BEDS.

The care of beds may seem very slm-
ple thing, and doubtless every woman
thinks she knows all about it; but in
this many are mistaken. 1t is by no
means sufficient to hastily spread up
bed, and be content if it looks smooth
and neat. Once week at least the mat,
trcss and bedding should be removed
from the bedstead, and it busted and
thoroughly cleaned. The mattress
should be uncovered and aired every
morning. When ready to put in order,
the undersheet should be spread and
folded under at the top and bottom, then
at the sides. If a wide hem is put at
the ton of the sheet, you can always
sleep with the upper part at your head.
Spread the upper sheet so as to leave
sufficient room to turn down, lay 1t
smooth and straight, when the blankets
and comforts may be put on and folded
under at the foot. The outside spread
should be put on evenly, and the upper
sheet turned down over all. Then the
nillows, we'll beaten, should be laid on.
4 bed thus cared for will be pleasant
and comfortable to sleep i'll, and health
full rest will be likely to come to the occu-

wb.. Gun Cotton Is.

Gun cotton Is n highly inhammable
and explosive compound, which is OBJ
tanned by the action Of nitric acid on
cotton in tho presence Of sulphuric
acid. By varying tho strength Of the
nitric acid. three Kinds OF gun cotton
may be obtained, OF which the frst Is
but slightly explosive; the second is
adapted for the preparation Of colo
dion. but is not explosive enough to
be used as a substitute for gunpowder;
while the third is highly explosive,
and is largely used in mining and mill
itary operations. The celebrated Aus
trian gun cotton IL made by FIRST thor
oughly cleansing and drying the cot
ton. then stepping IL in n mixture Of
sulphuric and nitric acids. II is then
taken out. squeezed as dry as possible,
and put in a fresh mixture Of strong
acids, where il is allowed TO lie forty
eight hours. IL is then washed sew.
eral times in a stream OF water. and
then finally dipped into a solution OF
silicate OF potassa or soluble glass.
The silicate OF potasss Is only used for
the purpose Of retarding combustion.
This gun cotton is OF no use whatever
for preparing collodion. but it is a use
ful explosive and is used for making
cartridges. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Something About Saws.


Saws have been discovered in Ger
many and Denmark which belonged
TO the bronze age. The metal OF
which they were composed was cast
into a thin sheet, and serrated by
breaking the edge. Equally interest
ing discoveries have been made in
America IL has been found that
saws made OF obsidian, which Is a
kind Of glass produced by volcanoes,
we're used during the stone age in
Mexico, and saws and knives OF the
same material have been found in the
alluvial deposits Of New Jersey. The
Phmnicians are amongst the earliest
nations which are supposed to have
used the saw. The scholar is not sur
prised to find a very pretty story ac-
counting for the discovery OF the saw
in Grecian mythology. Here the in
ventor is said to have found the jaw
bone OF n snake, which he initiated
by tagging an iron plate. The Lacus-
trine and other early inhabitants OF
Europe are credited with having made
saws OF flint, and the natives OF the
West Indian islands had saws made OF
notched shells. National Labor Trib-

High Speed on Railroads.

There are many things connected
with high speed on railways which
tax the ingenuity Of LOCOMOTIVES engi-
neers 10 the utmost Tho lines have
TO be made strong enough to with
stand the heavy blows OF the locomo-
tive, for the other portions OF the
running plant are light in comparison.
A railway train at sixty miles au hour
may be compared to a huge projectile
and subject to the same laws. The
momentum Is the product OF the
weight OF the train multiplied by the
square uf the velocity in feet per sec
ond; and II we allow a train OF 100
tons, travelling at a speed Of sixty
miles an hour, then the work required
to bring II 10 a standstill would be H.
400 foot tons exerted through one
minute, or nearly a thousand horse
power, which gives some idea of its
destructive force II. unhappily, IL
should come into action; and yet this
terrific power is so entirely under
command that the strength OF child
turning the small handle OF the
vacuum brake can bring the train to
a stand In a few seconds Chambers
