Mr.. w. II. White, in Coutry Cen
tleman, considers rain water cistern
one of the best investments that, can
be made by the farmer. This, we
would add, is especially true OF the
western country where most wells
furnish little but the surface water
of the prairies. A good cistern may
be constructed at small cost, and
should be in the most convenient
place for getting the family supply.
But we are going to give Mr.. Whites
method of constructing the cistern.
He says the most convenient and
in form under ground, with the sides
and bottom lined with stone or
brick, and arched over the top, ex-
cept a man-ho!e for the convenience
of cleaning, and all carefully plaster
ed with cement. Where the ground
lis sufficiently firm the cement may
be plastered directly on the earth
|below the reach of frost, but the
arch will necessarily have to be Of
stone or brick. All snch cisterns
should be covered with earth at
least three feet deep, to prevent
freezing, and for keeping the water
fresh and good. 1t is always advis'
able to have two compartments in
the cistern---one for the water to en-
ter, and the other for drawing from.
The dision may be of soft brick,
Through xhich the water will filter
THE cement to be employed in con
Istruction should be of the first quail.

NEW INSTITUTION.

Mr.. Fred J. Peabody has. hit the
nail square On the head by putting
up a large quantity of ice, for sale
next summer. He has built an ice
house 20x4O feet and IL feet high
which, those who have experience in
the business say, wiil,,preserve ice
very satisfactorily. 1t il now filled
and contains two hundred and fifty
tons of ice as clear as crystal. The
blocks are about twenty inches each
way and look like glass. The ice
house is on the block just south of
the School house.
For cutting ice Mr.. Peabody
rig red up an ice pillow which is, in
most respects, an entirely new ar
rangement. 1t worked admirably
and very efficiently. The ice was
taken out in blocks five feet in
length and afterwards sawed into
three pieces.
Mr.. Peabody will deliver ice next
summer. The project will meet a

Burdetie on the Rail.

We steam out of the city on the
Grand Trunk railway, passing through
rather than over, the great Victoria
bridge, the largest tubular bridge in
the world, in which 100000 tons of
stone and 1900 tons of iron we're used,
and which cost about 81 25O, 900. Two
abutments and twenty-four piers sup
port The superstructure; there are
twenty-five spans, the centre one is $50
feet, each of the others 242. feet; the
bridge, including the abutments, is
1000 feet long. The centre opening is
sixty feet above the water level; the
weight of iron in the tubes is 1000 tons.
The tubes through which the trains
pass are twenty-five feet high by six
teen feet in width, in the middle spar
and nineteen by sixteen feet at the ends.
The tubes are perfectly air tight, and
when a train wishes to cross the bridge,
it is damned tightly into the end of the
tube, the windows are all shut down,
steam off, and the gateman, placing the
end of the tube in his mouth, gives a
tremendous puff and the tram shoots
through at the rate of four hours a
mile. There is the advantage of a tub
ular over the other kind. A man might
blow the never dying soul out of
himself, and he couldn't blow a train
through an ordinary open work truss
bridge. Too much vent. AS it is, it
is terribly hard on the man at Victoria
bridge. He has to be relieved every
twenty-four hours, and then he only
lasts a few years.-Burlington Ha,ok-

FASHION FANCIES.
Broad belts are worn with most toilets

Broad belts are worn with most toilets
and costumes.
Basques are made of different mater
ial from the costume.
Three or four short curls from one of
the most stylish inishings at the back
of the couture.
The ecru mitts are the most useful,
for they a be worn with any color;
and also with black or white.
Chain stitch is used to decorate many
of the light transparent mantles in pre-
paration for the hot weather.
Lace and Grape shawls are drawn into
folds on the shoulders, so hat only a
small point is LETT to hang the back.
Many fashionable dresses are made
with the fan waist in favor many years
ago aud so becoming to slender figures.
A favorite way of wearing the broad
sash so popular at present is to place it
around the waist to form a belt, and to
tie it carelessly ON the left side in a
large, loose knot.
Foulard morning wrapper are trim
med with Breton lace and piped with
bright colors. They are simply shaped,
and the lace is either laid across the
front in graduated rows, or else straight
down the front.
Small bouquets in~terspersed among
pufings are a favorite mode of orna-
menting evening dresses where a thin
material is employed, either in combin-
alton with thick, or with another thin
fabric. The pufings usually appear in
perpendicular lines, and the bouquets
are set at intervals of about six or eight
inches apart from each other. Clusters
of flowers are also much used, and are
attached wherever it may seen taste
full or appropriate. This is in keeping
with the idea of wearing a cluster of
flowers placed carelessly on the corsage
on ordinary day costumes.

HAUNTED HOUSE.-CorreSp0nde OF the

That the parsonage occupied by the Rev. Moses
ID. HOgc, OF the Presbyterian Church, and Sit
uated on the corner on Main and 9TH StreetS Is
haunted. Dr.. Hoge IL Is stated has the utmost
difficulty IN keeping servants. They come and
stay one month and see the mysterious appari-
ton and hear the human sigh, and then they
leave, nor do they wait long for wages. The
house was built and occupied for years by Major
Gibbon. distinguished officer in the colonial
army. After the revolutionary war he
lived there in handsome style. About
the hour of midnight a figure robed in
white walks with solemn step through
tie hail and FaIiiSheS nOfSeieSSly. 1t is said by
those who claim to have seen il 90 be the figure
OF lady. AMI that as the figure sweeps by a
deep drawn sigh is heard, which proceeds from
the back parlor in the house. Such is the
strange tale which tAe adri9hted servants tell
II is strange that servants come there from q
distance who have never heard Of the traditions
Of the house, ana upon the first night see the
same figure. They all tell the same story The
hgure can not be traced to any authentic source
but many have heard the deep drawn sigh
Which proceeds from the back parlOr Upon
going into the parlor nothing is seen or heard,
tsut Immediately upon going out in the passage
the sigh Is heard again. 1t is only heard about
the hour OF twelve O'Clock at night. Ii Is at
