Purifying Cistern Water.

Cistern water becomes foul and often
sive, because in contains large amount
of organic matter derived from the roof
of the houses, absorbed from tn air, etc.
This matter may be in the form Of germs,
or it may be in the process Of growth or
decay. 1t may be vegetable or animal,
or both, the latter condition generally
prevailing. This matter undergoes rapid
growth and decay. and exceedingly rapid
multiplication. When the temperature
is warm, as in the summer, there are two
ways to correct the evil: First, by en-
tire separation of all organic matter from
the water; second by its complete de
suction while in the water.
The first object cannot always be &C
complished, as no simple filter would
separate germs, and even if separated the
water could not be kept fer use unexpos-
ed'to the air. An effectual method of pur
iiicaton is accomplished by chemical dc
struction. This may be completely, econ
omicaIy. and safely done by the per
manganate of potassa, used in the pro
portion Of about an ounce to fifty gallons
of water As destructive chemical
changes take place, the organic matter is
reduced, and the whole mass Is precipi
tated as an inert and harmless sediment.
The chemical reaction is marked By a
purple coloring of the solution, and this
color indicates the presence Of organic
matter. The permanganate should be
added until this color disappears, when
you may know that the organic matter
is destroyed; for an infnitessimal quaint
ty of the latter win be detected BY the
former. This preparation of potash may
be obtained al any druggists.-Er

Two brown heads with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet, white and wet with dew
Two eyes black, and two eyes biue,
Little boys and girls were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like shepherd : crook,
Flashed its silver. and thick ranks
of willow fringed its banks
Half in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
lie was taller, most a head;

Swung a basket to and fro.

Chattering to Willie Gray.

And there came a dash of red
Through the BROWNIES of the cheek;
Boys are strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry. so l will,

Katie answered, with laugh,
" You shall carry only half;
Then said. tossing back her curls.
Boys are weak. as well as girls"
Do you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressedy
Men are only boys grown tall;
Hearts don't change much after all.
And when. long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Wiley Gray
Stood AGAIN beside the brook
Bending like a shepherds crook
Is IL strange that Willie said,
While again a dash of red
Crowned the BROWNIES of his cheek.

Life is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep.

And she answered, with laugh,

Close beside the little brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Working with its silver hands
Late and early at the sands,
Stands cottage where to-day
Katie lives with Willie Gray,
In the porch she sits. and loi
Swings a basket to and fro.

That she swung in years agone-
This is long. and deep and wide,
And has rockers at the side.

A STRONG MINDED BABY. .

As little girl. Mrs. Stanton worried
continually over the laws affecting wo
men. So pugnacions was she upon this
subject that her fathers law students de
lighted to tease her by pointing out all
the laws that bore most heavily upon
women. Once, when size was rather
vain glorious over some new coral trinket
particularly malicious youth announced
to her that if she were bis wife he would
take them away from her and wear them
himself. So angry was she at this, that
she determined to cut oct all the f" wo-
mems laws" from the statute book, firm
ly believeing that those belonging to her
father twas the only ones in EXISTENCE
Feeling like budding Joan of Arc, she
prepared for the sacrifice, but before the
invading scissors could be applied, she
was discovered, and her heroism
quenched.
MRS. STANTON SICK OF TALKING WOMEN.
Mrs. Stanton gets very weary of the
weekly meetings of the Suffrage Asso
citation at the Twenty third street Bureau.
She thinks the women there talk great
deal of nonsense. and some of them are
hunting after noteriety. To obviate this
she proposes to exclude reporters, but
Susan A. thinks this rather rash.

The BAPTIST AND PRESBYTERIAN-m
one ofthe villages Of Kentucky, recent
ly, n Baptist minister and young Pres
byterian clergyman preached in the
same house "night about" both preach
ers being present at each meeting. One
evening the Presbyterian, after dis
course on infant baptism, proceeded to
baptiZe several babes. The little candi-
dates made great outcry, which, of
course, was noted by the Baptist man.
Next day number of converts of the
latter were to be immersed in the river
near by. At the appointed hour large
concoursc gathered OH the banks, the
Presbyterian being of the number, and
standing close to the waters edge. At
ter the candidases had been immersed
the Baptist took hold of his Presbvter-
ian colleague and said:
''Now, sir, l will immerse YOU"
The latter, amazed, demurred.
"Come along-I'm in a hurry" re-
piled the damp divine, and dragged his
brother into the water. Alarmed and
indignant, the young Calvinist declared
at the top of his voice that he did mot
believe in immersion, was opposed TO il.
and wonld not submit to it,"
The audience were much excited by
the scene. The Baptist released his hold
and said: young man, will not i'm
merse you to-day; but if ever again |
see you baptiZing little ones against
their own will and spite of their cries
and kicks, as | saw you do last night, /
will dip you into the water as sure's
there's God in Israel! Let us pray,-

PEACH ORCHARD FoRTY-FIyE MILES
LoNG.-George 4. Akers, of Nashville,
who is at present ON visit to Virginia,
writes to a friend in Nashville, from
Petersburg, that ''the breast works in
front of Petersburg thrown up by the
Confederates during the late war, ex-
tending to the left toward Richmond
about twenty miles, and to the right
about twenty-five miles, for the defense
of the city have grown up I'm contin-
uous line of peach trees of every varie-
ty, yielding an abundant crop the pres
ent year. This is the only legacy left
by the Confederates who were on the
advance line within one hundred yards
of the enemy. Having eaten the fruit
while on picket duty they cast the seed
aside, and now they appear in one con-
tinuous line of forty-fve miles in beau
tifnl trees, yielding the greatest variety
of the finest fruit"

ORIGIN OF THE PEW SYsTEM.-One
hundred and seventy years ago an eIe-
CANT Parish Church at Atherstone,
England, was, as all houses of worship
had worshipers, but it entered the mind
of an elderly lady that she would pre-
fer to know where to sit. 1t was un-
pleasant to think that anybody should
be placed beside her. She accordingly
begged to be allowed to put up a piece
of boarding to screen herself off from
the rest of the world. No sooner did
this appear than another wanted a par
tition to enable her to enjoy, as her own
some particular spot. Then an old gen.
tleman thought he would like to have
some accommodation reserved for him.
This closing in the church for this pur-
pose gave its interior such an irregular
and patchy appearance that it was
presently resolved to pew the whole
building, which was accordingly done,
a large share of the expenses being de-
frayed by family well known in the
neighborhood. And so this pew sys-
tenn has grown and grown on, until it
has become ingrained in English church
life

IMPORTANT LAW Survive learn
from an authentic source that Mrs.
Thompson, who was the first settler OH
the present town site of Oswego, in
Labette county, is going to contest the
right, in the United States Land Office,
of the Oswego Town Company, or any
person claiming under them, to enter
the land. We understand that she was
the first settler on the town site; that
she never sold or disposed of her right,
or was in any manner identified with
the Oswego Town Company. These
are significant facts, and are of material
interest to the inhabitants of than beau
tiful young city. Several new and i'm
portant questions will arise in the trial
of the case, which will be of vital in
terest. not only to the citizens of Oswe-
go, but to the citizens of most of the
other towns on the Usage lands the
most important of which will be the
right of any town company to enter
any portion of the Usage lands. The
joint resolution passed by Congress,
April 10th, 1869, enabling settlers to
enter their lands is entirely silent with
regard to the rights of town companies
or corporations of any kind. If the
land Office should decide adverse to the
title of town companies, it will be pro-
ductive of great hardship to the citizens
of many of the towns on the Usage
lands.

CLEANLINEss.-A neat, clean, fresh
aired. sweet, cheerful, well-arranged
house exerts a moral as well as ply
steal influence over its inmates, and
makes the members of family peacea-
bic and considerate of each others feel
ings and happiness. The connection is
obvious between the state of mind thus
produced, and habits of respect for
other and for those high duties and OBJ
legations which no laws can enforce.
On the contrary, filthy, squalid, nox-
ious dwelling In which none of the
decencies of life can be observed, con-
tributes to make its inhabitants selfish,
sensual, and regardless of the feelings
of others. And the constant indulgence
of such passions renders them reckless
and brutal ; and the transforms natural
to propeBsities and habits incompatible
with a respect for the property of
others or for the laws.-Ner York In
