Msefnl and Curious.
MAKING n Chean and Durable Cisteru.

One of my neighbors has been perplexed for
seven or eight years past with n small and leaky
cistern. Whenever the family needed water
most il seemed as If their cistern was empty.
The reservoir was about FIVE feet deep, four in
diameter. One mason would advise sueh a thing to
be done, when he would get 4 job, get his money
and clear out. Another mason would recommend
another plan, and get job. But after the next
shower, when the eistern should be full of water,
most of it would soon leak ont. we advised him
to procure a barrel or two of the best Portland
cement, and we would supervise the rcconstruc-
tion Of a cistern that would hold water until the
dawn of the millennium. Accordingly, he pro
cured n supply of Portland cement, and digger
entered the old cistern, which was bricked mp
and covered with common cement on the sides
and bottom. He ding this cistern about five feet
deeper, allowing the top and side Of the old els
tern TO remain. After the excavation was finish
ed, wooden mallet was used to smooth the dirt
bank and fit the surface for coat Of cement.
mason then laid on coat of cement mortar pre-
pared with four parts of clean sand and one of
the Portland cement. The sides and bottom were
covered completely. After two or three days
another coat about half an inch thick was laid on.
This second mortar was made Of three parts Of
sand and one of cement. As soon as this coat
had become sufficiently dry to hold 4 third coat,
the finishing coat was laid on with much care
over the bottom and clear to the top, covering
the old wall. He now has cistern that will not
leak one drop, and which will remain durable
for more than 100 years.
The chief difficulty in making such cisterns is
that the foundations are not always properly
prepared. When the sides are bricked, cement
mortar is not worked into every interstiee
When the mortar is laid on the dirt bank, the
surface in not made true and smooth for first coat
When cistern is made with good Portland ce-
ment, the reservoir will be as tight as q stone
Jug. After few months, the cement will not
harden the water any more than n stone pot in
which water might be kept.

A RashfiIl Lover

Green Mountain Boy fell in love with a very
pretty girl and determined "tO court her" To
that end he dressed himself in his SUNDAY go-tO-
meeting" went to her fathers house, and found
her alone.
"How dye du p says Janathan.
''I'm nicely" says the girl.
Jonathan took a chair and seated himself in
the faTthest corner of the rOOm, though the
beauty was thing to be feared rather than
loved.
the firer says Sally, suppOsing he would, of
course, if he was going to make love at all, do it
In a proper manner
''NO, thankee; recon I'm comfortable re-
turns Jonathan.
GLOW is your marmiv said Sally
well, she's cOmplainin' little,r said JOna-
than. Here pause of ten minutes ensued, dur
ing which time he amused himself by whiting
n stick.
There's nothn' new up your way, is therei r.
said Sally, which Jonathan might understand as
applying to his present situation, to his IA
Tiers domicil.
''Here! oh-yes, you meant hum; well, no
that Is, yes-our spotted cows got calf" said
Jonathan.
Sally would, undoubtedly, have laughed at this
queer piece of information, only she was too
much vexed at the speaker. At length, after
much protracted silence, Sally got up a very
small edition Of a scream, and in loud voice e1-
claimed, "Let me alOner
''Why," says Jonathan, dropping his knife and
stick in establishment, why, amt touchin'
on ye.'
''Well," says Sally, in a voice which might be
indicative of fear, but sounded very like
quest; "well, amt you gOin' tuf
Jonathan thought moment of this eduivocal
reply, and then placing his knife in his pocket,
he drew his chair by the side of pretty Sally,
gently encircled her waist, and-the next week
they were married.

Rats and TrichinR.

Recent investigation for the purpose of ascer-
tanning all the facts with regard TO trichina and
trichnosed pork and bacon have led TO the con-
clusion that rats are in some way responsible
for the disease, and the present commotion in
commercial circles. The London Daily Neirs of
February twelfth contains the following:
M Clement has had busy week hunting
after trichinosed bacon imported from America
He made great seizure in the house of a whole
sale dealer. Many tons of bacon were condem-
ed The police sanitary officers again warn the
public to carefully eschew bacon that is not
very well cooked; because when once trichna
gets into the muscular tissues science is impot-
emit to prevent death. American dealers should
be careful, if they would not ruin the European
market, to reject hogs fattened in close, dirty
sties,- or on corn which rats infest. The rat Is
probably the originator of the malady."
III, As the Ne,rs suggests, the rat is the origi-
nator of trichina in American pork and bacon,
rat hunt on a continental scale should ut once be
originated. 1t is the first time the charge has
been made against American rats, and If 1t
should result in their determination, guilty or
not guilty of this particular offense, incalculable
good will result to the country. Rats are of no
earthly good in the world, unless Cinnamon set
up a claim in the matter of food. They are a
recognized pest, and when permitted to exist in
large numbers are n calamity, and if the people
are in any degree responsible for trichiua, there
will be rat slaughter of such proportions as
will astonish the world. The rat is an enemy
of mankind. He has no friends. No one except,
possibly, an impecuniOus Acknowledged heather
will take his part, and now that the rat is
charged with originating trichina he must CO.

House CLEASING.-We arc rapidly approach
ing that blissful period when house-cleaning,
with all its joys, will be upon us. Whoever has
walls TO whitewash will learn much from the
following recipe:
White chalk is the best substitute for lime as
a wash. A very fine and brilliant whitewash
preparation of chalk is called paris White"
This we buy at the paint stores at three cents a
pound, retail. For each sixteen pounds Of Paris
white we procure half pound Of the white
transparent glue, costing twenty-five cents. The
sixteen pounds of Paris White is about as much
as a person will use in day. Il is prepared as
follows: The glne is covered with cold water
at night, and in the morning is carefully heated,
without scorching, until dissolved. The Paris
White is stirred in with hot water, enough to
give it the proper milky consistency for applying
to the walls, and the dissolved glue is then adj
ded and thoroughly mixed. 1t is then applied
with brush like the common lime whitewash.
Except on very dark and smoky walls and cell
ings q single coat is sufficient. 1t is nearly
equal in brilliancy to "Zinc White" far more
expensive article

A Drop Of Oil.

Every man who lives in house, especially if
the house be his own, should oil all the various
parts Of it once in two or three months. The
house will last much longer, and will be much
more quiet to live in. Oil the locks, bolts and
hinges of the street door, and it will shut gently
with luxurious ease, and with the use of q little
amount of force. neglected lock requires
great force to cause il to shut, and with so much
violence that the whole house, its DOORS its win
dows, its very floors and joists are much shaken,
and in time they get out of repair in all sorts OF
ways, to say nothing Of the dust that is displac-
ed every time the place is 50 shaken. The inces-
SAINT banging of doors, scroOping of locks, creak-
ing and screaming Of hinges, is a great discom-
fort. Even the bell-wire cranks should some
times be oiled, and they will act more certainly
and with such gentle force that there will he lit
tie danger of breaking any part of them. The
castOrs of tables and chairs should be sometimes
oiled, and they will move with such gentle i'm
pulse and so quietly that sleeping child or m
old man is not awakened. A well-oiled door
lock opens and shuts with hardly n whisper.
Three penny worth of oil used in large house
once year, will save many shillings in locks
and other material, and in the end will save
many pounds in even the substantial repairs of
house; and an old wife living and sleeping in
quiet repOse will enjoy many more years Of even
temper and active usefulness. Housekeepers,
pray do not forget the oil. stitch in time
saves nine, and drop in time saves pounds.

To Prevent the Rottine of Wood.

from rotting while in the ground, the following
receipt has been sent to the Societe d'Encourage-
ment, Paris: A certain paint is used which has
the hardness of stone, which resists damp, and
is very cheap. II has been in use for the last
five years-50 parts resin, 40 parts finely-pow-
dered chalk, 300parts fine hard sand, parts lin
seed oil, part red oxide of lead, and part Of
sulphuric acid, mixed together. The resin,
chalk, sand, and linseed oil are heated together
in an iron boiler, the red lead and the sulphuric
and the composition is applied while hot. If it
he not found sufficiently fund, it may be made
thinner by adding some more linseed oil. This
paint, when cold and dry, forms varnish of the
hardness of stone

Sugar from Indian Corn and Sorghum.

DR.. Collyer, chemist of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, referring TO the ex-
pertinent in making sugar from Indian corn and
sorghum, says:
"If Congress will give me ten acres of ground
to experiment on next season, l will return
twenty tons of raw sorghum sugar, fully equal
TO the best raw cane sugar. or forfeit my reputa-
tion. That is two tons to the acre, and q much
better result than the average in Louisiana with
sugar cane. 1.-THE corn crop of Illinois, for ex-
AMPLE said DIR. Colyer, sis worth about seven
ty-five millions annually. If they will devote
one-tenth the average to sorghum of the variety
best suited To the latitude, they can raise sugar
equal to whole annual importation, about
SiO9 600 600 worth, and even this will equal only
fifty per cent. of the most favorable of my ex-
periments. The secret" he continued, ''nOw
that the method of capitalization is understood,
lies simply in the time to gather their crops,
and in this respect my experiments are complete
and conclusive
"What is the total cost of production :" the
doctor asked.
''Well, on that point cannot speak def
nifty, but see reason why it should exceed
three cents pound. Raw sugar now costs q
fraction more than six cents, but about forty
five per cent. of that is for duties We can
tainly raise sugar from sorghum much cheaper
than buy If abroad "

To make whitewash for farm buildings, put

To make q whitewash for farm buildings, put
into common wooden pail few Jumps Of fresh
lime, about quarter of peck, and add water
until the pail is nealy full. When the lime is
Stacked the mixture should be about the consis-
tency of cream. This may be applied while
fresh with broad brush. If color is required,
some Spanish brown may be added to make a
free-stone brown-stone color as may be desired.
A more durable wash, that will answer as it
paints, is made as follows: Take half bushel
of fresh lime, slack il in tub with boiling water,
keeping it covered; when Stacked strain through
a fine sieve, add seven pounds of salt previously
dissolved in hot water, three pints Of ground
rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in the
liquid while hot, one-half pound Of powdered
Spanish whiting, and one pound of clean glue
dissolved in hot water; to this five gallons of hot
water is then added, and the whole is well STIR
red, when il is left to stand a few days. When
wanted for use, it is to be heated in large kettle
and put ON hot. One pint of this will cover a
square yard, and it will not wash off. II color
is desired, Spanish brown is added to suit.

THE COOLEST MOTHER.

Evening WAS falling cold and dark,
And people hurried along the way.
As II they were longing soon to mark
Their own home candies cheering ray.
Before me toil-d, In the whirling wind.
A woman with bundles great and small,
And after her tuggrd, step behind,
The bundle she loved best Of all
A dear little roly poly boy.
With rosy cheeks and = jacket blue;
Laughing and chattering. full Of joy.
And here's what he szid-I tell you true:
You're the 9oodest mother that ever was,"
A voice n clear A. . forest birds:
And I'm sure the glad young heart had cause
To utter the sweet Of the lovely words.
Perhaps the woman had worked al day,
Washing or scrubbing; perhaps she sexed
knew. by her weary footballs way,
That life for her was an uphill road
But here was comfort, children dear;
Think what . comfort you might give
To the very best friend yoa can have here.
The lady fair In whose house you live.
II once In while you'd stop and say.
In task or play, for . moment pause
And tell her. In sweet and winning way,
You're the goodest mother that ever Wa
