THE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE CONSUMER.
A Boston physician has invented a
vice by which all kitchen garbage may
be utilized as fuel. The material is
put into a dryer through which the
hot air from the range circulates un-
til oil the moisture is evaporated.
The receptacle then contains a guam
tity of refuse that is highly inAamma-
bic and will make excellent kindling,
or may be thrown upon the fire and
speedily burns out. This, of coarse,
Is practicable only where people burn
coal fires. In wood-stoves the heat is
not of the right quality unless the fire
is kept up to a raging pitch. Where
gas or electricity or oil is used for
heating, this way of disposing of gar
bage is out of the question. There
are, however, enough coal.stoves used
in our large cities to make this a mat
ter of very great importance. Itwould
pay the Board of Health to furnish
these garbage dryers to every family,
and pass the most stringent laws COM
pelling their use and proper care. The
most useful plan would be to use the
garbage as a fertilizer for worn out
lands, but this involves great cost and
great danger. DecayIng animal and
vegetable matter must be carted
through the streets, drippings fall upon
the pavements, are dried and whirled
by the wind into the nostrils of pedes-
TRANS. Where it is possible, garbage
should be consumed, and, by the way,
a great deal of this is done when moth
ing is said about it. Many families put
into the kitchen range everything of a
waste character, and find great econo-
my in fuel in consequence, New York

The free silver democrats
of the Tenth Congressional

bending every effort to defeat
your Uncle Josiah Patterson

opened headquarters in Mem

committees in each county of

ing sent out, calling upon
the pale metal worshippers
to organize. The letters
promise to send free silver
speakers to any community,
where their services are de-
sired to bolster up the fifty

Upton counties have already
been invaded by these" saviors
