ANOVELTY FOR WINTER.

1T any one is contemplating keeping
many plants this winter, and has but
limited space for them, we think it would
be good idea to place them all together
in some large box, cask, or even a part
of a barrel. 1t could be made Just as
fancy as desired, but the plants would
soon grow and cover the sides. We
think one-half of barrel would be the
incest, as it will admit of more soil and
allow planting of a greater variety of
plants. Holes could be made in the
sides and small vines planted there then
their roots would not interfere with the
plants on top and the vines would cover
the casks better. Fucfaias, geraniums,
heliotropes, coleus, and almost an endless
variety, can be raised with very little
trouble. The barrel must be set upon
stool or something, so as to allow a pan
or other dish under to catch the drainage
after watering the plants. OF course
judgment must be used in watering in
the winter, as, there being so much soil,
the plants will not need it nearly so Of
ten as they would were they in small
potts. Exchange.

How to Develop the Lungs.

The exercise which have found of
most value in developing the lungs may
be described as follows: Standing erect
as possible, with shoulders thrown back
and chest forward, the arms hanging
close to the body; the head up, with lips
firmly closed, inhalation is to be taken
as slowly as may be, at the same time
the extended arms are to be gradually
raised, the back of the hands upward,
until they closely approach each other
above the head. The movement should
be so regulated that the arms will be ex-
tended directly over the head at the mo-
ment the lungs are completely filled.
The position should be maintained from
five to thirty seconds before the reverse
process is begun. AS the arms are grad
ually lowered the breath is eXhaled
slowly, so the lungs shall be as nearly
freed from breath as possible at the time
the arms again reach the first position at
the side.
By these movements the greatest ex-
pansion possible is reached, for upon in
spiration the weight of the shoulders and
pectoral muscles are lifted, allowing the
thorax to expand fully, while upon ex-
halatlon IN lowering the arms we utilize
the additional force of this pressure upon
the upper thorax to render expiration as
complete as possible. These deep respir-
atoms should be repeated five or six times,
and the exercise gone through with five
or six times a day. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to remark that the clothing must in
no way interfere with the exercise In
some cases this exercise is more advan-
tageous when taken lying fat on the
back, instead of standing. In this position
the respiratory muscles become rapidly
strengthened by opposing the additional
pressure exerted by the abdominal organs
against the expanding lungs. And, on
the other hand, expiration is more per-
feet and full on account of the pressure
of these organs. This is an exercise now
advocated by several leading vocal teach
ers of Europe. john L, Davis, NJ. d.

MOISTURE IN HOUSES.

1t is stated that the sudden change of
the weather recently from cold to warm
and damp, observes the Philadelphia
Times, has caused thousands of dollars of
damage to wall paper and other articles
In houses. OF course it has, and it is so
simply because many people do not study
the plainest common-sense principles in
airing their houses. One evening lately
people went to bed with a hunt for extra
blankets because of the sudden and
severe chill in the atmosphere. When
they arose in the morning their bed
rooms. parlors, dining-rooms, etc., were
yet chilly from the cold of the previous
day, while the outside atmosphere had
suddenly become not only warm, but hot
and oppressive with dampness.
Inconsiderate people opened their win
dows and doors because the weather was
warm, forgetting that the excessive mois-
ture in the atmosphere would rush in
with the warm air and swiftly deposit
itself on the cold walls, furniture, etc.,
and penetrate wall, papers, curtains,
bedding, and everything within reach
that presented a surface colder than the
air that carried it into the house.
Of course the moisture loosened and
discolored the paper; made curtains as
limp as wash-rag; made beds damp
and musty, and generally spoiled every
thing that water could spoil; but all
could have been avoided by following
the plain, common-sense rule of not
opening houses suddenly to suddenly
changing atmosphere, carrying an ex-
cessive quantity of moisture.
A pitcher filled with cold water and
placed in room in summer will "sweat''
at least that is what it is commonly
called. The pitcher does not sweat, be-
cause it is not porous and cannot sweat:
but the cold water inside chlls the outer
surface, and, as soon as the outer surface
of the pitcher becomes cooler than the at
mosphere in the room, the moisture of
the air will be precipitated upon the
pitcher in drops.
This simple illustration should teach
all housewives to avoid suddenly opening
rooms in house when the outside at
mosphere is warmer than the tempera-
ture of the rooms and full of moisture.
In all such cases the wall paper, furni
ture, etc., being cooler than the outside
air, will speedily have the moisture of
the atmosphere precipitated upon them,
and it will require days to restore the
house to the dry condition that is essen
tial to health.
There are no arbitrary freaks in the
laws which govern the atmosphere sur
rounding US, and there is nothing abstruse
in mastering them. Warm, damp air will
ever precipitate its moisture in houses or
elsewhere whenever it comes in contact
with anything chilled by the cooler at
mosphere, and that is the whole story.
The only thing to be added is that, when
people have thus ignorantly or negligent
ly allowed their houses to become damp,
they should light fires and dry them as
promptly as possible.

People compare Brighton, England,
with Long Branch and other Ameri-
can seaside resorts, but London by
the Sea-" as Brighton is called in Eng
land, can only be compared unto itself.
Long Branch is village and is built
of wood; Brighton has steady popu-
lation of 49,, 900, and all of its build
ings are Of brick and stone. 1t is fifty
one miles from London and is reached
in ninety minutes by rail. 1t has large
hotels of the first class, one of them
ten stories high; the streets are lined
with attractive shops and the resi-
dences are very fine. The walk along
the main thoroughfare for miles over
looking the sea is made beautiful with
grass plots and flower beds, and the
roads for driving are excellent, but if
you go to Brighton for surf bathing
you will be disappointed, for there is
little or no surf, and the beach is
stony, miserably dirty and very COM
mon looking, much of the space being
occupied with small sail boats offered
for hire by make believe sailors, the
rest of the ground Gt cannot be called
sands) being occupied by bathing
boxes, oyster peddlers, penny boot
blacks, big boys ON small donkeys,
and mountebanks who mount stills
for few coppers. The ocean proper
does not come into Brighton: it is on
the English channel, opposite the
coast of France.
But people do not go to Brighton to
battle, and fashion does not go there
at all till the autumn. In the sum-
mer it is favored during the week with
the patronage Of London tradesmen's
families; on Saturday afternoons, Sun
days, bank holidays, ETC.. the rabble
gather there in crowds. The halt, the
lame and the lazy loll and doze in
sedan chairs pulled slowly along the
sidewalk of the principal street
by men and boys, while the
more fortunate sit in their carriages,
some of them fast asleep. The horses
seem to know and to study the wishes
of the occupants of the vehicles they
draw, for they Jog along at snail
pace. The town is prosperous, and
the population is steadily on the in
crease, but outdoor life there has few
attractions, driving excepted. The
classes are very much mixed, and life
on what they call the beach" at
Brighton is a counterpart of life at its
namesake, West Brighton, Coney Is

CARING FOR FURNITURE.

When cleaning the room thoroughly it
is good plan to remove the lighter ar
ticles of upholstered furniture into the
air and the heavier ones into another
room in which the windows are opened.
Hair-cloth is best cleaned by beating
with a small switch or rattan, afterward
wiping with a soft cloth. If it is old and
is losing its color, it can be made to look
almost as good as new by wiping it over
with cloth wet in ink. Plush furniture
should be brushed with bristle brush. A
medium-sized paint brush is just the thing.
Never switch plush, as it will leave a
mark that any amount of brushing will
not entirely obliterate. A small paint
brush for the crevices of the wood work
is necessity to keep it in good condition
by removing the dust. Wipe over the
wood work with soft, damp cloth, and
polish with dry cloth. A small quantity
of warmed linseed oil rubbed well into
the wood, and this afterward rubbed
briskly with soft, dry cloth, will give
the wood nice, soft polish. See that
the castors on the heavy articles of fur
niture are in good condition so that they
will not tear or mark the carpet when
moved from their places. A little ma
chine or kerosene oil will do good SER
vice if applied to them occasionally, ap-
plying only enough to make them work
freely, as too much is apt to work down
and leave an ugly spot on the carpet

Most of the hot winds of the Old
World are modified forms of the
simeon. The siro' } originates in the
Sahara and travels Woodward TO the
Mediterranean and so;dlern Europe
but it is not so deadly as its prototype
1t brings with it great quantities of
the desert sand, and the air becomes
so dense at times that the sun is OBJ
scured as if by London fog. While
it remains on the African mainland it
is characterized by very marked dry
ness, as there are no extensive water
susfaces to supply it with moisture:
AS soon, however, as it is launched
over the Mediterranean it begins to
take up copious draughts, so that when
it reaches Malta, Sicily, and the south
ern shores of Europe as wind from
between southeast and southwest, it
has undergone change from hot,
dry wind to hot, damp wind. The
result of this alteration is that it be-
comes most enervating to the human
constitution. Indeed, while it pre-
walls, from one to several days at a
time, life is scarcely worth living, SO
depressing and burdensome is the
wind. 1t is the plumbeus Auster of
Horace, Human energy is quite dissi-
pated under its fatig,ifng Influence,
and with temperature ranging be-
tween 95 and Ito dogs. the streets
of the towns affected by it are de-
serted.
To the Sicilians the oppressive wind
is perfect plague, for, although nat
urally indolent, they cannot stand the
further loss of energy induced by it.
During its prevalence iron rusts,
cloths spoil with mildew, meat turns
putrid, grapes and green leaves wither,
wine will not fine and paint will not
dry. Sicily experiences the sirocco
about dozen times year, but it is
not so frequently met with in other
parts of Europe. There is no mistak
ing the origin of the wind, as the red
dish sand is still present when it ar
rives on the northern shores of the
Mediterranean and causes a misty at
mosphere. In Turkey the sirocco is
known as the Samuel, or Sumyel, a
name identical in meaning with 81
moon. 1t is supposed to have some
connection with cattle disease in the
south of Russia. On the Spanish Med
iterranean coast the wind draws more
to the coast, and is known locally as
the solano, a damp wind, sometimes
accompanied by rain, causing fever
ishness, dizziness and restlessness, and
people are SO done up" under its de-
biGtating influence that we must TASK
no favor during the solano." Accord
ing to the Spaniards only pig and
an Englishman are insensible to this
wretched breeze. Magazine

A Chicagoan at Lunch.

That Chicagoan dislikes to lose any
time is patent to an observer in any of
the down town restaurants during the
DON hour. Almost every second eater
has a paper propped up before him
against a glass or a catsup bottle, and
while he devours his lunch he also de-
YOURS the news at tho same time. When
he finishes one side of his paper he lays
down his knife and fork long enough to
expose fresh side to his view, when he
resumes the double occupation Of reading
and eating. The average Chicago bust
ness man can consume a fry without
missing a news item, and can keep
posted on :he affairs Il the day without
overlooking an oyster.-Chicago Herald.

a Big STRIKE.
A Portland Man who Owns Half Of a
Nevada Mine.

Some years ago a resident of Baldwin
went West and became engaged in sheep
raising Later he left his rancho and wan
dered into the mountains of Nevada, where
he worked at mining. While there he struck
a lead and satisfied himself that he had got
something rich in copper. He staked out his
claim, went through all the proper legal
forms, and the possession Of his mine. He
hadn't any money, which was natural. and
the next thing was to get the money to de-
velop the mine. He bonded the property to
an Englishman, who wanted to get syndi-
cate of Englishmen to purchase the mine,
but soon afterwards, the bottom dropped
out Of copper, and nothing further was heard
of the syndicate.
A little while ago the miner returned
home. He stated to some Of his friends that
he owned most valuable mine in Nevada,
but almost all of them smiled. Too many
people had been bitten by that dog. There
was one of our citizens, however, who is
something of mineralogist. He went into
the matter thoroughly. He was satisfied that
this miner had good thing. He sent him
back to Nevada this summer to get all the
necessary papers and specimens from the
mine. Prof Bartlett has essayed the spec
linens. Hs says If the lode is as big as sta
ted this is the richest mine in the country
and that it is as rich in gold and silver as in
copper. Some Of Portland's wealthiest men
will go into the affair and form a company
to develop the mine, probably on Saturday,
the 10Th inst. 1t looks as If the genial Port
land gentleman-whom everybody likes will
be one Of the wealthiest men in Portland
yet He owns half the mine.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
How Congressman Reed Called the
Attention OF Democratic Editors.

Congressman Thomas B. Reed arrived at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York on SUM-
day. A glow of Republican warmth spread
itself through tho hotel, and the few Repub-
licans there hastened to congratulate the
man who had won such great victory. Mon
day Mr.. Reed visited the Republican Nation
al headquarters for short time. where he
received more enthusiastic congratulations.
Att o'clock Mr.. Reed started for New
Brunswick. N. j., to speak at the Opera
House. A Tribune reporter asked Mr.. Reed
for his impression on the Maine election,
and he replied:
81 should think you would want my i'm
preston as to the Maine election. AS have
watched the progress of the Democratic ed
tor from CONSERVATION to doubt, from doubt
cheerfulness and from cheerfulness to salts
faction and rapture, 1t has seemed to me as
II some information from native might re-
ally be desirable. If the Maine election has
put on nothing but neutral tint the Maine
Democrats do not know II. They know that
in 1884 they made no fight, had no money
and no organization, and that this year their
organization has been of the best. and If
they wanted any more money than they had
1t must have been because they desire to use
money In way horribly inconsistent with
their high though recent reputation for econ
omy and reform. No Democrat, even the
most timid, expected we would have 1900.
and no Republican, even the most sanguine,
expected more than 1900. All above that
figure Is q clear expression on the particular
issue of this campaign. While the Demo-
cratic editor can figure himself into a state
of happiness over the return from the State
none OF them seem to have noticed that the
plurality in the First District has risen from
11Ss to 2456. You would have to 60 back %
years to find any such figures. Twenty-Five
