And thon, remember, you bavs to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel barrow or act of hooka, digging dlkhe or diting a pnpor, ringing an auction bell or writing funny thing, you must work. If you look around you, you will see that the men who aro most able to live the rest of their live without work ar the men that work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself with work. It i beyond your jiower to do that, lieu cannot work to hnrd as tlmt on th sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it' because they quit work at 6 p. in, and don't go homo until 'i a. in. It' the Interval that kills. Work gives an aptite for meals; it lends solidity to the slumbers; it give the appreciation of a boliilny. There are men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It due not even know their name; it limply seaks of them aa old Ko-and-Ho's boys. Nobody likes them, nobody baU them; the great, busy world doesn't even know that they are there, bo find out whut you want to be and do, take off your hat and make a dust in the world The buiiiur you are the less deviltry you will be apt to get Into,- the sweeter will be your lee), the brighter and happier your holl duyi, and the better satlsHed will the world be with you. liurllngton Hawkey.

Adulteration of Olive nil, Cottonseed oil enters even more largely into tho adulteration of olivo oil than of lard, of which, as now nut iiiion the market, it constitutes fully 40 ier cent., according to Mr. Fuirlianks' recent testimony. The relln ingof cottonseed oil is now carried to great nerfection, and so clear is the color tuus lu sured that in using it for the adulteration of olive oil there is no longer uny reddish tint to indicate iu pr.wmce, which can only be proved by chemical unulysis. The extent of this admixture is sometime found to reach and oven exceed 75 iter cent. One mode of readily testing for this udiilteration is by the use of nitric protoxide of mercury, the yel low simple basic suit of this chemical combi nation being employed. Alxnit one-seventh to one-sixth of uu ounce of this is dissolved in a cylindrical test gloss iu about one-sixth to one -fifth of uu ounce of nitric acid. On this solutiou tho oil to be tested poured in such quantity that the test glass li about two thirds full; tbe two uuius aretuen shaken together for about flvo seconds, tbe changed in color being at once noticed. Treated in this solution cottonseed oil be comes dark bnxvu or utmost black, but after ashorttimo tho solution becomes colorless and clear, l'uro olivo oil has a greenish or light yellow tinge, while tho solution under the layer of oil assumes a dark red or brown color. Mixed with 50 per cent, of cottonseed oil the olive oil assumes in this process a brick red to a browish red tinge, and a mixture of 25 per cent, makes orange yellow to red yel low. Chicago Jews. In the Cape Colony Parliament. Tho majority of both houses are Dutch, and many of them understand English very imperfectly. They are elected by ballot, ac cording to the luw of the colony, in the vil- lago in which they live, and as they are chosen accordiug to their popularity "good old fellows," very little opposition offered. Many of these old fellows come to Cain Town to sit iu parliament after days and days of travel over the "vellt" in their "togt" wagons, drawn by fourteen oxen. In some cases these wngnus are staked out in the market square of the city, and afford dwelling place in which the owner's family lives, and to which he returns nightly to I rosl BIUr u,g anJ 8 1 wresuiug wiui ins ancient; enemy, iue .iikmu. During a sitting of parliament many of these Dutch members become tired and weary and drop off to sleep; others sit with their eyes ami mouths wide open, trying keep track of what is going on. When vote is taken, however, ail are wide awake, and all vote the same way L e., on the Dutch side of the question. Notwithstand ing this claiiiiislincss among the Dutch, the English generally manuge to pas. such laws an they wish, and practically control government matters. One might think from this that the opportunity for hitense corrup tion existed, but such a thing as corruption in office has never been known. The law are well framed and perfectly executed.
