BUILDING A clSTERN.
Nothing Better Than Cement-Three
Plans of Filtering the
Water.

There is no better material to use
in the construction of cistern than
Portland cement concrete. Such ma
terial will make a permanent, effective
and sanitary receptacle for drinking
water If small cobble stones are
available, these may be used in max
ing concrete walls with a saving in
cement. If the cistern is to be in an
exposed position, it would be we'll to
make the upper four feet of the wall
with two or three inch air space, to
reduce tendency to freeze. The inner
walls of the cistern should be plas-
tered with a rich coat of Portland
cement, not less than half an inch
thick; and after this coat has set it
should be whitewashed with two coats
of pure Portland cement, the last coat
being applied after the first has had
time to become hard.
In the illustrations, taken from
Country Gentleman, three plans of ar
ranging for the filtration of the water
are represented in the ground plan.
AS shown, the filters are constructed
on the bottom of the cistern after the
concrete bottom and sides have been
completed. The filter consists of two
walls made from a good quality Of
hard-burned porous brick carefully
laid in cement mortar, making the
mortar no more than quarter of an
inch thick, and taking pains not to get
cement on either exposed face of the
brick so as to clog the pores through
| which the water must filter. Lime
mortar could be used in laying the
brick, but the solvent action of the
soft water would in time carry the lime
away and weaken the walls of the
filter.
The space between the two brick
walls, which should not be less than
| Is inches in the clear, should be filled
| with fairly fine clean sand. The filter
should extend from the bottom TO the
top of the cistern, and the overflow
from the cistern should be below the
top of the filter, so that there can be
no direct discharge into the filter
chamber. In figure 1 the filter is in
the center of the cistern, about three
feet in inside diameter, and is formed
Of two single layers of brick laid fiat
wise. The water enters the outer
chamber, A, of the cistern, and reaches
the filter chamber, c, by percolating
through the walls of the filter, as indi

inches long with threads on one end
and two pieces of one-half-inch pipe
(CC) 2N inches long with thread on
both ends. On the ends (DD) put one
half-inch caps.
A larger hammer may be made by
using pipe of larger dimensions, and
the hammer can be made heavier by
stopping up the tee and filling the
head with lead.
Such hammer as this has it's lin
itations, but for heavyweight work,
less than what would be required for
a heavy iron maui, such a hammer
might be used to an advantage.

REMARKABLE FEAT OF A HA-
WAIIAN FISHERMAN.
IN WATER NEARLY II HOURS
Boat Capsizes in squall and His Three
Companions Perish lis Nearly
Driven Mad by Crabs During
Awful Experience.

Honolulu. H. I.-Edward Duvau-
chelle, of Molokai, is the hero of
most remarkable story of human
courage and endurance and of mar
velous escape from death. The fact
that he was one of the team that rem
resented the national guard of Ha-
wall at the rifle shooting at Sea Girt,
N. j., last fall will perhaps add some
interest to the tale OF his thrilling ex-
perience.
Monday night, May %, Duvauchelle,
who is a fisherman, living at Pukoo
on the southern coast of Molokai, with
three native Hawaiians as compan-
ions, left home in a whaleboat with a
load of fish for Lahaina, Maui, about
IL miles away. They arrived there
safely, sold their fish, and about eight
o'clock started In dead calm to row
back. A light breeze sprang up and
they hoisted sail, making the sheet
fast. A sudden squall capsized them
before they could ease, off the sheet.
The boat became waterlogged and be-
gan drifting out to sea.\ They were at
the time mile or two from Kama
pail landing, Maui. They made a float
with four oars and the mast and with
this to help them, two of the natives,
at their own request, started to swim
ashore to get help.
After waiting their return for three
hours in vain Duvauchelle and his re-
naming companion, Dam Pawaa,
came to the conclusion that the two
men had failed to reach shore, and as
the whaleboat was drifting still farth-
er out to sea they decided that they
would themselves attempt to reach
the shore by swimming. They made a
| float of the boom and gait and all that
was left of the boats gear and start
| direction of Napili and they were able
| to gradually make their way toward
the shore. When within half a mile
of it they discovered, to their conster:
nation, that the current was setting
against them and that in spite of all
their efforts they were drifting farther
away-this time in the direction OF
Molokai, which seemed to them to be
about ten miles distant. They there.
| fore made up their minds to swim to-
ward the shore Of that island. They
seemed to be making considerable
Roadway and by sunset were as near
as they could Judge by the line OF
breakers on the reef, four or five miles
| from the shore.

LATE CHICKS.
Tendency of Late Years Has Been to
Hatch Too Many-Make Good
Spring Layers.

Once the late chick was considered
of no account, not worth Matching.
OF late years the tendency has been
to hatch too may chicks late. Per-
haps this is responsible for a great
deal Of the poor fertility reported
every spring.
But the late chick as we get it and
find it in the growing should be con-
sidered with more discrimination
than is implied in the general dis
cussion of "late hatched" or of June
or July" chicks, says Farm Poultry,
It is not the time or the season
that makes or mars the chick. These
Of course 'are factors, but more i'm.
portant are the conditions of the par.
ent stock and the conditions given
the growing chicks. Some fowls are
in better condition for breeding now
than they were in the earlier months.
These may reasonably be expected to
produce their best now. But from
Inns that are exhausted no good
chicks need be expected =, .

tainly sounds like something very re-
markable."
Laughing and talking brightly, they
went in to breakfast.
The meal was served in small,
dark-raftered room, cosy with a glow
ing fireplace. Here America presided
with all the strength of her ungainly
body and loyal heart. She, alone, of
the servants, insisted upon accompany
ing the party. Am l gwine?" and
she repeated Lavender's words. "Well,
honey, jes wush I was as plum sho
oh Heaven as am o. cavoortin' 'roun'
in dat ole Noay's ark!"
The owners of the rude boat to
which America thus alluded were, for
the most part, gay youths from the
eastern cities, who, for varied reasons,
had chosen to follow the fortunes of
Aaron Burr.
Those among them to whom he was
away by his magnetic presence; others
by party preferences, but more, like
Charles Winslow, were here in obedi-
ence to longing for change, with
moderate hopes Of fame and fortune
If there were schemes afoot> against
their country-if there were peril to
it's flag in the proposed expedition
they were ignorant Of it. Burr's public
successes had awakened in them an ad-
miration which no later disgrace could
subdue. Hence their zeal in cause
which, originally undertaken from mo-
tlves of personal gain, was, by hostile
opposition, converted into crusade
for the vindication of their leader. All
we're enraged at what they considered
unWarranted interference on the part
of the authorities, and this indignation
was reused under conditions which
barred sober thought; at time when
party feeling ran high; when if, as sell
dom, men held impartial opinions, they
were confined to private individuals.
The truth concerning those in official
power was largely obscured by the mist
of calumny or the glamor of worship.
At dusk of the first day on the river
Lavender was standing on the roof
which served as promenade deck A
light snow began to fall. She watched
the white flakes drift reluctantly into
the black water that leaped and foamed
to meet them. Dark treacherous snags
reared their jagged heads Cereberus-
like, the foam from the keel circling
in a white lather about their giant
mouths.
The hills rose bare and rugged on
either side, without sign of life; she
might have been a lonely passenger
on the river Styx, with the man at
the pole a silent Charon.'
