The enormous increase in the receipts of grain
at Baltimore can be explained only on the theory
that the lighterage and elevator companies there
are manipulating rates for the benefit Of the
road with which they are connected Some Baltl-
more grain merchants have been buying corn at
the West at prices which would net them loss
of to 10 cents per 100 pounds If the rate OF
transportation was that of the tariff, less an
the deduction allowed to Baltimore by the trunk

The horizontal frame Of the machine Is s,is-
pended by hanger bars from an aero-plane,
which is a rod frame covered on one face by
tached to the side bars Of the horizontal frame
a canvas forming rest or support on which
the aeronaut will lie, face downward, on his
breast and stomach, SO that his hands may
conveniently reach two transverse cranked
shafts, by working one of which he can alter
the incline or pitch Of the aero-plane, while
with the other he can rotate propeller wheel
journaled at the front of the machine. At
the rear is rudder sail, on the sides of which
lie sacks to receive the legs of the aeronaut
and allow him to guide the machine by his
legs in its flight The aero-plane is arranged
to be rocked up and down, and locked at any
desired adjustment, for utilizing wind cur
rents and the propelling force of the wind to
the best advantage.
Fig. Q is a front view of the propel-
Ter wheel, which is operated by chain
belt from the cranked shaft in front of
the aeronaut. The hub Of the propeller is
fixed to tubular shaft journaled in boxes
formed at the end parts of sleeve cams and
in half boxes held to the opposite side bars of
the Frame to cause feathering Of the blades,
so that they will be held edgewise to the wind
during their passage through the air above
the level of the propeller shaft, and will turn
their blades fiatwise to the wind during their
passage around below the level of the shaft,
this construction and action of the propeller
assuring its maximum lifting and propelling
power to raise and urge the air ship forward.

How to Preserve Ropes.

1t is often very important to prevent the
deterioration of ropes used in erecting scat
folds which are to remain up some time. and
especially in places where the atmosphere is
more than usually liable to attack the hemp.
It has been recommended to soak the very
dry ropes in a bath containing ninety grains
sulphate of copper per gallon of water, al
lowing them to remain three or four days,
afterward drying them. This treatment pro-
tects them as well against the attacks of in
sects. The copper may be fixed either by a
coating of tar or by solution Of soap in
water. For tarring the ropes it is preferable
to pass them through bath of boiling tar,
then draw them through ring which com
presses them, to extract the excess of tar,
afterward hanging them up to dry. In the
other process the ropes are soaked in solu-
tion of soap and water, containing $50 grains
of soap to one gallon of water. The salt of
copper which forms in the fbers preserves
them better than the tar, the action of which
is merely mechanical.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Stationery for Polite Correspondence ant
the Proper Form of Notes and Letters.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that ruled
paper is no longer fashionable for correspond
ence, formal or informal But as there are
on the market great variety of fanciful pa
pers chiefly remarkable for bad taste and &C.
centricity of coloring and form paper
adorned with notices, with flowers OF
even animals, paper with torn edges OF
gilded edges, with envelopes extremely long
and narrow and opening at the SIDE and vari.
GUS similar inventions. The following advice
from Good Housekeeping, as to what is the
best form in stationery for note and letter
writing, is quoted:
Deep colors are always out of taste. and
even in tinted paper care should be used that
it be of the most delicate tones, as soft grays,
dull blues and cream or light coffee color;
pink and green are without the pale There
is one choice which is always safe; the cream
white, thick linen used of the size suitable for
note or letter, and this has also the merit of
being unaffected by the changes of fashion.
Many ladies pride themselves upon the rigid
simplicity of their paper and its accompani-
ments, and keep always to the same kind;
for older ladies this habit is particularly APP
propriate. We know of one who clings to q
very thin foreign paper of dull lead blue,
and to those who have learned to value her
characteristic letters, the sight of the envel-
ope is as grasp of her hand.
There are many fancies in which young
lady may indulge and still keep within the
bounds of good taste. The intricate and
gorgeous monogram which SO inspired collec-
tors few years ago is creeping back into some
Of favor b1t ciunln IaffQr or
bination of letters stamped in one color or in
silver or gold isl prettier device; these letters
are usually placed across the upper left corner
of the sheet and are not seen on the envelope,
which should be sealed with wax. A very
sensible custom has come into vogue of hav-
ing the name of street and number of house
at the top of the paper,
The question is often asked if the use of
perfumed paper is allowable. There can be
no objection to it in social notes, but the
odor should be of the most delicate nature.
A faint touch of orris is perhaps best, and
heliotrope or violet is pleasant, but the
heavier odors, as musk or patchouli, are
vulgar in the extreme.
Now as to the letter and note paper The
date of a letter should be written in the upper
right corner, near the top of the page. The
address should be placed there also, unless
stamped upon the paper, in which case it is.
of course, unnecessary. In note the date is
more often at the end, below the signature,
and the name of the person addressed occu-
pies the corresponding side. Never date
letter vaguely; it may seem a trivial matter
at the time, but do not forget to write day Of
week, month and the year; it is far more ele-
CANT to do SO, and may save the recipient
much trouble il future reference be made
to it.

PHYSIOLOGY and HYGIENE.
Tho Nervous System Snd Moods That Re-
ault When It Il Out Of Order.

| Tho Nervous System knd Moods That RE-
| suit When 1t Ia Out of Order.
"Nothing In nature Is more marvellous. than
| the network of nerves which we call our ner-
vous system Each nerve Is a Geographic
cord In itself. Each is a part Of the whole
complex and inimitable system of telegraphy
by which messages from the headquarters in
the brain are sent to the minute stations In
the extremities"
When we are glum and dismal and low
spirited it is, according to the writer already
quoted, because the Geographic apparatus is
out.of order and the nerve force demoralized.
When nerves work wrong it Is as when tele-
graphicpoles are shaky or wires tangled or
crossed or currents irregular or batteries con-
fused.
According to the irregularity of our nerves,
80 are our irregular moods II all Is right,
we are happy and CHEEKY and sunshiny. But
let the batteries blunder, or the currents
cross, or the wires become entangled, and we
are irritable, sulky, i'll tempered. or angry, as
the case may be- In some of our distressful
moods we pout and sulk, and misinterpret,
and misunderstood. We take offense where
no offense is intended, and we impute to
others motives which are never conceived by
them.
At times, when the moods are out of sorts,
we think the whole world is prosecuting us,
and we, the afflicted objects of persecution,
are, above all other human creatures, singled
out for martyrdom. There are circumstances
under which most of us can, without in
superable difficulty, rise from the moodiness
which is brought about by letting the nerves
have their own way. Mental and physical
diet has much to do with it. Brooding over
real sorrows and imaginary miseries will
make the best of us moody and wretched.
Nursing grief and affronts and telling the
sad story of our woes has as depressing an ef
feet as narcotic drugs.
Sleeping in unventilated rooms often pro-
duces chronic wretchedness, even if these
rooms be furnished with the appliances of
wealth and refinement Good health, mem
tai, spiritual and bodily, is worth working
for and more easily attained than most folks
suppose.

Vaccination,

In Paris where the law requiring vaccina-
ton is feebly enforced, the mortality from
smallpox ranges from 1876 a. 1911 to the
100000 inhabitants, while in the principal
German cities, where the vaccination lawsare
rigidly enforced, the death rate is but LA to
the 100000 inhabitants London, under COM
pulsory vaccination, has death rate from
smallpox of but 0. 6 to the 900 inhabitants.
On the other hand, according to The Scien-
tific American, which is authority for the
above, in the canton of Zurich, in Switzer-
land, since the compulsory vaccination law
was repealed in 1888, the death rate from
smallpox has risen steadily from s to IS to
the 100, 900 inhabitants.
