The Iron Review does not approve Of
the practice of evaporating water upon
stoves or in furnaces for the purpose Of
moistening the air. 1.-THE trouble is,
most housekeepers maintain too high
temperature in the rooms; the air is un-
duly heated, and hence arises the intoler-
able sensation of dryness. This sensa-
ton can be, and often is, produced in
dwellings by high-pressure steam. Air
heated to so degrees or s. degrees pro-
duces very different physiological effects
from that of 10 degrees. A rise of
degrees or degrees in a room is noticed
by those who are accustomed to a uni
form temperature of 70 degrees or few
degrees below, and a sensation of uneasi-
ness is produced. The great advantage
of low pressure steam is that by its en-
ployment we are able to avoid high tenn
peratures. With a boiler pressure just
sufficient to drive the vapor through the
coils perfectly uniform heat is main
tanned. Once regulated it needs but lit
tie interference or care. The use of steam
or hot water imparts no moisture TO the
air of dwellings. -Philadelphia Record.

A Mighty Uncertain Game.

The Buffalo Courier tells am inter
esting draw-poker story, and insists
that it is true. The game was play
ed in Buffalo hotel by seven men.
One of the players had won 5000
and was about to jump the game
when he picked up a hand of four
kings and an ace. It was invincible,
because they were not playing
straight flushes. All came in, one
of them raising the ante SO. Mr..
-Four Kings just Clipped along, not
wishing to keep anybody out. The
others stayed, and all drew cards,
the kings throwing away his ace
and drawing one card rather than
spoil his chances of getting bets by
standing pat The man who had
made the $40 raise took two cards.
Then the betting began. All were
driven out except the man with the
four kings and the man who had
drawn two cards. They whacked
back and forth at one another until
at length having exhausted all his
chips and gone shy for many dol
lars, the man with the kings felt
that he had won all he wanted to,
and called. To his horror his oppo-
nent laid down four. The beaten
man howled and claimed fraud, for
how could the other man have four
aces when he himself had one be-
fore the draw The explanation
was simple. There being seven
players there were not cards enough
to go around after the first deal, and
SO the discards were shufiled up and
dealt for the draw. In the draw the
man who took two cards and was
drawing to. three aces got the ace
that the man with four kings had
discarded, and was thus able to beat
him out of his boots, This doesn't
happen often. 1t is legend in q
club in Buffalo that the same thing
did happen on Mississippi steam
boat in the good old days, and thai
a Louisiana planter who held thu
four kings lost his plantation to
man who had secured the discarded
ace.

Nothing Missed.

Some time ago n man was alarm
cd at night by hearing noises which
he thought indicated the approach
of burglars to his house He was
very quiet and nervous man. He
had never fired off a gun in his life,
but he kept one loaded for the pro-
lection of his house. He went down
stairs and opened the door, and,
hearing n noise, he thought he
would give an alarm. He fired the
gun at random, did not hear any
more noise, thought all was right,
and returned to bed. In the morn
ing it turned out that a person who
had just come into his grounds for
a perfectly innocent purpose had
been shot The unfortunate man
who had fired the gun was brought
up for for trial, and his explanation
was that he really did not know
there was anybody there; he did
not aim at anyone-he merely fired
for the sake of alarm, but had been
unfortunate enough to hit some
one; all of whom the council sum.

lord, the truth is this-this man

purpose of making tracings and of re-

given quantity of castor-oil in one, two
or three volumes of absolute alcohol, ac-
cording to the thickness of the paper,
and applying it by means of sponge.

and the tracing-paper u dry and ready
