A New Way to Give Fresh Air to Bed-Fast

A New Way to Give Fresh Air to Bed-Fast
Patient.
CAS- all the world knows, there is
no more perfect means of ventilation
than an open fire." writes Mrs. Bur-
ton Kingsland, telling how to nurse
the sick. 1T is continuous and at
tended with no danger of draught. A
more equable temperature is obtained
with wood than with coal, and the
thermometer should be frequently
consulted in sick room. AS fresh
air is the best tonic, it is said that a
window may be opened at the top on
sunny day, no matter how i'll the
patient may be, if in the opening a
wooden frame covered with flannel Is
fitted. The air strained through the
wooden material is deprived of all
power to harm. An umbrella covered
with a shawl makes a good screen
when the windows are open, the pa
tient being sheltered under it as If in
tent. A folding clothes-horse may
also be utilized as 4 screen frame. AS
a person lying on his back is deprived
of the protection of his eyel.ds from
the light, the blinds and curtains
should be adjusted with regard to that
fact. A room a little shaded is more
restful to a PERSON in illness, but if
patch of sunshine can be let in some
where in the room it makes a CHEEKY
spot for him to turn to if so minded.

able capacity for high speed. One of
them could pull at the rate of 60 miles
an hour on a piece of level straight
track no less than 33 Pullman cars
weighing 40 tons each. Such a train
would be more than two-ffths ola mile
long.
The six-coupled driving wheels of
these engines are each six feet in diam
eter. and the working steam pressure is
200 pounds to the square inch. The cyl
inders are of the ordinary simple type,
each 81 inches in diameter with piston
stroke of 20 inches. This gives a trac-
tive force, or draw-bar pull, of 27,46o
pounds, sufficient to haul a train load
of 4,279 tons, equal to about IS of the
largest loaded freight cars, at slow
speed on a level track. No locomotives
now running have so large combined
cylinder area and steam pressure as
these new Goliaths.
You may make the moving parts of
locomotive as powerful as you please,
but unless there is fire box and boiler
big enough to match the running gear
your engine will soon be short of steam,
with probable showdown between sta
tons. This catastrophe is not likely to
happen to one of these engines-as long
as the coal holds out-for the fire box
is ten feet long and3h feet wide, with a
total heating surface of 1914 square feet,
while the boiler is five feet two inches in
diameter, with tubes which give heat
ing surface of no less than 2,29s square
feet Soft coal, of which about eight
tons will be put on the tender at start
ing, will be the fuel.
An engine may also have great power
and yet be unable to utilize it, owing to
insufficient weight on the driving
wheels. The total weight of one of
these locomotives will be rs tons, of
which So tons will rest on the six driv-
ing wheels, the remaining II tons being
carried by the four-wheel truck in
front. Reckoning the bite or grip on the
rail at one-fourth the weight on the
drivers we get an adhesion of 14h tons,
or 10000 pounds, which is 1,540 pounds
more than the tractive force of the en-
CINE, thus leaving a good margin for wet
weather and slippery rails. The weigh:
of 10 1-3 tons on each pair of drivers is
also unparalleled in the history of rail-
roads. To carry this weight with safety
and without heating, the journals of
each axel are So inches in diameter by
IL inches in length. Fancy locomotive
journals two feet and ~ inches in cir
conference!
The tenders attached to these en-
gines will be worthy of them. Each will
carry 4,50o gallons of water, and when
loaded to its full capacity will weigh
41h tons. This will bring up the total
weight Of engine and tender to 117k
tons.
The object of having such powerful
engines is not so much to make speed
on the level as to maintain it on the
grades. The maximum grades, of which
there are several from two to four miles
long, vary from 70 to So feet to the mile
(roughly speaking from ~ to ~ per
cent? and the curves on these from
three to six degrees.

Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make itsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it.
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doub I.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.

THE GOLDEN WIDOW.
MRS. GEORGE HEARST LEADS a
LUXURIOUS, YET USEFUL LIFE.

With the Enormous Wealth Left Her by
the Famous Californian Argonaut She
Performs Deeds of Unostentati Charity
Her Magnificent Washington Home.
1t is sometimes possible for a wo-
man to own an estate of one Million
and a half and still retain a great SIM
plicity of manner. 1t surely is tho
case with Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, of
Washington, wife of the late Senator
from California. Her home in tie
capital city may be called ono of the
most magnificent establishments in
the country. The same tinge OF
quaintness surrounding Mrs. Hearst s
personality, notwithstanding her style
in dress and the idea that she is
thorough woman of the world, is found
in the decoration of her Washington
home. 1t is Louis XIV. everywhere.
This is one of the rooms of tho
famous suite wherein was held the
Louis XIV. ball, which has lee me
one of the historical social func ions.
All the rooms were garlanded with
American beauties, caught by love S
knots of broad white satin ribbons
1t was scene of loveliness never since
duplicated in Washington.
There are no daughters to enjoy all
the luxuries of the Hearst mansion, but
two charming young nieces make the
home constantly with her. Her only
son is w. R. Hearst, owner of the New
York Journal. During the winter
only is the Hearst mansion in Use.
During the summer the owner enjoys
all tEa beauties of her ranch the Ha-
cierda del Pazo de Verona, situated
about Forty miles from San Francisco.
Il IS said in Washington that Mrs.
Hearst does more for charity than
any ether woman, and so quietly that
it is difficult to find just where her
interests lie. Two kindergartens for
homeless children form one of her
special fads Then there is home
where twenty-five boys are cared for
end educated. In the summer
these children go on a farm in Vir-
ginia leased by Mrs. Hearst and learn
all sorts of useful things.

Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue
contained in bottle of Salvation Oil,

Mrs. A. Fielder, 1854 Palethorp St.,
Philadelphia, Pa, confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to be an ex-
cellent remedy for rheumatism, stiff
joints, bruises, etc, and thinks it
should always be kept in the house."

in favor of substitute. Insist on get

Destltution In Loulsinna

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Congressman
9. j. Boatner, OF Louisiana, who is in
the city, said that about 100, 900 people
are destitute in the northwestern part
ol this state, because Of tho failure OF
their crops. He had received dis.
patches from a New Orleans editor,
stating that the. people needed seod
with which 10 make new crops, and
asking him to make an appropriation
therefor. II shall not ask congre IS to
mako appropriations for seed" the
congressman said, sbecause feel sure
that President Cleveland would veto
any bill Of that nature. He vetoed a
bill Of q similar kind for the sufferers
in Kansas some years ago" Ue OK
planned the reasons for the fearful
condition, which were az follows:
Last year wc had drought for four
months. 1t not only killed tho crop,
but the streams dried up, cattle died
or those that lived bocame very poor.
The drought was confined tc the hilly
or sandy soil and not to the rich allu-
vial lands of the Mississippi, Red and
Oachita rivers. Tho alluyial lands,
however, can stand longer drought
than tho other lands. There are
about, 100000 affected by this failure
to mako crops and we are doing all we
can to help taem. The state Of course
will do all it can to prevent them from
suffering; but they arc in actual want.
