frame is erected above the well or cistern, on
the axle of which is large wheel, which may be
varied in size to accommodate the depth of the
well. This same axle acts as a sort OF windlass
around which the rope to which the bucket Is
attached may wind as the bucket rises, there
being one rope on either side of the bucket. The
power that brings the water to the surface is a
small platform, also varying in length according
to the depth Of the well, which inclines from the
ground TO the top Of the well curb and is at
over the well. As the person walks up this
platform towards the we'll the upper end Of the

a crossbeam form the outside framework

projecting out at right angle on either side,
and which being depressed opens the gate. The

J. B. Choice of Whitesboro has q churn that
catches the eye of all the good housewives. 1t

DR.. A. Roberts is the originator OF a remedy
for relief from use of tobacco, opium and alco-
hol, and says he has been quite successful in
the cases he has had under his care. From the

Texas inventors are missing an excellent Pop 1
portunity for making their genius known and
yet have time to reap some benefits if they will
enter their articles at once. DR.. Roberts says
he will gladly receive ell that may be sent him.
The Burnet county exhibit is in the western
wing near the exit. 1t ismostly of minerals and
woods. and a comprehensive one it is. Follow
ing is taken from the Burnet Bulletin, and it
only needs to be added that the articles mem
toned have been placed in attractive
shape and viewed with interest
by all visitors to the Palace. The monu-
ments are stationed at the main entrance to the
Palace. One of the prettiest of these pillars was
destroyed by some miscreant while it was en-
route to the Palace, but nevertheless there are
still enough samples of the polished marbles to
show that that stone is found in Texas in its best
qualities.
