Manufacturer of Hair Cloth,

Hair cloth is made from the hair of
horses tails, which is brought, some of
it from South America, but more from
Russia. In the latter country it is col
lected at the great fairs of Mini, Nov
gorod, and Isbilt. 1t is of all shades
of color, and for use is dyed black. The
poorest quality sells for about Soc. a
pound the best for "a, the price rapid
ly increasing as the length exceeds
twenty-four inches. In the fabrication
of hair cloth the hair is wet with water,
and when we'll soaked is put in the loom
to be woven with a cotton warp. The
weaving mechanism is SO perfect in its
operation that if one of the hairs form
ing the weft is missed, the device act
ing upon it continues to work until it
has grasped it, all the other parts of the
machine standing still.

Advice About Sea Travelling.

In selecting state-rooms, says the
European correspondent of the st.
Louis Mail, those located amidship and
in the lower cabin are the most desirable
the lower down you are and nearer
the centre, the less you are susceptible
to the motion of the ship. Most peo-
pie, in choosing rooms, when shown the
cabin plans, select those in the upper
or deck cabin, fancying that they are
the best in every particular but after
a day or so at sea they see their mistake
and heartily wish themselves below. 1t
is also advisable to be provided with
easy travelling chairs for deck use, as
you will not find them on any vessel,
and as you will probably spend the
greater portion of your time on deck,
they will be found an indispensable
article.
AS to sea-sickness, there may be some
preventions, but the only one we are
aware of is to have an attack of bilious
fever just before you sail. Generally,
however, it is best to let natNre have it's
course, and you will get through all
right-so say old salts. A few lemons
and oranges with you will do much
toward alleviating the nausea peculiar
to sea-sickness and aid you in recover
ing an appetite. A loss of appetite is
one Of the features of the complaint,
and in such cases one should eat regu-
larly, even if unable to hold it in his
stomach a moment, and continue to eat
until he can. This strengthens the
stomach and assists in your recovery
whereas, if you submit without strug.

very exhausted condition, which may
take weeks to recover. Some people
do not get sea-sick, and, instead, suffer
from dry, racking headache, as was oul
personal experience and when this is
the case, it is best to provoke sickness
by swallowing a tumbler of hot sal
water and mustard, which generally
produces the desired effect.

Origin of ChlOrOfOrm,

We are indebted to the insect tribe
for chloroform, one of the most power
full agents in alleviating pain. The little
ant contains a substance called formic
acid, about which old John Ray and
Martin Lester corresponded a century
ago; and they found that it contained
an acid, and so it got into the books as
formic acid. 1t was found to be COM
posed of compound radial formyle,
and three atoms of oxygen. Dumas
substituted chlorine for the oxygen, and
thus obtained tirchloride of formyle,
which is chloroform. Then the Ameri
cans found that ether was capable of
taking away all sensations of the human
body, and DR.. Simpson, of Edinburgh,
found that tirchloride of formyle was
more thoroughly adapted for this pur-
pose than even ether. All this has
arisen from study of the habits of
insects.

RAISING SUNKEN BoDHs.-An import
ant series of trials has recently been
made in England to raise sunken bodies
by means of improved kinds of inflated
pontoons. In one instance an iron body
weighing seven tons was brought to the
surface by single pontoon, the latter
having been inflated by means of an in
let pipe and small air machine worked
by hand from the surface of the water.
The pontoons can be attached to any
body which is at depth to which di-
vers can descend, and it is believed will
be seryiceable in raising sunken ships.

1t is difacult to ruin strong constitution. To
weaken, injure or cripple this source Of physical
viRor and endurance is an caster task and may al
ways be accomplished by positively disregarding
or violating certain hygeian laws, the observance
of which is essential to the well-beng Of the body
and to the sustanme of that vital force by which
it is animated and supported. But good consti-
tuition is wonderfully elastic, and after it has
been very hardly dealt with by its possessor, all
its pristine vigor may be recovered if the proper
course of treatment is adopted. Hostetters stom-

constitution is often severely tried by long con-

heavily upon the sources Of vital activity than
