Aa IiUroemeut In Pulleys.
An Important Improvement has been
made In the covering of pulleys, by
which it I claimed tO per rent, more
power can lie tmiuuiilttcd, and all
lipping is reduced to an Imperceptible
factor. This system c6mpritMa tho fol
lowing points: It consist in the em
ploynient of a upocially prepared leather
covering for the pulley, which Is el
tremely soft and eluMlo and never
glazes by the rubbing action of the
belt, as is tho case when ordinary
leather Is employed for this purpose.
It is applied to the pulley and held
firmly to It for all time bv means of a
special cement, which is soft said never
Hardens like ordinary cement or glue.
No rivets of any kind are employed, but
the leather covering Is firmly attached
to the iron of the pulley by the cement
alone. New Orleans Picayune.

Producing Furl with Water.
A coal washing plant has boon erect
ed nt a colliery in Yorkshire, England.
The plant has a capacity of 400 tons
per day, but has dealt with 500 tons by
tho wet process. The system adopted
is carefully sizing the smudge and auto
matically washing and rewashing after
crushing tho various sizes. The plant
driven by a 100 horse power steam
engino, nnd the water used In the proc
ess of washing is circulated by means
of a powerful contrifugid pump which,
when in full work, circulates nearly
Ave tons of water per minute. The ob
ject in erecting this plant was to pro
duce a high class coke out of a mixture
of very dirty hard and soft smudge.
The coke produced Is of uniform qua!
ity, and the ash in tho coke is steadily
kept below 4 per cent. Besides the
preparation of the smudge for the coke
ovens a quantity of small peat suitable
for fuel is produced by Uie washer.

Naked Children.
Fully three-fourths of the babies of
the world go naked until they get to
be five or six years old. The Canadian
Indians keep their babies nuked up to
a certain point, and as for the little
Coreans, they wear nothing but a short
shirt until they are as old as our school
boys. Littlo F.gyptians of both sexes
trot around without any clothes on,
and tho poorer portions of the Chinese
children are often without clothes. I
have scon quite large boys and girls
naked in Havana, Cuba, and in south
ern California, or rather on the Call
fornian peninsula. Sheffield Tele

It is now demonstrated that the
nerves of lower animals may be success-
hilly transplanted to the nerve stumps
of man. Dr. Redart successfully graft

years old. Dr. fiartciis succeeded in
grafting the tduu of a dead man 70
years old to that of a boy 14 years old.
One of the best qualities of shaving
bnudics is made out of the hair of
badgers, and the business of catching
them is still no active, in spite of their
comparative scarcity, that upward of

"Behold me!" laughed a recent bride
returned from her wcd.ling trip nnd
hnsv establishing herself in her new
homo, ns an intimate friend came in
tinnn her. "jmoii" hit tea balls." The
friend echoed the laugll wnen Biie looneu
about From chandelier, candelabra
and cornice, on cabinet, easel nnd lamp,
hung by their slender chains these per
forated globe of silver; they swung
from picture frames, glistened in cur
tuin folds, twinkled among the brasses
of tho hearth, occupied on all sides un
usual niches, where in a spirit of jest
their embarrassed owner had placed
them.
"I don't know," she said, "what could
have developed this remarkable unan
imity of purpose on the part of my
friends, but when the wedding gifts be
gan to arrive, it simply rained tea balls.
I was delighted with the hrst, contented
with the second, not so well pleased with
the third, sorry nt the fourth, angry nt
the fifth, sixth nnd seventh, amazed up
to the twelfth, and paralyzed after that.
What, my dearest girl," Bhe finished
tragically, "am I to do with twenty
three tea balls, by actual count?"
Which points a moral concerning wed
ding gifts. A casual acquaintance, a
man especially, shopping with generous
intentions toward a coining bride, will
be wise to select nothing of which but
one only is needed in a household.
There are so many othor things choice
ought not to be difficult. A piece of
Wedgwood, Doulton or royal Berlin; a
bit of bronze, marblo, brass or the French
and Vienneso gilt; na etching, a rug, nn
artistic screen or piece of tapestry these
are only tho beginning of the list of
things which aro prized by the maker of
a home and of which too many can
hardly be possessed. There is nn aromn
of taste, too, ubout wedding gifts that
is too often offended. The more formal
friends should offer articles of odorn
ment and decoration rather than of pro
nounced utility. Relatives nnd inti
