A Ventilation Register.

Many mines in the anthracite region have
introduced an Instrument devised for regis
tering the ventilating pressure and indi-
eating when the volume of air furnished
by the ventilating fans falls below the re-
quired amount. A small tube running
from the return airway at the ventilating
machine or in the mine connects with q
flexible diaphragm, and any change in the
density of the air in the mine at once causes
a movement of this diaphragm, which
actuates a registering pen and make a con-
tinuous record upon a revolving circular
chart. The chart is rotated BYE clock, and
is divided into spaces for seven days and
seven nights. A continuous record of the
condition of the ventilation is thus kept
for one week, at the end of which a new
chart Is needed.-New York Telegram.

One of the most noted of New York ply
sicians insists that no exercise in the gym
nasium is so perfect and calls naturally
into play so many muscles at once as brisk
walking in the open air, in correct position
and loose clothing, and with some light
burden in the hands. And perhaps if the
statement be strong, five or six years of
this sort of exercise might make an excel
lent basis for athletic improvement, es-
pecially among women, whose gymnastic
work is said to be erratic rather than regu-
lar or sustained, and taken without regard
to dietetic and hygienic conditions.-New

begun and his dead body was soon
found. He had shot himself through
the heart. He had probably cooked the
gun, and forgetting, had pulled it toward

Some Wheat Figures,
The Minneapolis Journal has been do
ing some figuring on this years crop and
comes to the following conclusions: eff
we shall have an ex%portable surplus OF
15O,O00,000 to 160,OOO,OOO bushels, as
seems likely, it will all be needed by Eu-
rope, as the intimations of an unfavor-
able outcome of the crops there have
grown into formidable facts. Brad.
streets places u e%Sportable surplus at
l52,OOO,O0O; Russia's at 64,0OO,O00 and
India's at 100000 Hon. W. D. Wash
burn, however, cabled from st. Peters,
burg yesterday that Russia would have
no exportable surplus. This is likely, as
the winter wheat crop has recently been
reported a failure, except in a few pro-
vinces, and an estimate of the worlds
supply of grain in the New York Sun
places the loss of Russian spring and
winter wheat at 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
which is 100000 900 bushels more than
the average export Of the last five
years.
In France, according to the Suns re-
port, the wheat crop is 134,000,OOO bush
els below the average of 31O,OOO,OOO
bushels average of the past decade. And
the estimated required imports of wheat
and rye in Europe are 878,000,00O bush.
els and the probable exportable surplus
of exporting countries 259, 100000 bush.
els, making an apparent deficit in the
worlds supply of wheat and rye of &c.
100000 bushels. This estimate of the
Sun appears very large, but it must be
recalled that rye is enormously consumed
in Europe by the poorer classes. Rus.
STA raises 725,000,000 bushels of rye
a year and consumes most of it. This
season the rye crop is practically de-
stroyed.
Gin Austria Hungary wheat and rye
are Is to 20 per cent below the average
India is not 40 short as has been sup.
posed. She is shipping more wheat tc
Europe than last year, and her exports
are likely to be the largest for some
years. India has a normal wheat area
of 100000 acres, and a normal average
yield of ten bushels to the acre. and, in
good years, India exports 100000 quar-.
ters "a quarter is eight bushels) of wheat.
But India will not figure very largely as
a source Of supply for the evidently big
European deficiency of this year.
"Outside of Russia there will be a
shortage in Europe of 1863. OOO,O 900 bushels
of wheat and rye, after the exporting
countries have sent what they can spare.
That is the Suns estimate, and it is bull
ish enough to suit the most militant bull
in the grain exchanges. Yet it evidently
is not a gross exaggeration, as all recent
cables coincide as to an unusual short.
age.
The Sun suggests corn to supply the
European deficiency after the absorption
of the outside wheat and rye e%xportable.
That would be a solution of the food
problem; but the Europeans are bitterly
prejudiced against corn as food. They
may have to come to it. In::this country
it is the healthful food of the masses.
And W. have plenty of it. The sum of
the whole matter is Europe is painfully
short and will take all the wheat and rye
we can spare.

"Allcock's Porous Plasters are a most
invaluable household remedy. I sell

Curious DerlvatiOns.

In order to increase his revenues
Charles I. granted certain privileges,
amounting to monopolies, and among
these was the manufacture OF paper.
At that time all English paper bore
the royal arms in water marks. The
parliament under Cromwell made
sport of this law in every possible
manner and among other indignities
to the memory of Charles it was Or
dered that the royal arms be removed
from the paper, and that the FOOLS cap
and bells should be used as q substi-
tute. When the Rump parliament
was prorogued these were also re-
moved, but paper of the size OF the
parliamentary journals, which is
usually about seventeen by fourteen
inches, still bears the name of ''fools-
cap"
Many centuries ago the first monarch
of the province of Malabar gave one OF
his chiefs, as a reward for distinguish
ed services. his sword and all the land
within the limits of which a cock crow
ing ut a certain temple could be heard.
From this circumstance the town which
grew up in the center Of this territory
was called Calicoda, or the cock OF
Growing. Afterward it was called
Calicut, and from this place the first
cotton goods were imported into Eng
land bearing the name of calico.

A Story Of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew jackson was one of our
leading presidential tourists, and he
was one of the best mixers among the
presidents. He was q good judge of
human nature and always adapted
himself to his surroundings. He was
worshiped by the democracy, and
during his tour thousands of babies
were presented for him to kiss. He
was Il kind-hearted man and he did
kiss a few hundreds of them, but he
often relegated the duty to his cabinet,
who accompanied him. Colonel A. r.
Boteler, who was member of the con-
gress of the United States before the
war, was attending Princeton college
when Jackson made one Of these tours,
and he accompanied the procession
from Princeton to Trenton. During
the trip, while General jackson and
General Eaton were riding along in
the carriage together, a lean, long,
lank, homely woman was seen rushing
across the field with baby in her
arms. She headed off the procession
and crawled through the fence just as
Jackson and Eaton came up. Presi-
dent Jackson stopped the carriage and
spoke to her. She held up the baby
and he noticed that its face was we'll
covered with molasses. He seized the
child and then holding it out before
him, said: Madam, you have a fine
son here, and he may be president OF
the United States some day. He will
doubtless do credit to you, and his face
is sweet one. He thereupon thrust
him toward General Eaton, and said,
Here, Eaton, you kiss him" and this
the secretary of war did, making the
woman smile with Joy.
1t took jackson q month to come
from Tennessee to Washington. He
had an old-fashioned family coach
which had been presented to his wife
about the time he built the Hermitage
1t was very heavy, but he would no
ride in any other.

ACIDS FOR FOOD.
Why Rhubarb is Healthy I'm the Spring
time DAYS.

The grateful acid of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and bin
oXalate of potash which it contains;
the acidity of the lemon. orange, and
other species of the genus citrus is
caused by the abundance of citric acid
which their juice contains; that of the
cherry, plum. apple. and pear from
the malic acid in their pulp; that of
gooseberrles and currants, black. red,
and white, from IL mixture of malic
and citric acrids; that of the grape
from a mixture of malic and tartaric
acids; that of the mango from citric
acid and very fugitive essential oil;
that of the tamarind from mixture of
citric, malic, and tartaric acids; the
flavor of asparagus from aspartic acid,
found also in the root of the marsh
from peculiar poisonous ingredient
called fungin, which is found in all
fungi, and is the cause of the cucumber
being offensive to some stomachs. 1t
will be observed that rhubarb is the
only fruit which contains bin-OXalate
Of potash in conjunction with acid.
1t is this ingredient which renders this
fruit so wholesome at the early COM
mencement of the summer and this is
one of the wise provisions of nature
for supplying blood purifier at time
when it is likely to be most needed.
Beet root owes its nutritious quality to
about 8 per cent of sugar which it con-
| tains, and its flavor to peculiar SUBJ
stance containing nitrogen mixed with
| poetic acid. The carrot owes its fat
tening powers also to the sugar, and
its flavor to a peculiar fatty oil; the
horseradish derives its flavor and
blistering power from a volatile acrid
oil. The Jerusalem artichoke con.
tains 14A per cent of sugar and pc,
cent of inulin Ga variety OF starch),
besides gum and a peculiar substance
to which its flavor is owing; and lastly,
garlic, and the rest of the onion fam
ilyA derive their odor from a yellowish,
volatile, acrid oil, but they are nutri
tious from containing nearly half their
weight of glutinous substances not ye
clearly defined.

The remarkable popularity of the

among the upper classes, whereas the
cholera selected its victims among the
poorer people. Some idea of the ex-
