1t is matter of common complaint
In business offices that large number
OF correspondents, many of them of the
most intelligent class, often neglect to
give the name of the State as we'll rs
the place from which their letters are
dated. Subscriptions to newspapers,
orders for goods, and many other com
munlcations are sent through the mails
III this incomplete form, and the receiv-
ers are neither able to fill the orders nor
to return the money for want of the
full address of the senders. Sometimes
letters calling for answers are posted
without even date; sometimes thoy have
dates, but the postoffices or States are
wanting. There are firms which number
cases of this kind by the thousand. 1t
does not always answer to take the
postmark on the envelope, even when
that is legible, for the regular postofice
OF the writer; because he may have
posted the letter at some other than his
regular postoffice, or in q postal car.

to give this information at the foot of

A Runaway TurntabIe.

A rather singular occurrence took
place recently at the Pittsburgh division
rOundhouse, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. A laborer was engaged in white
washing the pit, when it became neces-
sary to have the turntable moved. AL
though there Is an engineer in charge of
the little engine which runs the table.
the laborer thought to save time and
trouble by starting it up himself. He
turned on the steam and TIE table started
around, but when he attempted to stop
he made mistake and turned on all the
steam in the boiler. The table went
faster and faster until it made about
forty revolutions q minute, the white.
washer vainly attempting to stop it.
Workmen stood ON tho edge of the pit
and tried to shout to the laborer to turn
the little wheel in the other direction,
but for time the experimenter failed to
catch the idea. In the meantime an old
man who had been upon the table when
it started had thrown himself down and
was holding on to the railroad track for
dear life, thinking every minute that he
would be hurled off and ground up.
Fortunately nothing like that occurred.
The whitewasher finally got the right
idea. He began to reverse the wheel
and soon the table was brought to a
standstill with no casualties whatever.

The Human Roadway.

At the close Of one of the great re-
ligious festivals of the Moslem year q
number of Arabs are seen to detach
themselves from the crowd and to lie
down side by side in the dust, face down
ward, like logs upon "corduroy' road,
while their friends, crowding around
them, press down an arm here and there,
in order to make this living pavement
as compact as possible. When all is
ready the crowd falls back, while q
horseman coming up from behind
passes at aquick walk over the PROSTATE
bodies. This is called the Doseh, or
''trampling." Each man receives the
full pressure Of the iron-shod hoof
in the small Of his back, and not a few
may be seen to wrtithe under it like
trodden worms. The moment this
horrible pageant is over the friends and
relatives OF the trampled men rush up
to them and do their utmost to make it
appear that they have received no in
jury from the pressure. The odious
farce, however, is always unsuccessful.
the groans and writings of the sufferers
being q very sufficient evidence to the
contrary. The whole spectacle is re-
voIting in the extreme, but deserves at
tention as striking proof of the lengths
10 which superstition and fanaticism can
60. even in an age of highly developed
civilization.

Electrical Light.

There are different machines for pro-
ducing electric light, and to describe
them lntelllgenlly and accurately would
require much more space than can be
given to the subject here. Besides, to
make it at oil fairly understood many
pictorial illustrations would be neces-
sary. Only the simplest facts in rela-
ton to this matter can be given in this
article. 1t is generally known that IN
electrical current can be sent through O.
wire coil or circuit; that if such cir
cult is interrupted by cutting the wire,
and the ends of the severed wire are
brought near to each other, the electri-
cal current will leap across the gap, and
II the current is strong enough it will
cross 1t in glowing sparks. If combus-
tlble substance is placed in such o gap
it is inf1amed. A small platinum wire or
thread of carbon may be heated to glow
ing white heat. If two pieces of carbon
be attached to the ends of the severed
wire the electricity, as it passes from
one to the other, will strike off glowing
PARTICLES of carbon from the carbon on
tic positive end of the wire (that from
which the current leaps) to the carbon
on the negative end or pole (that to
which it leaps). A glowing arch of
sparks may fill the gap. If the ends of
the wire be united-inside of q hermcti
cally scaled glass globe-by u loop of
bamboo thread, burnt to charcoal, the
electrical current, in passing over the
carbon loop, will heat it to q luminous
white head. This is Edison's lamp.
Various means of generating the cleo
tricity have been discovered, but thew
cannot be explained here. .--ChicaGo

HOME AND FARM,

Veal Stew: Boil about two and o
half pounds Of the breast OF veal In wa
ter, just enough TO cover, for one hour
and half, edd dozen potatoes and
boil half an hour longer. Then add
pint OF rich milk, thicken and season and
pour over slices Of toast.--RtrGI NeaO
Yorker. .....
"A worm somewhat resembling the
true army worm has, says q Kentucky
exchange, done much damage to barley
crops in that State by cutting off the
stem just below the head aud letting the
grain fall to the ground. 1t is described
as being little darker and its locomo-
ton is different from the worm that ap-
pears in wheat.
Satin can be renovated in the same
way that velvet often is--that is, by
taking hot iron, placing wet cloth
over it, and holding the satin in The
steam, the wrong side nearer the heat.
Ot course, when the satin Is worn off
this does no good, but when 1t is crushed
or wrinkled the effect is surprisingly
good.-N. Y. Post.
Cabbage Fried with Cream: Chop
q quart of cold boiled cabbage, fry it
fifteen minutes with sufficient butter TO
prevent burning, season it highly with
pepper and salt, and stir into it half O
cupful of cream or of milk, with tea
spoonful Of flour mixed with it; let it
cook five minutes longer, and serve it
hot.--PTGirie Farmer.
"A Missouri farmer writes: AS soon
as 1 find an animal in distress from
bloat, from eating wet grass or clover,
/ wet 1t along the back with cold we'll
water, and also place a large cloth or
blanket Of several thicknesses over the
paunch, after being saturated with all
the cold water that it will absorb, and
over that a dry blanket. If the cold
water is properly applied, one will not
have to wait long for cure.
Melons and Squashes: Last year,
as q test, pinched the ends of the long
main shoots of the melons, squashes and
cucumbers, and left some to run at their
own sweet will. One squash plant sent
out a single stem reaching more than
forty feet, but did not bear any fruit.
Another plant was pinched until it
formed a compact mass of intermingling
side shoots eight feet square and it bore
sixteen squashes. The difference in
favor of the yield of an acre of melons
treated by this process may easily
amount to 100 barrels. ."-PracticaL
Farmer.
-Tapioca Pudding: One cup of
tapico, one quart of milk, four eggs, one
tablespoonful melted butter, and two
tablespoonful of sugar; nutmeg. Soak
the tapioca four hours in two cups of
cold water; it should absorb it all.
Warm the milk slightly, and soak the
tapioca in this an hour longer. Rub
butter and sugar to cream, and having
beaten the eggs very light, whip all
these together before putting in tapioca
and milk. Pour into buttered pud-
ding dish. CRATE little nutmeg on top,
and set in the oven. In five minutes
stir up. carefully from the bottom to
hinder the solid settling of the tapioca.
Shut the oven and bake until "set" and
nicely Drowned. Eat with pudding
sauce, or with sugar and butter, if you
send to table warm. tits good cold with
milk and sugar.-THe Household.
