Chapin's s1ode OF Manufacturing Sal.

CnaplE'b houe OF ahnuIacVu-luB Bait.
Nathan Chaplin of Il. Saginaw, "A gem
tleman who has devoted much time to
investigation and experiment in re-
regard to the best and most economi-
cal mode of manufacturing pure ar
ticle OF salt, has patented block and
process which is being received with
considerable favor in Saginaw Valley.
The block or apparatus consists Of
two largo graining pans, with drain
ing racks upon each side and pump
log over the centre between them dis
charging its brine into the two boiling
boxes, over submerged furnaces in
front. The pans are placed upon the
heated brine in vats under them (one
vat under each PAN and sit partly
down into them 50 as to receive sup
ply Of brine upon them about three

as it is evaporated to salt and raked
out upon the draining racks. The
under apartment beng supplied with
brine from the boiling boxes i'll front
us fast as the rump-iog supplies 1t to
them, So that the operation is carried
Oh without stopping to get oil latehes,
and if soundly constr uctcd there is no
cause for stopping ut all in eight
nonths, or the whole season of opera
ton. The so-called bitter water is
discharged through orificos III the front

the brine reduced fron it by evapora-
ton to salt before reaching the front.
The other impurities are formed into
muddy substance aud precipitated
to the bottom Of the under vat by

it is made pure.

forming part Of their bottoms, and
intersect smoke chimney in the rear.
Tho main feature Of economy claim
ed by the inventor, in this process
consists in retaining tire entire heat In
tho brine, and spreading it ost to
great extent under the pans bciuie it
is transmitted through their bottoms
into the evaroratiny portion OF tho
heated brine, which more than ton-
pensates for not keeping UP the boil
my after it is reduced to saturation III
the boiling boxes over the furnaces.
In this process no lime Of alum is
required to settle the brine; small
quantity of butter is used for granting
the salt.

Weight OF People.

The average returns show that
citizen of the world, OH the first day
of appearance in public, weighs about
six pounds and half; boy baby o
little more, girl baby little less. =
Some very modest babies hardly turn
the scale with two pounds and u half,
while other preteEtious youngsters
boast OF ten and eleven pounds
When Shylock asked for his "pound
of flesh" he asked for an equivalent
to little less than one sixth Of
baby. How the tiny ones grow during
childhood, W. need not trace here; but
it may be interesting 10 know that
girls aud boys Of twelve years of age
are nearly equal in weight; after which
limit, males are heavier than the fc-
males of the same age. Young men
of twenty average hundred and
forty-threo pounds each, while the
young women of twenty average
hundred and twenty pounds. Men
reach their heaviest bulk at about
thirty-fve, when thor average weight
is about a hundred and fifty-two
pounds but the women slowly fatten
until fifty, when their average is
hundred and twenty-nine pounds
Men and women together, their weight
at full growth averages almost ten
stones, or hundred and forty pounds
Full grown men and women average
about twenty times as heavy as they
were on the first day Of their existence.
or course averages are here only
meant. The averages were formed
f.om men ranging from hundred
and eight to two hundred and twenty
pounds, and women from eighty-eight
to two hundred and seven pounds

taking all ages and conditions, mobiles,
clergy, tinkers, tailors, wives, maidens,

AS. "A youhb wow LIB" hh"ih-
ma, on the important occasion of max
ing her little boy his first pair of coll
orcd trousers, conceived the idea that
it would be more economical to make
them of the same dimensions behind
and before, So that they might be
changed about and wear evenly; and
50 she fashioned them. Their effect,
when donncd by the little victim, was
ludicrous in the cxtrcme. Papa Mt

How to Succeed.

Take earnestly hold of life, as ca
pacitated f,r, and destined to high
and noble purpose and end. Study
closely the minds bent for labor or u
profession. Adopt some pursuit carly,
follow it steadily, never looking back
ward to the turned iurrow, but always
forward to the new ground that ever
remains t. DO broken. Means and
ways are abundant to every mans
success, if will ahd action are rightly
adapted to them. Our rch men and
our great men, have carved their paths
to fortune and fame 10y this rule = Il
rule that cannot fail to reward its
votary ii it be reso!utely pursued. =
To sigh or repine over lack Of in
heiitance is unmanly.
Every man should strive to he a
creator rather than AZ inheritor. He
should bequeath rather than borrow.
The human race, in this respect, wants
dignity and discipline. 1t prefers
wedding the sword Ut valorous fore
fathers to forging its weapons. This
is mean and ignoble spirit. Let
every man be conscious of the God IN
him, and the Providence over him, aud
fight his own battle with his own
lance. Let him feel that it is noblel
TO eat q crust than 10 inherit Golfers
This spirit of nobility, once learned,
and every man will discover within
himself, under God, the elements and
capacities Of wealth. He will be rich
--inestimably rich in self-resources
and can lift his face proudly to meet
the noblcst among men. The poe
well says:
IL scorn the man who boasts his birth,
