi
ment that less feed Is required to uiake
a pound of meat in any animal the
younger it is. Take for example 11
steer fed for beef lie will uiake a far
greater gain 011 a bushel of meal or a
given quality of any suitable feed, he
tore he is a year old. than when he has
become two years old, and more at that
age than when he is three. This being
true beyond question, for it is one of
the settled matters in farm jrnotice, it
is the best economy to feed well, even
to loree the animal, and bring it to the
shambles at the earliest possible period.
Bullock, as tho English people call
them, steers In our own vocabulary,
can be made as fat and as meaty at 1 wo
years thus fed as others at three, fed ill
the ordinary manner. This makes a
saving of the food necessary t< keep—
not fatten —the animal of the third
year; which Is in itself a handsome
profit. Besides this saving, the beef of
a .">OO pound steer at two Is better ihau
that of the same at a year older. Ten
der beef Is that which Is made young
and rapidly. The reader w i'l see the
double profit In the course recommen
ded. Not only Is thi the case with the
steer, but with the lamb and the pig.
In tact the most successful pork-grow
ers slaughter their animals before they
reach the end of a year, from eight to
ten months being generally considered
the most profitable limit. We are :iw re
of the predjudico we are encountering
by the assumed. Bit facts are .-tub
born, and will not yield to any precon
ceived opinions. The farmer usually
keeps his swine until it is eighteen
months old, and does it on tlie ground
of economy; when the fact is, it lie
would feed well from the first, aud uoi
starve the creature ail summer to ur ke
it fatten when he began to feed, he
would see a difference. To make good
pork, feed generouslj* always, giving
such feed as its nature requires to make
growth, and then such fattening feed
as the appetite demands, and the
result will he better pork and larger
profits.

MY WAY —Dive your bees nice, clean

hives shut up so the mice can not get

THE IIESSIAN FLY.— AN effective
method ol avoiding the Hessian fly is
to prepare the land early and sow a
bushel or two of oats or barley. As
soon as this comes up the fly will lay
its eggs upon the stalks. The day be
fore the wheat Is sown ground should
be worked with a cultivator of bevy
harrow, which will cover the young
plants and bury them aud destroy the
young 11 y. Then the wheat may be
sown. This avoids the danger of the
fly waiting some days todepositits eggs
for want of a proper nest lor them.
