A CITY LUXURY.
Just as the city looks to the country for most of the luxuries used
on its tables , so the country must turn to the city for those conven
iences which are justly termed luxuries for the hard-working house-
wife. City housekeepers have learned to realize that to save time is to
lengthen life.
is one of the best known city luxuries and each time a cake is used
an hour is saved. On floors , tables and painted work it acts like a
charm. For scouring pots , pans and metals it has no equal. IF YOUR
STOREKEEPER DOES NOT KEEP IT YOU SHOULD INSIST
UPON HIS DOING SO , as it always gives satisfaction and its immense
sale all over the United States makes it an almost necessary article to
any well-supplied store. Everything shines after its use , and even the
children delight in using it in their attempts to help around the house.

Your correspondent would like to know
how the contributor to the article regarding
the number of puffs a locomotive makes in
going 60 miles ner hour gets his solution ,
which he puts at 52,500. Some engines would
make more , some less , the diameter of the
driving wheel governs. As all engines make
four puffs for each revolution he should have
stated the exact diameter ( if he knew ) of
driving wheels , which would be more explicit
to any one mechanically inclined or liable to
know. To make 52,800 puffs in one hour at
the rate of 60 miles per hour , a driving wheel
must be 7 ft. , 7 in. and 911-1300 of an inch in
diameter.
