It is ei-ily quarried, beiivj ratker so't. and has a peculiarly strong odor of kerosene. people break the stonv into small pieces and fire it into a kiln of rough construct-on bvilt of stones against a wall. Ho'es are 'eft in the sides of th- kiln, through which tufts of straw are ' stp'-k. These tu'ts are lighted with flint iid steel and the lime ignites and burns itself. It requires twelve hours to bun a kiln, and then it i fo'ind that all if the rock, except tht at the ton s<->m-> roi"-<' He sides, has been th<^rourh'v burred. T*ie lime produced is of a (rood white color. It bitrns'with a bl-ck a-d an r^or simi'ar to that oli'm. When oool it is air- ''krd a'ld screened.

FOR MAKING SOAR SOFTENING WATER, REMOVING PAINT, DISINFECTING SINKS. CLOSETS, DRAINS, ETC SOLO REFUSE SUBSTITUTES r r f net ' Old Furniture. Most of us have some old furni- ture with which we would not wil- lingly part. It is not the intrinsic value of the tables and chairs which makes them dear to us, but the old associations which cluster about them. Forms and faces rise before us when we tee the time- worn articles, faces which beamed upon us in byegone days, and forms which have long since passed to the world of shadows. The plea- sure of the possession of such relics is not unmixed. Often it is nearer pain than pleasure, and ever it has an undertone of sorrow, for they tell us how sh'Tt is the sp.->n of even | the longest life, how things tem- poral outlive their OWMTO, and whisper, often to ao >att.t.iv car, that the day must tone who we, too, shall pa rt from our earthly belongings and the plate whicfc knew us once shall kivow M M> tuoret forever.
