A Great Invention

At the recent sanitary convention in Albion, Dr. V. C. Vaughan said that he had a wonderful contrivance for rendering drinking water safe from disease germs, and gaye a long and minute description of the vessel. Thinking that a new and wonderful kind of filter had been invented, all listened intently, and the two secretaries worked desperately hard in their anxiety to get it all down in long hand, when, after they had covered two pages with notes, Dr. Vaughan wound up by saying that it was a tea Kettle. [Tableau, representin? disgust on the part of the secretarles and pleasure on the part of the audience.] Moral: boíl the driuking water.
