My attentioi te*6, t recently been, called to th ject of water, although I s(:udie< e for subject last year, I did not fin? pingf the interest in it that I d< U. Sw. A discussion of it in you U. Stable paper may not be out o mic Ce' and may be of iutere8t t( rispie one. Having nothing mon ?ct?nportant than that, I will en raniearor to give a short discussioi n.bf; this interesting subject : v Water was for a long time con ?Jsidered a simple element. Aristo j^tle advanced the theory that al matter is composed of four ele ments-earth, air, fire, and watei To which his followers adde< quintessence, or fifth essence. Thi theory was held until Cavendish in .the year 1784, by some careful ex periments, determined that what had formerly been called a mix ture of air-in the* experiments with sulphuric acid and eine, was nothing more than a gass jhixed with some oily substance. By further experiments he found it to be one of the constituents of water. He burned 423 volumes of hydro gen, which took up 1,000 volumes o?~?ir. In the 1,000 volumes of air thei e are 210 volumes of oxygen. There Jie found the proportion in water to be 2 volumes of hygen and 1 of' oxygen. All experiments from that time until this, have proved this, proportion to be cor rect. What the future may or wiil develop we do not know, yet we ?may safely say, with our present knowledge on the subject, water is composed of the above mentioned I elements. Mr. Editor, some one will say, that is only theory, surely, it is not true. "Seeing is knowing,*' says the old adage. I have seen the union going on. Although these gasses are invisible when they unite-iorm water, which is visible. Last evening our society dis cussed the "prohibition" quostion. It was rather a one-sided affair. All, or nearly all, were in favor of prohibition. Let it come 1 Success to you and yours. B. Strong- Law or None at All. . The State prohibition executive committee is now hard at work pulling the wires for the passage of its ironclad, simon pure pro hibitory law,, and ere the second week of the session is under way good it will burst upon the rather astonished senses of the members the General Assembly. Then the greatest battle of the present sees, ion will be on, and there will be. plenty of interest in it. The State committeemen of the prohibitionists have come together, healed their differences and have prepared the bill that will startle the natives and begin the battle. The bill was finally agreed on at the meeting held on Thursday. Mr. Childs seems very much satisfied with the bill as finally arranged, and says that while in a good many details it is some what different from the bill that he prepared, the only changes that have been made merely makes the bill ?tronger and more satis factory to him. He declined tc give a copy of it till j^^^^jj it will be as effective if passed a's it is possible for any prohibitory law to be. Mr. GJiflds has not yet decided he say/ who will be the introducer o/the bill to the House of Representatives. He announces howeverAhat it may get in to-day, and hr Monday morning at the latead A speaking of ,the prospects o? gassing it, Mr. Childs said thal I this was a good bill and unless he could get such a bill through-s bill that would be effective-he preferred to have no prohibitior law passed at .all,, for it would onlj compl icate matt ors and make there worse than they now are.-The State.. ' Disease At The Back Door. Yes, it is the nasty habit oi pitching out at the back door s pailful and dipperful, now ano then, of greasy water, and a hand ful of parings and the genera] waste of the kitchen, which breedt fevers and bilious disesases. The waste disappears for the most pari in the soii, but that is the key tc the mischief. The soil gets ful after a time and ferments, and the hot sun breeds gases which sur round and enter the house. Th i ? is true not only of the cheaper poorer house and careless families well-to do. intelligent people hav< spots behind their houses saturatec with slops. In populous towns ne amount of supervision can preven a great deal nf filthy evil ; but ii the country towns slops should b< carried out to trees and poured ii small quantities here and there ai fertilizer. Trees will take up i large quantity of water, and bi grateful for it. There must bi simply constant intelligence in th? disposal of waste.-Farm Life.

The "Breakers," the elegant and costly summer residencie" of Cornelius Vanderbilt, is to-night a smouldering maso of mine. The fire sbso destroyed all the valvable contents of the villa. ? I The fire was discovered by Mr Vanderbilt himself about 4 3(|(P. M; smoke being in the main f hall. Within a few hours the building and its costly contents, consisting of rich tapestries, rare paintings, valuable ?bric-a-brac and elegant decorations and furnishings of every sort were destroyed-- The house was two stories in height, and about 100 by 90 feet in size, the lower, part of brick and the upper of wood, with numerous towers and gable. The character of the furniture and decoretions may be judged, from the fact that in a single^ h si 1 were hung tapestries estimated to be ^worth $500,000 or more.] The silver jewels and* other valuables of like nature were placed in saf tes by the servants and are probjy all right Estimates place Mr. Vander bilt's loss at not less than $600,000. -:-___, j Sunday Selections.

The man who is engaged in an enterprise with his whole heart is not to be dismayed or turned aside by ridieule.-Western Recorder. We have but to name God before sorrow, and it changes color ; name Him before burdens, and they grow less; names Him before vanity of life, and it disappears. The whole sphere and scene of life is changed, lifted into a realm of power and wisdom and gladne'ss.-Muger. Faith in God's promises may be compared to a bank note ; full of felt possession of the blessings promised is like ready cash. The man who has bank notes to any given value looks upon himself as possessed of so much money, though in reality it is only so much paper. Thus faith is as satisfied, and rests with as great complacency in lae promises of Jehovah, as if it had all the bless ings of grace and "glory in hand. In faith's estimation God's note is current coin.-Salier.

Sensations of a Man Who Lay for Three Hours in His Grave. "Ill wager th> me there is not a gentleme' ?resent vho can guess with a years of my age," said Calv S. Freeman who sat talking with some fellow travell ing men. The guesses ran all the way from 48 to 65. "lam just 34 years old," said Mr. Freeman. "I was born in 1858 I grew old in a day. I have passed' through the most terrible ordeal to which a mortal was subjected^-I was buried alive and lay in the, grave, with six feet of earth on top of me' for nearly three honre. That was at Edinburg, Scotland, nine years ago. I was born in that city. At the age of 27 I married a girl who had been my playmate in childhood. A year later I was takten sick, and, after an illness of but two daywes pronounced dead, and preparations was made for my burial. "I was as consious-as at this mo ment, but unable to speak or move a muscle. A great weight seemed to lie on my chest and eyelids. All that night and until 10 o'clock next day Hay with a cloth over my face, listening to the preparations fer my interment. At that hour I was placed in coffin, the fureral s?vices were read, and I was consifined to .the grave. There was no stifling sensation, for I had cease*! to breathe, but the black loneliness of those hours haunt me day and night. I felt that I could come out of the trance state before death ensued, would slowly smother to death, and the thought added horror to my situ ation. "I had read of graves being opened where people had been buried alive >and how they had torn their flesh with their nails and turned over in their coffins in a mad struggle for air. I wondered if there was any way by irhich I t^uld quickly destroy my sels when 'nature asferted its sway, Every hour seemed to me as days. It was Tuesday when I was, buried. I'fahcied I could hear the Sunday chimes of the church which stood a/few yards distant, I wondered who my neighbor-was on the right and'who on the left, and if they, top, were buried alive. I wondered if there really was such a thing as death, or if I was doomed to lie conscious in that prison forever. "Sudedynly I felt a muscle twitch. 'It is coming now? I thought. A minute more and I will be struggliug for breath,i;.I felt a faint flutter at the heart. I .gavera .little gasp,-and the air seemed ' freighted withlleacjLJ :(rieu tu . or?ame, bm itrwas - like drawing fetid water into my lungs. I had resolved not to move a muscle, tb die with my hande folded on my breast, so that if my body was over taken up my friends would not suspect the awful trnth but I could not lie still. The struggle began, and I fought in my narrow prison house as a man onlv fights for life. Horrible a&it was I seemed to hear my wife's voice ringing in my ears. I was a crj of agony. I tried to answer it, bul could not. "A succession of thunder peah shook my prison house.
