i The ppncial prorcss of gucrar refining
is simple mid easy to gather, but in the
pirts that do not show n most dclicnte
manipulation is required.
A Host on A'trertmrr reporter recently
explored tho mysteries of turning the
nrown, unniiy, raw sunr in tho store
house into tho bnrrelfuls of white,
shining sweoiness tlint the coopers were
heading up on the lower floor.
, Tho proi esses of sugar rclining nro
simply these: Tlio suj;ar is melted ton
certain degree of density. And at the
proper degree of hoat is strained, just as
lolly is strained, to get the dirt out.
Then it is filtered through boncblaek to
tako out the coloring matter. Finally it
is boiled down into sugar again.
Tho sugar is dumped into ft great vat,
melted in hot wntcr'and stirred up with
K constantly moving stirrer. A strainer
removes the bits of bag and stick. The
barrels and bags arc washed and steamed
to get all the sugar out, and even the
scrapings from the lloor arc saved. The
melted sugar now goe iuto the refinery,
where its density and lieat are carefully
established.
; The interior of thn refinery is nil up
ami downs, narrow step ladders am) a
(temperature of about HO degrees: the
men work bare to the waist. After mix
ing, tho sugar goes to the bag filters to
pet rid of the dirt. The filters are con
tained in chambers with pcrfotatcd
roofs. Each hole in the roof is fitted
with a neck or "bottle;" from the bottle
depends a linen bag, closed at tho lower
end. Outside, tho bag, as a pillow-case
to tho bag's pillow, is a stout sheath to
prevent the bag from bursting. The
incited sugar is poured in over the top,
and as it runs down through tho bag it
leaves most of the foreign matter. The
sugar is followed by a stream of pure
water that washes all the sugar out.
The refuse, which looks like dark mud,
is "stripped" from the bags, so that they
can be washed.
. Tec sugar is now bright and clear, but
still of a dark brown color. There is a
black, granular substance driving about
Sn one or two of the rooms that will re
taiove this color. That substanee is bone
black, beef bones burred and ground.
Honcblack looks like gunpowder. It
has a medium grain, and it is just this
grain and no other that will do for filter
ing sugar. Tho boneblack is heuted red
hot in enclosed chambers, allowed to
partly cool, away from the air, then it is
slowly passed through tho room, cool
ing, till it reaches the "char tilteis."
AV hen these arc charged, the sugar is
poured in at tho top, a dark-colored
lluid, aud it t omcs out at the bottom ni
clear as water. Toward tho lasc of the
filtering the "char" loses its power, and
tie sugar begins to get yellow. It is
from that the brown and yellow sugars
are made.
Next the sugar is boiled. I is pumped
into tho boilers, vacuum pans, which as
soon as filled to a certain height nro
closed and the air exhausted. It boils
at a lower temperature than 212 degrees.
Then the sirup bubble; and boils, till by
a change, only perceptible to a skillful
eye, tho graiu begins to come. In goes ;
more melted sugar, and tho graining
goes on until the peep-holes in the pan
are clogged with sugar, and tho whole
pan filled with a mixture of sugar and '
hi nip. The boiling requires no ordinary
skill and judgment. The first filling of i
the pan must be just so or it will be I
spoiled. The workman must decide the !
si.e of the grain by careful boiling, nnd
shut oil thu steam when the right mo
ment is reached.
Next follow the centrifugals, where
tho mixture becomes sugar. Down from 1
the vat, uuder the pans, through a spout j
the sugar falls, fifty pounds at a time, into
a hollow cylinder surrounded by a .
pocket. Tho wall of the cylinder is a .
line sieve. The cylinder revolves IfiO !
times a minute, and the moist sugar
Hies up tho side in iU hurry to get away
from the center of revolution. Tho
sirup spurts out through the tiny holes
in the sieve, and the grained sugar alone
remains. The s rup all extracted, the 1
sugar is washed, still revolving, with a
hose.
Drving is done by passing a warm cur- :
rent of air through the sugar as it sifts '
through a revolving sieve. It is then j
bolted like flour by machinery, and run I
off iuto barrels, labeled and coopered. I
Then it is ready to ship away. Each I
day's mcltin" is run through as soon as
Iiossiblc, and it is a possibility that ,
irown sugar landed from tho vessel in
the morning may be shipped in the even-1
ing. Granulated sugar leaves bihlnd ten
per cent, of its weight in water and dirt.
There U a big product in this process of
refining, and that is the sirup. It is the
ubstauce which leaves the sugar in the
centrilugal. Alter proper manipulation
it comes into tanks, a rieh,golden liquid,
the sirup of commerce.
A Fatalistic Suicide.
"There is a strango thing about the re
cent suicide of Mr. llcury i'owell," said
a friend of tho family. "He jumped
into the Atlantic Ocean at the place
wuere, some lorty years ago, tue Ocean
Monarch burned. The ship was con
sumed, nnd over three hundred peoplo
perished with her. Mr. I'owell was a
pag:enger on her and had a thrilling es
cape. Probably as he trod the deck of
tho Servia ten days ago the memory of
that occasion came back to him. He was
a nervous, excitable man, and perhaps
the thought of the way his life had once
1 ecn saved there when he k& a young
man made hiiu think that fate impelled
lii in there to end his life, an old man
Millering from many ills. And so the
same waves in which he once battled 6o
well and bravely for life at last swallowed
him. Eor forty years they had been
waiting for their prey. Once he had
escaped them, but the cruel waves
did not let him go." Ano York Tele

The meaning of tho "sizes" of shoes is
a mystery to most people, if not to the
trade, too. "I am told," says a writer to
tho Brooklyn C!i:en, " however, that
the distinction iu such 'sizes' originated
centuries ao in China aud was bused
upon the length of the barley corn a
grain chosen because in its dried condi
tion it is more uniformly of the same
size than any other gra n. 'How she 1'
originated is not so clear, butevery ad
dilional size represented the larger ais
of a barley coin. In the course of time
nnd with the transfer of the system to the
Oo idem the barley corn became one
third of an huh."
A poorly-clad little girl came iuto the
store of one of our stationers recently.
Mie wished to buy some writing paper,
aud finally was shown some for five cents
a quire. "How much will half a quire
be." she iuquired in a half-fed, plaintiff
little voile. "Three cents," replied the
cierk. "If you. pleas;, Ell take the
i.thtr half," was the quick ie-poase.

Mr. F. 1). Curtis, says In the New
York World, tho best pork he evrr made
on tho farm was made by feeding six
teen old hogs, twice a day, fivo bushels
of turnips and swedes, boiled and mixed
with a half bushel of rye, ground entire.
Thrco week's before 'killing time, tho
rye was increased to three peeks at each
meal. The turnips were cooked in a
potnsh kettle, which held, heaping full,
ten bushels. When boiled until soft,
they were shoveled into a barrel, and the
kcttlo filled again: thee were cooked
with about half tho tiro required for the
first lot. Tho troughs were filled with
tho turnip, the meal spread on, and the
mass worked together wiih a hoe. Tho
hogs wcio then allowed to pitch in.
The IMil!osoihy of Churning:.
Tho belief that the smalt particles of
butter in the cream must bo liberated by
the friction in the ( hum beforo the but
ter can be gatlercd is altogether wrong
and makes trouble for the luittermaker.
Liberated from whatf l'ossibly tho im
aginary envelope or pellicle or skin which
has been said to inclose tho globules
of oil wh'ch form tho butter when they
are gathered into a mass. Tho fact is,
these small globules which form about
one-third of the mass of the cream a o
thrown together by tie. churning nnd as
they meet each other adhere nnd form
small granules and these uniting form
pellets or grains, and if rtill longer
churned these gather into one lump.
When the grains are formed the butter
milk saparatcs from thcin and swashc
or splashes in the churn, making a pe
culiar sound, which cTcry one who knows
anything about churning recognizes as
an indication that tho' butter is mndo
and only needs gathering. One. cubic
inch of cream contains about 0,000, ODD,.
000 butter globules. A to York 2'inut.
Fighting Injurious Insects.
Professor A. .T. Cook, of the Mirhirnn
Agrirultuial College, tells when not to
use Earis green: "I would never use
Earis green on fruit that is to bo used
within a few days from tho time tho
po'son is applied. Thus I would never
use it to leuco out the currant slug.
Neither would I uso these arsen
ates on Cabbages. Certainly ' not after
the head has formed, for tho verv
formation of tho vegetable makes
such use dangerous. Again, no ono
should ever 'use or handle these sub
stances with the bare, unprotected hand
especially is this caution necessary in
case oi any abrasion of the skin. Ieg
lcct of this caution resulted in the death
of a very talented young horticulturist
of Indiana some years since. I am free
to say -and I have probably handled
these poisons as much as any ono in tho
country that reasonable caution makes
their use perfectly safe.
In using these arscnites to destroy the
codling moth larva, we at the same time
kill the canker worms, the several species
of leaf rollers that often fairly dig out
the buds in early spring and are very de
structive; the old American tent cater
pillar that flaunts his tent in the or
chardist's fa -e just as the leaves are put
ting out in Slay, and thus in using this
remedy we are killing not simply two,
but several birds with ono stone. I
would also use three insecticides, to
protect against all leaf-eating insects,
where there is no danger. Thus ou
shade nnd ornamental trees that are be
ing defoliated, on fruit vines and trees
enrly iu the season, and on such vegeta
bles as potatoes, melons, etc., where tho
foliage is not use 1 to swell our larders.
It remains to bo enid that as this
poison must be eaten to destroy, it is
impotent against tho plum curculio, as
here Xlio egg is pushed by the mother
weevil through tho poison beyond the
reach of harm. The same is true of all
lice nnd bugs. They do not munch and
chew, but insert their sharp beaks aud
suck the rich juices of the plant. Hence
they can pump the very life out of the
plants, though the latter be thoroughly
coated with Earis green, nnd not even
receive the first gripe of stomach ache."
Rendering Timber Durable.
In a bulletin issued from iho Forestry
Division of the Agricultural Department
ut Washington occurs tho following ad
vice :
Early winter felling (rcccmbcr) has
the preference. Always remove tho bnrk
from felled teinber to nid seasoning, but
not from tho standing tree. If winter
felled, shape tho timber to size within a
fortnight after felling and have it placed
on blocks, away from sun and raiu as
much as possiblo, as it ought not to dry
too rapidly. Surticicntly'thorough sea
soning for most purposes is obtained in
from twelve to eighteen months, while
for special work, according to the size,
from two to ten years is required.
When timber is cut in tho leaf it is
advantageous to let the trees lie full
length until the leaves are thoroughly
withered (two or three weeks) beloro
cutting to size. With conifer this is
good practice at any season, and if it
can be done, all winter-felled trees
should be left lying to leaf out in spring,
by which most of tho sap is worked out
aud evaporated.
Tho best method of obtaining proper
seasoning without costly apparatus in
shorter time is to immerse tho prepared
timber in water, from ono to three
weeks, to dissolve the fermentable mat
ter uearest tho surface. This is best
d nc by running water if such is not at
hand, a bath may be substituted, the
water of which reeds frequent change.
Timber so treated, like raft timber, will
season more quickly and is known to le
more durable.
If practicable the application of boil
ing water or stcum is an advantage iu
leaching out the sap.
Never apply paiut or any other coat
ing to grei-u or unseasoned timber. If
the wood is not well dried or reasoned,
the cont will only hasteu decay.
t;ood cuatiugs consist of oily or resin
ous substances, which make a smooth
coat, capable of being uniformly applied ;
they must cover every part, must not
crack, and possess a certain amount of
plasticity alter drying. Coal-tar, with
or without tand or plaster or pitch,
especially if mixed with oil of turpen
tine and applied hot (thus penetrating
more deeply), answers best. A mixture
of three parts coal-tar uud one part clean,
unsalted grease, to prevent the tar from
drying until it has had time to I'll the
minuts pores, is recommended. Ont
bairel of coal-tar will cover posts.
Wood-tar is not serviceable) because it
dues not dry.
Oil paints are next in value. Boiled
linsteu oil or any other drying vcg
table not animal oils are used with
lead or any other body (like pulverized
charcoal) to give substance. Immersion
iu crude petroleum is also recom
mended. C harriug of those pans which come
into contact w ith the ground can bo con
sidered only as an imperfect preserva
tive, unless a considerable layer of char
coal is formed, and if it is uot carefully
dune thu effect is often detrimental, as
the process both weakens the timber and
produ es ciacks, thus exposing the in
:iiw to ferments:.

The .NMii'oi-.SVioof 7'ime savs: "A pet
theory of tho,e who are unwilling to accept
total abstinence as truest t.'mpernnce in the
line of liquor drinking is that pure wines and
ciiler are comparatively harmless in contrast
with adulterated liquor. Yet there is no
form of drunkenness which has more of
brutality in it than that which is tho resu't
of eider drinking: and from the days of
Noah to the present dav. a man who has
been made drunken by home ma le wine is
likely to be ns disiracefuilv drunken ns if it
wvro strychnine whisky which had brought
him do-vn. Only a few days ago a silk
weaver in Hebron, Conn., murdered his wifo
and two children and then set lire to tho
hous?. He was a Swiss immigrant, snl be
lieved in home made liquors. The telegraph
report reads: "He had half n down barrels of
home made wine and cider in his cellar, and
drinking from these made him crazy and
promoted the murder.' If tho Wood-stained
ashes of his household show the sort of home
made by home made wine and cider, total ab

the truest temperance."

Satisfying a Mnrdcred Indian's
llelntlrex.
If an Indian is killed in a nunrrol his
relatives nro usually appeased by pay
ment. I remember once a fancy, over
bearing young Assinnboino buck came
into the Milk liher Agency and bent
his bow and arrow on tho agont'i pet
dog. The agent warned him if ho shot
thu dog ho would kill tho Indian. Tho
young buck shot his arrow, the agent
killed him. Wo oxpected to have somo
trouble, b it the grief-strl -ken father
camo forward on behalf of the relatives
nnd claimed that, in consideration of thu
young man being such n good ImlTalo
runner, tho ngent must pay for tho h) a
of such n person a red blanket, a piece
of cnlico and four pounds of sugar, lie
complied with their demands, but the
vt-ngeful re'ntives thereafter adopted
him as their banker. The mother and
oilier relatives of the slain young man
s, a ccly ever met the agent without em
bracing him, and with endearing cpiihcts
begging for something more in remem
brance of the good bulfalo runner.

Scotchmen Discuss Our Con'erbonrd.
An cxticmely interesting discussion
took place at tho recent meeting of tho
Institution of Naval Architects, held in
(thiagnw, upon tho subiect of tho ccntor
board. It was stated that experiments
iiiado by Mr. Froudo "proved that tho
leading jiart of a pi ino moving obliquely
through tho water had much greater re
sistance per square foot than the remain
ing part of the p'ano. Tho triangular
ceuterboard of the American yachts,
having a long leading edge, wa most
advantageously placed in this respect,
and its resistance per square foot at a
given speed was much greater than that
of the ship proper, or of any draught sho
could be given, so f arns large yachts are
concerned." Mr. Watson, the designer of
the Thistle, spoke, and maintained thnt
s keel boat would still Le.it a center
boarder. Chi ag UcrM.
