The marvelous procesee by which the wand of the plantar king is transmuted into rich casks of snow white or golden tugur, by means of steam boilers, strain era, vacuum pans, mixers and centrifu gain, has been dicri!id many timet over, and la a thing not to be dune by a novice without abuhing and misus ing technical terms. Tlie raw Juice ia a dark, dirty looking liquid, a hideout gray in color. As it undergo all the scientific processes of the moot approved method of tugnr making, it run a abort chromatic iiculo In color, changing from gray to a green ish brown and then to thadcs of red-yellow, and finally emerging from the cen trifugal like drift of now, white, fine and beautiful to look upon.

It is thrown out In heaps behind the sugar house, whence it is used as a fertilizer, but as it lies there it takes on a most royal robe of mold, showing exquisite, brilliant salmon and rose and bronze green hues, something, I should funcy, that would run a micro coplst mad with delight and curiosity. Catharine Cole in New Orleans Picayune. The Schoolboy's Cold Lunch. Another evil is the cold lunch which must be taken by most of the children, for the hour's intermission at noon scarcely Allows even those residing near the school to go home, dine and return. Every housekeeper knows how diflcult it is to provide variety in cold lunches. Children often take the same things to school day after day, till they tire of them. Food which has been done up in a tin box, or wrapped in napkins, ia not apt to look, or smell, or taste very nice. The child is not tempted, and its noon meal, which should be the principal one of the day, is made a poor and light one. Perhaps it is eked out with pickles, tweets and cakes of doubtful composition, purchased at the catch penny store al ways to be found near a school house. If during the winter months an inter mission of an hour and a half or even of two hours were given, at is done in many Swiss and German schools, niost of the children could go home and tuke the hot, nourishing midday meal which many doctors consider necessary to health. E. M. Hordinge in The Epoch. A Japanese Dinner Party. The etiquette of a Japanese dinner party la rather entertaining. As soon as the guest are seated on the mats, two, and sometimes three, small low tables are brought to each. On the one immediately in front of him the guest ilnds seven little covered bowls. On the second tuhle will be five other bowls The third, a very small table, should hold three bowls. Take up the choisticks with the right hand, remove the cover of the rice bowl with the same hand, transfer it to the left, and place it to the left of the tulle. Then remove the cover of the bean soup and place it on' the rice cover. Next take up the rice bowl with the right hand, pass it to the left, and eat two mouthful with the choticks, and then drink once from the soup bowl. And so on with the other dishes never omitting to eat some rice between each mouthful of meat, fish and vegetables, unless you forget which is your mouth and which is your right hand, or have become so giddy that you cannot tell your left hand from a chopstlck or your rice bowl from your third table. Chicago Newt, An Enormous Appetite. Joel Parker, the Democratic- ex-gov. rnor of New Jersey, who died recently, weighed 800 pounds, and there is little doubt that his death was hastened by his enormous appetite. He always grutilled his tastes to the uttermost, and never stopped to inquire whether an article of food was good for him or not. He wot the wonder of the waiters at every hotel and restaurant where be dined. He inva riulily went twice through the bill of fare. He was the hist to finish at a din ner, yet so admirable seemed his diges tion that after out eating all the other guests he could moke a capital siieoch, full of unctuous humor and sound com mon sense. ' He drank very little, water being hit favorite beverage, and there fore his head was always clear, even if his stomach was overloaded. Chicago Newt. Overpowering a Superstitious Welter. A traveler, obtained a satisfactory breakfast at a southern hotel in an inge nious manner. Having called for differ ent items on the bill of fare with the un failing result of hearing "ull gone, sail," be fixed a Stem look upon the colored waiter and exclaimed In deep tones: "IX) you know where you will go when you die?" The waiter trembled, and did not reply, but he turned away, and with dis patch brought out a smoking breakfast of chicken and oilier features of a good meal. It seems that he luul reserved these delicacies for himself, but had been touched by superstition to produce them for the traveler. Chicago Times, , Kderln Arnold Knighted.

"Let me Introduce you to the Hello denna borrfdum," sold C. K. (illes, the State street Jeweler, pointing to a glaat case which stands In a conspicuous po sition In his wholesale department. The object referred to by tuch a reso nant title was a little mass of black and gold beads stretched on one corner of the case on a heap of sawdust Pres ently the mass became movable, a leg stretched Itself out at one end, and the hello, etc., stood revealud as one of the largest lizards ever hatched. The animal is about sixteen Inches In length and of genuine FalHtnffian girth. The skin Is covered with beautifully shaped scales, and, like Jacob't ewes, spotted and ring streaked. The shape of the tpoU is wonderfully regular, bearing a strong resemblance to the black and gold wall paper of a dado. The tail Is long and thicker than that of most lizards. Round it run three or four rings of gold. The bead Is broad and Hut, with protuberances which conceal the tiny eyes when viewed from above. "You are not obliged to coll lilm Hellodenna horridumall the time, "sold Mr. Giles. "Soma people call lilm Helioderma suspectum and other the Gila monster. I call him Tommy. Here, Tommy. " Mr. Giles clutched the reptile affec tionately between bis finger and thumb and sat him on the floor. He moved lulsurelv and digiiitiedly as if he were at home on the sands of Arizona.

The eight hour day hue no charm for Tommy. He only asks for three montiis sleep, and then he Is ready to enjoy himself for the rest of tho year. When he Is at home he Is the subject of more hair ralsiug tales than any beast of bis dimensions, but Mr. Giles will not even concede the fact that he possesses a drop of poison In his whole anatomy.

"Perpendicular." A Cambridge student once told me that the parties which the dons gave the undergraduates were called "Per pcndiculars" by the latter, because the young men never dared to sit down for fear of offending their high mightinesses the dons, nor did they venture to speak unless spoken to. 1 have never visited Cambridge, but not long ago I was at a perpendicular In New York and felt with terror that this was the coming vogue.

But if the object is an hour's pleasant Intercourse with other human beings, then, in the name of common sense, let us talk to one another. The conversation at teas and parties lias never been noted for brilliancy, but anything Is better than suspicious or supercilious silence. By It we reflect on the entertainer's Judgment in the choice of friends, and never should we cast such a doubt on hit selection of ourselves. Harper's Bazar. Prloe of Paper In Huston nud New York. The proper way to buy writing paper Is by the pound. It Is always sold in that way hi tho east, and the result Is a saving of something over 60 per cent to the purchaser, while the dealer makes still a prollt large enough for him to live and conduct his business in the most substantial imuiner. "Bund" pa pers and "Overland mail" papers are uheaer purchased by the pound than Inferior paper by the quire. The best quidity of bond paper sold in Boston is only ninety cents a pound, and a pound contains 110 sheets, or over six quires o( paper. Tho same paper Is sold at fifty cents and more a quire in New York city. It seems impossible that this dif ference should exist, but it does, and it pays to send to Boston for letter paper and pay the expressoge here, in spite of the Increase in the rates of express.

London advices say that the strikes of dock lalwrers and other employes about the Caron and Hermitage wharves, Wap ping, is showing signs of collapsing. Tlie greatest trades union, the Amal gamated Engineers, having an executive department in Great Britain America and Australia, Is about to reorganize. The Argentine Republic has sold to Baron llirsch 1,000 square miles in the province of Chnco for a Hebrew colony, die price paid was 1,000 gold pesos per mile. The chief rabbis have ordered prayers in behalf of Russian Jews to be deliv ered in all Knglish synagogues at the beginning of the season of fasting and prayer. The Chinese coolies imported by the land barons of Eastern Prussia to re place the emigrated peasants have re fused to do the hard work imposed on them, and have gone on a strike. A wave of hysterical religion is pass ing over some parts of France. A num ber of Protestant peasants are traveling with tents, preaching the end of the world, bareheaded and with naked feet. The effect of the strikes on the port of London alone is shown very clearly this year by a diminution of 501 vessels en tering inward, which is a lost of 18 per cent, and ran be attribnted to no other cause at all. The criticisms of the London Timn on the poor financial condition of Italy have stirred up the press of that coun try, the gravamen of the offense having apparently been found in the fact that the charges are true.

' While the question is being considered whether our abandoned farms shall be al lowed to izrow up to forests or lie peopled with Hottentots, as a well-known orator has put it, it is well to he prepared for either case. There are many places where the farmers' greatest care is to keep the bushel from overrunning their farms, and farmer iu such localities will not appreciate lectures on forestry. Rut where farms are well cleared up and a certain portion set apart for a wood lot from necessity, and it ia desired to get as much as possible from tlie given area, there is much that may be done to ad vantage. All trees which have fallen should be picked up and used lfore they are worthless, and crooked trees which aro crowding others should be re moved. Stock should be kept out to save the seedings and sprouts, and mucii may be saved by a little care while work' inir mnomr the voumt trees. But in manv cases, especially in young pines that are" to be saved for timber, there is much work done that is worse than useless. Such trees should never he thinned out unless they are too thick for a man to walk among them. The value of timber depends on its length, straiuhtness and freedom from knot Where a green limb is cut olf a knot re mains. Where the limb dies and drops nir nnliinillv the knot disanoears. and we find clear lumber ; if small pines are cut away so as to give each one that is left the space it should occupy, when mature they will produce too many side branches, which will necessitate con tinual pruning of green limbs. A pine growing by itself in open land will spread out as much as au apple tree, and while by pruning a descent-looking log may lie made of its trunk, it will not produce clear lumber unless the young branches are clipped off each year. These facts, which any one may observe, should con vince owners of lota that there is sucu a thing as doing too much, and that some of nature's plans are well enough as they are. ; - 1 . rnaturlnir Fields. We wish some of the men who so stromzlv object to lettimr cattle run in mowing fields in the fall would just take a walk over their pasture now before the snow comes and see if some of their care for the grass in mowing fields could not be exercised to good advantage else where. They will find the grass gnawed e ose 10 me uroumi noiiumr leu ior a mulch to enrich the toil, protect the roots or hold the snow from blowing off. Yet these pastures are expected to sup port the stock about seven moiitns 01 the year without anv return for the ele ments which are taken away, and many of them cannot be plowed and reseeded, as the fields can. There is an extreme to te avoided in pasturing fields, but the result are not as disastrous and hard to overcome as the result of abusing the pastures as many pastures are abused. Some men think they are cood farmers if thev can iret two tons of hay per acre on a few acres in sight from the road, even if the pastures fall so the cattle have to be fed at the barn in September. , ' Notes. . Ponltry manure is one of the lieet ma terials that can be used to enrich the straw berry bed. Scatter evenly and work well Into tlie suriace. cut straw, lodder or bagasse make a good mulch for plant of all kinds. They need not to be cut shorter than two inches when used for this purpose. One of the most difficult weeds in the garden to eradicate is pussaline. After a good shower it can be pulled up read' iiy,and this isagood way ol killing it oat. Asparagus.
