An old lady living near Ontario sent word to
Mr.. Imhof that if he would cast loaf ol
bread into the water where his son was

did so, and followed the floating loaf down 4
mile, when it turned into the mouth of a sort
Of bayou where it stopped and Mr.. John
! ImhoH, getting upon q tree which leaned
over the bayou, there saw the body Of bis
son near the surface of the water, and the
loaf of bread but a few feet from It. This Is

How SUGAR IS MADE WmTE-The way IN
which sugar is made perfectly white, it is
said was found out in acurious way. A hen
4 that had gone through clay daud-pIddle
went with her muddy feetinto sugar-house.
She left her track on a pile Of sugar It was
/ observed by some one that wherever the
tracks were the sugar was whitened. This
led to experiments. The resultwas, that wet
clay came to be used in refining stSsr. It is
used in this way: The sugar is put into ear
then jars shaped as you see leaves are. The
large ends are upwards The smaller ends
have hole in them. The far is filed with

wet. The moisture goes down through the
sugar and drops from the hole at the small
end Of the jar This makes the sugar peF1
fectly white.
