the secret Of that cruel oil remedy
for madness, the circulating swing,
mentioned favorably by physicians
of the last century. This horrible
swing was small box fixed upon a
pivot, and worked by windass.
The ''infexibe" maniac, or the ma.
mac expecting a paroxysm, was
firmly strapped in sitting or re-
cumbent posture. The box was then
whirled around at the average ve,
locity of a hundred revolutions a
minute, and its beneficial effect was
supposed to be heightened by revere

minutes, and by stopping it OCCASION

The twelve jurors of Chicago who
found Sullivan not guilty on his trial
for the murder of Hanford, are being
made the subject of good deal of
attention on the part of the prosecu-
ting attorney. 1t is eharged-though
on what evidence does not appear
that three of them went on the jury
with an understanding between them
and some one for the defense that a
verdict of guilty should in no event
be returned. Several of the twelve
are to be presented to the grand
jury for perjury in that they swore
falsely, 80 it is alleged, with respect

The Blue Glass Theory Treated by
Prof. Chamberlain

Gen Pl9asanton's theories in roa-
ton to the action Of blue glass do
not merit the serious consideration
of any one. His experiments, how,
ever, are to be considered indepsn-
IDENTIFY OF his visionary theories. But
they deserve critical examination
before beng accepted The facts
that most OF those that are now ere
ating sensation were published
several years since aud that they do
not seem to have been in any mark
ed degree confirmed by subseque Mt
experience, Justify prudent doubt
as 10 their trustworthyness
Net it is fair subject for expert
mentation. The rays of the sun are
Of three kinds, the light rays, the
heat rays, and the chemical or ac-
tinic rays. Each Of these has its own
properties and peculiar effects. In
nature they come to us mingled and
produce the well-known bentfeeut
effects of sunlight. II is reasonable
enough theoretically TO suppose that
if the propositions Of these rays be
changed by artificial means, different
effects from those produced by or
binary sunlight might result and SO
far as mere che mlcal and physica eff
fects are concerned, experiment has
demonstrated that such is the fact.
But whether those effects would be
beneficial or otherwise to animal or
vegetable life can only be determIn-
ed by long continued and careful
trial. The experiments of scientists
have not been attended by the sem
sational results secured by General
PleasaDton.
The effect of blue glass is to inter-
cept most Of the light rays-aIl but
the blue and most of the heat rays,
while it allows large proportion of
the chemical rays to pass through, so
that the resulting blue light contains
proportionately more of the chemical
rays than ordinary sunlight does. 1t
is rational enough to experiment as
to the effects which this com hination
Of light will produce, but ghether
the present popular experiment will
bo tried in rational manner may be
more questionable. AT least it does
not bid fair to be characterized by
the pr0verbial scientific GOODNESS sup
posed to be essential to great dis,
covery. But it will doubtless do
much good. Ordinary sunlight is en-
hygienic agency of no small potency
and if the fractional ingredient of
blue light in General Pleasanton's
mixture will only lead TO the more
extensive use of Natures comb inG-
ton so much of good at least will re-
suit. - BeloH Free Press.

Beauty Of Home

The beauty Of home depends more
on education and refined taste than
upon mere wealth II there is no
artist in the house, it meters little
that there is large balance at the
bank. There is ususlly no better
excuse for barren home than ignor-
anoe or carlessness. A little me-
chanical skill can mG Ike brackets and
shelves for the VALE. A thoughtful
walk in the woods can gather leaves
and lichens aud ferns for adorning
the unpictured rooms. A trife saved
from daily expenses can now and
again put a now book upon the Ia

few shillings can convert The PLAIN
