Utility OF Compressed Air.

In the West Shore shops. Mt New
Durham, n. j., compressed air is
utilized in various ways. Oil is emp
tied from barrels into tanks by its
means, and cars are rapidly aud ef-
fectually cleaned. 1t is the most
thorough duster, reaching every crack
and crevice and roofing out dust, dirt
and shreds with lightning rapidity.
1t even penetrates to the depths of up
holstery and tufting. There is talk
of introducing it into the hotels,
where instead of the maid with broom
and dust-pan we may soon seea stall
wart man with II hose blowing the
dust ont of the rooms and cleaning
them as beater and whisk broom have
never been able to do. New York

EVIL COMPANIONS.

Society Is the atmosphere Of souls, and we
necessarily imbhe from 1t something which
Is either infectious or su uhriOus. The society
OF yirtuous persons Is enjoyed beyond their
company while vice carries a sting into sOli-
tude. The society or company you keep, Is
both the indication OF your character and the
former OF it, In company when the pores OF
the mind are opened, there requires more
caution than usual because the mind il pas

you or 1t will bo def ated. In such
society you may feel your reverence for
the dictates of conscience wear
