A new invention, called by its IN
ventor the thermogen, consists of
quilt containing coil of wire bent in
the fashion of a gridiron, inclosed in
insulating and nonconducting mate
rial, and embedded in cotton, wool,
or other soft substance with silk or
wooden covering.
The resistance offered by the coil to
the flow of an electric current through
the wire produces heat in the same
way that heat and eventually light
are produced in the filament of the
glow lamp.
A uniform temperature of about 100
degrees F. is thus maintained, but in
the event of the temperature rising
beyond that point from increase of
pressure in the electric mains, fuse
instantly melts and automatically
shuts off the current. The quilt may
be readily attached to ordinary mean
descent lamp terminals. London

The popular notion that spring is
the time to look after the cellars is
mistake. By that time the seeds of
disease may DE sown, and the clean
ing come too late. After the walls are
well swept, and every decaying frag-
ment taken out, set a pan of Goals on
the floor and throw on it a spoonful
of sulphur; or, better still, piece of
stick birthstone. Close the windows
and doors till it burns away, and it
will destroy all germ diseases with
which it comes in contact.

LADIES' COLUMN.
THE UNFRAMED DAUGHTER.

Why should not girl be taught
book keeping and some of the more
common business forms? writes Ellis
abeth Robinson Scovil in the May
LADIES' Home Journal. Men pity, or
laugh at, the incapacity of the vast
majority of women. 1t is often only
due to want of proper instruction, and
why should not this be supplied?
Some girls have passion for flow
ers, and plants grow and thrive under
their coaxing fingers without much
apparent effort on their part. Such
may find their vocation in the man
agement of a greenhouse. Raising
flower seeds is remunerative Occu-
patton. Choice pansy seed is sold at
seven dollars an ounce at retail, rare
ones at double that price, and some
varieties Of verbenas at three dollars
an ounce. Cut flowers always com
mand a good price in winter, spring
flowers at Easter and choice flowers
all the year round.
The care of precious house plants
for absent owners, supplying potted
plants and ferns for the decoration of
dinner tables and drawing rooms, help
to swell the balance. Some florists
not only supply the flowers but ar
range them in their recepta cles, charg-
ing an extra sum for the service.
A girl choosing this occupation
thoroughly under an experienced
florist, and should also have little
capital to begin with.
There are SO many good technical
schools now that there need be little
difficulty in obtaining excellent in
struction in whatever avocation it is
wished to take up.

WHATA COMMA DID.

1t pays to be careful, and the value
of care in little things is we'll shown i'll
this item from the Youths Instructor:
There was time when the punctu-
alton marks as now used in common
print were not known, and as the re-
suit it was often more or less difficult
to arrive at the exact meaning of the
writer; and to avoid this the points
were introduced.
Of course, about the smallest and
apparently the most insignificant Of
them all is the comma, but it's misuse
is often the cause of very annoying
mistakes, as well as loss of money. 1t
should be the aim of those now in
school to learn thoroughly how to use
this little mark, and never be guilty
of making a mistake like the follow
ing, an account of which we read not
long ago:
1t seems that some twenty years or
so ago, when the United States by it's
congress was making tariff bill, one
of the sections enumerated what arti-
cles should be admitted free of duty.
Among the many articles specified
were "all foreign fruit plants" etc,
meaning plants imported for trans
planting, propa cation, or experiment.
The engrossing clerk in copying the
bill accidentally changed the hyphen
in the compound word, "fruit plants"
to a comma, making it read call for
eign fruit, plants" etc.
AS the result of this simple mistake,
for a year, or until congress could
remedy the blunder, all the oranges,
lemons, bananas, grapes, and other
fruits were admitted free of duty.
This little mistake, which any one
would be liable to make, yet which
could have been avoided by careful
ness, cost the government not less
than two million dollars. A pretty
costly comma that.

w. G. T. u. COLUMN.
Motto: ''God and Home and Native Land -
LONGEVITY OF TOTAL
ABSTATNERS

Many important cases in law are de-
cided upon purely circumstantia1 evil
dence. Both scientific and theologi-
cal conclusions and dogmas are often
found to rest upon nothing better
than inferential evidence But cir
cumstances may be msiconceived and
differences may often lead to false
conclusions.
1t is upon this false basis that the
war of words against prohibition and
total abstinence has always been con-
Quoted; at the same time absolute
proof, supported by actual demonstra-
ton, and illustrated from life, is ever
persistently demanded of those who
believe that national or individual
rightness is impossible without total
abstinence from all intoxicants.
Have we such proof? We have.
Time and again it has been produced,
and as often has it been ignored by
them.
Among many others, we can point
with pride to the life and life work of
Gen. Neal Dow as a proof that total
abstinence, in practice and as a prin-
ciple, is benedict direct and indicect
in it's effects upon life and character.
Thousands of his fellowmen who be-
gan life with him, under auspices as
favorable as his have fallen by his
side during the last forty years, in the
prime of their manhood, without hav-
ing accomplished their allotted work.
Total abstinence would have saved
them. Moderate drinking led them
to an untimely death.
A noted statistician of England, af-
ter long and careful investigations,
comparisons and observations, has es
tablished the following facts, publish
ed in the New York Witness some time
ago:
Between the ages of fifteen and
twenty, where ten total abstainers
die, eighteen moderate drinkers die.
Between the ages of twenty and thir-
ty, ten of the former and thirty one
of the latter. Between thirty and for
ty years, forty moderate drinkers to
ten abstainers die.
That is: A total abstainer twenty
years old has fair chance of living
only fifteen and one half years longer.
At thirty years total abstainer has
a chance of living thirty six and one
half years longer; a moderate drinker
at the same age only thirteen and
half years.
At forty a total abstainer has
chance of living twenty eight years
more, and a moderate drinker only
eleven and two thirds.
We may talk and write as eloquent
ly as we will about the "fifteen hum
dred millions" annually spent in our
own nation for Intoxicating liquors,
but half the truth is not told unless
we add the actual money value of the
wasted mental and physical resourc-
es of thousands Of otherwise noble
and useful citizens, destroyed by that
insidious enemy of characterization.

IT'S JUST LIKE Il WOMAN

To scold about little troubles and be
brave about big ones.
To overestimate their own beauty
far less than they underestimate their
own goodness.
To faint at mice and spank tigers
with broomstick.
To value baby above the world;
or a pug above baby.
To keep nine commandments more
easily than the tenth.
To look at the most undeserving of
men through the kindly spectacles of
pity.
To try independence, succeed in it,
but prefer it not.
To toll life long for social position,
or throw it away for love in an in
slant.
To retain, despite many bitter ex-
periences, the trust Of a good heart in
human nature.

was told by her doctors she had consumption
and that there was no hope for her, but two
bottles DR.. Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida ST., San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching
consumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He
is naturally thankful. 1t is such results, of
which these are samples, that prove the won

How speedily a new year grows to
be partially old! Can it be four
months since the season of fresh res
olutions and more earnest consecra-
ton to the serious work of life? Some
of US may be experiencing that bard
est of all tests in the Christian life-a
period of reaction, when earnest pur-
poses flag and a humiliating sense of
only partial accomplishment of what
we undertook SO bravely at the open
ing OF the year. But the beautiful
thing about our Christian faith is that
its watchword is always forward.
Eight months remain in which to rise
to heights of sacrifice, to fulfil more
faithfully the simple duty of every
day. To all of us every new observ-
ance of the Holy Supper should mark
a deepening of the sense of RESPONSE
bility to God and of our duty to our
Congregationalist.

CURIOUS VA VS. OF NAMING BABY.

A Hindoo baby is named when twelve
days old, and usually by the mother.
Sometimes the father wishes for an
other name than the one selected by
the mother, in that case two lamps
are placed over the two names, and
the name over which the lamp burns
the brightest is the one given to the
child.
In the Egyptian family, the parents
choose a name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles, to each of these
they give a name, one of the three
always being some deified parsonage.
The candle that burns the longest be-
slows the name upon the baby.
The Mohammedans sometimes write
desirable names on five slips Of paper,
and these they place in the Koran.
The name upon the first slip drawn
out is given to the child.
The children of the Amos, people
living in northern Japan, do not re-
ceive their names until they are five
years old. 1t is the father who then
chooses the name by which the child
is afterwards to be called.
The Chinese give their boy babies a
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by
these names until they are twenty
years old. At that age the father
gives his son new name.
The Chinese care so little for the
girl babies that they do not give them
a baby name, but just call them Num-
Der One, Number Two, Number
Three, and so on, according to their
birth.

AS we all know, horses became
very scarce toward the end of the
war, and as dismOunted cavalrymen
were sent to the infantry, remount
became a serious question with many
troopers. jim of the ROckbridge
troop had lost his horse and unable
to get another, possessed himself of
white mule named Simon. Jim be-
came very proud of his mule, and
was loud in his praises. "He never
gets tired, lives on nothin' and has
got more sense than the general,
asserted Jim. But one day squad
was enjoying a dinner with sympa-
thetic farmer when a sudden alarm
was given " Run, boys, run! the
Yankees are coming! " There was
mounting in hot haste, and some es-
capped by the front gate, and some by
the rear Jim dashed at the front
gate, but Simon displaying his mule
nature for the first time, baked. Jim
wheeled him around and drove him
at the rear gate, but Simon baked
again. Poor Jim looked over his
shoulder, saw the blue coats rapidly
approaching, threw his arms around
Simon's neck, and called in agonized
tones: ooh, Simon, for heavens sake
go somewhere!
