To Mako n Cellar Waterproof.

on laid in cement and the exterior of the
walls covered with cement. Sanitary Plum
Der says this makes practically water

best Portland cement one part, clean sharp
sand one part. After a cellar Is built It is
not SO easy to make it waterproof. Still it
can be done. Cover the exterior of the wall
with the above cement, ditto the bottom.
and work the cement in under the bottom
OF the wall. nthese directions are followed
you will succeed, but IL cheap materials
are used and the work badly done you will

cellar floor may be efficient in carrying off

Telegraph Wires and Drought.

Professor Virgins believes that telegraph
wires cause drought. that the atmosphere
cannot absorb moisture unless it is charged
with electricity and that upon an obiate
spheroid like the earth the electricity will
inevitably collect at the equator In this
way, according to The Industrial World, he
explains the frequency of rains at the
equator. If, however" he says, "there be
elevated spots on the sphere, electricity will
collect on them. Should these spots or con-
tinents be connected by wires it might ac-
cumulate on each alternately This has hap
pened this year, and America has all of the
electric energy and Europe has lost it, SO
that our continent is flooded and Europe is
burned up with drought" His conclusion
from all this is that electric wires should
be buried.

Louisa Aicott's Start.

In Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's lecture on
Louisa Alcott 1t is mentioned that, at the
age OF 10, the family circumstances being
still very narrow, Louisa embraced an

which she had every reason to suppose
that she could have the position of a
friend and companion. The result proved

Women nre allowed far less latitude of
position than men, and now it Is said that
the simple crossing of the legs should not
be indulged In even in the privacy of our
own rooms, since it invites serious physic-
al ills. Men, when free from restraint,
seldom sit with their two feet on the floor.
They raise ono till the ankle rests lightly
across the other knee, and no harm Is
done. Women rest the entire weight OF
one leg upon the upper part of the other.
