Something About Filters,

Every year there are numbers Of filters
put on the market, each one setting forth
some special claim to excellence AS a
matter Of fact half dozen thicknesscs Of
fine soft cloth are exactly rs good as any
filters in the market. The cloth will not
remove disease germs from the water;
neither will any of the ordinary filters.
The cloth will take out organic matter
and objects large enough to be seen. Dis
case germs that must be ma9nified thou
sand times in order to be visible will go
through any of the substances used for fl
ters with as much case as mice will get
through a Stone pile There is moro fall
lacy to the square inch in filter theories
than in almost anything else with which
the general public has to do. 1t is great
mistake to suppose that the ordinary filter
is II protection against disease 1t not only
is not that, but it soon becomes most
prolific disease breeder; is, in fact, a hot
house for microbes and infinitely more
dangerous than unfiltered water. 1t is a
popular error that organic matter, espe
cially that which produces green scum, is
so Injurious. An uncontaminatcd pool
covered with u grcon blanket is much
more likely to be hcolthful than a spring
running perfectly clear, with its headwaters
near some cid dwelling and possibly re-
cciving the drainage Of cesspools or other
dangerous olcnents.-New York Ledger

Steam Oath at Home,

A hot steam bath in the home is q
luxury, but with little expense TN arrange
ment can be made which will furnish this
luxury to any home. The most primitive
way of making steam bath, and the
method which has been rcsorted to among
the Indian tribes, is to cover the individual
in some way with skins, blankets, tent
or box. Then a pail of water is placed
within the inclosure. A fire is then made
near the place and stones are heated
When the heated stones are dropped into
the water, it produces a large amount of
steam. This can very readily be arranged
by taking chair and placing rail of
water underneath and pinning blankets in
front and behind the patient to complete
ly cover him except the head. Small stones
are heated and placed in the pail one by
one until sufficient steam is generated TO
cause pcrspiration.

A SCHOOL FOR FIREMEN. = =

The school was organized in February-
1888, primarily FOR the purpose of instruq

ment. 1t gradually became enlarged in n

of instruction--not only for the new men
admitted on trial (called probationary
iiremen'), but for tho men already in serv-
ice-in tine use of all life saving apparatus
and in the many appliances used for fight
ing fire.
Before they had this new building in
East Sixty-seventh street the companies
were taught the use of the scaling ladders'
erd life net at an cid sugar warehouse'
near the foot of West One Hundred and
Fifty-eighth street and the North river,
and here the classes numbered nearly 60
men at tillc. But this building was in
an out of the way place and lacked the
facilities necessary for instructing the men
in raising large extension ladders and in
the use of the many new tools then being
added to the department.
When the new fire headquarters build
ing was being completed, u yard designed
for this purpose was built at the back Of
that building. This yard is about 100 feet
square, being we'll cemented and drained,
so that water can be used in the lessons.
Here company drills were introduced
companies being summoned unexpectedly
from different pnrts of the city, Just a
they would be called to an actual fire.
When they arrived, the engines were
started and the men put through all the
maneuvcrs of battling with the flames.
The hose was dragged up the staircase to
the top of the building, water was started
or shut off and large quantities were used
in the different movements executed in the
yard or from the windows at the rear.
The men We're thus made acquainted with
every appliance carried upon the appa-
ratus and the system was perfected in every
detail
Companies received ratings on the books
kept by the instructor according to the
proficiency they showed at the drills, and
some idea of what effect these drills had in
improving the service may be gathered
from the fact that, when they were started,
OF the so or moro companies in the depart
mont there were about 21 companies in the
first grade, 10 in the second and 40 in the
third or lowest grade. After three years
of instruction there wcre only four or five

present point of perfection, that the recruit
