Some Enormous saIeries-

Some interesting figures In regard to
salaries have been elected in a suit
in Brooklyn against a baking-powder
company 1t was shown that the
President OF the company draws a SAL
AIRY of $500 year, the Vice Presi-
dent $50, 900, and the Treasurer $1,000.
The President of paint and yarnish
company, who was introduced as an
expert in regard to saleries, stated that
the Superintendent of his company
received $4,000 n year. while the
yearly business did not exceed 8, ,000,- -
U0O. Another witness stated that in
companies with which he was acqualn-
ted the chief officers received from
$4,000 to $50, 900 a year, while repre-
sentative OF a keroSene-oN company
said that lie knew one officer OF a large
corporation who received q salary or
5000 a year, and two others who
receive so, 600 each. These figures
ara enormous, and were unknown until
the days of trusts and combinations.
The explanation is furnished in the
testimony of one of the witnesses, who
said that the business OF the company
with which he is connected had been
increased until the profits had reached
$50 per cent. on the original capital
stock,

Dou't XIII the OLD Hens.

When hens are shedding feathers they os-
ten stop laying and grow fat Most people
consider fat n sign OF health The fatten-
ing of moulting hens, however. as with
some people, produces debility ratLcr than
health. Many of the worst cases OF roup
are contracted, while the hens are moulting.
The food of moulting hens, If largely
vegetable is fat-forming, and not required
for growing feathers. Therefore corn-fed
hens get very fat. They need more nitro
gen and phosphate elements IN their food
when moulting, which If not supplied they
stop laying, because the growing feathers
have used all, and lett no heterogeneous mat
ter TO form eggs At this season, killing
old hens and relying on young pullets is a
great mistake, where people have n few
hens and late pullets. Because, If properly
| fed. the hens will have their new plumage
and lay well all winter; while the pullets
unless specially treated may not commence
laying until spring, when high prices for
eggs have fallen one-halE Again an old
hen = egg will hatch a more vigorous chick

Observation-Disclosures


The experiments of NM. Coulter and
Mascart, extended by Aitkin, have
demonstrated that in a perfectly moist
air no formation of fog is possible, now
ever much the temperature may be
lowered, so long as the air is absolutely
free from dust. and that the more air,
sufficiently moist, may be charged with
such foreign PARTICLES, the more dense
sufficient lowering of the temperature
or pressure of the air. Let filtered and
completely moist air in glass ball have
it's pressure diminished, then only a few
particles of fog will reveal themselves
to the most careful inspection, even
under the powerful light OF an electric
lamp-particles of fog which moreover,
yield not the slightest colored image
If there be now admitted into this FL
tered air a few cubic millimetres of
ordinary house air, which always con-
tains numerous notes or PARTICLES of
dust, a very fine. silvery, transparent,
fog will at once form itself, of such
slight density that, even in the case of
a considerable area of it, the transpar-
ency of the atmosphere would be but
very slightly affected. If at the first
moment of its formation a reflected
image of the sun. or a reflected light of
an electric lamp, be viewed through it,
the image will be seen surrounded by
an intensely luminous blue or greenish
light. These Investigations may be
said TO be the latest, as they are also
the most interesting and complete yet
made il this direction.

According to L'IRdustrie PGrfsienne,
laundryman In the vicinity of Paris
has discovered a very ingenious method
of cleaning linen without soap. He
uses no soap OF lye, nor chlorine, but
replaces these substances by boiled po-
tatoes, with which he rubs the linen.
This curious process, 1t appears, Is
much superior to those hitherto en-
ployed, and the worst soIled cotton,
linen or silk. cleaned by this method,
are much whittier than they could be by
the use of an alkali. Besides, the
method has the advantage that brushes
can be dispensed with and well water
