faili. xr SUGAR. ff>;, f. ' , M. Qoa4 Toll* the Boys How Tt Is Made. ;'*= Take this lamp of whit© sugar and ? . -hold it tinder your microscope and what ^ do you see? It looks like coarse,white gv' M&datone, bat at the same time there * 4a such a delicious look that your mouth lb, sjtragins to water, and you long for a p - taste. Take the finest powdered white sn- gar--BO fine that it feels like floor in oar fingers--and nnder the micro- pe yon can see grains as if quartz |-ock had been broken up. 4 Take the lightest, driest brown su- yon can find and put it nnder the lass and you see a damp mass, with ere and there a speck of dirt. Every ain stands out by itself, and you onder that the sugar did not wetyour gers. You know that sugar-cane is grown | ̂ the same as corn, though it must be ^ imore highly cultivated. It ia cut in §3?: •'Reason and carted to the sugar-mill, •where the cane is crashed and the juice *; is extracted. The juice or sap ia the '(• latest stuff you ever tasted, and not at all like the sap from a sugar maple. It • is run into pans and boiled down until eugar is left--a wet, coarse, dark stuff, the taste of which would disgust you. Our Southern su^ar men seldom at- * tempt to make a nice brown sugar, bnt , barrel np the coarse material I spoke of and Bend it to the refiner, or, rath­ er, sell it to him. To go through a refinery you must • jump from the basement to the tenth floor and follow the process down in- stead of np. The sugar goes first into the basement and is dumped into the melters. These are iron caldrons .eight or ten feet across the top and five . or six feet deep, with perforated bot­ toms. Steam pipe? are used to melt the sugar; and the liquid drops down into the tanks. From these tanks it is pumped directly to the tenth floor into clarifiers. These are large iron tanks, steam heated, and the liquid is now kept at a heat of 200 degrees. The next move takes it down to the ninth floor. Pipes conducts it from the clari­ fiers to spouts below,and at each spout is a bag made of coarse material. The liq­ uid straiqs through the bags into iron tanks on the eighth floor. These bags f must be kept very clean, and the tnbs ? yto wash them in are handy by, while men, stripped to the waist, do the washing. ,* The liquid runs from the eight floor to the seventh, and falls into huge iron pots snnk flush with the floor. Each one of these great pots is full of bone- black--70,000 pounds in each pot. Bone-black is the dagt of the bones of horses and cattle, and it looks and feels like coarse blasting powder. It is a filter and a purifier. The liquid makes its way down through the bone black to the sixth floor, and you now > notice a great change in color. It has lost its dark and muddy look, and is as clean as common water. Iron tanks receive it as it filters through, and it is run off in pipes to other tanks on the fifth floor. v .From here it takes a boost back to the sixth floor, to go into the pans to be re­ heated, as the liquid is now getting * cooled off. These pans are iron tanks with steam coils inside, and the syrup is boiled for two hours and a ha f. As it comes down to the fifth floor again it runs into the mixer, and from that into the centrifugals on the fourth floor. These centrifugals are open iron tanks; * • lined with brass, and perforated with thousands of small holeB. They make 1,200 revolutions per minute as they ; „ turn the thick sticky stuff into a fair si grade of brown sugar. If you ever vis- L. it a steam laundry you will see them p^™^tfying clothes by the same process. I. The centrifugal revolves with such | " speed that all the dampness" is thrown out through the perforations. | Close at hand, as the iron tanks go ^ spinning around, are tubs of blue wa­ ter, and the contents are ladled in to !'• "tone" the sugar and further purify it. [ It runs now to the floor below, and comes out in ar hopper in which are re- is" ivolving knives. These knives mix and turn and dry the sugar, and if the grade is the one the refinery is running i on, the sugar is thrown on the floor to be barreled. If a higher grade is de­ sired it falls into a bin on the floor be­ low, and a man shovels it to an endless elevator, and it is hoisted up one story i again, and goes into the granulator. This is a large iron cylinder, kept constantly hot, and revolving like a •coffee-roaster. The office of this is to separate, the grains and further dry the sugar. It comes out hot to the tovch, *^and runs in spouts to the floor below!* You have seen a miller place a bar­ rel under a spout and let it fill with •flour? But this beats the miller all liollow. He must shake his own bar­ rels to settle the contents, while in this case each barrel stands on an iron plate which keeps up a steady jolting, tilting the barrel about until the sugar packs as hard as sand. One man has charge of three spouts, and as he wheel* the filled barrels off the shaker, a cooper stands ready to put in the head and crowd on the hoops. The barrels aro sent up from the sidewalk on two endless chains, to which arms are attached at regular distances. jThe barrel rests against these arms until it is carried to a certain hight, and it is then dumped off and rolls to the coop­ er's feet. Now then you know how sugar is made.--Detroit Free Press. Tfie Bay View Quarries, Cape Ann. The friends had been recommended to one of the workmen of the Cape Ann Company, who was kind enough to explain to them what was going on. The quarries, he told them, were at a little distance from the village, and the stone was Kent down to the shore and the cutting and polishiug shops in cars' drawn by steam upon the company's railroad, the only railroad where st?am is used in the Cape quarries. The vis­ itors might have gone up on the train to see the quarrying. But being pressed for time, they chose rather to watch the different processes used in working the stone, from its entrance into the shops in a rough block, till it attains the astonishingly fine polish which the workmen are able to give it. The work was done near the water's edge in long wooden sheds, soma of them open on one side, Bome of them with doors and windows of cotton cloth. It was cold business, the workmen said, but there were stoves in some the shops, and the men were not too cold to keep np an industrious chipping and hammering, nor to good-naturedly ex­ plain to the visitors some of the myste- ries of their trade. They showed them how tochiBel the line, how to point the 'stone down, and what were the differ­ ences between peen-hammers and bush- hammers. They took the bush-ham­ mers out of their chests that the ladies might see the varieties with five, six, eight, and ten edges, which gave the granite the slightly lined or ridged appearance which they have often no­ ticed. The point and chisel work inter­ ested them, chiefly in regard to its ef- tb^ wpjlrmen. »/: fe';- «.T fe- fe­ lt "You must be always getting the stone into your eyes," cried Bessy. "Yes, ma'am," said the workman, composedly, "but we don't mind that as much as the spHnters of steel. All our points are of English steel, you see, and that's very bad when it gets into the eyes. But then plenty of the men have a great knack at getting it out; they are as good as any eye-doctor." Do you use a camel s-hair pencil ?" asked Anastasia. "No; we take a broom splint some* times, or a penknife, or * pin--not the point, but the head. A pin isn't so good, though." § As they talked, Nancy was watching the white figures in the dusty sunlight, their heads bent over their hammers, making pictures which Francois Millet, who knew what a working-man's life was. would have been glad to paint. "My trade isn't an easy one," said she, "bnt I thins theirs is harder. I wish I were that sort of workman. I mean I wish my work were as good and as direct as theirs. It makes my heart beat and my breath come quick to be in a place like this. I know that if 1 were to paint something here I should have a better chance for success in the midst of the steadiness and resolution and cheerful iudustry about me." "You wouldn't#" s.id the skeptical Bessy. "You'd have a headache." "Indeed I should not, for I have tried it," said her friend. "The most inspir­ ing neighbors I ever had while I was at work were my classmates in Paiis, the next most inspiring were some iron­ workers in Cambridgeport. I like to feel that I too have part and lot in thet stir and rush of our hard-working re­ public. We are no nation of shop­ keepers, we Americans, but, I think, a nation of workmen, making all soits of new th ngs for an old tirdd World." After a vain attempt to see the steam- cutter they entered thepolishing-shops. Granite is polished first with sand, then with emery, then with putty pow­ der and felt. Some blocks are pol­ ished by a great machine called a Jen­ ny Lind, others by sinister-looking ar­ rangements called pendulums, which are supported from above and run backward and forward over the granite --a sight which terrified our two friends. The finest work is done by hand. The pride of the shop at pres­ ent appeared to be centered in a great crown, which with a cross was to form part of some monument, and whoso ornament would admit of none bnt hand­ work. The granite took a beautiful polish, and in its finished state it became easy to see the differences in color and den­ sity which are significant to experts. All the Bockport granite which our friends had seen was gray or grayish- green. It differs in color from that of the Quincy quarries, which is gray too, but. the travellers thought, of a lighter gray, and it differs from it in quality as well. There are different qualities of Cape granite too. The Maine gran­ ite, it appeared, is Ted.--EIltn Day Hale, in Harper's Magazine. Points About Pauses. Judge Jeffrey, the editor of theEdm- burgh&eoiew, prided himself upon his ability in punctuation. Lord Cockburn said of him: "There was no one of the friends of his later aquisition for whom he had greater admiration or regard than Lord Macaulav. This Judge, of 74. revised the proof-sheets of Macau- lav's first volumes of the History of England with the diligent and minute care of a corrector of the pres9 toiling for biead, not merely suggesting changes in the matter and the expres­ sion, but attending to the very commas and colons--a task which, though hum­ ble, would not • e useless, because it was one at which long practice had male him very (skillful; indeed he used to boast that it was one of his peculiar excellencies. On returning a prodf to an editor of the Revieic, he says. "I have myself rectified most of the errors, and made many valuable verbal improvements in a small way. But my great task has been with the punctua­ tion, on which I have, as usual, acquit­ ted myselc to admiration. And in­ deed this is the department of litera­ ture in which I feel that I most excel, and on which I am therefore most wil­ ling to stake my reputation!" Dean Alford flattered li mself that he was able to punctuate. "I have some satistaction in reflecting," he says, "that in the course of editing the Greek text of the New Testament I believe 1 have destroyed more than 1,000 com­ mas which prevented the text being properly understood." To this Mr. Washington Moon retorted that the great eoemy to understanding the Dean's sentences was the want of oom- ma*.--All the Year Round* Preferring His Own Horn. At a popular* boarding house in White street many years ago sojourned a bachelor gentleman of cultivation and prepossessing appearance, but ad­ dicted to one disagreeable habit. He would, while sitting either at the breakfast, dinner, or tea table, delib­ erately draw forth his old-fashioned bandana handkerchief, and applying it to his proboscis, produce a noise which would overwhelm the sound of ait ordi­ nary fisiiliorn. It was a great annoy­ ance to his fellow boarders, and as lie appeared insensible to the disagreeable results of his performances, it was re­ solved to give him a gentle hint that the company had heard enough. One morning a small but nicely finished tin horn, with a note attached, was discov­ ered on his plate. All the boarders were in a state of expectancy. In walked the gentleman,' seated himself, and apparently surprised, inspected the horn and then read the note.. The effect was magical. He rushed from the table to his room, and in the course of the day bade farewell to the house, The note was a suggestion that, for va­ riety's sake, he would adopt tli3 little horn for table performances.--Boston Budget. ; . He Remembered the Encore. A mother took her 3-vear old son to an aiternoon concert, and when the first encore was given he was fright­ ened, and asked his mother why they did so. She said, playfully: "Perhaps they are glad she is done singing," and thought no more about it. He seemed to be satisfied, and sat the rest of the time reasonably well.

Winter Parties for Children. Dr. Cullimore, of London, has pub­ lished a protest against children's parties in winter. The Lancebmakea a vigorous attack on «such parties for children under 12. It is perhaps diffi­ cult to draw any line; for women of all ages the winter party is a danger to health. For the children the dangers to health and morals know no season. Parties aro not necessary to the happi­ ness of childhood. Simple pleasures in good air yield the happiest results at all ages, and parties come all too soon, with artificial pleasures, vitiated air, colds induced by change of clothing, late hours, indigestible food, and un­ natural twists and sophistications of the mind. Yes, let us abolish, at least, tho winter parties for children. A Man to torit AH Eggs Are Bad. There is a gentleman living in Ham­ ilton to whose system egg is poison. A sip of coffee settled with egg unsettles his stomach and makes him sick. The presence of egg in anything he eats nauseates him and less than the twen­ tieth part of cne egg lias made him sick for days. To handle broken eggs blisters his fingers and to eat a single egg he thinks would kill him, and his friends who have noticed closely the effect eggs have on his system agree with him. His is a constitutional an­ tipathy to egg, and he would decide in favor oi arsenic if forced to decide between an equal quantity of it or egg. He is a man of robust constitution and his case is most singular.--Atlanta Constitution. Bad Grammar on the Stage. "1 must be gittin' along." "She learned me this last week."

A Chicago medical society recently amputated a member. It was a very good member they cut off, and was not diseased at all. In fact, the member that was cut off was the only sound, healthy member that the medical soci­ ety could boast of. But, dropping all nonsense, a medical association ex­ pelled one of its members. They ex­ pelled him, not because he had pre­ scribed arsenic instead of quinine, or because he had committed some t)f his homicides while in an intoxicated con­ dition. Nobody ever heard of a medi­ cal society amputating a member for any such triviality as that.' Now for what does the reader suppose Chose sawbones cut off the offending member? For nothing in the world except that he had put his business card in a newspaper and paid for it. tt is contrary to medical ethics for ̂ Chica­ go doctor to advertise in a newspaper. Why there should be any more objec­ tion to a doctor putting his card iii a newspaper than there is in tacking his professional shingle on his office door, is more than we can comprehend with­ out some operation having been previ­ ously performed on our journalistic brain. We utterly* fail to discover why it is more unprofessional in a doctor to advertise in a newspaper than it is for a lawyer or a banker to do so. This is a peculiarly singular feature of medical ethics, when it is taken into consideration that otherwise there is no profession fonder of newspaper notori­ ety. 1 f a son of iEsculapius does some tine work in repairing a rickety liver, or putting in order some other part of the human anatomy that has become unhinged, we have never perceived any wild, frenzied oppdsition on the part of the doctor to having the fact mentioned in flattering terms in the local paper. There is nothing in that that interferes with the therapeutic, chirurgical, sani­ tary, analeptic, prophylactic, or any other kind of medical ethics. Again, it will be remembered that every once in a while the doctors hold a kind of ecumenical council. We have never observed any attempt to prevent the press from publishing the sickening details. Usually one of the doctors is delivered of a long, salutiferous, bal­ samic kind of a pastoral address, full of Latin names and less intelligible En­ glish, about materia medica, or dietet­ ics, of pharmacology, after which his one object in life seems to be to inflict it, as a kind of mental porous plaster, on the reading public, through the me­ dium of the local press. There seems to be nothing in medical ethics against running an entire issue of a newspaper with that kind of a free cyclopean ad­ vertisement of personal and profession­ al egotism; yet when any other doctor puts in a two-inch ad. that he is author­ ized by law to take human life, the en­ tire medical profession sits up on its hinds legs and howls about ethics, which goes to show that the medical profession is as badly afflicted with humbuggery as is theology.--Texas Si/tings. The Grade or Crimes. An exchange thus classifies crimes of peculation: Taking $1,000,000 is called a case of genius. Taking $100,000 is called a case of shortage. Taking $50,000 is called a case of litigation. Taking $25,000. is called a case of in­ solvency. Taking $10,000 is called a oase of ir­ regularity. Taking $5,000 is called a oase of defalcation. Taking $1,000 is called a case of cor­ ruption. Taking $5C0 is called a case of em­ bezzlement. Taking $100 is .called a oase of dis­ honesty. Taking $50 is called a case of thiev­ ery. Taking $25 is called a case of total depravity. Taking one ham is c^led a case of war on society. 1 The Preventive of a Terrible Oiuww. No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of lung disease, involve such a tremendous de­ struction of orpantc tissue as those which fasten upon the kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic--and none are so liable to assume that phase--completely wreck the sys­ tem. To prevent this terrible disease, recourse should be had, upon the first manifestation Of trouble, to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which experience has proved to be highly effective as a means of imparting tone and regulaiity to the organs of urination, as well as to the liver, stomach, and bowels. Another beneficial result of this medicine, naturally consequent upon its diuretic action, is the elimination trom the blood of impurities which beteet rheumatism, neura - (ria, grout, dropsy, and other maladies. By In­ creasing the activity of the kidneys, it auirmeuts the depnrative ettlcicncy of these organs, which are most important outlets for the escape of •ach impurities. "Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of Safety." In an exchange we read that it is en­ tirely a gratifying thing to lazy, irre­ sponsible people to find that health, and the best conditions for living use­ ful and reasonably happy lives, are within their own power, and that they are responsible for their fulfillment. It is so much easier to keep on in the old way, to pile up refuse, to let the drain­ age go, to build a house like a soap box, and transfer the consequences to the shoulders of Providence or the Al­ mighty. But it is too late to do this now. Providence has been made re­ sponsible for the results of our short­ comings long enough; science has dis­ covered that they are within our control, and that it is our business first to dis­ cover what the laws are that govern health and disease, and then adapt our­ selves and our circumstances to the obligation they impose.--Dr. Foott's Health Monthly.

"Persian bread," writes our corre­ spondent now in Afghanistan, "is a very peculiar production; it is made in large flaps, in some cases about a yard long. If ever the Persians reach the advanced state of morning newspapers they might have them printed on their bread, so that they could read the news while they eat, and swallow every­ thing literally. On seeing these large flaps I have often thought that they must resemble tho blacksmith's leather apron, which was tjie old standard of Persia; if the bread is not made after that model they have managed to pro­ duce an article very like it, not only in size but in color and toughness at the same time. We have had now nearly two months'experience of this material, and it was a delight on coming here to get at our breakfast the first morning bread that was made on a somewhat later model than an old leather apron. The chances of finding a change in this detail of our daily life on reaching tlio Indian camp had often been discussed on the way, when we were hard at work trying to masticate pieces of the leather kind. One of our party said he knew Major Rind, the commissariat officer of the other camp, and that he was not a man likely to come away without the means of baking good bread, but we had been so long used to that Persian kind that these assurances did not in­ spire much hope. There had been doubts, but these were dispelled at our first breakf. st. Butter actually appear­ ed on the table with the bread. I fear for the moment we either forgot or thought lightly of the splendid piilaus in the breakfast prepared for us by the Governor of lvhorassan's cook . at Mashed, or the many delicacies Ali Mardan treated us with at Sarakhs. One man while munching a great mouthful of bread and butter--th'e amount in bis mouth slightly interfer­ ed with his articulation--but we made out that he meant to say it was almost as good as arriving at Dover. Of course he meant to add that it was after hav­ ing been a long time in the East away from England, but at that instant he had not a moment to spare, and left the sentence in its incomplete form as here recorded."--London Daily News.
