Further back in the depths of the | cave are stone huts which were tn | hablited fer a considerable time by tu bercular patients.

NOT WHAT MOTHER EXPECTED | | Teacher’s Message Sent by Littie | Clarence by No Means the Kind She Looked For, Clarence recently made his debut @s a Sunday school scholar. When he came home his father and mother walt ed to hear a report of his experiences, | but Clarence evidently was too much dazed by them to begin, “ “Well, dear,” sald his mother h fully, “did you say the text? “Yes, mother.” “And did you remember the story of the lesson? “Yes, mother, I said it all off by heart.” “And did you put your penny ip the basket? “Yes, mother.” Clarence’s mother caught him up and hugged him ecstatically. “Oh, you little precious!” she ex- claimed. “Your teacher wust have been 80 proud! I know she just loved you, She said something tu you, didn't she?" “Yes, mother,” “IT knew 1 with a proud glance at Clarence's father over Ciurence’s head “Come, darling, tell mother what the teacher said to mother’s little man.” “She said for me to bring two cents next Sunday.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Copper a Water Purifier. The use of copper sulphate for the disinfection of reservoirs and the de | struction of algae und noxious germs | In water has led to much discussion j of the old idea that copper ts danger ous to health, comments the Washing- ton Star. An official of the Depart } went of Agriculture maintains that a change has come over scientific opin idp on this subject. Strange as it may seem, he says, there is not an suthen the case of copper pulsoning on record, either in this country or abroad, and he adds that toxicoiogists and physi- ologists who have sumiciently studied the subject agree that copper, in the amount used for purification of water, is harmless. On account of the many defects in the practical use of filtra- tlon plants he regards purification of water supplies by copper as a prefer- able method, or at least, as u safe auxiliary, j Composed for Washington. “Hail Columbia” has the honor of having been composed for President Washington, The father of his coun- | try was fond of the play and some sists of an Ointment which Quickly Relieves by local application, and the Internal Medicine, a Tonic, which assists | in tmproving the General Health Sold by druggists for over #0 Years, ¥.

There has been only one attempt that I have ever heard of | to make air separate property.

Under the tutelage of missi naries | equal suffrage has been established among the Tigaras, who annually in | town meeting elect from among them selves the omalik, or council of lead ing men, who tn turn enact the local laws and see tu thelr enforcement among the thousand natives who in habit the region. Originally the omalik was composed of seven men, It 1s recounted. But tt vas found later that five was a better nut From the b *xperiinent the right o: ge was ction of the council. Christmas Was fixed as the day of the election because on that day all of the tribes- ten come Into the settlement for feasting and merry making. The names are written on a blackboard, and the five securing the greatest number of votes are declared elected, while that one of the five who receives the great est number of votes becomes the chief councilman, Spiders and Music, been asserted that Sensitiveness to Tt has possess wusical 801 sme species seem to respoud to the note of the piano, the harp. the flute, aud so on, In a manner sug gestive of their abllity to recognize sounds or the harmenie vibra- tons on which they are based.
