sewage Disposal on the Farm.

Sewage Disposal on the Farm.
If sewage were properly hand
led, typhoid fever and many
other diseases would decrease
greatly, according to a bulletin
just published by the University
Of Missouri. The Engineering
Experiment Station has made a
careful study Of the best methods
of disposing Of sewage in the
country.
Perhaps the simplest and most
common method is by a vault
dug in the ground. This has
many Objectionable features, chief
among which is the possibility Of
spreading disease. Water from
it seeping through the ground
may carry disease germs to a
well or cistern. 1t has been prov
ed that in this way germs may
travel several hundred feet. Flies
also may carry the filth and dis
ease to food material IN the kitch-
en-. Such a danger may be pre-
vented by the generous use of air
Stacked lime daily.
Another method not so com
mon in America but frequently
used in England is the cess-pool,
usually built with a dry wall Of
rock Or porous brick so that the
liquid may seep out into the sur
rounding soil. This is even
worse than the first method, be.
cause the danger will last longer.
Doctor BashcTe said of the cess
POOL method, 1T is a relic Of
medieval shiftlessness for which
no excuse can be offered"
To substitute for these old and
unsanitary methods the Expert
ment Station has worked out
plans for several up-to-date meth.
DDS of sewage disposal. These
are designed to suit the needs Of
the moderate priced country homr
whose builder desires convenience
and comfort.
The simplest method is ONE
much used in older countries

given for a concrete catch BASH
system which is said to Civ,
good results. A system of sep
tic tanks is described and ex
planned, and directions are giyer
for building it. The matter o.
final disposal of the waste il
thoroughly discussed. Differen.
methods of returning it to thu
land are shown. There is alsC
a section which gives general di
%rection for installing plumbing il

the average cost of such systems
are given.

plaTAlLs IN BRITISH ARMY.

Pigtails, which are threatened
with extinction in China, survived
in our army until well into the nine
teenth century, the Welsh fusiliers
being the last to abandon them. Sir
Algernon West relates how he heard
an argument once as to whether the
Blues did not wear pigtails at Wa
terloo. One of the disputants, who
had seen them on their way to Do
yer, was convinced that they did.
The other, who had been a midship-
man on the transport which con
yeyed them 10 0stend, was equally
certain that their hair was short
The giver of the dinner at which
the dispute arose referred the matter
on the following day to a friend who
had served in the Blues at Waterloo.
Both your friends were right" he
said. Owe were reviewed at Wind
sor by the king on our departure
with our pigtails on, and at Dover
we had them cut off before our en-
barkation. London Chronicle.

Moreover, it would not be, the first
time that fashion had to bow to a
higher decree than that Of milliners
and modistes. In the middle of the
fourteenth century at Bologna, Pescia
and elsewhere, all dresses had to be
submitted to the authorities and seal
ed with leaden "bolla,". and in Italy
in 1910 the church prohibited the la
dies Of Lombardy from wearing long
trains.
Would that some such check could
be put upon, fashions nowadays! When
we take our walks abroad we are COM
PEELED to submit to succession OF

has disappeared from our midst. Some

WHY THE GLACIERS SHRINK
Swiss Peasants Believe the Building
Of Mountain Railways Cause
the Damages.

Swiss peasants believe the constant
shrinkage of the Alpine glaciers Is
due to the building Of mountain ra1!-
ways. Whether the boring of tunnels
and the construction OF tracks has
really anything to do with the gradual
backward movement of the glaciers,
the fact remains that, according to last
