Cisterns.

Look well TO your cisterns. To any one who
has examined the contents of cisern, it ID
evident that the water and dirt at the bottom
often has strong stencil in them, while the
water in the upper part Of il is comparatively
sweet and pure. This is owing to the animal
matter that settles at the bottom, forming a
mass of puirid carrion.
In all rain, river, and sea water, there are
immense numbers Of animals so small as to be
invisible to the naked eye. Infuse little pep
per into it, to give activity to them, and then
place it under microscope, and II will be
alive with animals. They are called infusoria.
They are short-lived, and from their immense
numbers often form One-fourth Of the rich mud
at the mouths of rivers.
So with the mud in the bottoms Of our cis-
terms. Il is caused, principally, by the dep
Osit of this animal matter, and undergoes de-
composition, putridity, and produces stencil,
the same as any other animal matter. Unless
il is cleaned ont at least once year, the water
becomes the essence of carrion. To say noth-
ing Of the unpleasant smell, its use, undoubt-
edly, is often the cause of sickness and DEATH
