An sleeping-rooms thoroughly every
morning and, if possible, let in the sun to
shine on the beds and bedclothes. Often
at night, when the night is well-nigh un.
bearable, wet cloth hung in the window
over the blind will cool the room as if q
shower had fallen, and every one knows
how water poured on the pavement in front
of the door will refresh the hot, dry air.
This principle of the reduction of tempera-
ture by evaporation is capable of much
practical application. In India and other
tropical countries, where ice is almost un.
known, the natives cool their drinking.
water by suspending earthen jars filled with
it in brisk current. of air, which process is
said to cool it thoroughly and rapidly. So,
also, when ice is unattainable, butter may
be kept firm and sweet by setting the bowl
containing it in shallow Vessel of water
and covering it with napkin, the ends of
which are well immersed in the water in
the bottom dish. A wet handkerchief or

The nickel-seat rop safety valve is pro
nounced by Victor Novelty one of the mos.
curious contrivanceu in modern engineering
mechanisms. The seat, which is made Of
nickel, is said to be as hard as steel and as
unoxidizable as gold, so that all corrosien
Is prevented. But the popularity of this
safety valve consists in its having hollow
semicircular ring on the conical part. The
lower seat of the valve has correspond.
ing annulus at the top, which is however,
somewhat larger than the one ON the valve
proper when the valve drops into its seat,
these annuH fit into each other. II the
valve ls lifted to slight extent, the steam
Is momentarily arrested in this space thus
producing a greater pressure and lifting
the valve to greater height-a great ad-
vantage, especially in case of sudden
production Of quantities of steam. In ad-
diton to this, the face Of the valve is thus
reduced greatly, and more efficient pack
ing is possible. The valve is kept on its
seat by spiral spring of square section,
aid can only be raised easily with the
hand by means Of lever. Thus, in all re.
spects, the adoption of this curious con.
trlvance to the purpose in viev is admir-.
able.
The improved Gattling gun can fire I, 600
shots per minute, and one man can feed and
fire COO shots per minute. In an official
trial Cd, 900 rounds were fred from single
gun in rapid succession, and without stop
ping 10 clean tho barrels.

1'aI. uAksV sSaOwN TO VISITORS

1t is an odd fact, no baby ever did, an
no baby ever wiz, behave in company
The mothernlways brings it into the par
lor where the visitor il; dressed in it's cisa,
dress, and its fatb A andits aunt come i,
smiling at the same time. After the visito
had kissed the baby and taken it on herlap
and declared it is the dearest little thin,
she ever saw, the baby's mother and sh,
begin to talk. Each talks about her owl
baby as fast as she can nttle, and botl
talk at once, apparently without caring
what the other is saying. In the
midst of the conversation the baby ''throw4
up" on the visitor's Dress and is suddenly
handed.to it's mothsr.
The visitor smiles sickly smile and says
it makes no difference, but she is mad.
The conversation is resumed, but presently
the father winks furiously at the mother
and frowns, and clears his throat and makes
mysterious signals at the side of the chair
with his hand. The mother looks down
and perceives that some of the undergar.
ments are slipping of, and she snatches up
the infant and flies from the room. When
she returns the child cries to 20 to its
fatnSr; and no sooner is it settled on his
his knee than it betrays an irresistible
yearning to 60 to its aunt, after which it
cries furiously because its mother. won't
take it.
Then the aunt gets piece Of candy to|
quiet it, and when its hands have acquired
sufficient sickness, it reaches over and
mauls the visitors bonnet. Then its |
mother tries to show off its accomplish
ments; but it utterly refuses to make dis
play; it is as stupid as an owl. It won't
say mamma" or "papa," andit won't Stow
how big it is. Its father tries to coax it to
say papa" hut it pays no attention to him.
He tries again and again, getting madder all
The time and dreadfully afraid the visitor
will think the childis dull
At last he grabs the child by the arm and
shakes it, and yells "why don't you say
papa as I tell your Then the child /
screams like backyard full of cats. The
more the mother soothes it the louder il
'ets until at last the father eyclaims, "Gi'
ne that brat!" and picks it up and dashes
ut of the room and is heard spanking it
the entry. Then the visitor goes home {
ooking at her dress and deciding that the
nd of that infant will he the sallows, if its !
characteristics are allowed , develop fully =
s it grows up.

PRESERVE THE EYESlCHT.

Che eyesight may be injured by various
causes-insuficient sleep, severe study
writing and reading by gasight, reading in
bed, painting the eyelids, ill-health. We
see the fires of alcohol in the eyes as well as
on the nose of the drunkard. All kinds Of
excesses are sure to be reflected in that deli.
cate and sensitive organ, the eye. No per.
son can violate the physical laws and escape
the penalty. Nature is thoroughly demo-
cratic, and serves all people alike. If the
king gets drunk, he will have redness of
eyes, notwithstanding the royal blood in his
veins. If the beggar keeps good hours and
obeys the physical laws, she will have clea,
and handsome eyes, brighter than the dia-
monds flashing in the queens coronet. 1t
is q physiological fact that plain food,
abundant rest, and cheerful temper, arc
the principal aids in the staff of health, ana
that good health insures good eyesight, ex.
eept in the cases Of some hereditary defect.
