Wooden Materials.

Wooden materials are always more por-
GUS than linen fabrics, and it is mainly
owing to this fact that the one is warmer
than the other. Air in common with gas
eous bodies generally is an extremely bad
conductor of heat, but this property can;
not be easily demonstrated, owing to the
extreme mobility of PARTICLES of air. If
such motion be hindered or retarded, the
conductivity of air becomes very small. We
make use Of this property of cir in various
ways. If we wish to keep liquid warm,
it is placed in vessel and surrounded by
shavings, straw and the like, which entan-
gle large volumes of air in their meshes.
A more obvious illustration is afforded
by double windows, which are often used
in cold climates to keep rooms warm. The
effect is really due to the nonconducting
layer of air interposed between them. 1t
is for the same reason that two shirts are
warmer than one of the same material, but
Of double the thickness. The Chinese and
japanese adopt the plan of wearing many
layers of clothing, each layer being formed
almost exactly like its fellow. By dimin-
ishing or increasing the number of layers
the wearers protect themselves against the
vicissitudes of climate Fortnightly Re

Small Change.

Small change is indispensable in going
about city. To have only S. bill in
ones purse when riding in an omnibus
or car is almost as bad as to have no mon
ey. One requires small change, and the
thoughtful husband supplies his wife with
bright 10 cent pieces and shining quarters
just as regularly as with fresh greenbacks
A woman prefers new and fresh money to
that which is greasy and soiled, if she can
have her choice, and a certain good man,
known and loved in large circle, always
makes a point of bringing home to his
family the wherewithal for domestic ex-
penses in very dainty shape. He is de-
servedly favorite.
Small change is as valuable in the com
merce Of life in other departments as in
that of the exchequer. There are people
who can talk extremely well on learned and
serious subjects, but they have no small
change. The quick jest and easy repartee
of the drawing room are not for them.
Helplessly and hopelessly, with gloom set
ting over their faces and despair in their
souls, they sit by while less gifted people
chat and laugh and have good times. The
trouble is they are destitute of small
chaDge.-Harper's Bazaar.

WHY HOODS WINS.

President Lincoln said: you cannot
fool the people second time" They
are too quick to recognize real merit or
lack of it, and cling only to those things
which they find to be what is claimed
for them.
1t is especially gratifying that the sale
of Hoods Sarsapariia increases most
rapidly in those sections where it is best
known.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has proven that it possesses genu-
inc merit. 1t maintains high standard,
which others cannot even approach. 1t
is the peoples favorite blood purifying
and building-up medicine, and is more
popular this year than ever before. All
this because HOOPS CURES.

Danger In the Bath.

Some of the facts recently brought to
light on the philosophy of bathing are as in
teresting as they are important, and special
mention may be made of the investigations
in this line by M, Wertheimer of Paris and
now communicated by him to the public.
He shows that a sensation of cold on the
skin acts on the circulation of the lower
part of the trunk-that is to say, on the
veins, and also on the brain-in the same
way as a mechanical or electrical stimulus
of the sensitive nerves of the skin. This
observation, it is declared, affords an ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that a sudden INNER
sion of the body in cold water after meal,
and while the process of digestion is going
on, may be attended with danger. At such
time the abdominal system is the seat of
intense physiological congestion, and the
accumulation of blood in it is suddenly
thrown back toward the nervous centers,
and the consequence may be disorder re-
sulting in death.-New York Tribune.

A STARTLING FACT.

Sixteen Per Cent of Life Insurance AppIi-
cants Rejected on Account of Diseased
Kidneys.
DR.. Lambert, the general medical di-
rector of the Equitable Life Insurance
Company, New York, said:
I'VE reject sixteen per cent of the applications
made to us for insurance, and l have saved tho
entire expense Of this medical departing by tn,
rejection alone Of applicants who had diseased
kidneys and who died within two years after
rejected them"
This appalling statement should have
the attention Of our citizens. There is
no reason to-day, why people should al
low kidney disease to get such hold on
them.
Nature sends her warning in the slight
pain in the back, poor circulation of the
blood. sediment in the urine. When any
OF these symptoms appear, DR.. David
Kennedy's FavOIite Remedy should be
taken IN small doses at once, and thus
drive the poison out of the blood and re-
store the kidneys to healthy action. To
our knowledge this is the only medicine
that surely cures this almost uni .ersal
complaint.
We note the recovery of Mr.. Oscar
Lambert, of Jericho, No. whose case has
been talked of in the papers the world
over.
Quoting from his letter to the Press,
Mr.. Lambert says:
Il neglt cited the first symptoms until fund
myself III bed with Il complicated disease of the
Kidneys. No moral suffered more and
lived MY physicians failed Co help me- | then
used hr. David kennedys Favorite Remedy. 1t
relieved my kidney almost Immediately, andiu

cured
Mrs. A. j. Manchester of Providence
r. L., writes:
~ began using DR.. Kennedv's Favorite Rene
dy for sidney disease, when debtors failed to re-
heye me. 1t drove bad h,mor out of my blood
and cured my kidney trouble"
Favorite Remedy has had more free
advertising in the columns of the daily
papers than anything we know of, from
the fact that it does as promised-Cures
disease.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING,

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy use a must be non
irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be
accomplished with douches, snufrs,
powders or astringents, because they are
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be aban-
dOned as worse than failures. A multi

all the worry and pain that catarrh can
