Uses of Heat.

A writer in a Western paper for ladies'
makes the following points:
When shall we have the oil furnaces. heat
ed by kerosene and yapor. the hydrogen fuel
which gives such flow Of heat, controlable
as a garden hose; The stoves heated III this
way are a boon The six gallon can Of oil on
the wall feeds oil through a quarter-inch pipe
10 a cylinder in the stove, where Jet OF
water il converted into steam and mlngles
with the fame, trebling the heat Of kerosene
alone.
The idea is perfectly adaptable to furnaces.
and when il is in use, goodbye 10 cold houses
and spring chills. People will not be in a
hurry 10 put out the furnace fires for the sake
of getting lid OF their care, for all they re-
ouire Is to keep the feed-can filed once in two
DAYS, and turn the stOpcock as you desire q
large fire or one Just low enough 10 keep the
walls from losing heat. Then, when cool
evening shuts down on a warm day, there IL
no worry and fuss of building fires or starting
the furnace 10 heat n cold house Turn on the
oil. and ten minutes will find the house snug
and warm as ever.
Still. any one who knows much can run a
common furnace with very little fuel IN tickle
weather. so as 10 keep it on call for chill even
ings and cold snaps.
III YOU want a specific against colds and all
the 'greefes" attending them. always go TO
bed warm Sit over the register in nightdress
for half an hour till all the joints are thor
oughly heated and supplied. and perspiration
starts gently. If you have any particular
aches in any part of the trunk, have a hot
sOapstone or bag of hot sand TO apply and
sleep with it. Your hot-water compress is a
fraud. wears ont too easily and vets the bed 4;
ANYHOW II doesn't keep hot long enough to
pay for the trouble of filling.
When will druggists keep the nice thin slab
of soapstOne or white porIs brick with cover
Of cartridge paper and flannel, or the sand
| bag and cover which keep hot-not lukewarm,
but hot-till you get up in the morning?
Ii Won have q cold on the chest the hot
sandbag is the best thing applied over the
dungs. Aches of the abdomen fly before a
thorough henting by hot stone, and hot
flannel or silk after, and one of the best RENE
dies for the sleeplessness OF nervous persons
is 10 lay hot soapstone against the stomach
on going 10 bed.
Another thing, no better relief for the
malalse of dyspepsia exists than TO apply this
hot comfort 10 the stomach for ten or fifteen
minutes after eating. Ii stimulates the flow
of the digestive secretiOns and draws the
blood where it il needed. Heat is a great
medicine for all diseases.
Lastly. dyspeptic and fatulent persons find
great relief by wearing the little Japanese
handwarmers, which burn bit Of punk, for
hours over the stomach or below it when dis
comfort occurs. This sort of hot compress
can be resorted TO in offices or whore other
appliances is impossible. as the whole affair is
about the size OF card case. Sea captains
and business men wear them under their
coats women hide them in their dresses and
avoid many a pain and annoyance by IT.

Method of Taking Care of the Complexion.
Shirley Dare writing in a recent number Of
the Louisville Courier-Journal thus refers 10
the recent Woman's Convention in Washing
ton:
"Of course the Woman's Convention at
Washington can not get on without its little
fling at the frivolity of cosmetics and the
women who use them.
The convention represented, perhaps, fifty
thousand women at liberal guess. What
are they 10 do for the five million good wives,
mothers and girls who do their duty OF indi-
vidual responsibility Of their own notion

badge 10 remind them Ct II. and who are not

The women who do the right and pleasant

God and good mothers who keep their pOise

States as vet. and the convention mOngers

is TO concentrate influence and power in the

while as for wrinkles you might have the ser

That they were here merely as matter OF

4 Feminine Carpenter.

a plucky and independent girl is Miss
Elizabeth More, Of Edgeworth, Pa.
With her w hands she recently built a
neat little cottage, laying the founda-
tons, plastering the walls of the differ
ent room and performing all the car
penter work to a builders taste. To do
this she found it necessary to don male
attire, and a young girl friend helped
her over the hardest part of the work.
Miss More is said to be as pretty as she
is energetic. She was once a protege of
Jane Gray SWisshelm, and the lessons
that stern champion of woman's rights
taught her apparently have not been for

Articles Lifted by Electricity.

1t is q well known scientific fact that a
ruler made of hard rubber or gutta percha
may be so charged with electricity by
friction with a wooden cloth that it will
cause to be attracted to it small pieces of
paper. This fact has been made use Of
in a machine devised 10 pick up separate

a n that each sheet may be re-

consists of a roller formed Of a substance
capable of being charged with electricity
and a roller covered with fur, which is
rotated at high speed.
During the operation the electrified
roller approaches the pile Of paper by the
action Of an eccentric, and attracts the

Dwarfs Live to a Great Age.

Contrary to their huge rivals in in
t%erest, dwarfs frequently attain great
age. Richebourg, who died in Paris in
1858, was ninety years old. He was
only twenty-three inches high, some
thing less than the stature of our own
most celebrated dwarf, General Tom
Thumb. The first English dwarf Of
whom there is authentic record was only
II feet high till thirteen years of age,
though he afterWard attainej the height
of 3 feet 0 inches. This was Jeffrey
Hudson, who was presented to Queen
Henrietta by the Duchess Of Bucking-
ham.
Hudson on that occasion surprised the
company by stepping out of a pie. He
is said to have fought two duels-one
with a turkey cock and one with a Mr..
Crofts, whom he shot and killed. Hud-
son died in his sixty-third year in the
Gate House prison, having been accused
as a conspirator in the popish plot

A TWILIGHT SONG.

The thrush has piDed his last clear note
To herald twilight's hour,
And fragrant breezes gently float
Around your silent bower.
Now drops the dusky robe of Night,
And, clasping it above.
One jeweled star shines clear and bright
1t is the Star of Love!
Yet cold and cherries seems its ray,
Sweetheart! while you are far away.
The fountain, like a fairy Lutte,
In tinkling cadence falls;
And through the wood, with ftful boot,
His mate the owlet calls.
The crescent moon behind the hill
Crceps UP. with silvery light;
Yet round your bower l linger still,
While evening grows to night,
And count each weary hour a day,
Sweetheart! while you are far away.

The Man from Maine Has a Say About
the Presidency.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The Herald's spe-
cial from Washington says James G.
Blaine will soon after the first of the new
year notify his friends and admirers who
are o urging his nomination for the
presidency, that under no circumstance
could he accept such an honor, and that
he is for the denomination and election
of Benjamin Harrison.
The information is given on the au-
thority of a man whose name is national
and whose position as a friend of Harri-
son and Blaine is unquestioned.
The situation as here given has been
known to the president for some time
and Mr.. Blaine postpones the notification
for good reasons.
