Goldman of Pittsfield, Mass., has placed on the market an atomizer and sprinkler that has many important uses. By means of short iron handles, a rubber ball, one side of which is filled with fine perforations, is pressed against a wooden projection, so as to eject an even and fine spray after the ball has been filled with water. A single immersion of the ball in a basin of water refills it instantly and the sprinkling can be continued with scarcely any effort. The value of the spray ejected consists in its force and evenness, as well as the operator's ability to regulate the amount of liquid thrown by the pressure of the hand. The most important use it has been put to is for the purpose of sprinkling clothes for ironing. With the greatest ease a large washing may be moistened so evenly and thoroughly that the housekeeper can commence ironing as soon as the last piece is finished without putting the clothes to become evenly dampened as is necessary when the work is done by hand. No less important is its use in disinfecting rooms. Physicians and sanitarians have long been at a loss to devise a practical atomizer suitable | for disinfecting a room by ejecting a spray of fluid so fine as not to injure the furniture and yet in sufficient quantity to cleanse the air. In a few minutes a housekeeper can purify a close room or disinfect air tainted by sickness or disease. For sprinkling plants in the house it is unequalled as the operation can be successfully performed without injury to surrounding objects. For destroying insects on house plants it is equally useful, as it can be placed under the leaves and the insect exterminator thrown upward. With a little ammonia, the sprinkler can be used to moisten carpets and floors before sweeping, settling the dust without wetting them as much as by other methods. Tailors can use it successfully in sponging and cleaning clothes; cigar-makers will find it the best atomizer for dampening tobacco. Tobacco growers are recommended to try it as a worm destroyer, as by it a spray can readily be thrown up in the air, lodging under the leaves. Mothers and nurses have found the article useful in giving the baby a shower bath, and perfume may be used in it on the person and clothing, thus getting the best results from the least expenditure of the liquid. This enumeration might be indefinitely extended, as the uses of the atomizer are unlimited. It costs but 35 cents, and the rubber ball, the only part of it which can ever wear out, can be replaced for 10 cents. It is finding a ready sale and is proving entirely satisfactory. Do not fail to try one of these most valuable of Household articles. 60,000 families now confirm the merits of this machine. You will not do without it at any reasonable price, after you have learned its good qualities. With the WESTERN WASHER, You are not compelled to stand over a hot stove to do a washing. It is far superior to all other machines made for the purpose, and is warranted to please. Agents wanted. Address HORTON MFG. CO., Fort Wayne, Ind., U. S. A. SHOE Absolutely the best.
