C. - .Germ Infected Air. t Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swamps and marshy regions of the country, but wherever there is bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous vapors and ga'ses from sewers, and the musty air of damp cellars are laden with the germs of this miserable disease, which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the blood and transmitted to every part of the body. Then. you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the cause. No energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfcebling malady. As the disease progresses and the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark or -- yellow spots appear upon the skin. When the poison is left to ferment and the microbes and germs to multiply in the blood, Liver and Kidney troubles and other serious complications often arise. As Malaria begins and develops in the blood, the treatment to be Seffective must begin there too. S. S. S. destroys the germs and poisons and purifies the polluted blood, and under its tonic effect the debilitated constitution rapidly recuperates and the system is soon clear of all signs of this depressing disease.

The Sun and the Hot Stove Pour ov4 the Same Kind of Energy. So far as I know no reasons at all for doubting the high temperature of the central body of the solar system have ever been found. There are in general three distinct ways in which heat can be transferred from one body to an other-conduction. convection and radi ation. The first two are dependent upon the presence of matter. The lat ter will take place across a perfect vacuum. We may receive heat from a stove by all three methods. If we place our hands upon it we receive heat by con duction; if we hold them above it they are warmed by convection, the heat be ing brought to them by the rising cur rent of hot air; if now we stand in front of the store we still feel its warmth, the sensation in this case being pro duced by the heat waves which It emits. These waves are similar to the electric waves used in wireless telegra phy, differing from them only in their length. They bear the same relation to them as the ripples on a mill pond bear to the Atlantic rollers. With the in struments at our disposal at the pres ent time we can measure the length of these waves as accurately as we can measure the length of a table with a footrule, and we can prove that they will pass through a vacuum. a plate of glass or a tank full of liquid air with out losing their ability to warm our hands. We find, however, that if we pass this radiant heat through certain substances-water vapor, for instance -its intensity is diminished owing to the fact that some of the waves have been absorbed. It is possible to deter mine the exact length of the waves of heat which have been removed by ab sorption in the vapor, and if we test the radiation which comes to us from the sun we find that waves of this same length are absent, the water va por in the earth's atmosphere having refused to transmit them. This fact, taken alone, is pretty good evidence that the sun and the hot store- are pouring out the same kind of energy. R. W. Wood in Harper's Weekly. CHINESE PROVERBS.

Hie then addressed. the of fender: "Now, you scoundrel, I've got you In a place where no one can hear, and I'll' just thrash you within an inch of your life!" The servant, though a man of power ful physique, squirmed, native-like. "Sah, you sure no one can hear?" "Yes, you scoundrel; I've brought you here on purpose!" "Then, sah, I think I thrash you!"

MAKING CLAY PIPES.I A BUSINESS ABOUT WHiCH MOST t] PEOPLE KNOW VERY LITTLE. d The Process of Maunfacture Is Not b So Simple as Might Be Imagined .From the Low Price of the Finish ed Product-How They Are 3ade. Among the little things seen in daily s life about which most people know cl very little is the common, ordinary clay pipe. In almost every cigar shop o window, in the mouth of every third " :laborer met and even in the nursery v this snow white little instrument of h comfort and amusement may be seen, a yet few know, for instance, that most n of the clay pipes sold in this city of cl domestic make are manufactured in n New Jersey. Woodbridge is the name al of the queer little town given over to 13 this odd manufacture, and a trip c4 through one of the factories of that settlement, to follow the pipe from the t time it is dug as clay to the time it appears ready for the market, is inter- b; esting. Looking at the chunks and lumps of w clay as they are transported from the c banks to the factories, one would w hardly believe that the snowy, cheap w little article could have been manufac tured from material so different in s< color. The color of this clay before It n is burned is dark gray, like cement; fl nor is the process of manufacturing ti one of these pipes as simple as might 7 be imagined from the absurdly low a: price. As the clay comes into the. fac- j1 tory it is divided finely and put to T soak in water for ten to twelve hours. ; This soaking is to divide the clay to its smallest possible particles so that in the ensuing process it will not cake or lump and will work smoothly and T evenly. This attained, the clay is put into a "pug" mill, where it is stirred by machinery until it gets stiffer and - stiffer, finally becoming as stiff as - dough. In this state the clay is rough- t] ly molded into lumps and distributed li among the pipemakers, who begin the 11 first step in the life of the humble cre- ' ation. Grasping a small chunk of clay in h each hand, the artist begins work to s] rashion roughly two pipes at the same a: time. Rolling the clay between a table f and his palms, he quickly produces t] two carrot shaped and pointed rolls tl that bear little or no resemblance to t( the article when it shall be finished. p With incredible speed the fashioning a f these rolls continues, for ahead of y the expert is the problem of manufac- g uring something like seventy-five o: gross of pipes within the week. Then e: the rolls are put away to dry some- p what, and for ten or twelve hours they t stiffen so that once shaped they will c: not fall readily to pieces. After that the clay is ready for molding. G The ordinary mold consists of two tl pieces of iron hinged on the side and tl pening like a sewing box. Most of the d ittle factories have numerous molds, a Crom the common, unadorned sort that comes in t'to pieces and is intended; fl L'or the ordinary plain pipe to all sorts II af elaborate patterns that come in six c: Dr eight pieces and are made of brass a and intended to fashion piperin imi- a tation of wooden models that happen I to be in vogue. The pipemaker grasps i ane of the shapeless rolls, tilts the fat f end upward, which at once gives the P suggestion of a pipe, and runs a wire ~ through the pointed end, out of which k the stem is to be pressed. t This roughly fashioned clay is then n put into the mold, which is jammed shut, while at the same time a plunger is pressed to enter the mold and to press out the clay so as to form the bowl. With a dull knife the clay C pressed out at the side of the mold is ' shaved off with a single lightning t stroke by the expert, and then once 1 more there must be a drying process, I this time in a room heated to about S55 degrees, where, as before, the pipe is C kept for twelve hours. Except that the i pipe is of its original gray color and soft and suipplied with the "burs"~ I where the molded ends are joined, it now practically finished. Then comes the process of shaving ~ cff the burs. At this stage the pipe still retains considerable dampness, so ~ that the clay may be cut smoothly, ~ while at the same time a wire is again 1 drawn through the stem, so as to in sure proper draft. All is now ready for the pipe in its final state except that t needs to be burned. For this t purpose it is put into a cylindrical yes sel twelve inches high and as much in diameter. This is known as a "sag- 3 ger." Set one against the other, the E pipes are adjusted solidly in the sag ger, which will hold something like a C gross of pipes properly packed. If the pipes consist of the more fancy de- ~ signs-that is, merely pipe bowls that C are to be provided with mouthpieces C of wood or robber-the saggers will ~ hold as many as two gross of pipes. Nine of these saggers filled with pipes are known as a stand, and a medium sized kiln will hold twenty-one stands and will burn them all at the same time. For five hours the heat in the kiln is kept at a moderate tempera- ~ ture. After that it is allowed to run up until at the end of twelve or four- C teen hours it is driven to a white heat.

The trusts are developed by a g.radual concentration of sev eral branches of industries or business, previously conducted by0 several individuals or business concerns, each one in active coin petition with his neighbor: each one trying to please the public in every possible way; by selling at small profits, attending to the wants of the people in an. intelligent manner; knowing his etistomers personally, the merchant can treat them right. Now some people believe that a trust manufacturer or mer cantile concern (or department store as some call it) can compete and sell cheaper than an independent merchant, and there is where they are mistaken, believing the assertion of the trust, that by concentrating maiy branches of business under one managenent their expenses are reduced and they can sell cheaper, but if you consider that fhey have to hire-men and women for everything done and pay for a thousand things NOT DONE, you will find that the man running his own business not having to pay large salaries for managers, clerks, etc., and at tending to every detail himself, can outsell any trust on the face of the earth, and no department store can touch him.

Ice cream freezers have not always been the marvelous machines that. they are today. In former times the freezing of cream, sherbets, water ices, -etc., was accomplished with no end-of labor and expense. so much so that the serving of these delightful dishes was looked upon as quite an event in the family circle, and on many occasions parental authority had to be asserted to keep the younger members of the family within bounds. Today, with cheap ice and persect freezers nothing is more com mon than the serving of frozen dishes which not only appeal to our sense of taste, but the cheapness by which they can be made render them them dessirable. Foremost among the Freezers of today is the "Arctic," which will in from seven to ten minutes freeze to uniform hardness, cream of even graiu and perfect smoothness.
