The latest novelty is a device for
heating buildings and cars without fire,
and it looks as if the apparent para
doX might be entirely practical. The
principle employed is friction. The
machine consists only of an iron cylln-
der, two feet long and one foot in d.
ameter, having fixed plate of hard
ened iron in one end, and a second
plate, attached TO a revolving shaft,
which passes lightly or closely upon
the fixed plate, as circumstances re-
quire. The cylinder is filled with
water, the shalt revolves, and from the
friction of the plates the water. is an
incredibly short time, is heated, and
by means of steam pipes can be carried
TO great distances for heating purposes.
In railway cars the machine is easily
and cheaply adjusted to the axles, the
the power being taken directly from
the wheels, one obvious advantage
being the absence of danger from fire.
Ii is claimed that the power required
IS so slight as to be almost inconsider-
able Thus, to carry u machine with

story of the jacquard Loom.

a great improvement had been effect
ed in the weaving of silk by native of
Lyons, named Joseph Marie jacquard.
This poor artisan was born and bred
silk weaver, but had also been book
binder and type founder and cutter,
before his eye lighted on a paragraph
in an English newspaper stating that
the Society of Arts had offered a re-
ward to any one who should invent
machine for weaving nets. Induced TO
try his mechanical skill jacquard in
1902 constructed q loom that effected
the purpose, but thinking little of his
invention he laid it aside and the origi-
nal machine wss either lost or destroy
ed. But by some means or other the
net he had made found Its way to
Paris, and when he had almost forgot
ten the piece of mechanism jacquard
10 his surprise, was one day summoned
into the presence of the prefect of the
department, who, after questioning
him about the invention, and discover
ing that it could not be found, per-
emptOrily ordered him to mske an other.
After the expiration OF three weeks
jacquard returned with the machine,
and Il few weeks subsequently he was
arrested and sent 10 Paris in charge of
gendarmes. There he was introduced to
Bonaparte and Garnet, the latter salu-
ting him with the query, care you the
man who pretends to do what God AL
mighty cannot do-tie q knot in a
stretched stringy" jacquard replied
that he could only do what God had
taught him TO do, and proceeded 10 ex-
plain the working of his machine. The
Emperor rewarded the inventor with
a pension of one thousand crowns, and
gave him employment in the Conserva-
toire des arts, and made strenuous et-
forts to get the jacquard loom adopted,
but this was task that almost over
taxed his power, and in which he only
partially succeeded. The invention
encountered great hostility In France,
and especially in Lyons, where the
Consel des Prud'hommes broke 1t to
bits in one of the public squares and
denounced Jacquard as a man worthy
of universal lgnominy. 1t was In st.
Etienne, the chief rival OF Lyons in
silk manufactures, that the jacquard
loom was first generally adopted, and
when the inventor died in 1884 few of
the fruits of his discovery were visible.

To An Our Friends.

Having had numberleSs inquiries for

parts of the country who are Interest

''Card Collections" we are having
printed for them set of seven beautl-
ful cards, each in six c0lors and on
gold background, in the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's

no expense in these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
hrs been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications for them have
come In so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by us OF the cards from the

to adopt the following plan for the dis

the receipt of statement from grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap.

ing in this manner eIH receive the full
set OF seven cards gratis by mail. This
will insure US that our friends ana
patrons get their share or these beauti-
ful designs, although it in no manner
repays US for the cost OF the cards.
Your grocer has the soap or will get it.
and the purchase by you of seven bars
of it at one time will secure for you
gratis seven really beautiful cards. The
soap improves with age, and Is an
article of necessity in your house every
week. Therefore you are not asked TO
buy a useless article, but one that y on
must have anyway. Please send us
your applications at once, and tell youl
lady friends making card Coilec'

have the cards to deliver. Buy the

If you place few drops OF strong
tea upon a piece ofiron, knife blade,
for instance, the tannate OF iron is
formed, which is black. If you mix
tea with iron filings, or pulverized
iron, you can make fair article of ink.
If you mix it with fresh human blood,
it forms with the Iron of the blood the
tannate OF iron. Take human skin and
let it soak for a time in strong tea,
aud it will become leather. Now,
when we remember that the liquids
which enter the stomach are rapidly
absorbed by the yenous absOrbents OF
the stomach, and enter into the circul-
alton and thrown out OF the system by
the skin, lungs, and kidneys, it is PROP
able chat a drink so common as tea,
and so abundanIly used, will have some
effect. Can il be possible that tsnnin,
introduced with SO much liquid pro-
ducing respiration, will have no effect
upon the skin? Look al the tea
drinkers of Russia, the Chinese, and
The old women of America, who have
SO long continued the habit of drink
ing strong tea. Are they not dark
coiored and leather-sklnned?

AN IMPORTED GLUE DRESSING FOR
Cabinet makers and wood
workers generally are familiar with
the uses of glue in dressing tool cuts
ard other slight wounds incident 10
their calling. The glue pot is always
handy in their shops, and a glued rag
answers as well as the best adhesive
plaster. In a recent paper before the
Philadelphia Academy of Surgery,
DR.. HewsOn recommends the addition
of acetic acid to the glue, and little
after OF roses to cover the odor of the
glue and the acid. This compound
spread on paper or muslin makes, he
SAYS, good substitute for adhesive
plaster Tor surgical use. 1t is easily
and quickly prepared simply by put
ting into a vessel of boiling water
bottle containing one part OF glue to
four, by measure, OF the acid, and Jet
ting the bottle remain in this bath I'M
eli the glue is fully dissolved and mix
ed with the acid. Common glue may
be used and officinal acetic acid, to be
had at any drug store. The mixture
should be kept in wide-mOuthed bot
tie, well stOppered by a long cork,
which can always be removed by heat
ing ,he Eeck OF the bottle. Care should
be taken TO keep the mouth of the bot
tie clean by wiping il well with a
cloth dipped in hot water. A bottle
OF this cheap and easily prepared dress
ing would be gCod lining 10 Rave al

your handkerchief and wipe your
nose with il whenever needed. Your
nose will not get sore, and you wil

FRNcEs.-The question OF fences Is
and has been for few year past, a
topic for considerable thought aud dis
cussion. 1t is tact there are too ma
nv fences-many more than can be
profitably kept up. and all places where
fence can be dispensed with, 1T should
be done. Now that such farm work is
done by machinery, fields should be as
large as they well can be, because work
can be done so much easier in large
field than in a small one, where large
part of the time is taken up in turning
around. This cutting up lots into
small fields is very poor management,
TO say the least. have seen a farmer
run a stump fence directly through the
middle OF a four acre field, thus spoil
ing the looks of it, as well as causing
IL uch extra labor In the cultivation OF
