Hints.

Woodenware when not in use should
be turned bottom side up.
Poorly ventilated kitchens make poor
cooks by destroying the sense of taste
and smell.
A person who is Ill should not be
ov%er-burdened with too much or too
heavy bed clothing.
A fresh egg beaten and thickcned
with sugar, freely eaten, will relieve
hoarseness, and the skin of q boiled
e wet and applied to a boil, will
draw out soreness.
Croutons in tomato and bean soup
add to their attractivencss, and are
easily prepared by buttcring a slice or
bread on both sides, cutting it into tiny
squares and browning them in the
oven.
Boiled milkff with a little salt added
to make it palatable, is one of the most
healthfuI drinks. 1t soothes an irritat-
ed stomach, nourishes the flesh tissues
and tends to make the complexion
clear.
Brown paper should be used in put
ting away ribbons and silks for preser-
vation; the chloride of lime in white
paper d~iscolors them. A white satin
dress should be pinned up in blue pa
per, with brown paper outside, sewn
together at the edges.
For cleaning mirrors keep for the
purpose a piece of sponge, a cloth and
q silk handkerchief, all entirely free
from dirt, as the least grit will scratch
the surface of the glass. First sponge
the glass with a little spirits Of wine or
gin and water, so as to clean Off all

tied in muslin. Rub it off lightly and
quickly with the cloth, and finish by
rubbing with the silk handkerchief.
Do not rub the edges Of the frame.
There Is almost as much nutrition In
a pint of milk as in a quarter OF a
pound of meat, and 1t is digested In
one-third of the time. Milk is human
food. and should agree with every
young person. 1t is not appreciated as
it should be; the prejudice against it is
unmerited. A little lime water will
make cold milk agreeable with a whim-
steal stomach, and anybody can drink
boiled milk with salt. Next to pure
milk comes milk f~oods-cereals, GUS
tards, purees. etc.
A u of clam broth made from fresh
clans and unSeaSoned is a most accep-
table bit Of nourishment after q sick
headache. Often the stomach will toll
crate il, when all other forms Of food
are exceedingly distasteful. The broth
should be strong, and can then be di'
luted according to taste. A little of n
may be frozen, or diluted with ice wa
ter if cold food is advisable. If at q
distance from supplies, it is well to
have a few bottles of clam juice in the
store room.

Paper telegraph poles are the latest
development Of the art of making pa
per useful. These poles are said to be
made Of paper pulp, in which boraX,tal

ties. The pulp is cast into q mould
with a core in the center, forming a
hollow rod of the desired length. the
c~ross-pieces being held by key-shaped
wooden pieces driven in on either side
ofw the pole. The paper poles are said
to be lighter and stronger than those
of wood. and to be unaffected by sun,
rain, dampness, or any of the other
causes which shorten the life of a
wooden pole.

A curious wedding took place at Rom

A curious wedding took place at Rom
ford Abbey Church, England, recently
both parties being deaf and dumb. A
deaf and dumb clergyman was expect

Cold Burns.

NJ, Pistet has had somesingu lar en-
periences with cold burns in the course
of his experiments on liquefying gases.
In one kind of burn the skin is red
dened and turns blue next day, the
area of the spot increasing, and the
cure being delayed for five or six
weeks. This class of burn is attend
ed with painful itching, and the suffer-
err is apt to regard a wholesome heat
burn as a luxury by contrast. In an
even more serious kind of burn, due
to greater cold or longer contact with
the cold body, the skin is detached, and
the parts reached by the cold behave
like foreign substances. S~uppuration
sents in, the sore is malignant, and a
scar is produced. NJ. Picet accidentlly
scorched his hand with fire at the same
time as he burnt it with liquid air, and
while the ordinary burn healed in ten
or twelve days. the other was badsfor
six months. To try the effect of losing
heat by simple radiation in cold air, NJ.
Picet plunged his bare arm into re-
frigerated air at a temperature of 100
degrees c.. below zero, without touch
ing the walls Of the vessel. The result
was a painful and indescribable sensa-
tion. having it's seat in the central
bone. The skin soon turned blue, and
at the end of ten minutes a strong
reaction, was experienced. accom-
panied by superficial Inflammation OF
the skin. This reaction is an intensi'
fed form Of the effect of handling snow
for some time.

Spontaneous Combustion of Car
goes.

According to L. Ioepke, says Cos
mos, Paris, spontaneous combustion Of
shiploads of coal is to be attributed to
slow oxidation and the consequent
production of heat. The danger in
creases with the amount of surface ex-
posed to the air, and is greatest in the
ease of coal dust. The author does not
believe in the possibility Of the spon-
taneous Inflammation of moist cot
ton, but it is possible that a spark
falling accidently Oh the mass may
cause it to sToldcr slowly for weeks
and finally to burst into a blaze which
is then wrongly attributed to spontan-
eous combustion. Oily cotton, on the
contrary, easily infames spontaneously
and so do linen, jute, tobacco and Ill
vers other products.

Sam Spence's Strange Adventure.

A queer story comes from North
Carolina. Sam Spence, a col"red man
of Union County, was in the woods
gathering wild grapes. He climbed a
tree and slipped off. His foot became
entangled in the vines and he was sus-
pended in the air by one foot. Spence
had to wait for assistance, which did
not arrived or more than an hour. The
blood all flowed toward his head, and
after he was taken down he was very
sick. Since that time all the wool on
his head has pulled out, and he Is get

His skin first began fading in spots,
which have now spread all over his

The Calerifc Value of Smoke.

An engineering journal, in discussing
various popular misconceptions OF
scientific phenomena, refers to the fire.
quency with which it is stated that
large amounts of valuable fuel are
poured into the air in the form of
smoke from the chimneys Of factories
and the tunnels of steamers. Such
statements are now declared to be al
most entirely without foundation, and
it is held, that no appreciable economy
is likely to be effected by smoke-con-
Stunning devices and that manufacturers
should demard before adopting them
much more convincing and sounder
reasons than those usually given. h
analysis of a series Of furnace gases
made by a committee of h English
Institution of Mechanical Engineers,
showed absolutely no carbonic oxide
in any of the eighteen samples taken
from each funnel. The city analyst OF
Glasgow, Scotland. maintains, as the
result Of analysis, that in all ordinary
coal the heating power of the Whole
of the hydrocarbons is only a small
proportion of the total, and hence,
ever if the whole of these escaped
combustion entirely, the loss would
not be so serious as it is commonly
stated to be. Even SCOT contains only
about 60 per cent of combustible ma
terial, and samples collected from
heavy smoke showed only 51.46 grains
of SCOT per 10 cubic feet of furnace
gases. The SCOT consists largely OF
1o;norol or incomhIStihle matter, Care
full experiments show that the solid
combustible matter of the smoke can
only account for the very small per-
centage of OLA Of the total heating
power which can be obtained from the
coal. The conclusion reached is that
the real waste in smoke is very small
indeed, and the popular belief in i'm
mense loss from this u is simply
a fallacy. and is decidedly not cor
roborated by experiment.

ALBANY, Nov. 8.-Five thousand people
tostled and pushed and defled the police in
such manner in the Union station yes
terday afternoon that all control Of them
was lost and the officers were simply
Obliged to stand by and aid women, who
had unluckily gotten into a crush, or clear
the tracks when train appeared. Even
the approach Of an engine did not seem to
make the vast assemblage move, and when
the train bearing ex-President Harrison
rolled into the depot yard, at 4;30 the en-
gineer had to stop several times in order
to avoid running down some Of the crowd.
AS soon as the train stopped the crowd
stlrged forward towards it, carrying
screaming women and children, and sew
eral women were taken out with difficulty
In fainting condition. Such scene has
never been witnessed in Albany before.
Not only was the platform and yard
crowded with people, but the roofs Of the
sheds were black, and when the train
stopped men and boys climbed on top of
the roof of the cars.

and cheered when he stepped out upon the
platform, and 1t was some minutes before
he could speak His words were only heard
by the people within radius of fifty feet,

The Injury Accomplished BY the Repeal
of Our Reciprocity Laws.
We think you may be interested I'm
the following facts, showing the effect
Of the abrogation of the treaties between
this country and Cuba and Brazil First
we will offer comparative statement
Of tho exports of -four to Cuba. For the
year ending June 30, 1891, shortly aft
err the treaty had taken effect, we ex-
ported 242, $50 barrels of flour; for the
year ending June 30, 1899, 52s, Sa2
barrels; in tho year ending June 80,
1893, 1888, 459 barrels; in the year end
ing June 80, 1894, 1858, 06l barrels. Had
the relations brought about by the re-
ctprocal treaty continued, We certainly
would have shipped at least 1000, 900
barrels of -four to Cuba this year. You
will observe the steady increase in our
exports since this treaty was effected
To Brazil we shipped for the year end
ing. June 30, 1894, $40, 500 barrels. an
increase of 100. 600 barrels over the pre-
vious year. To other South American
countries, with which W. have treaties,
we sent over 600. 600 barrels Of -four
last year. We are advised that all Of
these countries will probably before the
LIST Of January abrogate these treaties.
In all Of these countries we have lost an
aggregate market for the present, with
no telling what the future would have
brought forth, of nearly 1000, 900 bar
rels Of flour. As you are aware, none Of
these countries is wheat producing, and
Is not possessed Of milling industry.
For this reason 1t cannot be said that
the market, by being lost to the Ameri-
can miller, is not lost to the American
farmer. Tho market is lost to the farmer
Just as completely as to the miller The
-four that will be- placed in these coun-
tries in the future will be placed there
by countries grinding the cheap Euro
pean and Indian wheats. Reduce 8, 000,.
900 barrels of -four to wheat, at Az
bushels to the barrel, you have Is, $780,
900 bushels Of wheat, for which the
farmer has lost q market. Perhaps you
have not noticed that the duty levied by
Spain on American flour going to Cuba is
75 cents higher than flour coming from
any other countries, showing desire on
the part Of Spain to discriminate against
American -four in favor of the world
The duty on American -four to Cuba is
g. rs. while from all other countries it
is 81. From Spain, of course, it is free
