Home Distilled Water.
Buy a private still—not a whisky
still, but a machine to make pure
water for home consumption. This is
the latest fad. 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.

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.—

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 Trip to the Moon.
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.
