tsgnTrP WORKS

Tho long drouih just experienced
should teach egery resident Of Ian
caster the ritter nonsense Of depending
on cisterns for water supply in case of
fire. Neatly all tie cisterusin town
have been dry for weeks and the wells
cannot be reached wih our present fire
apparatus. Tue HERALD did not in
tend to let this question rest SO long but
matters of more immediate execution
crowded il 10 ore side.
There have been several water works
agents ere looking the field over and
it is tho universal opinion that a
reservoir could be built at the springs
At The Excelsior factory which would
supply an water needed for the city.
Tie cost of water mains, stand pipe.
pumping engine and hydrants, is near
II the same in all cases. A good
seryicible plant can be put in for Sl0,-
coo. Nothing consistent with prrma-
nencY and efficiency can be built at less
eost-they all agree on that OF course.
any money expended beyond that
amount viii make good still better.
There is no question but what Lancas-
ter must have water works of some
kind Aud there is no doubt in the
HERALD's mind but that to spend a
penny for allimsey contrivanco is worse
than shameful waste. There is only
one way 70 ct decent system here,
and that is bJ the merchants, others
wishing ample water for all purposes,
and capitalists. ID get together, talk the
matter over and form stock company.

The w c. T. Z will meet Friday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
JAS. F. Rhodes.
Rev. Norris. Of Webster City, Iowa,
is conducting union revival services in
the Congregational church this week.
The sermons are very interesting and
every bndy is invited to attend.
The fiscal year Of the Grant county
Asylum ended Oct LIST; and, all bills
and accounts being made, shows the
State indebted to the institution to the
extent Of $I2.3l6. The expenses Of
the Asylum for the year have been less
than $4,000, leaving balance of over
$3,31G.
II is not often that place the size OF
Lancaster is fortunate enough to have
such treat as the political address by
j. +. Finerly is sure to be. The report
of his speech in Galena says: "He
has the advantage of classical educa-
ton which has been enriched by extern
sive reading, and lie is one of the most
cultured and brainy men that Ireland
has contributed TO American citizen
ship lie was formly a Member OF
Congress from the Second Dirtrict in
Chicago, and is editor of the Chicago
citizen. 1t is said that no man in
America except James G. Blaine has
been more in demand during this cam
paign for Republican speeches than
John +. Finerty."
One Of the serious difficulties in house .
keeping in Lancaster is the scarcity of
help. The wages paid here are as good
as any place of its SIZE ranging from
Sl50 10 $3.50 a week. Any girl of
ordinary strength is able to do the work
in small family where at least 90 90
week will be paid. This with her
board amounts to the average wages of
country school teachers or girls doing
any work except sewing by the day and
gives much more leisure time than any
other occupation. The only qualilica-
tons necessary for this occupation are
strength, neatness and honesty. Any
lady is willing to teach girl her ways
and how to do work to which she has
not been accustomed.

The Funeral Month Of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition by
the state Of the hair!
The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness q serious affection and
julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has q pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose OF sim
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance OF the
forehead and nose and lower part OF the
face, is one Of those whom the skilled ply
stefan will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month Of March, because it
Is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell US is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause OF that
cough cures the disease Of the lungs.
That is all there Is Of 1t.
The cough is an evidence Of wasting.
To stop it effectually, . remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This IL the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion OF
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
ioncd preparation Of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula Of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense
It is not mere cold dryer. 1t is system
searcher and upbuilder and consumption
expellant Where others fail, it wins, be
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system. ~
i J.W. Heusaw of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan
Is, 1883, reported that "he had derived
moro real benefit for the length Of time
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con
sumption, remedy than he had for year.
from the best state physicians"
II you have cough, night sweats, "posi

There is growing demand among

is no doubt that their eggs contain

DISEASES OF POULTRY.



Clean and Well Fed.
The best and only way in which to
prevent fowls from having diseases is
to look with unremitting care to the
cleanliness of their food and water. of
the vessels in which they are fed and
watered. as well as to the thorough
cleanliness and proper ventilation of
their houses. and they be not crowded
in their houses. or have wet floor un-
der them. Then. of course. in confine-
ment or on limited range, one must
supply them with what they would find
for themselves. il free. A dust bath,
part ashes and part dirt with little
sulphur added; ground shells and
bones; fine gravel; meat of some kind,
two or three times a week; onions,
also. and supply Of charcoal broken
up for them, and constant daily sup
ply Of vegetables or green stuff Of some
kind" This is the doctrine of the
poultry business as we have been try
ing to preach It, Keep the hens clesn
and we'll fed, avoid dirt. hunger and
wet floors, and you will prevent dis
ease getting foothold. and preven-
ton is better than cure. If. from ex-
posture to cold. rain, or some such
cause, bird shows signs Of roup, adj
minister slug or two. separate he'
from the others, keep her warm. give
her strengthening food. including some
bits OF raw meat. or little milk. and
she may be cured; but for an advanced
case of roup. or an attack of cholera

Some inventive genius about two months
ago set afioat yarn to the effect that the
White House was infested with rats.
There are to-day letters coming to the
President founded on that basis. All Of
them came from Frenchmen, curiously
enough, and all Of them propose some
means of getting rid Of the pest One
was. oddly, from a cheese-manufacturer
in the Province Of Eure, and, unlike all
the rest of the rat doctors, hs did not ask
for any reward for his recipe. He advised
catching one Of the rodents alive, cutting
slit in the skin Of his back, putting q
good dose Of salt and pepper undernea tn,
and letting the animal 60 again. The
Frenchman veraciously predicts that the
rat will run through the house uttering
piercing cries, and that these cries Of
warning will warn his companion rats to
escape.
