Youngster in Ancient
Athens.

Athens.-A boys find Of some lit.
tie leaden figures at Lemnaeum, near
Sparta, has led TO the discovery Of
rich store of relics, which were
the offerings to the goddess Artemis
Orthia, whose temple stood on the
site in the days Of ancient Greece.

BUILDING A CIsTERN.
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. II 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. 1t would be well 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 1t
should be whitewashed with two coats
of pure Portland cement, the last coat
being applied after the first has had
time to become hard.

ranging for the filtration of the water
are represented In the ground plan

concrete bottom and sides have been
completed. The filter consists of two
walls made from 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 he 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
dl.er.
The space between the two brick
walls which should not be less thar
is inches in the clear, should be filled
with a 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

WOLVES NEAR CITY
INDIANA FARMERS CAPTURE
FARMYARD MARAUDERs.
Ferocious Beasts slay Sheep and
Calves Within an Hours
Ride of Great Me-
tropolis.

Chicago.-Five wolves captured and
some still free within rifle shot OF
where stupendous manufacturing In
terests are being rapidly developed
serves to emphasize the theory that,
after all, civilization Is, as yet, only
step removed from savagery. In the
Calumet district of Indiana, scarcely
more than an hours ride from Chica-
go. the natives are boasting of recent
wolf exploits and hoping for more to
come.
For some time tracks that old tim
ers declared were those of wolves had
been seen. Scoffers pronounced II i'm
possible. but more tracks were seen.
Strange noises were heard at night;
chickens disappeared; even sheep
or two and small calves were killed
and partly devoured
Finally George Hamper in charge
of a clubhouse and the surrounding
farm. killed a full grown wolf and,
skinning it carefully, had the skin
stuffed and mounted Hunters. of
course, envied Hampers good fortune.
However. this was not the only OPP
portunity afforded. The depredations
continued.
Wolves were often seen in the gray
of early morning sezing chickens and
devouring such carcasses of animals
as had not been buried.
/ No one secured. another successful
shot and apparently the wolf pack was
thriving and waxing larger and bolder
Several farmers along the river set
traps only to find them empty morn
/ ing after morning
/ Hampers determined upon trying
his fortunes as trapper. He hauled
refuse, throwing 1t into considerable
piles in such position as to form
hollow square. in the center of which
was a dead horse. Between each two
piles he set q strong trap so that to
get at the meat the wolves must pass
over the traps or leap over the piles
Everything ready, Hamper and his
men were anxious for the morning.
1t came. but no wolf was covering in
trap. The next day, however as
they were husking corn one of the
men declared that he saw something
moving among the refuse piles.
IL proved to be full grown wolf,
and male. How TO secure him alive
without encountering danger puzzled
them a little: but one of the men cut
a forked stick and held it upon his
neck with sufficient force to pin him
70 the ground and TO prevent him
turning his head to bite.
Next a strap was slipped under his
body and moved forward until 1t could
be buckled about his neck. A chain
fastened to the strap provided a
means by which he could be tied.
Throwing blankets over the animal,
the men took the wolf to building at
the club where he was chained very
much like one of his cousins, the watch
dogs.
Since then three more wolves have
succumbed to the prowess of Hamper
who is still awaiting a material re-
ward in the form of bounty offered for
wolf scalps.

CATTLE EXPERT FOR SOUTH

Washington.-Dr. d. E. Salmon, for

guayan government OF the acceptance
of his offer TO organize a bureau of
animal industry for that government
at salary of $4,000 annually in gold
and all of his living expenses.
One of the first things DR.. Salmon
will do in Uruguay will be to draft a

LATE CHICKS.
Tendency of Late Years Has Been I
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 1t and
find 1t 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.
II 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 tc
produce their best now. But from
hns that are exhausted no good
chicks need be expected.

London.-One word in the will OF
Temple West, who left s1,l25000 to

no indications OF being settled soon.
The word over which the dispute
has ragged is "domicied." In his will
Mr.. West describes himself as "an
Englishman domiciled in Nice" The
question is whether he meant domi.
ciled or resident. In the form he put

French law, which places restrictions

out result. II is suggested that a
compromise be effected. Under the
French law the charities would re.

IN DRY SEASONS.
Thorough Cultivation VIII Hold Mois-
ture in Soil and Keep Crops
Growing.

When rainfall is short in the spring
more careful cultivation is necessary,
In order that hoed crops may grow
steadily without a setback. Cultiva-
ton retains moisture and the harrow
or shallow cultivator should be kept
going constantly Don't work wet soil
but after light shower, stir the
ground as quickly as possible to pre-
vent the moisture getting away. The
dust mulch is great benefactor to
the farmer in dry districts. By using
II carefully, enough moisture is re-
tainsd in the practically rainless dis.
tricts of Colorado to grow good crops.
The secret Of the Campbell system of
soil culture, explains Farm and Home,
Is TO retain what moisture is received
by the soil and allow very little-to es-
cape by evaporation. This is entirely
possible and the great results attend
Ing this work are sufficient proof of its
success.
