A Heating Scheme.

A plan of heating mills has been in
troduced by which heated air is deliv-
cred from a large fan into fues in the
walls, registers from each ue delivering
the air into the different rooms, this air
being heated by the waste gases from
the boiler. The products of combustion
pass from the boilers through econo-
mixers for heating the feed water, next
through a Regeneration for relocating the
steam exhausted from the high pressure
cylinder and on its way to the low pres
sure cylinder, and then passes through
air pipes, where it heats the cold air for
heating the buildings. then passes to the
chimney. If heated air is not wanted,
but only cool air for ventilation, the gases
from the boiler are turned by a damper
into the chimney without entering the
heater, and if the gases are not sufficient
to heat the air as desired additional
heat is supplied by radiators of steam in
this heater. The temperature Of the air
is raised about so degrees by its contact
with the hot gases.-New York Sun.

Facing Certain Death.

With his foot caught and firmly held
in a frog on the Reading railroad track
at West Falls, John Duffy met death in
fearful form. Duffy was employed as a
brakeman by the Reading company, and
ran ahead of his train to open a switch.
That duty performed, he signaled his
engineer to bring on the train.
His signal was observed, and as the
train came toward him Duffy found
that his foot vas caught firmly in a
frog. He shouted for help and made
frantic efforts to release himself, but in
vain. The noise of the putting engine
drowned his cries, and when the engi-
neer saw the struggling man in the full
glare of the headlight it was too late to
save his life.
Swiftly the great engine bore down on
the frantic prisoner. and though the
the lever was reversed and the brake put
down hard the locomotive struck Duffy
and he vas literally cut in two. Death
was instantaneous, but the expression
on the dead face showed plainly the ter
rible agony the man had endured for a
few seconds. Record.

killed. at the back and on the arms, was
turned up at the sleeves over two slight
wrists, and by its fullness made him
look still younger and more slender.
There was excitement in his long, bril-
liant eyes-Arab eyes, intensified by
Spanish flame. And this fixed fame
annoyed the Cabecilla.
"What do you want" he asked of him.
Nothing. l am waiting for you to
decide on my fate"

him full in the face.

The youth assumed a superb look.

ga hundred times!"
Very well, you shall die"
Then the cure made sign, and the ex-
ecution platoon came and ranged itself
around the condemned, who did not
vince.
This sublime courage touched the
chief with pity. He demanded:
"Have you nothing to ask of me first?
Don't you want something to eat? Don't
you want something to drink"
"No," answered the youth; but I am
a good Catholic, and 1 don't want to go
before God without confession"
The Cabecilla still wore his surplice
and his stole.
"Kneel," said he, seating himself upon
a rock, and the soldiers having til
drawn q short distance, the condemned
began in a low voice:
"Bless me, my father, because l have
sinned!'
But in the midst of the confession a
terrible fusillade burst forth at the en-
trance Of the defle.
ITO arms!" cried the sentinels.
The Cabecilla gave a bound, issued
his orders, distributed the posts and
scattered his soldiers. He himself had
seized a carbine without taking the
time to remove his surplice, when, hap
pening to turn around, he perceived the
youth still on his knees.
"What are you doing there? he
thundered.
Il am awaiting absolution," was the
reply.
"That's true" said the priest. Il had
forgotten you"
Gravely he raised his hand and blessed
that bowed young head. Then, before 60
ing away, after glancing around him for
the platoon of execution, dispersed in
the disorder of the attack, he drew off a
step, took aim at his penitent and shot
him.-Alphonse Daudet.

Reading by Candle Light.

81 must inveigh," says an oculist
against the candle as a night reading
light. 1t is quite a custom, l find, for
sleepless folks to keep a candle at th9ir
bedside and rely upon it for light during
wakeful hours that are passed in read
ing. AS the flame f1ickers with the
slightest current Of air, the light is un-
certain and waving and most trying to
the eyes. A small reading lamp takes a
few seconds longer to light, but it is
much to be preferred"

AN AWFUL lMPOSSiBILlTY.

The soaking rain is pouring down
How 1t would fill your cup
With bitterness If some day 1t
Should start to pouring up!
Umbrellas tten would be no use,
And men in rubber boots
Would have to go, while all the girls
Would put or bathing suits.
You'd have a fountain on your lawn
Beside each blade of grass.
To keep your cellar warm and dry
You'd need a floor of glass.
If you were camping in a tent,
You'd have to sleep on top,
And all night you'd be praying that
The cursed rain might stop.
In fact, great inconvenience
Too numerous to state
Would follow If the falling rain
Should cease to gravitate.
So let us hope thereIl be no change,
At least in our town,
And that instead Of pouring up
The rain will still pour down.

Drill hall was divided off by states.
At the closing meeting fully 10000
people were present. 1t was the
grand wind-up of the twelfth annual
convention. The first order of bust
ness was the report of the resolution
committee.
Rev. |. II. Lewis of Westminster,
Md, preached the closing sermon,
after which a collection was ken up
for the benefit of the family of the
man who had dropped dead Uf heart
disease while escorting delegates to
their place of entertainment. The
amount of the collection taken in
the Drill Hall was about $500, which
with that taken in the other places
of worship will make the fund about
500.
The conservation service, which
was the closing event of the great
convention, was conducted by the
president, Rev. F. E. Clark, and was
perhaps the most thrilling event of
the entire services. The states were
called alphabetically and every one
of them responded with a Verse of
scripture, and nearly all added there
to verse of some familiar song. A
few of them had an cen leavor"
song, composed especially for the
occasion, which they rendered beau
tifully. Responses were also made
from other places outside of the Uni
ted States and Canada; such as
China, Turkey and England A
large number of cablegrams were re-
ceived and read at this meeting. The
grand event was brought to II close
by the 10000 singing "God Be with
YOU" concluding with the Mizpah.

Wool touches Bottom.

A man IN Ontario county last year decided
to join the Democratic party, after having
camped with the Republicans many years,
because he was getting only thirty cents a
pound for his wool, and was persuaded that
Free Trade would increase the demand and
raise the price. He has not been heard from
this year, but if he is getting twenty cents q
pound, which is the highest price paid in
Bath now, it is reasonable to suppose that
he is trying to get back into the Republican
fold.-Steuben Courier.
This is the same story, told in diff
ferent words, that came to us from
Schoharie comfy the other day. A
Democrat reioiced there when the
news was confirmed that Cleveland
had been elected, because it would
send wool up to fifty cents a pound
Those farmers who were persuaded
to vote the Democratic ticket did so
on the information that the manu-
facturers were making too much
money, and that the tariff adjust
ment which the Democrats proposed
would give them 1.-THE farmers) more
equitable share. But with wooden
factories shutting down because
there is no money to be made by
them, the result does not work as
promised, but quite the reverse. The
free trade Boston Herald states the
situation in that city without at
tempting to justify it, or even to
show that the farmers are better off
than when they received forty or fifty
cents pound
Wool is now the lowest in this country OF
any time since 1880, and this practically
means the lowest in the history of the trade.
The situation is explained only on the fact
of a great financial stringeney, and the
chances that the tariff is to come off of wool
as soon as the coming Congress shall have
assembled. Such conditions have destroyed
confidence in wool and lessened the demand
till there is only a remarkably small trade in
the Boston market, while in the wool-grow-
ing sections the storehouses are full of wool
and even railroad cars are loaded, waiting
for a better market before the wool is shipped
A great many people voted for a
change" last fall. They appear to
be getting it-''in the neck. Troy

almost any town in the orange
growing districts and you will see the
women using the luscious fruit exact
ly as our housekeepers use soap.
They cut the oranges in halves and
rub the floor with the fat exposed
pulp. The acid in the oranges does
the cleaning no doubt, but at any
rate the boards are as white as snow
after the application. 1t is thought
that lemons would be better than
oranges for this purpose because of
