Halls Journal of Healthy saws:
Don't economic in bath water. Don't

shakes up the system, makes the blood

going to laugh when the rent day is

you have boil, or the blues. or the

but most people have got to be worked
up into funny mood. Got to have
good digestion, steady job, something
to eat and something to wear. If every

An experiment of some Importance
is reported, made with a view to deter
mine, if possible, the origin of natural
gas, irrespective of theories hitherto
prevalent. For this purpose dried sea-
weed was stepped in water which had
been freed from air, and on the third
day gas appeared, continuing to be
evolved in diminishing quantities until
the tenth day, when 800 cubic centimet-
ers had been collected. The evolution
had evidently ceased, though after
standing two years and half thirty
cubic centimeters more of gas collect
ed in the apparatus; the second gas diff
fered from the first, consisting, it is re-
corded, almost entirely of methane-
the chief constituent of natural gas
from which it is inferred that this slow
secondary decomposition of vegetable
matter has some relation to the origin
of natural gas.

He had been appointed secretary,

1t was the unwritten law that the
very old and inn-m, all cripples, and
incurables, should be exempt from
taxation. The natives were unwill-
ing to pay taxes, so they prepared for
the meeting.
Many who were young men and In
the best physical condition came In,

with trembling steps. Some walked

Charles R. Sigh of Grand Rapids
has just returned from England, where
ne has been looking over the prospects
OF establishing furniture trade in
the English market. He is very conf
dent from his observations that sub
stantial and profitable trade can be es-
tablished if the American manufactur-
ers will comply with the English ideas
OF style and finish. It is useless. he
thinks, to try to force goods upon the
English market which are not built on
the accepted lines, but by making nee
essary changes goods can be manufac-
tured here and sold in England in com
petition with the English manufactur-
ers at a substantial profit. 1t is his
purpose to manufacture line of goods
especially for the foreign trade, follow
ing ideas which he gained abroad.

The Gillian congress has recently
enacted legislation guaranteeing the
capital of the Transandine Railway
Company for 20 years at Az per cent,
which virtual subsidy will enable the
completion of the road between the two
oceans. The line will do a great deal
Tor South America. Its completion will
mean that the long journey around Cape
Horn is only for cargoes and that pas
sengers instead of prolonging voyage
about two weeks can reach the Pacific
rom the Atlantic or vice versa in 70
hours. The gain afforded by this route
can be imagined. Chill is brought some
thousands of miles nearer the United
