AN ANTISEPTIC SWtT.
noiuriMinff ADont Saccharine, It Virtne
mm Its Probable Future.
After givin": tlie stoiy of the diseor-
eiy or saei lianne by a Gernian ehemist
(FaUberg) at the Johns Hopkins Uui
vereity in Baltimore, Md., it is said
that Mhile it took a long time and niiK-h
hard study to learn flu- philosophy of
its production, it has taken eight years
to reduce the manufacture of it to a
commercial basis. It was formerly
supposed that the physical quality of
sweetness was typified by the carbo-hydrates;
that is, the sugars and those
starches which, by chemical treatment,
are brought into the group. But Fahl
berg's discovery docs away with this
old standard practically and scientifi
cally. It is "j;!0 times sweeter than the
best cane sugar, euual to unitv. What
is more extraordinary, it diners wholly
in inuH:ipiu irom i no caruo-hytlrate
groii) that is, from all other known
sugars in not being susceptible to fer
mentation. Every house-wife knows
how preserved fruit mildews, how jam
molds and how yeast ferments and
spoils. All these operations are
the result of the action of
organisms feeding on the sugar, here
tofore .an inseparable feature of all
sweetening processes. But you can
not produce fermentation in saccharine.
To the contrary, it is powerfully pre
servative a tualily it possesses in com
mon with all (he coal-tar products. Of
this the correspondent says he had
some curious illustrations from the
samples Mr. Salamon had brought w ith
htm in mi Magdelmr"-. Ther
were
strawberries, fu
nstanc-p, put up over
a vear
igo, which had never benn
which
cooked ami which preserved absolutely
their flavor of the garden. The jam
had been boiled, but with the non-fermenting
saccharine there was no boil
ing away, no need of skimming, with
which ordinary sugar involves a loss of
ten per cent. It U not necessary to
speak of other samples. Everv'one
can see what the effect must be, "in all
these lines of nrodueliini. nf Knliutw,,.
jl J v miiuuiii-
ting for ordinary sugars a sweetening
power which can not ferment, and which
is strongly preservative. Another novel
and interesting quality of this newprod
uct is that it is strictly anti-diabetie.
It passes through the system absolutelv
untouched. German " physicians are
making much of this phase of the
discovery, and there has already
been established an independent
factory for the manufacture. of
anti-diabetie biscuits for the use
of the large class of patients to
whom all sweetening has heretofore
been forbidden. An immense factory,
with the best machinery and appli
ances, was started in Magdeburg, Ger
many, in February, cmplovinrr between
two hundred and three hundred work
men, to manufacture saccharine, with a
capital of D00,0U0. The correspondent
says that "of course the principal idea
of the introduction of saccharine, so
far as America's sugar trade goes', is.
that by combination with glucose, a
sugar can be made which will drive
cane sugar to the wall." He was
shown a sample of sugar, composed of
two parts of saccharine and one thou
sand parts glucose, which seemed to
sight and taste to be good enough
sugar. The correspondent goes onlo
speculate upon the new industry and its
cll'cct.s as follows: "If a combination
with saccharine can make a harmless,
non-fermenting, non-crystalizing sugar
out of glucoc, at a cost enabling it to
compete with, not to say drive out,
cane sugar, then clearly a tremendous
and commercial and sectional revolu
tion will be at hand. Buffalo, Peoria
and other centers of the glucose indus
try will have the Uiuisiana and West
Indian trade and the great rcliniii"
works of New York and California at
their mercy. This seems anions tho.
possibilities, to stale the case mildly,
and it is surely worth thinking about."

speare pictures jovial Jack Falstaff as fat,
so every fat man is prejudged as a good

as lean, clammy and cadaverous, yet only
the poor lawyers are thus. Any man
who walks with un erect carriinrc and

the general run of people as proud and
egotistic, but there's just as much ego
tism in nine, uumpy men. 1 know ooets
who don't wear long hair, and preachers
wno uon t wear long faces. People have
formed their ideals of certain nhases of
haracter and appearance from early im-
pressions of individuals who had, or were
Hsupposed to have, the character, and they
never changed it. I insist that all con
spirators are not lean, like Guy Fawkes,
and that the public should Ije warned not

that I did not ak Tennyson to read or

Hardly any one perfectly understands a
poem but the ioet himself." Others
who have heard the i't laureate repeat
his own verses sav tliat he does so in a
sort of rhythmical chant, liis voice main
taining a full, rich monotone, and seldom
rising very much. In later years he has
rid lumself of the inharmonious "falling
inflection."

Weather Proverbs It elating to the Mon.
These are very numerous. Some per
sons suppose that the character of the
weather can lie foretold by the hour of
the day or night when the changes of
me moon occur. Others think that
change of the moon on Saturday is al
ways "followed by a severe storm," and
still others say that "a Friday's' moon
come when it will, comes too soon.
Then, again, it is said if the points of the
new moou are upward there will be dry
weather; while others take the opposite
view ana say it tney point wdeways it
will be dry. But leaving all these and
many others like them, there are a few
proverbs about the moon which may be
worth noting and testing. We give some
ot tnese:
When the moon it visible in the .day
time the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that when
the moon is near the full it never storms,
and the sailors say the full moon eats
clouds.
- f If the fuU ritoon rtac3"fclear expect" One
weather.
- A large ring around the moon and low
clouds indicate ram in twenty-four hours
a small ring and high clouds rain in sev
eral itavs.
Last night the moon had a golden ring,
out to-night no moon I see.
The larger the halo about the moon thp
nearer the rain cloud, and the sooner the
ram may IieFxiiected.
When the moon ia darkest near tl.i
horizon expect rain. .
If the full moon rise pale expect
ram.
A red moon indicates wind.
If the moon is seen between the scud
and broken clouds during a gale it is ex
liectcd to scud away the bad weather.
hi the old of the moon a cloudy morn
ing ixxies a lair afternoon.
If there be a general mist before sun
rise near the full of the moon, the weather
wui oe nne for some days.
The rising or setting of the moon will
lie followed by a decrease of a storm
which is then prevailing. Boston
Journal.
Snake in Mexico.
Some of the islands are absolutely un
explorable, because of the inconceivable
number and variety of the serpents that
infest them. No wonder those early
Indians considered a skirt of woven snakes
the most appropiiate garment for the
Goddess of the Earth! Centuries before
the coming of the Aztecs the poetical peo
ple who inhabited these western shores,
contemplating the azure Pacific, named
the Goddess of Water Chalclnulithcue
"she of the skirts of blue;" and no less
appropriately the tribes of tliis section
called the earth's goddess Chihuacoatl
"she of the skirt of snakes." Other
tribes called her Coatlicurj "the woman
serpent" the Aztec Eve, whose head is
a serpent's, with the breast and linils of
a woman, and whose gown is a web of
snakes adorned with tassels and feathers.
In attempting to explore some of the
islands of Lake Chapala it seemed a3 if
the earth literally wore a "skirt of ser
pents. ' ' The ground swarmed with them,
swayuig and writhing from every bush.
hissing and squirming on every fallen
tree, and rippling tlie water in all direc
tions. It was a question as to wbi;h were
more numerous, the birds above or snakes
below. They tell us that as soon as tlie
spring birds reappear there is a great gath
ering of snakes below and hawks above,
The latter literally cover the trees, and
whenever hunger dictates they make a
dash at the tired little creatures who
have settled iqion the islands after their
annual return from some unknown re
gion. If a bird escape the hawks and
seek to refresh liimself with a drink, in
the twinkling of an eye he is swallowed
by one of tlie greedy serpents that lie in
wait for him at the water's edge. Cor.

Menagerie Animals Insane.
A Brooklyn physician tells me that all
the animals in Barnum's menagerie, and
in every other menagerie for tliat matter,
are insane. Not howling, roaring, biting
mad, but simply off their mental bases.
He says that no animal accustomed to the
free range of woods and hills can be
cooped up in a cage for more than two or
three months without going to pieces in
tellectually, and maundering around his
cage in an aimless manner, paying little
attention to anytliing but his feed. For
snakes, croccodiles and that sort of cold
blooded creatures, confinement is not irk
some; they obtain their provender with
out hustling for it, and that suits them
to a dot. Some kinds of birds, too, find
imprisonment a natural condition, for
they and their ancestors for many gener
ations were lorn in cages and never knew
lilx rty. But with strong and active ani

Queeu Victoria Not Popular.
Tlie queen is not popular. Very few
Ieople know anything about her. I do
not lielieve that 13 per cent, of the 'people
of London have ever seen her. She lives
such aretired life that she is rarely taken
into consideration in connection with
public questions. Sle appears to have
very little symjiathy with English people
and to be as foreign at heart as if she
had always lived on the continent. This
is shown whenever she goes over to the
continent for a change. She is quite an
other person when she is over there.
Tlie Trench people are delighted with
her and the French papers are filled with
glowing accounts of her popularity at
Aix-les-Bains. When she is on the con
tinentshe goes out and mixes with people
and slpws herself everywhere on all pub
lic occasions. But inEngland she shuts
herself up like a recluse and only with
great difficulty can be ixrsuaded to spend
two or llirec weeks in London during the
year. London Cor. New York World.

THE ART OF EMBALMING.
How Itmlles of the Id Art JVeMrred
Tor Future C: Alterations. .
Said a rejiortr to a prominent under
taker the other day; "I suppose this
warm weather will cause you to get out
your refrigerators:"
"Well, it would a few years ago, but
now, you know, we never use ice for pre
serving a body except in a few cases
where the friends or relatives object to
our embalming it."
h"That is more expensive, though, ia- it
"Oh, no; the cost is about the eamc
and the trouble is much less. Now, you
see, in using ico we have a big box to
carry around, and where we hav three
or four cases at the same time we would
be obliged to liave several coolers, but by
the new way of preserving here is all we
have to carry," and he laid his hand on
what looked like a sample case, such as
is ordinarily can ied by a liquor salesman.
On opening the case it born a utriUnir
resemblance to a' surgeon's case, except
that on one side there were three quart
bottles filled with milky looking fluids.
Tlie instruments consisted of a small
knife, a lancet such as is used by physi
cians in "tapping," and a syringe with a
great variety of nozzles. "This," said tlie
undertaker, picking up tho syringe, "is
the principal thing used, and the nozzles
are used in just as many ways as there
arc nozzles. Now we use this nozzle when
we do not intend to do a regular job of
embalming, but simply to preserve the
body a day or two, and it is used for
injecting the fluid into the stomach. Tliis
is for a hypodermic injection, this for a
vein, this for an artery and this is used
for what we call inrlatintr. That is. if the
person lias Iwen sick a long time and is
very thin in the face, we insert tin's in
the face under the ear and force a certain
nuia mto the face to give it a round ap
pearance."
"Then I understand tliat it is not neces
sary to fill the veins and arteries in order
to preserve a body for a few days?"
"Not by any means. Of course it Att-
Iiends very much on the, condition of the
body when Riven into our hands, but or
dinarily wo inject into the stomach and
intestines and into the head through the
nose and ears. In a thorough job, where
the body has to le kept a number of davs
in warm weather, we fill the arteries, and
in case of the sudden death of a vigorous
person we usually have to draw out the
blood first. This we are obliged to do
while the both- is warm, but we do not
inject the cmlialming fluid till the animal
warmth has left the body."
-now long will a body retain its natural"
appearance that lias been thoroughly
treated?"
"I can hardly say, All the way from
one year to ten or even more, and I ex-
liecc it i embalmed a body just to see
how long I could keep it, it would keep
till it was destroyed by outside agencies.

Monkeys as Track Inspectors. "
Near a place called Niddivunda there is
a large tojio which is well known to be
infested with a host of monkeys, llavina
I no otlier inode of occupying their dull
nours, they are bent upon trying to de
stroy the railroad track on the Tambut
line. It would appear that these animals,
alxiut fifty or sixty, form themselves intc
two companies; they range themselves
systematically, one-half on one rail and
the other half on the other. They begin
by first removing the earth from tlie
sides of the rails. Then they arrivo at
the difficulty of nuts and bolts, which,
though they examine them very minutely,
they cannot get over. On the approach
of the up or down train, they will wait
till the engine is within a few yards,
when, with the utmost coolness, they
simply jump on one side till the train has
passed, and then resume their work.
A remarkable instance occurred on one
of these occasions. As an engine was ap
proaching, tlie monkeys made their usual
jumps, with the exception of one, who
persisted in remaining on the line, the
engine by this time being very near. Five
or six monkeys, seeing the danger one of
their number was in, made a sudden rush
and dragged him off, some laying hold of
liitn by the tail, others by the legs; they
saved him. They are "now styled the
Niddivunda gangmen by the guards and
drivers. The Christian at Work.

They say that a violinist can detect a
rare instrument by its tone, which can

of the breast underneath the bridge. The
purchaser looks only at the thickness of
the wood, indicated by the f . f . In Jes,
and the tones being responsive will lead

Salt as a Medicine.
There is the highest medical authority
for the statement that there is notlung
better than common salt for any ordinary
inflammation of the throat, mouth, or
nasal passages. Dissolve a dessert spoon
ful in a coffee cup, and gargle the solu
tion, or snuff it up the nose until it comes
out into tlie backmouth. Repeat two or
three times a day until cured.
Dr. Tliackeray, of . PbiladelpMa, has
found tliat salt Ls effective in the most
violent attacks of erysipelas, and, more-
over, leaves no unsightly scars behind.
He uses a saturated solution that is as
strong as it can be made and simply
keeps the parts covered with a cloth wet
it. At the same he cools tlie system with
a dose of Ejisom salts, mixed with lemon
juice, and orders a light farinaceous diet.
