How u Make q Well.

Mr.. j. W. Pinkham has u paper OF
"Wells and Oisterns" in Scribner fol
September, with plans showing how
they are. contaminated, and how they
should be constructed. He says of wells
First, of course, the well must be &c
constructed that il cannot act M drain
for the neighboring soil. This can be
done by making the wall above low.
water mark of some material impervious
to water, or by emitting this part Of the
wall altogether. The first can BIO ac-
complished by having the wall from a
point two or three feet from the bottom
made of brick with coating of hydraulic
cement on its exterior, or of hydraulic
well-tubing with the jennings well pro-
tected with cement; in either case, the
earth should be thoroughly packed
around the wall, and slight embank-
ment should be made around the orifce
to prevent the inflow of surface or
storm water.
In such well the draining surface is
80 reduced, and placed at such distance
below the surface of the ground, that in
the great majority of instances, the in
PRODUCTION of foreign matter becomes
impossible, except in so far rs there is
chance that substances will fall into the
well from above. To prevent this the
well should be kept covered when not
in use. In most cases, however, il is
better to omit the upper part of the
wall altogether. After the excavation is
completed, the wall can be built in the
usual manner for distance of two or
three feet, more or less, rs circum-
stances may demand; the service pipe
can then be placed in position, and the
well arched over. The remainder of the
excavation can then be filled with earth,
well packed as it is thrown in, and the
pipe carried to any convenient point. 1t
will be necessary to place above the
arch several layers of stone SUCCESSFULLY
smaller, to prevent the falling of earth
into the space below.
The workmen will probably suggest
layer of turf or straw to accomplish this
object, but the presence of either of
these substances will cause the water to
be unpleasant for considerable time,
and will prove the cause of much an
noyance.
There is prevalent notion that a well
should be ventilated for the purpose of
allowing noxious gases to escape; and
that water is better for being exposed to
the air. hardly need state that the
only noxious gases in well a., c., gases
which render the water unwholesome(
are the products of the decomposition of
organic matter which has found it's way
into the well, in ways which have been
described above, and that water as it
flows in its subterranean passages is
more perfectly aerated than it can be in
any other way.

Turkish Ceremonies.

The Turks pray for their dead, and
invocate their saints to intercede for
them. Every Mussulman has his own
guardian angel. They believe that the
soul returns to the body when it is en-
tombed. If the man has led an evil life
the angels of the grave-Monkia and
Guanequir-torment him until the day
of Judgment. If his life has been virtu-
GUS, his abode in the grave is one of
pleasure and contentment. The Turks
recognize the ten commandments of
Noses and enforce them with five others
added by Mahomet These are First,
to believe in and worship one only God !;
second, to fast during the Rhamadan !;
third, to pray at certain hours fourth,
to give the fortieth part Of their income
to the poor fifth, to go on a pilgrimage
to Mecca once IN their life. In the OBJ
servance of the first they are very scru-
pulous and reverential /; they never
undertake anything of importan ce with
out invoking the blessing of Heaven.
The second commandment is kept dur
ing the Rhamadan, the month in which
the Koran came down from heaven.
This fast begins as soon as the crescent
of the new moon can be seen from the
highest hills. When the
Rhamadan's last sun hath SET
the festival of the Bairam begins, during
which they do their utmost to reconcile
estranged friends and to Danish enmities
and i'll feelings.
The Turkish mosques are fanked by
minarets, which are surrounded by bal
comics. When the hour of prayer ar
ives, the muczim cries from the minaret:
"Allah Akbar, etc. God is great;
bear witness there is but one God, and
Mahomet is His prophet /; come and pre-
sent yourselves to the mercy OF God,
and ask forgiveness Of your sins God is
great" This cry is addressed success
lively to the south, east, north and west.
They pray five times day-at day
break, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and
night. During the time of prayer they
are grave, attentive and reverential, on
their knees, and repeating the words of
the imam (priest) in low tone. After
prayers an anthem is chanted. Three
DAYS in the week the imam delivers a
sermon, explanatory of some points in
the Koran (Mohammedan Bible). The
imam always concludes with prayer for
the sultan, and the success of his ar mics
to which all the people say Amen

A writer in Country Gentleman says
When boy from ten to fourteen years
of age, ] was taught to milk and do other
"chores night and morning, before and
after school hours. My father was a
farmer ~ well M politician. He pas,
tured his cattle upon the meadows after
moving, and in the late autumn and
midwinter, when the ground was bare,
oil the heaps or balls Of debris ON the
meadows and pastures were broken and
distributed by using a mani. Saturday
was vacation from school, and worked
at beating and scattering the debris on
the pasture lands, being paid by my
father ten cents day for eight hours.
accumulated 81. for which my father
sold me heifer calf, and bargained to
keep it for me by my working half day
each week. This ] did and at the end
of one year l exchanged my heifer with
my father for two male calves. Almost
every day after these calves were two
weeks old ! occupied my spare time in
teaching them to work in the yoke-a
small one, with two bows, which friend
made for me. At two months old they
would "gee and shaw" as we'll az old
oxen. They were then turned to pas.
ture until September. When my father
was moving the grass on his salt
meadows, situated on the borders of
Long Island Sound, these calves were
taken and used to lead the heaviest.cat-
tie team over the meadows. Again, they
were used in mid-winter to lead the team
in breaking in his two-year-olds. As
these calves or young steers grew up,
taught the near OK to let me ride him,
while the off OK would come along in his
place, and so I often drove my fathers
stock from the pasture to the barnyard.
So much for my early "choring" and
team work.
After was thirteen my father gave
me piece of ground each year, that I
could plant and work on shares, and if I
wanted help l had to give two days of
my time to the hired mans one day. I
grew just what my fancy and reading
dictated, and from the proceeds I
dressed as well as any of the boys of the
present time. I always had some time
to play. and time to read, and now look
back with love and pleasant thoughts to
the old farm, and the farm hand who
taught me to use tools, to hold the pillow,
and to bring the point and heel of my
scythe 30 as to leave the swath clean and
true. Once, when driving the OK team
to the pillow, I failed in keeping them in
n straight line at the end of the frrrow,
but danced for it when the plowman
took the whip from my hands and laid
it heavily over my back and legs. I
always afterward drove the team out
straight, and I have tried to drive it |
straight now over seventy years.
The remembrance of my own boyhood
has always induced me to favor all items |
Of encouragement at home on the farm,
md I believe if it we're more generally |
oracticed we should have more good
armers and less broken-down merchants,
,r loafng, hanging-on, time-serving
clerks, ready for anything except hon
,rable labor and usefulness, belonging
o the highest order Of creation.

digestion and insures the conversion of food
into blood whereby the system is efficiently
nourished and regains its lost vigor. This

borne voluntary testimony to its
excellence, and the public has long since given
it the preference to every medicine of its kind.
