The Uses of Tar.

Professor Lunge draws attention to the
many advantages to be derived from the use
of tar in treating building material. Drain
pipes, roofing tiles, building stones, brick,
ETC., when soaked in bath of hot tar, be-
come absolutely water tight. The dead
black color thus impaired is by no means an
objection in many cases. The article should
be well dried and allowed to remain for some
time in the tar, which should be heated at
least to the boiling point of water, and
should also be first free from water and
volatile oils After all, why should we ever
have leaky roofs and damp cellarss 1t costs
little if any more to avoid them. By all
means let the bricks that are used in the
basement wall be made impervious to
moisture by soaking in tar, and then make
the cellar floor tight with asphalt. Why
worry ourselves with avoidable troubles?-

Mr.. Arno1d's Impressions of America.


Mr. Matthew Arnold recently gave some
impressions of America to an audience at
Bradford, England He told them that Sin
America all luxuries were dear, except oys-
tiers and ice; that American women have
natural, free and happy manner, in pleasing
contrast with that of middle class women in
England, who look to one class as the only
example of the right thing;' that American
buildings are commonplace; that the nomen-
clature comes on the ear of cultivated
person like the incessant cutting of pins;
but that the Americans do not persist rs we
do in making invidious distinctions between
persons by the use, for some, of the affix 'es-
quire,' term which came from the great
frippery shop of the middle ages"
In the end, however, Mr.. Arnold deter
mines to concliate, if possible, the people
among whom he lives. In the comparison of
America and England he, in the end, per-
mits the old country to kick the balance He
finds the gloriication of the average man
religion with American statesmen, the addic-
ton to the funny man national misfortune,
and the American newspaper an object of
reprobation. Americans will not admit that
their civilization is lacking in elevation and
interest Tall talk is their substitute for that
elevation which humanity craves.-Home

Advantages of Paper Doors,

The paper doors now coming into use are
claimed to possess the advantage over wood
of neither shrinking, swelling, cracking nor
warping. They are formed of two thick
paper boards, stamped and nodded into
panels, and glazed together with glue and
potash, and then rolled through heavy roll
ers. After being covered with waterproof
coating, and then one that is fireproof, they
are painted, vanished and hung in the
usual way.-Chicago Herald.

Linn County Coal.

While attention is being given to
the gold and silver mines of Linn
county, some efforts are also being
made to turn to practical use some
of the coal deposits which are
known to exist east of Albany.
Richard Watkins and some other
men from Lebanon spent a few
days last week at work on their
coal mine, nine miles from that
place. They brought out about 800
pounds of coal with them. Mr..
Watkins used some of it in his shop,
and it burned well. He exhibited
some irons he had welded together,
and he can do as good work with it,
seemingly, as any other. They say
they only went three feet into the
lead, and that it is about four feet
thick. Prospects are also very
favorable at the DOnaca and Hear
ing mine, 25 miles from Lebanon.
Some specimens of coal are pro
nounced by experts to be a fine
quality. 1t is only a question of
time when these coal deposits will
be developed and turned into a
industry.-Albany Herald.

between good, pure water and fine,
good keeping products.
Clearly, II the above is true, and
there is no doubt Of its truth, great
care should be exercised by dairy
men who supply milk for the
public, and by persons keeping COWS
for their own use, to prevent the
animals from drinking bad. water.
If the milk contains living organ
isms, why will not the butter made
from this impure milk contain the
same impure organisms? The
churning process is not sufficient to
kill the germs.

generally need waking up on all
these questions for we are consum-

democratic vigilance and sharp
