How Pintsch Gas is Made.

The material used for the manu-
facture OF Plntsch gas is crude or
refined petroleum. In the plant
constructed for the supply OF Balti-
more & Ohio cars in Pittsburg,
(Which is model plant), the fur
mace room contains four furnaces,
each having an upper and a lower
retort, in which the oil is thorough
ly converted into rich, permanent
gas of the highest Illuminating
power known in the art. From the
retorts the gas passes through in
geniously arranged apparatus in the
purifying room, where it is thor
oughly freed from all impurities ;
but for the purpose of car illumina.
ton it must be compressed in order
to carry sufficient supply in the
small space available on passenger
cars. The gas is then conducted
from the purifying to the compress
ing room, in which are located two
powerful compressors of special de
sign, which compress the gas into
storage cylinders used for this pur-
pose. From these holders the gas
is piped to the Baltimore and Ohio
depot where it is supplied to the
cars as required.

No one denies that it is wise to mako a
provision for old age, but we are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision it is best
TO lay i'll. Certainly we shall want q little
money, for destitute old man is indeed
sorry sight Yes, save money, by all
means. But an old man needs Just that
particular kind of strength which young
men are most apt to waste. Many fool
ish young fellow will throw away on a
holiday certain amount of nervous en-
ergy which he will never feel the want of
till he is 70, and then, how much he will
want it It's curious, but true, that bot
tie of champagne at 20 may intensity the
rheumatism of threescore. tt is a fact that
everlasting the eyes at IA may necessitate
the aid of spectacles at 40, instead of So
We advise our young readers to be saving
of health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good with regard to health as to
money-"Waste not, want not"
1t is the greatest mistake to suppose
that any violation of the laws of health
can escape its penalty. Nature forgives
no sin, no error. She lets off the offender
for 80 years sometimes, but she catches
him at last and infiicts the punishment
just when, just where, just how he feels it
most. Save up for old age, but save know
ledge, save the recollection of good deeds
and innocent pleasures; save pure
thoughts, save friends, save love; save rich
stores of that kind of wealth which time
cannot diminish nor death take away

Abolish the Binders.

The best handlers of horses are
condemning binders.
The purpose of binders is to shut
off from view any object from be-
hind the horse that might cause the
horse to become alarmed and try to
run away. As to this, binders have
proven more disastrous than benef-
cial. If a horse passes some object
that is not fully understood by him,
and causes fright, the shutting off
from view of this scarecrow by
binders only increases the fear.
Any horse of ordinary good sense
can soon be taught not to scare at
flags, cars, covered wagons. umbrel-
las, etc., by letting him see them and
understand them.
Give the horse the full power of
all his senses let him see, hear and
smell, if need be. to satisfy his fears.

The two most critical times in q
woman's life are the times which
make the girl woman, and the wo-
man a mother. At these times DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is of
incalculable value. 1t strengthens
and invigorates the organs distinct
ly feminine, promotes regularity of
the functions, allays irritation and
Inflammation, checks unnatural, ex-
hausting drains, and puts the whole
delicate organism into perfect con.
dition. Almost all the ills OF
womankind are traceable to some
form of what is known as 'sfemale
complaint" There are not three
