the Threshing Machines then
in use were almost wholly OF
the class known as the Endless
Apron" style. Then it was that
Nichols & Shepard, of Battle
Greek, Mich. invented andbegan
to develop an entirely new and
novel style OF Grain Thresher and
Separator, which theyvery appro-
priately named the "Vibrator."
1t was revolution in Thresh-
ing Machines, and from a small
beginning of five machines in
1853 they soon reached a pro-
duct Of 1000 yearly.
Their Vibrator drove the End
less Apron" machine out of mar
ket, and all other makers copied
it as closely as they dared. To-
day all Threshing Machines OF
any reputation or merit use the
principles of the old Vibrator.
Nichols &.Shepard have con-
tinued in the business without
change of name, location, or
management; and during the
past three years have brought
out and developed another new
Threshing Machine for grain and

machines as their former was to

OF the question to altogether pre-
vent friends OF the unfortunate peo-
pie from occasionally seeing and
talking with them and that such
visitations are distributed right
along by means of individual per-
mits, / can only say that your in
formation is totally incorrect.
The only circumstances under
which return permits are issued TO
friends of lepers are when the leper
is first sent. in a few instances
about a dozen in the past year-a
friend has been allowed TO go for
week or two and help him or her get
settled in the new home. With this
exception, those who have been al
lowed to go to live with and assist
their friends do so with the full I'M
Outstanding and the agreement that
they are not to return.
Concerning the suggestion, which
has been made, that the action of
the Board was for political effect, all
1 can say is that. by their fruits We
shall know them" During the
period of eighteen months since the
present Board took Office three have
been removed to Molokai T67 lepers,
while during the eighteen months
prior to that the number removed
was thirty five within six months
from to-day the Board hopes, and
expects. that every person in this
country who can be identified as
leper will be at the settlement at
Molokai.
And this further will say, man
who would be willing to trade in
and make political capital of lep-
rosy, and play fast and loose with
segregation for political effect, would
be utterly unworthy of public conf
dence and deserving only Of con-
tempt and execration. If such there
be in this Kingdom, l can only hope |
that he may be treated according to /
his deserts Yours, etc,

in the trade with great incrcdulity.
but recent investigation has forced
some sugar experts to change their
opinion. Among these are Messrs.
Willett x Hamlen Of New York. who
in their circular letter of Dec. 18th
refer to the matter as follows:
Since our last circular several
trials Of sugar making by electricity
have occurred. at which we have
been present. At one such, on the
Sd and 4th instants, 23.7 53 lbs. net
of raw sugar were used in the secret
room. This sugar analysed as fol
lows: cane, $40: grape, Ia; water,
IS4; ash, .43; organic substance.
1.S9: total, 100. This sugar was de-
livered in half bags for convenience
of handling. The machinery was
started and inside of ten minutes
refined sugar began to appear two
stories below. and continued until 70
barrels were filed. which weighed
22,341 lbs. net. The running time
was 2l7 minutes, or at the rate of
one barrel every q minutes The
operators We're two women and six
men. BY listening at the wall of the
room, the emptying of each bag of
sugar into the crushing machine
could be plainly noted by the loud
and distinctiyely peculiar noise com
ing from any crushing machine,
when the material to be crushed en-
ters it, followed by more quiet IL
terval of sound between each bag.
This recurrence of sound continued
during the running. Nothing more
could be noted on that floor. except
that the serious vibration of the
indicated machinery of
great power. On the floor be-
low the " granulators could
be distinctly heard as they manipu
lated the sugar and sent it down
the spouts in regular short |

convenient to the ''granu
lators," as an overflow of it came 1
down through the floor at one time, /
and the moist conditions of the sugar /
at times, and dryness at other times,
show that water was used unevenly, /
Jr that the sugar was allowed to
descend before sufficiently dried.

FalIacies About Night Air.

An extraordinary fallacy is the
dread of night air. What air can we
breathe at night but night air? The
choice is between pure night air from
without and foul air from within.
Most people prefer the latter-an un-
accountable choice. What will they
say if it is proved 10 be true that fully
one-half of all the diseases we suffer
from are occasioned by people sleeping
with their windows shut. An open
window most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest
to be had in twenty-four hours. One
could better understand shutting the
windows in towns during the day than
during the night for the sake of the
sick. The absence of smoke. the quiet.
all tend to make the night air the bes'
time for airing the patient. Always
air your room. then. from the outside,
if possible. Windows are made to
open, doors are made to shut-a truth
which seems extremely difficult of APP

from without, every passage from
within.-Sanitary World.

CANADA'S GOVERNMENT.

The Dominion Supporting More LegIsla-
tors Than the Mother Country.
Some person with taste for statist-
les has been examining the salary list
OF the Dominion, and finds that the
small population of Canada pays enor-
mously to support cumbersome Off
cial machine, of which it's more liberal
people are gradually becoming very
weary. 1t is often laughingly re-
marked in England that Canada must
have vast deal of legislation to at
tend to, since she finds it necessary to
have fifty-six legislators more than
the mother country, and so many de-
partmental heads that no Canadian
outside of politics can tell their num-
Der.
The Canadian Commons consists of
2l5 members, who draw 81 900 per
session, and the Senate. which has lit
tie to do except to look wise, has
eighty members who receive $1,000
each annually. The Speakers of each
house of the immensely overpaid Ma
tional Legislature receive $4,000 an
nually; the Ontario members and
Speakers. SOC, the Quebec Legis-
lative Council, Legislature and the
two Speakers, $4,000. Then the
country is saddled with Governor
General, who receives $4,000 an
nually and spends as little as posi-
BILE in the country. sending to England
for even the smallest articles of daily
wear and consumption. His chief
business seems to be not to comply
with the wishes of the people when
ever he has chance to show his au-
thority. There are also Lieutenant
Governors of Quebec and Ontario and
Manitoba. Nova Scotia. New Bruins
wick, the Northwest Territories and
Prince Edward Island, each of whom
receive a larger salary than is given
to the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. And as a
fringe around this circle of costly
officials, many of whom are utterly
useless. there is small army of paid
aides-de-camp, secretaries. ETC., who
have abundant perquisites. The idea
of country like the Dominion hav-
ing forty-seven political ministers
is certainly somewhat absurd. Boston

SUBSTANTIAL FLOORS.
How to Make Them So That They Will Be
Handsome as Well as Durable.

How to Make Them So That They Will BE
Handsome as Well as Durable.
Nothing attracts the attention of
person wishing to rent or purchase a
store room, dwelling or Office so quick
ly as a handsome, well-laid floor, and a
few suggestions on the subject, though
not new, may not be out of place.
The best floor for the least money
can be made of yellow pine. if the ma
terial is carefully selected and prop
erly laid.
First, select edge grain yellow pine,
and not too fat" clear of pitch. knots,
sap and split. See that it is thorough
ly seasoned and the tongues and
grooves exactly match. so that when
laid the upper surfaces of each board
are on level. This is an important
feature often overlooked. and planning
mill operatives frequently get careless
in adjusting the tonguing and groov-
ing bits. If the edge of floor
ing board, especially the grooved edge,
is higher than the edge OF the next
board, no amount of mechanical inge-
nuity can make a neat floor of them.
The upper part of the groove will con-
tinue to curl upward as long as the
floor lasts.
Surprising, o. course, the sleepers or
joists are properly placed the right
distance apart. and their upper edges
precisely on level and securely
braced, the most important part of the
job is to ''lay' the flooring correctly.
This part of the work is never, or very
rarely ever, done nowadays. The
system in vogue with carpenters of
this day of laying one board at time,
and ''blind mailing" it, is the most
glaring fraud practiced in any trade.
They drive the tongue of the board
into the groove of the preceding one
by pounding on the grooved edge with
naked hammer, making indentations
that let in the cold air or obnoxious
gases, if it is a bottom floor, and then
nail it in place by driving six-penny
nail at an angle of about so degrees in
the groove. An awkward blow or two
chips off the upper of the groove, and
the last blow, designed to sink the
nail head out of the way of the next
tongue, splits the lower part of the
groove to splinters, leaving an un-
slightly opening. Such mailing does
not fasten the flooring to the Sleep
erS, and the slanting nails very often
wedge the board so that it does not
bear on the leeper.-Scientific Amer
