Washing Soft Coal Smoke.

First, the smoke is drawn from the
stack by powerful fan, and it is
then forced through a revolving cylin-
der into a tank filled with water. Per-
forated beaters are fixed to the back
of the cylinder and these drop into
the water and scrub or wash the
smoke, which is put back into the
chimney in the form of perfectly
pure vapor. The solid carbon,
which is washed from the smoke, is
brought out at the bottom of the
tank all bubbling and boiling over,
to all appearance black foaming
froth. The arrangement of the appa-
ratus allows an inspection of the
washing process, and of the vapor,
which, after the cleansing has been
performed in the tank below, is per-
fectly white and odorless, and
thrown through the chimney into the
air as steam. 1t is an interesting
fact that the black extract is admir-
ably adapted for use in the compo-
sition of paint and printing ink, while
the ammoniated water remaining
after the washing, possesses the
properties of a powerful disinfectant.

HARD TIMES.

The times are hard, and hunger and cold
Threaten and growl at many door;
The VOLTS long cry Is fierce and bold
Borne on the sullen night winds roar.
But this Is the hour for courage, Love,
For daring the foe with nerve and skill,
Meeting our care In the strength of prayer.
And waiting and working with steady
will.
We greet each other with CHEEKY signs
As we set our battle in brave array;
Closer we draw the household lines,
And calamity meet each dawning day.
Now and then, as the dark clouds rift,
We catch a glimpse of the sun on high,
And, heartened, together n song we lift
There's always blue in the upper sky.
The times are hard, but the children play,
And we tuck them under the coverlet
When we reach the end of each struggling
day,
And the starsin heaven for lamps are
set.
Then, Love, we look in each others eyes
And the kindling light Of triumph see.
Obi what does it matter that times are
hard,
When have you, Love, and you have
me?

Sword and Bayonet Forms.

The sabre used by the United
States cavalry is copied from the
cimeter of the Saracens, which was
the most effective sword for cutting
purposes ever devised. 1t will be re-
membered how, according to the
story told in Sir Walter Scott's "Tal.
isman," with such weapon the pa
gan Saladin chopped soft cushion
in two at one blow, to the amazement
of Richard Ceur de Leon. With q
straight sword one can make hack
or thrust, but to slice an adversary
one must saw with it. The cimeter,
being curved and wide and heavy to-
ward the end, slices by the mere fact
of striking. The kind of bayonets
chiefly used by the Federal troops
during the War of the Rebellion, was
the old triangular pattern. Sword
bayonets were also employed on guns
imported from. Europe. During the
last ten years the regulation bayonet
has been of the "ramrod" type-a
hideous instrument, cylindrical and
of the thickness of ramrod, with a
sharp screw point, like that of car
penter's bit. 1t is now to be replaced
with the knife bayonet, which some
what resembles butchers knife-is
twelve inches long with one edge. 1t
is quite as effective and much lighter
than the sword bayonet. The latter
is being dispensed with by most of
the European nations in favor of the
knife bayonet. The bayonet was a
French invention. In the early days
Of firearms soldiers used to carry
both guns and pixies, but the notion
of attaching the pike to the gun in
