Cotton Factory Experiments.

A system of moistening the air of a
cotton factory-as is required in some
departments of a mill before blowing it
into the rooms-has been the subject of
much experiment. 1t has been found
that, if a jet of steam or vapor is dis
charged into the main duct any degree
of humidity desired can be obtained, but
all the air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to the different rooms by the
risers leading thereto. That, however,
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in a cotton mill may not prove
equally favorable for another.
Then, too, the introduction of moist
ure at this point may work disastrously
to the walls of the ducts and risers. 1t
is now found that this objection may be
overcome at a small expense, by carry
ing a steam pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the fiue, through which the air enters
the room, an outlet with valves for regu-
lating the flow of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur
rent of air passing from the flue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Ex-
perience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value

The barber confessed that his face was

course was everybody's favorite too.
And when finally got home it was pref

tired of waiting, you see, and go on to
church alone. expecting me to follow.
But she hadn't. She sat with her things
on, and when saw her l was prepared
to catch it," and the talkative man gig
gled reflectively.
"And did you catch itY' prompted the
barber.
"Well, she wanted an explanation, and
of course told her the usual story about
having TO wait.
"'Well,' says she, you won't do no
more waiting around barber shops while
you and live together. You can shave
yourself in future

"'Yes, can, says she, and will.

her and keep peace in the family was to
let her try it once, so the next Sunday
submitted, telling her beforehand that
if she didn't give me clean shave and
no cuts, wouldn't go to church. Well,
sir. she gave me as good a shave as ever
got from a barber, and after that l let
her keep it up, and I've never been sorry
for it. l tell you, it's luxury there

The long strike of coal-mlncrS and coke work

nj least as many more TO lose Il month Of their

many respects. In money the wnSe-carners
have lost about 100000 day for two months
and half as much more for II month, or nearly
$40 900 900 This Is more than % cents ton
on all the biluminous coal mined In II year
within the district affected by the strike ana
the miners not only lost more than they could
hope 10 gain for year. but ended by accepting
no definite settlement whatever. In Ohio the
miners organization refuses 10 assent 10 the
arrangement. in Illinois part Of the miners ana
part of the operators do the same. and In Penn
sylyania part Of the operators. while the whole
arrangement Is made conditional upon the
muttlnl Observance Of the agreement by Op-
orators and miners both in the Pittsburg dis
trlci Certainly such slender results are not
often considered worth the expenditure Of
$50 100000 in money.
