ABOUT TILE-DRAININ0.
One Way of Avoiding Lawsuits and Hard
Feeling Among NeighbOrs.

Suppose A and B own .djoining
farms. AS land being higher than BIS,
the surplus water of AS land will run
onto BIS land. What cffe ct will it have
on BIS land if A underdrains his?
All the water that falls on AS land in
o year is needed on the farm, if it could
be properly utilized; but at times there
is more water than can soak into the
ground, and the surplus must run off
onto other land. 1t is estimated that
one foot of underdrained land will hold
one inch of water; so, if land is under
drained two feet deep, it will hold two
inches of rain, and we very seldom get
more than that in twenty -four hours.
Now, if A drains his land it will become
porous, and will hold about all the
water that falls upon his land during
the summer season, and will be taken
up by the growing crop. The only
time B gets rs much water as he did
before is when the ground is frozen, or
in the winter, when all vegetation is
dormant and the water not needed.
Then the water seeks the tile and will
run off. After the land is properly
drained the ground will not freeze as
deep as it did before, from the fact that
the air enters at the outlet and will
pass to the upper end Of the drain
and become of the same temper
AZURE as the surrounding earth,
which is above freezing, and con-
sequently will rise and warm the
ground to the top. For this reason, the
tile at the lower end of the drain should
be hard enough to withstand the frost,
as the cold air that enters will freeze
every thing solid for good ways, no
matter how deep under ground. Ihave
noticed that fact in coal banks that are
entered by a drift or entry" the
entry will be frozen solid considera-
bic distance, even if fifty feet under the
surfa'c. The air as it passes in will
get warmer and finally pass out through
the ajc shaft that all banks must be
supplied with, and the colder the
weather the stronger the current.
Ihave frequently seen where b sued
A for damages for flooding him by under
draining, but as yet not seen that
he got any damages. think he would
stand better chance by trying to get
damages for drying him up. In my i'm
mediate neighborhood are two adjoin-
ing farms. The upper farm has swamp
ON it, the water of which flows over the
lower farm. Some thirty five years ago
the owners got into law about it. The
result was that they had to sell the
farms to paw the costs and the swamp
was not drained. 1t has been partially
drained since, but not to do any good.
Now the present owners instead of 60
ing to law and following in ''the foot
steps of their illustrious predecessors, -
did as men ought 70 do; they agreed
among themselves that each should do
certain part of the work, and put in a
twelve-inch sewer pipe, which will
drain the swamp and not injure the
lower land Less than one hundred
dollars will be required to do the work.

Deafness Can't BE Cured

by ocal applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
couslining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
whichis nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Imitation InIaid Work.

One Of the prettiest and easiest ways
of decorating work-boXes, panels or any
woodwork where inlaid work would be
suitable, is by initiating as clio ely as
possible japanese inlaid work. Have the
article to be decorated perfectly smooth
and paint it jet black. If not good black
the work is spoiled in the beginning.
When the paint is thoroughly dry, see
that there are no rough or uneven
places; if there are, they must be very
carefully smoothed away. Give the part
to be decorated light coating of thin
glue, just enough to hold the leaves in
place. Into this glue press dried ferns
and other leaves of similar texture in
any pretty forms which fancy may sug-
gest. Give the whole surface a number
of coats of white varnish, until no I'M
evenness remains. If nicely done, this
work is handsome and lasting, and well
adapted represents The lIousekeeper.

The Rocku Mountain NeCs says !:
The latest news in the mining world
is the alledged discovery of vast
bodies of tin ore in Utah by Denver
parties. Some time ago company
was incorporated at Denver under the
title of The Colorado d Utah Mining
& Investment company. 1t was cap
italized at $2,000,000, with A. j..
Wilson az the president and f. A.
Willoughby secretary, They claim
they have upon their property in
Utah hundreds of thousands of tons
of ore in sight that runs from 10 to
.35 per cent in tin, with natural facili-
ties for working the same economi-
cally. The scarcity of tin mines is
such that discovery of this kind, il
genuine, means millions of dollars in
the pockets of the company. The
only question that has not yet been
altogether satisfactory settled is
whether or not the ore really contains
tin. One of the best assayers in the
State was requested to make an assay
of sample of the ore, and he failed
to find the slightest trace of tin.
Moreover, he offered substantial
amount to anyone who could find
it in piece OF ore in which he could
find none. On the other hand George
Archibald, the company's chemist,
signed by B. f. Randall and c. j.
Hinton, was shown a NeWs reporter
stating they witnessed on the previ-
Gus day mineral tests of the ore by
Mr.. Archibald, who was formerly
chemist to the Government at
Washington, and they are pre-
pared to take oath, if necessary, that
they know the nature of the material
used for fluxes and that nothing con-
tanning tin in any form was used to
produce the results they witnessed
except the tin ore and there was no
possible chance for fraud or deception.
According to their statement, at
the request OF Mr.. Archibald they
selected an average piece OF ore from
fifty pounds which Mr.. Archibald said
was recently taken by himself from
the property owned by the company.
This ore was pulverized, prepared for
the crucible and smelted in their
presence, and button of tin, weigh
ing at least one-half an ounce was the
result from two oun es of the crushed
m.terial from brown ore. Another
test was also made of gray ore selected
as an average sample, which gave a
button of at least half an ounce as
the result of four ounces of the crushed
material.
