A Very Sanitary House,

Japan has long rejoiced in earth
quake-proof houses, and now we hear
of an abode in Yokohama which pos
sesses the unique distinction of being
microbe proof. A writer in Chambers
Journal says it is supposed to have
been erected by an eminent German
bacteriologist, who hopes by it's aid to
avoid all the ills to which human flesh
is heir so far as they are due to
zymotic causes. The house is built of
glass bricks so that there is no need
for windows, and the doors, when
closed, are perfectly alright. Venti-
lation is brought about by air being
forced into the building through cot
tonwool fbers, and in case this treat
ment does not rob it of all its bacte-
ria, the air is further driven against
glycerine-coated plates of glass. Of
course when the door of this strange
domicile is opened to admit visitors,
armies of airborne microbes must
come in, too; but the sunlight which
plays around the rooms will soon kill
off these.

Why We Use the Right Hand.

Every pugilist, upon entering the
ring, takes special pains to protect the
region of the heart. All athletes un-
derstand that the most vulnerable por-
tion of the body is undoubtedly the
heart. A hard blow, we'll delivered on
the left breast, will easily kill-or at
any rate stun-even a strong man.
Hence, from an early period men have
used the right hand to fight with and
have employed the left arm chiefly to
cover the heart and to parry a blow
aimed at that specially vulnerable re-
gion. When weapons of offense and
defense superseded the fist it was the
right hand that grasped the spear and
sword, while the left held over tho
heart the shield or buckler. From this
simple origin, then, the whole vast
difference in civilized life takes it's be-
ginning. At first no doubt the supe-
riority of the right hand was only felt
in the manner of fighting. But that
alone gave it prominence and paved
the way for it's supremacy elsewhere.

Richmond behaved admirably on all
kinds of ground.
Electrical Cooking.

Electricity is making it's way into the
kitchen through the parlor and dining
room, says the Cosmopolitan. For
some time it has been used for the
heating of the 5 o'clock tea kettle,
eliminating the dangers which are al
ways incurred when an alcohol lamp
is used. A tea kettle, coffee pot or
chafing dish may be adjusted to the
nearest lamp in a house wired for elec-
trio lighting. The experienced cook
knows that there are dishes which are
never seen in their perfection ten feet
from the fire that cooked them. Peo-
pie who have passed their youth in the
country grow peevish over the way
years have deteriorated the flavor of
some simple early favorite of the ia
BILE. Electrical appliances have done
something to bring back the old condi-
lions. Griddle cakes baked on steel
grlddle, electrically heated to the ex-
act temperature, lightly brushed with
OIL, are Grip delight as they are
Tipped from griddle to plate. But while
this appliance can be used with the il

ira attachment, as that current is too
weak. This is generally put in at the
leg of the dining table. Up to this
time electricity has been used almost
exclusively by the woman who makes
fad of experimental cooking, and she
has her electric kitchen fitted up like a
small laboratory, far from the domain
of the family cuisine. The whole para
phernalia might fit into a tiled closet
almost anywhere, so hooded and ven
tilated that no odor escapes into the
surrounding rooms. In one of the
apartment houses in New York dainty
little electric kitchens have been fitted
up where the tenants have asked for
them, although the apartments were
not designed for housekeeping orig

Beautiful Marble

That beautiful transparent stone
called Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edifices, consists of the petri-
fed water of ponds in certain parts Of
the country. The petrifcation may be
traced from it's commencement to it's
termination. In one part the water is
clear, in second it appears thicker
and stagnant, in a third quite black,
and in the last stage it is white like
frost. When the operation Is COM
plete a stone thrown on it's surface
makes no impression and one may walk
over it without wetting ones shoes.
The substance thus produced is brittle
and transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper
color. So much is this marble, which
may be cut into large slabs, looked
upon as luxury that none but the
king, his sons and persons especially
privileged are permitted to take it.

A GOOD SIGN.
The Nose of Vast Importance to t

The Nose of Vast Importance to tho
Reading of Character.
Though the other features all reveal
their special characteristics, it is hope
less to try to read and balance them
Alright without first carefully examin-
ing the nose and allowing for the weak
ness or strength indicated by it. The
Roman nose is unfailingly and correct
ly associated with will power and COM
mand; the snub variety with self-as-
sertiveness, and the thin, high bridged,
hooked type with avarice. A compress
ed nostril is not to be wished for, as it
indicates suspicion and penuriousness.
When the curve is heavy the character
is usually CORRESPONDENCE dull and IN
interesting; well defined, it points out
the well-balanced mind, and perhaps
also a passionate disposition easily
reused and as easily Gained. The lit
tie, pointed, narrow nose proclaims it,
self as impudent and wanting in rever-
ence, and when it is united to- a reced-
ing chin and forehead, with eyes close
to the nose, the wider the berth given
the possessor of such unenviable quail
ties the better. So there is much very
much, in physiognomy, and ones con-
slant (not frst) impressions, though
not always invariably correct, may, on
the whole, be trusted.

ENVIRONMENT Fon DOCTORS.

They Are Anxious to Work for the
Kelley Institutes. @E
Some of the best physicians in the
United States are in the service of the
Kelley Institutes throughout the
world, and they are we'll satisfied to be-
III such well paying service. Only
doctors who have passed through the
cure themselves, that is, who have
been patients in a Kelley Institute, are
allowed to work for the Kelley Com
pany. It is the best doctors who have
been addicted to the use Of liquors and
drugs, and therefore led to go to a.
Kelley Institute to get cured. :
Their excessive duties and hard work :
led them to drink to excess or to use
drugs. After being cured they were so
enthusiastic as to desire to enter the
work. Not one doctor in one thousand,
who has been cured in a Kelley Insti-
tute can find employment with the
Kelley Company, however, because
there are only about fifty Institutes in
the various states. But almost all de-
sire to work for the Kelley Company.
The salaries are liberal and the work
is agreeable. Doctors find so much sat-
isfaction in doing this kind of work,
where they see so many thousands Of

course, some men, who possess few
brains, go back to drinking after being
cured; but such men make failures Of
everything. They are not to be count
ed. Over 80 per cent Of the Kelley
Graduates keep their cures. The 9th
er few prefer the other kind Of a life.
The Kelley Cure does not give man
brains.
A few years ago doctors laughed at
the Kelley Cure. Nowadays, Minneso-
ia doctors not only send their patients
in the Minneapolis Kelley Institute,
but large numbers Of them have taken
the cure which they prescribe for 9TH
ers.
1mitators have ruined many homes,
and those interested should beware Of
them. Explanatory literature will be
sent any who will write to the Kelley
Institute, Tenth street south and Park
avenue, Minneapolis, MINI.

SCIENTIFIC TOPICS.
CURRENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY
AND INVENTION.
Automobile Maxim Gun-No Shoestrings
or Duttons-A Thorough indicator
A Very Sanitary House-Problem in
Warship Material.
A Thought Indicator.

The nearest approach yet made to
an apparatus for recording thought
and feeling, or states of mind, is the
pletysmograph Of Haliion and Cour-
tier, the French psychologists. We all
know that some emotions cause the
heart to beat faster, the limbs to trem-
BILE, and the face to flush, or pale.
Quickening Of the circulation also in
creases the bulk of the members. Few
Of us are aware, however, that states
of mind, emotions which do not mani
fest themselves by any outward
changes, have an influence on the CIR
culation, and consequently on the size
OF the members. This has been illus
trated by the pletysmograph in the
hands Of M. Binet and others. Thus,
fear of going to the dentist made the
pulse of child to sink away; fear of
having his flesh pricked made the pulse
OF grown man do the same thing, al
though he laughed at himself for it;
fear of having to administer reproof
to student diminished the pulse of
professor, who was outwardly quite
calm. The joy of receiving presents
nad contrary effect on the pulse of a
child, making it swell rather than
shrink. Music of any kind, but espe-
c1ally gay music, quickens the circu-
lat1on. The stronger the emotion felt,
the stronger is its effect upon the
pulse.
Another application of the ball-bear-
ing principle is to be noted, viz, to
the ordinary carpenters brace and bit,
an arrangement under the head, or
rest, which provides for the easy OPP
Grafton Of the brace, no matter what
weight may be brought on the head.
Further, and more essential, the ball
bearing has found it's place in the
chuck, and in some forms Of braces
it has been there placed in order that
the friction due to the turning of the
chuck both in grasping and loosening
may be eliminated, this feature being
considered a most valuable one, and
such as must commend itself to any
user Of the ordinary brace who has at
tempted to grip firmly a round rod,
such as a twist drill. BY the intro
ductlon of so simple an adjunct as this
Dall-bearing, the advantage is gained
OF full power applied directly to the
gripping jaws, even as by the use Of
the ball-bearing in the head the full
power of the arm is utilized in turning
the crank in either direction, friction
being done away with.

Recent Inventions.

Hanged together, with one of the slides
sliding vertically to form the door and
having interior horizontal ribs to sup
port the shelves, the whole being
fastened to the casing outside the win
dow.
To allow a trunk to stand close to
the wall a new lid is in two sections,
hinged at the ends of the trunk to
open and shut in a plane parallel with
it's face, with tills hinged at the rear
of each lid portion to swing toward
the rear and rest on the back Of the
trunk when the lid is open.
Stalks and weeds are easily pulled
from the ground by a Californian's
device, consisting of a pair of levers
pivoted together and mounted on a
wheeled truck. with handles on the
long ends of the levers to grip the
short ends of the weed, when the truck
is tilted to lift the weed from the
ground.
Smokers will appreciate new cigar
holder, which has a hollow central
needle to enter the tip of the cigar,
with three fingers arranged around the
outside of the holder and pivoted in
such position that the screwing in of
