ABOUT HORSEPOWER.

n Application to the NIeaaurement OF the
Capacity OF Boilers.
A great deal OF trouble has arisen
from the application OF the horse
power 60 the measurement OF the ca
soacity OF steam-boilers. The boiler is
but one factor in che power-prOducing
system. 1S furnishes the force. It is
che magazine where is accumulated
and stored the pressure resulting from
che conversion of che latent energy Of
coal into that Of steam; but this force
requires to be exerted through space
against resistance. through the length
OF an engine cylinder. against the re-
sistance to- movement of the piston
which il forces, TO effect the develop
ment OF power. Now some engines
use steam much more economically
than Others and boiler which could
furnish steam to develop power at the
rate OF one hundred horses with the
best OF these might not be able to do
thirty-horse power with the worst.
Now what is the "horse-power OF the
boiler?" The capacity of a boiler for
developing power depends upon its
ability to convert water into steam.
To meet the complications which arose
from this cause, the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers appointed a
committee to investigate the subject
of the commercial rating OF boilers,
and they adopted as standard the
evaporation of thirty pounds of water
per hour from feed water of one hun
sdred degrees F. into steam at seventy
pounds pressure to constitute horse
power. Some engines can develop a
horse power on this number of pounds
OF steam per hour, others can not, and
many can on less, yet it is about the
average present practice and supplies
a unit with some degree of prestige or
authority for the settlement of dis
putes upon the subject. - Wood

Comfortable Houses That Anes Roughly
Speaking, All Of Ono Pattern.
Having strayed through the streets,
let US now penetrate into the interiors.
The houses are, roughly speaking. all
of the same pattern. They are built
round two, or sometimes three, sides
Of a garden, with open arcades from
which the room is entered. The stair
cases sometimes rise through the in
ner parts of the building, sometimes
in arches in the open air; and they
terminate sometimes in corridor with
glazed windows, sometimes in q sec
ond arcade. or in deep loggia. As a
rule the woodwork is rude, and the
ceilings, upholstered, exhibit a row Of
rafters, backed by kind of mating.
Here and there, indeed, is a house
where every Intel and door is carved,
and the ceilings are arabesques of col
or; these, however, are exceptions.
But the rooms are, always numerous,
large and lofty; and they are con-
stantly broken by graceful arches,
which in the scarcity of good
timber, help to support the roof.
The arches, too, which surround
the gardens, high, slim, and point
ed, are a really beautiful feature, and
stamp the scene with a peculiar archi-
tectural character. These houses
cover considerable area. One in
which I 8 pent several weeks. and
which in comparative size was mod
erate-even small, had frontage to
the street of hundred feet. and a
depth of tw o hundred; while, one, hall
in ruins, which had to explore con-
$inually, must have enclosed within its
walls something far more than an
acre. Nothing can be imagined richer
in quaint views than the garden thus
secured, with the polished sky show.

Some Startling Statements q General In.
terest. /
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on being
asked when the training Of q child should
begin, replied, "a hundred years before It
is born"
Are we to infer from this that this gem
Grafton is responsible for the condition of
the race q hundred years from now7
Is this wonderful generation the natural
result of the proper diet and medicines of
hundred years agoa
It is conceded In other lands that most OF
the wonderful discoveries OF the world In
this century have come from this country.
Our ancestors were reared In log cabins, and
suffered hardships and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health to q
ripe old age. The women Of those days
would endure hardships without apparent
fatigue that would startle those of the pres
emit age.
One Of the proprietors Of the popular rem
edy known as Warmers safe cure, has been
faithfully investigating the cause, and has
called to his aid scientists as well as medi-
cal men, impressing upon them the fact
that there can not be an effect without
cause. This investigation disclosed the fact
that in the olden times simple remedies
were administered, compounded Of herbs
and roots, which were gathered and stored
in the lofts Of the log cabins, and when
sickness came on, these remedies from nat
ure's laboratory were used with the best
effects:
What W ere these remediess What were
search tn ey have obtained the formulas so
generally used for various disorders.
Now the question is, how will the olden
time prep arations affect the people of this
age, who have been treated, under modern
medical schools and codes. with poisonous
| and injurious drugs This test has been
carefully pursued, until they are convinced
that the preparations they now call War
] ner's Log Cabin remedies are what our
much abused systems require.
Among them is what is known al w ar
ner's Log Cabin sarsaparilla, and they
frankly announce that they do not consider
| the sarsaparilla of so much value in itself
| ingredients which together work marvel
ously upon the system. They also have
preparations for other diseases, such as
| "Warner's Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy" ssLog Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" t'Warner's Log Cabin hair tonic -
They have great confidence that they have
| a cure for the common disease of catarrh,
which they give the name of ''Log Cabin
rose cream" Also s'Log Cabin plaster
which they are confident will supplant all
others. and a liver pill TO ne used separately
or in connection with the other remedies.
We hope that the public will not be disap-
pointed in these remedies. but will reap a
benefit from the Investigations, and that
the prOprletOrS will not be embarrassed IN
their Introduction by dealers trying to sub
stitute remedies that have been so familiar
TO the shelves Of our druggists. This line
OF remedies will be used instead of others.
Insist upon your druggist getting them for
you il he hasn't them yet in stock, and we
feel confident that these new remedies will

their preparation. - =.

The Number Nine.

The number possesses some remarkable
props rties. If the nine dgits, 1,2, 3,4,5,G,7,
8, Q, be added together the sum will be As,
which is equal to five times nine, and the
sum of the dgits of their sum, and 5, is
nine. lfany number is subracled from an
other having the same digits in different
order the remainder will be divisible by 0,
and the sum of the digis ofthe remainder will
also be divisible by9. Subracting ,067, 1884
from 1884 G20 there remains 4,396995. The
sum ofthe digts, 4, 3, 0, 6, %, 0, 5, is 45, which
is diVisiblo by 0. If any number be
multiplied by 0, the sum of the digits or
figures of the product will be divisible by 8.
Nine times 43,7S0, 1876 is 394021 215; the sum
of the digits of this product is 81, multiple
of9. If number be sublracted from an
other having the same digits in a different
order and one of the digits of the remainder
erased, it can be found in the following man
