STORAGE BATTERIES.
Sale Han Become a Regular Kuilnew
In the Kant.
For some time electricity has been
•ellinK iu cans like milk iu the streets
of New York. There is one company
which makes a specialty of furnishing
storage batteries to hotels, small fac
tories, mercantile houses and other es
tablishments where n little power is
needed, and not enough to Justify the
Investment of money in a plant. To
these storage batteries are delivered
every morning. Some of them are as
small as a cigar box, others are as
large as the cylinder of a soda-water
fountain.
This method of securing power Is so
popular and economical that it will not
be long lie fore electricity delivery
wagons will bens common in the streets
as the milk wagons are now. One
company at present has eighteen wag
ons on the street. They load every
morning at the factory and start out
on their various routes. As the driver
hauls up at the door of a customer
he rings the bell and leaves the 1k>x
on the steps or in the area, where he
finds an empty Jar, of which the con
tents were used the day before. In
some of the hotels the lighting appa
ratus is supplhsl by this method, but
It is not so economical as a connection
with the regular wires. Some dress- I
makers have small storage batteries
attached to their sewing machines, and
buy one-tenth or one fifteenth of a
horse power a day. Surgeons and oth
er professional men find various uses
Wor storage batteries in their offices par-
those who give the electricity
treatment for rheumatism and other j
diseases. The company I speak of lias
six wagons engaged in supplying pro- j
fessioual men exclusively—principally
doctors and dentists.
The dentists use the portable bat- '
teries with small motors to run ma
chines for cleaning the teeth and for
drilling holes iu the molars of their pa- J
tients. Surgeons often carry about in
their cases small lights charged from
portable batteries. These lights are
useful iu examining the throats of
their patients. Orders for vest pocket
batteries are frequently received from
vaudeville performers and actors in
comic operas, who use them for spec- ,
tacular effects. They make Christmas
trees sparkle and phonographs talk. 1
and automatic pianos play. They illu
minate tlie tallies at dinner parties and
receptions and add brilliancy to the
decorations of balls and weddings.
There were ninety storage batteries
used at the wedding reception of Miss
Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlbor
ough. and at the French mask hall last
winter the pocket batteries were so
common that they attracted little at
tention. In the summer one of the
greatest markets for canned electricity
is in supplying launches on the rivers
and lakes surrounding New York.
Some country residences have a stor
age battery shipped down to them ev
ery day from tin* city, and an even
more extensive trade in small bat
teries is from the bicycle riders, who
find thorn more convenient than oil to
light their lamps. On the boulevards
in New York and Brooklyn and other
highways much patronized by bicycle
riders there are shops where storage
| batteries may l>e renewed in case they
" give out.—Chicago Record.

New Use# of Aluminum.
The use of aluminum In the arts does not
grow In proportion "to the reduction In the
cost of the material. A few years ago the
price of the metal waa from S10 to S15 a
pound. It Is now sold at 32 cents a pound.
At that price It Is now cheaper than copper
or brass for the same purposes, because for
a given strength the weight Is much less.
Tho Chicago Journal of Commerce says the
consumption of these metals In 1890 was:
Copper, 150.000 tons: brass. OO.(NX) tons, al
uminum. 050 tons. The producers of alum
inum. In order to make a market for the
metal, have been obliged to discover nearly
nil Its uses. Invent methods of handling It.
and build the works for turning out the
finished products. Thus far It has nearly
displaced nickel In the arts, and It bids fair
to eventually displace brass for most pur
poses, except where exposed to n heat of
over 300 degrees. It is largely used for
cooking utensils and keens bright. It Is
used In laboratories, and for the hnadles of
Hiirgicnl Instruments, not only for Its light
ness, but because It Is not affected by the
antiseptics used. Dentists use It for plates
for false teeth, and It has been used to re
place a broken Jaw. One of Its latest uses
Is for lithographic plates. Instead of stones,
cheapening the process. In electric appa
ratus It is cheap oil account of Its non
magnetic quality. In Europe It is being
used to reduce the weight of mllltnry ac
coutrements—canteens, buttons, belt plates
und the like being made of It. The intlcl
pated output In 1898 Is 2,000 tons, and Iu
1000 10,000 tons.
WASHING A FINK ART.
“Ever since spinning was u type of

been expectod that beautiful apparel should

Aspasin to the rich dresses of Elizabeth,

And all day long be

Is certainly a riddle.
Three tigers, gaunt and ravenous,
Camo from the gloomy wood,
Intent to slay the fiddler.
Hut his music was too good:
So round übout him once they filed.
Till, by the melody beguiled,
They sat them softly down and smiled,
As only tigers could.
And thus beguiled, those tigers smiled
Throughout the livelong day,
Until, at length, there was not left
Another tunc to play.

What happened then I do not know,
I was not there to see;
But when a man runs short on tunes.
Can tiger be appeased with prunes,
Or marmalade and silver spoons?
That’s what perplexes me.

DRINKING IN MANY AGES.
An Interesting Lecture on the llUtor>
of Alcohol.
A lecturer who was speaking on
“The History of Alcohol” began by ex
plaining the universal prevalence of
stimulants or narcotic drugs as show
ing the universal craving of mankind
for something to hide the trials and
troubles of life. He spoke briefly
about the early beverages of the an
cient Hindoos and Chlnesp, and then
illustrated the drinking habit of the
ancient Egyptians with a curious col
lection of lantern slides. Tho habits
and customs of ancient Greece came
next, and the worship of the great god
Dionysus, or Bacchus, was illustrate!
by some splendid photographs of vase..,
statues and bas-reliefs. Their wine
was drunk diluted, never stronger than
half water and frequently with two,
four and even fifteen parts of the
milder fluid. Mention was made of the
curious nature of their wines, the ad
mixture of honey and spices, of resin
and turpentine, even salt water, and
the question of fermented and unfer
mented wines among them and the
ancient Hebrews. The use of wine
among the more hardy and less civi
lized Macedonians was less refined and
the exploits of Philip and his son Alex
ander rivaled the tales told by the most
ardent prohibitionists. At the feast

credited with fourteen quarts of wine,
died In three days’ time from the ef
fects of his debauch, along with some
fifty of his competitors. Early Rome
was described as painfully temperate,
especially for the fair sex, who were
sentenced to death for touching wine.
It was sad to hear that kissing on the
mouth was invented by the Roman
husband to test his wife’s abstinence
from the wine cask. Later, however,
after Greece and the east were con
quered, wine flowed freely and tho ear
ly republicans vied with the subjects
of the early emperors in gross and un
bridled drunkenness. The capacity of

such having been a simple draught of
his. New England came in for a touch
by the lecturer. It was somewhat sur
prising to hear that, in the first caM
for supplies sent home, by the Ply
mouth hay colonists, the famous appeal
headed by “ministers.” there were,
along with the requests for barley, rye.
and wheat for seed, and stores of fruit
trees, a petition for “vync planters”
and for "hop-rootes.” The minister.
Mr. Higginson, was duly sent In IG2. C .
and his ship was furnished with "forty
five tuns beere, two tuns canaric.
twenty gallons aqua vitae” and only
six tons of water. The lecture closed
with a short description of the last 1
century, characterized by the growth
and development of the temperance
movement.
The New Picnic,
The announcement that a numerous
and influential association of Chicago
sns has decided to do its picnicking or
week days this year is preference to
Sundays is probably the beginning o f
an important revolution. The city
picnic has ever been an institution of
distinctive and most peculiar features
and If It began In wholesale larceny
and ended In a riot the supposition wa
that city folk preferred their picnic*
that way; that they found the undi
luted picnic as it obtains in purely
rustic communities too dull and un
eventful for their palates. As soon ns
the grand Sunday excursion and picnic
is announced, the pickpockets and the
strong-arm gentlemen and their
friends make arrangements to lend
their sophisticated and enlivening
presence. The entertainment begins
with the deft manipulation of the
lighter craftsmen at the station and

ators. Sometimes the latter merely
terrorize the passengers for a half
hour or so. taking what is handy, and
depart. Sometimes they insist on be
coming a part of the picnic, greatly to
the discomfort and detriment of the
other parts. Thus through a succes
sion of exciting alarms and affrays the
day is passed. It has long been sup
posed that this was the style of picnic
which the urban taste demanded. Bui
if there is a movement to have the
picnics on week days this supposition
may be ill-founded.

A HEALTHY WIFE
in a Husband's Inspiration.
A sickly, h«lf-de.*tul-and-alive woman,
especially when she is the mother of n
family, is a dumper to all joyousness
of some hus
night with a
feeling of suffocation and alarm, she
must at once regain her strength.
It matters not where she lives, she
can write a letter. Mrs. Pinkhatn,
of Lynn, Mass., will reply promptly
and without charge. The following
shows the power of Lydia E. l'ink
h a in's Vegetable Compound, accom
panied with a let ter of advice:
*“ Dear Mrs. l’inkham:—l have suf
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and ulceration of the
womh, and this spring, being in such a
weakened condition, caused ine to flow
for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you ad
| 41inn I lmve
had for the / P» st l( ‘ n years.
I wish to say (f to all distressed
suffering women, do not suffer longer,
when there is one so kind and willing
tonid you."—Mas. F. S. Bennett, West-
I Dlialin, ICans.
