The bed itself is model of comfort and the
following devices have been adopted to rem

possible. When it is time to get up chime
OF bells ring. The occupant continues to
sleep. Suddenly candle is lit by a clever
mechanical arrangement. The sleeper rubs
his eyes and an invisible hand proceeds to
divest him of his nightcap. BY means Of
electricity spirit lamp with coffee-roasting
apparatus affixed next begins to burn. The
water soon boils and the smell of coffee fills
the room with o delicious fragrance. Luxur-
iously revealing in a crowd of agreeab bic SEN

American Locomotives.

The almost immovable prejudice Of
" John Bull is well known. He has an
almost pagan yeneration for the locomotive
as Stephenson made IL, and he cannot over
come his prejudice against American invon-
tions Some of the most important i'm
proyements, which may be found ON every
locomotive in the United States, and which
railroad companies here would not be with
out for any consideration, find no favor in
England. John Bull thinks that the lever
motion Of forty years ago is a model, and
lie cannot be induced to change 1t. He Is
no conservative that he does not recognize
any improvement, especially IL that improve
ment was originatedsin America. In this
country we build locomotives ON bogies OF
trucks. This makes them round curves
with greater ease. In England they still
build the rigid and straight locomotives,
which can DO used on English roads, but
cannot be used anywhere else There they
build the railroads TO suit the locomotives;
here VIC build the locomotives to suit the
tracks, and our locomotives are wanted
everywhere, and English locomotives are
wanted only In England Out there they
call American locomotives wicker basket
work" and mako fun of them, but our
wicker basket work " Is in universal de-
mand and gives more satisfaction than the
English model locomotives.
What had been said in regard to locomo-
tives Is equally true Of rolling stock, iron
bridges, etc. Most of the iron bridges at
present being put up in Canada, in South
America and in many English provinces are
the work Of firms In this country. The
English work is riyeted the American is
pin-connected The former takes as many
weeks 70 put up as the latter docs days, and
yet the latter Is far preferable. Americans
make bridges in workshops, and very little
time Is spent in putting them up. English.
men do most of the work ON the banks OF
the stream where the bridge is wanted, but
where they have not the steam riyeters and
other labor and time saving appliances to be
found in the shops. America Is rapidly get
ting to be the great iron working nation Of
the globe.

pack tho Lungs win AR.

Deep breathing and holding of the breath
is an item of importance. Persons Of weak
vitality find an uninterrupted succession Of
deep and rapid respiration so distressing
that they aro discouraged from persevering
in the exercise. Let such persons take into
the lungs as much air as they can at breath
and hold it as long as they can, and they
will find grateful sense Of relief in the
whole abdominal region. Practice win in
srease ability TO hold the breath and the CO.
pacity Of the lungs. After time the art
may be learned of packing the lungs. This
is done by taking and holding the long
breath and then forcing more air down the
trachea by swallows of air. The operation
may be described by that Of fish's mouth
in water To those who have never learned
it will be surprised to what extent the lungs
may be packed. Caution at first Ia needful,
but later practice will warrant large use of
the treatment The whole thoracic and alb
dominnl cavities will receive immediate
benefit, and continuance and temperance in
eating, good air and right exercise, will
bring Welcome improyement.

In New York Is now attracting SO much at
tention and money. l remember well
when she was little girl. I was her Sun
day school teacher. Together with her two
sisters, they came every Sunday to my class
and said their Sunday school lessons Then
they lived with their father ON Dey street,
In New York. Since that time many things
have happened, and am sorry to say that
! am afraid the principle and precept I tried
to impdrt did not hive much weight After
her marriage and she became wealthy she
forgot abe had two poor sisters, and weni
80 far as to refuse to speak to them. But
there il retributive justice in It all She
died withou. o will, and all her money goes
TO the poor sisters whom she refused to no
tice in her life. She was good Sunday
school scholar, but I am afraid tho lassons
she learned there did not impress themselves
on her mind il she refused to know her
sisters because they were poor and she was
rich"

The Dismal Life led by the Mexican
Herders.

We will suppose, by way of illustration,
that practical herder has been engaged to
run a flock and early in the morning, as the
first gray streaks of dawn appear in the
Eastern sky, he sallies forth to take charge
of his woolly flock, who are just beginning
TO awake and leave their bedding place. If
he IS a Mexican he looks extremely pictur-
esque in his bright blue jacket, with its
double row of silver buttons, which by the
way, are not for use, but solely for orna-
ment, for q Mexican never buttons his
jacket, else he would hide his gaudy calico
shirt. On his neither limbs are leggings of
leather or buckskin to protect his legs from
the sharp thorns through which he will be
forced to march. These are kept in place
by o crimson, orange or blue sash, over
which is bucl1led broad belt full of cart
ridges. On his head is the inevitable SOM
brero, with its ornamentation OF gold and
silver lace. II he is o sensible man his
serape will be tied over one shoulder and
under the opposite arm, and he will carry q
Winchester rife and a sharp butcher knife.
As the sheep begin to move of he saunters
slowly along behind them, keeping a shary
lookout for stragglers. Sheep do not travel
fast, but they keep moving. At about
meridian they will begin to feed baek toward
the bedding place. There the heIder will
eat his humble dinner of tortillas and chill,
washed down by draught Of water, if he is
fortunate enough to be in the vicinity of
spring or water hole. About shutdown the
sheep will reach their camp and begin to
select beds for the night. The herder has
rude shelter near by. He. builds himself
fire and cooks his tortillas. Possibly he
may have killed o quail or q jack rabbit
during the day. II 80 he makes savory
soup. Then he smokes his cigar and walks
around the flock to see that none are miss
ing. II all Is well he returns to his camp,
and, rolling himself in his serape, lies
down. He may have good nights sleep,
and he may not. A careful herder will be
aroused II o single sheep moves and will
Immediately rise up to see what is the mat
ter. II o beur or cougar or tiger cat ia lurk-
ing about he will hunt for the varnint and
either kill him or frighten him away. Above
all things, he must guard against a stam-
pede, for If the timid sheep once get start
cd there is no stopping them--the herd
would become scattered many would be
lost, and the herder would be charged up
with the missing sheep. Long before day.
light he is up, and by the time the sheep
begin to move he has cooked and eaten his
breakfast and 10 ready to take up the march
again. Imagine what o picnic man must
have who performs this dreary routine for
three hundred and sixty-fye days in the
year Sheep herding admits of no holidays,
and IL is all the same to the harder whether
II be Christians or the Fourth of July.

A very small newsboy stood at the corner
OF Superior and Clark streets, Chicago. I'm
der his arm was solitary and despatched
copy of the noon edition of the Daily Nesos.
Satisfied either by the plethoric condition
Of his pocket, caused by successful run Of
business, or by the warmth Of the sun, he
disdained to call his wares.
A rotund and austere officer of the North
Side Street Railway Company passed. He
stopped abruptly, approached the lounging
youngster and said; Ne,os, boy at the
same time slipping coin into the hand of
the urchin, who In turn dexterously deposit

wrinkled paper the boy sent dirty hand
into his trousers pocket and produced four
pennies and nickel, which he emptied
into the extended palm of the dignifed p,lr-
chaser. ks 4a5k
You should be more careful, SIR said
the rotund gentleman, CHANGING at the
change and then handing it back to the
youngster. :" gave you three-cent piece,
no. dime" 4
Not q muscle of the boys face moved.
The same dirty little hand went up to bis
mouth and returned with the three-cent
piece. Quick as q fash the coin had again
changed owners.
What's this for ?" gasped tho dignified
official.
Keep der money" replied the boy, with
wave of the dirty hand 81 likes ter re-

The dignifed gentleman blushed to the
roots Of his hair and stood for moment
gazing at the back Of the self possessed
urchin, who had turned on his heel and
sauntered away.
