Getting Rid of Soft Coal : noke.

Apparently the workers for the abate-
ment of the soft coal smoke nuisance
have found a new WY # approach to-
ward the object Of their attack. They
have taken leaf ont of the history of
the discovery of natural gas. When gas
was introduced into PittsburS. that city,
which had been the smokiest in the
union, suddenly became cleaner than
either Cincinnati or Chicago. The next
step was the reflection: If gas which
gushes ont of the earth can work such a
change as this, why cannot gas be man
ufactured that will do equally well?
And on that phase of the problem the
reformers are now working.
Smoke consuming patents have been
tried till money, patience and hope are
alike exhausted. They have been mostly
abandoned. Even where one seemed to
promise anything it was impossible to
find anybody not stepped in stupidity to
regulate it. In Chicago many private
individuals burn hard coal, though it is
at once more expensive and more diff
cult to manage. But it has now been
certainly found that the real way to con-
sumo smoke is not to make it at all, but
to use gas instead of coal for all pur-
poses. Gas is becoming cheaper con-
stan ". 1t is to the interests of gas
companies to furnish it as Cheaply as it
can be made, in order to have it used for
both heating and illuminating purposes,
1t will pay them to do this. Either a
cheap fuel gas might perhaps be made,
or burners invented which would cause
ordinary illuminating gas TO be con-
sumed slowly with great heat. little
flame and no SCOT at all. Make gas for
fuel cheap enough, and everybody will
be only too glad to use it.

Tremendous Phenomena.

Dec. 8, 1891, Heidelberg astronomer
made a photograph Of the constellation
Auriga. Two nights later Professor
Pickering of Harvard observatory also
made some photographs of the same con-
stellation. When these were developed,
they showed n star of the sixth magni-
tude in n spot which had been blank in
the Heidelberg photograph. Jan. "a,
1892, six weeks and three days later, DR..
Anderson, an amateur astronomer of
Edinburgh, observed a star of the fifth
magnitude in the place that had been
vacant in the constellation Auriga Dec.
8. 1t was then SO large as to be visible
to the naked eye.
Thus n spot vacant Dec. 8 was shown
to contain a star of the sixth magnitude
Dec. 10, while by Jan. "a the same had
increased in size and brilliancy till it
was of the fifth magnitude. In two
days, from Dec. 8, when it was not visi-
BILE at all, to Dec. 10, when it appeared
of the sixth magnitude, this uncanny
star must have gained in brightness six
teenfold. Yet as strange part of the
story still remains to be told. Its light
began to decrease almost Immediately
after Jan. "a. 1t was approaching the
sun. By the last of April it had become
invisible altogether even through the
great Lick telescope.
Aug. II it was once more visible. But
now it was not a star at all any more.
1t was a nebula, hazy spot of bright
ness, and so it remains to this day, and
that is what became of Nova Aurigae,
as it was called: In The Forum, Pre-
fessor Edward S. Holden sums up sew
eral of the theories advanced for the
swift changes in appearance of this Won
derful star. He supposes that some of
the tremendous collisions or explosions
with which the writings of Camille
Flammarion have made US more or less
acquainted have here actually taken
place. But from the estimated distance
of the star the catastrophe must have
occurred from 20 to so years ago, and
the light which reveals it to us has only
reached us.
Astronomers suppose that dark star

SAVING A DOCTORS BILL.
Good Housck eepinG's Plan For the HoT
Treatment of Kitchen MoundE.

Good Housckeeping's Plan For the Home
Treatment of Kitchen Wounds.
This little article has for its modest
aim the designation to the busy bees of
the kitchen a few of the important
though often considered minor points in
the proper treatment of little wounds re
ceived during the fulfillmcnt of the house
wife's duties. There are dangers in neg
Letting even the prick of pin. The
germ theory and the antiseptic treat
ment of wounds have opened up a new
realm to the NJ. D., and as the intelli-
gence of the public grows there is less
need for a doctor from year to year.
Will we ever be able to get along entire
ly without one?
What are the requirements of perfect
wound treatment? Cleanliness first, last
and all the time. This is said to be the
foundation of antiseptic surgery. How
can we secure it: No germs can live or
develop where there is extreme heat.
When You injure yourself while cutting
bread, grating potatoes, sharpening your
carving knife or in an .,-Hher way, pro-
cure Immediately some previously boiled
water into which you have thrown a few
drops of pure carbolic acid, and after
you have checked the bleeding, not by
cobwebs, but by pressure, applied by
means of a constructing band of rubber
or a twisted piece of cloth. wash the in
jured member in the carbolized water.
Have always in the house some alb
sorbent cotton and some old, clean lin
en-, which should be in strips from to 1
inches wide and from a half yard to a
yard long. After the wound has been
made perfectly clean, dip some layers of
cotton into clean, carbolized water and
press out the excess of liquid. Then ap-
ply over the wound and wrap up with
the linen strips. The wound will heal
beautifully. a bottle of collodion, some
ammonia water and vial of tincture of
iodine should be in every house.
If the baby should be scratched by
pussy, don't be contented with kissing
away his tears, but in connection with
affection apply ammonia and in a mild
way cauterize with it the excoriation.
Pussy's claws are not always clean, and
dirt particles, however small, may give
rise to trouble.
If Bridget scalds or burns herself &C.
ing soda, flour and water and cover the
burn with it completely. In few days,
perhaps a week, as burns heal slower
than any other wound, the result of
proper treatment will be seen, and per-
haps doctors bill will be saved. Don't
use hnseed oil and imewater, as it be-
comes hard and incrusted over the ten
der surface, causing pain when it has to
be removed, whereas the soda paste is
delightfully."- cooling.
Should Tommy stub his little nose Sc
verely enough to cause bleeding, have
him snuff pinch of powdered alum, and
often it works like magic.

Ex-PRHAIDENr HARRISON thinks 1--WE are
sowing the seeds of discord in breaking
away from the national election laws" and
he has delivered himself of an argument to
Chicago interviewer to prove that 1--WE
must have pure elections" This conten-
ton is sound enough. The flaw in Mr.
Hnrrison's thesis is in the assumption that
all the purity is with the "blocks-of-fve"
party, and that its chief vestals are Johnny
Davenport and his "heelers."
