The curability of consumption has been
so thoroughly established that rules for the
suppression of the disease hare been drawn
tip by medical experts, and these hare been
found to be of the utmost value. 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

do the same thinz. 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.

Boat Hoisting Apparaloa.
A patent has just been granted for a
"boat-hoisting apparatus." 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.

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.
