The NEWS WITHOUT Poison. - The
Neao York Observer claims to publish the
best family newspaper, and repudiates
all unsound or Objectionable teaching
Even its advertising columns are free
from all quackery and dangerous adver-
tisements; and the whole paper. both in
its religious and its secular department,
is filled with pure and entertaining read
ing. While we commend the position of
the Observer in this matter, we also
heartily endorse it as one of the NEST de-
sirable periodicals for any household
The price, 1918 year postpaid, can
hardly be made to return as much good,
spent in any other way. S. l. Prime &

Obituary.
DIED.-Of Diphtheria, in this city, Dec.
18th, 1876, ADA, only child of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Chapman; aged 7 years, 10
months, t nd 16 days.
Ada was a remarkably bright child, the
idol of the home, the hope and comfort
of her parents. She was sick just two
weeks and then her frail body, tortured
with pain by the dreadful disease, gave
out. For two or three days she knew she
must die, and frequently spoke of it to
her mother She said, II am going to be
Jesus little lamb" The day before she
died she called her mother to the bed side
and said, II am going to die and you will
bury me tomorrow, but it is all bright
mamma" She requested her weeping
father not to cry, for, she said, Il feel
much better now" Little Ada will be
missed, missed from the Sunday School,
missed by her teacher and playmates in
the day school, missed from her home,
how much no one can imagine much less
express.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman have the sym
pathy of the entire community in he loss
of their only child.

PREVENTING ESCAPE OF HEAT.

Experiments have been made in
France to ascertain what kind of coat
ing best prevents the escape of heat
from steam-pipes. After numerous
trials it was found that chopped straw
was the best, and that it reduced the
loss of heat by radiation from the
bare pipes sixty-slx per cent. The
next best way is pottery pipe large
enough to cover the steam-pipe and
leave an air space; the pottery was
coated on the outside with loamy
earth and chopped straw, kept in place
by straw bands twisted round the pipe.
This reduced the loss sixty-one per
cent. The next was cotton waste,
which, wrapped round the steam-pipe
to an inch thick, reduced the loss fifty
one per cent. The next was waste felt
from printing machines, under which
the reduction was forty-eight per
cent; and the lest was forty-five per
cent. with plaster made of cows hair
and clay. Experiments made with q
view to test the effect Of color showed
that the coatings when painted white
reduced the loss Il further seven per
cent.
