NOTES OF REFORM.

In Connecticut liquors and groceries
cannot now legally be sold on the same
premises.
1t is asserted that the wine cellars
of Francs contain champagne enough
to supply the world S demand for three
years--nearly 150,O00,0OO bottles.
In Norfolk, Va, woman found at q
public bar is liable TO arrest. And now
if the sauce that is good for the goose
could be applied to the gander.-
Youths Companion.
A novel scheme has been adopted by
the Sharon (Pa.) liquor dealers. Each
week they secure from the local magis-
trates a list of persons arrested for
drunkenness, and then refuse such ones
drinks at the bar.
Miss Hattie Bumgarten, of New Mil
ford Conn. has a novel plan for re-
forming saloons. The scheme is to
have the best citizens frequent the sa-
looms, not to drink, but to form social
surrounding of high order.
A successful system of prohibition
prevails IN the FIJI islands. The rum
manufactured at the sugar factories
has to be sent elsewhere, as anyone
giving Intoxicating liquor to native
is fined $50, and imprisoned for three
months. This penalty is doubled for
each repeated otfense.
H. Thoms has detected in tobacco
smoke poisonous, oily substance
which produces violent headache, trem-
bling, giddiness, etc. By treatment
with two per cent. potash solution a
phenol-like body may be separated
which has an odor resembling creosote.
To the presence of this oil, the observed
toxic effects of tobacco may be attrib-
uted, since it is known that those are
not altogether dependent upon the
proportion of nicotine in the tobacco.

s1PHoN1NG WATER FROM A WELL.

sIPHONING WATER FROM A WELL.
waste cock must be used No faucet
is then needed on the end of the dis
charge pipe. The water is turned on
and shut eff by means of rod extend
ing from the cock underground to a
convenient height above ground. The
waste is a one-fourth-inch hole, which
is opened by the act of shutting off the
water. 1t allows all the water in the
upright pipe to drain off, and is per-
feet safeguard against freezing. The
upright discharge pipe is bent at the
top to run the water into bucket or
trough.
For a plant of this kind it is not
necessary or indeed desirable to wall
up the well to the surface of the
ground. Dig the usual size. say six
feet in diameter, and when a good flow
of water is reached, build the wall only
six or eight feet high, then lay heavy
OAK timbers across, the ends resting
on the top of the wall. Cut a hole in
this cover large enough to admit the
strainer; over the hole set a joint of
siX-inch drain pipe and fill up the well,
adding joints of pipe as the filling pro-
ceeds. a storage tank free from any
possible contamination is then OBJ
tanned. If rock is struck, blast out
reservoir, and lay the timbers across
on top of the rock and fill up as before
without any wall.
The cost will depend largely on the
distance the water must be piped. Last
October the writer put down well IS
feet, six feet of this through rock, dug
$50 feet of ditch, three feet deep, laid
one-inch galvanized pipe in it, and had
the job completed at a cost of $54. This
included everything, the work being
all hired. On many farms the cost of
the pipe need be the only cash outlay.

THE AMERICAN WEASEL.
Little Creature Lives the Rats
Have to Die.

Not everybody knows what a wease
Is, what it resembles and what it lives
for. Some believe, and act upon thei1
belief that it has nothing for which
to live and is of no value to man or
any of mis- avocations. This class is
quick to destroy the useful little
quadruped, whose mission is best de-
scribed when it is said to be the best
rat trap obtainable, and its life is
taken without any knowledge what
ever of its usefulness about the prem
ises where there are rats. The Amer
lean weasel is queer, quiet, quick lit
tie creature and where it lives rats
have to die, for it can go anywhere
rats can and will give them no peace
full moments. 10 weasels are seen
about the house or barn do not mo-
lest them; they will harm nothing
but the rats. Ferrets should not be
mistaken for weasels; they are rath-
er dangerous little animals to priyi-
lege about the barn and house, and
are not to be given the confidence felt
in their peaceful relatives. There may
be creatures for whose existence there
seems to some people no good excuse,
but the weasel is not one of them.--

VERY UNFORTUNATE.
Statements of Prof. Atwater in Re-
gard to the Food Value
of Alcohol.

Prof. Atwater is attracting some
critical notice by his persistent reitera-
ton of the food value of alcohol. Scien-
tiic men are usually careful not to
state any new facts or conclusions I'M
til they are established on a reasonable
probability. Such conclusions are al
ways given to the professional public
with full detail, and clearly, to avoid
all possible mistakes. To deliver oral
addresses on this subject before popu-
lar societies and associations, and,
when reported in the press, to deny
the accuracy of the reports, is very
unfortunate for any scientific man.
Prof. Atwater's conclusions and state
ments, with his explanations when eX-
amined critically, are found to be tech
nicalities open to so many sources of
error as to be only differences and the
cries. This explains the constant re-
traction and restatement of the facts
he has given, and suggests to many per-
sons strong personal bias andfeeling.
Several critics have claimed that his
zeal and dogmatic presentation of con-
illusions is paid service in the in
terest of moderate drinking and the
liquor traffic. 1t is unfortunate that
Prof. Atwater did not publish clear
statement of the facts and conclusions,
and the experiments supporting them
at the start. He would then have es-
capped the shadows and criticisms
which have gathered about him.-Jour-
nal of Inebriety.

NOT VERY EXPENSIVE.
How to Construct an Effective and
Satisfactory System of SiphOn-
ing Water from Wells

If the ground is sufficiently undulat-
ing, so that the bottom of the well is
three feet higher than the point where
the water is wanted, the supply can
be easily and ckeaply secured by means
of a siphon. Use an inch galvanized
iron pipe and bury it out of reach of
frost. All the fixtures necessary are
a pipe bent to go down into the well
and faucet at the discharge end. The
general arrangement is shown in the
engraving. There are little devices
which can be secured at hardware
stores which will make it easy to fill
the pipe should it become empty.
At the house end, if an outdoor faucet
is wanted, what is called a stop and

We notice in an exchange that a
farmer has brought to the office of his
local papers 16 ears of field corn, aver
aging IA inches long, and weighing 17h
pounds. 1t was the common yellow
corn, originally eight rowed, but by
careful selection he has brought much
of it up to ten or ~ rows. We call
that improving it the wrong way for
the northern states. We have seen 12-
rowed corn many time here in New
England, and seldom saw anyone who
cared to grow it the third year. The
cob is so coarse that it does not dry out
readily. and unless the season is very
favorable it is liable to mold. Possibly
it may do better in a more southern
climate, but we want no 12-rowed yell
low corn here.-American CultivatDr.

USE OF WINE AND BEER,
Which Consume Greatest
Quantities Also Consume
Ardent Spirits.

The use of wine and beer is some
times advocated on the claim that their
increased use tends to decrease the
consumption of ardent spirits. The
New Voice, of January IS, contains the
report of William Z. Johnson, its spe-
cial commissioner to inquire into the
facts along this line in Europe, espe-
cially in those countries in which the
lighter drinks are largely used. He
has studied the official reports of the
different governments, covering sub
stantially the past ten years, and he
has compiled the statistics in con-
venient tables. This compilation
shows that the larger use of wines and
beers is followed by larger use of the
stronger liquors, and that the less use
of the former is followed by a less use
of the latter. Indisputable figures
demonstrate the fallacy of the claim
that the best way to advance temper
ance is to advocate the use of wine and
beer. 1t seems that the milder bev-
erages cultivate an appetite which only
the strongest alcoholic drinks can sat
isfy. This investigation leads to the
conclusion, which has been reached by.
other methods, that the only safe
ground is total abstinence from every
thing that intoXicates, and the pro-
hibition of the traffic in it.
The report, among other interesting
facts, gives the following per capita
consumptions of wine and beer, in gal
Ions, in different European countries:

Germany, 25.4S; Great Britain, 31.3;
