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 off
very offensive gases which are alb
sorbed by the water. A cistern there
fore needs thorough cleaning every
spring, and should be provided with a
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 dry time when this collects
aoundantly in the cutters. the use on
filter is very desirable. A filter NAV
be made OF barrel prepared as fol-
lows: Bore in the bottom a large num-
Der OF holes and lay screen of fine wire
gauze over these; on the screen place
Two or three inches Of fine washed
gravel; on this -four 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
ana covering OF small stones to re-
celve the water, which is hest rim
through rose strainer to spread tho
iorce OF the water and avoid disturbing
the hitering layers. The barrel sbou,d
be placed over the cover of the cistern
Every spring this filter should he t.l,an
apart and washed and put topetber
again Every care should be exercised

etc. all of which are frequent sources
OF pollution of cistepns. It is recor,

a temporary device; it only mitic.,as

The modern magazine may be
taken as embodying the best liter
allure of the world, as the maya
zine editor pays the highest prices
to novelists, scientists, statesmen,
soldiers, and even kings and
princes, for the best they can fur
nish in the literary line. The
well-edited magazine becomes an
educating influence in the family
circle, whose Importance cannot
be over-estimated. The children,
as they grow up, are attracted by
its Illustrations, and so come in
time to have a taste for reading.
There is always something that is
new, something that is strange,
something that is interesting; and
we consider that we are doing
our readers a positive benefit if
we are instrumental in placing
such publication within their
reach. The special arrangement
which we have made with the
Cosmopolitan presents very un-
usual inducements. That maya
zine, although only in the tenth
month under its new management,
is already recognized as one OF
the most interesting publication
of the day. 1t is seeking sub
scribers every where and obtain
ing them. The proprietors be-
lieve that the Cosmopolitan has
only to be examined to secure a
permanent subscriber. That is
why we are enabled to make, if
the offer is accepted before JAN
uary next, such a very low rate,
by which our readers can obtain
the Cosmopolitan for little more
than the cost of this journal alone.
Just think of what the combina-
ton means! You obtain your own
home journal at about the regular
price, and have thrown i'll a maya
zine which gives you, in a year,
nearly fourteen hundred pages OF
reading matter by the ablest writ
ers of the world, including SIX
hundred pages of illustrations
that are unsurpassed in point OF
interest and execution. VIII 1t

ton to this Office for the Courier
