Her Use Of the Directory.
cortland Express.)

A styiishly dressed and altogether
good looking woman was turning over
the leaves Of the directory In q leisure
ly manner when an irascible old gen.
tleman, known to his many acquaint-
ances as q man with q very small stock
Of patience, entered. He wished to use
the directory, too, possibly to look up
the address of q man who owed him
money. He stood about. now and then
casting heavy looks in the direction of
the directory, and coughing sugges-
lively.
A business man in a hurry followed.
He wanted to know where Walter
Jones lived. 1t is block or two away,
but he has forgotten the number. He
fell into line.
Then a man who sought some city
official but knew nothing Of his office.
except that it closed in a few minutes,
joined the ranks of walters.
Still the woman placidly turned over
leaf after leaf. without any apparent
intention to decide whether the name
she was seeking was Brown. Smith or
Jones.
Finally, when matters were begin
ming to grow very tense, a young man
rushed in. His mission would positively
admit of no delay. SO he politely offered
to assist the woman, suggesting that
his experience might tend TO save time
and lessen her labor. When he asked
her what she sought, with q sweet
smile full of appreciation, she replied:
'Oh. thank YOU You are very kind
am trying to find q real pretty name
for my baby"

Editor National Tribune: 1 should
like to have a receipt of how to make
muciiage such as is used on envelopes
and United States postage stamps. viii
you please publish same in The Ma
tionai Tribune?-S. Beckom, Westport,
Cal
We do not know the precise for
muia used by the United States for
stamps. but the basis Of all these muci-
lagos is dextrin made from starch. The
usual way is to dissolve dextrin in a
quantity of hot water until a sirupy
liquid Is obtained, then a few drops OF
Glove oil Or other aromatic oil may be
used to give it a pleasant flavor Dis
titled alcohol is usually employed in
making the envelope and stamp solu-
tion so as to make it dry quicker. 1t
does not make as strongly adhesive
mixture as when water alone is en-
ployed. Some makers also add q few
drops of acetic acid. A little powdered
sugar will add to the glossiness of the
dried gum without interfering greatly
with its adhesiveness. The sugar
should be dissolved in the water before
the dextrin is added. This is a better
mucilage for most purposes than gum
arabic,s which does not take hold of
wood, pasteboard or metallic surfaces
well

Hair and Heath

The variations in the thickness of
the hair upon the same individual have
been studied by the japanese scientist
Matsura and he makes some interest
ing observations. 1t is known that in
certain diseases we find, among other
differences OF growth, very marked
variations in the growth of the finger
nails both In length and thickness. It
is found that The hair is also in
fluenced, and all the affections which
act upon the general health bring
about a dirhinution in the thickness of
the hair. The medullary layer may
even be interrupted and the hard layer
which 1T contains may disappear OBJ
servations made upon hair will there
fore show the variations in thickness
according to certain maladies and the
length Of the affected part or the thin
her portion Of the hair gives an idea
of the duration Of the maIady, and
even Of slighter affections. The varia-
tions are naturally more strongly
marked in the case of coarse haired
races than for others. Provided the
hair had never been cut, the subject
would have his pathologic history writ
ten. SO to speak, in capillary terms.

Boilers and Power,
(Scientific American. }

The question is often asked whether
in case Of installing q certain horse
power of boilers. say. 800 horsepower,
1t would be more economical to have
three boilers of 100 horsepower each
or two boilers of $50 horsepower each
By all means have the two larger units
as 1t will always be found that the larg-
er boilers have less radiation, less air
leakage, and better combustion than a
corresponding horsepower in small
units. II 1t is necessary to have spare
unit for cleaning, let there be another
one provided of the same SIZE In re-
gard to the pressure to be carried, it is
well known that a high pressure gives
greater amount Of expansion and bet
ter economy in proportion to the fuel
burned. Even with simple engines in
which 1t is not possible to obtain the
full advantage of expansion, the high
pressure of steam, which is drier and
contains larger number of heat units
In proportion to the volume, gives the
best results. Every boiler should be
designed for not less than $50 pounds
pressure per square inch. Even If it is
not possible to utilize the full pressure.
the boiler will be stronger, last longer.
and be better investment in the long
run.

were divided into little Governments

wars ragged constantly TO decimate the

brought about peace. introduced a uni

LOng-SDan BRIDGES.

Long-span bridges have Of late not
only become more numerous, but their
length has been gradually increased.
until the long-span bridges of form er
years are now considered spans Of mod
crate size only. The necessity for the
great number Of long-span bridges i'm
the United States arose from the fact
that many wide navigable rivers had to
be bridged where the interests Of nayi-
cation demanded long spans, or where
they were required on account of deep
and expensive foundations, or on ac-
count of other conditions determining
the length OF spans. There are now In
existence in America about SO railroa d
bridges containing simple spans of 400
feet or more, Is of which exceed 500
feet. the longest one being the Ohio
River Bridge at Louisville, with a span
OF 546 feet. completed in 1894. There
are also q number Of highway bridges
exceeding 400 feet span. The length of
spans practicable for simple trusses has

One on Bragg.
(January Lippincott.)

Some years ago in Alabama one of
the most talented lawyers practicing in
the South was the late Col. Bragg, but
he had a peppery temper.
Not only did Col. Bragg's disposition
involve him from time to time in seri-
Gus differences with his colleagues but
it also led him to break off amicable
relations with Judge Robinson, a
most estimable jurist, who, while pre-
siding over a suit in which Bragg was
interested, had by his decision incurred
the resentment of the advocate. So.
for a long time the Colonel declined
even to speak to the Judge, save when
it was absolutely necessary In the course
OF business.

The Wnpfti In Second Only to the Moose.
ernest Thompson Seton, in January

This great Stagge'' is the largest of
the true Deer, the largest of all Deer,
emitting the Moose. Many books and
many hunters say that the Wapiti is the
size Of horse, which recalls the old
classic about the gem being as large as
a piece Of coal. But having in mind
an ordinary horse Of the kind used in
the Wapiti country, standing about IA
hands at the withers and weighing
about 1000 pounls, it is safe to say
that many bull Wapiti reach this size,
Two small bulls which l weighed in
Wyoming in 1898 were respectively $50
and 531 " pounds each after bleeding.
These were in their third year, and
therefore not full grown. An adult
cow weighed one month later was
49OA pounds. Judge Cation thought
600 pounds would exceed the average
live weight of a full-grown bull, but
believed that they sometimes reached
