Ileitcnhig from Broken lee.
Skating is one of the best of sports,
and it is also one of the most hazardous.
It is always l>est when the }onds and
rivers are first frozen, hut that is like
wise the time when the iee is of unequal
thickness and strength localise of cur
rents amf springs nelow. The weak
places in the ice are called air holes:
they constitute the chief danger** 111
skating and traveling until they me
—-crlroJ ijotighs set in the ice.
Should an traveler fall
into one of these open air cavities he will
most assuredly be carried under the ice
if the current is strong, his only chance,
in the absence of assistance, being to
swim against the current.
One afternoon, says the author of
. “Field and Forest Hambies,” 1 saw a
skater plump into one of these danger
ous places, when suddenly another, ob
serving the accident, pulled off his coat,
and as he skated past the man in the
water, tossed it toward him, who caught
the sleeve and was dragged out by the
impetus with which the other was going.
The feat was done so cleverly that I
asked the performer if lie had been ac
customed to save persons in that way,
and he told me that he had pulled many
men nut of the air holes, and that pro
vided one is a good skater and can get
near enough to the individual, thero is
no more ready and efficacious method.
On another occasion 1 observed a skat
er fail, when immediately another pulled
off his coat and dashed toward the
drowning man, who caught it, and was
lying on the ice in a shorter time than 1
take to write down the fact. Youth's
Companion.
Impure Water.
The growing popular knowledge of in
visible impurities and the deepening im
pression upon the minds of people, the
necessity of a pure water supply, have
caused a demand for a simple and con
venient test. As yet there is no certain
and reliable test by chemical analysis.
The following tests are recommended:
“Fill a perfectly clean quart bottle half
full of water, cork and shake it; remove
the cork and see if any odor can be de
tected at the mouth of t lie bottle. Cork the
bottle again and put, in to a warm place fur
i few hours, or set into a pan of hot
water for an hour. Shake, uncork and
again test by smell. If an unpleasant or
faint or musty odor is perceptible, the
water requires more minute investiga
tion. The second simple test is‘t,o evapor
ate a quart of water to dryness in anew
tin pan or cup, and note the character of
the residue, and what happens when it is
strongly heated in a metal spoon. If the
sediment left after evaporation is small,
and on being burned in a metal spoon
gives rise only to such an odor as comes
from burning vegetable matter, the water
is not greatly contaminated with sewage.
Hut if the sediment is in considerable
quantity, dark in color and burns, giv
ing off the peculiar odor of burning hair
or animal matter, then the water
is foul.”—New York Graphic.
Steamboat Disasters.
There seems to be something remark
able about steamboat disasters. While
they are few and far between, years of
practical experience as an agent has
taught me that they never come singly.
One occurs, and nine out of ten times
two more follow within a few days. It
appears strange, but the records will bear
me out. When we do have a disaster on
the river, it is not generally one followed
by great loss of life. There are no more
careful or cautious men in professions
than our river boatmen, and it is a rare
tiling to hear of accidents or fatalities.
In late years the most serious disasters
have occurred on the Mississippi- river,
and generally come from sinking by
running into unearthed snags of old
hulks of gunboats sunk during the re
bellion, or are caused by spontaneous
combustion and sparks setting fire to
cotton aboard the steamers. There are,
however, fewer accidents on steamboats
than on railroads, and the percentage
last year was about ten steamboat acci
dents to a hundred on the rail.—Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette.
A Story of Daniel Iloone.
The party of surveyors “camped" on
the bank of the Missouri river where
Boone was then located. A number of
gentlemen from Kentucky who came
\yest to look at the new country (Mis
souri) were in camp with Boone. In the
evening, while they were all sitting
around the camp lire, expatiating on the
beauty of the surrounding territory they
had visited that day, saying it was
tainly the best of earth, Boone, who had
taken no part in the conversation, said:
“Gentlemen, you have not seen today
the best country on earth.” The Ken
tucky men, supposing that Boone had
been further west and had seen, if pos
sible, a better country, asked him where
the better land lay. Boone, in reply,
named four counties in the blue grass
region of Kentucky, the homes of the
men he was entertaining. They were
greatly surprised, and after further con
versation agreed that Boone was correct.

An Unhappy Coincidence.
Dr. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven,
after his active pastorate had ceased,was
accustomed to sit in the pulpit, and, if a
stranger preached, to introduce him to
the congregation, tine Sunday he said:
“The lirst pastor of this church was the
Rev. John Davenport,” and he proceeded
to pronounce a brief eulogy upon him.
“The grandson of that pastor was the
Rev. John Davenport, of Stamford. The
son of that pastor was the Rev. Jame3
Davenport of Southoid, L. I. We are
today to be addressed by a lineal de
scendant of John Davenport, our first
pastor.” The minister thus •introduced
was observed to be blushing violently,
and the occasion of his embarrassment
became evident when he announced his
text: “Visiting the iniquities of the
fathers upon the- children unto the third
and fourth generation.” —San Francisco
Arnonaut.
Popular Errors.
Misnomers are responsible for many of
our erroneous impressions. Prussian blue
does not come from Prussia; Burgundy
pitch does not come from Burgundy, and
it is not a pitch; Brazilian grass does not
come from Brazil, and it is not a grass;
black load has no lead in it; sealing wax
lias no wax in it; kid gloves are not
made out of kid; whalebone is no bone
at all, and salt is not salt, for it has been
long ago excluded from the class of
bodies denominated salts. Frank H.
Staufl'er in the Epoch.
William Perkins, of Owensbcrough,
Ky., is blind and ingenious. The result
of his affliction and his genius is a writ
ing machine for the blind, which the
boy has just perfected. It is said that a
San Francisco firm has paid him §5,000
for the right to manufacture and sell
the machine in tho United States.

A Sew Way to Build a Church.
A young lady in Yleri wether county has
adopted a novel way to raise funds where
with to build a, church. She does not
claim originality for the method of cal
culations, but as applied to church buiid>-
ing it is decidedly how.
She wrote lettler No. 1 to ajiiend ask
ing him to write two duplicate copies of
this letter numbering' them 2. To send
back to her the letter No. 1 .enclosingher
four cents in stamps and to write asking
his two friends to whom t he letters No. 2
were addressed, to do the same thing.
Each one of them to write two letters
duplicate of No. 2 numbering them 3,
and forward them to two other friends
requesting them to send her four cents
and to write more letters, raising the
number each time, until the'number of
issues had reached twenty. Then the last
issue, letters, No. 20, to be returned with
four cents each. If this chain is carried
out .and each one sends four cents, she
will raise $41,973;40. and the letters will
have reached over 1,000,000 persons.
