MECHANICS AND INDUSTRY.

CALIFORNIA fruit growers, who used to throw away their peach pits, are now get ting six dollars a ton for them. They are worth this for fuel. They make a hot and aromatic fire.
 BEEswAx may be used for polishing ham, dles, etc. in the lathe. It may be tempered to any degree of softness by heating with turpentine This must be done with great care to avoid Q confagration.
 IN France they now use for steam and water-pipe joints, gaskets made of wood pulp. which are boiled in hnseed oil. They give satisfactory results, and are not sub feet to decomposition at high temperature. l IRON Is rolled 80 thin at the Pittsburgh iron mills that 12, 900 sheets are required to make @ single inch in thickness. Light readily as it does through greased tissue paper.
 TIE report of the Railway Age concern ing the amount of railroad track laying in thb United States for the first six months of 1889 shows that of the total number of miles of track laid, namely, 1,522, the South is to be credited with 909.
 LONDON is high in the esteem of the DE- per-makers, and DO wonderl 99O0s, ,000 bounds of paper are, it is calculated, used each week in printing the London metro politap dailles, penny weeklies and three principal Illustrated weeklies.
 THE total production of pig iron i4 the United states ip the first six months of 1889 amounted to 1, lo7, ,se9 net tons of 2,ooo pounds. In the last half of 1888 the pro- increase in this year of 221, ,895 tons.
 TIE discovery of oil in Michigan will ex. tend the oil territory of this country in @ new direction. An expert who has ex- amined samples of this product pronounces it to be of fine quality, and further ex- presses the opinion that natural gas will be found in the same vicinity.
 A PROFESSOR of the University of Cali fornia asserts that he has discovered 8 process of tapping leather which will make 1t almost indestructible As the people of the United States expend $500, ,0O0, ,0OO yearly on shoe leather, this is highly interesting news; but 1t is doubtful if boot and shoe men will rejoice to know that the product of their factories can be made to wear in- definitely.
 THE salt industry in Southern Kansas Is assuming majestic proportions. It is sad that the Salt taken mp at Wellington in that State Is the purest Ill the world. A dozen great salt plants are already in operation and othele will soon be established. In north middle Kansas there are extensive marshes that yield the saline eflorescepce in large quantities. In few years all the selt used for ordinary purposes west of the Mississippi river will probably be supplied by Kansas.

SICK.ROOM SUGGESTIONS.

TIE bed linen should be changed at least oucs in three days; the blankets once week, those that have been removed being hung In the open air for few hours, then thoroughly aired in warm room.
 THE room should be kept thoroughly ventl- lated aud temperature not lower than sixty Atght degrees nor higher than seventy de- 9rees. II the patient is kept warm air may De freely admitted without the least dan ger,
 TaE nurse's dress should invariable be neat, tasteful and pretty. Slippers or boots of felt should be worn. To be continually smoothing tho bed, pestering the patient with sympathy, and saying dozen times an hour ''How do you feel now?" is enough to drive a sick man wild.
 TIE cross sheet should invariably be kept free from crumbs and wrinkles, as these are @ frequent cause of bed sores. Whenever the least redness shows on the patients body the skin must be at once bathed with alcohol, thoroughly dried and dustcd with powdered oxide of zinc.
 A SHEET folded once lengthwise, laid across the bed, with the upper edge just touching the pillows and the ends tightly tucked under the mattresses, will be found docs not wrinkle like g single speet, and crumbs may be readily brushed of 1t.
 MEALS for invalids should look as tempt ing as possible. The tray should be covered with the whitest napkin, and the silver, glass and china should shine with cleanN ness. The patient should not be disgueteq by 9 display of too much food, and should not be consulted beforehand as to what he will eat or drink.
 1& bathing the invalid should never un- cover too large surface at once. Pin 8 blanket round the shoulders, fastening 1t behind, and remove the night-dress under that. Put the hand under the blanket and sponge the skin, small portion at time. A wopan's hair should be combed every day if she Is able to bear tbe fatigue. If It has become tangled little sweet oil will loosen it.
 HOUSEHOLD troubles should be kept far from the sick-room. Above all an invalid or an apparent convalescent should be saved from his friends. One garrulous ac- quajptance may in half an hour undo the good of week of tender nursing. In long illnesses small bed-table will be found iIi- dtspensable. Every cup, glass, spoon and utensu used should be taken out of the room and washed as speedily as possible. As to walking on tip-toe and whispering, poth- ing can disturb sick person more.-Home Topics, .r- '7~-

ONE swallow doesn't mako a summer, but two marriages in one summer are very likely to make a convict of young MT Ross of New Haven, whose fancy so lightly turned to love that he led to the altar two young ladies in New Haven in less than three months. During the so- journ in WethersfeId toward which he Is straight headed perhaps his thoughts will turn to the value of observing the law of the land, however uncomfortably that law may bear on the love fancies of gilded youth.

CONGRESSMAN cox.

In the death of Congressman Cox the country as we'll as the democratic party has met with loss which will be felt all the greater for the universal es- teem in which he was held by men of all parties and conditions of life. His was less of a partisan than a patriotic career and if he had not all the elements of statesmanship he had enough to lift him above the narrow bounds of par tisanship when his action hinged on matters of national importance to the country. A man of broad mind and sunshine itself, MT Cox saw the happy and humorous side of everything, and by sort of subtle instinct almost invari- ably found himself on the right side of great public questions. He has been ikened to the great Chauncey Depew in that he found statesmanship not wholly divorced from humor and happiness and that he learned to
 Find tongues in trees books in the running brooks, Sermons in and good in everything.
 What Chauncey Depew is to the repub- ican party Samuel s. Cox has been to the democratic party. During a public career extending over nearly thirty years MT Cox has been an able, honest, consistent and influential democrat, and now that he is dead he will be mourned by his party and by the country as we'll. If we had more such men in politics there would be less rancor and bitter ness, less reaching after hate, turmoil and disturbance, and more of the broad and liberal American spirit among those who are working along different politi- cal lines to the government and welfare of the country.
 Citizens without respect to politics will mourn that the genial, sunny, companionable Samuel s. Cox is no more.

NM CRINKLE some time since wrote long criticism of novel by Miss Abi s. Jackman, in the course of which he teld the authoress that she labored un- der the delusion that impertinence was cleverness, that adjectives were poetry, that recklessness is romance, and that literature is license, and that she ought to be spanked into the retirement of her mothers nursery for writing such an immoral book. The merciless critic is now in receipt of a note from the authoress, thanking him for his criti- cism, as it made a big sale for the book, and induced her publishers to buy the copyright. When Nym wants to kill another novel he will probably describe it as an exceedingly moral publication. Commentator of that kind would be the worst sort of blow to the publish CTS,

THE alleged reformers who are shoot ing their barbed arrows against the law on capital punishment in the various states would do we'll to consider the fact that the Abbe Faure, chaplain of the Roquette prieso, Paris, who has just sent to the minister of the interior report on his six years work as prieso chaplain, during which time he has accompanied thirteen criminals to the guillotine, de- fends capital punishment on the ground that criminals are really frightened by no other penalty. We have an idea that when capital punishment is done away with in America the carnival of mur- der will not look for material to feed it,

THIS is great country, but it hasn't yet reached that pinnacle of greatness where it can see it's public debt increas- ing every month without an audible protest. There will be protest in 1892, and the republican party will hear it.

THE New York Press is of opinion that the election of republicans to tine state legislature will prevent the buying of voters. We have a dim recollection that, in the opinion of the Press, Matt Quay and Bill Dudley are truly good and unco' righteous men. The Press is some times inclined to be humorous.

ATLANTIC CTTY. April 0.-The storm
king again holds undisputed sway over
this sea environed island. and for the
past two days his rule has been 50 vio-
lent and threatening as to make the sorely
tried residents on the outskirts Of the
city tremhle for the safety Of their homes
and themselves. Yesterday the avenues
were almost impassable owing to the
binding clouds of dust and sand, driven
by gale Of wind which, for thirty-two
hours preceding ! y. M, showed record
OF ] ,156 miles, or an average Of thirty six
and three-Quarter miles an hour. As
darkness approached the velocity Of the
wind increased to such an extent that
hnfAnes shook and swayed, large trees
were uprooted, wires twinging, signs and
ferces were torn down ON all sides, win
dosg shutters banged violently, and tin
roofs ratified, both the latter in a number
Of instances giving way before the furi-
Gus blasts.
Many people kept vigil all night. and
in the morning there was a general stam-
pede for the outgoing trains. Every
bus, carriage and covered vehicle that
could be utilized was called into service,
and SO great was the exodus from the
hotels that many impatient guests were
compelled to wait for later trains. owing
TO their inability to obtain a conveyance
to the depot.
Here are few incidents of the big
blow. The oyster sloop. j. w. Lewis,
which stranded on the bar opposite
Peters beach, has disappeared and will
no doubt be washed ashore in pieces be-
fore the storm is over. Over on Peters
beach q Philadelphia lawyer named
Samuel Williams, and Robert Wilson, a
local milk dealer, have been storm
bound since Saturday Mr.. Williams
brother was at the inlet and made Capt.
Gale q tempting offer to take his Yacht
across the stormy waters and bring the
two men back, but neither Capt. Gale
nor any Of the other boatmen could be
induced to attempt the dangerous pas
sage; and now the Peters Beach house
is in, If anything, more precarious
condition than before.
The wind Is still blowing a gale, and
the sea Is dashing around the now badly
weakened house with fury that must
be anything but comforting. The waves
swept over the pavilion in front of Mr.
Pumps place atthe inlet, carrying away
about fifty chairs and a number of
tables. The sea trash is again piled up
around the inlet to height of 1--WE feet,
and the car track is ilnpassable. The
sea end of the yachtsmen's wharf is
washed away and the planking torn up.
Charles Simmons. one Of the upper life
saving crew, while doing patrol duty on
the beach, was lifted bodily by gust of
wind and thrown several feet, landing
close to the surf. Tha~ gale is still on
with no indications Of abatinu
