You can purchase such a machine for a few dollars, and it runs itself. All you have to do is to clean it out once in a couple of weeks. Just now epidemics of typhoid are frightening people all over the coun¬ try. Its sole cause is bad waer. Polluted drink is likewise accountable for malaria, the germs of which find their way from the stomach into the blood, where they feed on the red cor¬ puscles. Public recognition of these facts has brought a rapidly increasing demand for distilled water. The household still is inexpensive. Water from the city main passes into a reservoir, in which it cannot rise above a certain limit. There it is sub¬ mitted to a process of distillation,that goes on all the time, the necessary heat being furnished by a single gas jet. The contrivance is wholly auto¬ matic. The body of an average man con¬ tains forty-six quarts, or ninety-six pounds, of water. He drinks every day thirty-seven ounces and eats thirty-five ounces of water. Of course foods commonly hold a large percent¬ age of water. The bones of this indi¬ vidual are nearly one-fourth water; his brain, muscles, lungs and heart are three-fourths water, and his blood is more than four-fifths water. Evident¬ ly water is of sufficient importance to the human system to be worthy of serious consideration. Theriskof germ poisoning from this substance is greater than the danger from all other things taken in the body combined. He Was Absent-Minded. An absent-minded young preacher in New England, wishing to address the young ladies ‘ of his congregation after the morning services, remarked from the pulpit that he would be very glad if the female brethren of the con¬ gregation would remain after they had gone home. He was almost as badly mixed, the narrator of this says, as another preacher, who, after describ¬ ing a pathetic scene he had witnessed, added, huskily: “I tell yon, brothers, there was hardly a dry tear in the houae.” Mrs, Collin*’ StoTy. I am thirty-three years oid, have been mar¬ ried seventeen years and have four living children. My health has not been good since my first child was born. Twelve months ago 1 was confined, but my baby only lived a few days. Soon after that I was attacked with ir¬ ritation of the b’adder, choking spells, heart palpitation, fainting spells and great nerv¬ ousness. In this terrible condition I was con¬ fined to my bed eight months. I thought I was dying many times. My dear little help¬ less children, in kisbing me at night, often said: “Pleased don’t die, mamma;” or, "Papa, don’t let mamma die to-night.” My little boy brought me a Ladies’ Birthday Almanac one day, and after reading it I decided to try the Wine of Cardui Treatment. I have taken two bottles of McElrea’s Wine of Cardui and three small packages of Thedford’s Black Draught, and am better than I have been for ten years. I am visiting my neighbors on foot, doing my work with ease, and eat better than I have for years. God only knows how grateful I am for this wonderful medicine that has worked this great transformation. Mbs. Salli* Collins, Mo Henry, Ky. FITS stopped free by Db, Kline’s Great Nerve Restorer.

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. LOUISVILLE. NY- NEW YORK, N Y- Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report to Powder Baking gSk pu&e Cotton Still King. The chief value of corn is as an ani¬ mal food crop, and not as a crop. The farmer’s money in corn is export in putting the product into fat hogs and big mules. It is possible to make every bushel bring double the market price of corn by utilizing it otherwise than as a primary money crop. Par¬ ticularly is this true in the south, where we need the bacon, and at the same time have an export crop in cot¬ ton. It will be a great oversight on the part of the Texas farmer this year if he does not raise his own bogs and mules. The huge corn crop furnishes a cheap and ready basis. But in the meantime cotton is still king in the south. It is worth $250, 000,000 to the section, as against a possible $ 100 , 000,000 from the corn crop. Other sections may crown a new agricultural monarch, but the old dynasty will continue to reign in the south. If the great staple is in super¬ abundance the very volume brings im¬ mense returns; if the crop is short the increased price secures similar re¬ sults. Corn is a good thing to have, and it is gratifying to see the south¬ ern farmer increasing its acreage. If he will continue to add to his own food crops as a possible and pleasant diversification, his cotton will be so much clear money and make him rich and prosperous only the fabter.— Houston (Texas) Post. Babydom In Russia. Babydom is an interesting subject in Russia. Statistics show that 25 per cent of all babies born in the Russian empire die before they are a year old and 42 per cent before they are 4 years old, and yet the population of that country is increasing at the rate of more than 2,000,000 a year. The cli¬ mate is really an aid to the preserva¬ tion of that vast nation. It is natur¬ ally the survival of the fittest, for only a strong child there lives to grow up amid the hardships of winter and the strange, half-civilized customs sur¬ rounding it.

A voyage to the moon is the latest project which is seriously put forward as the crowning point of the Paris ex¬ hibition of 1900. M. Mantois, its au¬ thor, does not propose to carry pas¬ sengers to the lunar regions in an serial car, but he expects to bring down the moon to the reach of the people whose vision extends, say, six miles from the earth. The plan is to construct a telescope nearly 200 feet in length. The objective glass will have a diameter of something over four feet three inches, the largest in the world. The colossal tube will be placed horizontally, and the image of the moon will be reflected by what is termed a mirror plane, six feet in diameter and fifteen inches thick.
