A LIE WHICH BECAME FAMOUS.

Oiift T thm Saying "And It Wacn't a Good Bay tor Piwki, Either.' In 1860, thtf year before the war, a party of Northern Illinois hunters hied themselves to the lakes of Minnesota for an annual duck task of a few weeks, says the St Louis Globe-Democrat, making the journey to SI Paul, which was at that time but little more than a frontier village, by a steamer from Dubuque, Iowa, Among the party was a chap, named Truax, a proverbial liar, but a jolly, good-natured fellow withal, whose predominant weakness was read ily excused, if not entirely ov erlooked, by those who knew him well. , Abe, that being liis first name seemed to struggle more recklessly and naturally with the truth when talking about his prowess as a hunter of game than on any other subject. One afternoon, as the steamer was plowing its way through Lake Pepin, a number of the male passengers were seated forward on the boiler deck in little knots, passing the time away in conversation Abe was a prominent figure in one of the groups, and had already astonished himself fairly by the wnoppers he had successfully got of, whan the subject of duck hunting, the mission which himself and friends were out on, was advertised. "I've shot a few ducks in my time," broke in Abe, during a momentary hfll in the talk:. "How many did you ever kill in one day?" queried a crosseyed passenger from down about Burlington. You may not believe met sir," replied Truax, "but in the late fall of '57 I west out alone one morning about seven miles, with my dog and gun, and brought home 200 ducks bv actual count, and it wasn't a very good day for ducks, either ! "You did that all alone, and in one trip?" asked the cross-eyed man as he put down some figures on an onvelope with a pencil he had carelessly taken from his vest pocket "Yes, sir, I did, said Truax, with a tinge of ill-humor to his tone. "Those ducks would weigh about two and a half cands apiece, wouldn't they? casually remarked the Burlington man, as hfc kept on making characters with his pencil. "I should say they would, remarked the unsuspecting Abe. "Well, then," said the persistent querist, "you killed just 650 pounds of ducks; and if you can tell me how one man is able to lug that weight seven miles, and cany a gun at the same tinw, you can do something that no other liar in the Northwest can match. Abe reflected a minute, and with "That's a whopper, isn't it, gentlemen?" he invited the whole party in to the bar to take something at lua expense. The remark "And it wasn't a good day for ducks, either,9 was used b&nteringly on Truax during the remainder of the trip, and in time it became com mon on the Mississippi, whence it spread until it became one of the proverbial Americanisms of the times. Imparities Found in Ice Questions as to tne dangers to health connected with, the use of ice taken from certain localities are of great interest, the more so since disease produced by the use of contaminated ice could rarely be traced to its true cause, which in most cases would probably not be even suspected. Attention was, in fact, not called to this matter until 1675, when an epidemic of diarrhea at Bye Beach, N- H., was clearly traced to ice cut from a contaminated pond. Since that rtime the same cause has been suspected or proved in about half a dozen cases of occurrence of typhoid fever or of diarrhea. Certainly this is a very small proportion of baa results as compared with the almost universal

use of ice, especially when we remember , that people will cut ice from streams or ponds that they would conaider too impure to furnish drinking water, because they think freezing purifies water. While the purification of water by freezing does occur to a considerable extent, it is by no means complete or to be relied on. Freezing does not destroy the vitality of some bacteria, nor does it specially tend to free the water from dead organic mattor. That freezing will not destroy the life of the bacillus of typhoid fever is shown by Dr. Billings. It will be seen from what has been said that when a health authority is called on to decide whether the water of a particular stream or pond is or is not so impure that ice cut from it will probably be dangerous to health, it can only proceed e;a probabilities, since it will very rarely be possible to prove that ice taken from that particular locality, or even the water from the same place, has caused disease. Nevertheless, these probabilities may be quite sufficient to warrant the forbidding the sale of ice taken from a particular spot This seems to have been, the case as regards ice cot from Onondaga Lake, which the city Board of Health of Syracuse, in New York, forbade to be sold for any use which would bring it into direct contact with articles of iood or drink The firm engaged in packing and selling th's ice objected to this interference witu their business, wherewpoa Mr. James T Gardner investigated the matter for the State Board of Health, which has published his report. Mr. Gardner found that Onondaga Lake is contaminated with sewage; that the contamination is increasing from the sewers of Syracuse, and that ioe taken from it contains living bacteria of various kinds, and about ten per cent, of the sewage matters in the water from which it is formed. He, therefore, approves the order of the city Board of Health, and the propriety and wisaom of this decision can hardly be questioned. Sanitary Eng ineer. A patexted invention, called the brachioaigraph, is claimed to render the art of writing possible in the absence or aselassness of the hand. It is therefore serviceable in cases of writera' cramp and of paralysis f the fingers. The instrument is of simple construction asd consists of a long, light strip of iwj, cuivod so as to be easily adapted the ulnar border of the forearm. This jsplint is sewed into a easing of supple leather materia!, shaped so as to form s kind of gauntlet or sleew for the forearm. The gauntlet is fastened to the forearm byari injpnieos arrangement oi screw-hooks

and studs, allowing of an adjustable degree of pressure. The bar or splint carries at its lower end a mecbani&m with a universal joint by means of which a pen may ba held in any desired position. With this instrument the act of writing is performed by the muscles of the arm and shoulder, while those of the digits and thumb are thrown completely out of use. It is easy to acquire the necessary dexterity in the use of the invention for legible "handwriting." Look Out for Yeur Wells.. It becomes more and more evident each year, says the Amirican Agriculturist t that much of the sickB.ee s prevalent in the country is directly attributable to the quality of the water. By carefully studying the matter ft is found that in nine cases out of ten typhoid fevers originate in families whose water supply is from a well into which impure water coires. This may be fiom the farm-yard, and qu'te generally such is the case. For some years the water in a well near the house may be pure and wholesome, but by-and-by the soil between it audi the barnyard will become so impregn cited with pollution that an unhealthy quality will be imparted to it, and disease will result from its use. 'Jhis is almost sure to be the case when the distance between the two is not great, because, as a general thing, the bottom of the well is lower than the yard, and the drainage from the latter will extend in all directions through the most porous strata of soil, and when it reaches the well it will naturally flow into it as a reservoir. No matter how pure the -water may have been when the well was first du?, sooner or later it will be contaminated by water flowing through the soil from barnyards and cesspools located anywhere near it. We have in mind a case in which four children died from diphtheria. An examination by the physician proved that the slops from the kitchen had so filled the soil for a distance of twenty feet bet weed the back door, out of which they were thrown, and the well, that the water in the latter was polluted by foul gases, and from the use of it diphtheria, had certainly resulted. When making a well hare it, if possible, above the barn-yard, and let the drainage be from

it rather than into it. Arrange a place for slops, with cement bottom and sides, from which glazed pipes., cemented together, ailow the unhealthy matter to flow back and away from the well. It Broke Up the Game. In 1862 six railroad conductors sat down to enjoy a game of draw in a room in the second story of a bui ding locatedabout where the National Hotel now stands. Having no poker chips they utilized watermelon seeds. The man who acted as banker placed the melon seeds in a glass goblet, after counting them, as the floor was well covered with seeds which could boused by any player who might run short. After proceeding a few minute the goblet cracked, making a shitrp report which did not attract much attention, however. The seeds were placed in another goblet which shortly afterward cracked with quite a sharp ring. At this one of the players shook hie. head and said : "Boys, that's enough for me. I'm through." The others laughed at him and insisted on his continuing the game, but no go; superstition had close hold on him. The third goblet was then filled with the seeds and terminated with the same crack as the two preceding goblets, and so on u:itil the sixth and last goblet in the room had cracked. Several who wee members of the party now reside in Mian t a, and some of them are yet running passenger trains and can vouch for the

correctness of the story I have told. I wish some one would explain the affair. Maybe we can get the fac ts when the glass factory begins to run. A tlanta Constitution. v The Chances a Woman Has t M arry A man who has studied the various phases of the matrimonial market has come to the conclusion that every woman has some chance to marry; it may be one to fifty, or it may be ten to one she will Representing a woman's entire chance at 100, he has made out the following table to show the chance at certain points of time: Between the ages of 15 and 20 years, 14 per cent. Between the ages of 20 and 25 years, 52 per cent. Between the ages of 25 and 30 years, 18 per cent. Between the ages of 30 and 35 years, 15 per cent. Between the ages of 35 and 40 years, 3f per cent Between the ages of 40 and 15 years, 2 per cent. Between the ages of 45 and 50 years, of 1 per cent. Between the ages of 50 and CO years, of 1 per cent. After 60 it is 1-10 of 1 per cent., or 1 chance in 1,000, New York Observer.

Salaries of New York Teachers. The salaries paid New York teachers are scarcely princely, when one considers the eost of living here. The salaries of the male assistant teachers range from $2,016 to $1,MQ. The salaries of the female assistants range from $1,116 to $4(33 in male grammar schools, from $10S6 to $ti03 in mixed grammar schools, from $1,056 to $603 in female grammar schools, and from $900 to $504 in primary departments and schools. Principals salaries run up as high as $3,500 or $1,000. All male assistant teachers of less than one year's experience receive 8720 the first year, and females $40& Mem York Journal White Malleable Iron Ore.

Curious Timepieces. A visit to the Patent Office in Washington, not long ago, gave uei, more than ever before, a realissiug sense of the number and variety of mechanical contrivances which have been produced for the purpose of marking the passage of time. Clocks of all sizes and uhape may be seen with all kinds of motive power, from the simplest to the most complex and costly. Of these none are of more general interest, perhaps, than the clocks which consist of a plain glass dial suspended by a line thread or wire, having the motive power an ordinary watch movement concealed in the central bars of the hands, or in the enlarged counterbalance of one ot them. Another contrivance in this line consists of two circular plates of glass mounted in a metal frame or border, and connected by a slender column or foot to a pedestal. In these the figures are marked an the front plate, which is cemented to a brass rim, toothed as a crowned wheel, and driven by a pinion, the stem of which rises from the works in the pedestal. Where three glass p'atos aro used, the short and long hands are fixed to the second and third plates, and two pinions drive the two head rims of these two plates. An ancient relic of the clock order is now in possession of a citizen of Marietta Wis. It is 235 years old, and keeps good time. The weight which runs the musical part weighs fifty pounds, and the movement in of wood, lead, and iron. It plays a piece every hour, but is :rather hoarse at present from old age. The dial is large, and has the paintings of William Penn describing his history. At the top are five wooden musicians dressed in uniforms, who raise their instruments to their lips as they begin to play. The case is of maple and mahogany. It was made in the year 1649.

The recent royage of the electric launch Volta across the British Channel, from Dover to Calais and hack, is regarded as a scientific success far in advance of what was expected. The Volta is built of galvanized steel plates, and her deck is nearly on a level with the water. Below the deck are placed the electric accumulators. These are little square boxes, about ?xl2 inches, and are wedged closely together to prevent shifting. The propelling power consists of sixty-one accumulators and a. pair of Eeckenzann accumulators, also placed beneath the floor, so that the whole of the boat is available for passenger accommodation The power of the motors may be varied at will st from four to twelve-horse power, while the screw propeller makes from six hundred to one thousand revolutions a minute. When the boat reached Calais ;it was found that the amount of electricity remaining in the accumulators w arranted the return journey in being attempted. The speed reached was fourteen miles an hour, and so noiseless was the little vessel that in midchannel the pilot, observing a seagull asleep on the water, steered close to it, and one of those on board caught the bird by the neck and brought it alive to Dover.

Anothkk method of utilizing paper is the process of manufacturing paper rails, which is to be adopted in the paper-rail works at St, Petersburg. It is claimed that these can be made at onethird the price of ste&l rails, and that uhey are very durable, the paper being condensed by great pressure. Being lighter than metal they can be carried and laid at much less cost. They are made of greater length than ordinary rails, and the oscillation, and wear and tear of rolling stock will be proportionately diminished. The question of durability will be the principal ie to be settled. Hoards oil Health indorse Red Star Cough Cure as a speedy and sure remedy for coughs and colds.
