lam a farmer at Edoin, Texas. I
have used German Syrup for six
years successfully for Sore Throat,
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in
Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of
Blood. I have tried many kinds of
Cough Syrups in my time, but let
me say to anyone wanting such a
medicine—German Syrup is the best.
We are subject to so mauy sudden

A CHOCOLATE FACTORY.
WHAT COCOA IS AND HOW IT IS
MADE.
The Raw Product Comes From Veil
ezurla and is of Many I>iflcrcnt
Kinds—Cocoa Butter.
THE biggest chocolate factory
in this country is in New
( 9 °f the beans in a year. They
are not at all pretty to look at. From
their appearance one would never sup
pose that such delicious preparations
could be made from them. Most of
them come from Venezuela. The con
cern described ordinarily keeps in
stock as many as fifteen different kinds
of them. Varieties differ so much in
quality that prices paid for them run
all the way from fifteen cents to
feventy-five cents a pound raw. Fine
chocolates are made from a mixture of
i no different sorts of beans in carefully
adjusted portions, a few pounds of the
best in each hundredweight contribut- j
ing flavor.
The broken chocolate kernels, duly I
mixed, are poured into a hopper 011
the seventh floor. They fall through
a metal tube all the way down to the '
first floor of the building. There they I
drop into a machine which grinds I
them between two great steel disks !
revolving horizontally in the fashion 1
of a mill. From this mill they come !
out by a spout—not dry any longer, j
but in the form of a thick liquid. This
is because the beans contain forty-fi 70 j
percent, of oil. The cells holding the
latter are broken by the grinding 1
process, and the oil liquefies the pow
dered substance.
The processes by which the beans
are transformed into commercial choc
olate are very interesting. To begin
with, they are roasted. Then they are
broken in a mill, coarsely. Next,
they aro sifted. . The shells separated 1
from the kernels" by sifting are sold for !
half a cent a pound to wholesale gro
cere, who grind them up to adulterate
pepper with. Incidentally to the game
process the vegetative germs of the i
bonne are removed. It is desired to
get rid of them because they are too !
hard to be utilized to advantage ; but
they are purchased by manufacturers !
of cheap candies for making a poor
-luality of chocolate. Each germ looks j
somewhat like a little clove. All of this 1
work is performed on the seventh floor I
of the fnctory.
The chocolate beans are called
"cocoa beans." The liquid stuff, some- i
what thicker than molasses, is termed
"cocoa." It is transformed into the |
chocolate of commerce Bimply by add- 1
ing sugar. It is commonly imagined
t hat cocoa is made from the shells of
the beans, hut such a notion is ab
surd. What cocoa is really will be i
presently explained. The liquid stuff (
is transferred to a circular receptacle !
on which huge rollers go round. Then
( sugar is put in. Tho rollers mix the
cocoa liquid and the sugar thoroughly
together. When this has been done
tho mixture is passed through other
machines with rollers revolving against
each other. It goes through them j
again and ngain, until it is so finely di
! vided that there is not tho smallest '
j lump in it. Now it is iiuished and has
morely to be cooled in molds in the re
frigerating room in order to be readv
for sale.
Commercial cocoa is exactly the
same tliiug as chocolate, without any
sugar, and with two-thirds of the oil
taken away. Honce, in a dry state,
it has little more flavor than so much
dust. By subjecting tho liquid stuff to
pressure the oil is squeezed out of it. j
Of tho original forty-live per cent, of
! oil thirty per cent, is extracted, lenv-
I ing only fifteen per cent. This oil is
caught in tubs. It is clear and lim
pid—almost as transparent as water.
Poured into molds it hardens when
| cold, and is thus turned out in the
; shape of great cakes of a yellowish
j white color. These cakes are sold to
apothecaries and other dealers. Thev
I are pure "cocoa butter." To a great :
extent this soothing and deliciouslv I
' fragrant substance has taken the place I
lof -the old fashioned cold cream. It is j
admirable for sun-burned noses and 1
for chapped hands. In South America j
the natives have recoguized its virtues !
for many centuries.
Cocoa butter, obtained from the j
chocolate factories, is sold by the ton
wholesale. It is a useful and profit
able by product of this sort of manu- '
facture. But how about the cocoa? j
It comes out from the pressing appa
ratus in the form of dry cakes. These
are reduced to powder beneath rollers, :
aud the powder is then sifted through
cloth to an impalpable dust. Now it
is ready for market and is poured into
a machine which fills cans with it auto- j
matically. The cocoa butter is put to
another use. Some of it is added to |
the chocolate that is employed for
coating creams aud other candies, be
causes it makes the flavor richer. The
chocolate tablets for nickel-in-the-slot
machines are made in molds and set in
the refrigerating room to harden.
Some people make a sort of tea out of
cocoa beans and recommend it highly.
The factory described uses most of i
its chocolate in making candies and j
the greater part of that for coating
creams and nuts. The way in which
tha creams are made is very odd. A
shallow tray of wood is filled with |
finely sifted flour. Upon the smooth
surface of this is laid down a bourd,
the under side of which is covered I
with excrescences in whatever shapes
may bo desired. The board being re
moved perfect molds of the excres- ;
cences are left in the flour. A num- I
ber of such trays of molds having been j
provided, the workman goes along j
with a cone of canvas filled with j
"cream," which is simply sugar and
water boiled and flavored. At the I
point of the cone is a small coppev !
spout, through which the operator !
squeezes enough cream into each mold j
r t Ito fill the latter. Now it only remains
for the stuff to harden, and the trays
! are dumped into a aifter, thusseparat
s ing the molded cream drops from the
' Hour.
I The cream drops next, pass into the
,- hands of a young woman with deft
t I fingers, who drops them one after an
j other into a copper pot filled with hot
j chocolate. As she fishes them out
v j again she places them in rows upon
H ; sheets of waxed paper, which cover
' rectangular pieces of tin. To each one
j ; she gives a final touch, as she sets it
_ ; down, by a twirl of her fingers, which
H j makes a sort of curlycue of chocolate
jon the top of it. To do this properly ■
. requires great dexterity, though one
J would imagine that the entiro process !
, ! was extremely simple and easy. It, is 1
j just the same if peppermints are to be
j chocolate-coated, or niarslimallows or
( j nuts. When finished in this manner
the lollipops are placed, tin trays and
•; all, upon shelves in a sort of cabinet
jon rollers. Here each trayful is care
| fully inspected by the foreman, who
j must see that every sugar plum isper
j feet.—Washington Star.
The Spanish Bull.
1 | The bulls used for fighting purposes
are a specially-selected, specially-eared-
I for class. They are all pedigreed.
1 j Andalusia is especially tho district of
1 | tho bull. Here, at the ago of one year,
the young bulls are separated from the
, heifers, branded with the owner's
i mark, and turned out loose on the
• plains to graze with others of their
owii age.
I When a year older, the young bulls
! are gathered together, in order that
I their mettle and lighting qualities may
be. tested. One of them is separated
from the herd, and chased by a man
on horseback, who, by the skillful use
of a blunted lance, overthrows the
escaping bull, whereupon another rider
comes in front of the animal with a
j sharper lance, to withstand tho ex
pected attack. If the bull, on regain
ing his feet, attacks the rider twice, it
is passed as a lighting animal; but if
he turns tail and runs off, then it is
| set aside to be killed, or to be used in
agricultural work. And so with each
animal, until the whole herd of two
year-olds have been tested.
Each bull that has stood the test
successfully is then entered in the herd
book, with a description of its appear
ance, and receives a name—such as
' Espartero, Hamenco, and the like.
This process of careful selection goes
on from year to year until the bull is
five years old, when, should its mettle
still prove true, it is ready for the
arena, and flaming posters appear on
the walls of Madrid or Seville an
nouncing that Espartero (or whatever
his name is) will on such and such a i
date make its first and final appear- I
a uce.
A good "warrantable" five-year-old
bull for the fighting rings cost from
$350 to S4OO.
Depth of the Ocean.
A dispatch from Victoria, British
; Columbia, says the United States
' steamer Albatross reports having made
| deep-sea soundings oil the coast of
| Alaska, reaching a depth of 4500
I fathoms, which, it is uddcd, is "the
j greatest depth ever reached." If by
that is meant the deepest soundings
ever made in any OCCHII there must be
a mistake in the figures reported or the
claim is not correct. The depth of
'20,000 feet has been exceeded three
times. In what is called the "inter
national deep," near the island of St.
Thomas, one of the West Indies, inde
i pendent, soundings were inndo by
! American and English officers and a
I depth of 27, 300 feet established. In
j 1874.the British ship Challenger found
a depth of 27,450 feet near the La
drone Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and
in the same year the United States
ship Tuscarora, under command of
Captain George E. Belknap, sounded
to the depth of 27,980 feet near tho
Kurile Islands in the North Pacific.
This is the lowest point yet reached,
being over five and one-fourth miles,
or nearly equal to the height of the
Himalayas. In the days before scien
tific deep-sea soundings there were re
ports of depths of 7000 to 8000 fath
oms having been reached, but these
are now conceded to have been
apocryphal. The Tuscarora's record
of 4561 iathorns stands without a rival
us yet.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Deer Cauglil lor the Calskill Park,
Speaking of the results of his at
tempts to capture deer for the Oats
kill Park, Game Warden Fox said to
an Albany (N. Y.) Argus reporter:
"We employed a littlo different
method from any of those hitherto
known to get the deer. After they
were driven in the lake a boat would
put out, and, after firing two shots as
a signal for help from the other forest
ers, the men would row up and slip a
sort of noose made by twisting to
gether two Y-like branches at the end
of a pole over the head of tho swim
ming doe. In this way it could bo
held till help arrived. Then the men
in the second boat turned it on its
back and tied all four feet together,
lifted it out on a boat, and there it
was secure aud unharmed.
"I do not know just how many will
be sent down altogether, but I think
there will be a herd of at least sixty
five in the Catskill reserve, aside from
the three dozen or so now loose in the
woods. Tli is is the breeding season,
and although it is not a fact, as many
suppose, that does always bear twin
fawn, though they generally do, I ex
pect to find about ninety or a hundred
•leer in that park next spring. At this
rate it will not be long before there
will be plenty of deer in the Catskills
again."
those twelve does were shipped
through Albany via the National Ex
press, in orates, and will be placed ir
the park at once.

Was fought in the hearts of men.
Not with tho sounding of trumpets,
Nor clashing of sabers drawn.

All day the tight went on.

That had com" by silent marches
Frouvtho lullaby land of tno past.

Driving bofhro it, like arrows,
Tho children of sweet content.
And momories odd and olden
Camo up through tho dust of years,
And hopes that woro glad and golden j
Wore met by a host of fears.
And tho heart grow worn and weary
And said • "Oh, can it bo

You are making to-day for mo?"
For tho heart itself wus tho <rophy
And prize of this wavering light!

Furnishing tho Kitchen.
Few women are strong enough to
keep a bare Moor properly scrubbed,
and a carpet absorbing the odors ami
greases of cooking is an abomination,
Lheiefore it is a good plan to buy
lir6wn oilcloth for the kitchen floor,
as it shows wear lesi rapidly than
other colors, and blends better with
the woodwork, writes Helen Jay, in
un article on "Furnishing a Modern
Home," in the l adles' Home Journal.
To he sure this seems like a little
thing, but attention to details is an
tssential in the harmonious evolu
tion of a home. In buying this oil
cloth tlie housewife's labors will be
lessened if enough more be bought to
cover the closet floors.
Few kitchens are commodious—for
this reason a flap tabic, which, when
not in use, can be folded up and fast
ened against the wall, is a positive
boon. If not obtainable In tlie shops,
one can be easily made by taking a
dressmaker's stationary cutting board
as a model. The top of this table
should be covered with white marble
doth, and if the closet shelves are
covered with the same material they
ran more easily he kept clean anil
iwect. Besides this table two chairs
re needed for the kitchen. They
iliould be made entirely of wood, as
cane seats are treacherous things and
i'e pairing them exoensive work,
email cooking utensds are kept in
better condition if hung.
A wide painted hoard, made after
the model of the small keyracks sold
in fancy shops, can be huDg by means
of picture books fastened in the top
edge back of the table. On it small
books, such as are used by upholster
ers, can be screwed In rows. There
Is no better harbor for knives, sp' ons
and small tinware. Back of the sink
should hang the dishpan, soaprack
and small scrubbing broom. The
ordinary kitchen has two or three
closets. It simplifies the work to de
vote each of these to a deflnito pur
pose. For instanco, in one place the
Ironing-board, irons, etc.; in another
everything used in baking, and In tho
third the paraphernalia of ordinary
work.

The Chinese are very parttcolei
about lucky colors. They like Kng<
lish sewing-needles, but will not buy
many of them because they are wrap
ped up in black paper—black being
an unlucky color. A business-man
developed a very good trade In print*

continued good until he commenced
printing his calendars on green pa
der, when his trade fell off. He then
discovered that green was an un
lucky co'or.
