STORAGE TANKS.

used for garden crops for many years,
but about eight years ago Mr.. Fish con-
ceived the idea of constructing an irri-
cation plant as he suffered much loss
on his crops during seasons of drought.
He had never seen an irrigation sys-
TEN; but, being a close student and OF
an inventive turn Of mind, he thought
he could bring the water from near
by stream upon his fields and thus
counterfeit the action of Old Sol on
hot day.
The first step was the construction of
a dam across the stream, forming a
pond Of about one-half acre in extent
and about ten feet in depth, says a
writer in the Ohio Farmer in describ-
ing the plant. This pond has always
furnished an ample supply of water,
even when the fields were being almost
constantly sprinkled in very dry wealth
er. The water Is raised to the level of
the fields above by pump, operated
by four horsepower gasoline engine.
The pump throws two barrels of water
a minute. AS the engine requires but
little attention, it can be kept running
almost continually, and, with the stor-
age tanks, Mr.. Fish is able to sprinkle
1000 barrels of water on his growing
crops in day. The pump is located
at the edge of the water, the engine
part way up the bank, while the stand
pipe is up on the level of the fields
above.
This standpipe, which Is kept pumped
full Of water to the top, regulates the
flow Of water throughout the entire
system and gives about seven pounds
pressure to the square inch on the
sprinkling hose. The standpipe is made
of fifteen inch sewer pipe, Joined to-
gether with cement, and is sixteen feet
high. Iron pipes, three inches in diam
eter, run from the pump to the stand
pipe, and the water is then conducted
to the different parts of the fields by q
line of four inch sewer pipe, the Sec
tons of the pipe being Joined together
with portland cement in and around
the Joints and laid in trench two and
a half feet underground on an average.
This work was done by Mr. Fish and
a helper, care being taken to press the
cement we'll into the joints, and an in
genious wiper was made which fitted
the inside of the pipe loosely and was
drawn past each joint as it was made,
thus keeping the pipe free from an ex-
cess of cement on the inside.
At intervals of about fifty feet along
the pipe line uprights three inches in

"oriented" orientals.

knowledge of direction seems to be
instructive with the Burmans, says the
author of "a People at School" They
always reckon by the needle, not by
relative position. They do not say
Turn to the right" but Turn to the
west" If table In room has two
tumblers on 1t, one of them will be the
east tumbler, the other the west, and
the table itself will be not the table
near the window" but the table in the
east of the ROOM" So they speak of
the north or south side of a street or
of tree, not the shady or sunny side.
Even In rain or mist they know the
direction at once. An English traveller,
walking in the Burman forest on
foggy morning to find all trace Of the
road wiped out by rain and every ap-
parent means of ascertaining direc-
ton gone, was at loss what to do,
but his Burman servants knew at
once. "That is NORTH" they said, point
ing, land that is east. Our course lies
between" and straight to the north
east they marched unerringly.

HeIgoIand Soup.

What do the Helgolanders do with
their birds? Some are sent away to
the Hamburg market and the rest kept
for home consumption. Roasting be-
fore a slow fire, with the tail on, over
toast, is practically an unknown art
or at least one rarely practiced. Every
thing goes into the pot for soup. "TIos-
selsoup" is an institution much lauded.
Mr.. Gatke tells us how it should be
prepared. Take care to commit forty
or fifty thrushes, according to the re-
quirements of the family, to the soup
pot, and do not have the latest birds
drawn, and if the cook is true artist
no one will fail to ask second helping.
A favorite Helgoland dish is kittiwake
pie. In November and December these
gulls are very fat and when prepared
in Helgolandish fashion are considered
a delicacy. although somewhat fishy
one. The gray crow is also a very ia
vorite dish.-Chambers' Journal.

Begging seems to be lucrative call
ing in Vienna. In one of the district
police courts a man and his wife were
summoned to appear on a charge of
begging in the streets. Only the wo-
man appeared, and in answer to the
magistrates questions stated that her
husband had gone to Baden to take
cure! The prosecuting attorney re-
marked that the Viennese beggars
earned such good incomes and lived so
well that they were forced to go to
some bath resort to recover from their
high living, Only few days ago, he
said, a beggar well known in the Wen
ma police courts had returned from
Carlsbad after taking the cure there
and had resumed his begging with
renewed vigor.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Glimpse of Carlyle.

One day Carlyle suddenly stopped at
a street crossing and, STOPPING, picked
up something out Of the mud, even at
the risk of being knocked down and
run over by passing vehicles. With his
bare hands he gently rubbed the mud
from it. He then took it to the pave
ment and laid it down on clean spot
on the curbstone. That" said the old
man in tone of tenderness he rarely
used, sis only crust of bread. Yet
was taught by my mother never to
waste anything-above all, bread, more
precious than gold. am sure that the
little sparrows or hungry dog will
get nourishment from this bit Of
bread"

"Don't imagine" says an auctioneer,
'that you can get any real bargains at
a pawnshop sale. The pawnbroker
knows just what people think about
his stock, many of them having learn
ed from experience that he will pay
next to nothing on the best quality Of
jewelry and silverware, watches, etc.,
and they thus get it into their heads
that all the articles sold at auction are
genuine goods. But there's where they
make a big mistake. The pawnbroker
seldom sells any pledged articles at
these auction sales. He uses them sim
ply for a blind Articles taken in
pawn are invariably sold at private
sale."-New York American.

diameter are placed and extend about
FIVE inches above the ground, to which
may be attached the sprinkling hose.
When not in use the opening is made
water tight by round wooden lid and
rubber ring, which fits into the flange
of the pipe and is held in place by an
iron clamp and screw, invented for the
purpose by Mr.. Fish. 1t requires but
a moment to attach the hose to one Of
these uprights.
The first season Mr.. Fish had his
system in operation he made nice
sum off a cauliflower crop. He set
out three acres that year. 1t turned in
hot and dry; he pumped water almost
continually for six weeks and kept the
ground wet. The farmers who did not
irrigate lost their crops by drought.
Mr.. Fish considers celery about the best
paying crop to grow, If one is fixed to
irrigate it and is in touch with good
market.

The Kinghsher.

Many and curious are the legends of
the kingfsher. One of these is to the
effect that the bird was originally
plain gray in color, but upon being let
loose from the ark flew toward the
setting sun and had its back stained
blue by the sky and its lower plumage
scorched by the sun to gorgeous hues.
The dried body of the kingfisher was
once used as charm against thunder
bolts and moths, and it was hung up
SO that it might point with its bill to
the winds quarter.

How mn Ohio Man Saves His Crops
During Dry Weather.
What is said to be one Of the most
practical and effective irrigatlng plants
In this country is located on Jennings
avenue extension, near Cleveland, o.,
on the farm of Eben Fish. At Mr..
Fish's place there is a gravel bed at
least 100 feet in depth, making sub
soil which will absorb all the water
which will ever fall upon it. This
makes it in some respects an ideal
place for irrigation, as it is never too
wet for the growing crops, and the
only thing to be considered is plenti-
tul supply of water during dry
weather.
There is not foot of draintile in

folds waving a cheerful welcome to

The sugar, that the housewives or
Ely will use in the future, will not
have pure white color but will be
somewhat yellowish. Sugar in It's
natural and undulterated state is not
the white sugar that has been placed
on the market during late years. Blue
coloring material was used to impart
to the sugar that pure white tint.
The same principle was followed that
every housekeeper employees, when
using the wash blue on her clothes in
order to get a dazzling white. Blue
ing was used in the coloring OF the
sugar but under the pure food law OF
the United States this coloring is for
hidden and its use made punishable
by fine. Sugar men are rejoicing
over this act forit eliminates large
item of expense and results in making
sugar more wholesome. Some OF the
refners intended to manufacture the
uncolored product, but popular de-
