How to Keep the Water from Getting

How to Keep the Water from Getting
Foul or Ill-Sneliing.
Soft water for washing purposes is a
necessity. To meet this necessity els
terms of various kinds are built, but
the dust lodging on the roof. together
with dead leaves, and various sub
stances whirled about by the wind,
will be carried by the water into the
cistern. Unless it is frequently
cleaned. this fouls the water and
gives it a bad odor. The illustration
presented above shows a plans for a
cistern SO arranged as to avoid this
difficulty. The overflow pipe, a, in
stead Of simply entering the cistern at
the surface of the water in the usual
way, continues down the inner surface
and opens near the bottom. Then,
whenever the cistern fills with water
and overfiows, the surplus enters the
discharge pipe at the bottom, thus
carrying off whatever sediment may
have been deposited. As the sub
stances that are washed from the roof
into the cistern always settle grad
ually to the bottom, each hard rain
that fills it to overlooking forces them
into the discharge pipe and carries
them off to the drain. Such foul sedi-
ment forms a good nest for disease
germs. Where the ground is of firm
texture it is not necessary to brick up
the sides, but the cement may be laid
directly on the earth. Begin by lay
ing out Il circle about a foot larger
across than the intended size of the
cistern. Dig this size down three
feet. then dig the ~cistern six inches
smaller on all sides. thus leaving a
shelf on which to place the covering
stones three feet below the sur
face, to be out OF the way of the
frost. Cover it by laying on opposite
sides of this shelf two long Hat stones,

THE FIRST DRUMMER.
English Quakers Seem to Have Been the
 Progenitors of the Race.


 Progenitors of the Race.
 The rapid development of the com mercial traveller system specifically be- longs to our own days, but as to the origin there is some difference of opin- ion. One authority lays it down that the bagman of to-day-the drummer" in American phraseology the i'm mediate descendant of the old chap man, or peddler, or hawker. As these personages were known even in the time of Chaucer in this case the mod ern commercial can boast very re- spectable ancestry.
 Another antiquarian, however, in the Bookseller has another theory to pro- pose. For this he brings the poet Southey as witness It is that the commercial travellers of to-day really date back to the Quakers of one hun dred or one hundred and fifty years since. These persons, it is well known, were forced to wander throughout the country by persecution and i'll treat nent They were then, as they are to- day, mostly good, honest men of busi- ness, and with the true commercial in- stinct they seem to have made virtue of necessity, and during their wander ings to have made acquaintances as far as possible with the country trades men, to whom they often sold goods, watches, ''camblets," and other ar ticles. They seemed to have pushed their trade so vigorously that they ob tained heavy orders, so much so that ''the tradesmen in London stood idle," as one of the Quakers said, while we filled our coffers'

BANK OF ENGLAND FORGERIES.
They Are Almost Unknown Now, But
 Were Formerly Frequent.

Were Formerly Frequent.
 There are very few forgeries now, but one hundred years ago they were rife. The first recorded instance of the forgery of Bank of England note has singular touch of romance about it, says the Strand Magazine. The forger was linen draper at Stafford. named Vaughan, who, in the year 175S, employed several workmen to engrave different parts of twenty pound ster- ling note, and when dozen had been printed off he deposited them with a young lady to whom he was engaged to be married as proof of his wealth; but the imposition was discovered. and Vaughan was hanged.
 One of the cleverest limitations of a bank note was the work of a poor schoolmaster, who forged aH entire note with pen and ink, and, sad to say. was hanged. John Mathieson, who was convicted for forging the water mark, offered to show the directors how it was done if he were pardoned but they would not withdraw the pros ecution. Singularly enough, forgeries first began to be frequent soon after the introduction of the one pound sterling note, and in April, 1902, Mr. Addington told the house of commons that the forgeries had increased so alarmingly that seventy extra clerks were required at the bank merely to
