traveller, ION a cold night, with three
feet of snow on a level out of doors l

course it didn't seem possible that mos

TifebOat P-OOcIie1 by Pumps.

While the propulsion Of boats by
Jets Of water thrown from them to the
rear Or to the front may not be econ
omical under ordinary conditions, it
has proved decidedly satisfactory in
lifeDoat service, where screw ilroDei-
lers and paddle wheels are alike in
admissible. The first boat of this sort
has been in service at Harwich, Eng,
for three years, and during that time
she has been out twenty-eight times,
and has saved fifty-one lives. Her sue
cess has led to the construction of a
second boat ON the same general style,
for which the plans were prepared by
the eminent yacht designer, G. L. Wat
son. who is trying to lay down lines
for q cutter to take back the Queens
cup to England. The new lifeboat is
So feet long, Is feet in the beam, and
has a depth Of 51a feet. Steam is
raised in a multitubular boiler and is
piped to a compound engine OF ID
Indicated horse power. driving two
centrifugal pumps, one on each side
of the boat. These pumps draw their
below the center Of the beat, and are
arranged so that they can throw pow
arful streams ahead. back or to either
side, there being six ports in all. The
boat is called the City Of Glasgow, and
has been stationed at Harwich in place
of the former boat, which has been
sent to New Brighton. On some recent
trials it was found that by means Of
ono of the stern jets alone, without
rudder. the boat could be turned in
the open sea in little over five min
utes. while, with both stern jets in
operation, the boat could be turned
with the rudder in about minute
md half. While going ahead at full
sneed she can be brought to a dead
stop and started astern III twenty sec

Suggestions by New York Farmers
Wife for COzy Home.
I have made plans suited to our own
needs on farm four miles from SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, that is devoted to fruit
and garden crops, with small dairy,
writes Mary A. G. Buell., in the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. We do not care for
the conventional parlor, and therefore
dispense with it, believing that the
hall, dining-room and living room af
ford all the necessary rooms for prac
teal use. The living room may be
used for bedroom if necessary, and
will be found exceedingly convenient
for either purpose. This house faces
to the west, SO that all the living rooms
have south windows, giving plenty of
sun for people and plants in the seven
cold months, while the hall is on the
north side and the generous yeranda
at the west, SO as to be particularly
desirable for summer use. The exterior
can be made as simple or ornate as
desired. (The suggestion for the eX-
terror illustrated herewith is by Gard
ner, Pyne & Gardner, but the floor
plans are exactly as submitted by Mrs.
Buell) There is a cellar under the
whole house, extending under the shed
and milk room, the latter space being
occupied by a large cistern, to catch
the roof drainage, which holds soft
water enough for long drouth. A
pine should connect this ciStern with
the pump that supplies the tank in the
attic. The coal bin is under the vesti-
bule. and the bin for the kitchen coal

Bread and Typhoid Fever.

A serious note of alarm was struck
last summer by Surgeon Major Rennie,
of the English army, who sent COM
munication to a London medical jour
nal, showing that typhoid fever was
spread at Meerut, in India, by half
baked, doughy plumcakes, eaten by the
soldiers of the English army at that
station, where impure water was used
in making the dough. A month later
Drs. Waldo and Welsh published their
experiments on the temperature at
which bread is baked and carefully
recorded the bacteria found in British
breads.

He knows that he cannot be elected

as if Tommie would like to be the Repub

defeat come before the national admin

right as the sacrificed leader of the party
to control the Federal patronage and tt
