eat Water e'er Cltjr treats.
Tb ancient Idea of flashing the sew
ers and (ratters of city streets with sea
water it being vigorously discussed In
many places, In England It has com
into inch favor that a proposition ia
now pnt forward to supply the oity of
London with sea water. The water
would be taken from the ea at a spot
not far from Brighton remarkably free
from pollution. It would be pumped
into a reservoir of 10,000,000 gallons.
Thenoe it would be forced into another
reservoir, from which it would gravi
tate to London. The present consump
tion of water in London is 800,000,000
gallons a day, of which 40,000,000 gal
lons it used for municipal purposes.
This might be saved for domestio pur
poses by the Introduction of sea water.
The cost of the project is put at $3, 850,
000, and the sea water would be sup
plied by meter for public purposes at a
fraction of the present cost of fresh wa
ter. One watering of the, streets with
sea water is said to be equal to two, or
even three, with fresh water. It pre
vents the decomposition of street refuse,
it is effective for flushing sewers, and
particularly valuable for the extinction j
of fire. Of its value to health there is
no doubt, and it would be easy to sup
ply it to hospitals and to schools for
swimming baths.
Vegetable Properties.
It may be well to mention that an
eminent physician who has been inves
tigating the properties of the different
vegetables announces that a diet of
carrots ameliorates harshness of charac
ter and reduces nervous irritability.
Peaa create fatty tissue and cnoourage
joyoosness, while turnips have just the
opposite effect Celery taken in excess
causes eye trouble, while cabbage is
beneficial in pulmonary ailments, and
lettuce aids as a sedative owing to the
opium contained in its milky juice,
which keeps the skin clear and fresh.
Red beets are blood producing and will
add plumpness to the thinnest form,
providing they are boiled tender. New
York Journal.
Liberty, Equality mad Fraternity.
Liberty is of no value in itself, but is
valuable only as a means to equality,
and equality that did not eventuate in
fraternity would perish. Equality will
enlarge itself to the bonds of humanity
as fast as people learn that in likeness
there is the only rest and comfort and
pleasure that men can know, and frater
nity will come as a result of the same
conviction. W. D. Howells in Century.

M. M. Nicholson, who lives at tne
corner of Curran and Anderson Sts., At

It first appeared on bis lip and resem

and soon began to destroy the flesh.
His father and uncle had died from
Cancer, and be songht tbe best medical
aid in different cities, but it seemed im
possible to check the disease. Several
operations were performed but the can
cer always returned. This continued
for years until the partition in his nose
and his entire up

away. AU treat
ment having proved
- futile, he looked
upon death as the
only relief.
"Some one re

-.he says, "and

it was not long be

A trip through the hop-growing dis

vines, and as yet they are free from
pests of all kinds.

that the airship oan be lifted from the
