Desjccating Garbage.

A company in New York city is endeavor-

garbage, with view to utilizing the vast
quantity of city refuse now dumped in the
sea from garbage scows The matter to be
treated is run through chute into one end of
a revolving cylindrical oven about sixty feet
long by ten or twelve feet in diameter. The
oven, which is strongly constructed of boiler
iron, is inclosed in brick furnace, one end
being higher than the other A fire in the
furnace keeps an equable heat in the oven,
and the latter is slowly revolved by steam
engine. The garbage or refuse enters at the
elevated end, is thoroughly stirred and dried
as it slowly travels from one end to the other
of the revolving oven, and energies from its
lower end desiccated and inolrensive.-

What Men Should Do Mt a Dance.

In the first place, man is invited to ball
in order that he may dance, and not to serve
the purpose of either a door post or a fire
screen. No man who has ever learned how
to dance will ever regret it, both because it is
most agreeable recreation in itself, and be-
cause it makes him a more useful member of
society. Few things impart SO much polish
to mans manners as the art of dancing and
it behooves him the more to become an expert
in it inasmuch as it is one of the very few ex-
ercises in which the gentler sex can join.
From the beginning to the end of dance a
man must never lose sight of the idea that he
is taking care of his partner. He must never
dance in such fashion as to make his partner
look misunderstanding her round the room
wildly, or making her in any way conspicu-
Gus He must not talk to other people who

best way to do tins is to pour boiling I've down
the pipes in sufficient quantity to eat away
and carry off all the accumulation of grease
which coats the interior of the pipe. Outside

A few drops of carbolic acid should be

Something New in Riding Habits.


l saw novel kind Of habit up at tha 1cbool
the other day. 1t was the most sensible and
comfortable Of anything have ever seen a
woman wear in riding. First, knee brooches,
buttoning close below the knee Then high
topped boots, also buttoned closely to the leg
over the breeches and above the knee. Over
all this was worn coat like coachman's
close-titting ulster, buttoned far enough
down to hide the figure only, and left free to
fall to the left foot, and fastened by
loops and buttons down the inside of the
left coat tail, to the inside Of the left leg. In
this way she was completely covered, and yet
as perfectly free as man would be in case
of accident l scarcely think this style of
habit will become popular, not for some time
at any rate. 1t exposes the figure too much
before the wearer is in the saddle, and most
of our ladies will wait until they are general
ly worn before they will have the courage to
adopt them. In the country, where one can
manage to escape observation, cannot think
of more convenient style of habit.-Bcston

An Awful Story.

There was once a little girl who had a way
Of saying lawful" to everything. She lived
in an awful house, in an awful street, in an
awful village which was an awfuldistance
from any other place. She went TO an awful
school, where she had an awful teacher, who
gave awful lessons out of awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that she ate an
awful amount of food, so that she looked aw-
full healthy. Her hat was awful small and her
feet were awful large. She went to an
awful church, and her minister was
an awful preacher. When she took an
awful walk she climbed awful hills, and
when she got awful tired she sat down under
an awful tree to rest herself In summer she
found the weather awful hot, and in winter
awful cold. When it didn't rain there was
awful drought and when the awful drought
was over there was an awful rain. So that
this awful girl was all the time in an awful
state, and if she don't get over saying lawful"
about everything l am afraid she will by and
by become an awful bore.

MAP2.

It will be seen that to a certain extent con-
sumption is least prevalent where malaria is
most so. Map shows the range of fatality
for malaria. Curiously enough, in Florida,
which is claimed to be the home of health,
malarial fever reaches the highest per cent.
of fatality, while consumption reaches Is
per 1000. This, however, may be partly
owing to the great number of invalids who
resort there annually. In Utah neither ma
laria nor consumption prevails to any extent
worth speaking Of But reference to n
third map DR.. Billings has prepared shows
that in just this locality pneumonia is espec-
tally virulent When it is not one thing it is
another.
There is one blessed spot in eastern ana
southern New Mexico which is infested with
neither consumption, malaria nor pneumonia.
Would you live long? Fly thither. That is
to say, il you are willing to dwell in the
midst of eternal desolation, rocks, sand and
mountains, where nothing grows but sage
shrubs, cactus and greasers. And probably
even there, if there were more people, the
percentage of diseases would be larger.
Deaths from pneumonia are much more
numerous among colored than among white
people.

A Glass Mountain.

One of the forthcoming reports of the geo.
logical survey will contain a paper by Pro-
fessor Joseph T. Iddings upon an obsidean
cliff in Yellowstone park This cliff is an
elevation half mile long by from $50
to zoo feet high, the material of which, Pro.
fessor Iddings says, ''is as good glass as any
artificially manufactured" Its colors and
structure make it not only highly interesting
to the visitor but furnish to tho scientific in
vestigator phenomena of importance The
cliff presents part of a section of surface
flow of obsidian, which poured down an
ancient slope from the plateau lying east 1t
is impossible to determine what the original
thickness of this flow was. The dense glass
which now forms its lower portion is from
Is to 100 feet thick, while the porous and
pumiceous upper portion has suffered from
ages of crosian and glacial action.
remarkable feature of tho cliff is the de-
velopmcnt of prismatic columns, which form
the southern extremity. These are of shining
black obsidian, rising from the talus slope,
and are from fifty to sixty feet in height.
with diameters varying from two to four
feet
The color Of the material of this cliff is for
the most part jet black, but much of it is mot
tied and streaked with bright brownish red
and various shades of brown, from dark to
light yellowish, purplish and olive green. The
brilliant luster of the rock and strong con-
trasts Of colors with the black are very strik
ing. In places the glass in the process of
cooling has been broken into small angular
pieces, which have been again cemented by
the later flow, producing many colored and
beautiful breccia. In some places the ma
terial shows fine satin lustre, while in others
a deep golden sheen is noticeable, which,
under the lens, resolves itself into thin beams
of red and yellow light. Through the black
and red glass are scattered dull blush gray
patches and bands, and round gray and pink
masses, the effect of which is to still further
vary the appearance and beauty of the rock,
and make it the most conspicuous and charac-
teristic variety of volcanic lava known.-New

Each neat little housekeeper weaves,
And there, amid delicate fern sprays,
Nestle the bright autumn leaves.

which ordinary American diseases are most

The maps are from sketches given in an
address by Dr. John s. Billings. Deaths in
this country are most common from con-
sumption, pneumonia and malarial fevers, 1t
is a curious fact. too, that forty years ago
the sickness now called malaria was unknown
There was the old-fashioned fever and ague,
