Delayed from last week.
One has to live very close to the things
which have occurred to know how intense
Chicago life now is. The Religious Parlia-
ments have held thousands who scarcely
saw the White City in their brief stay. The
crowds have congested the lines of travel till
it becomes very inconvenient to live fai
from the grounds. The greatest event OF
last week was the victory of the w. G. Z
U. 1t was the endorsement of the work of
Mrs. M. b. Carse in erecting the Temple"
in Chicago. Green-eyed envy has hindered
this work to some extent but victory crowned
the faith of one clear-headed and strong
faithed woman. The result is the national
organization will have centre of great
power.

The above picture and the following
sketch of Meade county's new Represen-
tative appeared in a recent issue OF the
Courier.J ournal:
"John d. Hardin, who will represent
Meade count in the next Legislature,
was born in that county in 1862. His
father, Ben Hardin, is one OF the most
prominent farmers in the county. After
receiving as good an education as the
county schools afford, Hardin engaged in
the nursery business until 1887, when he
was appointed Deputy Sheriff. He serv-
ed as Sheriff Ito which office he was
elected three times) and as Deputy
Sheriff for six years. In 1892 he was
elected Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee, which position he
held until his nomination for Represen-
tative. During his terms Of office he
gave general satisfaction, making many
friends and but few enemies. "John
Red" as he is familiarity called on ac-
count of his auburn locks, has been ac-
cused by some of his adversaries of not
being pretty; but his bitterest enemies
have never intimated that he is deficient
in good, hard "hoss sense" His friends
say he will make practical, hard-work-
ing and faithful Representative.

A system of moistening the air Of a
cotton factory-as is required in some
departments of mill before blowing it
into the rooins-has been the subject of
much experiment. 1t has been found
that, if jet of steam or vapor is dis
charged into the main duct any degree
of humidity desired can be obtained, but
all the air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to the different rooms by the
risers leading thereto. That, however,
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in cotton mill may not prove
equally favorable for another.
Then, too, the introduction Of moist
ure at this point may work disastrously
to the walls of the ducts and risers. 1t
is now found that this objection may be
overcome at small expense, by carry
ing steam pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the fiue, through which the air enters
the room, an outlet with valves for regu-
lating the flow of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur
rent of air passing from the fue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Ex-
perience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value
