Cisterns ON the Farm.

Prairie Farmer.
There is hardly any one thing on well-regu-
lated farm so much needed as a cistern near the
kitchen door, so the farmers wife will have to
90 but little distance for water, and man
knows how much is used in farmers kitchen,
unless he carries it for his wife for six months
or a year. and if he has to carry it hundred
yards or so from the spring he will wonder
what in the world his wife does with SO much
water.
The cistern should be a large one and hold not
less than 200 barrels, and well built, that is,
walled up with brick and scientifically plastered-
All of the pipes from the roof should lead into
one hopper and one pipe leading from the bot
tom Of the hopper (under ground Is the bestl
into the cistern. In the bottom of the hopper
should be fitted piece of woven wire, which
can be readily taken out and put iii again; the
meshes of the wire should not be larger than
oneeighth of an inch. This piece of woven wire
should never be in its place except
when the water is running into
the cistern, when it will serve as a strainer
to keep leaves or trash of any kind from run
ming into the cistern. wastewater pipe
should be attached to the down pipe (all of the
down pipes should lead into onel which leads
into the hopper, to waste all the water that
comes from the roof until the water is perfectly
clear and free from leaves or trash of any kind;
then the waste-water pipe should be taken Oft
and pipe of proper length slipped into tho
down pipe conducting the water, pure and clean,
into the hopper. But before letting the water
into the hopper, the piece of woven wire
should be put in its place in
the bottom Of the hopper, and after the
rain is over it should be taken out and hung up
In a dry place until wanted again, and the waste
water pipe put on. If the piece Of woven wire is
left in the hopper the meshes will get filed up;
and the hopper will fill with leaves and trash Of
all kinds and run over, and no water got into the
cistern: and if it does it will not be pure. By
this arrangement only pure water will run into
the cistern, but even then it ought to be cleaned
out every fall or early in the spring. Farmers
Will find csteiT in their house lots or inside tho
barn a great convenience, but the one near the
kitchen is of the greatest Importance

Some Advice to Mothers.

New York Mail and Express.
Do remember that other people have children
as well as yourself.
Do believe in child's statements until you are
sure they are incorrect; mistrust breeds es-
arrangement
Do reflect that pert child is an abomnation;
train your children to be respectful and to hold
their tongues in the presence of their superlors
Do, if the baby cries, warm its feet before you
dose it.
Do sing to the little ones; the memory of a
nursery song will cling to them through life.
Do attend to them YOURSELF go-between be-
twixt mother and child is like a middle
man in business, who gets the largest share of
the profits.
Do dress the children sensibly; cover up their
limbs in winter, and study health first and APP
pearenee second.
Do show the children that you love them; do
not expect them to take it on trust.
p Do, as they grow older, win their confidence;
if you do not, somebody else will
DO maintain respectful tone to their father
before them; if he is not all you wish, still make
them respect him; he is always their father, and
disrespect to him is reflection upon yourself.
Do as the boys grow up make companions of
them; then they will not seek companionship
elsewhere.
Do let the children make a noise sometimes
Their happiness is as important as your nerves.
Do respect their little secrets: if they have
eoncealments worrying them will never make
them tell, and time and patience will probably
do theirwork.
Do allow them, as they grow older, to have
opinions of THEN own; make them individuals
and not mere echoes
Do remember that without physical health
mental attainment is worthless let them lead
free, happy lives, which will strengthen both
mind and body.
Do bear in mind that you are largely response
BILE for your child's inherited character, and have
patience with faults and failings
Do talk hopefully to your children of life and
its responsibilities; you have no right to depress
them because you have suffered
Do teach both boys and girls the actual facts Of
life as soon as they are old enough to understand
them, and give them a sense of responsibility
without saddenng them.
Do find out what their special tastes are and
develope them, instead of spending time, money
and patience in forcing them into studies that
are repugnant to them.
Do teach them courtesy by example; be cour-
teous to them.
Do, as long as it is possible, kiss them good
night after they are in bed They do like it so,
and it keeps them very close.
Do, if you have lost child, remember that for
the one that has gone there is no more to do; for
those remaining, everything; hide your griefs for
their sakes.

Seventh-Plant your vines before you put up

groans from within, and, hitehing his horse, he
pushed open the door. Immediately confront

had pulled out to keep his feet warm; and when

The tendency of the Senate at present is
toward becoming an American House Of Lords
with wealth. instead of birth, as the prerequisite
to admission. The upper chamber must newt
ably grow out of sympathy with the people, as
it fills its ranks more and more often with the
tool of corporations, the wealthy lumberman, the
suddenly rich contractor. the venerable million
aire, whose very age units him to share the i'm
puses9of the generation now on the stage The
evil has not yet gone so far to be past remedy,
but the decadence OF the Senate from the ideal
and the realization-of the fathers is already so
marked as to Justify alarm.

Not Pleased with MIR. Gresham.

" washington IDst.
It is a good thing for the reputation of the
Washington family that Mr.. Gresham was not a
leading statesman century since. Among some
original letters Just published is one from Betty
Lewis, George Washington's sister, which she
closes with postscript: "P. s. If you send me
a ticket in the Washington lottery ! will send
you the money by the first safe hand" That
letter would consign the aunt of her country to
prison, and the Father of his Country to fine and
Imprisonment for answering and enclosing the
ticket if they lived now, and the truly good Mr..
Gresham could have his own way.
