For the bkiiurduu Tribune,
The newest heultli-Kiviiig discovery
Is called by its im-untor the tlienito
gen. It consists of a quilt containing
a coil of wire bunt in t tie fashion of a
gridiron, inclosed in insulating and
non-conducting material, and imbed
ded in cotton, wool or oilier soft sub
stance with a silk or woolen covering.
The resistance ollered by the coil to the
How of an electric current through the
wire produces heat in the same way
that heat and eventually litrht are pro
duced in the filament of the glow
lamp. A uniform temperature of about
lot) degrees Fahrenheit is thus main
tained; but in the event of the tem
perature rising beyoud that point from
Increase of pressure in the electric
mains, a fuse instantly melts and au
tomatically shuts oil' the current. The
quilt niiry'bo attached to ordinary in
candescent lamp terminals. In de
scribing this device London Lancet
says that this most important medical
use of such an invention would be on
the operating table, where, in leugth
eued operations or in those attended
with hemorrhage, where artificial
means to sustain the patient's temper
ature are required, blankets and hot
water are a decided nuisance. J n such
cases these quilts would be invaluable
as a soft, dry, warm and convenient
covering. Again, in cases of chronic
rheumatism, luinbagoor senile slowness
of circulation, such an appliance would
le useful. The thermogen is now re
ceiving trial at several large English
hospitals.
Dr. Stotzor-Buetzer, in one of the
foreign medical reviews, writes as fol
lows on the medicinal and hygienic
properties of the apple: Apples eaten
immediately before bed time promote
the health generally. Jts dietical as
well as alimentary substance is of the
highest order. It contains more phos
phoric acid in an easily digestible com
bination than any other vegetable
product. It is (1 1 good brain food, (2)
excitei the functions of the liver, (It)
promotes a sound and quiet sleep, (4)
disinfects the mouth, (.r) agglutinates
the surplus acids of the stomach, (0)
paralyzes hemorrhoidal disturbances,
") helps the secretions of the kidneys
and prevents calculus concretion, (8)
obviates indigestion and (0) is a good
preventive against diseases of the
throat.
Many Pittstonians and several
Serantonians remember H. It. How ley,
the artist, who boarded formally years
at the Eagle hotel in IMttston. Mr.
Howley is now in L'tica, N. Y., in ro
bust health. Years ago he was a vict
im of acute dyspepsia and siill'ered Un
told misery from indigestion. One
day his torture became so intolerable
that in sheer uesperation he seized a
huge beefsteak a thing unprecedented
plastered it over with mustard an
inch thick he hud never before looked
at mustard and swallowed the whole
conglomeration in a trice. Mr. Howley
no doubt expected this would bring on
a crisis, if not au undertaker. Nor was
he disappointed about the crisis. The
mustard and the beef steak formed
such an amicable alliance in his ali
mentaries that the demon dyspepsia
was fairly shamed into retreat. The
next day Mr. Howley repeated this
accidental prescription and added
mustard to his bread and potatoes as
well. The long and short of it was
that by the free use of mustard, he
knocked his dyspepsia out in less than
a .fortnight and could now introduce
iron wedges into his stomach without
feeling much the worse therefor. This
narrative may run counter to the tradi
tional teachings of hygiene, but it is
the sober truth, as Mr. Howlev will
himself attest.- And the point to it, if
mere is any point, is mac dyspep
tics often overdo the matter of "diet
ing," aud by their fussy abstemious
ness augumenl rather than relieve the
original trouble.
'
According to the directions of Dr.
Salmon, to sterilize milk, take a tin
pail and have made for it a false bot
tom perforated with holes and having
legs half an inch high to idloAy circula
tion of the water. The. bottle of milk
to be treated is set on this false bottom
aud the pail is Tilled with water until
it reaches the level of the surface of the
milk in the bottle. A hole may be
punched in the cover of the bottle, in
which a cork is inserted, and the ther
mometer is put through the cork so
that the bulb dips into the milk, and
the temperature can thus be watched
without removing the cover. This
water is then heated until the milk
readies a temperature of 155 degrees
Fahrenheit, when it is removed from
the heat and allowed to cool gradually.
A temperature of 150 degrees main
tained for half au hpur is sufficient to
destroy any gemis likely to bo present
in the milk, and it is found in prac
tice that raising the temperature to
155 degrees and their allowing it to
stand in the heated water until cool,
insures the proper temperature for the
required time. The Pasteur method is
practically the same the temperature
is raised to KiO degrees, kept there
about ten minutes, and the cooling
process is as rapid as possible, rather
than gradual. It is found that the lat
ter method makes the milk more easy
of digestion in the case of infants or
delicate persons. Either process in
mres the ridding of dangerous germs,
lud milk so prepared will keep usable
thirty-six hours.
There is a good bit of healthy sense
In Kate Field's advice io women:
"Judicious mental work may help to
lift one out of the ruts ot premature
Did age. Head and think what you
read. Don't., use your, mind as if it
tvere a sieve and you were trying to
ee how much you could pour through
It. There is a belief extant that knowl
edge, if gained at all, must be acquired
In youth. Fallacious theoryl Behold
Balileo at three score and ten pursuing
iis-studies with unflagging zeal; Cato
beginning Greek when advanced in
Fears. Ogilby commenced classical
itudies when past CO. Gladstone is as
much the student today as when the
bloom of youth mantled his cheek. Be
kind to the feelings and fancies of
pouth. If they prove perennial so
touch the better. Don't forbid your
elf glad, recreative thoughts and
lotion. Don't bo ashamed to make
rourself as pretty aft you can. A sell
able woman may feel a thrill of pleas
ire innocent as a maiden's when re
viving a glance of respectful admira
tion from a manly form. Smile with
out affectation, be pleased without be
ing silly in short, be young as lonu as
you can.
The composing room towel has been
for years a favorite theme for satirical
allusion among those familiar with its
granolithic properties; but there are to
be seen in more than one Scran ton
restaurant a species of towel which
presses the dusky fabric of the print
shop hard for its honors. We allude to
the small snatches of bedraggled linen
which depend from hooks in front
of certain bars. If one of these could
only speak, what a tale of microbe
mixing and disease genu miscegena
tion it could, perchance, unfold. The
mouth that drips with sour ale vies
with the moustache fresh from an ab
lution in buttermilk in the elfort to
blend its siirpluss upon this liberal
"wipe"; and all because the average
man is too careless or too improvident
to carry with him, for use in such
emergencies, a spare handkerchief. The
statistics of disease propogatiou un
doubtedly owe much to this forget ful
ness. Health for the Millions:
To relieve a sty take every six hours
one-twelfth a grain of sulphide of cal
cium. Often a jaded appetite may be re
vived without ill result by taking
five drops of diluted hydrochloric
acid in a half glass of water before
meals.
Bathing the nose twice a day with
hot water and sulphur soap will
eventually remove the yellow "llesli
worms" that often collect in the pores
of the nose.
As a cure for erysipelas in the lower
extremities take through a glass tube,
every four hours, twenty drops of the
tincture of chloride of iron in a tum
bler half full of cold water.
Dr. Antal, a Hungarian chemist, lias
discovered a new chemical compound,
the nitrate of cobalt, which, ho says,
is a most efficacious antidote to poison
ing by cyanide of potassium or prussie
acid.
Acknowledgiuen lis due to the Phila
delphia Record's superior "Health and
Hygiene" department on Sundays for
many of the suggestions and remedies
noted in this column of the Saturday
Tin HUNK.
Itcliiug of the feet may often lie re
lieved in one week by bathing the
affected parts in water hot as can bo
borne. Dry, then wet old linen and
muslin with phenol sodique and ug
lily, night and ' morning. Wear un
bleached socks throughout the year.
The old notion that water must ho
prohibited in (lie case of raging fevers
has in most instances been abandoned
by the medical profession. Cracked
ice applied to the patient's parched
tongue is preferable to the water itself,
but when the latter has been distilled
and cooled it will oftener do good than
harm.
Milady's hands may be kept white
aud soft if she will remember to use
lemon juice every time she washes
them. Wear gloves on the street, ami
upon going to bed thoroughly rub into
the hands the. following mixture:
Tincture of benzoin, one ounce; gly
cerine, one ounce; water, one ounce.
HIeep with old, loose kid gloves on the
bauds.
To remove fullness from beneath the
eyes take twenty drops of the tincture
of the chloride of iron in half a glass of
water after meals (take through a glass
tube) for eight weeks. Between meals
and when retiring at night, take five
drops of the tincture of digitalis in a
wineglass full of water, for three
weeks; discontinue for one week and go
on for three more weeks.
Do not read while riding on railway
trains. Give the eyes a rest. This
common practice of reading on the
cars is- most trying on those delicate
muscles that regulate the shape of the
eyes' lenses and so affect the focaliza
tion of the organ. The danger is great
est, of course, on those railroads whose
ballasting is imperfect and whose rails
are roughly laid, producing much jar
ring and consequent rapid changing of
the distance between the eye and the
paper. That "abominable headache"
common to travelers is many times
due to nothing else than this strain on
the muscles aud nerves of the eye.

The letter read before the North
Main Avenno Batnist church last Sun
day morning was very encouraging to
Dota pastor and people. It bri'-flv
aninmed up the work of the year. The
present memborship is 230; forty were
received into the church during the
year and twenty were dismissed. The
Sunday school is in a flourishing
oondition. and has an enrolled mem
bership of 200. The finances are
in good condition and all soci
eties connected with the church are
flourishing. Tho most interesting
item in the letter was the glad tidings
that the debt on tho church was wholly
removed. During Mr. Watkins' pre
vious pastorate, about two years ugo,
pledge wore taken from the members
that covered the dobt, which then
amounted to $3,000. These were not
paid in as rapidly ns anticipated be
cause of the pressure of poor times, bat
during the last year the pledges were
almost wholly redeemed and the debt
rt'movod. The pastor nnd members are
greatly pleased at tbs result and will in
ino near future hold a jubilee service,
at which the mortgage will be burned
and a season of rejoicing will be ob
served by tho church and congregation.
MOODY MEETINGS.
The people of the West Side will
have an opportunity to hear
the eo-laborors of D. L. Moody,
who havo dona such excellent
work in Luzarno county. A tent has
been erected on two vacant lots on
North Main avemip, between Jackson
and Price streets. In this, services will
bo held for the next two or three weeks.
Au executive coininitto has tba work
in charge, of which Rov. D. C. Hughes,
D. D., is presidout. All tho churches
of tho West Side are co-operating in
the work, and during the week union
meeting have been held, where the pas
tors meet and devise the boat possible
moans of conducting these services.
Evangelist E. W. Blis3 will cond.net
the services at present, but soon, bis
co-laborer, Mr. Schivere, is expooted
in tho city, Tomorrow morning all
churches will worship as usaal, and
the regular Sunday school services will
be conducted. A 3. CO p. in. nnd at 7.30
p. in. services will be conducted in the
tents, Churches holding services at
G p. m. can meet as usual, but thos
assembled for voninp; worship at 7.00
or 7.30 p. in., are requested to suspend
their service and join in the e-.Tvien in
the tout. Much interest is taken in
these meetings, and thi good done by
tbo campaign in our ndj iining county
is a promise of what will be done in
the city.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.
The members of the Puritan Congre
gational chnrcli of Providence have
surprised their friends in the strenu
ous efforts they have made to ere".t the
commodious house of worship now oc
cupied by them. The vast majority of
the church are young Cambro-Ameri-cans,
and rilled with the push and pluck
characteristic of our people, they are re
solved not to flag In their efforts until
tho main entrance to the church will
be properly fixed, The expose of
building a retaining wall and placing
stone steps into position will amount
to hundreds of dollars. In order to se
cure fnnds they will bold a fair and
festival iu the fall. Tickets for the
same were issued this week, which
have been well received by the public.
It will be nooessary also, before tbo
winter sets in, to put in the church a
heating apparatus, which is another
obj-'ct for which the young peoplo are
working. Thoir enthusiasm and earn
estness desire success, and wa hope
thoir efforts will be properly rewarded.

by tho bill they will bo ruthlessly taken

probably there is some foundation for the

Mrs. Margaret Morris, wife of a collier

of pastor ordered the church secretary to

tho church mombers' li-t, signifying that
she had been expelled. Mrs. Morris kicked
against this with tho result that the pas

as it bears strongly on the right of Welsh
pastors and deacons to coustituto them

Swansea, S. W., Aug. 10.
TO sucli a state of perfection has
mechanical skill aud nautical
science brought the inter-com-munieiition
between the old
and new world at the present dav.
thntatripacross the Atlantic is thought
no more ot by those who are consider
ed wealthy tliau would be a journey to
New York by the average Serantonian.
However, to one whose dollars are not
us numerous as the sands of the sea
and who, if be strikes terra Anna once
again iu that city that is known the
world over for beiiw the home of the
Tammany tiger, will bless old Nep for
having preserved him from being a
source of nutriment for that species of
the linny tribe that produces so much
Done, it is, indeed, atrip that is attend
ed with considerable pleasure and ex
citement. The excitable throng which irathered
at the pier to bid friends adieu, the
muscular porters who are gathering
trunks aud boxes of all descriptions
and designs, the huge dimensions of
the vessel that is to be your home for
the next six or seven 'days, and the
misy seamen wiio are running to and
fro putting the last touches on her be
fore she starts out on a voyage that is
ns uncertain as is tno voyage ot lire,
all go to produce a feeling that words
are unable to describe.
ON IIUATtD THK LUCANIA.
It was my good fortune to be one of
the eighteen hundred souls that were
aboard the steamer Lucania when sho
sailed from Pier 40, North river, on
the twetity-eignt day ot last month
The rtuy was perfect. Old Sol never
shone brighter. Amidst the tooting of
whistles and the thousand cries of
"lion voyage! " we steamed down the
buy nnd started on a iourney that for
six days at least, perhaps forever who
on board could tell? would cut us
oil from all communication with the
busy world.
Jollity and mirth, however, reigned
supreme. Perhaps there were a few
who east one longing, lingering look
behind as they thought of the dangers
of the mighty deep and heaved a sigh
when there passed before tlieiu faces of
dear ones that had been lelt behind.
Hut this (piiekly lied and each one
seemed on one common purpose bent,
that being to getas inucii pleasure and
eiimymeut out ol tne trip as possible.
Among the prominent people on
hoard probably the best known were
II. (J. brick, or the Luruegie .steel com'
puny ; ex-Mayor Urace and family, of
Mew l ork; iiidwai'd htokes and i'ercy
A. Pyne, of the same city. The llrst
two days are spent in forming ac
(uaintances and after that everybody
knows everyone else and each one adds
his mite toward lessening what other
wise might lie a monotonous voyage.
We were fortunate in having several
good vocalists and elocutionists with
us, who aided us very materially iu
helping pass trie time.
TOM JOXKS A FAVORITE.
From our city we had T. II. Jones,
the genial treasurer of the poor board
who at once became a favorite, and
many an hour sped rapidly by while
Tom was explaining the geological
conditions of the coal strata in the
Keystone state. Rev. W. S. Jones,
niistor of the First Welsh Rantist
church, was also a passenger, and his
knowledge ot literature and literary
characters made him a very interesting
conipauion. We also had a real live
prince with us. He was the sou of
King Arssuah, of the Vei people, in
Africa, and had been to America to be
educated. He spoke r;nglisli very ilu
ently and was the center of attraction
during the entire trip.
It is hard I v possible lor one who hat
not crossed the Atlantic to conceive of
the proportions of these mighty ves
sels. They are in reality floating ho
tels. Tlio Lucania Is OHO feet long,
She has a registered tonnage of 12,000
pounds, carries provisions enough to
feed il.oOO people tor three weeks, con
sumes -hiO tons of coal a day, and on
this last trip when wo left New York
she had 1,000 cases of beer and ale, to
say nothing of the spirits and wines,
and on the following lliursday night,
before we reached (Jueenstown, the bar
looked as though the Rev. Mr. l)ony
was trying to euiorce nis Kundayob
sei'Viiujco law on the deep, for not a
drink was in sight. Everything was
empty.
The weather was more than could
be expected, not au hour's rain from
the timo we started until we lauded
and the sea, with the exception of one
night, was as calm as a null pond,
THE EMEltALD 1SI.E.
On Friday niorniug we sighted the
lieuutilul coast ot Ireland aud It was,
indeed, a sight never to be lorgotteu
Tlio green hills in the distance and the
pretty httlo farms that lay inter
mingled among them, but which could
be seen very plainly by the aid of a
marine glass, made one think that it
was one of tho fairest spots on earth,
especially if you had not seen laud for
nearly a week 15y noon we were at
Queenstown, nt which place we land
ed four hundred of our passengers and
fifteen hundred bags of mail. Before
midnight we were in the Mersey and
within sight of Liverpool, but did not
succeed in getting landed until Satur
day morning.
The trip from the start to the finish
was ono of pleasure and enjoyment and
not one on board could be heard to ex
press dissatisfaction with the ollicers
or crew. It would not surprise me iu
the least to hear any moment of the
good vessel having gone to the '.jttom
for when I left her she was showered
with thanks, praise, and congratula
tions for having landed us safely, the
combined weight of which must cer
tainly exceeded her registered tonnage.
After having our baggage Inspected we
parted going iu all directions some to
China, others lo India, Africa, Rome,
Paris and London, the coal baron and
myself coming down Into little Wales
to rest up among the hills and vales
before su.rting for the continent.
On Sunday next we are to have the
Jleasure of hearing the Revs. Fred and
ohn Evans of America. They are to
be assisted by their two brothers, all of
whom willpreaeb in this city.

In using medicines to stop pain we should

Opium, Morphine, Ether.Oocaine and Chloral
top pain by destroying the sense of percep
tion, when the patient loses the power ot
feeling. This ia tho most destructive prac
tice; it masks the symptoms, shuts up, and.
lu stead of removing trouble, breaks down
the sttmach, liver and bowels, and, if con
tinued for a length of time, kills the nerve
and produces local or general paralysis.
There is no necessity for using these un
