AMindo,r thermometer.

Many people catch cold by leaving
their windows entirely open all night.
It may be warm when they go to bed,
but very cold toward morning. A man
in Iowa has invented an adjustment that
will be affected, like thermometer, by
the weather, and will cause the window
to rise or fall as the night grows hot or
cold. Chicago Journal

Tortoises as Pets.

We know of a tortoise, which, when
called aloud by its name, "Laideron,"
would run toward the voice. Another
learned to come when called by hiss
ing sound, followed its master like lit
tie dog, relished caresses bestowed on its
head and neck, gave gentle bites to show
its affection, and would climb up on its
masters boot, or pull at his clothes to
draw his attention. Revue Scientiique.

SMALLPOX in Enrone.

The deaths in Europe from smallpox
are said to be 10000 annually. The
mortality is almost wholly confined to
civilians, as owing to constant vaccina-

almost wholly free from the disease.

The Expensive Flour Barrel.

Flour barrels are source of great ex-
pense to the people of this country. Say
there are $4,000, 900 of barrels of flour
consumed in this country each year, and
say that there are $4,000, 900 of people
who buy it by the barrel, there might be
saved to the people of this country So,
400, 900, saying that 20 cents per barre
is saved by purchasing flour in sacks.
Really it may be little more than this,
especially so in the muslin sacks, the
muslin being valuable for further use.
There is more flour than this sold in bar
rels, but in the larger cities the bakers
sell the barrels for 20 and % cents APIECE,
which represents a loss of from 10 to 20
cents barrel-[The Milestone.

liz, on the Virginia side, attractive locations

tie city will have expended about 81, 900
