Painting Tin Roofs.

Tin on house top should be well
painted once in four years. For roofs,
light, cool colors are preferable, be.
cause they reflect the warm rays OF
light, and thereby lessen the expansion
and contraction of the metal and the
shrinking of tho boards underneath,
and SO lessen the liability of the tin to
crack in the seams. The temperature
of attic rooms in the summer will be
materially lower if the roof be painted
with light rather than with dark
color. The writer has learned from
long experience that the finest French
ochcr is the most economical pigment
that can be used for that purpose. If,
rs Is sometimes the case in country
houses, where the roof Is conspicuous
object in the architecture of the build
ing, a dark color be Indispensable, the
use of pure Venetian red darkened with
lampblack Is recommended as the most
durable and economical. II by some
process the oil used in roof painting
could be prevented from becoming hard
and brittle, it would be a great gain.
The poorest oil paint, however, 10
better than neglect; and the best econ.
omy consists in keeping tin entirely and
thoroughly protected from the cor.
roding influence of dampness. Old
paint, which has become fatty" from
exposure to the atmosphere, f. better
than new for roof painting. Not a
drop of turpentine should be used for
such work. The Metal Worker.

American Names.

II we knew nothing of the history o
America, If MI written history of thi
country were blotted out, we might b.
able to recover much of it from tn,
proper names of places that everywher,
tell of the nationality, of the character
and sometimes of the mental peculiari
ties of the European settlers. For in
stance we find in this continent name!
of English, Dutch, French, Spanish
Portuguese and Scandinavian origin
while all over the country are scattered
the Indian names that tell of the abor.
igines. If written history were lost We
might be able to infer, from the exist
ancc of name of particular nationali
ty, the presence of people of that nation
in that locality. Such is the case. The
Spanish names of cities and towns are
scattered along the Gulf coast, over
Mexico, and throughout all Central and
South America, where settlements were
made by the Spaniards. French name:
are found in South Carolina and Lou
isiana and all other localities where the
French established themselves. Dutch
names are found in New York and New
Jersey, Scandinavian names in New
Jersey and Greenland.
All through the country, however,
the Indian names still linger, and were
originally the names of features OF
natural scenery, such as rivers, noun
tains and lakes. The explanation of this
is simple and perfectly plain. The
names of towns in conquered country
are generally given by the conquerors,
who either build or overcome the armed
and fortified cities and rename them
after the capture. But when con-
quering army on its march comes to a
river or mountain it is much more
natural to give the name already as
signed to it by the natives than to re-.
name it, so these features of natural
scenery, as q rule, retain the names by
which they were known to the original
inhabitants. Mississippi, Missouri.
Iowa, Alabama, Tennessee, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Dakota, Chattahoochee, APP.
palachce and Appalachicola were all
originally the names of rivers or other
features of natural scenery, and have
since received secondary application,
their natural beauty of sound commend
ing them to the ears of those who
adopted them. Louis Giobc-Demo'

HOT DRINKS.
Why They Should Not he INDUCED In
How They IRE IIurtfuI.

Why They Should Not he INDUCED In
How They IRE IIurtfuI.
A correspondent of Knowlcdgc calls
attention to some of the dis advantages
of hot drinks. Cold drinks, he says,
are natural to man, though most people
nowadays are so used to not drinks that
they do not feel satisfaction, really
stimulation, unless they have them.
Hot drinks are injurious to the tongue,
for they dcadcn its sensation, and, after
taking hot soup or drink, the tongue
becomes quite numb, and unable to
taste the finer navors of dish. The
teeth are greatly injured by them, and
many dentists say CARES decay Is due
to them alone. They crack the enamel,
and thus allow carries to set in. When
carries has once set in, hot drinks arc q
common cause of neuralgia.
Hot drinks are especially hurtful to
the stomach. They cause irritation OF
the nerves of the stomach, and consc-
quent mild inflammation of that organ,
so that after hot drink the stomach Is
red and congestcd; in time dcbilitatcd
condition is set up. A temperature Of
100 degrees Fahrenheit also destroy,
the active fermcnt of the gastric juices
pepsin, and so leads to Indigestion. IL
the stomach is at all disordered, hot
drinks give rise to much gripping pain,
and i'm many cases to vomiting. In
cases of diarrhea, too, hot drinks only
increase it, while cold ones tend to less
on it.
Thirst is not common in winter, I'M
less sugary, salty or spiced foods have
been taken. In cold weather the air
contains more moisture than in hot, and
in cold weather there Is less perspira-
ton. Hot drinks increase the volume
of heat in the body, and IL that is not
required, it Is quickly got rid of by the
skin. Water is the best thirst-quench-
CIR, but II simple food be taken, the need
of drinks will be small. Many vegcta-
rians drink nothing from month to
month, the only fluid they get being the
juices of tho fruits which they eat. But
pleasant drinks like tea, coffee. etc.,
may be taken lukcwarm for long time
with little apparent damage. The least
injurious Is cocoa, made with milk, and
allowed TO stand until nearly cold. A
good test is to apply the little finger to
the drink. and II It be not hot to it, then
it may safely be taken. - Boston budget.

The Proposition Creates Quite Stir About
the City.
The resolution introduced in the Second
Branch of Council Tuesday night BY Mr.. s.
P. Hildreth, and which was unanimously
passed by that body, having for itS ultimate
object the annexation of the Panhandle
counties to PENNSYLVANIA, created quite q
stir in the city yesterday, and for time, at
least, was the general subject Of converse
ton among business men, city and county
officials, legislators, and about the hotels
and saloons. The preponderanee of public
sentiment was undoubtedly in favor Of the
scheme, but the opinoin was almost univer-
sal among citizens that the Legislature
would never consent to the cutting off Of
her richest territory.
Some Of the members of the Legislature
wers disposed to regard the raising of the
question as club wherewith to force the
passage Of what one Delegate termed "an
outrageous sun" for the repair Of the State
House, and when the question Of agreeing
to the item of $4,000 for that purpose in
the appropriation bill came up at the even
ing session the hospiGtY which bad previous
~ existed TO the measure was greatly inten-
SIZED from this fact. Several Delegates, in
the course Of conservation over the matter
expressed an entire willingness that the
Pan Handle should 60 whenever II wished,
and one or two hoped the matter would be
brought before the Legislature
In some quarters Of the city thsre was
great unauimity in favor Of casting our lot
with the Keystone State. and il was sug'
gested by some that mass meeting foe
Saturday next would be good thing IN
aid Of the plan.
