A Waterproof Cement.

Experiments made by the officers of an English railroad seem to demon strate that waterproof cement may be made from a mixture of cement and clay. The best results were ob- tained with cement mixed with clay in proportions of one of clay to seven of cement and the mixture then used as the cement in a 1.3 sand mortar. Blocks of this mortar over eight inches thick were impermeable. Specimens six inches thick containing the same materials, but mixed with 5 per cent alum solution, were also impermeable when subjected to forty pound water pressure.

The rope holds the box in this position until the food is wanted, when a few turns of the crank will bring the box and it's contents to the top within easy reach from the out side.-Popular Mechanics.

 A country place is not always situat- ed where ice can be procured during the summer months, and substitute refrigerator must be provided. A resi- dent of a country place devised a cool ing apparatus which he placed in his well.
 The device consisted of box about one foot squase made of boards hav- ing a length to reach almost to the water level aanl to extend about four feet above tFe platform of the well. A short box cHsntaining several shelves is made to ssp easily into the long one, similar te a dumb waiter. This smaller box ss lowered and raised

ARRANGEMENT OF AGITATOR.

inch cylinder cast iron force pump R6). a plain brass. two inch cylinder and valve ($2), a piece of good three quarter inch hose and a spraying noz- gle $2); total cost, $11. After putting the above material together l was able to get easily pressure of 150 pounds per square inch, very necessary pre- requisite to apply the bordeaux mix ture with the right force.
 Directions for assembling are as fol- lows: Take the valves out of the cyl- finder of any cast iron force pump. Replace these valves with the plain brass two inch cylinder and valves. Cut off with hack saw the two inch cylinder to the right length to just fill the cast cylinder. Fill in the space between cast cylinder and brass cylin- der with plaster or cement, being sure that the brass cylinder is in the exact center of the cast cylinder. Attach the plunger valve of brass cylinder to the plunger t9ston of the force pump and couple up the piston to the handle of the pump so as to get full stroke. AS only a small amount of liquid is needed in spraying, the object of this reduction of cylinder is to lessen the flow and increase the pressure. The reduction of three to two halves the flow and doubles the pressure. Mount the pump on the barrel and the barrel on the riding cultivator frame. Make an agitator as follows: In the barrel, near the bottom, on the end or head of the same, hang with T hinge a board made of oak 1 by 6 by ? feet to swing up and down. Connect the board with the pump plunger by a steel rod so that it will swing up and down with the stroke. The steel rod should enter the barrel through an opening made to pour in the liquid.

Dress Minor Matter.
Girls did not think so much OF dress
In those days as they do now. OF course.
We all liked to look pretty, but our social
status was not decided by whether we
wore e calico or silk dress. To-day girls
look like they are dressed In their moth
ers' dresses. Another thing do not care
about in the young girl of to-day is their
Importance. We did not seek the men,
bers Of the diplomatic corps in that day,
either. Some few of the diplomats were
real nice, especially Mr.. Bodisco. the Rus

bridesmaid at this wedding, which, be-
lieve. was the first diplomatic one IN
Washington.

The wedding OF Miss Elizabeth Tyler is

The English Minister, Mr.. Fox, seems
to have made an impression, for they

eccentric manners. He had typical Eng

to stroll down Twenty-third street until
he came to the home OF an old colored
woman Here he would buy fresh eggs
and carry them back to the legation. At
the time of the marriage OF the Russian
Minister to Miss Williams Mr.. Fox found
that ell the carriages had been engaged,

cage Are Social Links
of Present and Past.

There is one class OF persons in Wash
ington. an exclusive limited class. TO
whom the ebb and flow OF administrations
and Presidents are but incidents. These
make up the real society OF Washington,
a society not dependent on the smiles or
frowns Of the White House or the com
pany OF celebrities.
They are law unto themselves. En-
trance to this favored inner circle Of
Washington society Is not through gold
OF official favor. but family and gentle
breeding are the only passports. In ex-
clusiveness, this circle rivals that OF the
Faubourg Saint German In Paris.
Presiding over this ideal social coterie
are three Grand Danes OF venerable age
and aristocratic lineage, social links with
the past. Undisturbed by the changing
sands OF society and economies they
re-live In memory the traditions OF the
past. an inspiration TO the present, g bit

Century Capital, each happy In full en-

At this time from about 1886 TO 1916, Dolly
Madison was living In her beautiful house

home OF the Cosmos Club.

Britannia Wellington Kennon, ninety-fve
years old, who was Miss Wellington a
close relative OF Martha Washington and
her only living lineal descendant; Richard
Coolidge. ninety-seven years old. who was
Miss Harriet Morris, daughter OF the
naval commissioner, Commodore Norris,
end the very youngest OF the three.
Mrs. Cleland Kinioch Nelson. ninety-one
years old who was Miss Mary Margaret
Hagner.
Mrs Nelson is now living on the same
square OF land which her father pur-
chased nearly one hundred and fifty
years ago. Little Mary Margaret Hag-
ner, who is the oldest living represta-
tive OF this old and distinguished Wash
ington family was born on Christmas day
in the year 1918. She was the eighth Of
twelve children.
Her father, Peter Valentine Hagner,
represented the old blueblooded landhold-
srs and government officials Of that day.
