The hot air motor patented by M. Helm
rici works without steam, and, there
fore, many of the shortcomings of
small steam engines are entirely OBJ
waited. The hot air motor has re-
mar1ably regular and soft motion,
quite contrary to the steam or naphtha
engines, where each stroke Of the pis-
ton occasions shock. The main en-
ployment to which the Heinrich hot air
motor is put is the work of pump in
the center of the flower stand, as shown
in our illustration. The benefit of hav-
ing continuous Jet of water in room
during the summer is obvious.

A large, new bell is just to be put UP

it is resting outside the dooor. The
students got possession of the huge bell
and rang it to their hearts content
Then it occurred to them that they
ought to decorate the statue of John

painted since that memorial day in 81

To Save the TabIecIoth.

Nothing contributes so much to the
soiling of the dinner cloth as the glass
of water which during a meal is being
continually picked up and set down
again in a new place. Some thrifty
housewives have adopted the custom of
setting the glasses on tiny plates such
as are so generally used for bread and
butter nowadays 1t has been found
that a tablecIoth keeps clean much
longer by the use of these plates, and
the idea is especially popular among
boarding house keepers.

+ Boston, June 12.-The United States
cruiser New York, the flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron, with Rear
Admiral Montgomery Sincard on

destination ascertained. 1t is general.

~ the arhorism that "a public Office
4 Ia public trust" but New Jersey
county collector has proved the sin
cerity Of his convictions in very un-
usual way. Four years ago the New
Jersey legislature passed a law au-
thorizing collectors to retain two per
cent Of their collections as compensa-
ton. Under this law the official in
question is entitled to nearly forty
thousand dollars year. But he has
always refused to take more than his
yearly salary Of forty-fye hundred
& dollars, on the ground that the law
permitted a robbery from the people
from which he was not willing to de-
rive any personal benefit. He will not
die q rich man, but he has what is
more to be desired than wealth, the re-
5spect and confidence Of his neighbors.
His example Of oAiclal unselhshness
and integrity is worth more in its up
aifting moral effect upon the commu-
nifty, than II as q mere money-getting
citizen he had given a lifetime to the
successful accumulation Of moderate
or even immoderate wealth.
