Grinding Material.

The finest OF emery cuts and leaves
minute scores in the metal, particularly
if the metal be soft; it is impossible to
produce a good, polishable surface on
silver with flour of emery; Furnishing
would be necessary to make surface,
and even then it would present stri-
ated appearance under reflected light.
Other grinding substances are required
for some fine surfacing work. Mould
ing sand, that has been used in the
foundry for some time, makes an excel
lent material for surfacing light brass
brass that contains large proportion
of zinc. Some excellent results are
gained by the .levigation of the sand
rubbing it under a muller on a stone
(marble) slab, as paints are ground for
sand may be reduced to an impalpable
powder, which. however, retains much
of its abrading quality.
There is manufacturer of fine tools
in an Eastern city who uses coal ashes
to give the last surface, before polish
ing, to his hardened steel tools. He
takes the ashes of Lehigh coal, pours
them into tub of water, stirs them up
violently, and, when the water is tur-
bid with the fine ashes held in suspen-
sion, he draws it of into shallow tank
and allows it to settle. The sediment
is his polishing powder. If higher de-
gree of fineness is required, the operation
or stirring. and washing. and settling
is repeated. The material thus obtained
makes an excellent surfacing material.
In the manufacture of silverwars

called grit 1t is found in several
localities, particularly in the Connect
cut River valley up to fifty miles from
It's mouth, in the vicinity OF Middletown
and Hartford. This clay appears to be
the substance of which blue slate is
formed. but is usually obtained in
semi liquid form, and is dried for use.
1t is not surface clay, being found be-
low the alluvium and sometimes below
gravel. its depth or thickness of bed
having been discovered, by boring for
artesian wells, to be in some places
more than sixty feet. Its identity with
slate substance appears to be suggested
by its behavior under heat, it assuming
stratified, porous form. 1t does not
scratch pure silver, nor copper, nor

DIR. Lancaster. of Gainesville. in
letter to the Medical Record. says that
many consumptives die in Florida, and
their physicians should be censured for
sending them away from home when
they are beyond all hope of recovery.
He believes, however, that many severe
cases are cured. and suggests that the
American Medical Association appoint
a commission of competent scientific
men to go to Florida and examine sys-
tsmatically into the facts.

Our Sleeping Rooms.

A physician of note says, 1--WE hear .
great talk about malaria nowadays,
but there is more malaria to be found
in most modern bedchambers than
anywhere else" Persons who are
moderately intelligent on other topics,
appear to have small thought. or that
verv perverted, on the subject of Hygiene
in their sleeping rooms, and especially
those occupied by children. The ven
tilation of bedchamber cannot be too
carefully attended to; and, as says Hor-
ace Mann, ''seeing the atmosphere is
forty miles deep all around the globe,
it is a useless piece of economy to
breathe it more than once" Yet nine
mothers out of ten will carefully close
all the windows, ''for fear of colds and
night air." and leave two or three
children to sleep in sitting atmos-
phere, and see no connection between
the colds and throat troubles
they have, and the vitiated air
she compels them to breathe
night after night. Let the morning air
and sunshine into the bedroom as soon
as possible after the occupants have
risen, and if there be no sunshine, and
it is not raining, let in the air. Do not
make up beds too soon after they are
vacated. You may get your house
tidied sooner, but it is neither clearly nor
healthful to snugly pack up bed cloth
ing until the exhalation of the sleepers'
bodies have been removed by exposure
to the air.
Look carefully after the wash-stand
and the various utensils belonging
thereto. The soap-dishes and the
toothbrush mugs cannot be kept too
scrupulously clean. All Stops and foul
water should be emptied very promptly.
Wash out and sun all pitchers, glasses,
and whatever vessels are used in the
sleeping room. Never allow water or
stale bouquets of flowers to stand for
days in the spare chamber after the
departure of guests. Towels that have
been used should be promptly removed,
and no soiled clothing allowed to hang
or accumulate about the room. Closets
opening into sleeping apartment are
often the receptacles of soiled clothes,
shoes, ETC., and become fruitful sources
of bad air. particularly where there are
small children. After such places the
housewife should look with a keen eye

them with an unsparing hand. / have

carriage had gone to meet him, but
Mary remained purposely out of the

him, as she would have done had his
absence been occasioned by any other
cause. But he had NO sooner taken his
place in The library than he sent for
her. He had been thinking about it all
the way down from London, and had in
some sort prepared his words. During
the next half-hour he did promise him

was to be altogether blank to him.
He would go. To that only he had
