My plate, for the firet time since my marriage, was empty, as I sat down to Ibreakfast, fol* 'my4' husband, who was an early riser, always had a little bouquet to greet me with every morning; frequently I forgot all about it, and left it to be put into water by the servant; this morning I would have treasured ifc most carefully, if he had gathered it. After MessMast I determined to rouse myself, and go and visit some of the poor people in the village, so I filled my basket with some little delicacies for the sick and set out. "Wherever I went it was the same story; all held forth on my husband's goodness and kindness, foe all had been helped by him in some way oi? other, and all loved and respected him. Aa I listened with burning cheeks, I felt as if I was the only person on earth who had treated him with cruel ingratitude, and _ was the very person whom he most loved and cherished. At last I went home, tired and sick at heart; but there was n® one to notice I was pale and worn out, no one to ge. me wine or soup to revive me, no one to make me lie down and rest, as he would liave done had he been ttiere. Oh, how I missed him ! What a fcol I had been! "Was there ever woman loved and cared for as I had been? "Was there ever friend so ungrateful ? Oh.! why had I let him leave me ? I was sure he would never come back. "Why had he gone away ? . : And conscience answered, "You "drove him; he gave you all lie had to give, and in return you gave Mm nothing but cold looks and unkind words; and so he left you, to seek love and sympathy from his mother. " This thought almost maddened me. In fancy I saw her sitting in my place by his side, loving and caressing him, as I had the best right to love and caress aim; I pictured her receiving tenderly """ little loving acts I had received so THE BOSNIANS. A lis wife. I have never been able to find out why I said yes, but I did. Perhaps I thought it a pity to throw away so much love; perhaps it was because he was so terribly in earnest that I dared not refuse him; perhaps lieared hisrpale face/ and his low pleading voice would ever haunt me if I rejected his love ; or perhaps it was because he only asked me to marry him—he did not ask me if I loved him, for I thitck h9 guessed I did not; perhaps it was ali these reasons put together; but anyhow I said yes, and in due time we were married. I ought to have been very happy, for he wasA*,m,ost devoted husband, but I was nol, and, thoughrl did not notice it then, I know now that for the first six months after our marriage he was not happy either. It was all my fault. I either would not or could not love him; I accepted all his devotid- to me as a matter of course, but I made no effort to return it; and I am sure he h&& found out that he had made a mistake in marrying a woman who did not love him. One morning, about six months after our marriage, he told me at breakfast that he intended leaving me alone for a few weeks io stay with his mother, who wasnot very well. He watchedthe effect of this announcement on me, but, though I was really displeased, I concealed my annoyance, and asked carelessly when he would start. He replied, the next day if I had no objection, and so it was settled. He was more affectionate than usual that day, and I was colder than ever; I only once alluded to his journey, and that was to ask if I might have my sister Maud to stay while he was gone. The next morning I was anxious to avoid a. formal parting, so I drove to the station with him; as tiie train moved off, I remembered this was our first parting since our marriage, and I wished I had not been so cold. When I got home the house looked so dreary and empty, and there .was no one to meet me; presently one of the servants came for the shawls, and with her Nero, Mr. Oartwright's retriever, which, when he saw I was alone, set up a howl for his master. I patted him, and tried to comfort him, feeling rebuked by his grief, as he followed me, whining, into the house. Every rgom seemed empty, and each spoke of the absent master; at last I wandered into his study, where he spentiis mornings, and liked me to sit and work; and now I remembered how often I had excused myself, saying I preferred the drawing-room, and this reflection did not add to my happiness. There was a photograph of me standing on his writing-table, and another on the chimaey-piece; on the walls hung two or three of my drawings, which he had begged of me when we were engaged ; indeed the room was full of little remembrances of me; I opened a book I had given him, and in it was his name in my handwriting, and underneath in his own, ""From my darling wife." I laid it down with a sigh, as I thought how carefully he treasured everything I had eyer given him, and how little care I took of all his gifts to me. Everything I attempted, everything I looked at, reminded me of his goodness to me, and of my coldness and ingratitude to him. At last I went to bed, after working myself into a fever of anxiety lest he should not have reached •"•he end of his journey in safety. I at length cried myself to sleep.' The next iaorning I went down to breakfast with a heavy heart, foz I knew 1 could not hear from, him till the next ■ j it seemed so strange to breaMasfc LJU.6 JLJLUUAW _VS TJU-lgi coldly, and now I was seized with a jealous anger against her. I mentally accused her of estranging my husband from me, and of, j trying to win his * iov^; from me, 6S thdugh his heart was* hot large enough for both of us. When Maud arrived in the afternoon, I treated her to along tirade of abuse against mothers-in-law in general, and my own in particular, and I vented all the anger I really felt against myself on the innocent Mrs. Oartwright. "Why, Nelly," said Maud, "Ithought you Iked l&s...£S^'!iwi%htiso-mu:ch, and though*!? h$Y*WJ*'Mfe~m&l~-ybtf._6ven wanted het to live with you, only your husbaa^ery'properly, *asmam_s'sily*^' oTJgecteSi*?'- 7 . -.<..-] ;:■*:..''7..-.,..7.. not know that she would ever entice my husband away from me in this way, or, of course, I should never have liked her." "Beally, Neil, you are very hard on the poor woman; for, as I understand, Mr. Oartwright went to her of his own free will, beeause she was not well, and he thought his company would do her good," said Maud. "Nonsense; I am sure he would never have left me alone unless she had put him up to it," I replied, rather crossly. "The truth is, Nelly, you are so much in love with your husband that you are jealous even of his mother, and you are making yourself miserable about nothing. Why, Mr. Oartwright will be back in a fortnight, and I dare say you will get a letter from him every day ; so cheer up, and let us go for a drive," said Maud. i agreed to this plan, and, giving Maud the reins, I lay back and thought of her words. Was she right, after all ? Was I jealous ? Was I really, as Maud said, in love with my husband ? Had I only found it oat now that I was deprived of his company ? Was this the reason that I could do nothing but inwardly reproach myself for my conduct to him? And the longer I thought the more convinced 1 became that Maud was right—that! was jealous, and that I was in love, as she called it. This knowledge did. not make me happier, for I no. sooner knew I loved him than I longed to tell him so," and nrjke up, as far aa I could, for. ail my former cruelty; for I could call my conduct by no milder word. I passed a sleepless night, and, as I lay awake, I composed various letters of confession, which I resolved to send the following day; but when morning came my pride stepped in, and I began to feel it would be impossible to write, and I settled that I must wait till my husband came home, and then tell him how his absence had altered me. I got up early and walked out to meet the post-man, so anxious was I to get a letter from him; it was the first I had ever received from him since our marriage, and no girl was ever so anxious for, or so pleased with, her first love- letter, aa I was over this. It was a leng letter, full of loving messages and terms of endearment, ail of which cut me to the heart, for they sounded like so many reproaches; in reality I think there was a tone of gentle reproach throughout the letter. He gave me an account of his journey, and of his mother's health, begged me to write to him" a few lines every day; but he said not a word about returning. I spent the morning in answering it, much to Maud's amusement, who, of course, thought I was pouring out volumes of. love and complaints of my temporary widowhood; after tearing up about a dozen sheets of paper, I afc last sent a short note, cool and with no allusions to my misery. The more I tried the more impossible I found it to write any expression of love or penitence, thought! was hungering to do so. _*or a whole week I went on in this way, suffering more acutely every day, and every day receiving long, loving letters from Mr. Oarfcwright, and writing shorfc,-£Qld answers.- r 1 lost my appetite ; I could not sleep at night, and the torture I was enduring made me look so ill that Maud became frightened, and declared she would write and summon my husbandhoxne, and tell him I was pining away for him. I forbade her doing this, so sternly that she dared, not disobey me, foE I was deter- i mined he should never hear from any lips but mine that at last his heart's desire was attained, for I loved him. At last, when he had been away ten days, I could bear it no longer, for I felt I should have brain fever if I went on in this way, so I determined to go to Melton, where Mrs. Oartwright lived, and see my husband. I came to this decision one night, and went into Maud's room early in the morning, to tell her my intention. I expected Bhe would laugh at me, but I think she guessed something was wrong, for she seemed glad to hear it, and helped me to pack a few things and set off in time to catch the morning tram. Ifc was three hours' -journey; they seemed three years to me, for the nearer I got to my husband the more impatient I was to see him. At last we got to Melton—a largish town. Of course, as I was not expected, there was no one to meet me, so I took a fly to Mrs. Oartwright's house, where I arrived about 8 o'clock. I learned afterwards that Andrew was with his mother in the little diawing- room when I drove up, but, thinking I was only a visitor, he escaped into another room, so I found my mother-in- law alone. By her side were some of my husbarid's socks which she was darmng—socks which I had handed over to fche servants to mend, and which I now longed to snatch away from his mother. His desk stood open, a letter to me, which he was writing, lying on it. The servant announced me as Mrs. Andrews, my voice failing as I gave my name, so that Mrs. Oarfcwright held up her hands in astonishment when she saw who ifc was. "My dear! Nelly! Has anything happened? How ill you look! What is it?" she exclaimed. "I want my husband," I gasped, sinking on to a chair, for I thought I should have fallen. Without another word Mrs. Oartwright left the room; I feel sure now she guessed all about it, and I can never thank her enough for forbearing to worry me with questions as to what I had come for. She came back in a few moments with a glass of wine, which she made me drink off, saying she would send him to me at once if I took ifc. I complied, and she went to fetch him; in another minute I heard his step outside the door, and then he came in. "Nellyi:my laver-rBay darling! what is it ?*^=h©£'cried, 'as I rushed into his outstretched arms, and hid my face on his breast, sobbing bitterly. Eor some moments I could not speak; at last I recovered myself enough to sob out: ".Oh, Andrew, my love! my" deaf love! can you ever forgive ine ? I came lb ask you, and to tell you I can't live without you." I would have sfeid more, ,_ ^ . , Y when at length he let me " ' "Wliy They "Resist tlie A"UBt*_3.

The g^eat powei^ and Turkey agreed that Austria should occupy Bosnia and superintend th'"*- reconstruction of the local govei _me*bt. The Austrian commanders issued proclamations announcing that they evise as friends, and that the rights of the people would be respected and their irjtere^ts cared for.

But, despite all that can be said, to the contrary, the genus rusticus, which has by some one fee$n rendered into English and made to mean " rusty cuss," sfcill, largely asserts Itseif in our rural regions—a genus of, the copperas breeches, ginger- cftke-IoV- ing ilk, to whom we owe the racy, soil- flavored smack of original humor, peculiar fco.the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys. Farm life in the West seems to hav6 developed broad, cob—co-humorous ways of speech, and it cannot be denied that much of this humor, coarse though it is, possesses the inimitable charm of outright home manufacture. Through certain of our local Western journals the world has of late caught very distinct glimpses of it. But I am sure that the best Western humor has never yet been reduced to type. It is scattered about in rural neighborhoods, and niost of it is finally lost by being carelessly thrown aside as has been given to and monthly magazines, as Western humor, has been first put through a refining process of double doctoring, by which Something more than a mere modicum of the home flavor has been allowed to exhale. It may be enuhn |eiatedasa rule that the more ignorant class of Western farmers' discovers a far quicker and finer sense of humor than does the somewhat ^educated and refined class. So soon as a smattering of books and newspapers £*ets into a clod, the sharp salt of the earth seems to go out, and there cpm.es self-consciousness and a straining after unnatural effects.— Maurice Thompson, in Scribner for September. A Komauce of the Bor*iero There passed down on the train the other day an aged but smart-looking lady, between 60 and 70 years of age, having with her a little child about 2 years old, whose dark complexion-unmistakably betokened Indian origin and naturally excited some curiosity. The lady was communicative and told a story filled with romance. She was a widow, with an only son livhig in Connecticut.- Her boy grew to be a young man, and, filled with a love of adventure, he forsook the parental roof and came West. His rovings afc last led him to Bismarck, ~D, T., where he became interested with Indian traders, and finally married the "ST&flL'EY. daughter of a chief, union being one child, the" fruit of the At length, in an 2ft 30di|when j* engagement with the hostiles, the young go tliere were other tears upon my cheek besides my own. That was the happiest moment of my life, in spite of my tears; and, before my mother-in-law again joined us, which she discreetly avoided doing till dinnertime, I had poured out all I had to tell into my husband's ears; and I had learned from him that he had left me to try what effect his absence would have on me; for he had felt for some time that my pride was the great barrier he had to overcome to win my love. He had judged right. He was too generous to tell me how much he had suffered from my indifference, but I know it must have grieved him terribly. He is a different man now, he looks so happy, and I know he would not change places with any one on earth. We went back to the rectory the next day. but we could not persuade Mrs. Oartwright to come with us; she said we were best alone, and I think she was right.

Bussian soldiers -went without authority from the Bussian army to the Servian army, but Bussia did not go far enough in the support and encouragement of Servia to arouse the hostility of Austria. But when she declared war against the Turk, the Boumanians, Servians, Montenegrins, Bulgarians and all went into battle at her bidding. In other words, the nationalities making up one great group pf the Slavic family made common cause. In deference to Austria, Bosnia was kept out of the struggle. In the treaty of San Stefano Bussia aimed to unite the Bulgarian branch of the family in one kingdom. England and Austria insisted on a modification which divided the Bulgarians into two states, and Bussia agreed to this the more readily because the Servian branch of the family opposed the extension of Bulgaria, and there was a chance for a family row. In the treaty of Berlin, Servia, Montenegro and Bulgaria received fair treatment, while Bosnia, which had been scarcely mentioned in the treaty of San Stefano, was virtually ceded to Austria. This aroused the indignation of the Servian Pan Slavists, and they went to work to organize resistance. This was not difficult, as the Bosnians are naturally an irritable and vindictive people, and the destruction of then* hopes of a union in the future was good cause for irritation. They argued that it would be better to remain Turkish until the empire finally went to pieces than to become Austrian. That Bussia secretly opposes the cession to Austria cannot be doubted, and that she has encouraged the Turks to resist is possible. If it should appear that the Turkish Government is encouraging the insurgents, war between Austria and Turkey will ensue. Bussia having done her share of the fighting, will, in such an event, stand off and see Austria strike heavy blows at the Ottoman empire, and complete its destruction. On this theory is explained the "general opposition to Austria. Culture aad fflumor in Western "Farea JLife" Quite often, in the course of my rambles, I have found Western farm-houses furnished in exquisite taste from library to kitchen. Ohairs, tables, carpets, curtains and pictures, in many of our country homes, have been chosen with a correctness of judgment rarely evinced by a large class of most excellent* city folk. In the matter of books, a farmer of the JDetfcer class generally selects with great care and with a view to solid mental food. But a taste for light fiction, poetry, music and painting is nofc wanting. It is surprising, indeed, to find how generally the works of the leading British and American poets and novelists are read among the rural classes of the West. The younger American poets are as well known, by their writings, West as East. Even Hawthorne, whom to read and appreciate is high evidence of literary taste and intelligence, has found very many of his sincerest admirers inside the homes of the "Hoosier" and the "Buckeye." Not long since, while sojourning for afortnight or so on the shore of one of our Western lakes, I had the pleasure of spending several evenings at a farm-house where, as a member of the family for the time, I was allowed to hear one of George Eliot's novels read aloud by the farmer's daughter. Everywhere in the West the leading literary journals, both weekly and monthly, are subscribed for are subscribed tor by the farmers, for the pleasure tmd instruction . , of fchejy families, while many of them 1 and father, and a respected citizen* .iUan was killed.

Her diligent inquiries along the Northern Pacific rai^ road brought to her acquaintance a man who had known her son. _or $50 he offered to find the squaw who had been the son's wife. Without going into details of the search it is sufficient to say that the tribe of Indians was found, and with it the squaw and the child. When the lady first saw her grandchild she thought Bhe could discern in his features a resemblance to her son, but when the little one was in the midst of a number of Indian children ifc was hard to discover much difference. Nevertheless, the grandmother of the dus&y little half-breed was bent on having him brought up under the gentle influences of Connecticut civilization, and she qui eted her compunctions cf bartering in human flesh by the exigencies of the ease and the gift of six sacks of flour to the bereaved Indian widow. The old lady departed with her new-found treasure, as happy as a boy with a new toy. She fondled the little Sioux with indescribable affection, and the lifctle chap J responded by making his doting grandma buy him all the peaches and pears that the tfain-boy offered. The picture of youth and old age seldom has more romance done up in a couple than was here presented. It will not be surprising one of these days to hear of that cultivated little savage pulling with the Harvard crew.— Winona {Minn.) Bepubliean. Woman's Bevotioiio The following story, says an exchange, is true in every detail: A milliner of respectability married a dissipated tailor, who abused, neglected and abandoned her. Several years having passed without a clew to his whereabouts, her Mends advised divorce and her acceptance of an advantageous offer in marriage. The woman persistently declined every offer, and, when she had accumulated a sufficient sum, started off in the direction her husband was supposed to have taken when he left her. At Halifax, Nova Scotia, she received a slight clew, and took the steamer to Portland, Me. Thence she followed his track to New York, where she ceased, for many months, to hear of him. Finally she found that he was working in Albany, for wliieh place she immediately started. She was about a week too late; he had been discharged for drunkenness. Spending her day? at lucrative work and her evenings at detective service, the unwearying wife at length discovered that he was employed by a large firm in Chicago. She wrote there, and was answered that her husband had gone away, nobody knew where. Not satisfied with this, she traveled to Chicago and ransacked every concern interested in the tailoring business there, until Bhe met a fellow countryman, who said that her husband, when last heard from, was io Omaha city. She wrote there, got no answer, but went on. There she heard that he had certainly left for San Francisco, where he had obtained a fine place as cutter in a large firm. She, of course, went thither, only to be told that her husband had been several days away from work, and was drinking hard. He had not been even to his boarding- house. This led her to visit the station- houses, and in one of them she ascertained that her husband was in jail for ten days. He was released arid prevailed upon to return home after six years' absence. Ali ttiis occurred eighteen years ago, and to-day the prodigal husband of yore is a strict temperance man in inde- } pendent circumstances, a model husband The Latest Story ConcerniEg His Birth, and Boyihooa. The obscurity surrounding the birth fand parentage of Henry M. Stanley is cleared away by a publication in Every Saturday, a literary journal published in Baltimore. The statement, it says, is on the very best evidence, that of Lis own-mother. The letter is dated High Park street, Sefton Square, Liverpool, Aug, 13, and from it it is learnedthatthe explorer, whose right name is Henry M- Eastaway, was born in New York on the 26th of October, 1843, and was christened by the Bev. Father Smith, at the James •Street Boman Catholic Church. Hip mother was born in Ireland, but for some time resided in Baltimore. His father was a sea Captain, and, when the child was still very young, the family went back to Europe. During a voyage in 1858 the father died, and the boy, .soon after, while sojourning at his aunt's farm afc Olay Castle, had some words wifch his mother, and, in a fit of anger, she said to him: "Weuld to God you were somewhere from me," to which he replied: "Never mind,"mother; as soon as I can get a ship I will take care that-I Ish .11 not come back. Should I get to America I can claina it as my Mrth- place." The boy was as good" as his word, and in the same year (1858) he sailed from Queensfcown in a bark called the Jacob Eillerd, and a few lines for his mother from Lime Bock.asking for her prayers, and acknowledging the filial love he had for her, were the last she has ever heardfrom him. Nor did she ever lay eyes on him again until the day of Livingstone's funeral at Westminster Abbey. In company with a friend, Capt. JUamont, she recognized him among the six'pall-bearers, and "the Captain, to satisfy her, asked some one standing by who the person was, and the reply came, "Why, that is Henry M. Stanley, the man who discovered Livingstone." " I see by what you say that the people in Liverpool will not allow Mr. Stanley to be your lost son, but I think if they were present at the interview we had with him at Mr. Livingstone's funeral they would be of a different; opinion." The poor woman sought her ungrateful son at the Langham Hotel, in London, and was shown into the parlor. Mrs. Eastaway describes-the scene in the following words: "He put out his hand to me, and, said I, ' Are you not a nice son ?' 'Well,' he answered, 'I fancy there must be some mistake here.' -Then,' said I, 'You can rectify it?' 'Well,' he answered, ' any money you want you can have.' 'Why,' said I, 'do you offer me money if I am not your mother ?

That nofching-new-under-the-sun principle applies to the custom of wearing pendants from the lower part of fche ears as well as to many other things. It appears to have taken its rise in the earliest times among the nations of the East. The prophet Isaiah reproaches the daughters of Zionwith being too lavish in ornaments of this kind, and several parts of the scripture make allusion to the spoil of earrings, etc., which was dedicated to the Lord. This trinket of rings and jewels appears to have been as much worn by men in those days as by the same sex that now lays almost undisputed claim to them. It would seem that the ornaments had been used for idolatrous purposes previous to this time, since Jacob, in the injunction he gave to his household, commanded them to put away "the strange gods which were in their hand, and all the earrings which were in their ears." These earrings or jewels, worn by Jacob's household, had probably been consecrated to superstitious purposes, and worn as & sort of amulet, for it is known that rings, whether in the ear or noBe, were first superstitiously worn in honor of false gods, and probably of the sun, whose circular form they were designed to represent, and, indeed, rings and vessels among the heathen nations oftentimes had the image of the sun, moon, etc., engraven upon them. The prophet Hosea speaks of the women of Jerusalem as indulging in the lying vanities of rings devoted to the idol deities. The Boman ladies cf olden times used ear- rings of pearls and of precious sfcones, and not infrequently, like some of the North American Indians, they had three or four of these ornaments pendant to each ear, whicTi, unlike the Indian trinkets Gf the present day at least, were of immense value. The Moors of Africa were also noted iox the use of the same ornaments. Many of the busts o" the heathen gods have been found to have earrings, or holes pierced in their ears for that purpose. Some investigators of antiquity have considered this to be characteristic of the busts of divinities, but tliis opinion does not ajipear to be well founded, as there are many well- known statues of mortals which have the ears pierced. The. fine bust of Oara- calla, in the Villa Borghess, which is affixed to the statue of Hercules, has only the right ear pierced. A Mother's Influence. The late Thomas H. Benton, who was so long in public life and surrounded by temptations, paid the following tribute to his mother: " My mother asked me. never to use any tobacco, and I never touched ifc from that time to the present day; she asked me nofc to game, and I have not, and I cannot tell who is wintiing or who is losing in games that can be played. She admonished me, too, against* hard drinking, and whatever capacity for endurance I may_ have at present, and whatever usefulness I may attain in life, I attribute it to having complied with her \ pious and correct wishes. When I was 7 years of age she asked me not to drink, and then I. made a resolution of total abstinence, at a time when I was sole constituent member of my own body, and that I have adhered to it through a" j I the time I owe to my mother." A oontempokaeVj referring to a contemporary, says: "A word to the wise will nofc reach him." - ••?••• Said an Irishman, in the course o_ aa' eloquent speech,3' ";Mr. -Ohairnian,*t_e gals is the boys to doit." - '.'l • Befoke the " o'" let there appear " Twice twenty-five, and five in rear; One-fifth of tight subjoin, and then : -: You'll find what 'tis that con'iners.-men.T-r'Lpve.- A BinQEBTBiiD man has invented- a- chair which can be adjusted to 8,000 different; positions.

The other: cole, discovering the predicament of its iaate, began running from the house to the ditch, making more than half a dozen trips- before Mr. Hayner's attention-was specially attracted.

By Susan
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I've been experiencing aches in my lower legs and ankles ever since I turned 50. I've looked at lower leg massagers, but they're bulky, so I thought that this might help. First off: the Foot Massager vibrates - not a massager like shiatsu. And boy, does it vibrate - my feet are tingly when I'm finished the session. There are set programs of 5, 10 and 15 minutes which vary the vibrating speeds and heat over the duration - 5 minutes once a day is good for me. When my husband had frozen shoulder, the physical therapist used a vibrating massage with heat - this does the same thing.It comes with a very simple remote control (and battery!) so you don't have to bend down to turn it on. I've got it on wood floors, and it is a bit loud, but you can still hear the TV or conversations over it; not a problem, however, if you remove your feet, it does have a tendency to move along the floor! The nodules or bumps on the machine don't vibrate individually, the whole top section vibrates as a whole. It says you can use it on other areas of your body (arms, legs) but you might have to contort to angle these parts on the machine - it's best for feet.So far, my mother has tried it (78), my sister has tried it (46), and we all love it. Simple to use, not bulky, can push it under a couch when finished. Great buy!

Stress and Pain Relief both
By Dr Saundra C
from Taylor, MI
I use the product once or twice a week especially after walking or exercise that causes aching feet. I feel the effects in my legs and back as well. I would like it if the foot pads moved in some way other than simply vibrating, but the heat function is effective also.

So far, Dad loves it
By Monica
from Los Angeles, CA
I bought this product for my dad, who has lots of problems with his feet. So far, he says it's helping to relieve his pain -- which makes walking a lot easier. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars just to be conservative at this point, since he hasn't used it for very long.
A solid Product that works well
By Betty
from Kennewick, WA
The more you use this product the more comfortable it feels on your feet. This first time was uncomfortable, but now I love it. Try using it with socks the first few times this will help your feel to adjust, my feet have adjusted to it and it is great, still use the 5 min auto program, and will work up to 10 min. I can't wait to use this after a round of golf... !!

Education briefs
Catawba alumna memorialized with scholarship
SALISBURY — A new endowed scholarship established at Catawba College memorializes Anna Katherine Gregory Vance, a 2003 alumna who died in April 2011. The scholarship was established by her husband, Dr. Shawn L. Vance of Kannapolis.
Preference for the scholarship will be given to female, Christian students who major or minor in political science or dance. Anna majored in political science and minored in dance at Catawba. In 2001, she was one of the co-founders of the Delphinian Society at Catawba, a campus organization dedicated to providing academic, service and social opportunities for females.
Born in Greenville, S.C., she was the daughter of Stephen "Steve" Warren Gregory and Nanette Swanson Gregory of Weaverville. She graduated from Dunedin High School in Dunedin, Fla., in 1999. After her graduation from Catawba, she had worked as a child support enforcement agent at the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services, then as a substitute teacher at Footprints Christian Academy in Kannapolis.
Friends and classmates who would like to make additional contributions to the Anna Katherine Gregory Vance Memorial Endowed Scholarship may do so by contacting the Catawba College Development Office at 704-637-4394.
Catawba students and faculty attend meeting
Two faculty members and several students from the psychology department at Catawba College attended the annual meeting of the Southeastern Psychological Association in Atlanta, Ga., March 13-16.

Prospective teachers participate in workshop
Catawba College students pursuing careers in teaching participated in a free workshop on campus that will help better prepare them for their pending jobs. Catawba's teacher education department hosted the Spencer Kagan workshop, "From Survival to Success: Essential Strategies for New Teachers" at the Center for the Environment on March 14 and 15 for juniors and seniors majoring in education.
The workshop relayed a variety of cooperative learning techniques and instructional strategies for use in the beginning years of teaching. The strategies focused on creating a nurturing and safe class community in which students are best suited to learn. These strategies also reinforced processing and critical thinking, as well as social and team-building skills.
Professor chairs session at conference in Spain
Dr. John "Jack" Green, an associate professor of marketing in Catawba College's Ketner School of Business, chaired a session and made a presentation at an international conference held in Valencia, Spain, during the college's spring break.
Green attended the 2013 International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED 2013) March 4-6 and chaired the "Research in Education" session there. He also presented a paper at this conference titled, "Using University Brand Asset Value to Forecast Enrollment."
Green has had several recent successes, including the publication of his first eBook Primer. His "Get Going!! – Learn to Use IBM / SPSS Modeler by Running Logistic Regression," is now auto-delivered wirelessly, published for Amazon Kindle and Kindle for PC/Android operating systems. He also solicited IBM for a $100,000 site license for SPSS/ IBM Modeler which was renewed for use in labs on the Catawba campus.

Salisbury Academy Battle of the Books
Salisbury Academy students earned first place in the Elementary Battle of the Books competition.
Students traveled to Greensboro Day school Wednesday, where they competed against Canterbury School, Greensboro Day School, Greensboro Montessori School, Sacred Heart Catholic School and Westchester Country Day School.
The purpose of the Elementary Battle of the Books program is to encourage reading by all students at the elementary school level, according to the North Carolina Library Association. Students, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints by prominent authors in the area of young adult literature. Salisbury Academy Librarian Angela Graham explained that the event is like a quiz bowl for reading. "The game-like format creates interest and excitement in reading for our students," she said. "We are so proud of the team's hard work."
The Salisbury Academy Elementary Battle of the Books team, coached by Graham, Melissa Brown and Pat Foley, consisted of students Roshen Amin, Marshall Overcash, Mitch Jeter, Caitlin Hattaway, Jessica Jensen, Taron Lilly, Nick Snipes, Will Fowler, Charlie Barr, Emily Cipolla, Ronni Lilly, Maggie Dees, Nikhil Roy, Jude Lockhart, Quinn Lockhart and Tom Bristol.
These students were given a list of 17 specific book titles to read. The team met with their coaches from September until competition to discuss the books and to quiz on the books.
Salisbury Academy's team now advances to the regional competition.

Unique aromas of fennel, violets, star anise dried sweet herbs, and black bing cherry preserves in the aroma are echoed in the wine in this classically constructed cabernet. As the wine opens, bright acidity counterpoints delicate notes of cedar, sweet black fruit and spices that are enhanced by a background of Baker's chocolate and vanilla, culminating in a rich finish.
Our 100% estate Cabernet Sauvignon is made entirely from grapes grown in the vineyards immediately adjacent to PlumpJack Winery located on Oakville Cross Road, Oakville Appellation, Napa Valley, California.
"Wonderful harmony, intensity and concentration, with sweet, juicy currant and blackberry fruit at the center, shaded by cedary oak, which gives off a taste of sage and olive."-Wine Spectator
PlumpJack Winery sits squarely in the heart of Napa Valley's renowned Oakville region, surrounded by a 42-acre estate vineyard highly-regarded for the quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon. Both their winery building and their vineyard date back to the 1800s, when winemaking pioneers first took advantage of a unique position on the valley floor. The east side of their vineyard lies...Read More About PlumpJack
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

I did a lot of research before deciding on the BRS 6 Stage Deluxe System. I definitely made the right choice. The quality of the components is apparent as soon as you unpack the system. Everything you need to hook it up is included. I used the hose bib connector for input and have the product water going into a Brute trash can using the float for auto shutoff. I did have to increase my water pressure as it was only 30 PSI. The included filter monitor was preprogrammed with the correct data for filter changes for the first 4 stages. I highly recommend this system. great RO unit By swseipel on 7/6/2014 swseipel would recommend this product to a friend Quality product that exceeded my expectations. Dual DI unit is nice because it allows you to get the most out of your resin being fully used. Easy as pie By Larry on 6/24/2014 Larry would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to mount and setup. BRS does an excellent job of plumbing all the extras on this system. Well worth the price for ease of mind. Best system out there By Jschoen on 3/29/2014 Jschoen would recommend this product to a friend This system is very easy to set up and get running. It comes with everything plus more to hook it up and get it running. Great Product By David on 3/25/2014 David would recommend this product to a friend This is a great system, the only thing missing is a booster pump if your home water supply is low, as in my case. I have produced about 500g @ 0TDS, before i replaced my filters Excellent unit!! By Ryan on 3/20/2014 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend I am very pleased with this unit. My house water pressure was 60 PSI so to get 75GPD I needed to add a booster pump. I've had RODI systems from other companies in the past and must say you can tell BRS takes pride in there workmanship. great product By Hunter1876 on 1/8/2014 Hunter1876 would recommend this product to a friend This is the second one I bought. This is a great product. I recommend it to anyone. Great product By Dennis on 12/31/2013 Dennis would recommend this product to a friend Very easy install. Has dual TDS Monitors to ensure you are getting zero TDS water. Easy filter changing. If you have a large tank buy BRS upgrade kit to make 150 gpd. Great price from BRS helped By shredder on 12/2/2013 shredder would recommend this product to a friend fixed lots of problems i was having ..This was a must for city of houston water8232338 Easy to setup and great value By Charles on 11/25/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I just wish there was a package that included the drinking system with the 6 stage. Quality product By ELDUFFY on 11/11/2013 ELDUFFY would recommend this product to a friend Great product, very easy to install. Great product By Deadpool on 9/20/2013 Deadpool would recommend this product to a friend This is a great RO/DI Unit, BRS is on point. I only wish I bought the 150 gallon per day unit, since it takes me quite a while to get RO/DI water. I believe they sell an adapter to produce 150 gallons per day on this 6 stage deluxe unit. Updated after some issues By Kenneth on 8/9/2013 Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend The system is superior to anything you can buy from HD or L***s and at a fair price this unit worked fine actually better than expected on day one but the Gauge started to leak from the threaded connector overnight and the Auto Shut Off stopped working the waste line kept dumping water, I fixed to Gauge with some Liquid Teflon tape, BRS is now sending me a new Auto Shutoff valve the process of getting the new valve was less than I expected from BRS but a new one is on the way! I still have to dock a star for the Gauge issue this was probably a rare incidence but it was still seeping and I had to repair it. anyway thanks BRS for taking care of the valve issue hope buy everything I need from you as my system grows. Flawless on Day One! Day 2 I had to adjust/tighten Gauge and Auto Shut off Malfunctioned By Kenneth on 8/9/2013 Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend Day one was a quick install no leaks I flushed it for 2 hours made 4-5 gal of water that I dumped, then made my first 10 Gallons of water to do a water change they are mixing right now with 2 power heads! day 2 I check the RO unit for leaks and any issues and found the oil filled gauge was seeping at the connection there was a rust color stain onto of the RO bracket the ran onto my floor over night I had to shut the system down remove the gauge and use Liquid Teflon tape and Teflon tape to stop the seepage! why it was red I don't know I have a new whole house 5 micron sediment filter that removes rust, then I noticed the black drain line was dumping water when no RO was being made I spent 6 hours trying to figure out what was causing it the only thing that stopped it was removing the RO filter from the bracket and then hearing a click that stopped to waste water! tapping on the auto shutoff did nothing this kept happening every time I put the RO back in it's bracket and had to pull it out of it's bracket to stop the flow, the only thing that makes sense is the shut off gets rotated when lifting the Ro chamber, I checked all the lines for kinks and found nothing! after hours of picking my brain as to what changed since day one I put the RO back in it's bracket very very slowly and so far so good! I called BRS and told them about this but I was told to put a the ball valve at the output and shut it off when the waste water wont shut off and see if it corrects the issue, I have a valve there and several inline at various locations how much water do I have to waste to get a new auto shut off??? I would have giving this 5 stars based on day one but the leaking gauge and the bad auto shutoff and BRS telling me to wait and pay for god only knows how much water just going down the drain Yes I pay for water and it also affects my sewage bill, Thanks BRS Support this is not supposed to happen I have been in plumbing for 20+ years PEX is new to me but the basics are the same. High Quality System By Darrell on 6/9/2013 Darrell would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this system to replace another system which I had purchased elsewhere. This 'other' system was cheaply built, with poor quality fittings, filters, etc... In other words, JUNK. I threw away my money on that one. The BRS system, on the other hand, is very high quality. Well built, with top notch parts, filters, gauges, and so on, and at a fair price. It arrived in only two days and was easy to install, and thanks to the US made push-connect fittings, has no leaks. It is a well thought out system, with refillable cartridges and a filter monitor, which will save me money in the long term. It does it's job efficiently and effectively. I made the mistake of buying my 'other' system based on price, thinking it was a good deal. It wasn't. So pay a little more now for a really high quality system. It will save you money down the road. I highly recommend this BRS system and will buy more from BRS in the future. Making water By iiiiiiiiceman on 5/11/2013 iiiiiiiiceman would recommend this product to a friend First one, It is something i will need a little time before i go all out and say much more. But i did fine out at first i needed to spend a lot of time removing air out of the anion resin. it would be help full if they had some type of air release valve rather then opening up the container every time. Great product By Kenneth on 5/6/2013 Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend Bought this 7 months ago and hooked it to my sump with a float and it has not missed a beat. It keeps my water level where it is supposed to be with 0 TDS water. Also installed a "T" fitting to allow me to fill bottles for my nano tanks at work. This RO unit is definitely worth the money. Solid system By Randy on 4/23/2013 Randy would recommend this product to a friend I did a bit of research (forums, youtube, etc...) on what to look for in a RO/DI system and made a list of component and manufacturers. As I've stayed really pretty loyal to BRS I was happy to see they had a system. I was even happier when I read the reviews. I was EVEN happier when I got it and set it up in a matter of minutes. Just let it run off for a while and everything read great! Maybe wish I went with a 150GPD, but only because I'm impatiently setting up a 180g! Ha! Rock Solid RO System By Brian on 2/16/2013 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Very happy with this system, comes with everything needed for just about any application. The float switch will be great when I add a poly storage tank, glad to see that was included. I've only had the unit a few months, but has worked flawlessly. Other than the filter monitor Velcro falling off (which i knew it would from others reviews and it did the first or second day) I don't think I could have bought a nicer system for twice the money. Super happy, thanks BRS Easy to setup, convenient RO/DI water on demand By JPRO on 2/16/2013 JPRO would recommend this product to a friend New to saltwater my LFS recommended BRS. The BRS 6 stage unit as provided all the 0 TDS water needed to start and maintain my tank. Mounted, plumbed and created water within 60 minutes of arrival. The non-leaking quick connects, easy change filters make this system a winner. Better than one though! By Paul on 1/30/2013 Paul would recommend this product to a friend I'm writing this review because I was a big skeptic and felt this was just cheap, cheap rodi for reefers on a budget. Well my high end over priced rodi needed complete filter replacing but lucky a close friend was breaking his tank down and offered me this 6 stage. I was a little skeptic but more of a critic....well I did the research and i did the test against 3 other units. The first sediment is a purtex 5 micron? What! I was accustomed to .5 micron but soon learned the purtex will filter up to .6 which means it will clog later and the longevity is higher. The larger particles get filtered earlier and in the end the water has to pass through .6 micron so that's a win and its a lot cheaper. Then the carbon which is 2 and 3 chamber and of course it's laid out just as good if not better than others. The Dual Di is just that DI so no need to add to that but the membrane is filmtec and has a 99%@ 65psi rejection rate....what! I was hoping for a little better than 96% but this is a big plus. The other company charges more for membranes for so called test but we know 75gph membranes are known for its ejection rates. As a matter of fact they removed their 75gph membrane and listed it sold out for years since I checked. All they are doing is selling them as 90gpd and charging 10% more for tested...chances are if u buy a 75gpd membrane it will have a high rejection rate, it's cheaper on here btw. Everything on this unit is top notch, yeah we all heard it before but this is the real deal. I don't know how I feel about the filter monitor and isn't user friendly. To reset the unit is easy but I guess that's all it really does do? It's like a timer and reads the amount of water that passes and after a certain gph it will tell u to replace which filter. Time will tell but I'm accustomed to the age old gauge but this has both and a high end oil filled gauge. The in line tds with self shut off is pretty sweet, I have used the older models and this new one is just as good but more visually pleasing to the eye with lager display. I'm very happy with this unit and would of saved a ton have I read more detailed reviews on specs so the reason for this. All in all this is the most affordable rodi with highest value on the market. Yes, I checked everyone but given their reputation and value no way I would even consider a diff brand. They don't try to rip and make a reasonable profit. I have no problems with to continually support a company as such. *********Fyi when originally getting this unit I was ready to write a negative review but after personal use and comparing with two other brands. Brs, why did I doubt you. Fantastic Product and Value By Al on 1/28/2013 Al would recommend this product to a friend Dual DI is the way to go. I have an extra resin container and keep it ready to go. When the TDS climbs from zero, you remove the inlet side DI, swap the outlet Side DI to the inlet side, and replace th outlet side with the fresh one. This rotation works very well. quality unit By pappy on 1/3/2013 pappy would recommend this product to a friend I've had my unit for a year now and have had zero issues. My filters lasted just over a year or ~3500 gallons. This system fills up a 5 gallon bucket in about 2 hours. I've been very happy, 0 tds every time. When I called buck reef supply for replacement filters they were very helpful. I'm a very happy customer. Great Product By Robert on 11/28/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend Never had a problem with BRS products. This RO/DI system does it all. It comes ready to go plug and play. Filters last a long time. Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 6 Stage DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?
