Everlasting Car Wheels.

In an account of the works Of the
Northern Railroad of France it is stated
that they have an ingenious plan in the
interests of economy of making wheels
for cars by bending up seven pieces Of
bar iron in such a shape that the center
fits inside of band OF false felloe.
which, in turn. is hammered into
groove in the tire. Felloe and bar arc
riveted together and the bars bent
round TO the center of the wheel and
their ends then have a mold placed
below them, cast iron is then run in,
forming the hub. which is afterward
bored out and the cast steel axle forced
in by $1,000 to sc, 600 pounds hydraulic
pressure. The life of the center Of the
wheel is said TO be practically intermin-
able under ordinary conditions. and the
cheapness is such that they are nov
adopted almost entirely.

AM INIPORTANT MATTER.


 A Philadelphia physician, Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, has made an interesting and i'm portant study of the transmission of con- sumption. He hae for period of twenty five years carried on an investigation in the Fifth ward of that city and as result of his long study declares that he is con- vinced that fully one-half the cases of tuberculosis among the poor classes origi- nate directly or indirectly in infected houses. A family moves into tenement recently occupied by consumptive, ig- norant of the former presence of the dis ease, and the weakest one among the new corners falls victim, and becomes factor in the further propagation of the malady. Dr. Flick declares that whenever con- sumptive patient dies or is removed from house, itshould be thoroughly disinfected, the room in which the. e.invalid was quar- tered should be scraped and replastered, aud care should be taken that none of the clothing or furniture used by the patient is given away or left for the use of others unless complete disinfection is first ac- complished. Moreover, when house has been thus cleansed, it should be so re- corded at the headquarters of the Health department, in order that another person desiring to occupy it may do 50 without the burden of anxiety or of genuine risk.
 An inquiry similar to that of Dr.. Flick has been conducted during the past few months by the oity physician of Spring field, Massachusetts. He has investigated the conditions of the disease in thickly settled portions of that city and while his researches are not yet finished, it is known that they coroborate the Philadelphia phy sician's statements. He has searched out the houses occupied by consumptive pa tients and by keeping track of the success sive occupants is enabled to reach conclu- sion similar to those of Dr. Flick.
 This ia a very important matter. About a hundred thousand people every year die of consumption in this country.

value of the vessels delayed by a wreck

] value of the vessels delayed by @ wreck
 there recently is estimated at S14, ,O0O, ,000 l and that of their cargoes at $4,000,O00
 At one time seventy lake steam vessels
 were anchored on the east side of the blockade, and sixty on the west side, and a new channel had to be cut through the flats to allow them to continue their ways. Four dredges worked day and night to make channel 700 feet in length, sixty in width and fifty in depth. It is said that the only way to prevent accidents like that which caused the wreck is to limit the speed of vessels in the channel There was the same trouble at the St. Clair flats until men were stationed at the ends of the channel to time the vessels.
 There is lively time in Illinois over the registration of women to vote in tho com ing school elections. A law passed by the last legislature decrees in one section that all women over 21 may vote at such cleo tions, and in another section that any wo- man may so vote who belongs to either of the classes mentioned in a certain article of the constitution. There are three of these classes-one consisting of all who were electors in 1S49; another consisting of those persons naturalized before 1871 :; and third including sssevery male citizen of the United States who has been in the State year." The election commission CTS at Chicago hold that women are not or,raharIo1 in he classes, and the registration judges are in structed to register only those who belong to the second class. But it is held that even if the second class comprehends wo- men as well as men, then those belonging to it may vote at any election, regardless of the school election law.
 A Boston man has discovered how to go to sleep. He says: I close my eyes lightly, and then gently and gradually direct them upward and finally inward, as if I wanted to look into the interior of my own skull. The movement must be gentle and grad ual or the sudden strain on the nerves will give you headache, and sometimes there may be some slight discomfort on the first two or three trials, but it wears off rapid ly. After you have retained your eyes in this position for few moments you feel yourself loosing consciousness of time and place and slowly slipping, with delightful smoothness and kind of dreamy softness, out of the present. I invariably have the one sensation, that of floating in a boat on gently rocking pillows that are moving easily away. The process is really kind of self-hypnotism, and while you are per forming it your mind is unable to take up any thread of thought or memory or pre- sent to itself any picture other than the one that the process itself supplies. It is very singular thing, and find that near ly all my acquaintances can repeat after me the self-hypnotic movement.

'Auld Licht Idylls," by J. NJ.

These quaint and sturdy characters are sketched in MT.

The Woodcoek.

From Blackwood's Magazine.
 All waders can swim if they are pushed to it; the woodcock paddles occasionally. One thing it is now certain he does-he carries the young to and fro from the nest to the feeding grounds. The female alone has been credited with this feat, but be- ieve both parents do the carrying. A woodcock chick is so small the weight would be nothing. Still it is wonderful that it should be done at all.
 In quiet places the mother and her chicks feed by day. This is generally the case when the nest has been formed in or on some dry tuft or tossock, just of the green soft belt of the moorlAnd bogs. I am inclined to believe that in southern counties the woodcock breeds early, for I was once near a female bird and her brood that were running about in and out of some half-melted patches of snow near the edge of forest lands that bordered on the moor. Ii was s fsvorite haunt oi mine, that breeding place of the wOodcocks Many time have I been there when the sun had got behind the great red fir-cor- cred hill, making the whole look like a huge purple mass, with the mists rising HcuAsH AbDRC hl0 hIOulu ll.

His Story Was Quickly Told.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.I
 The young woman had secured permis- sion to speak to the good-looking young convict.
 It was just feminine fancy-a desire to learn something of his story.
 "You don't look like 8 criminal" she said abruptly.
 He smiled at the rather uncertain com pliment.
 sT never did but one criminal thing in my life," he said.
 |'Only oneq" she said in rather disap- pointed tone. She had expected to find a man steeped in crime. "Why, your sen tence is for ten years, isn't it?"
 ''Yes, miss, I got it for that one crimi- nal act"
 ''What was the cause of that one?" she inquired curiously.
 'Just whim, miss-a youthful whim, '' he replied rather bitterly. 'I thought it manly to carry revolver"
 "And you were attacked some nightF she asked quickly. "And you"-
 He shook his head. ''And you're here just for that!" she said. 'Like others, just for that, he returned quietly. 'I quarreled with friend, lost my temper and-Tm here, miss. That's | all" He suddenly turned away and wen back to his work.
