A Cheap cistern.

A Pennsylvania farmer tells The Ma
tional Stockman how he built cheap
cistern. He struck circle seven feet in
diameter and dug down three feet, then
another circle one foot less in diameter
and dug three feet farther and broke
down the sides to slope; then with a
five foot circle he went another three
feet and cut away again, making the els
tern in the form of a jug. The sides and
bottom were plastered with cement di-
rectly upon the clay, and the top was
arched over with brick packed up with
sand and cement, and tile was put in
to serve as an overflow pipe about is
inches from the top. As the average
diameter would be a little more than six
feet, it would require nearly seven bar
rels of water for each foot in depth be-
low the overflow pipe, over SO barrels
when the water was II feet deep.
His figures for the cost were: Two
days labor, 50; one-half day of mason,
81; 2 barrels Of cement, SO. so; 400 brick,
$2.40; total, $3.50. 1t has been in use 10
years and is as good as ever excepting
near the top, where he allowed it to
freeze. and the cement c1scked and pull
ed off, which could have been prevented
by covering with straw or other ma
terial.

Women Patent Lawyers.

Although there are few patent lawyers
among women, they have done good
work.
One, New York woman, worked up
quite a good practice. At any rate, il
reached sufficient proportions so that
when two years ago she decided to retire
to become a Grace church deaconess she
was able to dispose of her clients to one
of the biggest and most renowned firms
in America.
Mrs. Charles T. Brown is Chicago
woman whose husband is frequent in
ventor, and he assigns all his patents to
her at once, and she conducts in her own
name all dealings with the patent Office.
Mrs. Haseltine of Washington for a
long time transacted the Washington
end of a large patent business conducted
by her brothers in st. Louis.
The patent examiners give all these
women credit for thorough comprehen.
sion of the patent business Washing

DON'T live a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it and going straight through ii
from the beginning to end. Work, play,
study, whatever it is, take hold at once
and finish it up squarely, then to the
next thing without letting any moments
drop between. 1t is wonderful to see
how many hours these prompt people
contrive to make of a day. It is as il
they picked up the moments that the
dawdlers lost. And if ever you find
yourself where you have SO many things
pressing upon you that you hardly know
how to begin let me tell you a secret:
Take hold of the very first one that
comes to hand, and you will find the rest
all fall in file, and follow after like a
company of well drilled soldiers, and
though work may be hard to meet when
it charges in a squad it is easily van.

have often seen the anecdote of the man
who was asked how he had accomplished

Things That Are Told.

It is said that thousands of Moham-
edans are to immigrate from India to the
United States. They are negotiating for
large tracts of land in Georgia and Flor
ida, and will form colonies in several
southern states.
Professor A. J. Cook of the Michigan
Agricultural college says: To shade the
beehive nothing is SO good as shade
board made considerably wider than the
hive and nailed to two cleats inches
wide. Thus when resting ON the hive
this shadeboard will be 8 inches above
the top of the hive.
A correspondent of The American Gull
tivator says that the secret Of successful
barley harvesting is to begin early, while
the grain is comparatively green.
DR.. Jabez Fisher now advises only half
an ounce of sulphate of copper to 100
gallons for spraying on potato plants
and grapes, and one-quarter ounce for
fruit trees in general.

According to Temple Bar he is easily
satisfied, indolent, self indulgent, weak
and does not care to rise in the world.
So long as he can exist and allow his
wife and children to exist, and so long as
ne can obtain for cash or credit vodka
enough to keep him going, he is content.
He has no idea of any higher civilization
or of any sort of home comfort. For the
rest he loves his "little father" the
czar; fears God in a superstitious sort OF
way, and the Lieshui wood spirits) and
other supernatural objects of his nation

The Recent Gale Famed Mount Washing
ton at the Rate Of $50 Miles IN Hour.

The Recent Gale Famed 2IorDt washing
ton at the Rate of 15o Miles IN Hour.
Describing the recent gale on Mount
Washington, tho summit was enveloped
in clouds, and those who came mp by
train We're not only glad to reach the
hotel, but to escape from the fury Of the
winds which swept over the railroad
track near the Lizzie Bourne monument.
The car was almost lifted from the track
by the wind, but there was no serious
difficulty in the way of making the as
cent.
After the arrival Of the train Conduct
or Horne concluded that it was not safe
to attempt to make the usual downward
trip at 2 o'clock, and the passengers and
the trainmen remained at the summit.
All the afternoon the wind continued to
increase, and for a greater part of the
time it must have exceeded a velocity OF
100 miles an hour, while the rain came
down IN torrents.
What occurred early on Thursday was
only prelude to what followed. To-
ward night the storm began to slacken
its great force, and in the early evening
it shifted into the northwest. 1t, how
ever, seemed to have new hold, and
from 10 o'clock in the evening it grad
ually increased until it became little
short of hurricane soon after midnight
At 2:30 Friday morning it reached its
height, and from that time till long after
daylight it kept up pretty steady We
locity. just how high it went is not
known, but judging from other severe
gales, when the wind was known to have
reached velocity of 135 miles an hour,
this must have gone up to the velocity Of
150 miles.
Every building on the summit felt the
severity of the gale, and the top of
chimney of the Summit House was
blown over, doing, however, little dam
age, but for the short time making con
siderable noise, as the loosened bricks
went sliding down the roof to the rocks
in the rear of the hotel. OF course some
of the inmates of the hotel felt that they
had been treated to something unusual.
The hotel is securely bolted, and even
velocity of 1856 miles in winter month
several years ago made no impression
upon it.Among the Clouds.
