Y A bis aan CURE. | How Patients at the Minneapolis Keeley Institute Pass Their Time. Patients of the Minneapolis Keeley Institute describe their stay of four weeks as being the most pleasant as well as the most: profitable vacation they ever took, There are always from twenty to fifty \bright, intellectual men undergoing treatment. at the Institute. and they pass the time away in protit- able conversation, reading the books in the extensive library, playing cro- quet on the lawn, or, if the weather be inclement, play cards in the club room. ‘The club room is a large, roomy, airy place, in which is the library, a piano and seyeral tables for card playing. On toe walls are interesting pictures, photographs, ete., The rising bell “is rung at a quarter to seven o'clock, and the first dose of internal remedy is taken. At 7:30 the brea st bell rings, and at 8 o’clock the first hypodermic treatment is giv- en. These hypodermic treatments are given four times a day; at 8 a. m., 12 noon, 5 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. The in- ter remedy is taken every two hours until 9 p. m. Patients are not allowed to use to- bacco within fifteen minutes before or after the hypodermic treatments. Ci- tte smoking is not permitted un- any circumstances. If the patient rettes, he is given a 1 course at the same time, with- lditional expense, and is cured. ient desires to be cured of the © addiction, smoking or chewing or both, this is done readily without any additional cha During the first ten days of the treat- ment the patient must remain on the Institute grounds, without leaving them, but after the ten days he is per: mitted to leave the Institute at cer- tain periods between the hours of the hypodermic treatment; and as many possess bicycles or n borrow them of other patients, they can e advant- age of the fine bicycle paths of Minne- apolis.

More Light at Less Cost—Taking Med!- cine Regulaily — How ‘Transparent Paper Is Made—Electrical Hair-Dress- ing Machines—Scientific Jottings. How ‘Transparent Paper Is Made. The making of high-class trans- parent paper has become a fine art, especially in Germany, and experts ad- mit that the most translucent of blues will always be -that of Berlin. For purple, madder purple is found to be the most reliable, but possesses little gloss. Luminous effects are obtainable with the assistance of aniline colors, these being, however, only of little permanence in transparencies. Light transparent green is hardly available. Recourse has to be taken to mixing Berlin blue with yellow lake or red sienna. Green chromis oxide may be used if its sober, cool tone has no dis- turbing influence. Almost all brown coloring bodies give transparent col- ors, but the most useful are.found to be the madder lakes and burnt umber. Gray is produced by mixing purple- tone colors with suitable brown, but a gray color rarely occurs in transparent prints. xiquid siccative has always to be added to the colors, too much time being otherwise ‘required by the dry- ing; after the latter has been accom- plished, the paper is varnished on both sides, for which purpose a well-cover- ing, quickly drying, colorless, and not too thick varnish has to be used, the most important requisite of this article being a sufficient elasticity to insure against cracking or breaking when bent. Electrical Hair-Dressing Machines, The French are said to be equipping their shaving and hair-cutting saloons with complete sets of electrical appli- ances, In a Paris shop, recently fitted up, hot water is obtained by passing the stream of a hydrant through a German-silver tube in a soapstone ease. The tubing is electrically heat- ed, so that the water is nearly boil- ing when it passes out of the spigot. The old heating-irons, which often burned the hair, are no longer used for curling. The electric curling irons which have taken their place are safe and sure, as they can be brought to any temperature, which they will re- tain indefinitely. Scissors are out of date, and the cutting of hair is now done by clipping machines, the speed of which can be regulated to a nicety by the operator. Where it is desired to singe the hair, the clipping machine gives place to the electrically-heated platinum wire, which is passed across the teeth of a metallic comb. The comb takes up a certain quantity of the hair, holding it for an instant; the barber’s man presses a tiny button at the end of the comb, and there is an influx of current which heats the wire. As the wire approaches red heat the hair is burned off neatly and smoothly, and its ends are sealed up in the most approved fashion, Telephone Superseding Telegraph. The New York, New Haven & Hart- ford railroad is equipping its system with a telephone service, by which it will be possible to do away with the telegraph service, if necessary. Offi- cials of the road say that the service is intended only as an auxiliary system to the telegraph. It is claimed that the new method will effect a saving of 40 per cent. Taking Medicine Regularly. The advantage of regularity in tak- ing medicine is said by physicians to be of as great importance as the drugs themselves, but where this matter is necessarily left to persons whose at- tention is distracted by other duties, the administration of the medicine is often temporarily neglected or forgot- ten. Then again the hours for taking the draught are forgotten entirely. The professional nurse is supplied with blanks on which records of the case are kept, and any oversight of this kind is precluded. As indicating label for medicine bottles has been patented by Frederick W. Bates of Minneapo- Fe " ii f aN IG lis, which entirely eliminates the ele- ment of danger of mistake, and at the same time presents a permanent rec- ord for the inspection of the physician, showing just how many doses and at what time the medicine was taken. The label is much the same as those now in use, except for the addition of a row of figures from 1 to 12, indicating the hours of the day with small blank spaces above or below each figure. The upper row of spaces is for the morning hours, and the other for afternoon or evenings. At each time a dose is ad- ministered a check is made of it in tne space opposite the proper hour, so that only a glance at the bottle is neces- sary to show when the next dose should be taken. When the spaces are filled, the marks may be rubbed off with an eraser. In one form of this device, a row of perforations permits this part of the label to be torn off apd another substituted, Latest News of Mar+ Although the planet Mars was not favorably situated for observation dur- ing its opposition in the early part of this year, yet some of its mysterious phenomena were again beheld. Mr. Stanley Williams, the English astron- omer, reports that many of the “canals” were visible, and that several of them appeared “double.” The “Ni- losyrtis,” the largest and most promi- nent canal on Mars, was curiously faint in March, very irregular in both width and darkness, and perhaps ac- tually interrupted in places. On the night of March 15, Mr. Williams saw, south of the dark streak surrounding the northern snow-cap, a bright spot which he thinks may have been caused by clouds, More Light at Less Cost. The new electric lamp shown in the cut forms the subject of a patent re- cently issued, for which is claimed in- creased luminosity at a minimum cost. In the design the carbon, instead of being.simply a loop, is made to coil around a vertical tube in the center of the bulb. This tube is made of a spe- cial reflecting composition and is said to give to the lamp a much greater illuminating power in addition to that obtained by the peculiar form of the filament at an economy, it is claimed, of 40 to 50 per cent of the curren’ used. American Diamonds. Occasionally small diamonds have been found among the ridges of gravel brought down from the north in the age of the glaciers and scattered over the states bordering on the great lakes. Prof. Hobbs of the University of Wi: consin thinks that these diamonds came from some place in Canada, and that by tracing back the lines of ad- vance of the glaciers the original lo- cation of the gems may be discovered. An effort to carry out Prof. Hobbs’ suggestion is to be made, and Prof, H. L. Fairchild cf the University of Rochester, Prof. I. C. Russell of the University of Michigan, Prof. J. P. Iddings of the Uni- versity of Chicago, and Prof. 0, C, Farrington of the Field Columbian museum will co-operate by examining without charge, suspected gems found by persons living near the glacia) moraines. Telephonic Fences. In Kansas the farmers are tilizing wire fences for telephone lines. It is found that the wires are sufficientiy insulated by the wooden posts to carry electric currents without perceptible loss. From the nearest telegraph sta- tion, at Liberal, fence telephone lines have been run all over Seward coun- ty, as well as into the adjoining coun- ties of Morton and Stevens, and acros? into Oklahoma and Texas. Scientific Jottings. A railway will be built up the Rax Alp, which is 6,400 feet high. The figures given in the London Coal and Iron Trades Review show that of the world’s pig-iron product of 1893 78% per cent was converted into steel. In 1868 only 4 per cent of the world’s pig-iron product was applied to the manufacture of steel. Members of the engineering corps of the United States army have cleared the Pasig river of a number of stone- laden canoes which were sunk to close the channel. The total value of the property recovered by the engineers is estimated at $750,000. Maps and topo- graphical sketches of the country around Manila were made for the use of the army commanders, and the sur- veys were frequently made under fire. A waterfall on the Platte river, west of Fremont, Neb., will probably be utilized to transmit power to Omaha, thirty-five miles distant. The water- fall is 130 feet high and is sufficient to operate a 25,000 horse power electric plant. It is proposed to make a canal having a grade of one foot per mile along the base of the ridge, which runs parallel with the river for some dis- tance. The construction of tae canal and reservoir will entail an expense of about $2,000,000. Statistics obtained by sunshine re- corders are interesting. Some curiou3 facts have been recently published by the French meteorologital bureau at Paris. Spain has 3,000 hours of sun- shine a year; Italy, 2,700; France,2.600; Germany has 1,700, while England has but 1,400. The average fall of rain in the latter country is greater than that in any other European country. In the northern part, and on the high plateau of Scotland about 351 inches of rain fall a year, and London is said to have an average of 178 rainy days in the year and fully ten times the quan- tity of rain that falls on Paris, C WITH A TAIL!

Tenderloin Cabman Showed that Ee , Had a Good Heart. There was a little touch of nature, just one of those faint little things that crop out once in a while in even the most hardened, but it showed that “One Wing” loved the horse that had made money for him. “One Wing’s” other name is Warren, and for years he has been a Tenderloin hackman. His fellow’s nicknamed him he has but one arm. s usual, early yesterday morning he was at h's old stand at Thirtieth street and Sixth avenue. The old horse that for ten years had dragged the ancient cab, which was but recent- ly supplanted® by a smart Victoria, was crunching his oats. Four well dressed pleasure-seekers came along and leaped into the Victo- r “Drive us to Forty-fourth commanded one. “One Wing” was at the horse’s heaq, and in an instant the feed-bag was off, and the next second he was on the box. ‘Get up, Bill!’ he shouted to the horse. The animal turned, then his frame shook, and he collapse: and fell. The quartet leaped out, and after making ribald jests at the animal's ex- pense, wandered off. A veterinary surgeon was sum- moned, lcoked at the animal and an- He nounced: ean’t live.” Then ‘he other side of ‘One Win nature showed itself. “He won't suffer long. He’s been too good a friend of mine,” he said. “If he’s got to die, I want him to die pain- less.”” Then he hurried to the Thirtieth street station and got a policeman, who soon ended the horse’s sufferings. Then ‘One Wing” went off to drown his sorrows.—New York Telegraph. , Spinal menengitis.

One day, he says, I was sit- ting in my study in Londo, when sud- denly a gentleman appeared at the door, unannounced, followed by two schoolboys. “Is this Rudyard Kipling?” inquired the gentleman. “Yes,” I answered, He turned around. “Boys, this is Rudyard Kipling.” “And this is where you write?” he continued. “Yes,” I replied. “Tcys, this is where he writes.” And before I had time to ask them to take a seat they were gone, boys and all.
