THx war against the car stove. which
WAS begun two winters ago, has brought
many tangible results; but The prog ress
toward other systems OF heating psssen-
ger trains ia not oT rapid ss IL should be.
The Railroad Gazette has collected IN for
NATION as to the prevalence of steam
heating among tha roads in the country.
While many are still eIperimo ntIng, only
few have equipped all traiGs. Among
the latter are the Boston ard Albany,
whose entire passenger outfit Is provided
with a steam heating system; most of the
Vanderbilt roads, including the New York
Central, West Shore, Michigan Central
and Lake Shore. which are either now or
will bs this winter we'll rid of the car
stove; and the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
and Northern, Fitohburg, Connecticut
River, Maine Central aud Portland and
ogdensourg. Several important lines
are providing a steam-heating equipment
as rapidly as possible, including the
Atchinson, st. Paul, Rock Islsad. CIeys-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati aud Indian
apolis, Lackawsnna and Western, Dcla-
ware and Hudson, Lake Erie and Western
and Wisconsin Central. Experiments are
being conducted more or less Indifferent
Iy on various other roads. The Boston
and Albany and Vanderbilt road. use the
Martin system; the Sewal comes next in
Importance; while great number of the
roads are devising a system of their own.

A PANS genius has invented kind OF
eleotral piano which is played bg merely
turning a crank, and which renders the
most difficult music with skill and GO
curscy Dfa virtuosu. There IL great
demand for piano of this KIND. Tech
niqus and EXPRESSION are only acquired
by long and assiduous practice, and the
effort of young women to m ser the
piano is a core utlliotiOn in every neigh.
borhood. Her iaoessant tum-ti tum tum-
ti-tum during the immaturi'y of h>r
musical genius often drives people TO
madness. A piaro already educated TO
play would do away with tho practicing
girls, save the eI pen-o OF music teachers,
and enable families with muaicai young
women to rotain the good will OF their
neighbors. As the inventor assor's, tho
electrical piano will rsvolutioniza the
world of music and prove great boon
TO the race.

Pertinent Advice.

A barber in Harrisburg, Pa, undertook
recently to lecture upon "The Human
S3alp." He would have got along all
right if he had not undertaken to work a
remedy which he claimed to have dis
covered for bringing out hair upon bald
head. Some irreverent man in the audi
ence shouted out, "Why don't you try it
on an old hair trunk9" The lecturer didn't
answer the inquiry, but he brought his
discourse to an abrupt termination.

Painting.

1t is surprising how everybody rushcs
at faihting person and strives to raise
him up, and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an instructive
apprehension that if person seized with
faintiug or other fit fall into a recum-
bent position death is more imminent.
Always remember this fact, namely:
Painting is caused by want of blood
in the brain. The hear ceases to beat
with sufficient force to send the usual
amount of blood to tho brain, hen ICE the
person loses consciousness because the
function of the brain ceases. Restore
the blood to the brain and instantly the
person RECEIVERS. Now, though the blood
it propelled to all parts OF the body by
the action of the heart. yet it is still
under the influence OF the laws
of gravitation In the erect position
the blood ascends to the head against
gravitaiion, aud tho supply to the brain.
is diminished as compared with the
recum bent position, the heart pusa-
tion being equal II then, you place a
person sitting whose heart has nearly
ceased to beat, his brain will fail to re-
eeive the blood; while II you lay him
down with the head lower than the
heart, blood will run into the brain by
mere force Of gravity, and in iaiuting
in sufficient quality to restore con-
sciousn,ss. Indeed, nature teaches Us

water, is found of great practical value
In engineers shops, in the drip pans

The interesting fact is stated that so
indestructible by wear or decay is the
African teakwood that. vessels built of it
have lasted one hundred years, to be
then. only broken up because of their
poorsailing qualities from faulty models.
The wood, in fact, is one OF the most re-
markable known, on account of its very
great weight, hardness, and durability,
its weight varying from forty-tw to
fifty-two pounds per cubic foot; it works
easily, but on account of the large
quantity of slick contained in it the
tools employed are quickly worn away.
It also contains an oil which pre-
vents spikes and other iron work with
which it comes in contact from rusting.
A celebrated physician has remarked
that every house ought to be pulled
down at the end of the sixtieth year, as
it has by that time absorbed all the dis
eases of those who have lived in it, be-
heving that wood and plaster absorb
gases, foul air and feverish cxhaIations
as readily as milk or water docs. But
as it is not practicable to tear down
houses every half century or so, it is to
be considered il all the wood used in the
interior construction and all the plain
surfaces of plaster should not be so
thoroughly oiled or vanished that the
power Of absorption should be almost
entirely destroyed, and the character
thus so changed that destruction would
be no longer desirable.
