Newly Invented Strait-Jaeket That
 VIII Save Much Suffering.
 From Washington Times: J. NJ.
 Hooper of Baltimore applied for patent
 papers on an invention that promises to be of incalculable assistance to hos
 pitfalls and public and private asyIums where insane, deIirious or unruIy
 patients are handled The invention lis known as rest sheet and strait jacket and is a combination of both, holding the patient securely and com fortably without even the aid of an at tendant. All the hospitals have felt the need of just such an invention as
 has been perfected by MT. Hooper, and hospital attendants in general will hall
 with delight tie advent of the sheet and jacket that will save both many struggles with a wild sufferer and in
 many cases personal injury Of some sort to either the patient or the nurse. The patent is especially to protect in- sane or delirieus patients, and can be adjusted to any bed whatsoever. It can be affixed as readily to a cot or q sur- gical table, and the patient is held in such way as not alone to avoid per- sonal injury, but also to prevent the exposure of any part of the body. This will be especially advantageous in
 many cases where exposure to the air is especially deleterious to the suffer-
 CTS chances of recovery. The pa-
 tient may be left entirely alone without fear, for the strongest man is utterly helpless when under the sheet. The
 sheet is made of heavy cotton duck, which can be both laundered and ster- llized, thus fulfilling all hygienie con- ditions. The sheet fits close around
 the neck of the prostrate patient, be- ing edged with chamois to avoid chaf- ing. The arms come through two openings in the sheet and are held down in a chamois lined duck trap ar- rangement that gives ease yet security. The feet are strapped in like manner,
 being covered with an extra flap of cotton duck to keep Off flies and air. This extra flap gives certain freedom to the feet that would be impossible if placed under the main sheet which is drawn down tight by the fastenings.
 These are made in such way as to
 be impossible to tear out The head can be turned and the body to some ex- tent, but the most frantic struggles
 would be productive of no harm on the part of the patient. Two extra straps can be run across the body if deemed necessary. The device has been in use in the city hospital in Baltimore for the past six months, and is given the highest endorsement.

The Coming United States Census.

L is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade. Immi- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of the next decade was enormous, and yet the Porter census for 1890 showed an in- crease in the ten years of only PAS per cent. H. T. Newcomb, statistieian Of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of fl ,480 GOO, which would be an increase over 1890 of less than 19 per cent.

Process of Getting the Fruit In Shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in a bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of muscatels, arranging them upon the trays to shrink and shrive1 under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicacy we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, basking array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter- ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filled, for the workers are paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the Ii. ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this stage in the curing that the grape is most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun-Warmed balls are drops of honey-doub1e distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fe"ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to a sweating house, a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly. the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing house to await the grading and packing g.-Land of Sunshine.

 Relied on His Wits.

h a recent address on Brown-Se- guard, the French chemist Berthelot explained why that eminent plysiolo- gist, in spite of his brilliant mind, was looked on with suspicion by scientific workers. He was careless in his ex- periments and relied too much on his wits. Whenever an idea came into his head, he wrote it on piece of paper, which he threw into box, and gen. erally left it there, making no further use of it.

 Served Her Right.

The Kansas City Star tells of a Trip let (Kan.) girl who sent a dollar to smart New Yorker for a "sure cure for freckles.' This is the recipe which she received: Remove the freekles carefully with a pocket knife, soak them overnight in salt water; then hang up in the smokehouse in a good. strong smoke made of sawdust and slippery elm bark for a week. Freekles thus treated never fail to be thorough ly cured"

This is to protect the villagers from the attacks of the dreaded head hunters, always looking out for victims. Other villages in this queer land are perched up in trees for the same reason.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Tt was about the witching hour,'' said the suburbanite. q had left the station some distance behind me, and was on my way up the road toward home. I had got comfortably cool by that time, and tae charming influence of the star lit night possessed me and made me feel at peace with all the world Nor did the fact that I and my new suit had made hit with the friends I had been visiting detract from the fullness of my self-satisfaetion. All went well until I came to a street crossing my road. At the corner was a street lamp, which from some cause was not lit; and from this lamp fluttered what seemed to be a handkerchief.

It Is in the Tower of the Philadelphia
 City Hall.
 4 novel diversion is about to be in- stituted at the Philadelphia city hall. Within a few weeks this noble pile, already distinguished as being the highest municipal building in the world, will contain, according to the Press, the highest continuous stair way ill the world, and tourists who have hitherto boasted of their mus eular ability in climbing the stone steps of the Bunker Hill monument at Charlestown, the Washington monu- ment or the monument to Gen. Brock, near Queenstown, Ont, will tell their friends Of their feat in ascending the 598 steps which lead from the seventh floor of the city hall of Philadelphia to the landing about the feet of Will liam Penn. Tower climbing is one of the fads of tourists. Hitherto the Bunker Hill monument, with it's 400- odd stone steps, and the Washington monument, which has few more, have represented the acme of oppor- tunity for tests of physical endurance Ascent or descent Of these steps has been boasted of, and though both so eramp the muscles of the leg that the climber for an hour afterward is hard ly able to walk upright. the distinction has the requited pain. The building commission, adds the Philadelphia Press, is pushing forward the work on the tower stairway, and within two months it is expected that it will be in readiness for climbers. It will extend from the seventh to the sixteenth floor and will contain just 598 steps of iron arranged about a square, central shaft, in which will run an electric elevator To reach the tower stairway the climber may mount the 245 granite stairs in the hanging stairways at the northern end of the building, thus making total climb of 743 steps.
