Now, while it is true that boiling will kill tho germs of disease, yet tho fact has boon brought to our notice by so high nu authority us Dr. Charles M. Crossou that, while boiling kills the germs of a particular diseaso, it yet in reality renders tho wator more Im? pure than It was before, because by tho very death of these germs dead organic matter is allowed to remain in tho \vntcr, which it pollutes by putrefaction. IIuuqo, while boiling is n most excellent precau? tion against thp occurrence of typhoid fever or similar diseases when wo have oc? casion to think the germs of theso diseases exist in tho water that wo drink, yet we must remember that this boiling does not purify the water. It tdmply removes from it the Bpoclflo power to produce a specilic disoaso.?Philadelphia American. Cheap Toothbrushes.

She is thoroughly acquainted with all tho state secrets and insists upon knowing every? thing that tho king does and everything that ho writes. Sho gives counsel anil dictntes important letters. "Tho queen's prldo and hor mania for meddling with everything hnvo mndo nu? merous enemies for her, nnd sho might bo an object of pity if the king should dio bc foro her, because in that event sho would bo in danger of being stoned to death. Shu knows this very well, find as a pro cautionary measure she lias accumulated immense riches in tho country of (Jodjnm, whom sho Intends to take rcfugo in case sho becomes a widow. Sho likes most European liquors, especially French chain - pagno, but doesn't care for tho sweet wines of Italy, which were brought to her by Makonncn on his return from Home.
