Mystcries of the Soda Fountain.
Under the caption of "A Business that
Pays,' a large dealer in eoda water. ap
paratus thus enlightens the trade on
"the profits which dealers in carbonated
beverages may reasonably hope to
make," which he says, "can be readily
inferred from the following aocurate esti
mate of the cost of manufacturing each
beverage." In the "dispensing depart
ment" that is, selHng from the foun
tain the following are the actual costs:
One plass of plain soda water co6ts one
tenth of a cent.
One glnsa of soda water with syrup coat-one
cent and a-hulf.
One plaes of mineral water costs one cent.
One glass of root beer costs one cent.
One plass of ginger ale costs one cent and a
quarter. One glass of fine draught champagne costs
four cents.
In the "bottling department" the fol
lowing scale of costs prevails:
Plain soda water, best quality, put up In bot
tles closed with corks and fasteners, costs
eight cents per dozen.
Ditto, with gravituting "toppers, costs three
cenw per dozen.
Soda water with syrup, in bottle closed by
corks und fasteners, costs iUteen cents per
dor.cn.
Ditto, with gravitating stoppers, costs ten
cents per dozen.
Oinger ale in bottles, with corks and wires,
costs seventeen cents per dozen.
Ditto, with gravitating stoppers, cost6
twelve cents per dozen.
Mineral waters in siphons costs three cents
per siphon.
Sparkling champagne (domestic), lut-1 qual
ity, costs twenty-five icnts per quart bottle.
From a simple comparison of the fore
going scale of costs, and the well-known
retail charges for the same articles, the
inference drawn by the manufacturer
that it is "a business that pays," ap
pears to be a correct ope.
Then a list is given of the materials
included in the outfit for this business.
Wc find in this catalogue the following
items:
Sulphuric acid and marblo dust to make the
carbonic acid gits, which gives the sparkliug
quality.
Chemical extracts for the linvors.

JJIeeding at the Nose.
This complaint is much more frequent
among thorough, or very highly bred
horses, than those of a coarser char
acter, probably from the nature of the
t it on. To what extent a liability to this
casualty affects the value and utility of
the animal, depends in a great measure
on the purposes for which he is intended.
(Jreat liability to this occurrence would
; reduce the value of a race horse that is.
1 as one in training from five thousand
to perhaps five hundred dollars: in fact.as
a race horse, however superior, h would
be comparatively worthless, and he could
not be depended on. It can scarcely be
called dangerous to the animal, as it
seldom causes sufficient loss of blood to
be more than a temporary inconven
ience. A horse subject to bleeding at the nose
when racing, might never have a recur
rence of it when ridden n a lady's
horse, or in harness for moderate work
If. therefore, one snbiect to this casualty
were particularly desirable in other le-
spects, there is no objection to purchas-
lug him for purpoes requiring
less exertion: but on no account buy him
at anv- price, if wanted for the work that
brought on the bleeding, whether
wanted for riding or driving though by
using him very moderately one might
prevent a recurrence. Knowing the con
dition of horses and their intlammalory
habits, fed and used as they are. we
would rather have a horse faint and drop
from loss of blood than have even a
slight attack of internal inflammation.
Weakness from loss of blood is easily
and surely to be remedied, but inflam
mation is "most difficult to be subdued.

HER SECRET TROUBLES.
The
Unknown Trials Which a Woman,
Endured Without Complalat
Why Ibey Vanished.
Near the close of one of the most trying
of the few hot days of the present year a
pale, care-worn woman might have been
seen at the window of ber dwelling appar
ently in a condition of complete exhaus
tion. Her efforts to meet the accumulated
duties of her household bad been great but
unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child,
whose wails could even then be beard, was
added to her otherwiso overwhelming
troubles. Mature had done much for her
and in her youthful days she had bea not
only beautiful but the possessor of health
such as is seldom seen. But home and
family duties and tho depressing cares
which too often accompany them had
proven greater than her splendid strength
and she felt at that moment not only that
life was a burden but that death would bo
a grand relief, 'this is no unusual experi
ence. It is, in fact, a most common every
day occurrence, and a great prayer is con
stautpy ascending from thousands of homes
for deliverance from the deadly power
which is enslaving so many wives, moth
ers and daughters. And yet these duties
of life must be met. No woman can af
ford to turn aside from the proper care of
her home and the ones who are committed
to her care, although in doing these duties
she may sacrifice her health, and possibly
life itself. The experience of one who suc
cessfully overcame such trials and yet re
tained health and nil the blessiiiis it brings
is" thus told by Rev. William Watson, Pro
viding Elder" of tho Methodist-Episcopal
Church, residing at Vatertown,S. Y. He
said:
"My wifo became completely run down
through overwork and care of d sick mem
ber of our household, and I entertained
serious nppreheuMous as to her future.
Sho was languid, pale, utterly exhausted,
without appeti-', and in a complete ttato
of physical decline. And yet she did not,
COufcTnot neglect her duties. 1 have seou
her about the house, trying courageously
to care for the one-, she loved when I could
tell, from the lines upon her faco how
much she was suffering. At times she
would rally for a day or two and then fall
back bHo the stale of nervous exhaustion
she felt before Her head pained her fre
quently, her body was becoming bowed by
pain and all hope or enjoyment in life
teemed departed. What to do we could
not toll. 1 resolved, however, to bring
back her life and vitality if possible and to
this end began to treat her myself. To my
great relict hrr system hits l?on toned up,
her streng h restored, her health complete
ly recovered and wholly by tho use of
Warner's Tipiecanoe, which I regar I as
tho greatest tonic, invigorator and stomach
remedy that has ever been discovered. I
was led to use it the moie readily as I had
test-ed tbe health-restoring properties of
Warner's Safe Cure m my own person and
I therefore knew that any remedy Mr.
Warner might produce would lie a valuable
(inc. I have since recoi'imenileil both Warn
er's Tippecanoe nnd Warner's Safe Cure to
many of my friends and 1 know several
D 'ctors of Divinity a well as numerous
laymen who are Using both wiUi great
benefit."
If all the overworked and dutv driven
women of America could know of tho ex
perience above described, and act upon the,
same, there can be little doubt that much
of the pain, and most of tho depressing in
fluei.ces of life might be avoided. Such
truths are too valuable to remain unknown.
There are in Shakespeare's plays
about ninety deaths taking plaee either
on the stage or immediately behind.
The modes of death are various. Cold
steel the dagger or the sword ac
counts for about two-thirds of the whole:
twelve persons die- from old age or lie
decay: seven are beheaded: live die by
poison, including the elder Hamlet,
whose symptoms are so minutely de
scribed by the ghost: two of suffocation,
unless, indeed, Dcsdemona makes a
third: two by strangling: one from a
fall; one is drowned: three die by snake
bite, ami one. Horner, the armorer, is
