WAKING DOWN PILLOWS.
Easy Method of Keeping the Down
From Working Through.

Easy Method of Keeping the Down
Prom Working Through
A curious CONTINUANCE to prevent
the fluff of down pillows penetrating
the ticking comes from England. It
consists in simply waxing the inside
of the ticks before they are filled
with down.
Most OF the manufactures OF cheap
down pillows fail not only to use a
firm, good quality OF ticking, but SUBJ
stltute a muslin which is altogether
too soft and sheer for the purpose
They do this for thespecious reason
that their pillows appear much
more delicate in structure, and are
consequently more salable.
It is possible to make up eider-down
in this light muslin. as it holds to-
gether by it's nature and does not
shed off particles that float about the
air. Ii the inside of the muslin case
be thoroughly rubbed with wax it
would stifen it to some extent, but it
is said to remedy all trouble caused
by the protrusion of the feathers.
Simply turn the ticks wrongside
outward before filling them, warm a
piece of bees-wax slightly and rub it
in straight lines following each other
over the tick. When the entire sur-
faces is waxed fill it and then sew up
the tick.

Ancient British Lake Village,

Ancient British Lake Village,
An interesting discovery was recent
ly made at GLASTONBURY Somerset
shire. of the remains OF an ancient lake
village. From sixty to seventy low
mounds, rising from one to two feet
above the surrounding soil, and from
twenty to thirty feet across, were
found on the level moor which
stretches to the British Chanel. A
section of the mounds revealed NOR
ticed oak beams, resembling those OF
the well-known palisades OF the cram
nogs OF Scotland, and well-defned
strata of clay, charcoal and ashes.
The total thickness of these beds
was 3 feet 6 inches, and within them
were detected three separate hearths,
superimposed one above the other.
Bronze objects, four fblnse of the La
Tene type, and massive spiral finger
rings were discovered among the relics,
with a few objects OF iron too much
corroded to determine what they we're
intended for. Numerous objects of
bone, an abundance Of pottery much
broken, and organic remains, includ-
ing beans, wheat, rye, nutshells and r.
large number of bones, presumably Of
domestic animals, were also discover
ed. The remains have been assigned
to the "Late Celtic" period.

He Built one Of the Pyramids.

The British Museum, the great
European storehouse of things out of
the ordinary, has hundreds OF Egypt
ain.mummies of all dynasties care
fully slowed away within it's walls.
Some of these are comparatively re-
cent efforts at emb aiming and others
are dated back to the "wide revolving
shades OF centuries past" The old,
est OF the entire collection is the num-
my of Mykerinos. He was King in
Egypt in what is known to history
as the Fourth dynasty" and wore
his golden tiara and sat on the throne
OF thrones 1000 years before the wise
men followed the star of fate until it
stopped over the leWly hovel in Beth
lehem where the infant Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder of the
third pyramid at Ghizeh, where his
headless mummy was discovered in
the year 1886. The stone coffin in
which he was being transported to
England was lost at sea and lay at
the bottom of the ocean for two years
before being discovered. 1t is seldom
that mans bones are subject to
such vicissitudes, especially 5000 or
5000 years after his death.

Story of an Old Clock.

II can remember the old clock in the
steeple of the Church of St. Magnus,
in London, just as we'll as if only saw
it yesterday, although, it is thirty
years since I left London" said
Thomas F. Anderson. "There was
an interesting history attached to
that old clock. Along about the lat
ter part of the seventeeth century
Thomas Duncombe, afterward Sir
Thomas Duncombe and Lord Mayor
OF London. had to wait for his master
on the bridge, and time and time again
he was puzzled to know the time. It
was while waiting there one bitter
cold night that he made a resolution
that if he was ever able he would put
clock in that steeple, so that other
people would not have to worry as
he did. He prospered in life and kept
his word, and that old clock has been
in that steeple now for nearly $50
years, and she is keeping time yet for
the whole neisaborhood OF Bridge
Within. which by the way, is the same
ward that the present Lord Mayor,

against each other, fit the joints we'll
together, put fine earth around tile
about six inches deep, then fill the
remainder in with the pillow or shovel,
but do not allow horses or cattle to
tramp in it when fresh filled in, or
ground is wet.
On rolling land tile drains need not
be so close together, but it is necessary
to put them where the surface water
mostly stands, but do not put them
more than three feet under ground for
quick service, unless in places through
high ground, where it is unavoidable.
The size Of tile should vary with the
amount Of water and the distance of
drains apart. For fiat ground, fifty
feet apart and forty rods long, with
one inch fall to one hundred feet
length; the outlet should have three
and half or four inch tile for thirty
or thirty-five rods, and the remainder
with three or three and half inch.
In bitches OF shorter distance three
or three and half inch is large enough,
according to the water they have to
carry; for branches from ten TO TWEEN
ty rods three inch tile makes q good
ditch with the above fall.
Tile does good service where the
drains are one hundred feet apart if
put in lowest places. Drains from
sixty to eighty rods long should have
five or six inch tile for an outlet. A
six inch tile will carry all water on
Hat land from forty acres without in
jury to crops from wet weather.
The advantages OF tile draining are
many. Flowing may be done from a
week TO ten days earlier in the spring;
tlle-drained land is half MANFRED. Al
though open bitches do good service
where tile bitches can not be made,
their disadvantages are great;
with tile drains the water will
soon disappear from the surface
alter q rain, while with an open ditch
1t will stand outside of bank for sever
al days; you can farm and raise the
best crops over tile drains, while an
open ditch is waste land for weedssto
grow on; you never need to clean q
tile drain, If properly put in; you must
clean out an open ditch every two or
three years; your open bitches harbor
vermin, such as muskr rats and the
mink, who dig holes along the bank
for horses and cattle to step in and
break their legs; your tile ditch will
not harbor anything and gives you no
trouble IT you have a screen over the
outlet.-C. l.. Meinzer, in Farm, Field
