of FeMm. Processes vary in different establish- nients, bnt they are essentially as fol­ lows : The crude oil is emptied into Htills made of heavy boiler iron, either in a cylindrical form (placed horizon­ tally), or with oval top and corrugated bottom, underneath which is the furnace tire. Every refinery has a series of these stills, each containing from 600 to 1,500 barrels. The former are twelve and a half feet in diameter and thirty feet in length. The heat of the furnace causes vapors to rise from the most volatile portions of the oil within three hours after firing up. This vapor enters a coil, or worm, of iron pipe submerged in cold water. The water cools or -condenses the vapor into a liquid eallad "distillate." This con­ densation in some refineries is effected by permitting the va}>or to escape into confined boxes of Water, or condensers. In this box or condenser the vapor is converted into a distillate which passes through a pipe to the "receiving-room," and the water sinks to the bottom of the condenser, and is withdrawn. All distillate is sent to the receiving- room, where a separation is made ac­ cording to its density. , AH that is be­ low 60 degrees B. (Baume. standard of density), and down to 40 degrees B., is turned into a tank for kerosene distil­ lates. The lighter portions, or the earlier runs from the still, go into naphtha, gasoline, or benzine tanks, wliile the heavier oils, below 38 de­ grees B., go into the manufacture of paraffine and lubricating oil. The lightest vapor is called "rhigolene," ranging from 115 degrees to 105 de­ grees B., though it and the second run are usually turned into the naphtha tanks. Wneu saved it is used as an anaesthetic. The next productifdcnown aa "cymogene," ranging from 105 de­ grees to 95 degrees B. , and is sometimes used in ice-machines. Below this is gasoline, 95 degrees to 80 degrees B., used largely in country houses for manufacturing gas. The Park Avenue Hotel, New York, the Grand Union, Saratoga, and the Hotel Kaaterskill are lighted by this kind of gas. Next comes naphtha, 80 degrees to 65 de­ grees B., which is extensively used in South American towns for street-lamp lighting, and in conjunction with ben­ zine, 65 degrees to 60 degrees B., as a substitute for turpentine in mixing var­ nishes and paints. They are also used as a solvent to remove stains and grease and for cleaning wools, and for this purpose are of superior value. Finally we come to that portion of the distillate intended for kerosene. It is relatively free from the obnoxious and inflammable elements that charac­ terized the earlier runs from the stills, but it is necsssary to subject it to further treatment. This distillate, therefore, is conveyed into a still, where live steam is injected into it. the gentle heat driving off through a pipe a large proportion of its remaining inflammable ingredients: The method of one of the leading manufac tories in producing their high-test oil is to introduce the oil in the lower part of a tank of water heated to a temperature of 206 degrees F., or just below the boiling-point. The oil rises through the water, and the vapor which is thus generated is carried away; the remaining portion of the im­ proved distillate is conveyed to a large' tank called the "agitator. " In this agitator the distillate is treated with one and a half to two per cent, of sulphuric oci<). Meanwhile a current of air is forced down a tube submerged in the distillate. The air escapes from perforations at its lower extremity, brf aking up the acid into minute parti­ cles or atoftiK, which insures the closest commingling and admixture of the oil and acid. The pitch which is held in suspension in the distillate has a greater affinity for the sulphuric acid, and con­ sequently flies to its embrace. When the current of air ceases, the acid in combination with the pitch is .precipi­ tated to the bottom and drawn off. The acid acts as a scavenger, "sweetening" the oil. It goes into the agitator as white and clear as water, and comes out a thick, black, and tarry substance, known as "sludge" or spent acid. This sludge, which lias a very offensive odor, is either dumped in deep ocean x>r sent to Barren Island to be used in the manu­ facture of artificial fertilizers. The ilext process is to give the dis­ tillate a water bath, for which purpose a large quantity of water is pumped to the top of the agitator, and falling to the •. bottom, cleanses its contents, re­ moving the light films of acid that may attach to the oil globules. A solution of caustic soda is next applied in like manner to neutralize any remaining traces of acid, and to > complete the de- odorization of'the oil. This distillate has now become refined oil, but to lighten and brighten its color it is with­ drawn into settling pans, where it is bleached from twelve to forty-eight hours. It is then barreled or packed in wood-incased tin cans, and made ready for shipment to consumers at home or abroad.--George R. Gibson, in Harper's Magazine. "Mexican Peter's" Defense, "Mexican Peter" is something of a celebrity in his native county. He won his xobriquet, if not his laurels, when serving as body-servant to his young master, "Marse John," during the Mex­ ican war. Now our hero is not free from some of the failings of his race, and the shrines of pious Mexicans, with their gold and silver ornaments, did prove a special pitfall aud temptation to poor Peter. In vain did "Marse John" instill into the- African mind lessons of higher morality, with a wholesome blending of the terrors of the law when coming in the garb of strict military discipline; the fact remained the same; in the time of temptation Peter had to be closely watched. When the war was over, "Marse John" went to Washington, and Peter Was s?nt home to "ole mars- ter." For a few short hours after his homo-coming he stepped a hero, with many tales of the marvelous to tell. Having some suspicion of how matter stood, "ole marster," with a sly twin­ kle, said, "No\^, Pete, what did you bring back from you travels to show us?" This was touching a tender spot, and Peter's countenance fell as he said: "I 'clare, ole marster, Marso John didn't hab no conscience 'bout dat thing at all. Much as dar wuz to pit, all I could fotch home wuz wnn lil sill>er gord"--- displaying with a mixture of pride and melancholy a little image of some saint that might or might not have been of the precious metal. Time rolled on, and the proclamation emancipated Peter from "Marse John's" conscience (or want of conscience), and at various or sundry times he profited by his liberty of action, and finally found himself in liml>o for unlawfully possrssing himself of his neighbor's tur- 1cev, and was tried in the court where 'Marse John" wa4 a practicing attorney, and "Marse Pay,ton," another member of the family, the grave and dignified judge. The ovideaoe was overpower­ ing. and to plead "not guilty" impossi­ ble, so Peter could only request to be " lowed to splain how he got in de trouble." Anticipating a treat, the re­ quest was granted, and solemnly the Court awaited tlie defense. Not with­ out a certain dignity the old man arose, and the explanation l>egan: "Getmun, I won't sav I 'aint got into dis trouble, 'cause I sholy is, and hit troubling me 'nough; but in jestice I mus' tell how it all cum upon me. Fust, some blame lay at the door of Marse John. He good man, good as gole; but he wun contrackted, not say wun stingy, farmer. He got de ole threshin-machine he had 'fore de war, what leave inos' of de wheat in de straw, and dat fack 'tice ole Mis' Simpkin's turkeys to cum dar and scratch in de straw an' eat. Now, dey come dar an' do dat so long tell dey jes shine, and, gentmun, when a tuckey shine, he fat, an' I look at dem shining tuckeys so long tell I 'gin to feel mor'lly bound to have one, an' I got one. Now; dat's de fust reason, but chiefliest dis| trouble come to me 'cause old Mr. Simp-, kins wa'n't no gentmun. Ef I had been, dealing wid a gentmun, things ud 'a bin diffunt; but he wuz pore white folks,, an' ez I only knowed de ways of gent-, mun, I wa'n't no match for him. I does know a gentmun. Didn't me an' Marse John here and Marse Peyton dar all come out de same estate, and who ever fetch de word dey wa'n't no gentmun ? Well, me an'de ole 'oman an'de chillun had jes dun eat dat tuckey, an', to sabe de scand'l ob de thing, I had put all de feathers an' bones in de Dutch oven-- my Dutch oven Mis' Sally, gib me-- when I hear somebody knock at de door. I went to de door,, an' dar stan' ole Mr. Simpkins! Now some pore white folks is wus dan p'inter dogs, dey so peersonie. Mr. Simpkins come in ; he look round, an'.walk straight to my Dutch oven Mis' Sally gib me. He peep in; he find de feathers an' de bones, pull um all out, an' jes laff nios' outlandish! Wuz dat a gentmun? Now de Cote knows all, an' I couldn't set here quiot tell d^y did." It is need­ less to say the ruling of the "Cote" was not very severe.-- Editor's Drawer, Harper's Magazine. Arithmetical Item. < Jim Webster was tried in Austin , for stealing chickens from Col. Yerger. He was convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. After the trial was over Col. Yerger said to Webster: "Now that you have been convicted, just for the fun of it, I'd like to know how many of my chickens you have stolen at one time and another." "I ain't gwinter tell yer, boss, how many chickens I lifted offen your hen roost." "Jim, here is half a dollar, if you will tell me the number vou have taken." "No, sail, I ain't gwinter tell yer, for no half dollar how many of dem chick­ ens I tuck. Ise knows de number per- zackly, but I ain't gwinter gib hit away for no 50 cents. I ain't no 50 cents on de dollar niggah. Ef you wants de hull troof yer mus pay a hull dollar." "Well, Jim, here is 50 cents. If you are willing to tell the whole "truth for a dollar, of course you will tell half the truth for 50 cents. You can afford to tell me half tlie number of chickens for 50 cents, can't you ?" "Satainly. I'se a square niggah. Ef you pays for half the troof, dat's what yer gits." "Well, give me half the number of rooster® you stole." "Lenime see. Half de number of roosters am five." "Very well. What's half the number of pullets," "Heali, lieali! I can't split a pullet in two, kin I? Half de,pullets am six and one pullet over." A "How about old hens?" "Half de hens am six." ., , "Soyou stole ten roosters?" "De law! How do dibbel did you come ter find dat out?" " You stole thirteen pullets and twelve old hens." The astonished darkey started back in dismay, and rolling his eyes at Col. Yerger, exclaimed: "You is a dangerous man. Dar's some hocos pocus about dis heah." "One question more, Jim. How did you manage to find out half the num­ ber of chickens you stole ? You don't know anything about arithmetic." "No, sah, of course I don't know nuffin 'bout refmetie, but I knows half de number ob chickens I got, bekase de udder niggah what was watchin' outsider de fence he tuck half de chick­ ens and I got de udder half."--Texas 51 flings. Charm of American Women. Tlie frankness of the American young woman has in it, on the threshold, a certain bewilderment and even em­ barrassment for the British male per­ son, especially if his collars be too stiffly starched. She has so utter an apparent absence of self-consciousness; her mental equipoise is so serenely stable; her good fellowship, if one may ! use the term, is so natural that he can­ not see liis way easily to the solution of tin* problem. I assume him to be a gentleman, so that his intuition deters him from a misconception of the phe­ nomena that confront him. She flirts, he finds; she is an adept in flirtation, but it is a flirtation "from the teeth outwards," to use Carlvle's phrase, and he is fain to own to him­ self, like the fox-hunting farmer who tried unsuccessfully to get drunk on the claret, that lie seems to get no "for­ rader." But, although the citadel of the fort seems to him strangely im­ pregnable, because of the cool, alert self-possession of the garrison. I have been told by heroic persons who have ventured on the escapade that, if the beleaguer be whom fortune favors, it will terminate an honorable siege by a graceful capitulation. Human nature is human nature all < the world over, and there is no greater error than the prevalent one among us that domesticity is got a leading virtue of American married couples. That there is too much of hotel life for American families I concede, aud I am fully conscious of the faults aud evils of the system; but that it entails any im­ pairment of the higher domestic vir­ tues, I have failed to discover. It is not easy to sec how a woman is de­ teriorated as the companion and friend of a man--a.? a participator in his as­ pirations. his troubles, liis studies, his higher life--because her condition re­ leases her from the duty of devising the details of a dinner, from the irrita­ tion of the demoniacal domestics, from the drudgery of checking the grocer's pas8-l>ook, and the sad realization that all bakers are liars, and mostly robbers as well.--Archibald Forbes, in Souve­ nirs of Some Continents.

NOMADS BY NATURE. a Southern 6Iav» Made a Runaway •f ffl« Master. " A. well-to-do farmer in one of the best counties iq middle Tennessee, says the iSouthern Bivouac, owned a large number of slaves, and among them one old darky about His own age, and whom he had known all life life. In fact, he was one of the "old family negroes" brought out from Virginia. Old "Sam" was a faithful, docile creature, a great favorite with his master? and a sort of privileged character on the plantation. The old fellow was industrious and ex­ emplary in his l»ehavior all the year round, except during the period dating from the time when roasting ears began to ripen and the earliest appearance of frost. Bam was invariably seized at that period with an invincible desire to "run away." It recurred as regularly as a fit of "hay fever," was as incurable, and, like that unpleasant disorder, could only be treated by change of air and locality. Sam, understanding this, preferred taking his case in his own hands and administering the treatment in his own discretion. Of course, in such a case, the usual punishment in­ flicted on "runaway niggers" was not to be thought of. Remonstrance was un­ availing. Sam declared: "He jes' couldn't he'p liissef," and it became a settled and understood arrangement that lie should go, and that the neigh­ borhood should condone his raids on cornfields and potato patches. After many such escapades liis old master asked him on' one occasion, when the matter was under discussion: "Sam, do you really enjov ranking away?" "'Deed, Marse John," said Sam, "I does. Hit's de moas' fun in the wurl'. Coon huntin' aint no whars* to hit." "Well, then," said Marse John, "just let me know the next time you take a notion to start, and I'll go with you and try it a while myself." Sure enough, in due season Sam came up, saying: "Ole Marse, de time's mighty nigh when I's 'bleeged to lite out. Ef yon gwine wid me, you l»etter be gittin' ready, for when de time come I got to go quick." "Ole Marse" kept a bright lookout, and when Sam started he was on hand. They had a delightful time. They fished occasionally, caught 'possums, robbed orchards and watermelon and potato patches, picked blackberries for recreation, and haunted the greenest and shadiest nooks of the forest, all of which Sam knew well. "Old Marse" had never enjoyed a summer so much. In fact he was so much pleased that regularly afterward he accompanied Sam when the latter went into annual retreat. At length Sam died. The old master grieved forliim sorelv. He was sad also over the reflection that his sum­ mer pastime would in the future be de­ nied him. But to the amazement of all his friends, and not less his own, when roasting-ear time came again the fit seized liim as strong as ever and he ran away by himself. Unsuccessful Educated Men. A Phi Beta Kappa address at Har­ vard College by Mr. Henry Rawlo, a successful lawyer of Philadelpliia, has come rather tardily to the public notice which it deserves. Mr. Rawle dis­ cusses the educated men who are with­ out regular employment--the men who get the liest education, and are yet un­ able to eariJ a living. In some coun­ tries the class is large, and its members are among the most unhappy in tlie world. In France they are believed to have furnished much of the energy of the Commune, and in Russia the Nihil­ ists are generally educated men. In Germany the class is so large as to ex­ cite thoughtful apprehensions. They exist in vast multitudes in London, and stream out from that city as adventur­ ers into the new lands. In this coun­ try the class is fair less noticeable, bnt it is abundantly represented among us. The facts are not a monopoly, and Mr. Rawle's treatment of them does not specially concern us; his good service consists in calling attention in a large and inspiring way to the existence of unsuccessful educated men. It is hardly possible that anyone can infer that ed­ ucation is an evil, or even that our methods of education disqualify men for success in life. In this country the vast body of the unsuccessful are the uneducated. If there is no lack of proof that the professions are crowded with failures the answer is swift--that the mass of the failures did not receive the best education and that there are vastly more failures in unprofessional avoca­ tions. Tke great American failure is a man who has learned to read, write, and cipher, and has set up as a business man without mental discipline or moral ballasting. The pert fool, who at six­ teen gets behind a counter when he ought to be at school, becomes the con­ spicuously unsuccessful man of this country. He has no trade, he knows no business. He is too lazy to work with his hands; he can wear good clothes at other people's expense; he can corrupt political life; he can talk glibly without saying anything; he can do nothing well which a man ought to do. It would take the space of a volume to de­ scribe him. A comparison of educated men with others in this country should not leave out the fact that the great busines s of the eountrv is passing into educated hands. "flie railroads conspicuously show this. It is equally true thai pub­ lishing and the vast periodical business of the country has enlarged the field in which education is of special value. If we were called upon to consider much the faults or virtues of . the col­ leges, we might blame them with some emphasis for the failures whom they graduate. The pre-eminent merit of the American college is that it can mod­ ify and strengthen character; reducing its defects and enlarging its power. If the college has eyes to see, it ought to discover the hopelessly defective persons in its classes, and retire them long be­ fore graduation. The failures may lead less unhappy lives; the colleges will not suffer the reproach of having un­ fitted tlieui for living to some small pur­ pose. And yet there is not a large amount of proof that a dangerously large number of failures are graduated, though it is a place for caution.-- Christian at Work. -Mot Frightened. A little 4-year-old girl was put to bed in the third story of her home, and left, as usual, in the dark. A terrific thun­ der storm came up, and her mother, thinking the child would be frightened at the lightning, went to her. On en­ tering, the child called out with delight: "Mamma! the wind blew the sun up just now; ditl you see it ?" Fear had no entrance there.--Detroit Free Press.
