A DOG at Grand Haven, Mich, that
has friends at townsville, frequently
jumps aboard the train at Grand Haven

seats in the passenger car, and when it
reaches townsville he jumps off. He
visits his friends and comes back to
Grand Haven by the return train.

THE .u.T.N.HOTU C.1y.E OUY-
DOVE.

The Kansas City Times says several gem
uemen recently explored cave lately dis
covered in Southeastern Missouri. The
entrance is through II volcanic tissure, sew
en- feet wide by twenty feet in length,
which at the distance of n hundred yards
terminates in a room named by the eXplor-
ers 1.-THE Bat Room" from the thousands
of bats that swarmed within its dark and
hidden recesses; !hey flew about in
swarms, making terrible noise in
the arched roof above. This room has
three sides, each with an aperture opening
into smaller caverns or side rooms. Its
dimensions are fifty by one hundred and
thirty feet, the ceiling being about twenty
feet from the floor. From this room hall,
four hundred yards in length, leads 10
still larger room in the shape of horse
shoe, which the explorers say nature must
certainly have intended for a church, since
the roof is arched in purely Gothic style,
with dome and columns, and, to finish off
and make it complete, pulpit near the
centre.
The walls of this magnificent cavern are
one hundred feet high, but one of the most
remarkable features about it is fountain
of pure water four feet in diameter. North
ward Of this is room sixty feet wide, and
almost filed with glilterng stalactites,
which hang in curiously formed nondants
from the roof. To the South of this is n
mother room which should be named the
"bottomless pit since it apparently has
neither bottom, sides, nor roof. The dark
ness within this place is appalling. Turn
ing to the East the party walked n distance
of about quarter of n mile, when they
came to a flight of natural steps forty or
fifty in number, terminating in II wide
supported by Corinthan pillars of various
thickness and endless in number, all white
as snow and glistening as though studded
with millions Of diamonds. This hall is es-
timated to be two hundred feet in width,
and communicates with number of pas
sages leading Off In various directions,
none of which have yet been explored.
Proceeding on their way the explorers
found a river Of running water issuing no
ono knows whence, and going, no one
knows where. II is about fifty feet wide
and three feet deep. The party followed its
course down stream to the falls, where the
water gees roaring over n precipicc into
the darkness below.
Explorations on lake showed that the

That man is a maniac, deliberate sui
eide, who drinks tea, coffee, or ardent spir-
its of any kind to induce him TO perform
work in hand, when he feels too weak to
go through with it without such aid. This
is the reason that the majority of great ora
tors and public ilvorites die drunkar,ls.
The pulpit, the bench, the bar, the forum,
have contributed their lcgious of victims
TO drunken habits. The beautiful woman,
the sweet singer, the conversationalist, the
periodical writer, have He'd. hut too often
drunkards grave. Now that the press
has become such n great power in the land,
when the magazine must come out on a
certain day, and the daily newspapers at n
fixed hour, nothing waits, everything
must give way to the memorable call for
copy, and, sick or well, disposed or indiS-
posed, asleep or awake, the copy must
come; the writer must compose his article,
whether he feels like it or not, and if he is
not in the vein Of writing, he must whip
himself up to it by the stimulous of drink.
Some of the greatest writers Of the country
have confessed TO the practice on urgent
occasions, Of taking sip of brandy at the
end Of every written page or even oflenor.
II may have escaped the general readers
notice, that more men have died young,
who have been connected with the New
York press, within ten years, aud that too
from intemperance, than in all the other
educational callings put together; young
men whose talents have been of the first
order, and gave promise of life of useful
ness, honor and emin,n nee.
The best possible thing for II man to do,
when he feels too tired to perform task
or too weak to carry it through, is to go to
bed and sleep week if he can; this is the
only true reeuporation of brain power ;
the only actual renewal of brain force; be-
cause, during sleep the brain is in sense
of rest, in n condition to receive and appro-
pirate particles of nutriment from the
blood which take the place Of those which
have been consumed in previous labor,
since the very act of thinking consumes,
burns up solid particles, as every turn of
the wheel or screw of the splendid steamer
is the result Of consumption by fire of the
fuel in the furnace. That supply of con-
sumed brain substance can only he had
from the nutriment particles in the blood
which were obtained from the food eaten
previously, and the brain is so constituted
that ii can best receive and appropriate to
itself those nutrimcnt particles during the
state of rest, Of quiet and of stiffness in
sleep. Mere stimulants supply nothing in
themselves-they only goad the BRAIN force
it to greater consumption gifts substance,

WHAT BECOMES OF THE Sons OF Sue
CEssFUL MEN.-Next to the inquiry, What
becomes of the pins? an interesting ques-
ton would be, What becomes of the sons
of successful men? a few men and Il few
firms are in the hands Of the founders but
these are exceptions. The old name and
the old trade generally pass into the
hands of others. "Do you see that man
shoveing in coal? Well, his children, and
children like his, will iostle your pampcr-
ed sons and rule this land" said an old
New Yorker, the other day. The old names
have ceased in the pulpit. The famed men
of the bar seldom have a successor. The
eminent iurists carry their honors with
them to the grave. Merchant princes are
obiterated. The reason is clear. The ia
Tiers laid the basis of business one way
and the sons build another. Men who
earned their fortunes by hard work, by
diligence; that knew sixteen hours toll,
by personal attention; that were their
own book leepers, statesmen, cashiers and
often porters, are iollwed by sons who do
as little as possible; who delegate to others
all the work they can, and who know
more of the road than of the ledger. Fa-
nous hotel mon were gentlemen, men of
intelligence, men who were the equals Of
the host in the land and who never sunk
the gentleman in their trade. Young meu
who fling the example of their sires to the
winds, find it easy to squander valuable
name, run through fortune quicker than
it was earned, and lind themselves, while
young, at the point from which their faith
ers started. One thing is quite marked in
New York. 1t is the fact that the heavy
business is getting into the hands of for
egners. The heavy importers, the great
bankers, and much of the trade Of value is
slipping out of tho hands of Americans, as
the trade of England got into the power OF
the Lombards. -NeW York Letter 10 Boston
journal.

Next comes the chief operations OF the
refining of sugar, rs practised in the North
crn sugar houses in our large cities. First
are the so called blowing up coppers, where
the crude plantation sugar is placed in large
copper vessels, dissolved in water, and then
carefully heated by steam coils. After be-
ing carefully skinned, the solution is
passed through the filtering cislern these
are filed with graduated animal charcoal.
which is n very powerful ingredient for
discoloring many kinds Of solutions. The
clear solution obtained is then placed in the
vacuum pans. Their introduction has been
one Of the greatest improvements in the art
of sugar refining. This is true for many
reasons; first, an economy of fuel, as the
evaporation ina vacuum requires much less
heat than under the ordinary atmospheric
pressure second, the impo ssbility of burn
ing the sugar at the bottom of a highly
heated vessel, as the moderate heat of n
steam coil inside the bottom Of the recepto-
Gle is sufficient third. the economy of
time, as the evaporation goes on much
quicker, notwithstanding the low tcmpera-
turc, the air pump removing aud conden-
sing the vapor Us rapidly as formed. and "a
accelerating now evaporition; fourth. tbo
most important economy lies in the fact
that as heat changes crvst,lIizoble supar
in,o non-crystallizabe material, the amount
obtained of the former i. much larger when
using the vacuum pan than by the old
method ofevaporation when more svrun is
obtained. As the crystallizablo sugar COM
mands much higher price in the market.
it is greatly in the interest of the sugar re-
inner to reduce the amount Of syrup OBJ
tanned to minimum.
AT the side of the vacuum pan is also a
small cylinder with handle in an ohlique
direction, resembling pump. reaching TO
