The cistern should be cleaned out.
A very large quantity of filth collects
on roofs and is washed into cisterns,
and this quickly ferments and gives of
very offensive gases which are ab-
sorbed by the water. A cistern there
fore needs thorough cleaning every
spring, and should be provided with
filter made of gravel, sand and char
coal, through which the water passes
on its way from the roof. A simple
filter of gravel ana even of coarse fan
mel will arrest much of the matter
which is washed from the roof. and
after a dry time when this collects
abundantly in the cutters, the use on
a filter is very desirable. A filter may
be made of barrel prepared as fol-
lows: Bore in the bottom large num-
Der of holes and lay a screen of fine wire
gauze over these; on the screen place
two or three inches of fine washed
gravel; on this foul inches of clean
river or sea sand washed; then six
inches of finely broken charcoal; on
this lay four inches Of the washed sand;
then three inches of the fine gravel
and a covering of small stones to re-
ceive the water, which is best run
through a rose strainer to spread the
force of the water and avoid disturbing
the filtering layers. The barrel should
be placed over the cover Of the cistern.
Every spring this filter should be taken
again. Every care should be exercised
to keep the cover of the cistern tight
aud to exclude dust, worms, mice. rats,
ETC., all of which are frequent sources
of pollution of cisterns. 1t is recon-
mended to put bag OF charcoal in the
cistern to absorb the foul odors. This
is exceedingly bad advice. 1t is only
temporary device; it only mitigates
the evil for time, and it misleads the
people into danger. The foul gases
from corrupt cistern are Il most seri-
ous danger to health and may very
Easily provoke attacks OF malignant
md fatal diseases. The cause of the
evil should be removed and avoided

NORWEGIAN BEDS.

Their Unparalleled Hardness Is Equaled
Only by Their Smallness.
A good bed, clean. well-aired and
neither too hard nor too soft, is a
luxury not to be found at every inn. A
traveller in Norway complains feelingly
of the beds OF that country, so hard
and small, and so poorly made up
POSSIBLY the people get so weary with
their days work that they have no
need of luxurious cOuches when night
comes As hunger is the best sauce,
so sleepiness is the best pillow.
How it has ever come about that the
Norwegian notion of beds should be
so restricted, am at a loss to imagine.
They are simply child's cribs-no

instances so narrow that it is impos-
sible to turn over quickly in them

asthmatic patient who can not breathe

likes to coast down hill in his bed of a
morning. The single pillow is placed
on this; the short. narrow sheet flung
loosely over it; blanket. ditto; cover

AS Tom LaPoint was moving the
grass in his front yard Wednesday
morning, January 23d, on the farm of
Alvah DIN, he heard a rustling in tie
grass, and ON looking little closer
discovered a snake two feet long
which he killed after prolonged
fight. A snake moving around at this
time of the year in this latitude is
a novelty. The snake was brought in
and exhibited at the Archer House,
Thursday Mortified News.
If the above was related by almost
any one else we should be inclined to
doubt the truth of it; but being
vouched for by Joel p. Heatwole, edi-
tor of the News and late secretary OF
the Republican state central commit
tee, man who has been Republican
so long that he don't know how to tell
a lie, of course we are bonnd to believe
every word of this snake story.

The Southern Boom

Has assumed proportions which at
tract more and more attention from
many classes in the north--the capital
lists, seeking to develope new enter
prises; the speculator, engaged in lay
ing out new towns and selling corner
lots; and the farmer or gardener who
is looking for milder climate, and
an escape from the long and severe
winters of his present abode. Rir-
mingham, Alabama, and Atlanta,
Georgia, are conspicuous examples OF
new manufacturing and trade centers,
while all through Tennessee, Ala
bama and Louisiana new towns are
springing up, and the promise of the
future IS very bright. To visit and
investigate this pleasant land, "The
Burlington" Is the line to take, direct
either to Chicago, and thence to the
south, or to st. Louis, thence to all
southern points. Every accomoda-
ton is afforded that is known in
