Action of Continuous Kails, Continuous rails, made tip of ordi nary rail lengths, welded together electrically, are in nee on many miles of eloctrio street railways in the United States, and with excollent results, too, having shown themselves to constitute an ideal track. Whatever misgivings may have arisen at one time as to the serious pranks which expansion and contraction might play with Bach con tinuous tracks, have been effectively allayed, as experience has shown that the difficulties likely to grow from these causos are not extraordinary. It is interesting, however, to note that ol the troubles from temperature varia tions iu the track, that due to a tem perature lower than the one at which the rails were weldod is the only one requiring serious consideration, it if found in the tendency ot tho rail to shrink in a longitndinal direction and tbis must be counteracted by a pall on the ends of the rail suffloiont to produce a corresponding amount oi stretch. Temperatares above that al which the rails were welded, cause compression, and this has never been found to make trouble where the trad was at all secured by the roadbed. The Wonderful Kava-Kava Shrub. A New Botanical Discovery. Of Speoial Interest to Sufferers from Diseases of the Kidneys or Blad der. Rheumatism, etc A Blessing to Humanity. A Free Gift of Great Value to You. Our readers will be glad to know that the new botanical discovery, Alkavis, from tbe wonderful Kava-Kava sbrub has proved an assured cure for all die- 1 jr eases causea oy uric ff$t acid iu the blood, or oy disordered action of the Kidneys or urinaryorgans. The Kava-Kava Sbrub, or as botanists call It. Piper Mcthys tic urn, grows on tbe batiks of tbe Ganges river, East India, TheKava-KavaSiihvb and probably was t riper aeinymcum.i llbea tor Centuries by tbe natives before its extraordinary properties became known to civilization through Christian missionaries In this respect it resembles tbe discovery of quinine from the peruvian bark, made known by tne Indians to the early Jesuit missionaries in South America, and by them brought to civilized man. It is a wonderful discovery, with a rec ord of 1200 hospital cures in 30 days. It acts directly upon tbe blood and kid neys, and is a true specific, just as qui nine is in malaria. We have tbe strong est testimony of many ministers of tbe gospel, well-known doctors and business men cured by Alkavis, wheu all other remedies had failed. In the New York U rrkfv World of Sept. 10th, the testimony of Rev. V. B. Moore. L. D., oi Washington, P. C. was given, describing his years of suffering from Kidney disease and kheumatisiu, and his sapid cuie by Alkavis. Rev. Thomas biuith, the Methodist minister at Cobdeo, Illiuoir, parsed nearly one hundred gravel stones alter two weeks' use of Alkavis. Kev. John H. Watson, ot Sunset .Texas, a miuibler of the gospel of thirty years' service, was struck dowu at his cost of duty by Kidnev disease. After hovering between life and death for two months, and all his doctors having failed, be took Alkavis. and wait completely restored to health and strength, and is fulfilling fis duties as minister of the gospel. Mr. K. C. Wood, a prom inent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cured of Rheumatism, Kidney and fiia'lder disease of ten years standing, by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes himself as being in constant misery, often com. . pelted to rise teu times during the ni'ht on account of weakness of the bladder, lie was treated by all his home physicians without the least benefit and finally completely cured in si few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. Tames Vouug, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried Six doctors in vain, that she was about to (give up iu despair, when she found Alkavis and was promptly cured of kidnev disease and restored to health. Many other ladies also testify to the wonderful curative powers of Alksvis in the various disorders peculiar to womanhood. , So far tbe Church Kidney Cure Com pany, No. 424 Fourth. Avenue, New York, are the only importers of tbis new remedy, and they are so anxious to prove its value that for the sake of intro duction they will send a free treatment of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every reader of this paper who is a Sufferer from any form of Kidney or Bladder disorder. Bright' Disease, Rheuma tism, Dropsy, Gravel, l'aiu iu Bark, Female Complaiuts, or other affliction due to improper action of the Kidneys or Urinary Organs. We advise all Ruf erers to send their names and address to tbe company, and receive tbe Alkavis free. It is sent to you entirely free, to prove its wonderful curative powers. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

Mrs. Lomcke's formula for a temp ting apple dessert is one dozen Spit zenberg apples parod and cored whole ; theso are put in a wide saucepan with sufficient water to cover thorn, the water being brought to the boil before the apples aro added. Cook the apples till a straw will easily pierce them, then carefully take ont and arrange in a large glass dish ; boil the liquor down till it is reduced to a quart, add one cup of sugar and one ounce of gelatine soaked for fittoen minutes in a little cold water ; boil the syrup with these for a few rrinutes, then set aside to cool slightly before pouring it over the apples, and patting the dish on ice to get firm. Serve with whipped oream. Almonds blanched and finely chopped, or grated cocoanut sprinkled over the jelly, improve both taste and appear ance of this dish. .

The genuine rich brown sugar, which is the unrefined produot ot the cane, can no longer be found for sale in the market, though a small quantity of this sugar is still prepared on soma Southern plantations, and occasionally a little is forwarded to Northern cus tomers or to friends. This sugar makes tho most delicious "pralines." The light sugar of our market, however, is a fairly good substitute for it. Add two-thirds of a cupful of boiling water and two even tablespoonfals of sweet, saltless batter to a pound of the sugar. Stir it nntil it melts. Add a mere pinch of cream of tartar, and let tho syrup boil without stirring again nn til a drop of it will make a soft ball when rolled between the fingers. Wet tho fingers iu ice water before testing tho syrup. When tho drop is still soft, but does not stick, the candy is ready. If it is hard, so that the drop craoks when bitten, it has boiled too long, and in that case add a table spoonful of water and let the syrup boil an instant. Do not stir it, how ever, bnt merely test it again. When it has readied the "ball" or soft, creamy condition, remove it from the fire and pour in a cup of nice pecan kernals. Pour the caudy out into very thin sheets on buttered tins, and when it is partly cooled crease it with a knife into candles aboat two inches square. Creak the sheet into separate candies when it is cold. Another way is to take out the candy by tbe teaspoonful as soon as the syrup has cooled for about two minutes. Allow each spoonful room to spread ou the buttered tin sheet on which it is dropped. New York Tribune. IIOrHEHOMJ HINTS. Scraped apple is said to disguiso the taste of quinine.

If you have cooked cornmcal mash, instead of filling tho kettle with water t j soak after it is emptied, set it on tho back of the stove, where it will keep pretty warm, and let dry.

Tho total r capita consumption of spirits, wines nnd beer In 18U was 17.04 gallons; In ISM It was lfi.43, showing a reduction of 10. 0J gallons per capita in tho fivo years, Tho most notable reduction w:ts in tho uo of spirits, which diminished from 1.50 gallons In 1W2 to one gnllon In ISM. There was a similar reduc tion In tho nso of wines nud a very, slight reduction in tho useof beor. Tho number of gallons of spirits consnmexl wna In round numbers, 71.000,000, which Is less than wn, oousumod In 1087, ten years ago. From 1CS7 to 1X!S there was a Siondy Increase, tho amount reaching In tho bust named year over 101,000.001) gallons. 8 uco then there Iris been a decline. Mr. B irrott estimates that about 11,000,010 gallons of spirits are used annually in tho nrts, manufactures nnd In mwllotne, leaving abent 60,000,000 consumed as a beverage. Ho further istimates that barrooms retail a gallon In about sixty drinks, receiving therefor 44.50.

LET S DOWN TUE SALOON. Nearly all tbo crime committed in this country Is in some way connected with whisk v and the saloon. Not only do wo have the crime itself, but we have tho ruined characters of tbe criminals, tho suffering ot their innocent parents, wives and children, the cost of tho courts and the prosecuting officers, of tho jnlls and deputy sheriffs, and nil other costs counocted with tho searching lor and punishing those who commit crimes. And then wo must remember, that for pay for the license foes we auttorize a lot ot saloon-keepets to breed all this crime and misery. Bv thus licensing them wo throw tho protection of the lnw over them, and, la fact, go Into partnership with them and share their ill gotten gain. How long are we going to be willing to be partners In this wretched, low-down business? Wo ought to be ashamed of ourselves. Michigan Inde pendent. A CONTBAST.
