Keen the TUWE Clean.

All doctors agree that decaying vegetation
is unhealthy. and calculated to breed dis
ease, yet one may find on our streets wafer
melon rinls scattered everywhere. The
town council should forbid the throwing o;
melon rinds into the streets, and instruct
the police TO report or arrest those persons
that persist IN scattering any disease-nak-
ing material about our town. II the coUn-
ell finds this suggestion impracticab!c, per-
hans it would be we'll fo" t!:c:::... - request
persons owning hogs to turn them out IN
order that all unwholesome garbage may be
gotten out Of the way. Our town IS as
healthy as any town in the State, and for
that very reason we cannot guard its health
too iealously. Anything calculated to in
lure the health of the town should be pro-

The instrument which is known e

the Beck International, cost $16,5O, and has all the movements that can possibly be obtained for it's manipula- tion, Nearly every adjustment Is op- erated by rack and pinsion. and the others by equally easy and stable methods. Someidea of the size of the microscope may be obtained by mentioning that the reflector, which carries level and concave mirrors is three-and-a-inches in diameter. Every revolution Of the instrument around the stage which is sufficiently heavy to give freedom and tirmness, Is graduat- ed to degrees. The case for the instru- ment is a carefully finished mahogany box, with mountings of polished brass. In 1t are three small cases of mahos- any, filled with what is considered every conceivable device for magni- flying objects or retiecting light.
 Notable among the accessories is a polariscope arranged especially to reg istor the angle from crystals under ex- animation. There are fourteen objec- tives or lenses to complete the outfit and to increase the power of the in- strumentfrom 10diameterst 10, ,000. There are also eight additional eye pieces to decrease orincrease power as wanted, and an eye piece mierometer with cObweb adjustment. The Sorbys microspectroscope Is so arranged as to tit neatly upon the eye piece of the ln- strument for spectroscopic analysis and together with the goniometer and dieuroiseope, together with over 100 additional pieces of apparatus, go to complete the outfit.

Notes on Ludrication.

In some practical notes on lubri- cation F. Kuhne says in the Electrical Railway Advertiser; Great care should be taken to keep cylinder oil free from all dust or flying particles. The smallest quantity of gritty matter may cause trouble, delay, and con- siderable expense should it happen to get into your cylinder, The une of a galvanized iron oil cabinet, which can be kept entirely closed, will obivate this difficulty. Knights American mechenical dictionary says. "1'he re- quisltes of good lubricant arc, that 1t must endure the heat of melted lead without change in order to stand friction and lubricate the cylinders of steam engines The heat under pres sure of l5O pounds of steam is enough to decompose or distil any vegetable or animal oil in the market. They must be fixed and not volatile. other wise they are decomposed by friction and burned or dried up. They mu st not show or possess acid reaction either naturally or artihcially; otherwise bolts are cut in the steam chest. and the iron, particularly wrought iron, is made porous. They must possess Il sufficient power of tenacity W thout oxidation otherwise they will gum"

Some People Never Learn.

It is surprising how some people will continue to use things in daily lifo without any attempt to learn how prop erly to use them. There is, for in- stance, the man who can never learn how to sharpen his razor, the woman who winds her watch the wrong way, the people who do not know that tho time of starting the principal trains oD the different railroads and the time de closing the mails is advertised in tho newspapers, the people who blow out the gas, the folks ,sho jump tho wrong way from moving car, the unfortun- ates who are always getting left CT suffering injury or losing property be- cause of unfamiliarity with things they ought to know.

Modern sannpsons,

March 2S. ls4l. Thomas Thompson lifted three barrels of water weighing together 1886 pounds He also put an iron bar on his neck, seized hold of it's two ends. and bent it until tho lat ter met. On another occasion he raised with his teeth, table six feet long, supporting tt it's further end n weight of 100 pounds. He also tore without serious effort rope of di- ameter of two inches. and lifted a hoSe over n bar. Some years ago . negro appeared in London who. with one hand and his arm out straight, lifted from the ground chair on which was seated a full-gown man having on Iris lap child. It is on record that a German called Buchholz lifted with his teeth cannon weighing about POO pounds. and fired it of in that position
 While performing at Epernay, in France, the same feat tho barrel of the gun burst. Miraculously he was not killed. although several of the fragments were thrown over fifty yards away. There are stories of other stIouk uAcu Wub Q1u HUI upPtttt III pup lie. A butcher lived in South HollanI who killed calves by strangling them. A Dutch count in private entertain ment, bent m iron bar by beating 1t with his right hand against his left arm, protected by a leather bandage. bending it afterward straight again by beating 1t tho other way. Charles Louvicr, n carpenter of Paris. found it child's play to roll tin basin between his fingers into cylinder. On ono occa- sion he carried oil soldier on guard who had gone to sleep in tho sentry box. dcpositing both on low chuch- yard wall close by. An equally anus ing story is told of Dane. Knut kundson. . locksmith. who. while standing in window on the ground floor, lifted with ono hand half a bull lock from tho shoulder of butcher who was toiling past with his load.

New Type Brush,

Seldom does an invention isceive such welcome as will be given by the thousands of typewritters through out this country and abroad, to n device which effectively serves he pur- pose of saving the loss of time and patience and the sme1rlug of the fingers and injury to the alignment in- volved in the orninary method of cleaning the type of the typewriting machine. An invention has just been brought out which claims to do all this, and 1t consists of a hard brush applied at right angles to the type bar When in place, the rotating brvsh is held directly over the type co tire, SO that by pressing any key ths type Is brought into contact with the crush. 1t IS cleaned almost in stantly, when 1t is released and an other key is struck, and so onuntil all are cleaned One hand turns the crank, while the other presses down the keys in order until all are finished. When not in use the whole attach. ment is swung out of the way, and it can be at any moment readjusted in a.. instant. If this attachment meets the prevalent want of a handy and effective type cleaner it will be pro- nounced success.

Well Posted Girl.

Their faces were radiant with the spring time oflife as they strolled down one of the paths past thecapitol, says the Washington Post.
 "I think it's real mean the way Eng land Is acting about sealskin sacques, said Maud.
 'So do |" replied Mamie.
 "Humph; l suppose you know @ great deal about it2'
 Well I know that Mir. Blaine wants England to stop fishing for seals in the Behring sea; he's threatened to build a fence or something around 1t so as to make 1t closed sea, and England is going to get an injunction from the supreme court to stop the fence. It's wonderful how much trouble fences make when they get into court" said Mamie thoughtfully.
 And Maud looked at her in wonder ing admiration, and exclaimed: Honestly, Mamie, don see how you, manage to keep so well posted" i"

Amer can Girls Supreme,

Rutlyard Kip!mg has been very severely scored by the press on ae- count of his criticisms of us and onr cust ons and manners. But the ladies certainly have no reason to iind flul, with this comparison made between them and those of other countries. Kipling says;
 Sweet and comedy are the maidcns of DeVonshire; delicate and of gr e. ous seeming those who live in the pleasant places of London; faseinat- ing for all their demureness the dam sels of France, clinging elolycs to thelr mothers and with large eyes wonder ing at the wicked world; excellent in her own place and to those who under stand her is the Anglo-lndian spin in her second season; but the girls of America are above and beyond them all. They are clever, they can talk-yea. 1t is said that they think Certainly they have an appearance of so doing which is delightfully."- decept- i've.
 They are original, and regard you between the brows with unabashel eyes as sister might look at her brother. They are instructed, too, in the folly and vanity of the male mind, for they have associated wi,h "the boys from babyhood and can discerniAgly minister to both vices or pleasantly snub the possessor. They possess, moreover, a life among them selves, independent ot any masculine associations. They have societies and clubs and unlimited tea fights where all the guests are girls. They are self-possessed without parting with any tenderness that Is their sex right; they understand; they can take care of themselves; they are supremely independent. When you ask them what makes them so charming, they say
 1t Is because we are better educat- ed than your girls, and-and we are more sensible in regard to men. We have good times all round, but wt aren't taught to regard every man as possible husband. Nor is he expect ed to marry the first girl he calls on regularly"
 Yes, they have good times, their | freedom IS large and they do not abuse i 1t. They cango driving with youngmer and receive visits from young men to an extent that would make an English mother wink with horror, and neither driver nor drivee has thought be yond the enjoyment of q good time As certain, also, of their own poets | have said.--
 | Man is fire and woman is tow. And the devil he comes and begins to blow
 In America the tow is soaked in 6 solution that makes it fire proof, 1T absolute liberty and large knowledge consequently accidents do not exceed the regular percentage arranged by the devil for each class and climate under the skies.
