Food for the Mind.

Have something for the mind to
feed upon. something to look forward
to and live for besides the round of
daily labor or the counting of profit
and loss. Ii you have not any talent
for writing splendid works on politi-
cal economy or social science, or the
genius for creating good story or a
line poem, the next best thing--and,
in fact, almost as good thing--is to
possess an appreciation Of these things.
So have good books and good news
papers, and read them. If only in
s,satches, and talk about them 81 din

Feather Factories.

The feather cleaning industry engages
several large factories at Mannheim, Ger
many. The factories are worked BY steam !,
use enormous machinery. and employ hun
dreds of hands in the preparation of feath-
ers for market. The feathers come in great
quantities from Russia, Austria and other
parts OF Europe, as we'll as parts of Asia,
China, especially sending vast quantities,
which are invariably in very dirty condi-
tion. The feathers come into the factory in
large bales, which are opened near kind
Of gin or breaker, which shakes out the
feathers and filings them around in cham.
Der through which constant current of air
is blowing. From this machine they go to
another, in which. by means of ventilators,
separation of the short and light feathers
from the long and heavy is made. Stage
after stage the feathers fly through different
machines, each machine separating the light
from the heavier, until the most delicate,
flaky showdown is flung out into a large
chamber. The feathers are cleansed by be-
ing placed in large steam-heated boiler,
into which steam is projected and made to
cleanse every particle OF dirt from the feath-
ers. Long before they have time to be wet
through by the steam dry air is injected
from one side, while suction currents draw
off every particle OF dust or dirt loosened by
the steam.

Keeping Walls Dry.

A valuable method of keeping walls dry
is given in recent issue of the London
Architect. It consists in using two washes
or solutions for covering the surface of the
walls, one composed of CASTLE soap and one
of alum and water. The proportions are
three-quarters of pound of soap to one gal
lon OF water, and half pound of alum to
four gallons of water, both substances to be
perfectly dissolved in water before being
used. The walls should be perfectly clean
and dry, and the temperature of the air not
above 800 Fahrenheit when the compost
tions are applied. The first, or soap wash,
should be laid on when boiling hot, with
fiat brush, taking care to form troth on
the brick work. This wash should remain
"a hours, so as to become dry and hard be-
fore the second. or alum wash, is applied,
which should be done in the same manner
as the first. The temperature of this wash,
when applied, should be 600 or 700 Fahren-
heit, and this also should remain "a hours
before second coat OF the soap wash is put
on. These coats are to be applied alter
nately until the walls are made impervious
to water. "he alum and soap thus COM
bined form an insoluble compound. filling
the pores of the masonry and entirely pre-
venting the water from entering the walls.

Running European Steamers.

Reliable data concerning the cost of run
ming the fast European steamers have hith-
erto been difficult to obtain. Some statistics
of the voyage of the Normannia, the magnifi-
cent addition to the Hamburg-American
line, have been collected, and as the figures
apply practically TO run of the City of
Paris from New York to Liverpool, they
are interesting. When the Normannia
starts on an Eastward voyage she carries
nearly 5000 tons of coal in her bunkers, and
it costs about So so per ton. The stokers
daily shovel into her furnaces between 25O
and 300 tons. The expenditure for coal ap-
proximates 81 900 day, or $1,000 for the
voyage. All expenses included. it may be
said that one trip of the Normannia costs
its owners not less than $25, 900. The re-
ceipts from all classes of passengers on a
good midsummer trip are over $50, 900. Usu-
ally the Normannia carries 800 tons of
freight, which, at the transportation rate OF
about $40 a ton, amounts to $8, 200.

Insect Interference With Railways.

Well authenticated stories of trains being
stopped by grasshoppers have often been
told, and not long since the passengers were
driven from train by Junebugs. A new
aggressive element is now recorded in the
shape of swarm of bees. The offenders
in this case came buzzing out from a neigh
boring farm and alighted on the tender be-
hind the engine of freight train, as it
stopped at station to take water. The en-
gineer and his assistant promptly made
tracks for the waiting room of the station,
but the fireman, who was busy shifting coal,
was in an instant covered with the insects.
Half mad with pain he jumped off the
tender and rolled in the grass at the road
side. Presently the time for starting the
train arrived, but the bees held the fort, and
the situation became serious. A bright
idea, however, struck the engineer, and
quietly securing possession of the adjustable
hose with which the engineers are accus-
toned to clean up their cabs, he got the drop
on the bees and turned on them a steady
stream Of cold water. The effect was mag
ical, the entire swarm took to their wings
and left the train to resume its journey.
