There is perhaps no other condi tion so essential to the health and comfort of a collimnlility as purc, untainted water.

Fort unuately iese anlcient rocks have ex perienuced early13 all the vicissi tudi(es thrllough 'hiich thle eairthI huas passed. The ver' aiccumiulat ing f orces of' the matriact inrg cruLst (o fle eai'thI have musedl them to be tilted, folded, I 'umaple(a, fissured, faulted mind a.ctured. to such an e.x.te t' there is scarcely a square mile of strata ill-its origilal position. It IS to tltse fissures and frac tures thus formed that we must look for any considerable supply of Witter. Baron Nordenskjold, of Sweden, believed fro')m his researches in Spitzbergeni, that at horizontal crack would generally be foutd to exist inl all solid rocks at an illsignuificant depth beneath tihe earth's surface. Ile further believes stich cracks to be formed from variations in tem perature, and finds them in granite rocks fron 90 to 12, feet below the surface. They yield from 6oo to 2,(x)( quarts of water ant hour with moderate pulpinlf'g. It tle gnciss of this State we neither look for, nor do we find, anly such horizontal cracks, but fissures and fractures int every directiont through the rock, and it any inclination to tile sur face. How to locate these fissures is the oiie aid only problem to be solved. This problem, while not generally understood, if at all, evenl by the professional well-borer, ad mits of easy solution where the rocks are exposed ; because their character and position, the nature and amoutil of the disturbance which hats taken place in thei, can readily be seen, even by the unl trained observer. But where the soil covers them to any con1id, r ble depth, or where there are but few rock exposures, as is frequently tle case, it is often difiicult to de termine whether or not to expect to find fissures. It might appear that a valley or hill side shall i ways be chosen for the locatioi of tile well. If all valleys atid hill sides resulted from one and the sate cause, viz., faulting, we might reasonably expect fissures and fractures to abound in the rocks along tile line of tile fault, and that a drill penetrating tie rock for a fev hundred feet would, in all prob ability, pass through one or more fisGurcs carrying wvater. Valleys, however, originate in several ways, chiefly as follows: Valleys of ero sion-formed by the softer parts of the rock wearing awiay faster than the harder; valleys formed by the folding of the strala ; and valleys resulting from dislocation of the rocks, commonly known as fitilts. Experience has showl that tile margins of this last class of valleys are good locations for artesian wells. S. L. Powltm.. Case*~ of Poisoning Hood's Barsaparila Drives the PoI son from the System, Quiets the Nerves, RelIeves Dyspepsa and Catarrh. " While in the army I was poisoned in wardly with poison oak, and I did not get well for 15 years. My blood bocame so affected that I was taken with a hacking cough, and I was thought to be going into consumption. I took many different medicines without avail, and finally re solved to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. When I had finished taking the first bottle the pimples began to disappear from my body, and after I had taken three bottles I was well. I have also nuffered with ca tarrh in the head and have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for this trouble and it helps me. Ini fact I take it for ali all nmentst and believe it has no equal as a blood purifier. It quiets the nerves and gives refreshing sleep. It has relieved me of dyspepsia and built me up." J. I.
