DWELLING BUILT OF TUBES,
Remarkable Structure Put Up by q Gel
man Inventor-Its ADVANTAGES.

Remarkable Structure Put Up by q Ger
man Inventor-Its Advantages.
A German inventor has built a house
he says, a constant temperature and in
cidentally strength, durability, COM
fort and beauty, says the New York
Sun. He first put up a frame of water
tubing, allowing continuous circula
ton to a stream of water. Around this
tume he put up his house in the Or
1inary way. The popularity is that all
floors and ceilings are crossed and re-
crossed by the water pipes. The water,
having passed through horizontal tubes
under the floor and ceilings, passes
through the vertical tubes until all
have 1een rome through. In summer,
fresh cool water ~circulates under
pressure through the network of tubes,
cocls off the walls, and, after having
run its course flows considerably
warmer than when it entered. In its
course it has absorbed much heat,
which it carries away. During the
long and severe winter the water en-
tering through the basement is first
heated to nearly one hundred degrees
End then forced through the tubing.
OF course much of the neat Is left al.
over the house, and at the outlet tho
temperature of the water is about
forty degrees. The speed Of the cir
culation of water can be regulated 80
es to allow the fixing of q certain tenn
perature, which Is equal throughout IL
bnildin@.

A NOBLE MISSION.

In declaring his intention to de-
vote the rest of his life to the re-
moval of sectional prejudice, Gen
eral Gordon shows a noble ambi-
ton.
No Southern man is so popular
in the North as he and he is trusted
and beloved by his own people.
He can do great good in the work
to which he has devoted himself
probably more good than he could
have accomplished by continuing
his brilliant political career.
The Kansas City Star says:
''In the promise that General
John B. Gordon will devote his
future to the work of uniting the
different sections of the country In
closer and more cordial relations
there is some compensation for
the loss which his retirement from
official life will entail. General
Gordon, brave and formid BILE in
war, has proved himself able and
magnanimous in peace, and enjoy
ing in a marked degree the conf
dence of the people of one section
and the respect of those of the
other, is admirably equipped for
the patriotic mission he has set
himself to perform. There is
need for just such work at this
time, while %agitators are endeav-
oring to torment strife and excite
sectional passions. General Cor
don has already with his admira-
BILE lectures, ACCOMPLISHED much
good, and when he casts off his
official robes and gives his entire
time and talents to the self-imposed
employment his good influence
will be broadened and increased"
General Gordon is in excellent
health and there is every eason to
b Sieve that for many years to
come he will be found proclaiming
the gospel of a broad patriotism
and good will among the people
of every section of our country.

TREATMENT OF suNsTRokE
New Electrical Device by Which Patients
Are Easily Handled.

New Electrical Device by Which Patients
Are Easily Handled.
OF late treatment liz sunstroke cases
has altered materially. The old treat
nent included warm drinks and hot
~Appli3tions to the body, with a view of
drawing the heat from h head, as well
as iced applications to the head. Now,
says the New York Sun, the patient is
Immersed in very cold water and kept
80 until the abnormal temperature de-
creases. Some remarkable cures have
been effected by this method of treat
ment The new apparatus is designed
for the transfer of the patient to the
bath. 1t is worked entirely by cleo
sricity. A sort of hammock suspended,
not from the ends, but from the sides
between iron bars, is the receptacle for
the sufferer. The end Of this hammock
at which the head lies is higher than
the other end. The bars are suspended
by chains from wheeltrucks overhead,
running on tracks, and both the motion
backward and forward of the trucks
and the raising or depressing of the
hammock by means of the chain are
controlled by the electric apparatus.
On the entrance of the patient the
hammock is lowered and he is gently
slid from the stretcher into it. A turn
Of the motor Wheel lifts him, and
another turn sends him moving along
until he is directly Over a tub contain
ing water iced to the desired tenpera-
ture. Then the machinery lowers him
slowly into the tub until only his face
remains above the water. Ice is packed
around his head, and he is left there
until his temperature is lowered to a
point where it is deemed safe to take
him out, Then the machinery gently
lifts him again and transfers him to q
pallet at the side of the room. If a Sec
end iced bath is not necessary the pa
tent is then removed to one of the ad-
Joining wards. This method of hand
ling is not only attended with less jar
ring to the patient taan any other, but
1t also saves the doctors and nurses
much exhaustive work, particularly in
the case of heavy patients. The appa-
retus was designed by DIR. Lewis A.
stimsor, attending surgeon to the
House of Relief.

BUSINESS IN TEE SOUTH.
While the commercial report

While the commercial reports
for the present week are generally
unfavorable, it will be observed
that very few Of the failures re.
ported occurred in the South.
There is no doubt that the con
dition of the South is better thar
that of any other section of the
country. The farmers are less in
debt than they have been since the
war; are in better condition and
are better stocked. As a rule
they have come to raise their own
supplies and are growing more
independent year by year The
Manufacturers Record of this
week takes the following hopeful
view of the business outlook in
this section:
according to the report from
mercantile firms who transact q
large business in the South, the
outlook in that section for in
increased trake this fall is very
bright. A number of the princi-
pal jobbing firms in Baltimore, in
Guiding Armstrong, Gator & Co.,
the largest millinery dealers
in this country; John E.
Hurst & Co.. n of the largest
dry goods houses of Baltimore, as
we'll as a number of representa-
tive firms in boots and shoes,
clothing, hats, hardware and rub
Der goods, are unanimous in say
ing that their Southern advices in
dictate an increased trade this fall
over 1895. They expect a better
business, and believe that the
planters will receive higher prices
than last year for their cotton,
placing them in a better position
financially. 1t is question if as
many favorable reports could be
obtained in any other city in this
country, unless that city depends
upon s outhern trade. 1t is the
general impression that owing to
the political agitation and other
causes, trade prospects in New
England and the West are very
poor. This is simply another in
dication of the stability of business
in the South, which has been noted
in the Manufacturers Record in
reports of increased railroad earn
ings, bank clearings and other
features
Hundreds of families from the
northwest are now making their
way South, driving their teams
through the country. The pres
ent year will witness a substantial
increase of the South population
by the accession of thrifty farm
+ from less favored regions. The
South is all right and North Caro-
lima is the best part of it.

THAT WONDER.
Full REMEDY

RANDLEMAN, N. c.,
Feb. 6, 1896.
Rev. A. L. Mendenhall says:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When I decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
It had bafhed the skill of
many eminent physicians,
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. I could
wear no other than low
quartered shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain. This
was in 1884 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., and soon
after taking the Remedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
we'll ever since.
Very respectfully,
REV. A. Z, MENDENHALL.
