It says: "One great corporation owns
nine-tenths OF the railroads On the

live only 10 increase their wealth.
They take no interest in any benev-

They offer a premium for the viola.

How Milk Should be Taken

Again, milk is a fJod that should
not be taken IN copious drsug hls Ike

from it chemically. il We consider
the.use OF milk in infancy, the PHYS

find that the sucking babe imhibes
little oy little the ustnrs! food pro-
vided for it. Each smali mouthIul is
secured by effort, and slowly presen-
ted to the gastric mucous surface for
the primal digestive stages. Il is
thus regularly and gradually reduced
to curd, and the stomach is not
oppressed with lump of hslf-coagu-
lated milk. The same rinciple
should be regarded in the case of the
adult. Milk should be slowly taken
in mouthful, at short intervals, spd
thus it is rightly dealt with bv The
gastric Juice. If milk be taken alter
other food, it is almost sure to burden
the stomach, and to cause discomfort
and prolonged indigestion. and this,
for the obvious reason that there is
insufficient digestive agency to ds-
pose OF 1t. Aud the better the quail.

discomfort will be under these con-

of new milk should be employed, and
more milk, or cream. should be added

Mining and Prospecting.

There is a vast difference between
mining and prospecting. Z gooC
| prospector is rarely ia good miner
and a first class miner, one who
understands all the details of bis busi-
ness, Is seldom if ever successful ia
finding 8 good mine. The former,
Without capital or assistance, plunges
into the mountains and there IN the
solitude of the wilderness, often ex-
posed to deadly and unexpected eau
geEs, patiently and diligently seeks
for such evidence OF mineral wealth
as nature 10 her great subterraneaD
lsoorstor} may have drawn 10 the
surface. II ne discovers, the miner
develops. He originates nothing; be
seeks tor gold and silver. which, like
truth, is always good whenever and
oy Whatever fneaEs discovered. But
mining Ie al art-we often think By
the lgnorsnce oisglsyeo--a lost err.
1t cannot be acquired In q month Or
year, foE as the astronomer and
scientist watches the heavens, and by
the direction and velocity of the |
wind, the aues and forms OF the :
clouds, tell when and where the cloud |
will burst. and the sunshine smile; so |
the experienced miner delves in the
depths OF the earth, studies the celor,
the formation, the texture OF the
stoue which surrounds him, and from
the testimony of the rocks" follows
their silent direction to unseen bon
anzas. Ia every country the matters
OF pTeclsive notwithstanding ores DIFF.
fers. The same rule will almost
universally apply to different districts.
and when this is considered, one mRy
easily imagine the great experience
required to estimate with any degree
OF correctness the probable richness
or extent OF ore bodies. The path
way over which he must pass to
reach his highest success is % yet
probemssical and full of uncertainty.
1t is study of lifetime, ia which
the application is hard, unremitting
physical labor, in which no man OF
ordinary mental faculties will ever
rise preeminent Our ables. mining

ful Gas Engine.

On Monday there was pu. in oper
alton at KIngsberry's foundry, corner
Third street and Broadway, a noise
less gas engine, which easily runs all
the machinery In the works, and the
cole motive power Of which is the ex.
| plosive compound made by tbs ut.
mosphere, combined with small
prop Jrtion Ct common coal gas. This
is the first engine OF the kind ever
put up 10 this city. although it is
learned that several more have been
ordered tor various industries.
Through tbe courtesy Of Mr.. Harry
E Clarke, superintendent OF the
gas company. Times reporter was
invited to visit the foundry, and was
shown the workings of the engine by
Mr.. Dibert, the gentIemsnly foreman
OF the es .sbishment. Although it
was already alter 6 O'Clock, and the
engine had stopped ranRing, it only
took moment TO again start it in
operation by simply turning On the
gas and touching H ma; ID to small
Jet no larger than the fame of q
cigar lighter. The machine immed-
lately started to work, with slight
wheeling sound and slight but not
Offensive odor, as of burning gas or
benzne IN q gas stove. There WAS
little or no heat peTceptible, except
that caused by the friction OF the
machinery. When running at it's
regular rats of speed the engine is
supposed TO use oEe-tentn of gas to
nine tenths of atmosphere, but at its
tull capacity il may nee three parts of
gas to seven parts or tentbs O! stmos
phere.
The sole principle involved Is the
explosive compound, made by the
combination OF coal and air in proper
proportions. The engine regulates
itself, and has only to be turned on to
run, until the machinery wears out.
As soon as it is stopped all expense
ceases, and the minute it is needed
sgain 1t is ready for action.
The piston vibrAtes in cylinder,
one end OF which is air-tignt. but so
that the fire or spark is
st the proper moment
to an sdmixture of atmosphere and
gas, which is admitted as the piston
reaches the proper point. The ad-
mixture exploding creates E vacuum.
and the piston ia pulled in with great |
force, and in almost the same man
ner Rs steam acts, can be thus forced |
in and out to The velocity Of $50 rev
olutions per minute.
No fuel. no hre, steam or water
power are required in this wonderful
machine It has been running every |
day since it started, at Kingsberry's
foundry, at an expense of 81 per
day.

President Arthur for this cause re.
moved him and appointed a young man
of standing, honesty, ability, named
Statham to succeed the delinquent
Postmaster. These sensitive Demo.
cratic Senators, " ho are always prating
about their extreme libeI Ialsm, saw in
Statham Readjuster, and hence their
opposition and strange to say they all
at once became the champion of Will
son, the delinquent Republican Post
master, and did all they could 10 retain
him in office, though he had proven him
self unworthy of it. No Senator in
Congress has been mere severe in de-
nunciation of dishonesty, if the dis
honest ones were Republicans, than
Senator Bayard he was never known
to condemn Democrat no matter hos
corrupt. But here is a case which
brings forth the whole power OF his
eloquence in defence of short-coming
Republican official, simply because the
appointment CT Statham would not
benefit the Democratic party. There is
no excuse made that he is dishonest
that he has not character or otllcia
ability, for he possesses all OF them,
but he is Readjuster. This is all the
objection urged against him. No"
what becomes of all the pretended
Democratic favor for civil service re-
form? 1t is only civil service reform
when it benefits the Democratic party,
and this is the view Senator Eayard
takes of it. His opposition to Statham,
simply because his appointment
would nof benefit the Bourbons of Nir-
ginia, is on a par with his action in
having the Jury system changed in The
United States District Courts, so that
now instead of choosing good response
