Dyspepsia of the Mouth.

Many people complain OF red noses on
exposure to the cold, with heat and tinginS
of both the nose and upper cheeks, also of
heat and redness on taking hot food, soups
or drinks at dinner. Probably the cause is
bad circulation which in its turn is due to
indigestion, aud it may be the want OF brisk
exercise
When the nose or checks burn from eat
ing or cold air, they should be bathed freely
in very hot water, drying softly nd dust
ing with fuller earth or tale powder, which
is cooling. For indigestion "orrect the diet
and take a charcoal tablet before each meal
with few drops of tincture of myrrh in
hot water after eating. The teeth should
be thoroughly brushed and the mouth
rinsed after each meal. This cleansing of
the mouth is of the greatest Importance in
dyspepsia of any degree.
There is as much dyspepsia in the mouth
as in the rest of the alimentary canal, for
dyspepsia is really ferment, with corroding
effects on the live tissues of memhraneand
nerves. To correct acidity after eating. let
a bit of magnesia the size Of a Large pea dis
solve in the mouth and swallow IL. The
acidity has everything to do with spelling

Economy on Locomotiyes.

1t is now generally admitted that what
ever be the balance between the advantages
of compound and simple Locomotives the
former require considerably less water than
the latter Advantage has been taken of
this fact on n trunk line whereconsiderable
difficulty has been experienced in keeping
the boilers in a state Of good repair. Flues
are constantly leaking. and the life of the
boilers, on one division of the road in par
ticular, is very short. owing to excessive in
crustations, though they are washed out
after every round trip. On investigation it
was found that the trouble was due largely
to the water taken at a single station.
Since careful tests made with accurate me-
tiers and calculations based on indicator
cards show that the compound engines
work with nearly 40 per cent less water
than simple locomotives, it has been decid-
ed to work the division in question wholly
with the former type
1t is expected that in this way it will be
unnecessary to use water from the place
where the supply is bad and so avoid its eff
fects on the boilers Should this expecta-
ton be fulfilled. the compound principle
will be the means of effecting a saving not
only in the amount of fuel and water used,
but also in the total cost of boiler repairs,
while owing to the time saved, which is
now spent in frequent washing, q smaller
number of engines viii be needed.-New
York Telegram.

A Pullman Porter Taught a Lesson.

For once in my life l saw the lord of all
he surveys" the sleeping car porter, non

the Houston and Texas Central railroad.
When at the little town of Richardson on
the upper end of the line, two ladies board
ed the train and by some mistake We're ush-
cred into the Pullman car. My lord in the
brass buttons sailed up to them, and find
ing out the mistake that led to their being
in that car instead of the day coach began
to show off his majestic powers of inso-
lence. He did not observe gentleman who
had boarded the train at the same station,
and who stood quietly observing the scene
from the door of the car. This gentleman
now advanced, saying, BE seated, ladies,
until we reach the next town, when you
can easily enter the other car" Then,
beckoning to the conductor, he added
stop the train, l." Here, captain?''
asked the conductor. Yes; here
There was a pull of the bellrope. the train
stopped, and the porter was gently assisted
out OF the car, thence on TO the bald prairie,
when the captain said to him, Now walk
the Is miles to Dallas, you delicate bios
som, and study politeness as you trudge
along; you are no longer in oGr employ"
There was d shower of approximations, pleas
for pardon and n shake or two of the fist AT
the fast vanishing train. but it vanished
for all that, leaving him to study Is pages,
each mile long, in book entitled Never
Judge by Appearances. The gentleman
who had set him the lesson was Captain T.

Athens Returning TO Classical Greek.

he taught pronunciation which he knew
was not right.
:" 1T doesn't make any difference what
pronunciation we teach he replied, be
cause these boys will never know anything
anyway.

scientious and thorough students of the

Greek classics than the girls in our own
schools in Athens. l should say they must
be very good, then, for a great revival in
Greek classical study has taken place with
in a few years. The spoken language is
conforming more and more closely to clas-
steal standards. Foreign words that have
crept into the language are being cast
aside. 1 noticed the increased purity of
the language when 1 returned to Greece
and met some of my university classmates.
