BECAREFUL OF THE WELL.
(From our own Correspondent )
OTTAWA, August 0, 1897.
There are very few of the agricultural
questions that do not require the chemist's
aid for their satisfaetory solution. This
fact would be impressed most forcibly upon
the visitor to the laboratories of the Central
Erperitnental Farm, During my periodical
visit at the farm; a talk with the chemist,
Prof. P. T. Shutt, upon the sub ject of well
waters, was the prinukajeot in view. In
reply to a question es to the nature of the
iovestigatioos then going on, Mr.Shutt enu-
merated the following, amongst others then
in pmgress : Determining the amount of
immediately available plant food in a num-
ber of tipical Canadian soils,—these results
would furnish information for the profitable
treatment of the soihi ; the inalyeis of barn-
yluelmanure,preserved by different methods,
in order to ascertain the bestplan of keeping
and using this fertilizer,—thia being a most
extensive and practically useful piece of
work, I propose at some future time to give
more of tts detaik and conclusions • estima-
tion of the nitrogen, an essential eement of
fertility, stored up in s. crop of cloven—an-
other very important and practical question
to farmers; the analysis of various grasses
grown on the Central Farm, at different
polio& of growth in order to find their rela-
tive food -value and the right time to cut
them for hay; and the examination of well
waters from farms. Theme by no means ex-
haust the list, but they are sufficient to
show the character of chemical work ap-
plied to farming, and that these scientific
investigations carried on by the Dominion
Government are eminently practical in
their nature, and of immediate usefulness to
our farming population. It was a fearfully
hot day at the farm laboratories -86 degrees
in:the shade—and it did not seem to make
one any cooler to watoh the boilings of the
retorts and flasks which were going on all
around amongst the various pieces of appa-
ratus. One piece of apparatus,consisting
mainly of glass, seemed particuarly busy,
boiling and bubbling, and condensed -water,
or something that looked like it, trickling
out of a glass tube at one end, specially at-
tracted the attention.
"We are analyzing a well water from
Quebec Province," said the chemist, "and
since you ask I will give you some informa-
tion of what we have done and what we
have found out in the matter of well waters
from Cenadian farm homesteads. It is
difficult to imagine any question of greater
or more vital importance than the one of a
pure water supply. Our natural wateis, as
found in Canadian lakes and springs and
streams, are unsurpassed in quality and are
amongst the purest in the world. But the
vast amount of analytical data accumulated
in our laboratories during the past nine
years (for we have examined hundreds of
samples) shows unmistaktObly that a very
large percentage of wells in rural parts are
most seriously polluted: .What is the na-
ture of the contamination? It is evidently
of the character of drainage from the barn-
yard, farm buildings, privy and similar
sources. In other words; the well receives
the inflow of exchementitinus matter.
"You ask how does such particularly
affect the health of •the person drinking
such water? Well, in the first place,ibed
_waters of the kind I have referred to ki!the
chief agent in spreading typhoid fever and
many other serious and often fatal infections
diseases. Such water popesses all condi-
tions favorable to the growth of disease
germs, for they feed upon excrementitious
matter. Even if such a disease were not
communicated tothedrinker, I hold that the
use of polluted water is decidedlY injurious
to both man and beast. Its action is mustin-
sidious, and its consequences are frequently
not observed ueetil long after it has made
some grave attack upon ,the constitution.
Diarrhea indigestion, sick headache, lassi-
tude and like, may frequently be trated
to the use of itnpure water.
"])o I consider such water injurious to
stock? Most certainly I do. Good health
and thrift are dependant upon an ample
upply of pure water. Untainted milk,
first-class butter and cheese cannot be pro-
duced upon the farm where polluted water
is used. It should be remembered that be-
cause cows may like a certain water it is no
guarantee of its good quality; indeed, the
salt (as that contained in the urine pollut-
ing the well) in contaminated waters seems
to attract rather than repel animals. I at-
tribute the reason of so large a number of
wells being polluted to the fact that farmers
have been in the habit of locating the well
in the barnyard or under one of the farm
buildings; in fact, in such a position that
it couhf not fail to act as a cess -pit. The
very stiffest of stiff clays will, in time, be-
come saturated with filth, allowing pollu-
tion of the well. Of course, in sandy soils
it is not long before the drainage matter
finds its way into the well.
"And now, having said so much, let me,
in conclusion, offer a little advice upon the
subject. In the first place oink the well at
a safe distance from all possible sources of
contamination. Never dig a well in the
barnyard or under a building containing
animals. Keep out surface water by stone
or brick work, cemented to the level of the
ground water line. Protect the well by
means of a tight fitting top, projecting above
the surface ef the surrounding well. Thor-
oughly -lean out the well from time to
time; small animals, such as frogs and
mice, frequently cause mach trouble. Never
throw slops or garbage near the well. Don't
use the well as a cold storage for milk—an
accident might necessitate a thorough clean-
ing out of the well. Wash the dairy ves-
sels at some distance from the well, and
provide a trough or drain for the wash
water to run away. Careful attention to
such matters as those I have suggested will
assuredly bring about an improvement in
our farm water supply, and will go far to-
wards contributing to the healthfulness of
the community and success to the farmer."

of the "(olden Dustman." Yet building
went on, until in 1873 there were 8,132
miles of streets and 528,794 inhabited
houses. During the Queen's lifetime cobble
,railways have almost disappeared. Cabs
and omnibuses have come into vogue, rail-
ways have supplanted the stage coach; the

rivalled its evil reputation ; Temple Bei has

London Under Queen Victoria.
It is a curious feature in the growth of
London that it has atwa,ye been considered
to be overbuilt. As far back as 1580 it was
forbidden to erect new buildings where
none had existed before in the memory of
man "—the reasons given being that "it
eras calculated to encourage the existence
of the plague ; create a trouble in governing
such multitudes ; bring about a dearth of
victuals ; multiplying of beggars, and an
inability to relieve them ; an increase of
aaisans more than could live together; im-
poverishing other cities for lack of inhabi-
tants." The decree also stated that "lack
of air, lack of room to walk about and
shoot,etc.,arose out of too crowded a city."
But it was impossible to stem the increasing
tide of population. The only result was to
cause overcrowding, which proved a still
greater evil than over -population, and led
up to the horrors of thinplague year. Even
at the beginning of this ceatury, when Lon-
don consisted of 160,000 buildings, standing
in 8,000 streets, it was declared that London
was overgrown and too big ; and there was
an outcry because the parishes had to pay
Z10,000 per annum to scavengers for remov-
ing ashes and refuse from the houses; wheres
as in former years the scavengers, used to
pay the parishes £25,000 for the privilege

A Hot Day in Australia.
Here is a description of a burning Aus-
tralasian day: it was more like a revela-
tion from another world yesterday than a
phenomenally hot day, for -when morning
broke the town was literally a huge oven,
over which the skies hung inverted in flam-
sheets of brass. The streets were yellow
tornadoes of whirling dust, whilet waves of
heat, that seemed almost visible, met., the
diseomfitted wayfarer everywhere; and very
early in the day many people emphatically
professed to have solved the problem of
whether life WM worth living. • The wind
was from the north, and the heat from
everywhere, and towards seven , o'clock the
rays of the sun, which could only now and
then be seen, showing fiery red from the
blinding haze that enveloped it, beat down
still more fiercely. At that hour the ther-
mometer registered 103 degrees Of heat in
the shade, whilst in the sun the mercury
showed 148 degree& The wind was raging
along with great velocity, and when matters
were at their most endurable pass the force
of it was registered as 55 miles an hour."

EMLESIASTIOAL HISTORY AS EXPOUNDED BY
AN UP TO -DATE CHILD.
He was my little nephew, and I offered to
entertain him one Sunday afternoon.
"Remember, you are only to let him
play Sunday things, or tell him Bible
stories," said my deter, who holds anti'
continental views on the Sabbath, as she
weht out.
His first suggestion was to play at horses,
which, of course, 1 negatived, as per my in-
structions. ar
"Then let's play at being a Salvation
Army band, with tny trumpet, and the tea-
tray, for a drum."
This ingenious device to get making a
noise I also declined to countenance.
"Teddy." I said, "do you know much
about the Bible ?"
" Lots," he replied. " I bet I koow
more than you. Who was the first- man
mentioned in the Bible ?"
"Every person knows that," I said.
"Adam, of course," He shrieked with de.
light.
• Wrong ! wrong !" he cried. "There's
two men mentioned before Adam."
Two r; I said. 4' There is nothing of
the kind,"
"The first mart mentioned in the author-
ized version," he continued, "was James
the First of England, and the next man
mentioned was Chap. one."
"Clever boy !" I said, sarcastically.
"Who is the smallest man in the Bible ?"
he asked next.
But I knew that one, or thought I did."
• Bildad, the Shuhite (shoe height)," I
replied.
- Here he had another fit of chuckling.
"Wrong again," he said. "There's a
smaller man than him. -
" Who ?"
"The man that slept in his watch."
"Teddy,'.! I said, you must not behave
like this on Sunday."
"Just one more," he said, pleadingly.
"Go ahead, then."
"When was Paula doctor ?"
Then I took Teddy across my knee, and
sounds of woe arose, so I shut him in his
room, and, taking my hat and stick, made
for the door, but Sarah, the maid, met me
in the hall.
"What's wrong with Master Teddy, sir?"
she asked.
" He's got a little hurt," I said. "Noth-
ing very much."
Where is he hurt ?" she -disked.
" In his back," I cried, and bolted.

New Use for Electricity.
In London the Scotland Yard Police, as
a result of a raid upon the premises of a
convicted felon, have just taken possession
of a number of burglar's tools, Which, for
grength, beauty, ingenuity and finish,have,
it is believed, no equals in Europe. The
took mainly consist of appliances for boring
and breaking open safes. Among them is
an implement made of the finest steel, de-
signed to be worked by means of an electric
battery, the latter being contained in a
leather case, slung around the shoulders
after the fashion of an opera glass. The
battery, in addition to providing power for
drilling, furnishe3 a small electric light,
which -is really a miniature bull's-eye, by

What do Your Children Bead.
Do you know ? Yi;T know What they
eat and are careful to provide the right
food and plenty of it. But do you know
parents what your children read ? Do you
take pains to know what they read, and
provide them with the right kind of read-
ing matter and plenty of it? Has it ever
occurred to you that to be indifferent in
this respect, or to deny your Children good
reading matter, is to starve them mentally,
or perhaps poison them? Parents never
think of starving their children physicially.
To poison them or starve them would be in-

The Wrong Word.
There was a justice ot the peace in a
south-western town who was apt to confuse
long words in a mannet which used to ex-
cite merriment in the court room.
On one occasion e negro who was a no-
torious thief of live stook, was brought be-
fore this justice for trial, and in spite of
convincing proofs spinet him pleaded "not
guilty." He added an, asseveration of his
innocence on all previous occasions.
" Come, Ned," said the justice, shaking
his bead gravelly, " it won't do to deny it.

borhood when you wer4 only a boy, for I

A Dinner to Horses.
One of the most curious dinners ever
served was recently given at the Home of
Rest for Horses in London. At this home
horses that have been reseuea from brutal
masters, if young, are nursed back to health
and strength, and if old are allowed to finish
their days in comfort. The dinner was
provided by Mrs. Gore, the wife of a clergy-
man, who has spent a good deal of her own
money in the cause, to which has been add-
ed the contributions of fellow -enthusiasts.
The menu consisted of carrots, cut in slices,
apples chopped, sugar in lumps of conven-
ient size, and brown and white bread baked
in small loaves. Wine was not furnished,
Mrs. Gore being a temperance woman, but
in its stead he supplied an excellent fillip
intheway of currying, administered by
grooms,
Among the diners were two
mokes, wh ch had been rescued from costar -
mongers, quite • the fattest and happiest
inokes in all England.
Queer Effects of Sunshine.
Stevenson's tubular bridge over the
Menai Straits is 400 feet linen The heavi-
est train passing over it bends it but half an
inch, yet o4I a hot July day, after the sun
has been shining on it for Some hours, it is
found to b4 bent an inch and a half below
its usual herizontal line. And the heat of
the sun not only ads on metal but on -stone
also, for this Washington Monument, which
is 555 feet high, has been proved to be
about two inches higher in the evening than
in the morning of a sunny day: But the
queerest effect of sunshine ever known was
noticed at Plymouth. To lay the founds.
tion of a sea wall the workmen .had to de-
scend in a. diving bell -which was stupidly
fitted with heavy circular convex glasses in
the top. The sea was calm, and those
glasses eo concentrated the sun's rays that
one of the workmen had his clothes set on
fire, and that at no leu than 25 feet below
the surface.

The Same, But Different.
"Pat," said the minister, "1 think it a
pity to see this lovely summer weather pass-
ing away, wasted, as one might say. So I
have been thinking if you began work at
five o'clock each morning, and did not leave
off till seven at night, much good would be
accomplished, and then it is merely the
matter Of two hours of difference."
"Shure, air, you're right in a sense, and
I have been thinkin', too. Suppose I begin
work at seven in the mornin' and shtop at
foive at noight,it would do a power of good,
and then, you see, its only the matter of
two hours of difference."

Spmpathy.
Let us cherish sympathy- By attention
and exercise it may be improved in every
man. It prepares the mind for receiving
the impreatrions of virtue, 'aid without it
there can be no true politeneas. Nothing is
more odious than -the , insensibility which
wraps a man up in himself and his own con-
cerns, and prevents his being moved with
either the joys or the sorrows of another.
This inhuman temper, however common,
seems not to be natural to the soul of man,
but to derive itself from the evil habits of
levity, selfishness or pride'and will, there-
fore be easily avoided by those who culti-
vated the opposite habits of generosity,
humanity and goodnature. Of these ami-
able affections the forme of common civility
and the language of polite conversation are
remarkably expressive ; a proof that good
breeding is founded in virtue and good
sense, and that a kind and honest heart
is the first requisite to an engaging deport-
ment.
Clerks.
There are two kinds of clerks. One is in
the business ,Simply to make what little
money he can. He takes no particuler in-
terest in it, attends his duties more like an
automaton than a clerk presumably with
ambition, Such a clerk will never be worth
more theta a minimum salary, because third-
rate clerke, such as helm, are a drug on the
market. The other species of clerk may be
110 1110q3 active in his attendance upon cus-
tomers, but he lays plans to become more
useful. If he sees where an improvement
can be made he makes it. In all his deal-
ings with customers he cndeavore to make a
good impression on them, so that they will
prefer to be waitednpon by him. He en-
deavors to give them just a little better ser-
vice than the general run of clerks. This is
the first step; when customers walk by
several other clerks and seek out one par-
ticular one, that one has started on the high
road to success.

Don't talk to much to Baby.
"What, not talk to my baby !" exclaimed
the young mother, who sat holding her
three -months -old baby, and chatteringto it
with the fond foolishness of which young
mothers are capable. "No, my dear; don't
talk to him so much, not nearly eo much,"
replied the older woman. "Dear as he is
you must not forget how delicate in every
way a tiny baby is." The young mother
was sobered, but not convinced. "How can
it possibly hurt him?" she asked. "He can-
not understand me, and I do so love to eee
,'him smile and answer my talk with his
happy look." "Which proves that he does
understand, and in his way replies to your
loving talk ; and it is thatewhich 1b the
strain. You take care to feed the baby
4vith the greatest exactness, and to keep
bim clothed daintly and comfortably, and
that is right. His brains however, are just
as weak and undeveloped as is his body.
What this small mind needs most is reat,
and when you talk to him the taxon hismen--
tality is beyond his strength. A young baby
cannot be kept to much like a little animal;

, A Trick hat Failed.
The following story is borrowed frorn an
exchange :— In a hotel in Berlin there was
a night watchman who did _not take kindly
to the system, adopted a few years ago; re-
quiring him to go through the hotel at cer-
tain hours and touch a set of electric but-
tons. After much thought he rigged ui an
automatic arrangement on several of the
buttons, so that they would report at ,essr-
tain hours. Soon the button system get so
out of order that the management aboliShed
-it, and a pedometer was given to the watch-
man,which would register every ste he
took. All went well the first two nig ts ;
but on the third morning the old man was
missing. On search being made, he was
found sound asleep in the engine room, and
the pedometer so attached to the piston rod
of the engine that with every stroke it glit-
tered a step. It had been travelling all
night, and when taken off it registered two
hundred and twelve miles.

Spontaneous Piety.
A Nonconformist minister timidly sug-
gested to his stern-faced elders one Sabbath
morning, after service, that the roof of the
Mission Hall was sadly in need of repair&
He thought it would be wise to invite sub-
scriptions witlinut delay. One of the eld-
ers, a little, bald-headed stem of pompesity,
pooh-poohed the idea, saying that no te-
pairs were necessary; the roof being good
enough for him waelood enough for every-
body else. The mipieter begged his objector
to accompany him 'to the hall, where he
might view the roof more thoroughly, As
the procession of black coated gentlemen
moved up to the hall a piece of plaster in
the ceiling became dislodged, and fell with a
sharp crack straight upon the shiny pate ot
our pomplcms elder. "The roof -does need
mending," he exclaimed, rubbing his head ;
and then, as if to atone for his former op-
position, he added—" Parson put me down
for five pounds." The minister raise his
eyes folded his hands, and said i an
uneetious whisper—" 0 Lord, hit him
again !"

Industry.
Man must hai-e occupation or be miser-
able. Toil is the price of sleep and appe-
tite, of health and enjoyment. The very
necessity which overcomes our natural sloth -
is a blessing. The whole world does not
contain a briar or thorn which divine mercy
could have spared. We are happier with
the sterility, which -we can overcome by in-
dustry, than we could have been with spon-
taneoes plenty and unbounded profusion.
The body and the mind are improved by
the toil that fatigues them. The toil is a
thousand times rewarded by the pleasure
which it bestows. Its enjoyments are pe-
culiar. No wealth can purchase them, no
indolence can taste them. They flow only
from the exertions which they repay.

How to Choose Your Husband.
Don't choose him because he is rich.
Riches are his tailor's work, not his. Don't
choose him because he is the handsomest
man you know, and all the other girls are
wild about him. Don't choose him because
he's the first man that has ever asked you.
Don't choose him because he dances well.
You wont spend the rest of your life in a
ball -room. Don't choose him just because
he's rich. Riches have a trick of suddenly
taking to themselveswings sometimes.
Cheese him because he has a good temper
and a kind heart. These outlast all the
good looks in the world, and are worth a
