How Sufferer From Asthma
Thought He had Secured Fresh
Air.
An unfortunate asthmatic, compelled
to make a hurried journey from home,
arrived very late at night at n coun-
try inn, where he had never put up
before, says writer in Hygiene.
Completely worn out, he partoOk of
supper and was then shown into
huge, old-fashioned bed room, the fur
ther portion of which was only dimly
illuminated by a miserable candle. He
was not long in throwing off his clothes,
:ntO bed. The feeling of being in
strange place and the rapid mental
review Of many incidents Of his days
journey, with the closeness of the heat,
combined with the late supper, brought
on 4 wakeful nervous condition which
induced an attack of asthma. GaSping
for breath, he scarcely knew what TO
do; 30 get up and grope about such
large room in quest of door or Win
dow by which he could admit more air
seemed beyond his powers. All at
once he remembered that somewhere
at the far end Of the room he had no
ticed. while undressing, a reflection as
from glass. This, he promptly con-
Guided must have been the window,
anil. seizing stick which he had placed
on q chair by the bedside. he hurled
it through the gloom. His Conjectures
were conhfined to his satisfaction, for
the gathering op the floor of the pieces
Of broken glass showed him that he
had not only guessed rightly as to the
position OF the window, but had also
succeeded ia smashing one Of the
panes. In his Imagination the air of
the room became cooler and fresher,
and the paroxysm of difficult breathing
sdGn ceased the result being that he
fell into 4 refreshing slumber which
LASTED I'LL morning. Upon his awaking
ne was surprised to find the daylight
streaming into the room from direc-
Gion exactly opposite TO that in which,
overnight, he imagined the window to
he situated. Turning to glance down
the room, he discovered that he had
smashed quantity of glass, surely
enough, but it had formed nc part Of
the window, as he supposed, but the
front of q glazed bookcase.

mckinley WIN Not BE forgotten.

The Fifty-third Congress was elected
for the purpose of repeating the odious
and burdensome tariff laws of the
country. There were other issues
joined between the parties, and in the
East there was a notable effort before
the election, as there now is after it,
to belittle the question of the tariff.
But it failed. Mr.. Cleveland was an
experiment as President up to the date
of his famous reform message to Con-
gress. Before that he was regarded as
an untried leader of the Democratic
party; after that he became force in
the economic battle being waged by
the Morrisons, the Carlisles and the
Millses against plutocracy and class
legislation. The warfare was long
and memorable one and the people
finally tr4unphed, "Tiey learned what
they wanted and they asked for 1t at
the ballot-box. 1t was not victory of
the outs against the ins. It was not a
contest for the spoils of Office. It was
triumph of the oppressed over their
oppressors. It was a contest of the
people against the subsidists. The
average voter\is not going to forget
tariffs on account of a money strin-
gency. He has been 50 long familiar
with case of chronic stringency in
his own case that the word does not
frighten him. He expects a cheaper
breakfast table AID aeheaper coat un-
der the new regime, and If he do not
get it he will know the reason why.
Congress will be expected to do all in
it's power to relieve the financial situa-
tion, but it's chief duty is revision of
the tariff laws, and its work must be-
gin Immediately after the extra session
eolvenes. Nobody understands this
better than the Democratic members
themselves. The unwise FINANCIAL laws
to which the Presidents proclamation
alludes include the Mckinley law.-St.

Dumas at Work.

The ''Englishman in Paris" relates
that he one day called to see the
elder Dumas, and inquired of the
servant:
''Is monsieur at homer"
"He is in his study, monsieur;
monsieur can go in"
AT that moment / heard a loud
burst of laughter from the inner
apartment, SO [ said I would waip
till monsieur's visitors were gone. II
Monsieur has no visitors; he is
working" replied the servant.
Monsieur Dumas often. laughs like
that at his work"
1t was true enough; the novelist
was alone, or ratht + in company with
one of his characters. He was SIM

New Method of Making Car Wheels.

New Method of Making Car Wheels.
An unusual method of making wheels
for cars has recently been brought be-
fore railway men. Wherever it is de-
sired to have reliable wheels steel
tires are almost universally used, with
paper, wrought or cast iron centers.
Cast iron centers are the cheapest form
Of any as regards first cost, but it is
rather difficult to form a good conneo-
tion between the tire and the center.
In the new method of manufacture a
stock is made up complete. The moIds
for the center OF the wheel are then cut
up, leaving space for placing the tire
in the mold so as to form a part of it.
The mold is next opened and the tire,
heated to red heat, is placed in posi-
ton. The mold is then closed and the
molten metal for the center immedi-
ately poured in. The result is said to
be a practically perfect union of the
steel and cast iron, forming solid
wheel which has the advantage of a
durable steel rim and q cheap body.

Artificial Ice.

The Massachusetts State Board of
Health having been directed by the
Legislature to examine the system by
which artificial ice is made in that
State, reports as follows: Il. Artifi-
cial processes Of freezing concentrate
the impurities of the water in the
inner core, or the portion last frozen.
2. The impurities are reduced to
their lowest terms by distilled water
Condensed steam) for the manufact-
ure of ice. 3. The number of bacteria
in artificial Ice is Insignificant under
the prevailing methods Of manufact-
ure. 4. The amount of zinc found in
the samples of melted artificial ice
under the observation is Insufficient
to injure the health of persons using
such ice," Three companies in the
State make artificial ice by the am-
monia system Of freezing Galvanized
iron tanks, holding from 200 to 250
pounds of distilled water, are i'm
mersed in lime, which is cooled below
the freezing point of water by pipes
which convey the gaseous ammonia.
The freezing goes on slowly from the
sides Of the tanks, and it generally
requires about two days to form a
solid cake of ico. The distilled water
is generally condensed steam from
the engine, which is filtered through
various media, such as sand, coke,
and charcoal, to free it from oil,
grease, and other suspended matters,
and is subsequently, boiled to expel
air. The water In all three plants is
obtained from wells sunk on the
premises, and all coutain consider
able mineral matter in solution; but
when the water is conve. ted into
steam and only the condensed water
is used for ice-making, the original
composition Of the water is of com.

She Alleges That the Child Was
Stolen From Her by Her
Own Father.

The girl Mary French, who has been
at police headquarters since Monday
night, was turned over to her father, G.
Ii. French, of Minneapolis, yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. French, who lives at
1922 Twenty-fifth street south. could
not understand why the child ran away.
She attended school on Monday and
during the afternoon session told the
teacher her father was waiting in the
hall TO take her to be yaccinated. She
was excused by the teacher, and, after
visiting the diSpenSary and being vac
cnated. came to st. Paul. Her step
mother, Mr.. French said, had treated
the child very kindly. When brought
down stairs by Jailer Arbuckle the little
girl would not talk, but had requested
the jailer to ask her father not to pun
lsh her. Yesterday woman who said
her name was Mrs, French, and that
she was the child's mother, telephOned
from Minneapolis to leave the child
where she was. According to her story
she was divorced from e. III. French
about six years ago, and by the decree
she was given the custody Of the child.
Some months after the decree was
granted the child was stolen from her.
as she supposed, by the father. For
several years she has been living
in Austin. this state. Yester-
day morning she saw all &C
count of the finding of the
girl in the GLOBE. and as the child told

once it was her daughter. Sne took the
train for Minneapolis, and last night ap-
piled to the police there for assistance.
She intends to make Legal fight to re
gain possession of the Child.
