a WARNING.

The modes of Deaths approach are va
rieus, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tina. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed TO continue their raveges
they ext end to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
cstarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atteu-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.

1t may not be generally known thatghe
degree of tneness or coarseness to which
coffee is ground will materially affect the
character of the liquid but If any one
doubts the truth of it he can easily testdt
for himself. Let him make coffee by the
boiling process and use pllyerized coffee,
or By percolation with. a French pot) anG
use it coarsely ground, and see if he does
not in the former instance produce mud

to clear, and il the latter weak, fiat
liquid not deserving the naEso of beverage.
Coffee makers should distinctly bear in
mind the difference between the two
nethods-of making coffee and grind their
coffee accordingly, or order it from their
grocer, either ground coarse, or ''pulyer-
lied" They should not depend upon the
grocery clerk TO remember their usual
metkod, bns should order it 6istinctly
every time Many conscientious dealers
have been blamed for furnishing. linsatis-
factory coffee when the real faux Law in
the failure of;tle purchscer to understand

But it would he better fer the coffee to
be freshly ground as wantel. and this can
be easily done Is family ceffee mills are
now made which .palverize tie coffee per-

SODA LOCOMOTIVES.
Queer Motors for Use in the Streets of
City Where Steam is Forbidden.

! II.
At the Baldwin Locomotive Works
there are in course of construction four
locomotives which are designed to be run
by soda, which takes the place of fire
under the boiler Soda has much the
same power as coal without any of the
offensive gases which that fuel emits. The
engines are now nearly finished, and are
to be shipped within two weeks to Mime
apolis, Mimi, and are to be run on the
streets Of that city, where steam engines
are forbidden.
The engine has much the same appear
ance as passenger car. 1t is about ten
feet long, entirely boxed in, with no visible
smokestacks or pipes, as there is no ex-
haust or refuse. The boiler is of copper,
eighty-four and half inches in diameter
and fifteen feet long, having tubes running
through it, as in steam boilers. Inside the
boiler will be placed five tons of soda.
which, upon being dampened by Jet of
steam, produces an intense heat. When
the soda is thoroughly saturated, which
will occur in about six hours, the action
ceases, and then it is necessary to restore it
to its original state by forcing through the
boiler stream of superheated steam from
a stationary boiler, which drives the moist
ure entirely from the soda, shen it is
again ready for use. The exhaust steam
from the cylinders is used to saturate the
soda, and by this means all refuse is used.
These engines are the first of their kind
that have been built in this country, and
are being constructed under the super
vision of George Kuchler, a German
engineer. The engines will have about
the same power as those on the New York
elevated roads, and will readily draw four
light cars. Soda engines are now used in
Berlin and other European cities very
successfully, and they also traversed the
st. Gothard Tunnel, under the Alps
where steam engines cannot be used, be.
cause: the length Of the tunnel renders it
impossible to devise a system of ventila-
ton which will carry off the foul gases
generated by locomotive So overpow-
ering would these gases become that suf-
location would ensue.-Philadeiphia Record

Grape jam.

Pick 'tke grapes from the stems; put
them into porcelain-lined kettle; add
sufficient water, about a half pint, to pre-
vent -scorching cover and cook slowly for
about half hour; then press through a
sieve coarse enough to remove the seeds
if the sieve is too fine, it will prevent too
much of the skin from passing through it.
Measure this pulp, and to each pint allow
q half pint of granulated sugar; boil rap
idly for twenty minutes; skim. turn into
tumblers or jars. When cold fasten the
same as jelly. This is especially nice to
serve with roasted or braised meats. Green
grapes may be treated in the same man
