How to Quit Tobacco.

Hearth and Home says the best
thing to hold in the mouth is q
mouthful of cold water. renewed
every few minutes. 1t will take
away the craving for tobacco quicker
than anything else, and is wholly un-
Objectionable. A pine stick is the best
of anything to chew, but the objec-
ton to that and to anything that is
chewed, is that it over exercises and
weakens the salivary glands. In
quitting the use of tobacco, quit at
once, and do not attempt to quit of
gradually.

A REMARKABLE FEAT.

No recent triumph of engineering
has been more decisive than that Just
achieved at the HOOsac Tunnel. Last
week q junction was effected between
the headings from the eastern side and
the central shaft, and this success is
regarded as positive proof that in less
than a year from this time the great
Massachusetts, bore will be completed;
indeed, the prophets are very exact,
and declare that ION October Is, 1873,
if all goes well, there will be an open
ing through Hoosac Mountain from
east to west" But almost anything
can be believed of this remarkable
enterprise, now, for it appears that al
though the shaft was sunk ,030 feet
into the earth, the heading from it
was so true that when the junction
was made with the opening from the
east, it showed a difference in line of
only five-siXteenths OF an inch. This
result seems almost incredible, but it
rests upon the statements of the Mas
sachusetts State Engineers, who have
MADE a careful examination of the
work.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

Mr.. B. F. McCarty, of Cleveland,
has made discovery which promises
to settle, partially at least. the ques-
ton OF smoke consumption, and in q
different way'from any yet suggested.
MI. Nee. was looking after means TO
secure better draft for a sluggish fire,
and the idea occurred to him, after
other devices had failed, to try the ef-
fects of steam. A small pipe was
made to conduct the dry steam -
from the top Of the boiler to the upper
part of the furnace, where it entered
in two small jets striking downward
on the burning fuel. No sooner was
the steam injected into the furnace,
than the sluggish, smoky fire sprang
up into a clear, bright, } ellowish and
intensely hot flame, filing the whole
furnace with a loud roar. The end
sought-a strong draft-was attained,
and in addition the long sought desid
eratum of a smokeless fire. This sim
pie apparatus was next applied to the
furnace of the Cleveland Herald print
ing establishment, and that journal
gives an interesting account of the re-
suit. 1t says f" The smoke stack that
had long been a nuisance to ourselves
and our neighbors was instantly as in
nocent of smoke as a deserted house :;
and so it has continued, save when
the steam has been turned off for the
sake of experiment and comparison.
The exact c. emical process is not vet
clearly determined. The most proba-
BILE explanation is that the agitation
caused by the violent injection of the
particles of steam brings the oxygen
of the air into more rapid combination
with the coal gas, and so facilitates
combustion. The steam itself may be
decomposed, and so furnish some OK
ygen, but this does not add to the
heat, as an equal amount of the heat
gained in the reconciliation of the
oxygen is lost in its separation from
the hydrogen of the steam. There is,
in the Herald furnace, q saving Of
about twenty FIVE per cent. of the fuel
consumed, which represents the
amount of carbon hitherto carried off
in smoke. By Mr.. MeCarty's simple
cOntrivance-on which he has secured
a patent-the Herald saves money by
the consumption of less fuel; il no
longer annOys its neighbors with
cloud of black smoke, even when
fresh coal is thrown on the fire and
the engineer reports that he can get
up steam much quicker than before"

A NEW STORY.
The Indianapolis Sentinel Of recent
date tells the following story:

The Indianapolis Sentinel Of recent
date tells the following story:
Come years ago, there was a well
known engineer, whose name is not
given for good and sufficient reasons,
who ran passenger train on one of
the most popular and most travelled
roads that run out of Indianapolis.
Alta certain place on the road, every
night for about week, as the passen-
ger train ran by this engineer, came
laundering along, it was certain to be
thrown from the track by distractions
placed there. Several of these mis-
haps eAuss d loss Ofilife, and the ability
of the engineer was being questioned.
One night as the unfortunate train
was nearing tine fatal spot, the engin-
eer who sitting glum and silent at the
throttle, turned to the fireman and
said; IF this train jumps the track
at that place to night, you follow me;
"DON'T STOP FOR ANYTHING,
But keep close after me. Somebody
has been throwing this train Off the
track and Pm going to catch him.
When the train arrived at the usual
place it struck a misplaced rail and
was banked. The engineer, close ~
followed by the fireman, jumped from
the engine and ran into a cOrnfield
and started up a man that lay con-
eealed there. Upon bringing the eul-
prit back to the wreck the enraged
passengers wanted to lynch him, but
the engineer, a astearn, cold, determin-
ed man, prevented them, saying he
would take care of him, and through
the intercessiOn of the conductor the
trembling wretch was LEFT in the
charge of the engineer. The train
was righted and was soon speeding
on its gay. The prisoner who had
confessed the deed, had been seated
on the engine and the fireman placed
beside him as guard. When the train
was on a smooth piece of track the
engineer beckoned the fireman. to
stand out of the way. The fireman
stepped aside and the engineer picked
up round stick Of wood and struck
the criminal such a blow upon the
head that it stunned him. He then
caught the quivering form of the
poor wretch, and opening the furnace
doors, threw the body into the hot
seething hell of flame The doors
were shut, the train ratified along and
meyer, until upon his death bed did
the engineer confess the act, nor was
it ascertained what had been the fate
of the fiend who had been in the hab-
it of throwing the passenger train of
the track.

The low price OF corn In the L nited
States seems to have created large
foreign demand for that staple instead
Of wheat. According to late report
Of the Bureau Of Statistics, there was
exported 1881, 252 bushels for the
fifteen months ending September 80,
1872, against 10, AL ZIG bushels for the
corresponding period to September 80
1871; while Of wheat there was ship
ped 46, s6l ,355 bushels for the fifteen
months ending september 80, 1871,
against 80, So, 7l2 bushels in the sim
liar period to September 80, last year.
The difference in the present rates OF
wheat and corn is considerably greater
than it was during the period to which
these statistics refer, and it /. probable
that the present summer will show q
still larger increase in the foreign con-
sumption Of the latter important
breadstuff staple.
