If possible. ' 'the residence of the patient should be situa- ted in the country, in a healthy suburb, or ', in1 a wide, open street. The rooms, and especially that used as the sleeping apart f. merit, should be lofty, capacious, well lighted by windows that open, and ventila l ted by direct and continuous free commu- -nication with the external air, summer and winter, night and day. Gradually lower the temperature of the room until there is not nearly so much differ ence between it and that of 1 the external air as that to which we are now accustomed. Great care should be taken about the clothing of the body. It is essen ,' tial that the clothes should be made so loose that they offer no impediment to the full and free movement of the chest "When order ing clothes be sure the measurement is taken at a fnll inspiration, and see that they are quite easy even then. Don't use braces, corsets or respirators; they tend to Impede the respiratory movement. "Wool manufac tured in such a way that it is elastic and permits free ventilation should be worn next the skin, and the under linen should be frequently changed, so that no impedi ment is offered to its emanations. A sponge bath should be taken every day. Low-heeled boots, with wide, broad toes, should be worn, so that walking exercise may be taken in comfort. Spend as ranch time as possible, and that daily, in some form or other of active exercise in the open air. Carefully avoid the habit of stooping; throw the shoulders back, the chest forward and fret into the habit of holding the body erect at all times. Breathe through the cose, ana iace nan a dozen deep inspira tions, followed by lull expiration, several limes daily. Go in for gymnastics, giving special attention to the development of the muscles of the chest, swimming, sincingand athletics, and get gradually acclimatized to the external air, wind and rain. Don't overload the bodv with clothes, and main tain the temperature in the natural way Dy increased muscular exertion. Get the chest girth and vital capacity taken at tegular periods, and record them, to that you may know what progress vou 8re making; and do not relax these efforts for a day until the chest girth at the nipple line has come up to the standard prescribed by your physician. The members ol con sumptive families and those who bear the marks of threatened disease a narrow chest and faulty carriage of the bodv. associated with some indication or other of deranged health should make it the first business of their lives to carry out ihe above directions. It is not everyone who is in a position to carry out the whole ot them, but by making Jta rnle or life to observe such as lie within the power of the patient, the difference be tween sickness and health can in the majority of cases he effected. Those who are engaged in sedentary, chest-constrictiug or dust-inhaling occupations should most scrupulously devote a specified time daily to the development ol the lungs on the fore going lines. Among special methods of curing con sumption may be mentioned that of n physi cian who depended almost entirely on exer cise in the open air. He ordered his pa tients to continuously ride on horseback till thev got well. This exercise was to be .ncu w me L-uumrj- wnere me air was good; the riding was to be increased from . to 150 miles a day; and the patients were to M.op only tor food for themselves and their horses, and not to remain more than one night ia a place. The result of this treatment was almost invariably successful. The vessel, which never before surpassed 15 knots an hour, reached almost 17 with the newjeombnstible. The engineers complain that the high heat generated injures the boilers. Unconscious EdnCRtlon of Childhood. from n study of the time occupied in mental acts by children old enough to un derstand what is asked of them, the gradual development of the human faculty can be traced as well as the unconscious education passed through in childhood. Ordinary ob servation shows that children are slow in re sponding to a stimulus. Actual measure ments have been taken by having children press upon a tube as soon as they heard a sound. The average adult time for this reaction is .11 of a second. Children from 4 to 7 vears old require over half a second to J- U .!- m.- tmn. YE OLDEN-TIME ROAD.

The times, too, are ir regular, from a minimum of one-fifth of a second to a maximum of a second or more, indicating an irregularity in the power to fix the attention upon so artificial a task. When the time was measured, the curve of contraction was also written. This in an adult is a quick, sudden stroke, occupying about .34 of a second. In three of the chil dren the movement occupied half again as much time, and in one child was as long as two seconds. Tnis suggested a test of the maximum number of pressures a child and an adnlt make in a given time. The adult makes 13 (in an extreme case 27) in four seconds, while the children averaged only nine pressures in the same time. FROM TAVERN TO TAVERN IT RAN.

This is the general title of the new idea, but it involves very much more than is implied in the above term. The apparatus provides the first practical method advanced for the low ering of life boats, as it seems to afford for the first time a way for the "last man" to leave a wreck with an degree of safety. The hoistine of the Boat is done by two men with a crank apparatus, which pe'rmits it to be accomplished with much less exertion and in a much smoother wav than the old method of blocks and ropes. Thelowering of tne do at is a great triumph over all methods now known. The boat is swung off the hur ricane deck with but little effort, and when filled with passengers can be lowered fast or slowly by the act of a sinele man in the boat, who, without any direct outlay of strength, works, by means of a rope a lever above. The great service rendered is in providing a means of lowering a boat lull of passengers without assistanceVrom above, or in case all had entered the boat to supply a means whereby the boat could be evenly lowered down and controlled in its descent. This cannot be done where it is being worked by blocks and ropes, the latter in the hands of men at opposite ends of the life boat DeTolopment tn Rallrond Work. Thousands of cars are now being ordered by the transportation lines. One order has just been placed for 10,000 cars for the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. Last week the Union Pacific ordered 5,000, the Missouri Pacific 3,000, the Baltimore and Ohio 4,000, the Hocking Valley and the In galls syndicate 2,000 each, and the New York Central 3,000. This seems to show the general advance in railroad interests over two or three years ago, when an order for 1,000 cars was considered a tremendously laree one. The quality of steel and iron used in car building has been improved, in creasing the capacity of freight cars bv 300 per cent. "While many of the old ten-ton cars are still in use, the majority of the speculations can tor aiMon cars. Prapoaed Hallway Acroaa the Sahara. 51. Holland, an eminent French engineer, recently read a paper before the Academic of Sciences, in which he insists on the neces sity of constructing a railway across the Sahara. The standpoint from which he re gards the project is the part which France will have to make up her mind she is going to play in the economic conquest of the in terior ot Africa. In his paper he defines what are the regions of the 'Western and Central Soudan, upou which French com merce could reasonably reckon, his conclu sion being that nothing useful or durable could be effected in Soudan without the as sistance of Algeria; while, in order to take any effective action in Algeria, that colony would need to be connected with the Soudan by means of a railway crossing the Sahara. Snpper Serrrd hy Electricity. Some new effects in the application of electricity were shown at a recent supper and dance in Baltimore. Two sets of musi cians furnished the music The dancing rooms were connected by folding doors. The musicians sat in the hall, and electric annunciators told them what dances to play, the leader of each set ot dancers simply touching electric buttons in their respective roams. In the tupper room there was a track of small brass rails, on which was an electric car or basket about a foot long and I SO inches wide. This car convpyed the I viands trom the butler s pantry. The butler placed the course in silver trays upon the car and sent them along the electric rail way. The car stopped long enough before each plate lor each guest to help himself. The car was also supplied with electric bells. The ballroom was beautifully illuminated by incandescent lisrhts in the shape of tulips, lilies and other flowers. Under the tables were music boxes operated by electricity, which plaved during the supper. Kot a dropof coffee ora bitofice cream was spilled Ijy the electrical waiter. Unique Barometer An old Belfast sea captain is credited nith devising a unique barometer. It con sists ot a thin piece of white pine with a number of cross pieces upon it. This is hung on the side ot the building, and when damp weather is approaching the barometer bulges out in tne center, while in dry weather the center sinks in and the ends come out. The old captain has unlimited faith in bis device, and would not exchange it for all the patent weather indicators known. Interior Decoration. It is curious what can be done in the way of interior decorations with homely mate rials by persons of artistic tastes. There is a firm of architects in Hew York whose in come is enormous, and who have a very handsome suite of offices. The walls of their largest and handsomest room are cov ered with ordinary bagging held in place by wide strips of cherry moulding. There is sot a person who enters this office who is sot struck by the thoroucbly appropriate and artistic effect of this combination. "When the late Cornelius Tanderbilt built his sum mer residence at Hartford, at an expense of over $100,000, the decorators covered the walls of his dining room with ordinary brown paper, such as is used by butchers to wrap meat in. There was a cherry wood dado and a rich frescoed frieze. This room was considered a triumph of decorative effect Hypnotism. The public attention and interest in the subject of hypnotism is reflected in scientific circles abroad. Very little attention has hitherto been paid to it in this country. A committee specially intended to give earnest and exhaustive attention to the subject has been formed in New York. This committee will devote some months to scientific re search and inquiry, and may possibly report before the close of the year. Electric Typewriter. An electric typewriter is being constructed which will write letters in New York as they are transmitted from Boston or vice versa, the communications being transmitted sim ultaneously over lour separate wires. Derelopment of the Horseshoe. At the Animals' Institute, London, En gland, a very interesting exhibition of horseshoes, old and new, was made. Some of those displayed were the work of pre his toric man, while others showed the latest developments of nineteenth century ingenu ity. Among the former were the early nail Jets shoes from a Bo man camp near llay ence; the earliest form or shoe used in northern Europe, the spiked toe, from a Scandinavian tumulus, and two styles of , Boman shoes of the time of the early Csssars. Among the modern horseshoes were varie ties of the modern nailless shoe, a shoe with a rubber rog pad and a non-slipping shoe of unique pattern. A Care fnr.-qnlnting-. A cure for squinting, which is not so un sightly as the method at present generally adopted black goggles with a hole in the center is highly recommended. Let the person afflicted take any pair of spectacles that suit his sight, or even plain glass, and in the center of one lens let him gum a small bine or black wafer (or spot of black photograph varnish or Brunswick black) bout the sixe of a 10-cent piece. The re sult is that the double image vanishes, and the eye, without fatigue or heat, is forced to look atraight, and with time and patience is cured. Mixed Coal and Petroleum as Fufl.

A magstticekx chance to make money. Seepage 14, to-day's Dispatch. Some people thins: Government is growing more paternal than it was in the earlv davs of the Republic It may be, so far as some pet corporations are concerned, bnt an ex amination of the early legislation of this State shows that 70 years ago no enterprise of importance was thought of save in con nection with State help. There seems to have been less of carping criticism when the century was young than now, and more charity. If corporations served the publio good, those who held stook in them seem to have been satisfied. Some of the men who bora the burden of the constrnction of the pike that is only known now between Saw mill run and Chartiers station on the Pitts burg and Lake Erie Railway never got a dollar out of.it, but were satisfied that it promoted the general weal. The Pittsburg and Stenbenville pike is a noted example of the way such highways were managed in the olden time. While it in its palmiest days never approached any thing approximating to the completeness of the Appian Way, it was, nevertheless, a much better road "half a century ago than it is to-day, and the users got more out of their money expended at each five-mile toll-gate than they do to-day out of their taxes paid to keep the same thoroughfare non-maintained. The charter therefor was granted in 1818. The capital stoct was 2,000 shares at $50 a share, $2 to be paid on subscribing, and the State paid (12,000 to ward construction. MOEE TBOH TOLL THAjr TEOM TAXES. Tollgates were allowed to be erected five miles apart but people were not required to pay in nassiue from one Dart of their farms to another, nor when going to or from public worship, to or from militia training, or elections, nor were children attending school, whether common or select On snch occasions all named were dead-headed. The Governor was directed to pay?4,000 (or each five miles constructed up to 15 miles, and it would appear that the State payment must have been applied to the Pittsburg end of the pike, as Mr. John Hood states that it was a pretty well stoned road as far as Stone cipher's place, some ten miles out. It would seem that 530,000 more must have been spent, as the corporators were not allowed to do business until that amount was paid in. Mr. Hood says that in his boy hood days the ten miles were kept good, the limestone being finelv broken, and all the complaint that conld Se made was that the grades were heavy. Mr. Hood savs the pike was built on the line of an old road that had originally been laid out to accom modate the farmers along the line, bending around to reach each just as the Baltimore and Ohio canal zigzagged from one corn or cheese district to another, to catch trade. Along this line taverns had sprung up about five miles apart and the pike was built from tavern to tavern and nothing like the Brooks law marred the harmony. THE PIKE WAS TnrPEOPITABLE. Mr. William M. Short whose father was one of the board of directors of the Stenben ville pike, accounts for the rivalry to be elected to the management when there ap peared to be nothing more in it than an annual dinner, by stating that the officials managed to farm the toll gates out in such way as to repay them for what appeared gratuitous work. The pike never paid a dividend, and Mr. Short states that in the height of its pros perity, when 20 wagons loaded with flour might be counted at one time on Chartiers hill, the stock wasn't worth $1 a share. These considerations induce Mr, Hood to think that even the State can do but little more than build trunk-line roads, and he argues that street car rails and electric motor cars would cost less than macadam ised roads, and horses might be dispensed with except for pleasuring or farm work. Doubtless it will not be many years until people will reeard the last decade of the nineteenth century as stnpid lor using animal power for heavy hauling. The sudden craze for rapid transit to the suburbs Of cities, which American railway companies refused to supply, will In a few years take it all out of their hands, as the electric tramway car can carry passengers cheaper than the regular railway companies. TDTUEE OF ELECTBIO EOADS. It will not be long until the electric rail way will run from the Pittsburg Diamond to Mansfield, and the ever-increasine noon- lation ot the Chartiers Valley will give it abundant work. Britisb railwaycompanies have catered to the "short-naul" popu lation to such an exlent that they will probably ever hold the trade, and they did it at enormous expense, one com pany spending $3,600,000 a mile to get to the center ot London, and secure its share of passenger traffic, mostly third class. Mr. Bea, one of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company's eneineers. en deavored some years ago to rouse Ameri can railway companies to a sense of the necessity of copying the British in this re spect, but they tailed to heed the warning, and probably for the general good. Before another generation passes, either electric-Impelled cars or something better will monopolize wagon traffio on country roads. This season has merely emphasized the need of improved transit through the agricultural districts, and the direct loss to business in ordinary years for lack of it is greater than the interest on the national debt, while the indirect loss can scarcely be computed in money. theatre: Under tt?e direction of l.M.6UMGK&C0.
