Heated Air.
From the Philadelphia Ledger


It Is proved that when air Is heated it
rises, and also that 1t expands, and perhaps
some Of us are now wondering why 1t
should rise. This Is a rather hard subject,
but perhaps we may be able to explain It.
In the first place. as we explained several
weeks ago, air presses on the earth every
where with a certain pressure. This is be-
cause Of the attraction of gravity, which
pulls upon or gives weight to every form
Of matter, whether solid, liquid or gaseous.
Now, air is matter in gaseous form. 1t
has very little weight, but still it has some.
Close to the surface OF the earth air presses
heaviest because it is pressed down, not
only by Its own weight. but also by the
weight of the air above. and the air presses
in all directions as we'll as downward, be-
cause 1t Is 80 easily moved and can be
pushed OF made to flow from one point to
another, very much like water. As we go
up from the surface of the earth the air
presses less and less. because there is less
air above it. If you think this out you will
see that any body surrounded by air, like a
box held in the hand, for instance. will be
more pressed upon ON its 1oWer side or bot
tom than on it's top. =

were really discovered CENTURIES ago, when
incense and myrrh were used to cure Ills
as well as for worship
Sweet-smelling baIfhs were carried to the
sick, and the doctors, OF. that day healed the
body and the spirit Through heavy odors.
1t Is well known that the fakirs Of India
and the medicine men Of the Wild tribes of
all countries work by means Of perfumes
and herbs. Every woman knows that a
bottle OF ammonia held 10 the nostrils will
help headache. Our grandmothers used
the camphor bottlei and this restorative
Is still used as theshome medicine. The
vinaigrette and thet little smelling bottle
Of ali kinds are filled With salts or pow
der Of sweet-smelling oaur based upon me-
dicinal properties, and there Is no doubt
that few whiffs will help headache and
sometimes completely ctIfe It. And now
roses are advocated for many Of the aches
and pains Of life which frequently arise
from overweight or disordered nerves. 1t
hag been discovered that the rose will cure
a headache. Its perfume acts as medl-
larry If deep red-soothes the senses through
the eyes, and its cleanliness and medicinal
properties generally act upon the system
not only as a curative, but as tonic
The sweeter the rose is, the better, for the
sweetness Of this flower is Of such peculiar
delicacy that 1t neither clogs upon the nos
trils nor pals upon the senses. Other how-
ers with heavy scent make one languid.
But the rose Is lnV1S0rat1nSS anu IL ID
known now that the concentrated rose
that Is, the natural smell as obtained from
roses in great Quantities-will certainly act
upon the person as though he or she had
been famed by q breeze. The rose curist
asserts that II the scent Is inhaled directly
from the very heart Of the flower it is more
beneficial to the patient than though 1t were
inhaled at long distance through an essence
or an extract. There are different ways OF
administering the rose medicine. The pa
tient can make a pillow Of roses: on this
she should lay her head, taking care that
half a dozen Of the blooms are SO arranged
that they point toward the face. In this
attitude her nose and mouth are buried In
their sweetness. The idea is to go to sleep
on q bed of roses; when you wake up your
headache will be cured.
The best rose is the garden rose, as 1t re-
tains its red rose scent without having lost
anything by being: cultivated. One OF the
rose treatments Is through the eyes, for
the nervous man or woman-people who
cannot endure the sight of blood. who can
not see suffering, whom an injured animal
will unnerve for day. Uncleanliness and
disorder that strike upon the sight act upon
them as though they had had fit Of sick
ness. An unhappy combination OF colors
will frequently affect the nerves and pro-
duce headache. When people are as SEN
'sitive as this they can be cured by the color
treatment, and this color cure Is now &C
lively in operation in many places.
When undergoing a severe nervous strain
1t Is good plan to take a rose and hold 1t
to the nostrils; breathe deeply Of the scent.

To this Mr. Marble merely shrugged his
shoulders and went on. He fancied Flint
no more than did the relics OF the original
garrison. A little later Flint personally
gave an order to the sergeant of the guard
and then came commotion.
First there were stif1ed sounds Of scuff1e

shrill. wrathful screams: then a woman's
voice unified In wild upbraidings in an

all that wintry morning, and there, disdain-
full Of bunk or chair, enveloped in her
blanket, she squatted, disconsolate, greeting
all questioners with defiant and fearless
shruggings and inarticulate protest. Not
syllable Of explanation not shred Of news
could their best endeavors wiring from her.
Yet her glittering eyes were surely in search
OF some one, for she looked up eagerly
every time the door was opened, and Flint
was just beginning to think he would have
to send for Mrs. Hay when the couriers
came with their stirring news and he had
to drop other affairs in order to forward
this important matter to headquarters.
Once again, 1t seems. Trooper Kennedy
had been intrusted with distinguished duty,
for 1t was he who came trotting foremost

led his horse up the steep to the quarters
nearest the Flagstaff. This time there was
no big-hearted post commander to bid the
Irishman refresh himself ad libitum. Flint
was alone at his Office at the moment, and
knew not this strange trooper, and looked
askance at his heterodox garb and war
worn guise. Such 1aHity, said he to himself,
was not permitted where he had hitherto
served. which was never on Indian cam
paign. Kennedy, having delivered his dis
patches, stood mutely expectant Of question
and struggling with an lrishman's enthusf-
asttc eagerness to tell the, details Of heady
fight. But Flint had but one method of
getting at facts-the ofheial reports-and
Kennedy stood unneticeda until. impatient

very small loss they had been able to cap
ture many Of the families and to scatter
the warriors among the hills. In brief,
while Henry with the main body, had fol-
lowed the trail of the fighting band, Webb
had been detached and, with two squad
rons. had ridden hard after a Shoshone

the range and enabled them to pounce on

recaptured, were Mr.. Hay and Crapaud.
Among those who had been spirited away
was Nanette Flower. This seemed strange
and unaccountable.
And yet Blake had found time to write
to his winsome wife, to send her an i'm
portant missive and most important bit Of
news. 1t was with these she came run
ming in to Mrs. Ray before the latter had
time to half read the long letter received
from her soldier husband, and we take
the facts in the order Of their revelation.

on an inner page, heavily marked, APP

city journal had been picked up in an
Ogalalla camp. The item read as follows:

in 1866 captured golden prize in Schelling
bay that consisted of bullion and gold dust
from Cape Coast Castle, in Guinea. This
rich prize was coined into gold pieces
stamped with an elephant. and to comment
crate the capture these pieces Of money
were called guineas.
Sir Robert seems to have had plenty of
these golden coins. At Yarmouth, Isle of

house, shrimpers and lobster catchers still
look out for the stray gold pieces he was
wont to scatter or that may have been lost

circulation. The simple, respectable sover-

from the time Of Henry VII. The guinea
displaced 1t, but sovereigns were recoined
in the early part Of the last century, and
soon after that they completely ousted the
guinea piece.

The Russian Jew.
From Outlook.

From Outlook.
Great crimes are seldom laid to the charge
Of the Russian Jew, although too often he
lends himself to rather shady business
transactions. Taking him as a whole, how
ever, he is honest, Industrious and frugal
and has, above all, the making Of man in
him. 1t Is true that he works for small
wages, but he soon wants more; he lives
on little money, but he soon spends more.
He does not have as many faults as his
enemies assert, and he has as many virtues
as one might reasonably expect. He Is to
be feared, not for his weakness but for his
strength; not for his faults, but for his
virtues; he is here to stay. he does not care
to return to Russia, and he can't If he
wishes to. The Russian government sees to
that.

HIDING ONES vALUABLEs.
A Headquarters Detective Recommends
Putting Them Under the Pillow.


while there has been considerable house
entering by burglars in this city this win
ter" said a headquarters detective this
morning to a Star reporter. most of the
offenses were committed by youthful ANA
teurs whom we ran down in time. Most
of the robberies committed were small, and
there has been a very gratifying lessening
Of crimes which are committed by profess
sional crooks.
Zone reason for this Is the rule of the
Washington police to run out Of town sus-
picious characters and to keep an eye con-
stantly open for the real things who may
be known. But there Is one point wish to
impress upon our residents as to the dispo-
sition Of their jewels and valuables, and
it Is this: Persons who have tewelry OF any
kind upon removing it from the per-
son at night are prone to throw 1t down
upon the bureau or upon some similar con-
spicuous place in the room. They feel. OF
course, that the valuables are safe from
theft as regards the inmates Of the house.
and as rule such Is the case. but it does
not follow that they are safe from the
burglars hands.
Money and jewels should never be thus
carelessy laid aside, even for the night.
Some receptacle should be had for them,
and neither the jewels nor the receptacle
should be placed in bureau drawer. as is
SO often the case. The thief banks upon
this well-known habit, and knows exactly
where to look for the goods he Is hunting.
"He also knows that men as rule carry
their rolls Of money in their trousers pock-
cts, and these are usually hung close to the
bed. So many hauls of money and jewelry
are made, the thief escaping undetected,
that they ought to make people more care
full, but it would appear that such is not
the case.
"It is a very easy matter to drop lady s
jewels in small bag. and to place this I'M
der the pillow at night, as 1t is easy for the
man of the house to place his wad in the
same position. Again, in the event of &
fire, scattered jewelry cannot be gathered
up from the dressing table where 1t has
been thrown the night before haphaZard.
thief can clean out room of all that is
worth stealing while it's occupants sleap,
but he cannot reach under a pillow or q
mattress without Weakening the sleepers-in
fact, he will not try.
Some people advocate the small safe or
an iron box as a receptacle, but they have
never found favor with me, because the
visible presence Of safe Is a temptation
to crack it, an easy and quiet job, as a rule,
as regards house safes, while a box can
be picked up and readily carried off under
the thefs arm. There is no place absolute
ly secure from a good cracksman except a
safe deposit vault, and these we don't have
about the house like refrigerators.
1.-THE pillow or mattress protection Is the
best. In the case Of a fire the mind would
instantly revert to the hidden valuables,
and they could be grabbed easily before
flight down the fire escape or the hall stair
