HOUSE WATER SUPPLY.
Che Farm Home That Is Without IL
IL Ov ned by Man Who Doesn't
Care for His Wife.

In planning to put water tank in
your kitchen have you considered that
during the summer when the stock are
in the fields drinking from springs the
tank will have less water flowing into
it from the windmill or the hydraulic
ram, and that, in consequence, if it is
not empty it will contain warm water?
And have you considered that when you
want cold water under these circum-
stances you must turn on the windmill,
start the ram, or pump the water your
self? If you don't your wife will! If
you haven't thought of this, then profit
by my experience. Experience is the
name man gives to his mistakes"

its usefulness, was worn out, and a new

FOOD IN FICTION.

In Scott's stories there is a hint OF
picturesque splendor about the dinners
he describes. There are noble" meals
and much geniality and good fellow
ship.
Woman novelists, particularly Ouida,
rarely allow their heroes and heroines
to partake of n substantial meal, while
In the pages of the men writer's feasts
abound.
Disraeli does not descend to specify
meals, but has a way of introducing
gorgeous banquets of unlimited
courses. Everything in ''Lothair" hap
pens at dinner parties, and 'fat little
birds in aspic jelly" and ortolans usual
ly form part of the menu.
Compare Dickens and Thackeray.
Each is fond of feeding his characters,
but Thackeray tells of the feasts with
an epicurean touch, an appreciation Of
the delicacies of the table, while Dick
ems written meals are always hearty,
plain, boiled beef and greens and meat

| one had been decided upon. The mis-
take was made when the old one was
put in; it should never have been put
| in the kitchen.
1 bought large galvanized steel tank
with a capacity of about $50 gallons, and
set it up outside the kichen in the wood
shed, the bottom being Is inches above
the faucet at the sink. A box was built
around it large enough to allow a pack
ing of six inches of sawdust above, be-
low and al the sides. This material was
applied after the pipe connections had
all been well tested to see that they did
not leak. 1t was put around the tank
to keep the water cool during the sum-
mer by preventing access of the warm
air to the sides, and to prevent freezing
in the winer.
The tank is one of the kind used for
heating water in connection with Il
range, and as it stood when purchased
it it had four openings-two al the top,
one at the side and one at the bottom.
One of the holes at the top opens into
the tank direct, and was to be used for
the outflow of warm water. The other
is attached toa pipe on the inside of the
tank which was to carry the cold water
nearly to the bottom. The hole in the
side was for the inflow of water as it
came heated from the fire. At the bot
tom was to be attached the pipe that
led to the fireboX where the water was
to be heated.
But | didn't want the water hot, and
therefore had no need of this arrange
ment of the pipes. My ends, thought,
would be best gained by turning the
tank upside down and plugging the side
opening. This 1 did. The pipe that
comes from the hydraulic ram 1 then
attached to the supply pipe (A), so that
the fresh water enters the opening that
was originally at the bottom, but is
now at the top of the tank. The out
flow pipe (B) was then screwed tc the
cold water pipe which runs inside the
tank. and the pipe co which runs to
the sink was fastened to the original
hot water pipe.

the tank and force the water to the
large cistcrn in the garret when the
supply in it from the roof becomes ex.
hausted.
The outflow pipe empties into the
sewer, and, like the tank and the other
pipes, is well inclosed in sawdust.-M.
