It would take too much time to describe the machine, in 1 this article, but we have v.o doubt, our young friends Whitney Armsby would cheerfully show their soda apparatus and explain its use to any person inclined to investigate the suliject In this article vve wish to show what soda water is. what its medical virtues are when properly made and how injurious it is when improperly made. Soda water is water impregnated with carbonic acid gas, or in other words it is carbonic and water. It' forms a grateful drink to febride jiatieiits allaying thirst, lessening nausea, and gastric distress, and promoting the secretion of the kidneys. The great danger is that tlie fountains when they are old and worn will become poisonous by metallic impregnation.

This is discovered by chemical examinations pt the water which will show the slightest trace of copper-or lead. Whitney Armsby give their soda water a careful chemical examination every week as well as personally supei-iiiteuding its manufacture and will warrant that the soda dispensed by them is entirely free from metallic contamination They make their own flavoring extracts and manufacture their syrups from the purest while sugar apd. will guaran. tee its purely. Notwithstanding the very unpropitiotis weather tlie temperance meeting at the Congregational Cliurcji on Sunday evening was a most auspicious affiir.

Gov Anthony spoke an honratul ten minutes dwelling at some length ou tlie fact that the home education of the rising young was the only true and permanent safe guar'! ag.austtlie evils of ia-temiteraiiee and that home should 1 made more attractive than the ev'I and ir.tcmiK'r.ite associations iifford. Gov, Anthony's address was not embellished by any gre flights of oratory audtdo-q'lonec. but sound and logical and was listened to with marked attention by hi lar.re audience.

We acknowledge the receipt of a com-I'liiiientory to the summer meeting of the Kansas City Exposition Association, held on the 2ud, 3rd and 4th of July.

Farmers wul do well by. rushing their wheat into the barn or stick at the first chance this year, instead of leaving it in the shock for the thrashing machine, for the seasons are out of joint, and we are to have an unseasonable rainy "time in harvest to offset the seasonable-' season of winter and early spring.
