1taly.. Unprontable Railways.


The Gorriere della Sea has just pub
hshed IN article On the Italian rail-
ways which says that 'out Of the 81
lines worked by the Mediterranean COM
pany, there are 80 which are worked at
slees and some whose expenses amount
to more than twice as much as their re-
ceipts. Many of these ines-the princi-
pal ones indeed-are now Is or 20 years
old, and yet are always in this disas-
hous condition. The investment Of cap
ital here is disastrous, because instead
Of gaining interest the investor has to
make continual grave sacrifices of money
without even any indirect benefit to the
regions were the lines pass. And what
is said of the Mediterranean company
may be said of all the companies Of
Italy,"
To this dark picture I will only add
that the railway debt of Italy is nearly
5 milliards, and that the annual railway
deficit is not less than 200, 600, 900 lire,
or more than the actual cost of the
army, which, when the expenses Of pub
lie security are deducted, is only about
800, 600, 600.

PRINTING SPEECHES.

Members Of the Present Congress Have
Broken the Record In This Respect.
There is one industry which is not in
the least affected by the hard times.
This is The Record division Of the gov
eminent printing Office, which has
charge of printing congressional speech
es for distribution. There has never
been congress when the presses were
worked so necessarily for this purpose.
Already over 5000, 900 speeches have
been sent out over the country under
congressional franks, and the number is
piling up daily Until by the close Of the
session it isexpected that it will far ex-
ceed any record which has hitherto been
made. Tom johnson alone gave an or
der for LOCO, 0O9 copies OF bis speech On
the income tax in the tariff bill He
leads the record.
But in the number Of speeches ordered
BY other congressman Burrows heads
the list. Over 200, 900 copies of his tar
if speech have been issued, and he hes
taken very few himself. Most Of them
have been sent to western farming con-
stituencies by Republican representa-
lives. Reeds speech at The close Of the
tariff debate IS not printed by the gov
ernment printing Office, but by onesof
the private concerns in Washington, and
this has just about equaled that of Bur-
rows. There isa great demand for Will
sons speech onthe Democratic side, and
tens of thousands Of copies of the speech
Of Crisp have also been sent out: Ia the
senate 20, 600 copies Of Senator Lodges
speech have gone out, many senators
ranking them to the college students in
their states Senator Morrill's speech is
also in great demand, and the first
speech delivered by Senator Hoar has
gained wide circulation. The efforts
of VOORHEES, and Mills, which opened and
closed respectively the general debate in
the senate, have been circulated almost
as widely by Republicans as by Demo

suggestions as to the Uses and Luxury OF
the Daily Baths In Summer Weather.
Every "a hours the human body loses
an amount of heat by radiation from the
surface during perspiration. But, con-
trary to what might seem probable at
first thought, this loss is oftener advan-
tageous than otherwise.
In this way an escape pipe, SO to
speak, is provided for the human mech
anism, and just as the escape pipe.o Of q
steam engine is self regulating, so for
tunately the radiation of the heat from
the surface Of the body is under the con-
troll Of the nervous system
When the fact is made apparent to
the nerve centers that the temperature
Of the body is getting too high. notice is
Immediately sent along the nerves to
open wider the blood vessels at the sur
face Of the body, with the result that
the blood flows nearer, the surface, the
sweat glands are stimulated to increased
action, more water is excreted by them,
and with the water goes OF the heat.
Since it is by this means largely that
the superduous heat of the body in
health as we'll as in disease is gotrid Of,
it is clearly very important, especially
at this time of the year, that the pores
Of the skin should never be allowed to
become clogged.
With the increased amount of dust in
the atmosphere and its natural propen-
sity for adhering to the perspiring body
the daily bath becomes more Of neces-
sity during the summer months than at
any other time Of the year. One should
take great care, however, that the bod
ly temperature is reduced as nearly as
rossible to normal before the bath is
faken. IL the temperature be somewhat
high and the body perspiring freely, the
danger Of taking cold will be increased
by reason of the sudden congestion Of
the blood in the dilated vessels at the
surface Of the body.
Much Of the advantage to be derived
from sea bathing will be lost unless the
crusts of salt that form in the pores of
the skin on the evaporation of the water
are removed by subsequent brisk towel
ing or fresh water sponging.
Not only is the perspiration an eff
cient means Of removing superfuous
heat, but by this same channel go out
many Of the waste products of the body.
These waste pro1ucts are always rela-
lively mcreasedin thesummer months,
and soft Is doubly impersant that dur:
ing this trying seasonSwe should keep

KEEP THE BABIES WARM.

A professional nurse of many years
experience tells me that she finds more
babies suffering from insufficient
clothing among the rich than among
the poor. For example, she was sum-
moned by a physician to wealthy
family where the five months old
baby was suffering from some mysteri-
ous trouble that baffled everybody.
He could live only few days, the doctor
said, if something was not done. He
could keep nothing on his stomach, and
was slowly starving to death. The
nurse found distracted mother and n
pinched and moaning baby. His flesh
was blue, and there was settled look
of anguish on his face.
The nurse picked him up from the
silk and laces of his costly crib and
found Just what she expected. Dress
and skirts of linen fine as gossamer
and about as warm shirts and socks
like lace flannel skirts of the reguia-
ton number, but SO fine and thin MS TO
give little warmth. Is this the way
you have dressed your baby from the
first ?" asked the nurse. "Of, yes, L Se
always had the best of everything fot
him." answered the mother. "Wei',
it's no wonder he is sick. He hash t
enough on to keep fly warm in
July" The nurse called for the thick
est blanket in the house and the hot
water bag, and sent the astonished
mother downtown for the warmest
flannel wrappers, however ugly they
might be. The result was that in n
few days the child was taking his food
perfectly, and was thriving rs well as
could be desired. -Babyhood.

AT The TURN or THE ROAD.

AT TH URN OF tn L ROAD.
Where the rough road turns, and the valley
sweet
Smiles bright with its balm and bloom,
Well forget the thorns that have pierced the
feet
And the nights with their grief and gloom,
And the sky will smile, and the stars will
beam,
And we'll lay us down in the light to dream,
We shall lay us down in the bloom and light
With prayer and a tear for rest
AS tired children who creep at night
To the love of mothers breast
And for all the grief of the stormy past,
Rest shall be sweeter at last tat last
Sweeter because of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts to the perfect day
With its spIendor Of light and song.
The light that shall bless us and kiss us and
love us
And sprinkle the roses OF heaven above us

To SteriliZe Water.

A savant of the University of Gene
va publishes in the Swiss Medical Re-
view new method of sterilizing water,
that is killing any organic germs that
may be in it, which is said to be at
once simple and eflicacious The pro-
cess consists in stirring into the water
a small quantity of permanganate OF
potash, which will instantly destroy
any living organism that the water
may contain, purifying perfectly even
stagnant water taken from putrld
pools. The permanganate imparts
color to the water, which is not fit to
drink in that condition. The addition
of a little charcoal in finely-pow-
dered state (bone charcoal being
recommended for the purpose), at once
relieves the water from the perman-
ganate, and makes it absolutely pure
and colorless Careful experiments
have demonstrated that water contain
ing ptomaines, and other deadly or
ganic poisons, is perfectly purified by
this process. SO that it may be drunk
with impunity. 1t is established be-
yond all doubt that cholera, typhoid
fever, and other dreaded diseases are
in most cases communicated through
drinking water and unless one Is per-
fectly sure of the purity of his water
supply, it would be we'll for him to
take the precaution by testing this

Convenient and useful cases for
knives, forks and spoons are made of
white cotton flannel. Half the ordi-
nary width of the flannel is the width

fold onto itself the length of the knife,
spoon or fork, and allow five inches at
the top, with rounded corners, for the
flap.
Bind with pretty braid, and stitch
the fold into twelve compartments
with the silk used for stitching on the
braid
When filed with silver, they are
conveniently rolled up, tied at one side
by piece of braid, and put away.
The silver is kept bright and un-
scratched in these cases.
Pin balls or pin cushions-and
neither name is exactly appropriate,
may be made by covering six uniform
circles of thin cardboard, about two
inches in diameter, with China silk.
The same color, different shades or
contrasting colors, may be used to suit
ones tastes.
Sew two circles together, back to
back, with silk. Procure baby ribbons
to match, and suspend the three at
different lengths from many-looped
bow.
Arrange the pins like rays from the
circles, having, if desired, different
sized pins for each circle. This makes
a useful and pretty ornament for the
parlor, as there is no room where pin
is needed more. Yankee Blade.

trees in shining coats of ice, every
twig sparkling in the sunlight. Yet
few take the trouble to inquire how
this comes to pass. 1t is very simple.
At the beginning of thaw the air,

boughs and twigs, and the moisture 1t
