When the job is finished the style, like
the dial-plate, should be immovably

pin lit one be used) is inserted in
the plate, or where the wedge
(if that form of gnomon be preferred)
tapers away to nothing toward the
south. The same center should be
used in describing the hour circle.
There are abstruse mathematical rules
Tor laying out the radiating lines in
advance. But it is easier to locate
them by practical experiment. Watch
in hand, one should first mark the
noon point on the outer circle, using a
temporary pin to cast the shadow.
Then, in like manner, the points where
the shadow crosses the arc at 1, 2, 8
and the other afternoon hours, and at
6, z, and the other forenoon hours,
should be carefully indicated. Halves
and quarters may also be designated If
desired.
A sun dial is set up for poetical and
ornamental, rather than practical rea-
sons; but in the interest of accuracy it
ought to be added that only on four
days in the year would local '.mean''
time, or clock indications, agree with
local apparent time, or sun-dial
readings Fer astronomical causes,
there is, during most of the year, q
variation of from one to ten minutes;
and for few days in November the
departure is as great as fifteen More
over, most Of our clocks and watches
nowadays, instead of registering true
local time, are set to accord with a
standard meridian east or west of u.s.
From eastern Maine to Cleveland, for
instance, we go by the seventy-ffth
meridian. East of that the true time
is four minutes later for each degree
OF longitude, and westward four
minutes earlier.--N. Y. Tribune.

from Dahomey, South Africa, also are
drawing card. carrying out as they do
the manners of their native jungles,
which for picturesque savagery sur
pass anything to be seen at the fair.
Within the last few days several fete
days have been enjoyably celebrated.
Several of the states have held their
days, rs have also the negroes, the
grocers and butchers and several be-
nevolent associations On these occa-
sions the crowd attains to mammoth
proportions and the grounds present a
holiday appearance. Each fete day is
marked by some special order Of exer-
cises. and the members Of the associa-
ton or fraternity SO honored lay aside
all business cares and flock to the fair
grounds for day of general jollity and
recreation. 1t is safe to say that no
worlds fair in all the history of ma
tions has ever been SO fully given over
to the people as is this of our Column
bian year.
The daily attendance has reached
an average of nearly two hundred
thousand and there is promise of a
large increase during the remaining
two months of the fair A payment of
ten per cent on the bonds has just
been ordered and it begins to look as
though there would be some profit in
worlds fair stock in spite of the opin-
ion OF certain knowing ones to the con-
trary. Retrenchment has been the
order in the management of late and
many large salaries have been reduced
or entirely cut off, and in other ways
the expenses have been reduced, all of
which goes to show that our great ex-
position is in fair way to prove a
financial success.
The history of the Sunday closing at
the worlds fair has been interesting
and highly amusing. First, the Of

with a view to prevent the formation
of rust upon them, The compounds
used for the manufacture of this paint
are the tar obtained from works pro-
ducing fat gas, ''goudron," which is
a mixture of about IS parts of refined
Trinidad asphalt and Is parts of re-
fined asphalt oil, or, instead of the
"goudron," sulphur may be used. If
"goudron" be employed, this is dis
solved in the gas tar, in suitable quan.

USE OF POULTICES.
1t Is Not Understood as Generally as
1t Should Be.

1t Is Not Understood as Generally as
1t Should Be.
Physicians are often surprised at the
ignorance of patients concerning the
use of poultices. The trouble arises
from wrong idea as to the curative
action of a poultice.
In general, poultices are primarily
localizers of Inflammation; they act by
softening and stimulating the tissues
with which they are brought directly
in contact. The fact that their value
lies in the amount of heatand moisture
which they radiate to these tissues is
the reason, probably, for their applica-
tion by the laity in every case where
neat and moisture may happen to be-
indicated as necessary.
Take, for example, says the Youths
Companion, two cases-a poisoned
wound and a finger swollen by muscu-
lar strain. i - manifest that these
two cases are not parallel, tnough1n-
both the application of heat is indicated
as remedy.
In the case of the poisoned wound,
we have the presence of foreign sub
stance in the tissues. This sets up a
local Inflammation, which by means of
the circulation tends to spread and
become general. We place poultice
over the affected part, and immediate
~ the application of the heat brings to
it afresh supply of blood containing
NUMEROUS leucocytes--whitec corpuscles
whose business it is to make war
upon all foreign matter with which
they may come in contact, and pus is
formed. This finds proper means Of
escape through the softened tissues
under the poultice, and with it comes
the poison.
III the case of the swollen finger. on
the other hand, we have simple irri-
tation, and what we need in thew
OF treatment is just enough heat to
draw renewed supply of blood to the
weakened part for its nourishment.
But we do notwish. as in the first case,
to confnc the heat long enough to stim-
ulate the leucocytes to activity, as in
that event we should only have made
bad matter worse, with an abscess to
take care Of.
The desired result may be obtained
by simply plunging the finger into
water as hot as can be borne for 4
