AlOIine-s Baden-Haden.

DR.. Charles A. Champion. of Washing
ton, D. G, has completed chemical an
alysis OF the water in the Walker mineral
spring in East Moline. which is believed
to possess great medicinal virtue. DR..
CHAMPION is chemist in government
employ and is therefore 8 competent man
to do the work. A sample of the water
being sent him by Mr.. Walker, he made
a qualitative examination, and gives tie
following results: There were large de-
posts of iron, but no sulphur; 7.45
grains of chloride of soda common salt)
and about the same amount of carbonate
of lime. There were also present various
other salts usually found in spring or well
waters, such as carbonate of msgnesia,
sulphate of soda, etc, in various proper
tons. The chemist in conclusion says:
Your spring can properly be called q
'chaly beate' spring, no doubt, for there
must be considerable iron in solution in
the water when it issues from the ground
Iron is good for many things, and sup
pose this must be the explanation of its
remarkable curative properties"

Not so Fast After All.

People who complain that the electric
cars are run too fast should watch a horse
and buggy running alongside a car. A
fairly smart but not EXCEPTIONALLY fast
horse gong along the streets, generally
goes faster than the cars, but no one
growls about the horse and buggy. The
fact is that the car, moving along so
nicely, with. apparently, no power at
tsched to it, seems to go much faster than
it really does. Watch smart horse and
you will see how it is yourself. --Daven-

Sarah Bornhardt. in which the great

writes: "My food did not seem to

was yellow, my head dull, and had
such pains in my left side. In the

have a flow of mucus in the mouth,

my breath became short, and I had
such queer, turnbling, palpitatiug

all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. 1t seemed to be worse

They may be the germs of smallpox,

If life were not so bad thing,
Who then could think of being merry.
If Gods will would bear altering,
His plans we should not try to vary
Were we once free from pain and care,
We straight would seek some cross to bear

How many seals would then be broken!

How many kind words would be spoken !.
If Heaven were once denied us ALL
How we should then to Heaven call!

Enormous HORSEPOWER.

enormous k1OFSc"RO"CE.
The Iron Age New York; says: ut
is very easy matter to talk about 49,
600 or 20, 900 horse power, but few per-
sons realize what it means or the
enormous force that it exerts. The
new White Star steamships, for instance,
or the Inman Lines City of New York
develop from $4,000 to 10000 horse
power. They have twelve boilers and
seventy-two furnaces, worked with
forced draft. Assuming that the
engines will require eighteen pounds of
steam per horse per hour, then 100 tons
of feed must be pumped into the boilers
every hour, and 100 tons of steam will
pass through the engines IN the same
time. In twenty-four hours the feed
water will amount to 3, $40 tons occupying
100, 240 cubic feet. This amount Of water
would fill a length of 493 feet of canal 40
feet wide and : feet deep. Taking the
condensirg water at thirty times the
feed water, it will amount to $500 tons
per hour, or 115, POO tons in twenty-tour
hours, or for a siX-day transatlantic run
not less than 69l POO tons, or q, $50, 900
cubic feet. This amout of water would
fill cubcal tank 295 feet on each side
a tank into which the Roman Catholic
Cathedral. steeples and all or the Times
building, could be put and completely
covered up, The coal consumption is
not less interesting. -Four hundred
tons a day are burned on the 10000
horsepower pressure. This would fill
400 wagons. 1t requires for its combus-
ton 5000 tons of air, occupying a space
of 300, 336, 900 cubic feet. 1t is impossl-
bic to put these figures in a shape such
that may be grasped by TIE average
reader, but enough has been cited to
show, nevertheless, that the circulating
pumps and fan engines of such ships
are a hard working lot"

Central Depot, was the constant resort
of many persons coming in by the
trains. Mr.. Garrison re piled: I don't
want to keep them out. Some of them
will take rooms here, some of them will
go to the bar, some will patronize the
restaurant, and if they do not do SO to-
day they may some other day, or send
their friends here
Mr.. Sprague continued: Il am max
ing large alterations and improvements
of this character myself. l am doing
this, of course, for the accommodation
of my guests, but as the keeper of a
public house | must expect, and do ex
pect, that the public will in some degree
use my house. If find anybody who
is an undesirable person, who either
habitually or occasionally Or even once,
visits my hotel, shall not stand upon
ceremony in asking him to leave. AS
indication to the visitor that his pres
ence is not desired will be sufficient
to relieve us. It is very common
thing for strangers to come in and
request the privilege of using our con-
veniences, which we always cheerfully
grant. But we have no room for buns
and loafers and frauds Of any kind, and
we feel justified in protecting ourselves
from imposition by them. It is, how
ever, impossible to station man at the
door Of a hotel and to ask every person
who enters the nature of his business, or
to undertake to keep out every one
who is not strictly entitled to enter.
At the same time l believe it to be the
universal practice, while keeping a
lookout for impostors, to do ltas quietly
and unobtrusively as possible without
making scenes and without creating
disturbances which might be unpleasant
to our guests. AS to the toilet room, 1
have placed man there with instruc-
tons to protect the guests as far as
and for keeping the place clean, | give
him the privilege of keeping a boot
blacks stand there. He seems to con-
slider himself we'll paid, and | guess
makes So or Sc days sometimes"
The use Of hotels as places of resort
and lounging is undoubtedly peculiar to
this more than to any other country,
and it seems to be more the result Of
habit than of any neglect of the pro-
prietors to protect their guests. The
newest hotels have not adopted any pre-
cautions that have not heretofore been
put in practice by other hotel proprie-
tors. These small impostors form 8
portion Of the great army of hotel
beats" for whom the hotel proprietor
is constantly on the lookout. They rank
with the unwelcome customers who
empty the sugar bowls in restaurants,
who consume inordinate amounts of free
lunches, and in other ways impose up
on the liberality of keepers Of places of
public resort. Where they make their
appearance they are pretty sure to be
spotted by lynx-eyed walters or superin-
tendents, and are not allowed to con-
tinue long without notice to quit. 1t is
for them that the bouncer lies in wait,
and the espionage to which they are
perpttually subjected is q constant
check upon their movements. Care Is
now taken in all well-regulated hotels
to keep such persons out of the guests
quarters, and in the newest hotels care
is taken to place most of the con-
veniences referred to in localities where
only guests can reach them.
