Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, was
in one of the small tow n* in his district cam
pnginng last fall, says the New York
World, and heard a conversation between
one of his friend' who was about to move
to Dallas county, Tex., and a native:
“Hear you-all going to Texas,'’ said the
native.
"Ye*: going to Dallas county.”
“Well, l wish you’d look up my brother
dow n there and tell him I’m doing mighty
poorly. The interest is routing due and i
wasn ne would send tne some money .”
1 e native then went and had a e-tuple of
drinks of local whisky. Shortly afterward
he met the man who was going to Texas.
“1 hear you all are going to Texas'.’"
“1 es.”
“Well, if you all run across nty brother
jown there tell him J am tine and that
everything is going along all light."
'1 e man who was going to Texas prom
ised and li e native dropped into the saloon
arm i.ad some more di inks When he came
out ne again hailed the man who was going
to Texas and said :
“Say. if you see my brother down there
just tell him to send to me if he needs any
money.”

SOFTENING HARD WATER.
How to Get Rid of the Excess of
Carbonic Acid.
Rain water, while percolating
through the ground to find ils level
in the surface or deep streams,
picks up a large quantity of car
bonic acid, by the presence of
which the chalk (carbonate of
lime), magnesian limestone (chalk
and carbonate of magnesia), iron
stone, soda, potash and a few oth
er compounds are enabled to dis
solve and are held delicately and
unstably in solution as hi-carbon
ates, says the Engineering Maga
zine.
Now (ho fundamental operat ion
of the softening of waters hard
from this cause is to remove the
excess of carbonic acid by tlx* ad
dition of some substance with
which it readily combines, and
preferably one t hat forms an insol
uble, or only very slight ly soluble,
compound. Quick lime (calcium
oxide), when carefully dealt with,
is the best of these on account of
its cheapness and splendid efheien
cy. The quantity of excess car
bonic acid in the hard water is de
termined by ana lysis, and from t lx*
result tlx* required amount of cal
cium oxide is calculated to com
pletely satisfy this in the process
of forming chalk. The lime is
added to the water in the form of
milk of lime of known strength and
what might be termed the beauti
ful part of the reaction is ihe
double transformation that takes
place. The newly added milk of
lime not only becomes insoluble
chalk by combinat ion wit h t he ear
bon dioxide, but reduces the bicar
bonates of lime and magnesia to
insoluble monocartVonates. and till
three fall together in the form of
| a heavy and rapidly clearing pre
cipitate. The bicarbonate of iron
when robbed of its carbon dioxide
falls with the chalk and magne
sium carbonates in the form of red
dust, the supernatant water re
maining perfectly clear and sofr.
The potash and soda, of course, re
main dissolved, but are not in any
way harmful if present in only
small quant it ies.
THE LORD MAJOR’S FRILLS.
A Position of Considerable Dignity
in British Empire.
As matters now stand the lord
may<>r takes precedence not only
of all peers hut of the reigning
sovereign within the precincts of
the city, says the St. dames' <la
zette. He has the right of private
audience with the monarch and.
as a privy councillor, is summoned
on the death of England's ruler.
To become lord mayor la* must
have previously served as an al
derman. If on election he refuses
the civic chair lie has to pay a tine
of £1,000. No one is chosen who
has any blot on his private charac
ter, and in case of bankruptcy or
compounding with creditors an al
derman is passed over until he has
paid 20 shillings in the pound to
his creditors.
The election of mayor is subject
to the approval of the crown, stud
it any public fasi is ordered by the
sovereign, the mayor and corpora
tion sit tend St. Paul's cathedral in
black robes. The lord mayor has
the badges of royalty attached to
his office in t he scepter, t he swords
of just ice and mercy and t he mace.
The gold chain which he wears is
one of the most ancient honorary
distinctions and can be traced to
eastern origin and manner of con
ferring dignity, instances of which
we lind in the Old Testament.
rormerly tin* mayors during
their term of otlice used to r< side
in their own private* houses which
in past days were* always in the
city itself, and therefore within
easy access of < iuildhnll. Now 1 he
mansion house is set apart for
the lord mayor's residence for the?
year. The first stone of the man
sion house was laid in 17.‘>!>, the
house and the furniture costing
£70,1)85 13s. 1M.
The annual expenses connected
with the oftice amount to about
£25,000, of which about £10,000 is
the sum allowed by the corpora
tion, the remainder coming out of
the mayor’s private purse.
GOVERNOR OF OREGON
Uses Pe-ru-na^A in His Family
For Coldsl«|:an(l Grip.
CAPITOL HUILMMi, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From The Governor of Oregon.
Pc rut) a is kn nvn from the At lantie to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
ami commendation testifying to the
merits of I’eruua as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in front every State in the
Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti
san, tlieelcrk, theeditor, thestatesman,
the preacher—all agree that I’eruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as t heir greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh universal; almost om
nipresent. I’eruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh outof
its victims. Pcruna not only cures ca
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pemna. He keeps it eon
tinually in the house. In a recent let
ter to Dr. Ilartuian, he says:
Statk of Op.f.oox, (
E\K( I TIVK DEI’ABTMKNT, J
The Peruna Medicine < o., Columbus,O.:
Dear Sirs I ha re had occasion to use
your Peruna medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to he an excel
lent remedy. / have not had occasion
to use it for ot her ailments.
Yours very truly, VP. M. Lord.
It will he noticed that the Governor
says lie has not had occasion to use Pe
runa for other ailments. The reason
for this is. most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using I in a to promptly
cure colds, lie protect s hisfainily against
other ailments. This is exactly what
every other family in the United States
should do. Keep Peruna in the house.
Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and
other climatic affections of winter,and
there will be no other ailments in the
house. Such families should provide
themselves with a copy of Dr. Hart
man’s free book, entitled, “ VVintef
Catarrh.” Address Dr. Hartman, Co
