murder and sentenced to be hung. The
judge told them they could each choose

chose an ash tree and the EDglis6man an
oak tree.
"Well, Pat, what will you be hung on ~
asked the judge. -a

hung on a goOseberry bush"
"O,n said the Judge, that's not biz

In Russia the newly discovered coal
fields attract attention. Since The COM

CLARIFY1va SUGAR-The way in which
clay came to be- used in clarifying sugar
was the result Of chance, as almost all dis
coveries are made. A hen that had gone
through a clay ud-puddle went with her
muddy feet into the sugar house; and it
was observed by some one that, wherever
the tracks were, the sugar was whitened
This led % some experiments and the result
was that the clay came to be used il rcin-
ing sugar. It Is done in this way The
sugar i put 10 earthen jars, shaped as 4
sugar loaf i. The LARGE ends are upward.
The ends have hole ia them The jar il
filled with sugar, the clay put over the top,
and Kept wet The moisture goes through
the sugar ana drops from the hole IN the
small end of the jar. This makes the sugar
I perfectly white.

During one of the election campaigns Of

One of his greatest delights was to single

Self-InstructiOn in Practical Chemistry
IRON AND VITRIOL.

One of the most wonderful, and, at the
same time, most common transformations OF
matter which chemistry teaches US are those
of metals into their salts. The opaque,
heavy, lustrOus metal is changed into a
transparent, much lighter, apparently glass
like substance, usually soluble in water, and
often Of beautiful color--green, blue, pink,
etc.-according to the nature of the metal
and the acid employed to transform it. As
all these compounds Of metals in MANY
respects resemble common salt, which itself
is nothing but similarly transformed metal

CosT OF LABOR AND SUBSISTENCE IN
THE UNITED SrATEs.-A valuable docu-
ment on the interesting subject Of factory,
mechanical, farm, and other labor the ex-
peDses of living, etc., in the United States,
prepared by Mr.. Edward Young, Chief Of
the Bureau of Statistics, from data obtained
through the assessors, is now in type.
From a prOof-shect furnished to the Ship
ping List, it appears that there was an
increase in the cost Of builling materials
from 1861 to 1869 Of SO per cent; of Ia
Dor employed in the construction Of dwell
ings Of 1913 per cent; and of building lots
in cities Of AZ per cent.

A Disappointed Party.

The last legislative apportionment
was based upon the election returns Of
1869, when Governor Geary was re-
elected, and awarded an equal number
Of Representatives in the lower House,
outside of Philadelphia, to Republi-
cans and Democrats, making forty-one
TO each party. The Democrats were
confident of maintaining this number in
the State, and arranged the districts
in manner that was regarded as GER
tain to accomplish the results. They
had no doubt whatever of carrying all
the country districts assigned them,
and even expected to succeed in some
of those assigned to the Rpublcans.
Further than this, they even expected
to defeat, with the aid of the so,Called
"Reform" movement, three or four
Republicans in Philadelphia, and thus
obtain control of the House. OF the
Senate they were quite certain, and
until recently gave themselves little
concern about it. Failing to realize
their hopes in both cases, they are, of
course, greatly disappointed. Their
loss Of seven or eight Representatives
and two Senators, secures to the Re-
publicans a working majority in both
branches, and invests them with the
power of apportioning the State into
Congressional Districts in a manner
justified by their recently exhibited
strength, While the victory is COM
plete for the Republicans, it is a cause
Of pain and modification to the DEM
ocratic leaders, frustrating their dar-
ing schemes and destroying their nice
ly arranged plans for success in the
great campaign Of 1672.--Erie Dis,
