Unless you have hired help whom
you can trust implicitly, it is a good
idea to use esrthen dishes for milk in
place of tin; they are kept clean with
much less trouble. The scientists of

germs of disease hide in the crevices of
a milk-pan, and that nothing but con-
sc'entious application of absolutely
boiling water will remove the danger.

A U UNIVERSAL Language.

When the electric telegraph was first
proposed to the Government it was re-
iected for the exhaustive" reason that
it would not be wanted in time of peace,
while the semaphore did all that was
required in time of war. Since then,
however, the electric telegraph has
itself been found insufficient In time
of war the electric telegraph is supple
mented by tire-signals, lamp-signals,
and by a very elaborate system of flag
signaling; and the want seems to be felt,
since expression has been given to it in
many quarters, of an international or
interlinguistic code of signs for for
eigners unable to communicate with one
another by word of mouth. In an in
teresting contribution to the National
ReUiew on the wild tribes of the Sierras,
Miss Gordon Cummings tells us-frst
that every tribe has language of its
own, known only to its members; and
next, that ''the curse of Babel would
weigh heavily on the great Indian ma
ton were it not for silent language OF
signs which is used by all alike. 1t is
frequently used even in family parties,
or while on the march, or on hunting
expeditions, or at other times when 81
lence is deemed desirable. 1t is quite
as clear as the methods of communica-
ton used in deaf aud dumb asylums,
and more ''rapid, as certain signs are
used to express whole phrases and
symbolical ideas White men who
have become intimate with the Indians
say that if stranger could steal una
wares near an Indian camp he Knight
well marvel at the occasional bursts of
laughter while not a voice was to be
heard; yet every individual gathered
round the campfire is all the while
drinking in some very interesting story
related by one of their number in the
sign language. Now this is just the
sort of sign-language that is wanted for
universal use. St James Gazette.

Railroad Etiquette.

Do not rush in and grab the first seat
you see. Enter leisurely and quietly as
you would if the parlor were not on
wheels. Bow pleasantly to the porter
and give him quarter.
Be not over particular about seats, as
it will indicate that you do not travel
often. Say languidly: "Oh, anywhere
on the shady side, and hand the porter
half dollar. He will give you a good
seat, depend upon it.
Unless an experienced traveller, the
disposition of your extra wraps, bag
gage, ETC., may bother you if you at
tempt to do it yourself, besides exhibit
ing your ignorance to whole carload.
Nod at the porter in a familiar sort OF
way, slip dollar into his hand, and in
a jify he will have everything out OF
your reach and securely fastened on, in
and among all sorts of contrivances
which you had not even observed.
If you are so unfortunate as to need
the presence of a cuspador do not go
hunting around the car for one. That
is exceedingly vulgar. Contrive to drop
a two-dollar bill into the porter's pocket
and the cuspador will be forthcoming.
In all probability the car will be as
hot as an equatorial conservatory 1t
generally is. If you attempt to lift a
window the chances are that you will
fail, as you are not familiar with the
secret spring which holds it. Recline
lazily on your chair and watch the por-
ter until you catch his eye, when. with
a slight movement of your little finger,
you can make your wants known. En-
force the sign with a rapid flight of a
tive-dollar bill from your pocket to his,
and in few seconds you will be enjoy
ing delightful breeze free from dust
and cinders.
Should you become thirsty you can go
to the water-cooler and take little with
out extra charge.
When nearing your journeys end the
porter will kindly remind you of that
fact, and stand before you brush in
hand. Accompany him to an alcove
and add few bills to his purse, if ne
can find room for them. The vigor of
the brushing you receive will depend
entirely on the denomination of the
bills.
1t is no longer considered necessary
to back out of a parlor-car in order not
to offend the porter. Hand him your
pocket-book and be will Immediately
take your baggage and precede you to
the platform, and most likely will bow
politely as the train moves of.-PhilG-
deIpkiG Call.

Where Water Is as Precious as Gold.

Flagstaff a year ago was an unre-
deemed Inferno; now it is for the most
part quiet and of good repute. 1t owes
its permanency to the timber business.
From Northwestern Arizona down to the
southeast into Western New Mexico
stretches vast belt of magnificent pine
forest. Here the belt is cut by the rail-
road just under the shadow of the San
Francisco Mountains. The trees are of
extraordinary height, straight and huge
in their proportions. Between them
there is no undergrowth-all is clear
and open. Here and there the openings
widen out into beautiful natural parks,
clothed with rich growth of grass. No
finer cattle country could be imagined,
save for the lack of water.
Water is almost literally as precious
as gold. Men go out prospecting for
springs just as the miner searches for
groupings of ore. He who secures a
spring can control thousands of acres
of land. But the springs are few. often
small, and not always trustworthy.
The Little Antelope Spring, which sup
plies the cluster of cabins hard by,
sometimes runs dry. Then water is
hauled in barrels for miles and sold like
any other commodity. The saw-mill,
which runs out hundred thousand
feet of lumber day to supply con-
tract of 81, 00o,0 feet for the Mexican
Central Railway, is run by steam pow
er. Yet for this it is necessary to pump
the water in pipes from springs nine
miles away. At Winslow the railroad
company sunk an artesian well LOO
feet and struck salt water. At Ash
Fork they sunk another well, which
proved failure.
From the line of New Mexico the rail-
road runs for many miles through the
barren valley of the Rio Puerco The
river-bed is broad, but the stream itself
is only a scanty riyulet. Yet when
there comes one of the sudden, fierce
thunder-storms peculiar to this region
the plains are Hooded, and in an hour
the river becomes raging torrent. /
have seen this happen again and again,
for it is the rainy season now; but in a
few hours the water disappears, the tor
rents plunge into underground water
courses, and the sands are parched as
before. It has been suggested that
huge stone tanks be constructed to hold
the water instead of permitting it to
flow off at once. The suggestion seems
a good one. Artesian wells have never
obtained much success in the Western
country, and the water problem re-
mains one of vital importance. Cor.

Tissandier's Electric Balloon.

M. CASTOR Tissand;er and his brother
Albert have constructed balloon with
an electrical propeller, consisting of tho
balloon proper, the gas generator and
the electromotiye apparatus driven by
battery of "a bichromate cells. The
balloon is cigar-shaped, % meters long
and 800 meters in diameter. Its vol
ume is 1000. cubic meters, and an auto
matte valve is provided The car is
constructed of bamboo and suspended
by ribands. The balloon was filled on
October 5 in seven hours by four hydro
gen generators, iberating pure gas by
the decomposition of water in presence
of iron and sulphuric acid. The gas
was purified by caustic soda and cal
cined chloride of lime. The pure gas
thus obtained gave an ascenslonal force
of /, 180 grammes weight per cube
meter of gas, higher result than has
hitherto been obtained The electric
balloon, with its motor able to act three
hours, weighs 704 kilogrammes. To
this the weight of two persons has to be
added, say 386 killogIammes for NJ.
Tissandier and his brother. On Octo-
Der s, abont $500 D.. M, these gentle
men assembled from their workshop at
Auteuil, in feeble east-south- east
wind. At the earth the wind was al
most nil, but at height of 800 meters
the wind obtained yeloc ty of three
meters per second. The electric APP
paratus allowed of four speeds of the
propeller, from 60 to 18) turns per min
ute, and the aeronauts proved that they
could outspeed and breast the W nd. rs
well as steer the balloon in it. They
descended an hour later near Croissy-
sur-Seine, well satisfied with their pre-
liminarY essav.-Enqifs sef9ng,

The Prince Of Naples.

All boys and girls who have read re-
cent Italian history are familiar with
the name of Victor Emmanuel, who unit.
ed the various States of Italy into one
kingdom. As the Italians had long
been hoping and praying for this union,
they naturally regarded Victor Emman-
uel as the savior Of their country, and
were much grieved when he died, in
1873. His son Humbert succeeded him
on the throne, and he in time viii be
followed by his only son, the Prince of
Naples, this title corresponding in
Italy to the title of Prince Of Wales in
England
The little Prince bears his grand
fathers name, Victor Emmanuel, and
was born November II, 1869, in Naples,
probably the most beautiful city of the
whole world.
The young Prince spends his winters
IN Rome, and may be often seen driving
on the Corso, the main street of the
city. Were 1t not for the bright scarlet
livery of the coachman. a stranger
would not notice particularly the neatly
and quietly-dressed boy, driving with a
middle-aged gentleman. But the Ro-
mans all know and love the bovish face,
raising their hats politely as the car
riage passes, while the Pr.iacipino lit
tie Prince), as they call him, gracefully
bows in acknowledgment of their
courtesy.
AT rare intervals he is seen driving
with his mother, the beautiful and be-
loved Queen Margaret; but he is usual
ly accompanied by his private tutor, a
cultured and educated man, whose
chief thought is to interest his young
| charge and improve his mind. They
often drive by in earnest conversation,
the Prince evidently asking questions
about something he has seen in passing,
and the tutor giving him all the in
formation in his power. am sure this
gentleman is fully sensible of the great
responsibility resting upon him, fol
upon him more than any other man de-
ponds the character of the next King OF
Italy, who will have grave matters to
decide and momentous questions to set
tie. Judging from his face, feel equal
ly sure that the Principino himself
thinks seriously of the importance Of
improving the present, in order that he
may know how to rule his people with
judgment and wisdom.
| give the following incident as it wa;
related to me by the personal friend Of
an English peeress who was in the hab-
it of attending the court receptions
She was at a private reception of the
Queen, when the Principino came into
the room and gave her kiss of greet
ing. His mother told him it was rude
not to ask permission to kiss lady
The boy replied, archly: "Ah, mother
English ladies like to be kissed'
