CnuhoIesom. Wells.

The great trouble with wells is that
in the course of years the ground around
the house and barn becomes so impreg-
mated with sewage and other contamina-
tons as to affect the water. In the first
report of the Massachusetts, board Of
health, DR.. Derby says: "As rule, Q
well receives drainage from asuperhcial
circular area whose diameter is from
one to three times the depth Of the well.
varying with the character of the soil"
On this principle no we'll thirty feet
deep should have privy, pig-pen. barn
yard or cesspool within fifty feet Of 1t
In any direction, nor should any slops
of the house or refuse OF any kind be
thrown upon the surface OF the ground
within the area Of this circle. How
many farms are there on which this
principle Is not violatedl 1t b not
sufficient reply to say that the family
have drank from such wells with Inn
punity for q score or more OF years.
It must be remembered that when
wells were first dug the water was
pure, but the ground has been grad
ually impregnated with foul matter,
which, II it has not already permeated
to the water will finally reach and
contaminate it. After fatal case OF
typhoid fever 1t will be too late to re-

What One New York Girl Did.

When a girl concludes to put up he
hair and make herself look sweet. tho
best policy is TO let her have her own
way. She can't be drawn away from
her mirror by any Of the ordinary
things OF this life. A fire will some
times do Il. but II has been shown that
even fire may fail to excite some girls
The other night New York lodging
house took fire. and st n most uncom-
Portable hour, when most girls probably
have their back hair down. One OF the
young ladies heard that the place was
burning down, but she didn't feel like
making her appearance before the crowd
which had gathered In the street look
ing like perfect fright. She shut the
door leading into the hall TO keep out
the flames and went TO her mirror TO dX
her hair. Anybody who has waited for

time and great deal of it. This girl
wasn't any quicker than the average.
and she was very particular about hav-
ing her hair done up exactly rs 1t
should be. The fire had cut of her
chances of escape by the stairs. and her
lover. after appealing to her for some
time. finally lost his patience and got
away without her. A fireman got up 70
the room on ladder and she made him
sit on the edge of the window and wait
until she had arranged her hairpins md
ribbons for right sort Of public appear

arms-it was so romantic and slid
down the ladder with him, looking just
sweet. The whole thing was tremend-

girl was safely landed on the pavement
