WATERPROOF WASH.
Walls That Have Been Covered with It Have Proved Quite Imper-
 Vious to Water.

Use two washes for covering the sur face, one of castillo soap and one of alum and water. The proportions are three-quarters of a pound of soap to one gallon of water, and half a pound of alum to four gallons of water, both substances to be perfectly dissolved in water before being used. The walls should be perfectly clean and dry, and the temperature of the air not above 5Odcgrees Fahrenheit when the compo- sitions are applied. The first, or soap wash, should be laid on when boiling hot, with a flat brush, taking care to form froth on the brick work. This wash should remain 24 hours, so a to become dry and hard before the sec ond, or alum wash is applied, which should be done in the same manner as the first The temperature of this wash, when applied, should be GO or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and this also should remain "A hours before sec- ond coat of the soap wash is put on. These coats are to be applied alternate ly until the walls are made impervious to water. The alum and soap thus com bined form an insoluble compound, fill Ing the pores of the masonry and en- tirely preventing the water from en- tering the walls.
 The foregoing method, recommend ed by the Architect of London, has been given a trial near Philadelphia with satisfactory results.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Wisconsin Legislator PrOpOges . Plan Having a Tendency to
 Emancipate Her.

Modern invention and scientific re search have done much to tighten the burdens of the farmer Inventive skill tions of husbandry by supplying la- bor-saving machinery, but it has adapted many of the conveniences and comforts of the city'to farm life.
 But inventive genius has done very little for the farmers wife. It has relieved her of buttermaking through the multiplication of the modern creamery, but in doing so it has also diverted the profits of this industry to the farmers pocket, whereas the proceeds of buttermaking formerly were conceded by custom and prece- dent to the farmers wife.
 The farmer has the telephone and free mail delivery, and he rides all day long on a sull1y blow or on reaper that cuts the grain and binds it into sheaves. IL is doubtless only question of time when machines will husk his corn and dig his pota- toes. But the drudgery of the weeks washing and ironing is still with the farmers wife. While the lord of the fields rides in indolent comfort in sulkv blow the wife bends over @ washtub or wrestles with the hot irons two days out of every week.
 A promise of belated relief for the farmers wife is seen in the proposi- ton of Representative Frost, of Wis consin, to establish steam laundry at every crossroads in the state, to which the farmers washing and iron- ing may be brought every week. As the state is dotted all over with creameries and cheese factories, it would be an easy matter to operate steam laundries in connection with them.
 There is nothing impossible or vii sionary about MT. Frost's plan. It embodies the principle of cooperation which has already been successfully applied to nearly every form of ag- ricultural activity, from the old grist and sawmills to the modern cream cry. Divest the farmers household of this form of drudgery and then in- troduce in the kitchen some of the modern labor-saving devices that are used in hotels and the life of the farmers wife will begin to approach that standard of ease and comfort long since attained by the farmer himself.-Chicago Record-Herald.

A BROTHERS LOVE.

Lostant, Ill.,, July s.-James Watt, of this place, by one little act, has given a splendid example of that never dying love which exists be- tween brothers, no matter how far apart they may be.
 MT. Watt was great sufferer from Kidney Trouble and Nervousness. He was very much used up, and all though he had tried a great many things, he had found nothing that would in any way relieve him. Some one suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he used six boxes, and was com- pletely cured.
 His first thought was for brother in Belfast, Ireland, whom he knew to be afflicted in the same way that he had been. MT. Watt immediately sent a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills to this far-away brother, together with his recommendation based on his fortunate experience.
