LINCOLN, August T.
The special water committee will know in
few days whether the scheme 10 shut OF
the flow of salt water in the Il street well is
asuccess. When the first attempt was mado
several years ago to increase the supply
from that well six-inch pipe was driven
down some forty feet-to such n depth in
fact that salt water vein was tapped. The
pipe was filed with cement, but the flow OF
brine continued, and despite the many In,
genious devices that have beon attempted, it
still flows whenever the pumps are put in
operation. The scheme the committee is
now working on is to sink caisson around
thus six-inch pipe aud fill it with either
cement or blue mud. The caisson Is twenty
nine feet long and will be sunk TO the
stratum of clay Immediately above the salt
VEN. The idea tho committee base their ex-
pertinent on is that the flow Of brine comes
from around the base of the six-inch pipe in
putting which the clay stratum was broken.
The caisson will be put down Tuesday; tho
water will then be pumped out to the depth
of eleven feet, and the work OF putting in tho
cement begun. The result is awaited with
interest by our citizens. In the event of its
proving failure the we'll will be abandoned
and an additional water supply sought else
where.

Pooling q Sheep-dog.

| was staying with a Kentucky farmer
one night, says writer in the New
York Sun, and soon after supper he
said to his three sons:
"Well, boys. it is the right sort of a
night and reckon you'd better put the
wool on and lie low"
When I asked for an explanation of
his strange words he invited me to go
out to the barn, where the boys had
preceded us, and where 1 found each
one covered with disguise made of
sheepskin. Each one had short heavy
club, with a portion of it ornamented
with sharp spikes, and when ready they
went over TO the pasture where about
100 were lying. When down on their
hands and knees little way Off they
closely resembled Overgrown sheep.
They took different stations and the
to wait.
It was perhaps an hour before an
alarm came. Then dog stole into the
field from the rear side and the sheep
came running toward us. Presently
there was ayelp and then all grew quiet.
Ten minutes later a second dog came
in and he was soon followed by third.
Then, as half an hour passed without an
other alarm, the three boys came over
to us, each dragging dead dog by the
tail.
"Git the spade and let's bury EN-"
said the old man. "How many does
this make this summer, RUDE ?''
''Twenty-six, reckon"
"Nicest thing in the world !" contin-
ued the father, as he rubbed his hands
together. DOG takes one of the boys
TOR an old wether, makes dash at him,
and the next thing he knows his head
is buste6. No shooting, no row 10 at
tract the neignbors, and the man who
misses his dog can have no hard feelings
Tumble 'em in, boys, and then well tap

Caracas Spanish.

A correspondent of the Chicago News
writes from Caracas detailing some of
his laughable experiences with the
Spanish language as it is there spoken.
some of the most amusing of these
curiosities of language are on the bills of
fare.
One item that appeared almost daily
was garden eggs" We studied over
this for time, and finally, out of curiosi-
ty, we ordered some. 1t turned out to
be egg plant. :.
Another puzzle was "papas en- camisas."
A "camisa" means IN ordinary speech a
night-shirt or the jacket of pajama,
and the natural inference seemed to be
that we had landed among set of can
nibals, who were serving up some body's
papa in his night-shirt.
But "papas" in Spanish means pota-
toes, and this mysterious article of food
proved to be nothing more dreadful
than steamed potatoes with the skins,
Jackets, on.
Cantaloupe is called "melone," and
the word as pronounced sounds very
much like the name of numerous and
highly respected Irish family. 1t made
us laugh to call for "1naloney." and
we thought it still more amusing when
we heard a woman's bonnet called
s'begorra"
But there are queerer things than this
in the Spanish language. The pupil CT
the eye, for example, is "the little girl
of the eye," and the noostrils mot
quite so poetical subject-are ''the
windows of the nose."
The ''dado" is the finger, and the
thumb is ''la dado pulgar." s'Pulga"
means flea,, and the thumb therefore is
the "fiea inger"-a fact which illus
trates one of the principal occupations
of the people
