Using Second Hand Tin Cans.

Economy may be the secret of wealth,
but there are cases where it does not pay
to economic too closely. A method is in
use, and has been recently patented, of
using again old tin a n from which peas,
lobster, salmon and other edibles have
been removed. The practice may prove n
pernicious one, and the cans should be
~relegated to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food
At best. cans are never preserved. afte..
the food has beer removed, in "A very
clean condition, to say the least. and the
acid contained in the food often causes
poisonous compounds. when combined
with oxygen of the atmosphere.
The old cans are, it is stated, collected
in the ''revamping" establishment, the
damaged top removed, and the cans
thoroughly cleansed. If this statement
be true, there may be no objection from a
sanitary point of view, but it is doubtful
if cans can be leaned short of removing
the entire coating of more or less oxidized
tin coating with which they are covered,
thus leaving some of the poisonous mat
ter to contaminate the next food placed
in the can.
After cleansing, the old bottom is
punched to serve as n new top. and n new
bottom soldered on from the inside,
through the punched hole. 1t might be
well for purchasers of canned goods to cz-
anime the construction of cans when
purchasing, and promptly reject all goods
likely to be in cases or cans that are
secondhand. boston Budget.

Progresslon in Car Brakes.

Every year has shown progress in per
fecting the comforts and safety of the
railway car. In 1S49 the Hodge hand
brake was introduced, and in 1851 the
Stevens brake. These enabled the cars
to be controlled in a manner which added
much to the economy and safety in hand
ling the trains. In 1869 George Westing-
house patented his air brake, by which
power from the engine was transmitted
by compressed air carried through hose
and acting upon the brakes of each car
in the train. 1t was under the control of
the engineer. and its action was so prompt
and it's power so effectual that a train
could be stopped in an incredibly short
time, and the brake released in an in
slant. In 1871 the vacuum brake was de-
vised, by means of which the power was
applied to the brakes by ~exhalsting the
A difficulty under which railways suf-
fered for many years was the method of
coupling cars. The ordinary means con
sisted of coupling pins inserted into links
attached to the cars. There was n great
deal Of slack" the jerking OF the train
in consequence was very Objectionable,
and the distance between the platforms
of the cars made the crossing of them
dangerous. In collisions one platform
was likely to rise above that of the ad-
joining car, and ''telescoping'' was not an
occurrence.
The means of warning passengers
against standing or the platforms were
characteristic of the dangers which
threatened, and were often ingenious in
the devices for attracting attention. On a
New Jersey road there was painted on the
car door a picture of a new made grave,
with a formidable tombstone, on which
was an inscription announcing to a ter
rified public that it was Sacred to the
memory of the man who had stood on a
platform. "-Scribner's Monthly.

bicycles for Enrr,sh Soldier.

The bicycle force that has been organ
lied in connection with the English vol
unteers recently had its second field ma
neuvers, the first having been held at
Easter. Rainy and disagreeable weather
embarrassed the troops on each of these
dates. but the result of the turnou6 mas
been very satisfactory. On the recent
trials the men covered about 100 miles in
forty-eight hours, fighting, scouting and
camping by the way. There were seven
teen officers and seventy-seven men out,
made up of representatives of a number
of the leading volunteer regiments.
The force was divided into two bodies,
one retreating and the other following it.
At frequent intervals the retreating force
made stands at bridges and other eligible
points of defense. and the pursuers were
compelled to halt. dismount, send out a
skirmish line and perform all the other
prelimlnaries of attack, as though in
active war. 1t was found that two or
three men left behind by the retreating
body could mako a show of force at a
bridge that would greatly delay the ad-
vance of a pursuing force. and then could
mount and swiftly ride away under cover
of a hedge and escape to the main body.
This ability to fight and run away with
greater facility than the ordinary infan-
trymGn is one of the chief points urged
by the ~bicyclers in favor of the new
arm" 1t is said hat scouting and re-
connoitering parties mounted upon bicy-
Giles could do much more effective work
without risk of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuvers, although the re-
treating force numbered but three officers
and twelve men, they succeeded in delay
ing the pursuers SO that it took them
three hours to cover a distance easily
made in less than two when no obstacles
are interposed. Three of the retreating
force dallied too long at a bridge, and
were ridden down and captured by a de-
tachment of the enemy. There were no
other losses. The chief difficulty expert
enced was due to the number of parallel
roads occasionally converging that ran
through the country traversed. The re-
treating party had to keep scouts con-
stantly ahead picking up the lay of the
land and bringing in reports, to pro-
tect themselves from the danger
of being ianked on some of these
roads and cut off entirely at a con-
verging point. In a country with one
good main road and but few side roads
the success of a bicycle corps in obstruct-
ing the passage of an enemy would be
much greater. Bicycles nave not yet been
introduced in the British regular army,
but If their success among the volunteers
continues, it is expected that a similar
corps will be organized in each regular
regiment.-New York Sun.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
diseases, believing that no condition of human-
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-

the physician who devotes himself
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to mis- race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP

There are many men of the age of so to 60 who

not account for. On examining the urinary de
posits a ropy sedimen will often be found, and
sometimes small particles of albumen will ap-

hue, again changing to a dark and turbid APP

Captain Stephenson of the Yale
navy that he will take the Yale crew
to England this summer and get up

the expenses, This proposition was

TIE Audit ACT.

EDITOR BuLLETIN:-A great deal
has been said about the Audit Act
by persons who perhaps have never
read it, orif they have do not under
stand it. One peculiar feature of
the Act is that it does not require
the Auditor-General TO keep any
books or accounts of the various eX-
pendItures of the Government.
When the Act was introduced and
passed it was probably intended that
the Auditor-General should have a
head of sufficient capability to keep
the accounts for any indefinite
period without the aid OF books, but
this method Of keeping accounts,
especially for biennial period, has
been found unsatisfactory and i'm
practicable and therefore l will
make the following suggestion, be-
lieying that this method would be
equally as good as the one now in
use and having the advantage Of
being perfectly clear.
Let the Auditor-General "chalk"
the expenditures, ETC., down on a
piece of ice, which melting before
the next Legislature meets, the
Auditor-General could make his
biennial report thus: Gentlemen of
the Legislature, (handing the presi-
dent demijohn), here is my bien-
niaI report GQua pura 1913 lbs. to

The last named class came to the
front one day last week, when the
abolition of Governors bill, a meas
ure to which some thinking people,
at least, are opposed, was up for
third reading. They declined to
listen to conservative counsels, to
defer final action for q few days.
Aware that the vote on the second
reading was in part the result of ex-
cited feeling, they were anxious to
pass the bill beyond the reach of
the House before members had re-
covered their reason and were cap
able of measuring it by its merits.
1t must be admitted that legisla-
ton which aims at suddenly break
ing up or materially altering sys-
TEN of government to which the
people have long been accustomed,
requires special care and caution-a
larger amount than a majority of
the Legislature has shown any dis
position to bestow upon the bills
abolishing Governors and providing
for the discharge of duties hitherto
performed by them.
Gentlemen, you are doing no
good to the country you are pledged
TO serve, by hasty, ill-considered
legislation. You were not elected for
that purpose. You are expected to
carefully weigh every bill brought
to your notice, before you make it
law. and if there is more forced
upon you than you can do properly
and thoroughly, decline TO touch it.
What you do, do well, and leave the
rest for u future occasion or TO pos.
terity. For goodness sake, do not
cucumber the statute-book with {
lot of crude stuff that will occupy
a half of the next session to wipe
off.

TOO MUCH.

An immense amount of legislation
has been undertaken by the Legis-
lature during the present session.
a great deal more than is possible
for any legislature to carefully and
thoroughly consider, along with the
divers other matters to be examined
and passed upon, in one short ses-
sion of three months or so. Some
measures have passed their final
stage and become law, some have
been strangled and committed to the
tomb, and others are still under con-
sideration or waiting to be con-
sidered.
We venture the opinion, that
if about three-fourths of the
bills introduced had been plac-
ed aside in their first stage
it might have been a wise course,
then the remaining fourth could
have received proper attention. Not
that this is an easy thing to do,
where legislation is conducted in the
way that it is here, without Govern
ment control, and with any and
every member of the House at
liberty TO bring forward measures
OF their OWN any and every day of
the week.
We repeat that it would be an
utter impossibility to give due con-
sideration, either in Committee or in
the House, to all the bills brought
forward. Where so much is at
tempted in so short time, hasty
legislation, which is a very undesir,
able thing, must be the inevitable
result. Some of the measures al
ready passed show unmistakable
signs of the prevalence of this ele'
ment, both in law and in logic.
Some of the members are tC
be credited with honest efforts tc
guard against this kind Of thing
others with total indifference TO il
SO far as evidence to the contrary i;
forthcoming, and still others Will
bull-at-a-gate endeavors to acceler'
ate it.
