absence of danger. Risk is lacking simply
because the men who compete are all skillful

Boring an Artesian Well.

The mechanical operation of boring a well
is exceedingly difficult, and many of the fail
ures to obtain artesian water in tested dis
tricts are undoubtedly due to the careessneSs
or ignorance of the well borers, or to the in
efficiency of their tools. The American ap-
paratus, most of it patented and manufac-
tured by various firms, seems to combine
strength and utility to a greater degree than
the European machinery described in text
books. A complete well boring outfit can be
had for from $500 to $500; and sometimes
farmers club together, buy an outfit, and
work it themselves, though it is always best
to employ trained wen borer The danger
of breaking tools, Of dropping something in
the bore, or of checking the descent OF the
pipe, so that a smaller bore mast be adopted,
are dangers that only great skill can avoid
Wells that start out bravely with a bore of
fifteen inches in diameter, often fail to strike
water with more than a SIX or eight inch
bore. The flow at the top IS of course dim

A WOMAN'S WISDOM.

A Most Interesting Conversation With
Ono of the Best Ladies In the land
Some Valuable Things She Has OBJ
served and the Advice She Gives.
''Of all the ladies / have met during the
past five years." said Mrs. Staunton recently,
while attending a temperance convention in
New York, 81 have not seen more than
twenty who seemed entirely well and happy.
] have watched the faces OF ladies very care
fully for many years, and on nearly every one
have seen either lines of care or unhappiness,
swollen eyelds, dark lines around them, OF
some equally certain evidence of Ill health and
unhappiness | am firm advocate of tenn
perance, but believe ladies should take some
good tonic or stimulant, and something too,
that is known to be pure and reliable. | have
tried Duffy's Malt, and have been benefited by
it, and while | do not advocate its use by all,
/ think very many women could be made
healthier, happier and more attractive to their
husbands, lovers, friends and families II they
would do likewise"
The above is only one of many great testi-
monials from prominent ladies Of America as
to the pure toning power OF Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey. IL is Il remedy, tonic, and not a
beverage. 1t certainly stimulates the clrcul0-
tion, tones up the life, purfles the blood, gives
brightness and health to women, strength to
men, and is being indorsed by physicians, the
clergy, and the more advanced thinkers. 1t
should be borne in mind, however, that there
are very many INSCRIPTIONS people who seek
to profit by the well.known standing and
reputation which Dufiy's Pure Malt Whiskey
has achieved, and will claim that they have
preparations just as good. Bear in mind that
Duify's Pure Malt Whiskey has grown In
popularity for yeais; that 1t Is acknowledged
MS the only pure remedy of the kind on the
Market that 1t contains no fusl oil, and that
it invariably benefits all who intelligenty

trying TO determine the question of au-

formed on the northwest of Thomas
Circle. and formed by the intersection
of Massachusetts avenue and NJ street.
Annie G. Colo is about to erect dwell
ing house on the corner, and she is pre-
pairing to erect bay window extending
5 feet on to the parking. Col. Wilson
claims that this space is n reservation.
The Inspector of Buildings holds that
il is private parking, being cOntin-
uation of the thirty-siX feet parking on
the avenue and the eighteen feet on NJ
street. 1t is very long the angle formed
by the streets being very acute. The
Inspector also makes the point that

no control over the space between the
