The Aerophor.

In weaving sheds humid atmosphere is
of equal Importance, otherwise there is q
continual breaking of threads and other
prejudicial occurrences. The necessary
diffusion OF moisture has hitherto been Sc
cured at the expense of the comfort, and
even the health of the factory hands, by
the projection of steam into the atmos-
phere and by dampening the floors with
water. In either case damage is caused to
the machinery and buildings, while an un-
healthy atmosphere is created in which
the operatives are Obliged to work. In or
der to obviate all this the aerophor has
been invented by German engineer, and
Is largely in use in Germany. The aerophor
is an apparatus for distributing moisture
in the form of very fine water cloud,
which may be either cold or warm. The
apparatus, which Is not large, contains no
movable parts, and a single pressure pump
can work any number of aerophors.
The contrivance, which is fixed Just un-
der the ceiling at given points, consists OF
two separate MOBILES, one for propelling the
air by creating an induced current, and
the other for moistening it, A Jet of water
under pressure is projected through hori-
zontal nozzle into a casing in which there
is vertical nozzle. The jet from the hori-
zontal nozzle causes the induced current
of air to act upon the water entering the
casing at its upper part through the verti-
cal nozzle. The water is passed into the
atmosphere in the form of fine diffusive
cloud, the large drops of water being caught
and retained by the apparatus. The aero
phor will only project into the atmosphere
such particles of water as are capable OF
being absorbed Immediately, so that dam
age TO the machinery or fabric is impossible
In the same way, the atmosphere not being
unprecedented. there is no injury tc
health.-London Times

Educate the Girls

Educate the girls, says an exchange,
"and the boys will soon be there" They
will, indeed, if the girls are tolerably good
looking. And they won't wait until the
course of instruction is fully completed
either. have known a young man to get
more than half through his counting be-
fore he thought TO ask his girl whether she
had any education or not. So it won't do
to depend too much on such maxims as the
above; they are apt to mislead. Should
the father of an attractive daughter defer
her education, thinking that the boys
would keep away in consequence, he would
find that he had made mistake They
will come just as readily as they would
were she whole female seminary of learn
ing.
Then, on the other hand, if You push the
education of q homely, disagreeable girl
with the utmost diligence, will the boys
"be there" Not much they won't. They
will go around the corner and sit ND with
the pretty girl who never saw the inside of
a school house in her life. This is perhaps
wrong, but it is the way the world goes
with the young and thoughtless. When
Adam was counting the fair Eve, did he in
quire what seminary she graduated FRONT
Did he examine her in arithmetic, English
grammar, logic, geography and the use of
the globesf OF course he didn't. He
didn't care cent whether she knew beans
or not. She wasn't educated, and yet Adam
was there, Eli Education is very good
thing for girls to have, but you can't bank
on it altogether in winning husbands

"The outrage at Canyon City reminds

Coughing and Sneezinr

Nurses have to deal with many cases in
which the effort and muscular contraction
caused by the exertions of sneezing, cough
ing and hiccoughing are very weakening
and trying to be patient. Sneezing is pro
duced by both external and internal causes.
Externally, by particles of irritating dust in
the air and sometimes by sunlight, or in
tense color; internally, by disordered ner-
vons conditions. and it is commonly asso-
ciated with whooping cough, asthma and
govt. Pressure upon the fifth nerve will
often temporarily prevent sneezine-as
pinching the upper lip under the nose. The
application of mustard to the back of the
neck will often relieve it; and in violent
cases an emetic has been used with good
results.
Coughing may be relieved in variety of
ways-and, again, every attempt may avail
nothing; but the nurse should pay especial
attention to the posture of the person. and
learn that position which most removes
the tendency to frequent coughing Again.
coughing may be induced by a tickling
sensation in the throat, which some very
simple soothing mixture or drink may re-
lieve, as slippery elm tea, Irish moss, Iicor-
ice, etc. Then, too, many persons cough
from habit. Many times a little exercise
of will would postpone the effort.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

instance decided to withhold the par
ticulars in order that whatever advan-
tage that might occur to them by Its
suppression might be obtained. In.
stead, however, of beng owlish about
the matter and going at once to work,
they got up and organized and sent
out committees with samples to miners
at Corder, Higginsville and Lexington.
The gentlemen interviewed with one
accord, II seems, cooled their srdor by
giving them estimates of expense in
opening up mines. &c. One expert at
Lexington they claim TO have played q
joke upon. 1t was"thusly:" A sample of
pure Lexington lump coal was pounded

out of our BID inch vein 1.-The party car
rled both samples, but presented to the
expert the Lexington coal for his anali-
cation. In short time The expert pro-
nOunced it blue slate; and now pure
Lexington coal as received by the
Waverly Milling company, 10 figured
out to be pure slate, so says the super

the fellow who drew the 800, 900 prize

And gallant, brave, true man that he
is, he puts aside all past differences.

his sympathies and help are as freely

-yrawiord II is no surprise. A gentle
man OF reiinement,cu culture and chivalry,
;here is no room in his great heart for
petty prejudice or malice.
"There Is movement now being
made In this state which is deserving
OF the kindly consideration of our reo-
pie. We refer 10 the prospective pur-
chase OF suitable grounds and the erec-
