The nBreathing, Of a Locomotive.

The breathing" of o locomotive
that is to say, the number of puffs
riyen by q railway engine during its
iourney-depends entirely upon the
circumference of. its driving-wheels.
No matter what the rate of speed may
be, for every one round of the driving
wheels, a locomotive will give four
puffs, two out of each cylinder, the
cylinders being double.
The sizes of driving-wheels vary.
some being eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
and even twenty-five feet in circumfer-
ence, although they are generally made
about twenty feet.
The express speed varies from fifty.
four to f~fty-eight miles an hour. TAX
ing the average circumference of the
driying-wheel to be twenty feet and
the speed per hour fifty miles, a loco
motive will give, going at express
speed, $50 puffs per minute, or 50, 800
puffs per hour, the wheel revolving
is, 200 times in sixty minutes, giving
1876 puffs per mile. Therefore an ex-
press going from London to Liverpool,
. distance of 201t miles, will throw
out 2lS, O4S puffs before arriving at its
destination.
Daring the tourist season of 1888
the journey from Londonto Edinburgh
was accomplished in less than eight
hours, the distance being 401 miles,
giving o speed of fifty miles an hour.
A locomotive of an express train from
London to Edinburgh, subject to the
above conditions. will give 42S, 456
nufs. Yankee Blade.

Creakfug Boots.

The creaklng of a boot has nothing
whatsoever TO do with the class Of
leather out of which tits constructed.
1t creaks for the following reasons:
Every sole of a boot is composed of
two separate pieces Of leather. In
walking, these two pieces OF leather,
In spite Of their being sewed firmly
together, often rub against each
other, and hence the noise.
But a boot does not always creak
at the sole. 1t may come from the
heel, and then 1t is caused by what
is known as the 'tstiffener," or the
material which is put in to make the
leather which covers the heel stiff,
becoming loose and moving about.
The cure for the creaklng sole is as
follows: The second sole must be
taken off, and some soft material,
like felt, placed between the two
soles, and thenceforth the boots will
be noiseless.
II it Is the heel that is at fault,
the '~stifiener" must be securely
sewed in, and some French chalk
may be put in between it and the
leather, thereby ~lessening the fric-
tion by which the noise is caused.
Sometimes standing the soles of a
pair OF creaking boots In oil for
twenty-four hours will have the de.
sired effect, but this remedy is not
always successful

GOOD FOOD NOT THE DEAREST.

By slow process of cooking, such as
stewing, brazing, etc, says Maria Far-
loa, it is possible to produce palataole
and nutritious food from the cheapest
cuts of meat. If one will select the
fish that is abundant in that nelghbor-
hood where he lives, rather than tho
rarer kinds, it may, with a little care
and skill in the preparation, be made
to rival the more expensive kinds.
Green vegetables are never cheap
when they first come, nor when the
season for them is nearly over; but
when the market is supplied in u
dance they are not only cheaper, but
being grown nearer home, are better.
1t will be best, therefore, to use these
vegetables only when they are cheap.
A fresh vegetable diet is not cheap IN
a large city. Still fresh vegetables are
necessary to perfect health, and they
should be provided for the table when
ever they are in season and within
ones means Macaroni, rice, dried
beans, ETC., are economical and nutri-
tious.
Canned corn, when of the best kind,
is a most satisfactory vegetable; so are
canned tomatoes, which can be served
in soups, sauces, and as n vegetable,
simply stewed or escalloped. Cheese,
when properly cooked, is healhful and
nutritious. In a perfect Welsh rare
bit, or when toasted or combined with
macaroni, cheese makes an appetizing,
wholesome and economical dish.

Birds Ern View Of Uganda.

The little Kingdom of Uganda is ct
present in the focus Of the public eye.
Whether or not England will extend a
protectorate over it is one of the serious
questions which Mr.. G~ladstone's Govern
ment will have to decide, and on this
decision rests the welfare of many thou
sands of natives and large and rapidly
increasing commercial interests. The
following gives an idea of the country:
Uganda is part Of the Imperial British
East African Company's possessions,
which were coded to them in 1888 by
the Sultan on a fifty years. lease at an
annual rental of $50, 600. British East
Africa extends along the Zanzibar coast
400 miles southwark from the mouth of
the Juba River, almost to Zanzibar. 1t
is a narrow wedge reaching from the
coast inland in a northwesterly direction
to Nubia aud the sources of the Nile. 1t
is bounded on the southern part by Ger
man East Africa and the Congo Free
State, and on the north by Abyssinia
and Somal, containing in all almost one
million square miles.
The customs in 1888 amounted to
$50, 900, in 1889 to $50, 600, in 1890 to
$40, 600, and in the last two years has
been rapidly increasing. Treaty have
been made with the tribes between the
coast and the Syanza lakes, the sources
of the Nile, by which free access is given
to the rich country of Urganda, lying
Just to the west Of Victoria Nyarza.
Three hundred miles of this inland
Journey can be made on the River Tana,
which flows in a southwesterly direction
almost through the centre of the ter
ritory. The trade, at present prin-
cipally in the hands OF Bantam or East
Indian merchants, consists of exports Of
cloves, sesame seed, ivory, india rubber,
gum, copra, coir, orchells weed, hides,
ETC., and the imports Of Manchester
goods, iron and copper wire, beads aud
articles of barter.
The country is being peacefully opened
BIZ exploring caravans bearing trade
goods. The company in control has a
large force Differed by E~nglshmen,
| but the natives are peaceful and incline
| to DO industrious, and slavery is beins
gradually abolished. A coast railway,
telegraphs, a submarine cable to zanzibar
| and substantial dock and harDor i'm
proyements are among the latest English
introductions.
The Jealousy of the other Government
! which surround these possessions ant
the yagueness Of these unsurveyed aud
underlined boundaries have already
aroused some friction in European diplo'
matte circles, and there will probably b.
much more before the boundary question
is definitely settled. This rich little
