Device to Avoid Ocean Collisions,

In order to do away with the enor-
nous pressure of the water against the
front of ocean steampships an English
inventor has introduced novel device,
which he claims will enable faster time
to be made by vessels, in addition to fa-
cilitating the maneuvering of ships, and
tend to avoid collisions. The invention
consists of one or more screws on each
side of the bow, each 40 degs. with the
bow and 90 degs. from each other. Ex-
periments with these screws show that
the water is thrown from each side of
the bow, forming deep well in front of
the vessel, and allowing the stern screws
to effect their full power in propulsion.

Dining with DISCRIMINATION.

If one desires to dine with physiolog-
ical discrimination the meal should be-
gin with few uncOoked oysters or CLAIMS,
which are Immediately stimulating, nu-
tritious and digesdble; both oysters and
sea fish contain tonic quantity of To-
dine, and are good nerve foods With
the exception of cayenne, the earlier
dishes should be mildly seasoned; the
entrees may become piquant gradually;
the ice or Roman punch refreshes the
tissues OF the mouth and throat. which
have been heated by the food and some
what inhamed or, rather, stimulated;
the liquid GOODNESS counteracts those
feverish conditions, and prepares the pal
ate for the flavor of the roast or broiled
game.
The accompanying salad greatly en-
hances the intense flavor of the roast,
while the condiments and salad oil favor
digestion The dessert sweets tend to
regulate the combination of the nutri-
tive elements in the blood, exercising a
chemical action not yet thoroughly un-
derstood Black coffee or tea without
milk has an astringent effect, that is, it
contracts the mucous membrane of the
digestive organs, interfering with the
flow of the gastric and intestinal fluids,
and thus retarding digestion.
When their effect is desirable, the
warmth and stimulus derived from
either of those beverages can be replaced
by drinking glass of hot milk and wa
ter, swallowed as hot as possible, in
large sips, and there is no handicap, as
with tea or coffee. The milk soothes the
sensitive digestive tract. which may be
disturbed by other foods, and the hot
water is sanative; the milk taken with
out the water would become a solid
food directly it encountered the gastric
juice, thus lacking the necessary liquid
quantity. Juliet Corson in Harper's

MUCH of the pain that is suffered in
the world is part of a necessary educa-
tion that we could i'll afford to spare.
Through pain we learn to adapt our
selves to Natures laws, to preserve life
and health, to avoid accident. Many
valuable lessons of self government and
self-guidance are thus learned: many
successive steps in civilization and pro
gress are due to its influence. 1t is one
of Natures beneficent methods of lead
ing us upward and onward, and those

Improved Envelope Folding Machine.

Improved Envelope Folding Machine.
A new envelope folding machine pos
sesses several novel features, including
the use of boxed or inside cams, which
obviate the necessity for springs in pro-
ducing the different movements of the
mechanicism, and thus increase the
slnoothness of working and durability of
the apparatus. By means of an ingenious
adjustable appliance, the envelopes have
any desired amount of bulk or roundness
of the edges impaired to them. This
operation makes the envelope more con-
venient for use and also adds to its
strength by lessening the liability to split
at the edges
After folding, the envelopes are trans
ferred to wired divisions on the periph-
cry of revolving wheel at the rear of
the machine. where they are dried by
currents of hot or cold air forced through
perforators in pipes coiled at the sides of
the wheel. The envelopes are afterward
dropped into race and gradually ad-
vanced to table where an attendant is
waiting to band them. All the opera
tions, from the placing of the blanks to
the receipt of the finished envelope, are
entirely automatic, and single machine
is scapable of making from 10000 to 40, 900
envelopes per day.-New York CONNER

A Verse of Scripture.

AT one of the Teachers institutes held
few years ago in Maine, a rule was in
force that whoever entered the morning
session late should pause at the door and
recite passage of Scripture, a quotation
from some poet, or other expression of
an idea, for the edifcation of those pres
ent at the session. There was present
at the session a plain little old maid,
who was continually saying and doing
inappropriate things. 1t seemed to come
natural to her. She was late one morn

and pausing on the threshold she electri
fed those within by remarking suavely,

desired to have-his experience he most
coveted; and this idea was not conveyed
by any formal words-rather by ex-

such one, and dwell lovingly upon
them in after-years, when perhaps he
shall have passed away.

Fosters HercuIean Task.

From the Financier.
Ex-Gov. Foster enters upon a field
of activity that may sorely try his
nerve and discretion. Financial mat
ters ahead assume no calm aspect for
the incumbent of the most RESPONSE
BILE Office within the gift of the presi-
dent. He will need all the strength
that he can possibly retain, and all
the calm Judgment that Instant and
decisive action is more than likely
to necessitate. We have just
passed through critical mon
ey period, and the prospects are
that the issues aroused are but Just
begun In the directions that are only
slightly marked out. Great changes
in the ways of thinking among the
majority of the people are imminent,
and we will not be surprised if the
new secretary's tenure of office proves
the most exciting in the finan cial his
tory of the country. There are two
large money movements, of which we
have obtained some private knowl-
edge, that are likely to be made pub.
lie at an early day. Their character
is revolutionary and calculated to up
set all representations based upon
existing conditions; aside from these,
which in themselves are sufficien tly
momentous, are the common occur
rences now partly under way, which
are more and more engrossing
public attention. The fact that
majority of votes can at any
time radically change our ways and
usages, makes the outlook anything
but conser alive ia character. Mr..
Foster is likely to be one Of the focal
points of these tendencies, and he
will in all probability find that his
new office is no bed of roses. Mean.
while we are happy to extend to him
our best wishes, and trust he will
not get discouraged when he learns
that his position is one where he can
not possibly please every body, no
matter how hard he tries.
Seemingly, with the dissolution
of the present Congress, he will have
period of rest, but II he so elects he
will find problems enough to deal
with in noting the business changes
throughout the country which are
likely to necessitate assistance with
out much warning as to the period OF
their occurrence.

as it stands to reason that a doctor max
