Electricity in the Laundry,

The old maxim which inculcates the
inadvisability Of putting new wine into
old bottles hardly applies to the con-
diions under which electricity is called
in to supplement existing plants for in
dustrial purposes. Nowadays it is a
frequent occurrence to see an electrical
plant installed at few hours notice
in mill or factory that has logged
along with steam or water as it's mo-
tive power for a quarter or half cen
tury, and the change always means
quicker work and cheaper production
A rapid transformation of this kind
has been made in Devonshire, Eng,
where some large premises formerly
used as flour mills have been taken over
by steam laundry company. The old
mill Water-wheel was turned to account
in the driving of an eighty-light dyna-
mo, and not only is the whole building
Lit by electricity, but all the linen is
smoothed and CLOSED by means of cleo
trically heated irons, and at compare
lively small outlay the proprietor has
provided himself with a plant equal
to the requirements of an extensive
and profitable business.

six months it is four years this month,
since I was entirely well Of both those dis.
eases and havenever hadany signs of their ap-
pearance since and am satisfied the Favor
fte Prescription saved my life, for I could
hardly walk around when I commenced
taking that medicine and think it is Gods
blessing to me that I took it,
was pronounced incurable by the best
doctors here in the West I gave up all
hopes and made UP my mind that was to
be taken away from my husband and baby

could not eat anything at ALL In one week,
after beginning the use Of the Favorite Pre-
scription' my stomach was 50 much better
that l could eat anything: could see that I
was gaining all over, and my husband then
went and got mo six bottles took three Of
them and my stomach did not bother me any
more.
We sent to you and got the Peoples Com

rny case described just as was: we did
what the book told US, in every way In one
months time could see was much better

An English Serving Maid Who Re-
fused to Garry Coal for Clancarty

Yesterday at the Brampton county
court Capt. Head claimed ELS from the
earl Of Clancarty for breach Of agree
ment in the hiring of a furnished house,
40 Lowndes Square, says the West
minister Gazette. The defendant signed
an agreement to take the house in ques-
ton from Sept. % last to November
Is at the rent of 910O les. This docu-
ment contained a clause to the effect
that his lordship should retain on the
premises the landlords housemaid.
named White, the former paying her
8 shillings per week for washing and
beer and half her wages (f22 per an
NUM-, besides providing her with board
Shortly after his lordship and his serv-
ants took up their abode at 40 Lown-
des Square, the earl of Clancarty sent
the butler to the housemaid with an
order to make a fire in Lady Clan
carty's room. White replied that it
was not her place to carry coal while
an able-bodied footman was in the
house. Eventually, however, she did
light the fire, but expressed her opin-
ion that it was not her duty to carry
coal. His lordship, on being informed
of this, wrote her a note reprOving her
for what he termed 'impertinence''
and telling her to pack up and leave the
house. Later on Lord Clancarty offer
ed her a months wages in lieu of no.
tice, but the plaintiff declined to ac-
cept it or leave the house. She stated
that she was turned out at $50 p. m.
by the aid Of a policeman. One Of the
neighbors sheltered her until the morn
ing, when she took a train to her
parents home in Taunton. Defendant,
who was stated to be unable at present
to leave his reside ace at Ballinsloe,
Ireland was represented by counsel,
who stated the defense to be that the
girl on refusing to carry coal behaved
inpertinently, and defendant was legal
ly within his right in discharging her.
His honor said that clearly Lord Clan
carly had no authority to dismiss this
ser1 ant. He the learned judge did
not think in Il nobleman's family a
housemaid should be asked to carry
coal, and he was of opinion that the
girl had treated his lordship with the
greatest respect possible. He found for
the plaintiff for 913, but disallowed FL
railway fare and express to Taunton.
Judgment was entered accordingly,
with costs.

A VitnIiXin" Bath,

A sea salt bath, followed by an 'oil
rub" is an excellent daily habit for deli
cate women who need vitalizing. Sea
salt may be bought in three or five
pound boxes at druggists, and half
cupful dissolved in boiling water and
added to basin of lukewarm water
is enough for a sponge bath. The best
way to take it is to stand in the bath
tub, and; after sponging ones self from
head to foot, pour the remaining water
over the chest and shoulders. To be
entirely satisfactory the Oil must be ap-
piled by another person. Cocoanut oil
is the cheapest and best for the purpose,
and it should be rubbed into the skin
till no trace remains on the surface.
1t is most beneficial to have the bath
and rub just before going to bed, and
in any case the patient should rest
in reclining position for at least half
an hour after receiving the treatment

EgE-Eating by Fowls.

Egg eating hens are often the result
Of a habit formed by having access to
broken eggs, though in other cases
the habit comes from an mate hunger
born of the lack Of proper food ele-
ments containg the nitrogen and the
phosphate and eat the eggs to obtain
them.
The Poultry Yard says: The habit
CT egg-eating by the hen is, at times,
a very serious one with which to deal,
though never have been troubled with
it but once, and then for a short time
only. AS breed no fowls but Part
ridge ochins, I presume I am not
troubled as much as those who breed
the smaller kinds Of fowls for I think
the Asiatics are not so apt to acquire
the habit in question as are the smaller
breeds, for the former are generally
possessed of a quiet disposition, while
the latter, especially the Leghorns, are
very active.
AS preventives are better than cure,
l will suggest a few which practice.
According to my judgement the habit
Of egg eating is oftenest formed by hay
ing soft or thin-shelled eggs laid in the
nest. These are almost sure to be Drok-
en- by the hen while on the nest, and
she will be very apt to eat the broken
egg. Then, first, feed your hens shells,
meats and such a variety Of food that
all the eggs will be likely to have
hard shells.
Occasionally there is hen that never
lays other than soft-shelled eggs, and
she will soon acquire the habit Of eat
Ing eggs. The best remedy for such an
egg-eater is to give your hens plenty
OF work, especially the smaller breeds,
for Satin finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do Strew thiclz]y over
the hen house floor, or small yards,
leaves from the woods, or chaff from
the hay loft, in which scatter wheat,
oats, screenings or the coarser parts of
cracked corn. To find the food thus
scattered and partly hidden, will give
the hens capital employment during
the close confinement Of the winter
time and is most excellent to keep them
out of mischief.

In paper read before the Pacific
Coast Technical Society several weeks
ago. Admiral Jasper Henry Selwyn, a
retired British officer, made some sur
prising statements about the possibili-

pound of the best coal is equal to con-
verting sixteen pounds of water into
steam, but practically only half Of this
effect is realized under the most favor
able conditions. But with petroleum
there was theoretical value of p, and
in practice he himself secured the eva

Women Dealers in Real Estate.
LUCKY real estate speculations are
not confined to men in Pittsburg," said
a real estate agent yesterday. "There
Is one lady in this city who has built
and sold more houses in the last three
OR four years than any one else in the
business. She seems most fortunate in
her speculations, and often when 9TH
ers, who consider themselves better
versed in property, have advised her
not to make venture, she has gone
against them, following her own judg-
ment, and strangely enough, has al
ways succeeded. She has never been
known to make a losing deal, and her
reputation for good sound judgment
has caused many persons anxious to In
vest in dirt and bricks about the city
to consult her. I know Of another very
lucky woman who is making much
money in real estate deals. She is a
typewriter on Fourth avenue, and
started specializing by selling some lots
which were left her by relative. With
this money she bought other property.
This she sold at an increase, and so
she went on buying and selling until
to-day she has nearly $4,000 to her
credit. This sum she has amassed in
three years, with no capital to start
with but two lots, worth, possibly,
5000. There are many other like in
stances of lucky women in Pittsburg.'
