About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tions of the bowels every twelve hours
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief il would not live.
Chamherlain's Collie, Cholera, and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommend
ed, and l decided to try it. | soon
noticed a change for the better; by
it's continued use complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly

A Irishman undertook to dig we'll.
When he came out one morning he
found it had fallen in and was filed
in nearly to the top. Pat looked eau
tiously around and saw no person was
near, then took of his hat and coat
and hung them on a windlass and
crawling into some bushes to await
results. In short time the neigh
bors discovered that the we'll had
fallen in, and seeing Pats hat coat
hanging on the windlass they
thought that he was at the bottom of
the excavation. Only a few hours
brisk digging cleared away the loose
earth from the well. Just as the
excavators reached the bottom and
were wondering what bad become of
the body, Pat came out of the bushes
and good naturally thanked the dig
gers for relieving him of q sorry job.

MAKE. YOUR OWN FIATER.
By the AidsOf These Directions You
Can Do Very WE'LL

Everybody knows, or had ought to
know, that at this time of the year it
is the height of folly to drink water
that has not been previously purified
in some way, either by boiling or by
filtration, says the New York Herald
Boiling is an effective way of free
ing the water from. impurities, and
should certainly be done where no
better method exists, but @ use
full filter can be made so easily at
an almost nom. nal cost, that there is
scarcely any excuse for household
net possessing one.
The home made filter consists
simply of an ordinary deeanter, a
lamp glass, such as can be purchased
anywhere for few cents, by way of
funnel, and a piece If sponge or
cot on wool. Some people prefer
cotton wool because it can be thrown
away after a time and renewed at a
nominal cost. If a sponge is chosen
it ought to be taken out often, clean
ed in hot salt water and after rinsed
in cold.
The sponge or cotton wool is placed
for the distace of an inch in the lamp
8 ade. This is then covered by a
layer of fine white sand, which has
been washed very clean, and placed
in fine lawn bag. This must be
packed through the top of the glass,
and spread out to- fit across by the
aid of long pencil or skewer.
On top of the sand must be pla2ed
a layer Of animal charcoal which has
been previously thoroughly washed
by putting it in an earthen vessel and
pouring boiling water upon it. This
layer should be at least an inch deep
and should pc pressed down upon
the layer of sand. The filter ia now
ready for use.
Water is poured into the lamp
shade and allowed to percolate
through to the decanter beneath.
After q time the charcoal will get
clogged and little must be taken
from the top and boiled for o few
minutes and, then spread out before
the fire. 1t will then be as good as
ever and can be thus cleansed indef-
nitely. From time to time, also, the
whole apparatus viii want cleansing,
and the whole of the charcoal, as well
as the bag of sand and the Gotten
wool, or sponge, will have to be taken
out and thoroughly boile !, or. better
still, replaced with new material.
Provided fhe filter be thus kept
thoroughly cleaned it will yield as
good results as any of the patent FL
tiers on the market costirg many
times the value Of this simple eppar-
ratus.

The Weather.

Many people who spend mu b OF
their time in the open air, learn tc
watch the changing shapes and col
ors of the clouds, the looks of the
sun, and the direction of the wind
and to Judge of coming weather with
great accuracy by the general appear
ance of things.
A few signs of coming weather are
the followingt /. When the upper
clouds go one way and the lower
clouds, or the lower wind, another, a
change of wind is indicated. 2. Elk
ceptional clearness of the sky and
twiDkling of the stars, denote great
humidity in the upper air, with rain
to follow. 8. A light scud moving
rapidly under hazy clouds means
wind and rain. 4. If the cumulue
clouds are sharp in outline, fair
weather is indicated. s. Halos
around the sun or moon betoken rain
or snow, 6. A red sunset promises
fair weather next day; a bright yellow
sunset, wind; a red sunrise, bad
weather. 7. Fog is not ordinarily
followed by rain; on the contrary, a
foggy morning is generally followed
by pleasant day. s. A cyclone is
indicated, first, by rise in the baro-
meter, aud by cirrus clouds, which
show the outer edge OF the storm,
moving from southeast to northwest,
or from cast to west; the barometer
begins to fall and drops to below
twenty nine inches; the storm is then
at hand; the clouds are thickeniug;
the wind changes and blows from the
north or west; a heavy bank OF clouds
follow. which show the center of the
storm.
There are many other signs familiar
to the eye Of the farmer, hunter, So l.
or or fisherman. Any good observer
can soon tell the weather for nearly
day ahead. The Signal Service, hay
ing kilograms from every part OF the
country, can predict with certainty
about day ahead. and sometimes
for two or even three days ahead

sources? They are the material with
which the historian works, from
which he constructs his history, and
may be classified as:
HISTORICAL REMAINS.
Remains of men.
Languages
Social conditions: Manners, Gus
toms, festivals, forms of worship, in
stitutiOns, laws and constitutions.
Products of human skill: Utensils,
arms, buildings and coins.
Records: Courts, assemblies,
speeches, newspapers, letters. tax
rolls, etc.
Monuments and inscriptions.
TRADITIONS.
Pictorial: Statuery and pictures.
Oral: Stories, anecdotes and songs.
Written: Annals, chroni es and
biographies.
These sources, the remains of the
event itself, are to the historian what
the plant is to the botanist. The diff
ference between the sources and mar
rative texts must be carefully distin-
guished by the student from the be-
ginning. viz: Grote's History of
Greece is not a source, but the result
Of Grote's study of the sources and
his attempt to reconstruct the past
from them. The value of this work
is determined by comparing it with
the sources.
Where shall we find the sources?
Largely in photographers devoted to
particular peoples. In some of the
older bibliographies no distinction is
made between sources and modern
writer's. But in the latest works the
two classes are kept separate. Take
a volume of Gibson or Macaulay and
at the bottom of each page will be
found list of the sources they used.
From these foot notes we can obtain
a complete list of the sources from
which they were constructed. Now,
il We have our sources gathered, the
next step is to criticize them one by
one. Submit them to the following
questions to determine their value:
''Who was the writer?
When did he live?
Where did he live?
Was he an eye and ear witness?
Was he able to tell the truth?
Was he willing to tell the truth?
When did he make the record?"
This work of criticism ended, the
work of construction begins. The
facts must be established and CLASH
fled. Interpretation and combination
follow. Then we must consider the
Psychical. physical and social como
ton of the subject under study. Now
yoa are ready to give your own YER
dict ON the event-in other words, to
write history. Geography and psy-
chology and sociology became to the
students of history auxiliary sciences.
Last of all, studying an historical
subject in its broadest and deepest
lieaning the student rises into the
realm OF the philosophy of history.
You can read history, but don't imag-
inc you are studying it unless you are
dealing directly with the sources and
from them forming your own judg-
ment.
There seems prevailing opinion
that the source books or leaflets can
not be used without q library. This
is not correct. DIR. Flin1. head ~

IA address by Mrs. A. c. Ricketts,
Of Lincoln delivered to the woman OF
the Denver Biennial:
II hardly seems necessary at first
thought to insist upon the import
ance of the study of history to an
audience of club women. But when
the majority of club women were in
school. history was so indifferently
taught IL taught ut all, that it was
not . medium of the highest culture.
Twenty-Five years ego the merrst out
line in history was all that was
taught or necessary to an academic
degree in our best Institutions 1t
was only between 1870 and less that
courses of history study were estab-
Hshed at Harvard. Yale, Columbia,
Cornell and ut the state universities
Of Wisconsin. Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania. Even then the subject was not
considered Of sufficient importance to
require the attention of = special pro-
fessor. The lectures were usually
given by the professors Of some other
department. The university of Penn
sylvanis led OF and elected the histO-
rian. John Bach NcNasters, professor
of history. Other institutions soon
followed this example, and I am hap
py to say that there has been a great
change in recent years Instead of
the classics claiming . monopoly Of all
sknowledge and all mental discipline
they have been relegated to their
proper place in the college curricu-
I'm. r
History "a taught when 1 was in
srAool was = memorizing of Ander-
son's genersl history. A mere com
pend Of events and dates, which we
completed in one term. No Discussion
anong the students; no explanations
fru0 the instructor; simply stand up
ana FePsat what you had memDrised.
I haye great sympathy with the hey
No was being examined in history
IN thcse days. He bad no hesitancy
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1898-07-23

in putting down dates. He had been
drilled on those; he could put down
the exact date of the execution
of Mary Queen of SCOTS, tell to a day
when Nero committed suicide, and
without the shadow of a doubt he
could put the date 1920 opposite the
question. 'When was the pope's Bull
issued against the Thesis of Luther?'
Then his mind wandering on, he won
dered il Luther really did participate
in a bull fight and il the bull was
killed. Then he remembered the b0ol
said the people burned something
Why, yes, to be sure, they must have
had a barbecue after Luther killed
the bull. How stupid of him not t.
have thought of that before. Then hi
remembered the book said Luther
was banished, and he thought the
bull must have been a very fine ont
to have made the Pope SO angry al
Luther that he was banished; but per
haps Luther did not care SO very much
for his own country any way, for h
had been ordered to diet of worms
Can you wonder that the method o.
teaching history which developed
such a vague idea of such an impor
tant event was calculated to destroy
all interest in the study and leave
the impression that history only deal
with names, dates and facts intended
to torture the child with a poor mem
DRY, or worse still, the child who had
a mind instead of memory.
Is ii any wonder that the club wo
men Of today, who were the childrer
of that day, say: '''Oh, don't let nj
take history next year, am not in
terested in history" just few
weeks ago 1 heard an enthusiast,
club woman say when history wa.
mentioned as a study for next year:
"Don't let us go back to that dry
humdFum study of school Gays; moth
ing hut wars and rumors of wars, lists
of names and tables of dates"
In that remark lies very largely thu
secret of the avoidance of the study
of history by club women. But Ia
dies. there is better way to study
history, way that awakens interest
method which places intellectual
strength above the mere acquisition
of facts. And as it is one of the mis-
sions of women's clubs to supply the
omissions of schools of twenty-five
years ago. they ought to take uT
these new methods and through them
show that the proper study of history
perhaps. morS than any other study
tends to the development Of mind; %
induce calm and consecutive judg
ment, unselfishness, charity, sympa,
thy. and a whole list of other things
that 90 to help make up . cultured life
All social, political and economical
problems are being studied today
from the historical standpoint. Every
investigator of these subjects is equal

he must use the material the historian
has gathered rs the basis of his work,
