New Process of Eentilation.-A new
process of ventilation is now being
tried in st. Georges Hospital, London,
which promises to create an entire rev.
Olution in all the processes hitherto In
use. 1t is called the TObin system,
and goes solely upon the vertical prin-
ciple. Leaving the foul air TO escape
as it may through the fireplace, it in
trOduces into the room bulk of new
atmosphere. Instead of being let down
from above the cool air is introduced
from below, with the result of abolish
ing dangerous down draughts. Around
the walls of the room are eight semi
circular tlbes between three and four
feet in beiyht placed upright against
the wall, with th,Ir fiat side toward it..
These vertical tubes descend through
the floor, and are then continued hori-
zontally 10 the outside of the builLiDg.
The weight of the external air, being
greater than that of the iutel ior, forces
current through the HORIZONTAL and
up the vertical tube. and thus prOpels
a column of cool fresh air into the ward.
The steady pressure of the external
air sustains the column by continually
furnishing it with fresl. base. A col
umn or slice of air thus ascends clear
and sharp as a sword blade, until far
above the heads of the patients il
spreads gradually like fountain. and
scatters its spray of healthy oxygen.
When far al0ft it mixes with the gen.
eral atmosphere. ultimately finding its
way ont by the chimney. There is not
the slightest symptom of downward
draught. The new air is first distrib-
uted in the upper stratum of the rooms
atmosphere, and as cold air naturally
sinks, an extraordinary equable tenn
perature is produced.

feet apart with the corn, and two seeds

Cheap Cookery-We noticed, while
visiting large steel-making establish
ment recently, that the workmen at
noon ineeniOusly utilized the ingOts of
steel, which lay cooling in the yard, as
cooking stoves, and seemingly prepared
their dinners over the heated metal as
easily as over fire. The idea is good
one, and might be adopted with advan-
tage by the men in all metal working
concerns. We believe that the custom
is not common among the workmen in
this country. nor in the ironworks in
England, Though it owes its origin to
and ha- long been practised in tin melt
ing establishments of Cornwall. Ii is
considered quite civility there TO offer
a visitor chop nicely b oiled over Il
recently run lngot of tin. The big
hammer block, we were told as an es-
pecial wrinkle, is the best place to fry
things, a. il is smooth and usually just

warm. Ia winter time, a workman can
eeonomize consider bly,. aud at the same

Capabilities Of an Aere.-J. NJ. Smith,
q market gardener of Green Bay, fur
nisbes some interesting statements of
experiments in high culture. He has
found the rule invariable, not . single
exception 20 il, that the more he has
spent in cultivsting and manuring, the
greater have been the net profits per
acre. Last season he cultivllea four
teen acres, and began with more thor
ough and expensive cultivation than
ever before. The result was, that, al
though "terrific drought" !" one of the
dryest seasons ever known, in that re-
gion prevailed, after spending 50 1856, Or
1884 per acre, he had a better balance
than for any previous year.
He appears 10 regard constant culti-
walton, especially through drought, in
connection with copious manuring, as
all-important. - Stable manure is the
standard, with such use of suDerphos-
pilates, plaster, lime, ashes, and other
manures as experience and good sense
point out. AFTER you have learned
how to spend money TO the best advan-
tage," he remarks, "a larger profit may
be made by laying out $500 per acre
than with less.-After the second year,
If your land does not pay all its expen-
ses, taxes, and ten per cent on $1,000
per acre, there is something wrong
somewhere. | have some acres of land
that did not pay expenses for twoyears,
but for number OF years past have not
failed TO pay ten per cent. on at least
$4,000 per acre. 1 expect my whole
garden TO do more than that in q short
time.'
He adds that he is now aiming at
1000 bushels of onions per acre, then a
crop of carrots or turnips, or 500 BUSH
els of early potatoes; or, If strawber-
ries, u 800 quarts, or 400 bushels per
acre. This amount of strawberries is
not wholly impossible, as We have
known, under our own observation,

much to bind the Pacific to the Atlantic

more railroad subsidies, az do those OF

on this question, the success Of which is

existing in the Territory of Utah, ana
have asked for definite legislation to

The seventh message that Grant has
sent to Congress is worthy Of the most
earnest perusal and commendable regard
for everyone. 1t is one Of the most i'm
portant and sensible State documents
ever submitted to the American people
through their representatives., and is re-
plete with good advice and valuable
counsel. In the extract with which we
have headed this article the President
expresses just what the entire country
feels in relation to this beastly matter Of
polygamy. Like every other vice Nor
monism, or rather that portion of Nor
mon teachings relative TO lust, has an
indirect effect as well as a depreciation
of morality. This effect we see in our
own State and section; il is the indirect
influence Of the Wasatch air; il is breed

Grant says, though there is no law to
sustain this unnatural vice, what is needed
is a law to punish itas crime. Forgeneral
