Railway Car Heating by Electricity.

1t is resssuring to know that the
deadly car stove" which has played
such a CHASTITY part in hundreds of TRACE
dies, will soon be seen no more An ad-
mirable system of electric heating for
cars has been invented, which is so cheap
and easily operated that its universal
adoption is simply matter of time.
The railway company on whose road
this system has been tested by a course
of practical work speaks of it in the
highest terms, and the travelling public
is not less gratiied at the comfort and
safety which is now assured. After the
sad experience Of the dirty and gaseous
condition Of the average coal heated car,
the absolute cleanliness and absence Of
odors, together with the even tempera-
ture of car electrically heated. is q
revolution in modern car heating New

Five thousand long green watermelons

board inclosure served as a table. on
which the melons, sliced by big knives
into halves, were laid. only to be eager

people, who lined the tables as close as
they could stand. The only restrictions
were numerous rudely painted signs

Copper and Aluminium.

Copper fused with tin forms bronze, an
aEoy known from remote antiquity. Bronze
into which aluminium enters as an element
takes on variety of new properties. 1t is
as strong as steel. and because IL resists
corrosion is an admirable material for pro-
peller blades and rudder frames in ship
building. Its high price has hi0herto re-
stricted its use, but as aluminium grows
constantly cheaper and economies are in
troduced in the production of the electric
current by which the alloy is made, its ap-
plications are steadily increasing. g.-Youth's

Nay. speak no i'll; a kindly word

And OIL to breathe each tale we've hearI
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft a better seed is sown

For if but little good be known
Still let Us speak the best we can.

Would fain another's fault efface;
How can it pleasure human pride
To prove humanity but base?
No, lot US reach higher mood,

Be earnest in the search for good,
And speak of all as best we can.
Then speak no i'll, but lenient be
To others failings as your own;
If you're the first fault to see,

Let's speak of all the best we can.

An exciting wild cat chase took

A PROBABLE CANDIDATE.

Any good Democrat, says the
Quincy Daily Journal, is stronger in
New York than New Yorker is, on
account Of the miserable divisions and
fractional quarrels within the party in
that State. Palmer would be stronger
than Cleveland. We do not lose
New York by nominating q Western
man. We increase probabilities of
carrying it for the Democratic ticket.
Palmer would be as strong in the
East us Cleveland-and stronger in
the West than he would be. There
is rot State in the Union in which
Palmer would not be as strong as
Cleveland, and in all the Western
States, as we'll as in New York, he
would be stronger. In 1883 Palmer
ran some eight or ten thousand votes
ahead of Cleveland in this State-and
he was Il candidate for Governor only.
Palmer would be ten or fifteen
thousand votes stronger in Illinois as
u Presidential candidate than he
would be as a Gubernatorial candi-
date. We are confident that Palmer
is considerably stronger in the West
than Mr.. Cleveland is. Illinois
Democrats from this day until the
next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency is nominated should have
no other candidate for th at Offica than
John Nj. Palmer.

Seeing how as Jerry muzzles a district
in which there is no more show for Dem
ocrat than for full-winged angel in hades
we would say let him have the necessary
Democratic votes, by all means. He isn't
worth a picayuBe to Democracy except in
solar as he is a thorn in the side of the 6.
o. p. of Kansas but that is a whole lot in a
presidential year-Springfeld Democrat.
Yes, that seems to be the Democratic
idea. The 6. o. p. being the formidable
barrier to Democratic success, the latter
will submit to any sort OF insults and IN
dignities and will turn to hex the hand
that smites them if by sodoing they can
compass the defeat of their implacable
and permanent enemy. No Republican
has ever uttered one half the bitter IN
vectives against the Democratic party
that Simpson and his following ana
party organs have; yet it is next to GER
tain that the Democracy OF this district
will next year be found trailing along
after Simpsons now silk encased, but
then bare, shanks supporting him Tor

Protection Against Furnace Heat.

The protection of worknen from fur.
mace heat, as practiced at the Menden
and Schwerte iron works, in Westphalia,
is said to be by means of rectangular
iron screen hung from an overhead rail,
which can be made to cover the whole
working side of the furnace, or can be
pushed aside when not required or when
it interferes with the work going ON.
The lower end is bent into gutter, hay-
ing slight fall in the direction of its
length, and the upper edge is provided
On the inside, that nearest the furnace,
with a pipe bored through with small
holes about three-quarters of an inch
apart, which is in connection with the
service pipe supplying water for cooling
the sides Of the bed.
When In use, the inside of the place is
kept constantly wet from the supply
pipe, the small jets trickling down to
the cooling bosh at the side; a notch at
the bottom is left for the passage of tie
rabble, and short inclined plate is pro.
vided for the cinders to run over; with
these exceptions the whole surface is
screened by the water cooled plate. 1t
is said that this arrangement, which
was first applied experimentally to a
few furnaces, has worked go satisfacto-
rily that it has been fitted to ali the pnd-
ding furnaces in the works named, the
operatives being thus enabled to work
full time even in the hottest weather.

WATER AS AHEALTH CONSERVATION.


It May Be Used Internally as Well 80 Ex-
ternaily with Good Results.
The internal use of water is subject
about which physicians have had much
discussion, and about which not all doc
tors are agreed It's value a. an agency
for the prevention and removal of dis
eased conditions is, therefore, too little
understood. Judiciously used, water taken
internally may be made one of the most
important factors in the preservation Of
good health and physical vigor.
Nearly every case of Inflammation and
irritation of the bladder may by the prac-
tice of copious water drinking, especially
on the empty stomach, be palliated TO
sach extent as to cease TO give even annoy
ancs.
Nothing that can be taken into the
stomach viii better eonduce to keep it and
the general system in a healthy state than
pint of water about the summer temper
allure of hydrant water, drank from one
half TO three-quarters of an hour before
breakfast
The first few swallows should be small
and within few seconds intervals Of each
other, but the last half should be taken in
as large gulps as possible, with the body
erect and chest well thrown out.
The principal benefit derivable from this
practice is perhaps the mechanical flushing
out of the undigested contents and the abb
sorption of the additional water into tina
circulating system, although some Of the
good effects may be attributable to the
small quantity of the secretions of the
mouth, which is incidentally carried down,
and the local tonic influence of the water.
Whatever may be the rationale OF this
treatment its efficacy as promoter and
preserver of health is second to none. The
body should not be prone again for at least
three-quarters of an hour after drinking.
The temperature OF the water may, as q
matter Of tast, be disagreeahle at first,
but that objection will soon become insig-
nificant before a little resolution There
is no situation in which irmness with ones
disinclinations may be more proftably ap-
piled.
Very hot or very cold water should not
be taken upon an empty stomach. The
practice of drinking hot water just before
meals, which prevailed extensively short
while ago, has fallen into merited disre-
pute.
The stomach does not until after long
time recover from the facilitating effects Of
a drink of very hot water imposed upon it
while empty. Hence no food should be
taken into it Immediately after such q
draft.-New York Mail and Express.
