son..

AS one notes carefully the various
new fabrics and modes in spring dis
plays it becomes a noticeable fact that
the all-white fad is being pressed hard
for first place by the beautiful pale
tints now so artistically presented in
dainty stuffs for miladi's inspection.
In the new transparent cottons, in the
pineapple cloths and the very fine ba-
tiste and linens the delicate pinks and
blues. greens and lavenders are most
daintily wrought or printed, and while
of course the all-white gown will be a
favorite in the summer girls ward
robe, it will not monopolize her fancy
as it did last summer.

A Plan for Eseating Trains.

Considerable difficulty has been eX-
perienced in heating long trains Of
railway cars in Europe owing to the
condensation of the steam and to the
presence of water in the pipes. BY a
system devised by NJ. LancrenCn and
about to be installed on the Eastern
railway Cf France this is obviated by
employing compressed air, which is
mixed with the steam, and carries
along any condensed water to suitable
traps. The condensed air also en-
ableS smaller pipes to be used, and
where ten or twelve cars were for
merly the limit, now twenty or more
can be heated satisfactorily. The air
used amounts to about ten per cent
Of the steam supply, and when a
slight amount is used to raise the
pressure at the portion Of the train
near the engine, the effect is felt
through the line of pipes. In one in
stance, where steam was admitted to
the heating system at pressure of
fifty-seven pounds per square inch, the
pressure at the end of the train was
but ten pounds. Using sufficient air
to make the pressure sixty pounds
per square inch, twenty-eight and a
half pounds at the end of the train
were obtained, which fell to twenty
one and a third pounds after the
steam was admitted to the traps. With
trains of unusual length the results
were equally satisfactory.

Utilizing Coal Dust.

There has recently been a number
OF experiments made to find fuel
which should be not only much clean
er than coal, but which should also
increase the number of heat units
for given bulk of material, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger The ele-
ments Of cost of manufacture and
shipment must also enter into all
these calculations, so that what will
meet requirements in one locality is
totally untitled for another. To pre-
vent the waste of the saWdust from
the large mills which are cutting down
our forests sawdust and petroleum
briquette has been produced, and
other seemingly waste products have
been combined with chemicals to fit
them for use as fuel Thus the i'm
mense piles of culm dust to be seen
around the mouths of the coal mines
have come in for their share of at
tention. One of the newest chemical
combinations which utilizes this ma
terial in large proportion comes from
Kentucky and consists in melting res
in and oil together until they fuse,
adding to this while the mass is heat.
ed to $50 degrees Fahrenheit diluted
sulphuric acid. The resulting COM
pound is combined with mixture of
coal dust and black oxide of mangan-
ese, which has been heated for about
an hour at temperature of 200 de-
grees. This whole mass is then sub
jected to pressure to compress it into
bricks of any desired shape and size.

Ans.-The hens evidently died from
inflammation of the lungs, due proba-
bly, to their cold and draughty house.
Hens can stand a fairly cold house
during the day provided they take
plenty of exercise at scratching for
their feed in deep litter. They should
however, have a fairly warm place to
roost. A poultry house to be health.
should receive abundance Of sunlight
and be kept clean. Without these
conditions it is difficult to maintain
the flock in a healthy condition.

Roses for Hat Trimmings.

GA good ostrich fall makes a good
flower spring" is an old saying with
milliners, and the spring of 1904 will
bear out the truth of this statement.
Roses promise to take the lead The
tiny button variety, il single and dou-
bic garlands, edge the brims. encircle
the crowns or otherwise trim the hats.
Medium size roses are used as garni-
ture III single or double wreaths, and
large roses are often used singly
When the large flower is employed
tiny green leaves bordering the brims
make charming effect.

Handsome Street Gown.

A handsome street gown is of
mauve cloth. A hip yoke formed of
stitched bands of cloth fits snugly and
fastens with gold buttons a trifle to
the left. The bodice is fashioned
after the same idea, the stitched
straps giving a short-jacket effect,
closing on the side to correspond with
skirt decoration. The sleeves are
similarly treated and the large. loose
puff which falls from elbow is at
tached to a narrow cuff. The collar is
also made of stitched straps and gold
en- brown satin. the latter being used
for the deep girdle and scarf, which is
finished with brown silk fringe.

Ice Bicycle.

All the pleasures Of sieighing and
of bicycling might have been combin-
ed in a curious freak ice wheel had it
been wholly successful. The odd look
ing vehicle, which was contrived
years ago, was mounted on runners
which were intended to glide over the
ice or snow swiftly and smoothly like
an ordinary sleigh. The motive power
was supplied by an ordinary veloci-
pede or bicycle mechanism. The revo-
luton of the wheel forced a series
of sprockets to dig rapidly into the
snow or ice, thus propelling the con-
triyance.

Physicians Use Carrier Pigeons.

Physicians Use Carrier Pigeons.
Country Physicians in many in
stances have adopted the use Of
pigeons as messengers. A physician
raises a loft Of carriers, and when he
visits a patient four or five miles away
he carries with him basket contain
ing one of his birGs. If dangerous
symptoms arise in the night or the
following day the pigeon is released
with a message. Some physicians
with long country routes carry half
a dozen or more of these pigeons or
their rounds and leave one at each
place. A daily report of the different
cases can thus be obtained by pigeon
service. This service has also been
extended on large Western farms.
Some farmers receive daily reports of
the markets from the city in this way
when there are no telephone or teie-
graph wires to send the messages.
All that is required is a trip to the
city once a fortnight to carry back
the birds and some one in the city
to write the reports and release the
pigeons.
