sanitarluna of Glass.

Dr. John " Shoemaker, president of the municipal department of chari- ties and correction and a member of the faculty of the Medico-Chirurgica eollege, has secured from the city council of Philadelphia an appropria- tion of $80,000 with which he expects to build eight one-story glass houses on a seven-acre tract of land adjoin- ing the almshouse, where consump- tive patients will live in an atmos- phere of ozone generated by power full electric appliances similar to the rarified air of high mountains. The framework of the pavilions will be constructed of steel and the walls and roof will be of glass. Each pa- vilion will be equipped with the latest devices for maintaining a regular temperature. Ventilation of the glass houses will be an easy problem, the glass walls and roof being in sec tions and of pivotal construction, so they may be opened or closed at will. Chicago Journal.

nrixinr n NH hx sonna Waves

An interesting scientific toy, the ac- tion of which is explained by the the ory of sound waves, has recently at tracted attention in England. Mir. Bergen Davis, having observed that a small cylinder, closed at one end, if placed in sound wave, will arrange itself perpendicular to the wave, and begin to move in the direction of it's own axis, arranged four such cylin- ders on a rotating mill, the closed end of each following the open end of it's predecessor, like the cups of an ane- mometer, and then placed the mill in front of an organ pipe with it's axis of rotation perpendicular to the sound wave issuing from the pipe. When the organ was played the little mill rotated at a high velocity Science.

His Strenuous Remarks.

The eleveated train came to stop at Scollaw square with such sudden ness that an old man with silk hat and three bundles, was hurled down the aisle as if from catapult. Tie bundles and the hat took various di- rections, but the old man brought up against stout young woman, who promptly measured her length upon the floor.
 The young woman picked herself up The old man said as he groped about for his bundles: ''I-confound it-- know it-confound it-couldn't help myself it. Then as he left the car he glared at the guard and in- dulged in his final outburst: "Con- found it all, I say!"
 A man seated in the car said to his neighbor: 'sThe old fellow is church member" Perhaps" was the reply, "but he put good deal of expression into his words. ."-Boston Herald.

Dogs in Aiississippi.

The supreme court of the state holds that dog is not of pecuniary value, and therefore when he is killed by the railroad the party is not en- titled to recover damages. The case which brought forth this interesting statement from the court was that of w. R. Holiday vs. the Mobile & Ohio railroad. Holiday lived at Prairie station on that road, and owned a dog of uncertain breed, which one day strayed from it's home, got on the right of way of the defendant com pany and was run over by freight train. Holiday brought suit in the lower court and obtained judgment against the road in the sum of $100. The supreme court reversed the case. Justice Calhoun, in delivering the opin- ion of the court, said that a dog was an agile creature, and it could get out of the way of railroad train, and then the court held besides that the majority of dogs had no pecuniary value whatever. The court held that dogs could not be allowed to interfere with the arteries of commerce, and that the man was not entitled to re- cover.-Vicksburg Herald.

suppressing a sneeze.

"They are curious folks in Pitts burg" said the old man in the ulster : q was there few days ago, and while on a street car my nose began to tingla and I realized that had got to sneeze."
 "But no one tried to stop you, did they?" was asked.
 "No, but when I rose up and took off my wig, removed my glass eye slipped out 1ayNfalse teeth and got all ready to let Ter go the conductor came in and said it was against the ordi nance for a man to take himself to pieces, and I was run out,'-Boston Globe.

wind Mnrfs Cigar Trade.

ssHow's business?" asked the cus- toner at big uptown cigar store, as he nibbled at the end of his cigar.
 s.Nothing doing" said the man be- hind the counter, with look of mild disgust.
 1sWhat's the matter??"
 'sWind's blowing. Never do any, thing in our business when the winds blowing. The trade always begins to fall off when it gets cold and begins to blow.
 "A man who knows how to smoke never likes to smoke in the wind. The best time for us is the spring and summer. You might think that our trade in winter would be pretty good, because lots of men smoke in- doors then. We'll, we do have good box trade in winter, but the sum- mer is our time. The best 1nolth is May.'-N. Y. Sum-

sxvfndled the Landlord.

1 Recently gentleman was eating
 oysters in Paris restaurant, when he suddenly uttered an exclamation and removed an object from his mouth which had nearly broken his tooth. The other patrons gathered around and inspected the object, which one who said he was a jeWeler, declared to be pearl worth $250. The delight. ed finder ordered magnificent din. ner to celebrate the find and invited the jeweler to join him. When the waiter presented the bill for $60 for the dinner he declared he was short ot money, but asked the landlord to hold the pearl as security. This the land lord still has, and as it's value is two cents there is little chance that he will ever see the scamp and his jeweler ac- complice gain-Detroit Free Press.

A Homeless Community.

Some people iyein New Y York, others exist. It is certain that a majority of our citizens never owned home They live in rented flats or houses all their lives, and do not know the meaning of possession. Many millionaires dwell in hired residences. Their homes are in other states, but they must be in Fifth avenue during the social season, and they must keep house. Philadelphia has been spoken of as ''community of homes" New York is a community of rents. More than half of our people don't know what it is to pay taxes. Their obligations of citizenship are settled by the landlord, who takes everything out in the rent. We are be- coming characterless mob.-N; r. Press.
