Cisterns.

After summer drought all water
tanks and cisterns should be examined,
and if need be repaired; but in every
instance well and carefully cleansed be-
fore being allowed to fill up again with
water Mischief is done and disease in
duced and propagated by the use of bad
water, because the sediment, if not
washed out, becomes mingled with every
fresh influx of water. A very general
and most virulent and fatal epidemic of
diphtherla and severe attacks of typhoid
fever have been known to be produced
by the neglect of this essential duty.
The necessity for frequent cleansing of
cisterns cannot be too strongly insisted

His Hair Like a Circassian Girrs.


Charles r. Cummins, of Montague,
Lewis county, is a freak, in that he has
head of hair like that Of the Circassian
girl of side show fame, and is going to
join circus. Mr.. Cummins is a son of
Foss Cummins, and was born on Oct
10, 1852. He has always resided in Lewis
county and is a farmer by occupation.
His hair, unlike that of his four brothers.
has always been very heavy and curly,
and for this reason has been kept closely
cut. Six months ago lady friend per-
suaded him to let his hair grow to suit
able length, in order that she might be
provided with frizzes that would not
have to undergo the curling iron process
occasionally, Inside OF three months the
hair had grown about three inches and
was. hard to manage, but the growth was
allowed to continue, and now the hair
will average seven inches in length. II
Is. in all respects, as before stated, SINH
lar to that of the Circassian girl, and
Mr.. Cummins being unable to find hat
large enough, is compelled to 90 bare
headed. The hair is as fine as silk, dark
brown in color and inclined to curl

PARocHIAL SCHOOL.


OF the Building.
Workmen are now putting the roof on
the Catholic parochial school on Srring
street, between Fifth and Sixth. The
building is now SO far advanced that its
general appearance and arrangement can
readily be seen. It is seventy-five feet
deep and ffty-four feet wide, and has
wings extending some feet beyond the
main building on each side. The struc-
ture has been most substantially put up,
with heavy walls and Orders, and thick
party walls running through In several
places.
The basement contains the rooms for the
furnaces and large recreation rooms,
which can be used by the pupils when the
weather is unpleasant outside. In a sepa-
rate building in the rear communicating
with the basement. are the water closets,
fitted with the latest and most improved
sanitary appliances.
The main front entrance is in the middle
of the Spring street side The doors open
into q hall, from which stairs lead to the
floor above. A hail runs through to the
center of the building, in which is rotun-
da. From this there is access 10 the four
classrooms, occupying the four corners of
the first floor. Each room is airy and
well lighted, and is provided with large
cloakroom. When the structure is COM
pleted these classrooms and halls will be
fitted with gas burners and electric lights.
Ventilating shafts run from the classrooms,
and they are to be heated by hot water
pipes. Each room will furnish sccommo-
dations for between forty and fifty pupils.
The pupils entrance to the rotunda Is
through doors opening from the wings to
the street.
The second floor is devoted to large hall
which can seat 400 people. In the rear is
to be q stage, with dressing rooms at
tached. This hall can be used for school
and church gatherings.
The structure. when finished, will cost
about $4,000. and will be in every way q
credit to the city. The mason work was
done by Boyle & Baumgartner. Gibler is
the carpenter.
Father +. x. Prefontaine. who has labored
indefatigably. in the work OF this school, is
now trying 10 buy the lots back of it, on
the corner of Sixth and Seneca streets, for
the erection of the Catholic church and the
priests house. The church. rectory, school
and hospital would then be very close to-
gether.

TWO INDIAN HEADsroNKs.


Roughly Carved and Painted Images
Found by Railroad Graders.
A decided curiosity was found recently
by . party Of graders on the Seattle q
Montana railroad right-0f-way, 1T poict
about three miles north Of Ballard. Among
the thick brush 100 feet from the shore of
the Sound and half exposed, were two
carved wooden images, which appear to be
the headstones of Indian graves. A Posi-
IETELLIG ENCER reporter was yesterday
shown photograph of the images taken
by Mr.. Wilsey, . draughtsman in the city
engineers Office. and obtained q verbal
description of them from A. G. Scurfield,
the engineer in charge of that section of
the road.
The images are busts, roughly carved in
fir wood, and do not appear to be over i've
or Ska years old, though they have prob
ably Been covered with some material
which preserves them and are therefore
likely to be older One Of them, which is
the better niece of work. is about four and
one-half feet high and the other about
three feet high. In the rear they have the
appearance of the keel OF q boat, fiat on
top, though in front the held rises to q
point. They measure about eighteen
inches across the chest and at the base are
rounded of to about the thickness of a
mans arm. They are charred at the lower
end as ii with fire. Both are covered with
some kind of yarnish. Is ii to prevent them
from rotting.
The larger image has eyes made of pieces
of white pottery about the size of dollar.
A patch of white paint is on the outer
corner of each eye and white stripe runs
down the nose. A hole is cut for the
mouth and white stripes mark the lips.
The left arm hangs down at the side and
the right is stretched across the chest, both
fists being cIinched and each having six
fingers. The whole figure is striped with
red paint.
The smaller figure has not had so much
labor used on it and appears to represent q
pappoose bound up in rags, as the Indians
usually carry their children. and its arms
ara hidden by the bandages. Holes have
been gouged out for the eyes and the face
is streaked with red paint.
Both images have been set up in the
ground in . clearing near the railroad
grade and are attracting much attention.
