Mark and the lUaldem

At an evening party in London a gashing young thing was introduced to Mark Twain. "Oh, Mr. Clemens J" she said. "Now please do tell me! I've been thinking of taking up writing, but I am so afraid of that dreadful writer's cramp—did yon ever have it?" 2 "I did, madam." "And what did yoo take for it|" "Beefsteak." "Jnst fawncy. Bnt how and where did yon apply it?" "Broiled and internally," said Clemens gravely. "I can't answer for its being a panacea, bnt it cured the kind of cramp I bad, all right *'—Criterion,

Sterilized Water For the Army. Sleeping on the ground and drinking the water from wells aud streams in Cuba will expose our soldiers to greater dauger than Spanish bullets. It is said the government may provide apparatus for dis tilling water for our camps and garrisous in Cuba, as it now does on our men-of-war. Distilled water is really sterilized water, and so is filtered water.

It is somewhat remarkable that the simple process of filtering water through clean sand has a similar effect to the distillation process in removing germs from the fluid, while it leaves the water more potable, as distilled^lrtvater is not as pleasant to drink.

If siad. gravel and earth filter the wat#r which seeps through it, why is not the drainage from yards into wells purified. It is, until the ground becomes clogged by years of drainage. The sand in filters at water works is taken out, turned over, aired and washed, but the earth around wells cannot be. It is a curious contrast that bright, clear water from a deep well may be full of contamination, while the foulest water from a running sewer after filtration through sand can be purer and more wholesome. The Terre Haute doctors know this for they recommend the use of the filtered Wabash water, the board of health knows it, and traces the improved health of the city to the increased use of filtered water. Every house iu the city can have this perfect water, but many yet are without it, while the pipes run close to them.
