Uses Of Compressed Air.

There is now being used in connec-
ton with the work of riveting the
structural iron in the new postOftice
building in Chicago a portable air
COMPRISING apparatus, built by the
Christensen Engineering company Of
Milwaukee. The motor is arranged on
the top of the compressor and con-
nected to the compressor crank shaft
by means of gear and pinion of spec
ial pattern. The compressor delivers
air into the reservoirs, from which a
nose connection it taken, and the COM
pressed air is thereby conveyed to the
point where it is to do the work.
The installation Of an equipment for
ringing chime of bells in st. Pat
rick's cathedral of New York city is
one of the latest of the many uses to
which compressed air has been put. The
following interesting list of uses is
taken from a booklet issued by the

DISARMING THE CUBANS.

The manner of disaming adopted by

sary factor in dealing with these peo-
pie.

the arnorers (Cubans) appointed by
the alcalde, is identified by field-of-

and then draws his pay. 1t is a very
simple plan, and has so far worked
very we'll.
The only opposition to the scheme
has been on the part of some of the
general officers of the Cuban army,
who, unlike Cincinnatus, have no de-
sire to return to the plough. Having
tasted the fruits of military com,
mand, it is hard for them to return to
the prosaic duties of civil life.

USE GOOD PAINT ONLY.

1t is reckless to permit buildings.
yard fences, wagons, machinery and
implements to go without paint A
well-painted wire or yard fence, of
course, looks better than one that is
implanted. But it is not the looks as
much as the preservation of the object
painted that is the purpose of paint
ing. The life of anything that we
usually paint is greatly heightened by
an application of a coat of paint.
There is usually too much false econo-
my where we paint a building. The
average man thinks he can do it the
cheapest. Never was a greater mistake
made. How can it be done the best9"
should be the inquiry Many paints
hardly last year. They crack and
blister and by holding the 'dampness in
these cracks, are worse than no paint.
Pure white lead and oil will last seven
or eight years; and if once or twice
during that time a coat of oil is ap-
piled, the surface will be frightened
and the protection increased. In the
use of good paint some one who under
stands something about painting had
better be employed. The job will be
more neatly and economically done

/ blood. The doctor has to treat the
general condition of the system, but
the patient can herself give the local
treatment to the hair. It is very
simple, and lies within the power of
all, yet very many fail to get good re-
suits because Of lack Of persistence.
Friction and perseverance are the two
words that embody the secret of keep

and to follow the process from its
first step, let me say that a shampoo is
the primary requisite Once a month

prescribe more frequent shampooing,
but observation and experience both

In paper on bicycling in it's rela-

| Cured in unstrained riders. The long
continued muscular exertion caused an
accumulation of toxins in the blood
and this together with the prolonged
acceleration of the pulse, resulted in
enrichment of the heart. The ex-
istence Of this toxaemia was proved by
the common occurrence of a mild
fatigue" fever. Acute dilatation, if
often repeated, would permanently
damage the heart. He protested
against the growing custom of per-
uniting children under IA years of age

Of bicycle heart" had been detected
by those examining recruits for the
late war. Young adults were less likely
to be injuriously affected by bicycle
riding, but those undertaking it after
the age of 40 should be cautious about
riding up hills or against strong winds,
and the gear of the bicycle should be
| moderate. These people should seek
medical advice before attempting to
ride.
Injunction of soft soap is the latest
thing in the treatment of tuberculosis.
DR.. Hoff reports in a German journal
the employment during the past II
years of inunctions of soft soap in the
treatment of more than 200 cases of
tuberculosis of bones, joints, glands
and skin. Other measures, such as
injection of iodoform, plaster ban
dages, ETC., must, however, not be
neglected. Under this treatment the
general state and the appetite improve,
and multiple tuberculous affections of
bones and joints heal completely. The
soap used must be of good quality and
from 6 to 10 drachms should be rubbed
on the body, from the neck to the
thighs, two or three times a week. The
soap may be removed after Is min
utes. The Injunction is practiced most
conveniently at night, as the patient
should remain in bed for some hours
afterward. The soap is believed to
act by it's alkalinity, neutralizing,
when absorbed, the Tactic acid of the
organism, stimulating metabolism,
and thus improving the general nutri-
ton. The quantity of urine passed is
increased.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Corn is good for night feed and for
setting hens, as it maintains bodily

Good help on the farm is the cheap

good article is always the cheapest.
Smut increases from year to year if
the land on which it makes its appear

Resolve not to let cookie, thistles,
docks or any other specially-annoying
plant go to seed on your farm this sea-

Debt makes the plow harder to hold
and causes the victuals to be less pala-
table. Keep out of debt just as far as
possible.
Boiled potatoes and boiled peas,
mashed together, and fed with sour
milk, will put flesh on hogs faster than
corn, it is said.
We grow on an average in this coun-

we grew 80 bushels we could make

Set it down as fact that hay, corn,

RECENT INVENTIONS.

In a new burglar alarm a plate is in
bracket, on which a bell is mounted,
with push-button extending in line
with the door to start the bell mechan-
ism as soon as the door is pushed part
ly open.
A handy cigar and ash holder has
been designed with cup for the
ashes which has long metal lip on
one side to rest on a table or stand, a
spring clip being formed on the under
side Of the extension by which it can
be held in place.
An elliptical spring has been pat
ented for bicycle saddles, in which the
fiat leaves are attached to each other
at the ends by steel rings, the CEN
trail parts being bent Cppositely, with
the seat clamp on the upper side and
the post clamp on the lower.
Moisture is prevented from cOndens-
ing on windows and shutting off the
light by a new English device, which
has an air supply pipe located at the
bottom of the window, with an electric
heater set in the outlet to dry the air
as it is forced from the pipe.
The bicycle saddle rost is displaced
by a new seat connection, which is
formed of a stiff curved spring extend
ing over the top of the joint to carry
the saddle.

BETRAYED BY HIS FINGERS.

A rich American residing in the
st. Georges quarter, in Paris, had been
for some time past the victim of
systematic thefts. Banknotes and
money not left under lock and key dis
appeared regularly. NJ Corvette, the
commissary of police, was informed of
the robberies. He found it would be
impossible to keep an effective watch
on the bedroom where the thefts oc-
CURED, but he adopted a stratagem
which turned out successfully A
small vial containing a mixture of
picric acid and fuschine was placed in
a metal case for holding gold and
few NapoleCns were placed on top.
In order to get out the gold the metal
case had to be held upside down, and
then, of, course, the chemical prepara-
ton would run out and stain the
thief's hands a bright and indelible
yellow. AS soon as some of the gold
was missed M. Corvette summoned all
the servants to his presence. The
Wallets fingers betrayed him. Realiz-
ing the uselessness of denying when
caught yellow-handed, he confessed
and was duly locked up.-Pittsburg
