A New York Girl According to the
Boston Notion.
From the Boston Globe

From the Boston Gtobe.
She goes about, tits true, tricked out
With paint and beads and feathers;
But then. instead Of moccasins,
She wears trim patent feathers;
And though her costumes might be called
Bizarre or cen barbaric.
The world allows much latitude
To Violetta Varick.
Mayhap you might make some mistake
When first you heard her singing,
And think her robust voice must be
A weird, wild war whoop ringing;
But, though the helpless heart OF man
She mercilessly harrows,
The glances darling from her big
Black eyes are all her arrows.
She's not exactly civilized,
And yet not quite q savage.
Though the queens English she is wont
Most cruelty TO ravage.
She swings no tomahawk above
the victims of her slaughter,
But, 0, the scalps that dangle from
The belt of CrRsus' daughter

The Nashville Democrat does not APP
prove of the action of some 200 grocers
who met in New York the other day to raise
the price of sugar sold to the public. 1t
calls it "a conspiracy to rob" aud says:
1.-The claim that they are handling sugar at
a loss is one that no intelligent consumer
will admit. Grocers are no more given to
Wholesale philanthropy than other people.
They are entitled to a legitimate profit, and
are too good business mon not to fix their
prices so as to secure it," If tho Democrat
is not right, it is at least plain-spoken.

gun with a charge of $50 pounds Of powder.
II is believed that with the latter charge It

II do not hesitate to renew what l j have
said-that too much cannot be said in

used it in my own family, besides a great
number Of sufferers who have applied to
me, with almost instant and permanent
relief, 1 can truly say that its use has
effected cures to my knowledge and
afforded relief that seemed incredible
and almost marvellous" Also Sergeant
Thos. f. Hogan, Northeast Police

Baltimore, Md, states: "My wife had
been a sufferer five or six years with in
tense pains in her Northumberland
found no relief from doctors. She used
besides all kinds of remedies without
benefit until finally 1 was induced by a
brother officer, who had been cured by
st. Jacobs Oil, to give it a trial to re-
lieve my wife. 1 did so, and she used
two bottles, which cured her completely.
She has had no return of the pain.
While using it our boy fell from a shed
and sprained his leg badly. A portion
of the Oil was used on him and it cured
him promptly. My wife attends to her
household duties without trouble" The
positive and permanent cures-no re-
lapse, no return of pain-are the points
to which public attention is turned.

and keeping it on hand is the indication
of the times toward what is best.

open up a field for che application of
electrical engineering to which it
would be difficult to assign a limit. The
question OF the disposal OF sewage has,
since the passing OF an act Of parliment
%forbidding the pollution Of rivers, be-
come n very pressing m in this coun-
try, and many towns have gone to
enormous expense in this matter; while
the results attained are often by no
means satisfactory.
A great deal Of interest has been
aroused by the publication of Prof. Elihu
Thomson's method of rendering visible
tho phases of an alternating current.
The method is unquestionably IN ex-
tremely beautiful and ingenious one,
and seems likely to lead TO important
results. II is possible, however, that
the details OF the arrangement are sus-
ceptible of improvement by doing away
with the levers altogether and adopting
a device similar to that OF Lissajous in
his we'll known method Of combining
the vibrations of tuning forks. The
question of recordingth the shape of alter
mating current waves had already met
with some attention in this country, and

Electricity in Washington.
Washington Correspondence Pitts
burg Press: Many OF the members in
the house afflicted with rheumatism go
down TO the engine room OF the house
and have Pap" Talcott, the electrician
give them a dose OF electricity from his
dynamo. John Clark, the clerk of the
house. and s. B. Cunningham, the dis
bursting clerk are regular patients OF
the electrical room and go down daily
to be treated.
The electrical arrangements for the
capitol are more elaborate than is gen.
orally supposed. The 1,500 five foot gas
burners by which the house is lighted
end the 100 or more jets in the rotunda
are all ignited by electricity. In addi-
tion to this there are numerous callbells
from the hall to the speakers rooms
and those OF the chief stenographer
and journal clerk, which are run by the
same dynamo.
Mr.. Talcott and his assistant, j. A.
Woodwork, has discretion 'asito when
the gas shall be turned on in the house.
The speaker, however, sometimes calls
upon them to light up when he thinks
1t necessary and within a couple OF min

a thermostat which exhibits the. exact
temperature in the house and enables
the chief engineer to regulate his air
heating apparatus accordingly.
1t is aimed to keep the temperature Of
the house at a uniform point OF from SO
to II degrees.
A very good illustration was given

eter, expecting to see it register about
20 degrees. He vas surprised, how
ever, to find the anne figures on that,

Electric Safety Lamps.

Electrical World: More than two
thousand electric lamps are now in use
in the coal mines of England and we are
told that miners are in favor of the
change. as they benefit considerably by
the increased illumination. 1t is many
years ago. says Industries, that 1T was
suggestested that our coal mines be lit
by electricity, but the use of portable
lamps for this purpose has only recently
been introduced. We hope that many
companies will see the advantage OF
this method Of illumination over the
older and more cumbrous forms OF safety
lamp, and that an extended use OF cleo
tricity in our coal mines may be a means
of diminishing explosions. There is q
disadvantage attending the use OF in
candescent lamps in mines, inasmuch
as they offer no indications of the pres
ence of fire damp. 1t has been found,
however, by Mr.. Biveing, that a red
hot platinum wire glows more brightly
in air contaminated with fire
damp than in pure air.
and this fact has been recently
utilized so as to afford q convenient in
dictator for the presence OF fire damp in
mines. AS the wire can be heated by
the current from the same accumulation
as supplies the lamp, nj additional en-
ergy or expense is incurred, and we
learn from experiments with this APP
paratus, much better and more reliable
indications are afforded Of the presence
of an explosive mixture than when q
