Waterpro0ting Concrete
put in the Proper Mixture and DO the Work in the First Place

another is to apply wash to the sur
face of the concrete after 1t has been
nut in place. This last method Is in
the nature of second thought,
and is not nearly so good as when the
waterproofing is done in the first
place. This can be done by mixing
hydrated lime with the cement, equal
parts to per cent to II per cent OF
the concrete. This lime should be
made up in the form OF cream Of
lime: that is. by stacking the lime
thoroughly and making 1t into fine
cream without any Jumps in it. IL
should be thoroughly mixed with con-
crete bfore the concrete is put in the
forms. This will make the concrete
watertight under pressure much
greater than is ordinarily found in
cellars.
About 10 per cent to Is per cent of
fine clay has been used sometimes
with lean concrete, although 1t does
not have much value with rich con-
crete. Clay has not proven nearly
so good as hydrated lime.
Alum and soap are sometimes used
to mix with the concrete. and they
are more expensive and troublesome
than hydrated lime.

The alum and soap combine in the

solution is made by dissolving one

and the soap solution is made by dis
solving 2.2 pounds Of hard soap per
gallon OF water. The concrete should
be clean and dry, and not colder than
so degrees fahrenheit. The soar
wash should be applied boiling hot

BEWARE OF FRESH
MANURE IN GARDEN

Barnyard manure Is good for the
garden IL applied at the right time,
but there arc times when its applica-
tion is harmful. Fresh manure, when
applied Immediately before planting,
cannot be thoroughly Incorporated
with the soil. As n result the land Is
hard to work and the ground Is loose

also induces n rank growth OF stem

A LECTURE AT THE STATE HOS.
PITAL.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: We have
had a treat here at the insane hospital
by hearing Arthur Delroy of New
York, psychiaI lecturer who recently
has delighted his audiences at the com
munity ChautauqUa in Lewiston, Me.
Travelling all night from Bangor here,
including a long detOur which made
considerable delay in his cause, Mr..
Delroy was rather tired, but the keen
interest which the patients showed
was very refreshing.
Mr. Delroy found the listeners at
the hospital unusually bright. In fact,
some of the patients were very quick
to catch on to many little witticisns
which filled the speech, and many did
not lose one of them.
He states he has had lots Of audi
enCes outside of an insane hospital
that were not as bright.
The talk on the control of ones af-
fairs by mental pOise; and there were
frequent interruptions from the audi
ence which were right to the point
several of which I hear he intends
using in the future talks.
There is one cOterte of women here
who has evidently been oVeTworked,
speaker or journalist, or something,
said Mr.. Delroy.
One of the women whom one could
not suppose was anything but per
fectly normal in criticising the talk
suggested that it was just a l little
frothy; and did not go deep enough
into the subject for her. But she said:
Really, nowadays, people have so little
brains. Haven't they" To which
Delroy agreed with a dim conscious
ness that he was one of them.
Another unusual feature was the
frank criticism of the audience while
the performance was going on.
One man said to his neighbor quiet
ly: There is nothing in that" when
Mr.. Delroy's remarks on hypnotisn did
not quite coincide with his; and an
other very CHEEKY opttmist gave a very
enthusiastic applause when the speak
er said: '"The world was full Of pessi-
mistic Knockers" On the whole, Mr.
Delroy said when he is unusually bored
with undemonsrative audiences he
returns to the Maine hospital for lit
tie of their eGhilarating enthusiasm
One of the reporters asked him If
he didn't think his success with the
insane was not very complimentary to
his own talent. He blahdly replied:
'FWho is there in the world who is not
insane? The only difference is these
people recognize their idiosyncracies
and we do not"
In Mr.. Delroy's talk there was no
note of pity for their illness which
