Many Belgian papers dwell upon the
aecessity OF good milk as preventive
against sickness. Many experiments

M. Camille Flamnarion, the great
French astronomer, calls attention in
the Paris papers to the remarkable fact
that the subterranean disturbance
(which broke the cable connections in
the West Indies and caused destruc-

seismic instruments at Florence, Italy,
q distance Of over 5000 miles.
A liquid for sanitary spraying, for
use In the chamber Of the sick, is given
by French journal. 1t is composed Of
ten parts Of eucalyptol, three parts Of

parts of alcohol Of ninety degrees. To

In a lecture at Washington on the
open-air treatment Of consumption DR..
N. p. Barnes said: "There are no
greater wholesale murderers in the

TO treat case of pneumonia or con-
sumption there is an oil stove sitting

The temperature of ice is thirty-two
degrees, and to melt it over fire takes
14O degrees of heat, but it does not feel
any hotter than it did at thirty-two
degrees In other words; the 40 de-
Erees must not be added to the thirty
two degrees making the temperature
OF the melted ice 172 degrees, for that
heat is taken up by the water as latent
heat. We see, then, that heat ct 40
degrees is stored up in the water when
the Ice is melted. Now, when water
is converted into steam an additional
Meat Of 1000 degrees is stored up, so
Hsat 1140 degrees Of heat becomes
aafenf in converting ice into steam.
Tne process has two stages: First,
smelling the ice to water, in which we
do not notice any change in the tenn
peratnre; and, second, boiling the
Twater to make steam, in which the
ssbailTng water and steam are both 212
4 degrees. though in the change from
dne To fhe other a heat of 1000 degrees
has become latent.

any one troubled with constipation in

arising from an impure state of the
blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use

To Make Harness Last Lonaer.


A little economy which sometimes means a
good many dollars to a man, is the proper
care of harness, carriage-tops, etc. Leather
in daily use, exposed as it is to sun and wind,
soon becomes dry, hard, inelastic, and un-
able to stand strain Then, very likely at the
most unfortunate moment, break occurs, and
precious time and money are lost. All this is
easily prevented by a little forethought and
care the part of the owner. Every one
owning horses should be supplied with good
leather preservative, and a good axle oil.
These two things are necessary to the largest
economical use of a working outfit or pleas
ure equipage.
Observation has shown that no oil pene-
trates leather so deeply, and ressts~ the drying
effects of sun and wind SO we'll as Eureka
Harness Oil
Neatsfoot and some other inferior oils
sometimes used easily become rancid, be-
cause of containing acid, hurt the leather.

invariably use Eureka Harness Oil When
harness is given an occasional dressing of this
oil, and wagon spindes creased with Boston
Coach OIL very large reduction is made in
the necessary repair bills. Boston Coach Oil,
by the way, is very much superior to Castor
Oil. 1t has splendid lasting qualities, will not
gum or corrode, and is more economical in
every way.
People who are after economy in stable
management will de well to ask for these oils.

Western Housekeeper (from a nat
ural gas town)-Great difficulty ?
Every once in a while girl lets the
gas run too low before hgAting it and

No use looking for the old one.-New
York Weekly.
