Engineers should apply thesteam engine
Indicator at least once a week, aud some
rig for reducing tho motion OF the piston
should be available which will admit Of
easy attachment without stopping the en-
gine. A unique arrangement OF this kind
has been introduced which consists Of a
light brass wheel which has two diameters,
the larger diameter being OF such dlmen-
slons that the circumference will be one
hulf the stroke OF the engine and the small
CIR having circumference oRe-haf the
length OF the diagram.
\ cord wound two or three times around
the large wheel is attached 20 the cross
head, and cord from the wheel OF smaller
diameter leads TO tho barrel OF the indicator
when in operation or is hooked to nm idler
cord which passes over leading pulley to
weight while tho Indicator is az rest. A
clock spring attached to the side OF the
wheel causes the return motion after the
cord has been drawn out by the moving
croSshead. This rig as permanent attach
ment to the front head Of an engine has
proved satisfactory. -power.

The human body is constantly undergo
ing tissue change. Worn out particles are
cast aside and eliminated from the system.
while the new are ever being formed, from
the inception Of lie to its close.
Water has the power Of increasing these
tissue changes, which multiply the waste
products, but at the same time they are re
newed by it's agency, giving rise to in
creased appetite, which In turn provides
fresh nutrimsnt. Persons but little accus-
tanned TO drinking water are liable to have
thewaste products formed faster than they
are removed. Any obstruction to the free
working Of natural laws at once produces
disease, which, II once firmly seated, re-
quires both time and money to cure.
People accustomed to rise In the morn
ing weak and languid will find the cause in
the Imperfect secretion Of wastes, which
many times may DO remedied by drinking
q full tumbler Of water before retiring
This very materially assists In the process
during the night and leaves the Tissues
fresh aud strong, ready for the active work
Of the day.
Hot water is one of our best remedial
agents.
A hot bath on going to bed, oven in the
hot nights OF summer, is better reliever
OF insomnia than many drugs.
Inlamcd parts will subside under the
continual poulticing Of hot water.
Very hot water, as we all know, Is
prompt checker OF bleeding, and besides, IL
1t ia clean, az it should be, It aids in ster-
iliziug wounds. Journal of Health.

It was a case Of chicken stealing, and the

around the henhouse. The lawyer for the

And you were seen by the cook sitting

"Yes, sir, there was pebble in II that
was too big to got out OF the same hole it
got IN at"
Now, sir propose to prove that you
made these tracks with your bare feet
while you were stealing chickens from the

You can't do 1t, sir, said the prisoner,
