Though many persons havo admired the
beauty of Mlnne-Lusa, tho pumplnB station
of tho Omaha Water company at Kloronco,
and a hundred thousand peoplo every
day draw 'sustenance from Its Ions
reaching mains, fow persons In Omaha
havo ever heard tho story of how
tho system of purifying water at
this station and In operation In many
of tho principal cities of the United States
wa.i discovered. Tho Inventor of tho sys
tem Is Captain '. II. Hoynolds, superin
tendent of tho station.
At tho bottom of tho map of South Amer
ica will bu found a number of Islands
marked on the utlas as Terro del Kiicro.
On ono of these Islands, so small that It
finds no placo upon tho latest map ana
Is only recorded In tho sailors' chart as a
place to bo avoided, tho Idea of tho filtra
tion system of tho Omaha water works was
conceived by a man who at that tlmo had
llttlo tbotiRht of becoming a citizen of Ne
braska. In fact, at tho tlmo ho discovered
I ho system ho had llttlo thouBht of any
other fiito than death by starvation, and
not until after years did ho renllzo tho Im
portance of tho discovery ho had made.
It was In tho fall of lf72 that the bark
TraneiH Allon, In command of a worthy
m.iL'cr. left the port of Now London, Conn.,
for li i rulso In tho South seas, Its destina
tion being tho South Shetland islnnds.
The ship was ono of tho combination ves
sels then so popular, being propelled by
n.ill and steam. All went well with tho
craft and crew until tho vessel nrrived
at tho Terro del Kuego slands. Hero the
water gavo out and a number of seamen
In commnnd of Captain Reynolds were sent
nahoro to secure water If possible.
Clml lo (in Awlutrr.
Spring had Just como to tho southern
land and I ho olllcer and sailors wcro pleased
to gut a chanco to "Btrotcu their legs" on
Innil. Tho noonday sun was shining brightly
ns they east oft from tho ship and
tho party welcomed tho holiday on tho Isl
and. When they nrrived thoy bclloved that
they would havo no t.-cublo In securing
wutcr and the otllcor gavo tho mon leave
to stroll around for a few hours.
With tho suddenness of tho rhango of
weather in those latitudes, n storm arose
whl'h wna declared by old sailors to bu ono
of tho fiercest ever seen. Tho men on
slicru had no opportunity to return to the
chip, as their boat was thrown upon 'he
rwl.'t nnd crushed as an eggshell. Thn
cum I ii of tho Milp saw tho storm In time
tin 1 brought his boat to tho leu of tho
Isljnd. Tho mon walked to tho edgo of
th ' raging waters, but found It Impossible
to cominunlcnto with the ship.
Though but llttlo past noun tho sky was
overcast with clouds so that Iho darkness
win that of midnight. Thiough tho gloom
tho wind dashed tho spray Into tho faces
of tho mon on hhoro so that thoy wcro
drenched with water and nearly strangled
by the flying (pume. As tho forked light
ning broke through tho gloomy walls of
cloud tho ship could bo seen tugging at her
atichor, as sho lay to tho wind stripped of
canvas and with the engines at their ut
most speed to hold tho vessel In tho teeth
of tho gale.
I'or what seemed hours tho anxious
sailors on tho shoro gazed In tho lightning
glare at their ship. Then came a flash
which socmcd to eet on fire tho waters of
tho deep. Kach white-capped wavo shone
rcsplindent as burnished gold, and the
quiet wnter between them laid as troughs
of liquid fire. I'larao seemed to surround
the vessul. As tho men looked In wonder
and alarm thcro camo an explosion which
shook tho firmament. Another flash of
lightning, and as the men looked out upon
tho raging waters they found that their
ship had disappeared.
Slrimileit on Wild Inlnnil.
With heavy hearts they turned toward
tho bleak Island and sought to chofo their
soaking limbs to warmth. Night foil and
with It felt the wind. Tho first night on
tho deserted Island Is a dream to. the
sailors. They cannot tell how It was passed.
Tho next morning tho sun arose resplen
dent. The sea was running high from the
wind of tho night before, but tho warmth
of tbu spring morning brought back life
to tho party. No sign of tho vessel was
In sight nnd tho men believed that It had
perished with nil on board. For hours
they searched tho Island hoping to dis
cover somo ovldonco of tho wreck, but
without result. They then concluded that
the wind bad carried tho floating wrcckago
out to sea.
Examining tho wrecked boat nnd tho
pockets of tho penjackcts brought by them
to the Island, tho sailors found enough
bread to last them n day. With tho nd
vnnco of the day thousands of aquatic birds
which nest In those lslanilu mado their
appearance upon tho beach and by their
tamencjg Bhowcd that man wns an un
familiar figure to them. Several of these
birds wcro killed with a piece of the
wrecked rowboat und they mado n feast
for tho marooned seamen.
At tho closo of tho breakfast they at
tempted to drink tho wator which was run
ning down thu uldo of a snow-capped hill.
Tho water proved to bo unpalatiiblo on ac
count of the nesting and roosting places of
the birds being In a position to contain!
nato tho Htreams. Captain Reynolds
noticed that where tho water fell over the
ledges uf lco and rock It soemcd to be
clearer and purer than nbovo or below
that point, nnd so he Instructed tho men
lo tnko water from the miniature falls.
.IiinI to Kill Tim.-.
As thu days elapsed tho men, finding
themselves Idle us well ns shipwrecked, be
camo morose aud despondent. At first they
had enough to cat, but had llttlo hope of
being taken off tho Island, as It was not on
tho regular track of vessels, At tho end
of the first week tho birds upon which they
fed became timid at their approach nnd the
men saw starvation staring them In the
face. Then tho olllcer devised a plan to
occupy their minds during the long flays.
Taking somo of tho wrecked rowboat he
Interested them In building dams across
tho streams which flowed down tho banks
from thu melting lco and snow and In
placing vvnterwheels In the dams. The,
captain noticed that whllo tho wnter en
tcied tho first dam contaminated by the
droppings of tho birds nnd giving off an
eflluvia almost unbearable, It camo from the
Inst dam clear and with nil bad odor re
moved.
On tho thirteenth day tho drooping spirits
of the stranded sailors were gladdened by
thn sight of a sail and In a fow hours the
ship, which they believed to havo been
wrecked, camo to anchor near the Island
and sent off a boat which picked them up.
The captain explained that under tho stress
of the storm tho ship bad slipped Its cablo
and had been driven out of Its course so
that It required nearly two weeks for it
to get Its bearings and return to the Island
where Its men bad been left.
IlrliiKM litrii Into Service.
Captain Reynolds followed tho sea. for
many years nnd later camo west. When
ho heard a discussion of the different ways
of purifying water for tho uso of largo
cities his experience ou tho southern Island
came back to him and ho laid bis plans be
fore tho Omaha Water company. That
company was so favorably Impressed with
the idea that It appropriated n large sum
of money to make tho experiment. Five
largo basins were erected and tho water Is
permitted to fall from one to the other.
when It reaches tho lower basin all Im
purities have been removed by tho action
of tho wind and sun. Tho system has bcon
adopted by other cities since it has proven
so successful In Omaha nnd Captain Rey
nolds believes thnt he has good grounds to
bring suit for royalties against several
companies, as a patent ou tbo eystem has
been applied for.

According to tho authority of tho poet,
Tom .Moore, too ! renen navo Kivcn us
6S5 nays to servo eggs.
Eggs, Ilko milk, arc considered a complete
food nnd contain a larger proportion of
nutriment, according to bulk, than nny
other food. Hut when regarding cgg In tbo
light of n "completo" food the shell must
bo taken Into account, ns Its composition
furnishes certain parts which enter into tho
organism of tbo chick. Thcso elements cau-
I not, of course, bo utilized when the eggs aro
used for food and they aro therefore not
"complete," although u highly nutritious
food in a concentrated form.
Eggs are 11 most sultablo food for chil
dren, tho consumptive and tho feeble, If
given raro or lightly cooked, so as to be
readily digested.
Occasionally individual peculiarities pre
vent tbo person from eating eggs In any
form.
Tho whlto of tho egg consists chiefly of a
slmplo solution of albumen and contains
less solids than tho yolk and much less fat.
Tho whlto of tho egg contnlns an excess of
chlorides; tho yolk, on tho other hand, an
excess of phosphates.
In somo instances, If tho whlto of thy
egg Is taken uncooked, In any considerable
quantities, It gives rlso to albuminuria.
This may bo prevented by cooking tho white
over so slightly.
Tho egg yolk Is moro Important than tne
whlto from an alimentary point of view; It
Is richer In solid constituents, especially in
fats. Tho snlino matter is tbo same as
found In tho blood.
K contnlns a peculiar form of albumen
and, besides the ordinary fats, olcln and
palmltlu, tho yolk contnlns cholcstcrln (fat
found In bile), considerable mineral matter.
plgmeut extractives nnd a little grnpo sugar.
Whllo eggs uro extensively employed In
dietary for tho sick as well as In ordinary
cooking, In the formor they nro in many
enses very unsuitable. Many physicians
forbid their wo In nlbumiulnurla and In
urlo acid diathesis. llut when thoy aro
found to ngrco nnd arc relished they aro a
great addition to tho list of dishes which
nre prepared for tho sick.
Lalt do Poulc Is ti well known prepara
tion, frequently given to tho sick und is
mado by beating 'tho yolk of tho egg In hot
wator, adding a very llttlo sugar nnd either
a llttlo orango flour water, rum or cognac.
Milk may bo used Instead of tho water
when n richer food is desired.
Plain Uakcd Eggs Toku a deep eorthen
dish, upread thickly with butter In bot
tom and sides. Rrcak perfectly fresh eggs
carefully Into tho dish m aa to keep tho
yolks whole; sprlnklo with salt und set In
a hot oven until tho whites aro llrm. Servo
garnished with parsley and buttered toast.
Eggs for Luncheon Roll eight eggs for
twenty minutes; removo tho shells ami tako
out tbo yolks; cut tho whites luto small
cubes. Melt two level tablespoonfuls of
butter; add two level tablespoonfuls of flour
and stir until smooth- mid bubbling. Then
ndd halt u cup of cream nnd halt cup of
chicken stock or oyster llmior nnd let boll
up, stirring constantly. Season with
tnlt snd whlto pepper. Add tho whites
of tho eggs with half n dozen chopped
oysters. Stir until hoated; ndd tho yolks
and cook a moment longer. Serve at once.
Uovllcci uggs. snavo u quarter of a I
pound of rich cheese very fine. Ruttcr a
shallow earthen baking dish; spread tho
chceso In tho bottom with hits of butter;
sprlnklo with salt and pnprlka. Break six
eggs, ono at a time, over the cheese, being
careful not to break tho yolks. Stir Into
half a cup of cream ono teaspoonful of
mixed mustard and pour over tho eggs.
Set In tho oven for ton minutes. Serve
hot.
NIco for Breakfast Put a iableipoonful
of thick tomato puree or sauco In bottom of
llttlo chlnn, fireproof dishes; on this placo
a nicely poached, neatly trimmed egg, Add
grated cheese, an ounco to a gill of whlto
sauco anil cover the egg rather thickly

Backache is an invention of the evil one to try wo
men's souIb.
It has a beginning, but no end. Day after day its
presence darkens the sunshine ; night after night it pre
vents restful sleep.
Only those who havo suffered in this way can under
stand the wearying, ceaseless misery.
Yet, backache is but a sign of serious inward trouble,
which sooner or later declares itself.
Do you never wonder what in the world is the reason
your back aches so ?
Does your physician give you a satisfactory reason ?
Does no crura you ?
The backaches or women are caused by diseased kid
neys or some uterine derangement. Lydia "E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound cures it always, because
it is the greatest known medicine for kidney and womb
troubles.
Why do you temporize with backache when you must
know that its cause is deep seated? You aro enduring a
miserable oxistonco and piling up still greater trouble by
trying to do tho impossible and live it down.
Surely, every woman who suffers with her back wants
to be well. Why not get Mrs. Pinkham's advico ? You
can secure it free by writing a letter to her at Lynn, Mass.
It is tho surest and easiest way to get relief from tho
demoralizing ache, and also got rid of the serious troublo
which causes it.
You will not be the first woman Mrs. Pinkham has
helped; there are thousands and thousands of them. Over
come your hesitation. Sit right down to-day and write her
about it. While you are waiting for a reply, get a bottle
of her medicine, and be sure you do not permit the druggist
to induco you to take somothing else on which ho wants
to make a larger profit. The medicine that cures these
troubles of women is
Lydia Em Pinkham's
Vegetable Compmmd
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham : For two yars I was troubled with falling
and intlammution of tho womb. I suffered vry much with be.irinrr-doyvn
pains, headache, backache, and was not able to
do my housework. What I endured no one knowB
but those who har buffered ns I did. I could
hardly drug myself across tho floor. I doctored
with the physicians of this town for three months
nnd prew worse instead of better. My husband
nnd friends wished me to writo to you, but I had
no faith in patent medicines. At last I became so
bad that I concluded to uslc your advice. I re
ceived an answer at onco advising me to take your
Vegetable Compound and I did to. Before I had
taken two battles I felt better, and after 1 had
taken five bottles there was no happier woman on
earth, for I was well oguin. I know that your
Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and
advise every woman who suffers ns I did to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Be
lieve mo always grateful for the recovery of my
health." MRS. ELLA KICE, Chelsea, Wis.
mas Pollard Writes for Advice.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I saw your medicine so highly recom
mended 1 thought 1 would writo to you for advice.
"My menstruation occurs every two weeks, lasts a week and is
painful. I have been troubled in this way for some time. I suffer from
bicic neaaacno ana oacuacno an tne time, appetite
rjor, sick at stomach everj' morning, everything
eat hurts me, am very weak, thin and sallow.
" 1 hare tried a doctor, but ho did not seem
to do me any good." MISS MAGGIE POLLARD,
319 S. 4th St., Richmond, Va. (Feb. 20th, 1900.)
Miss Pollard Tells of Her Cure.
" Dkar Mrb. Pinkham : Since receiving your
answer to my letter, I have been taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has
done me more good tlmn any medicine I havo
ever taken. My menses ore all right now and
appear once a month, and I feel so much stronger.
I shall always praise your medicine," -MISS
MAGGIE POLLARD, 310 S. 4th St., Richmond, Va. (April 23d, 1900.)
" Dkar Mrs. Pinkham : I havo been using Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for backache. Tho puin wun sometliing drendful;
at times I could not walk straight. Now I am all right and enjoy good
Health. I fool like n new woman. You do not know how thankful I am
that I havo got my health back, und I have you to thnnk for it. Your
medicine is tho best that I over used. I advise all ladles to try it, and I
am sure it will givo unbounded satisfaction. 1 will recommend it to
every friend I have." MRS. M. E. MULLER, 1A Concord Squure,
Boston, Mass.
" Dkar Mrs. Pinkham: I have been taking your Vegetable Cora
pound und it has done so much for me that I feel as though I would like
to nave every one itnow uuouv u. i wus eick ior
two years with falling of the womb, and inflam
mation of tho ovaries und bladder, causing severe
backache. I was bloated very badly. My left
limb would swell so I could not step on my foot.
I had such bearing-down pains that 1 could not
straighten up or walk across tho room, and such
shooting pains would go through mo that I
thought I could not stand it. My mother got mo
a bottle of your Vegetable Compound and told mo
to try it. I took six bottles, and now, thanks to
your wonderful medicine, I am a well woman. I
cannot toll half what your Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I wish every woman suffering
with female weakness would begin ils use at
once." MRS. ELSIE BRYAN, Otisville, Mich.
