Some Of the piling were washed
from under the railroad bridge
across Shell creek on Monday and
the afternoon and night trains
were delayed several hours, while
the damage was repaired. The
section force discovered the condi-
ton Of the bridge just before the
afternoon train going north from
here reached there, and it was due
to this that a serious wreck did
not result, for the train was stop
ped at the creek and sent back
here for crew which went up and
made the necessary repairs. By
next day trains were passing with
out any delays.

directly under it and was crushed

WHY is A AIR

Air is bad, when it is overheated.
when it contains an excess of mois-
ture, and when 1t is chemically con
taminated. This is the conclusion Of
the New York State Commission on
Ventilation, as summarized by Prof.
c. f. A. Winslow, chairman, in the
official organ Of the National Associa.
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, the Journal of the Out
door Life.
Prof. Winslow shows that while 1t
has been a matter of common belief
for a long time that stagnant air was
bad for the body, until recently no one
knew why this was so. The New
York State Commission on Ventila-
ton has definitely proven two counts
against bad air, one Of them for the
first time in history, and will probably
prove others later on.
The first indictment against bad air
shows that an increase in tempera-
ture beyond the normal seventy de-
grees produces serious arrangement Of
the vaso-motor mechanism Of the body,
resulting in a rise Of temperature, in
creased pulse, and a lowered blood
pressure, with a corresponding de-
crease in efficiency, both physical and
mental. In addition to this, overhead
ing conduces to an undesirable conges-
ton Of the mucous membranes of the
nose, thus. possibly paving the way
for colds, sore throats. and attacks Of
various germ diseases.
The work Of the Commission also
proves that chemical accumulations
in the air as a result Of air stagnation,
bring about a decreased appetite for
food, which in turn must have an in
favorable effect on the entire body. In
the Commissions experiments, the peo-
pie living in fresh air ate Az to IL
per cent. more than those living in
stagnant air.
"These experiments" says Prof.
Winslow, indicate that fresh air is
needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation Is
just as essential to remove the heat
produced by human bodies as 1t was
once thought to be to remove the car.
- L. - -
and it is o. proved also to be essen
tial for carrying away chemical pro-
ducts which exert a measurable effect
upon the appetite for food. People
who live and work in overheated and
unventilated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts of diseases, such
as tuberculosis, pneumonia, grip, ETC."

THE HOUSE PLANTS
BY n. 3. DORNER.

In the potting of house plants you
you know the needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form of decayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of all kinds of soil for
potted plants There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums( and the ordinary va.
rieties of blooming plants.-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants. Two parts loan, one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand II soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part well rotted
manure, and sand TO suit the texture
condition.
Use the finger test TO learn If the
plants need water, when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter; when 1t cakes readily there Is too
much water, so do not give the plants
little each day, but only water when
needed. Never use a nozzle on the
end of a hose in watering as 1t causes
the stream to pack the soil and injure
the foliage.

Euoenie and the Crinoline.

Empress Eugene should feel
interested in the threatened revival
of the crinoline for she helped to drive
this monstrosity out of fashion. In
January, 1889" writes a chronicler Of
nineteenth century modes, when
crinolines had reached their largest
circumference, the papers throughout
Europe reported that Empress Eu-
genie had appeared at a court ball
without a crinoline This was an event
which completely overshadowed Ma
poleon's famous New Year speech to
the Austrian ambassador. In the au-
tumn of the same year, when invita-
tons were being issued for Com
piegne, the empress spoke the word
No crinoline Shortly afterward Queen
Victoria also abjured the crinoline,
and her example was followed by the
empress of Austria" Those were
days when benevolent despotism was
the fashion.
