Louis I. Kessler of Des Moines, Ia., has constructed a steam engine which he believes will work a revolution in the transmission of motive power. The central idea of the Kessler invention is the condensation of the steam automatically, so that the water in the boiler may be used over and over again. Operating in this boiler is a long hollow piston, lacking about a thirty-second of an inch of fitting to the sides of the boiler, thus leaving room for a steam cushion all the way around it and also making it possible for the condensed steam to run down the sides. A rod connected with this piston passes up through the center of another piston. BATH OF THE ORANGE. The Fruit Needs Much Grooming Before It Is Ready For Market. Fresh from the tree an orange is still very much alive, with the oil cells expanded and the mystery of growth not yet suspended. Cut off from the sap supply, a change takes place. The skin draws closer to the pulp and gives off moisture that would cause sweating if the fruit were packed at once. But first these dust stained travelers must have a bath. By the bushel, if only this were the land of the good old bushel basket, the newcomers are dumped into a long, narrow tank of water at one end of which is a big wheel with a tire of soft bristles. The wheel revolves so that the lower edge works in connection with another set of brushes in a smaller tank below, and the oranges, after bobbing about in the big tank, pass between the wet brushes and come out bright and clean. This washer is a neat machine and does away with the more primitive yet picturesque method of hand washing. At some of the smaller packing houses may still be seen groups of women, sometimes white, sometimes brown skinned, each with a tub of water and brush, scrubbing busily away at the yellow piles that never seem to grow less till the last hour of the day. After their bath the oranges are spread out in the sun to dry on long, slanting racks. At the lower end they roll off into boxes, to be carried away to the warehouse for their rest. An orange needs a deal of grooming, it would seem, before it is ready for market. The washing was not enough. There must be a brushing too. And after the days of curing the oranges are fed into a hopper which drops them single file on to a belt that runs between revolving cylindrical brushes, this for a smooth, shiny look.—Los Angeles Herald. How Pleadilly Was Named. It's curious how the names of towns and streets come from something that has been the fashion of the day. Who knows where the word "Pleadilly" originated from, the name of that wonderful street of which it is written that "some make love and some make poetry in Pleadillie?" The street was built by a tailor named Higgins, whose fortune was made in a kind of collar called Piccadel or Pickadill or Piccadille, which was worn by all the beaus of the day. Of course it is not meant that the street as it stands today was built by him, but he erected a few afraid I'm dying unless I have help,' he replied. 'Do you think the surgeons will be around pretty soon?' 'The Lord knows!' I groaned, for the boy's courage touched me to the heart. 'Your surgeons have all run away, and we only have a few, with more wounded than they can attend to.' 'Then I guess all I can do is to lie here quietly and die,' he said in the same gentle voice. 'Can you get me a little water before you go?' "I took his canteen and hurried down to a branch at the foot of the hill, where the first thing I saw, by the way, was the corpse of a zouave floating in a pool. I went up the stream far enough to get out of the horrible death zone, filled the canteen with pure water and was soon back at the boy's side. I gave him a drink, and he thanked me. Is there nothing else I can do?' I asked awkwardly, because I knew our company was under early marching orders that morning and that it would be impossible for me to linger much longer. 'Nothing at all, thank you,' he replied. 'No message to anybody?' 'No; nothing, thanks.' "I turned away most reluctantly and had gone only a few yards when I heard his thin voice calling me back. Excuse me,' he said, 'but I want you to accept this as a present,' and he handed me his fine purple fez. 'No, no,' I exclaimed, greatly embarrassed; 'I couldn't think of taking it. When I started to a little while ago, I thought you—you'—'Thought I was dead, of course,' he interrupted. 'Well, I soon will be, and that other fez will do me just as well.' Please put it on my head and take mine.' I saw that he would be hurt unless I did as he desired, so I took the fez and went away. In less than half an hour our company was on the march, and, needless to say, I never heard anything more of the little child zouave. He was badly wounded and undoubtedly died where THE KESSLER ENGINE. ton which operates in a vacuum cylinder above the boiler and is geared direct to the flywheels. The upper piston fits absolutely air-tight in the vacuum cylinder and is geared to the shaft in the usual crank manner. As the steam piston is forced upward it pushes the upper piston up, leaving a vacuum, which draws it back again, thus giving, in addition to the steam power of from 45 to 60 pounds pressure, the additional 15 pounds pressure of the atmosphere. One of the great advantages claimed for the invention is that, in view of the fact that these two pistons are connected direct to the machinery and there being a great difference in the length of their stroke, the new engine dispenses entirely with the "dead center" principle of all other engines, as one of the pistons begins work before the other ceases. Railway to the Pole. Among the startling engineering suggestions of the day is that of a tube railway to the north pole, not as a commercial venture, but as a scientific solution of a difficult problem regardless of cost. Starting from some point in Greenland, the tunnel would run in a direct line just beneath the surface of the ground and would have stations at certain intervals, with larger ones on the banks of channels or straits, where it would be necessary to build ferryboats and provide for their housing in winter. With the completed line the summer explorer should be able to reach the pole and return in a week. New Use For Liquid Air. A remarkable use of liquid air has come about through Herr Hempel, a German engineer. As is well known, if liquid air is left to evaporate, the incompustible nitrogen evaporates first, leaving behind almost pure oxygen. This liquid oxygen is employed by Herr Hempel to fire low grade fuel, and for this purpose he has constructed a peculiar furnace, under the grates of which the oxygen is led. SPRINKLING WAGONS. The Modern Ones a Big Improvement on the Old Style. The modern sprinkling wagon is very different from the old timer. The chief improvement is in the spray head, which enables the driver to control the flow of water much better than the old style. Thus, whether it is a dirt or a macadam road or a stone paved or asphalted street, there can be supplied from the modern street sprinkler just the amount of water required to lay the dust in it without waste. The spray head on each side has its own valve rod running to the driver's seat, with a step there for the foot. How Piccadilly Was Named. It's curious how the names of towns and streets come from something that has been the fashion of the day. Who knows where the word "Piccadilly" originated from, the name of that wonderful street of which it is written that "some make love and some make poetry in Piccadill." The street was built by a taller named Higgins, whose fortune was made in a kind of collar called Piccadell or Pickadill or Piccadille, which was worn by all the beaus of the day. Of course it is not meant that the street as it stands today was built by him, but he erected a few houses to which he gave the name the street now bears. A Thoroughbred. Don't be a thoroughbred. A thoroughbred is well enough in cattle and hogs, but very disgusting among men. for the reason that among men a thoroughbred means a man who devotes too much time to having fun, to being a good fellow. Make a specialty of reliability, industry, fairness. Make your specialty a worthy one. Instead of seeing how late you can stay out at night go to bed at regular hours. Sleep will do you more good than a good time. There is no better man than the good citizen, the good husband, the good father, the good son. A thoroughbred is never noted in these directions. Atchison Globe. Made a Bad Matter Worse. The honeymoon was over, and they were comfortably settled in their snug little home. The husband, returning from business, was grieved to find his little wife crying bitterly. "Oh, George," she sobbed, "a dreadful thing has happened! I had made you a beautiful plea all by myself, and Fido went and ate it." "Well, never mind, my dear," he said cheerfully. "We can easily afford another dog."—Exchange. AFTER THE BATTLE. A VETERAN'S STORY OF A TASSELED TURKISH FEZ. The Grewsome Incident In Which He Participated at the Second Battle of Manassas: A Brave Boy and His Dying Request. "Whenever I see a tasseled Turkish fez," said a Confederate veteran whose attention had been attracted by a smoking cap of that pattern in a Canal street window, "I am reminded of a curious and rather grewsome incident of my campaigning days. It was on the morning after the second battle of Manassas," he continued in response to request for the story. "and several of us from my company had gone over to be field in the hope of pleking up a new things that we badly needed and or which the dead had no further use—waterproofs, for instance, and sound anteens. "During the previous day's engagement you may remember that a regiment of freshly recruited New York couaves held the crest of a bill and were charged and almost annihilated by Hood's brigade. They were mowed down like ripened grain and fell so thickly that their corpses literally carried this as a present; and he handed me his fine purple fez. 'No, no,' I exclaimed, greatly embarrassed; 'I couldn't think of taking it. When I started to a little while ago, I thought you—you'—"Thought I was dead, of course," he interrupted. 'Well, I soon will be, and that other fez will do me just as well. Please put it on my head and take mine.' I saw that he would be burt unless I did as he desired, so I took the fez a long time." added the veteran. "but it was finally lost, with other odds and ends, in the general confusion following the war. I'd give some money for it today."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Good Effects of Apple Eating. The apple is such common fruit that few are familiar with its remarkable efficacious properties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the night. The apple is an excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than any other vegetable known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That is not all. The apple agglutinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretions and is one of the best preventives known of diseases of the throat—Journal of Agriculture. The Opal Superstition. There is one superstition of wide range and influence that is directed against one of the most beautiful objects in nature, the opal. A man in my town failed in business, and what do you think he did? Took his opal ring into the yard and smashed it to pieces with a hammer! He ascribed his bankrupttion to that opal, and he intended neither to suffer such misfortune again nor to allow any other one to do so by inheriting or buying that ill starred property. The Law Of health has no uniformed guardians of its peace. If it had there would be arrests innumerable in every restaurant every day of the year. Both in quantity and quality of the food they eat and in the manner of its consumption men and women sin each day against the laws of health. Those who will not heed Nature's warnings cannot escape her punishments, and dyspepsia or stomach trouble is in invariable penalty of careless eating. There is no other medicine for diseases of the stomach and allied organs of di- The modern sprinkling wagon is very different from the old timer. The chief improvement in it is in the spray head, which enables the driver to control the flow of water much better than the old style. Thus, whether it is a dirt or a macadam road or a stone paved or asphalted street, there can be supplied from the modern street sprinkler just the amount of water required to lay the dust in it without waste. The spray head on each side has its own valve rod running to the driver's seat, with a step there for the foot. The driver can operate both heads at once, or he can run only one head. He can shut off one or open either one at pleasure. With this sort of wagon the expert driver leaves behind him dry crosswalks with perfectly defined limits, and when he comes to a carriage or a street car upon which he doesn't want to throw water he shuts off the flow on that side and keeps the other going. Sprinkling wagons are made in various sizes, ranging from 150 gallons to 1,000 gallons capacity. There are 20 sprinkling wagons sold in this country nowadays where there were was one sold only a few years ago. This great increase in their use is due in large measure to sanitary reasons, to the great extension of good roads and to the common desire for comfort. Sprinkling wagons are used nowadays commonly in many smaller towns and villages where they were never thought of some years ago. And American sprinkling wagons are now found all over the world wherever sprinkling wagons are used. They are exported to Australia, Cuba, Porto Rico, South America, South Africa and Europe. The modern sprinkling wagon that the traveler chances to see in Paris or Berlin or Hamburg came very likely from the same factory as the one he saw here before he left home going through his own home street.—New York Sun.

Y. 4p During the previous day's engagement you may remember that a regiment of freely recruited New York squares held the crest of a hill and were charged and almost annihilated by Hood's brigade. They were mowed down like ripened grain and fell so quickly that their corpses literally carried the earth. I dare say it was awful a slaughter, considering the number engaged, as occurred anywhere in the course of the war. "Well, we hadn't gone very far when we came to this hill and began to get among the dead men. The poor fellows had been mustered into service less than a week before, and they were said to be the most gorgeously uniformed military troop ever organized. They wore scarlet Turkish trousers, blue jackets embroidered with gold bullion braid and purple fezes with long pendant tassels. "Being just from the outfitters, all this fine regalia was perfectly fresh and new, and somehow or other it added to the ghastliness of the spectacle on the hillside. The corpses were in all sorts of strange postures, and their fantastic costumes gave them an air of horrible grotesqueness that I couldn't begin to describe in words. "However, to come to my point, I had picked up a fez to carry away as a relic and was about to leave the spot when I happened to notice a much handsomer specimen on the head of a little zouave stretched out, stiff and stark, a few yards away, with a handkerchief over his face. I stepped up to make a 'swap,' but had barely touched the tassel when a low, sweet toned voice under the handkerchief said, 'Please don't!' "For a moment," continued the veteran, "that unpleasant protest, coming from what I had supposed to be a corpse, made my hair bristle on my head. Then I lifted the handkerchief and was shocked to see the delicate refined features of a boy not over 15. He was pale as death and evidently desperately wounded, but he looked at me calmly. 'My God,' I exclaimed, 'what a lad you are to be here!' I'm body into vigorous health." "I took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for stomach trouble," writes Clarence Carrane, M.D., of Taylorstown, Loudoun Co., Va. "It did me so much good that I didn't take any more. I can eat most anything now. I am so well pleased with it I hardly know how to thank you for your kind information. I tried a whole lot of things before I wrote to you." There was a gentleman told me about your medicine, how it had cured his wife. I thought I would try a bottle of K., I am glad I did, for I don't know what I would have done if it had not been for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery."

"Tis writ, 'Mortal, thy life is but a span.' And yet I feel that air and earth and sky Are ever mine, even forevermore That I and mine can never, never die. And yet I know, how well, how well I know, That in the future somewhere hidden lies A day, the day of days, which has for me A moment supreme, when I shall close my eyes To open them on this my world no more, When friends will fold my hands upon my breast And sadly say: 'Dear soul, her work is done. Let us now lay her gently to her rest." Springtime with bud and bloom will come and go; The busy world will still rush madly on; The earth and air and sky will be for those Who will not know that I have come and gone—Dr. Grace Peckham Murray in Harper's Bazar. NAVAL FOOD STORES. WHAT "JACKY" GETS TO EAT IN UNCLE SAM'S SERVICE. The American Navy Is Better Fed Than Any Other Navy In the World. What It Costs the Officers to Run the Wardroom Mess. The United States government gives its sailors only 30 cents a day each to live on, but the American navy is better fed than any other navy in the world. In fact, "jacky" lives better than the average mechanic on shore. As the appetite of a seafaring man cannot be appeased by angel food the provisions are of the most substantial kind. All naval vessels are liable to be sent on long voyages or to be stationed where markets are inaccessible, and the stores purchased for the crew must be such as will keep for a long time and not become damaged by changes of climate. Naturally salt pork, corned beef, hard tack, beans, flour, sugar, canned fruits and vegetables are carried in large quantities and must of necessity constitute the main part of the daily rations. With these staples as a basis many appetizing combinations can be made. At sea fresh meat and vegetables are not to be bad, but while in port or within reach of a market the navy regulations require the issuance on certain days of these desirable additions to the food supply. In the olden days no fresh meat was included in the navy ration, and "jacky" was compelled to subsist largely on corned beef, known in the sailor vernacular as "salt horse," owing to the fact that some unscrupulous contractor at one time long ago passed off horses flesh for beef in a navy supply. The barrel in drought and alkali than wheat. It made good hay and would be profitable for either hay or chicken feed. Professor Shinn considers this an acquisition to California, better than the "Golden" or any other of the older varieties of millet grown in that State. An improved variety of wild furze, having a somewhat irregular pyramidal shape and with less rigid spines than the wild form, has proved a remarkable plant in its resistance to alkali and drought. It may, under further trials, be developed into a good range forage plant in the drier portions of California.—Year Book of the Department of Agriculture. President McKinley's Eloquence.

"Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earth." Irrigation Trouble. For a year farmers of Yolo county have been clamoring for increased irrigation facilities. The late Robert Moore put such restrictions on the Moore ditch property that it was a difficult matter for the trustees to meet this demand. Last April prominent business men and farmers of the county began negotiations with a view to purchasing the property. About the same time T. L. Reed of Fresno, an oil operator, made a proposal to purchase all the water rights and ditch interests of the property, as well as the rights of all other systems, and organize a system of irrigation that would embrace all the irrigable land in the county. All interests signed an agreement to sell, which included an option which STRUCK DOWN. Slain in the Hour of Success The Indian who trailed the hunter silently and secretly through the woods, often played with his victim as a cat plays with a mouse. Just in the moment of the hunter's success, the blow fell; silent, sudden, swift. There are certain forms of disease which seem inhumanly malevolent. Like the Indian they seem to play with the victim, until some day when he has reached the height of success and is thinking to "take life easy," disease strikes him down, perhaps never to rise again, or may hypothetically drag out the remainder of existence in physical pain and privation. The best example of such a malevolent disease is found in dyspepsia and allied forms of "stomach trouble." Not long after the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the nutritive properties are not extracted from food, the blood becomes poor, the body lacks adequate nourishment and the flesh "falls away." The weakness consequent on this loss of nutrition will generally find its expression in some one organ which has been longest starved. Thus as starvation causes weakness, when the nutrition falls short of the needs of the body we may look for the expression of that weakness in some one organ—lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, or any other vital organ of the body. When the diseased stomach is cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, then the diseases of other organs which originated in the disease of the stomach are cured also. WHAT PEOPLE SAY. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and Dr. Sage's Catarrch Remedy have been of great benefit to me," writes (Prof.) Pleasant A. Oliver, of Viola, Fulton Co., Ark. "Before I used the above mentioned remedies my sleep was not sound; digestion bad; a continual feeling of misery. I now feel like a new man." "I have been taking your medicines," writes Mrs. W. M. Bowers, of Lynch, Boyd Co., Neb., and I can't say enough in their praise. They have helped me more than all our doctors have helped me in two years' doctoring. I spent dollars upon dollars for my lungs and received no benefit from the medicine I took, until a lady friend advised me to write to Dr. Pierce. I did so, took his kind advice, and am now so well as to be able to do my own work. I also took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and the 'Pellets' six months for liver disease and indigestion, as the A Kentneky Suspicion.

New Clerk—That young lady in front wants to look at some rings exactly like she has on. Says she is thinking of purchasing a duplicate for her sister. Old Jeweler—Huh! You needn't waste any time on her. The ring she has is an engagement ring, and she merely wants to find out what it cost.—Chicago News. ago the newspapers were calling attention to one of the richest men of the age working in his garden like a common laborer for his health's sake and for the same cause living abstemiously on a diet which a laborer would despise. There's a conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost failure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, no man can absolutely say. Stomach "failure" means heart failure, the failure of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other organ, inasmuch as each and every organ of the body is dependent on the stomach for its nutrition and therefore for its vitality. For this reason no vital statistics can ever give the number of those who fall victims to disease of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, because the cause of their decease is charged to other organs diseased through the stomach. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? Is it "weak" lungs, "weak" heart, kidney "trouble," liver "trouble" or disease of any other organ? You will find that in general, if you trace the disease back it originates in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. The best proof of this is that diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly being cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which is primarily and chiefly a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and of the blood. The body and all its organs are sustained by food, properly digested and assimilated, which when converted into blood forms the nutrition by which physical life is renewed day by day, and meal by meal. Golden Medical Discovery has cured me of a pain in my right lung that the best doctors could not help. My appetite and digestion have improved so that I can eat anything at all, and I feel better than I have for years. My pain is all gone and I feel like a new person." "I am glad to testify to the benefits derived from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Miss Mary Belle Summerton, of San Diego, Duval Co., Texas. "I was troubled with very frequent headaches, often accompanied by severe vomiting; bowels were irregular and my stomach and liver seemed continually out of order. Often I could eat almost nothing, and sometimes absolutely nothing, for twenty-four hours at a time. I was entirely unfit for work, and my whole system seemed so run-down that I feared a severe sick spell, and was very much discouraged. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and did so with such satisfactory results that before finishing the third bottle I felt perfectly able to undertake the duties attending public school life, and contracted to do so."

Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Delaware Capital Stock $400,000 Authorized Issue. Par value $1 per share. "May carry on any business except banking in any part of the world." The mines and mining claims are: The Old Shoes, The Red Bug, The Patsy Bolivar, The Harmony, the Standard, the Central (one half), The Polka Dot, The Bull's Eye, The Full Moon, The Half Moon, The Meteor, the Colined Money, The Fellowship, The Little Giant, The Lookout, The Jason, The Blackhawk, The Lone Star, The Lucky Boy and Sixteen to One. There is also the undivided one-tenth of the Good Hope group of mines and claims, twelve in number. Values in ores are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some blismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore of that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface croppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which on assay gave gold value per ton of rock in place, $614. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet ... $856 Six feet ... 1714 4764 1954 3206 Eight feet ... 1240 Twelve feet ... 2250 1445 Twenty-eight feet ... 1665 Fifty-seven feet ... 1262 2619 Seventy-two ft.(v. in figs.) ... 2062 Three Sections-1 ... 850 2 ... 1991 3 ... 2345 Seventy-six feet ... 5982 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as outcroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes vein outcropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of the rock in place, as exposed by the veins' outcroppings. The results having been obtained from eightteen mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample. It is plainly apparent that all of these claims will justify good development in search for the high-grade ore shoots of the vein. Work has been resumed and is now in progress on these properties.

Subterranean Stream. An underground river was discovered near Safford, A. T., recently, which may perform miracles in the line of irrigation and the reclamation of arid lands. It has been watched closely since the discovery, and irrigators say it will result in the reclamation of a great desert. A year ago persons in that section heard a roar of water, but attributed it to rain in the mountains. Recently a man named Stafford, a Government surveyor, made the find of the subterranean current. He began examining caves, and found one that seemed to go down into the bowels of the earth. Following it for some distance he discovered a stream of pure water, 40 feet in width and 10 in depth. The incline of the bed was considerable, and the stream carried a great volume. Stafford filed on the land, and determined by further investigation that the water can be brought to the surface by its own weight, according to the laws which govern artesian flows. The people of Safford are worked up over the discovery, and many have made entries on land which it is believed can be watered by the underground river. There are 20,000 acres of cultivable land lying below the stream which Stafford says can be watered in a liberal manner at small cost. It will cost a few thousand dollars to raise the water to the surface, and when this is accomplished the supply will be great enough to irrigate 100,000 acres by the perennial flow. Further down the Gila valley is another expanse of level land where surplus water can be utilized. The valley is an extremely fertile one, occupied mostly by Mormons and their families. Large areas of land are under cultivation, and considerable artesian water has been developed.
