whitman County BOrers Strike a Sub
terranean Tank.

For the past two weeks ]. j. Shupe has
been at work boring well for NJ. c.
True on his property on Main street
where his new hotel will be built. The
constant thud, thud OF the drill was get
ting monotonous as it slowly bored
through the hard rock. At 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning, the shrieks of the
whistle announced that water had been
Struck, and when the drill was Withdrawn
II at once came to the surface. After bor-
ing few more feet through the sand the
water oyerfowed freely to the great sat
lsfaction OF not only Mr.. True, but the in
terested citizens, who soon gathered in
crowds to see the first arteslan well in
Pullman. The hole is six inches in di-
ameter, and flow, by actual measurement,
Is nifty gallons per minute, or p 900
gallons IN twenty-four hours. In cities
where water is used for water closets,
etc., II Is estimated that the consumption
70 each individual is twenty-five gallons
DAY; this well, then, will supply the
needs OF town of 5000 inhabitants.
Although it has not yet been analyzed
magnetic iron is one ofits prominent COM
pohent parts. DIR. Webb, who has tested
IT. says: 'If steel knife be laid in the
waller Tor six hours, or possibly less, it
VIII become SO magnetized that a pen
can be picked up with it." A temporary
tl'eh conveys it to the South Palouse
iiEer. When piped it is raised to a
heisht et at least thirty feet above the
ground, which will enable Mr.. True to
nave water in every room in his hotel.
Inc value OF this we'll to the owner can
no' DC estimated, and the fact that arte-
S''ln water can be had SO easily makes it
possible for Pullman to have, at small

Horticulture for Women.

There is n constantly increasing class
Of outdoor workers among women, who
become such because Of 4 better under
standing Of the laws of health and n
necessity for outdoor exercise Some of
these are content 10 follow the beaten
path, procure few seeds and spend the
summer in transplanting, wedding, water
ing and admiring the flowers. Others
go farther and try to add interest by
increasing the size of their garden, one
Southcrn lady heard of pushing matters
IN this direction until her garden meas
ured nearly an acre, and her varieties
exhausted prominent catalogue. Such
an extension of operations is neither
profitable nor possible to most ladies
who seek health and amusement in their
gardens, nor does it meet the wants of
those who wish to step u triilc out of tho
beaten path. Here and there one goes u
step farther and crosses the threshold
Of the greenhouse and explores very
little the mysteries of artificial plant
propagation and growth. Beyond this
none go leaving uncXplorcd some of the
most attractive and interesting by-ways
Of horticulture
Methods of propagation by budding
and grating, the starting OF difficult
iccds, the laws by which the increase of
many plants is governed and general
botanic knowledge are sealed books to
many women who, if they would only
venture to look into them, would be sur
prised and delighted at the depth of
amusement aud instruction to be found
therein. - Fic&'S Mdgc.ine

Made blind Through Vanity.

About a year ago one of tho most
lovely girls in the State lived Mt 40
Orange avenue, in this city. A pair of
large, liquid blue eyes set off face that
would put any picture to shame, and her
form wns simply perfect. The young
lady was highly educated and possessed
all the qualities that go to make up
society belle. Her parents arc we'll to
do, and she has wanted for nothing
since she was old enough to prattle. But
she had one fault, and that fault has
proved her undoing. 1t is called vanity.
She fairly worshipped her own eyes, and
did everything in her power to make
them more beautiful than they were.
She used numerous drugs before she
found what she wanted. This last drug
made her eyes sparkle like diamonds,
and she used it to such an extent that
her right eye began to shrivel. This
brought her to her senses, and the family
physician was called in. But he came
too late, and informed the poor girl that
she must lose one of her eyes sure and
probably both. The right eye was taken
out some time ago and she has lost all
sight in the left, and will be blind for
life. -EransOitlc (ind.) Times.

VIC could scarcely wait for the time to
come when we could get to our rooms.
Finally it did come, however, and !
read: "Princc Bismarck will grant the

said over long German speeches such as

smiled and smiled, as if he had never
known how to do anything but smile.

and said:
ooh, dear me, Cisy, what if Prince
Bismarck should come and speak to US
while we are in this dark place. There
isn't one thing here that 1 could max o
conversation about.
But just then Heir Won Rottcnberg,
the Princes secretary, came and told us
that the Prince wa in the garden and
would receive us there. never shall
forget how the garden looked. There
was long path in front of US, with a
beautiful foliage meeting above it; tho
green leaves rustled, the little shadows
played all over the ground, and Prince
Bismarck came walking down the path
with his dogs on either side of him.
GLOW do you dot am very glad to
see you"
He looked so jolly that didn't feel
afraid of him any more, especially when
he turned to me and exclaimed:
as that the kind of hats you wear
in Englanda Horriblel They arc too
high"
Then we all walked down the path.

walked with him the rest of the time,
and he showed us his flowers, and
praised every single flower and said how
beautiful and how lovely it was, and We
pctted the dogs aud praised them.
Finally he took us to the koniggratzeI
street entrance into the garden and
wished us good-by, and we managed to
tell him how very, very kind We thought
he had been to us. The great gate
opened and shut; everything was over
