TIE ApoPLEclC SrRoXE. "A
middle aged physician said one day
to the writer: "As | was walking

Just as my ancestors have, Of paralys

was, Diminish the tension on the
blood vessels, and there need be no
fear Of tearing them in a weak place.
Now, this expresses in plain terms
the exact cause OF apoplexy in the
great majority Of instances and il is
one, too. which every one has it in
his power to prevent. A blood yes

sill presently be mentioned, has lost

CAR WuErI.s ~ ExaLANn.-An

CAR WHEELS IN ENGLAND. An
effort is being made, thus far without
success. to intrOduc. into England
the chill-iron car wheel, cast in one
piece, such as have general ac-
ceptance and use in America.
The most popular ear wheel there
is one similar to our locomotive
driving wheel, with 4 steel tire r.vet
ell on with four or eight bolts, an
inch in diameter. OF this claSs OF
wheel 100, 600 are in use. Expert
euce has shown that these tires will
travel 10000 miles on steel rails
and not wear one inch, and that a
continued running OF 100 niles will
not more than warm the tire. OF
the 60, 600 pair of these wheels run
ming on the Great Western, very few
were found detective or produced &C
cidents. Tires have been run for
twenty years, and starting at sn inch
and half thickness, have worn down
to seven cighths of IN iuch and are
still sery;ceable
The introduction of 4 system o:
fastening tires by wedges, rs invent
ed several years since by the master
mechanic of the Boston and Provi'
dence Railway, is being adopted by
one or two roads, while new wheel,
consisting of sixty-nine pieces, has
been adopted by the Southeastern
Railway. There are $4,000 pa.sen-
ger coaches on the railways in Great
Britain, of which only 4,o0o have six
wheels. The rest have four wheels.
There are 136,S0C goods merchsn-
disc cars, which all have six wheels.
Frost is the chiet cause for acci-
dents in that county, the tires being
the especial anxiety. The rivets, be
ing of wrought iron, are more quick
ly affected than the steel tire, and
occasionally snap, letting the tire run
loose. In the winter OF 1862, when
the frosts in Enc land were very Sc
we're, wooden wheels were adopted
on all fast through trains, ana yet,
with all the severe tests in our
American variable climate with
chilled iron wheel, the English me-
chanics fail to recognize their service
ableness.

THE IDEAL "RoUsrER The av-
eiage roustabout, or. As he is called
| in slang, rooster" is a strong black
| fellow, who has probably been slave
and has lit out from the country for
that supposed freedom and rpllickiug
life, which the boat hand enjoys so
muchly while his last trips wages
last. He soon becomes demoral liz ii
and corrupted by evil associations,
and after making trip on the river,
he scarcely ever performs any kind
of labor until necessity compcis him
to ship on another boat. He is well
fed both as to the quality and quIn
tity of food furnished hiin. 1t is well
coohel, and consists OF strong coffee,
boiled beans. fresh meat, hariiac&
ami soft bread. with the addition OF
good soap and "dui" for diuner
