Brandy from SaMdnst-

The fact has long since been known
that if cellulose is boiled with dilute
acids, grape-sugar is produced, and
a similar treatment of licheDs, accor-
| ding to n process devised by Profess
sor Stenberg, is the initialstep to the
preparation of a very fair brandy
We now learn that quite a good
brandy can be made from sawdust,
generally from mixture of the saw
dust of pine and of fir timber. For
this purpose 9 parts of very moist
sawdust, z of part of hydrochlorid
acid, and 1877 parts of water, max
ing 43.4 parts in all, are to be boiled
together, under steam pressure, for
eight hours and half, after which
the mass is found to contain 3.33
parts of grape-sugar; and after elev-
en- hours 4.38 parts, in all over 10
per cent. of the entire mass. The
acid is now to be neutralized with
lime, go that the mash, cooled and
ready for fermentation, is to contain
one-half a degree of acid, according
to the acetometer,) and a suitable
amount of yeast is to be added. AT
ter ninety-six hours of fermentation
the mash is distilled, and sixty-one
quarts of brandy or so per cent. of
strength viii be obtained, perfectly
free from any smell Of turpentiDe,
AID of extreme excellence OF flavor.
The experiment. has not been con-
ducIed in practical way on a sufi-
GENTLY large scale to determine pos
ltively the merits of this process,
but 1t is not at all unlikely that the
success may equal that with the Itch
ems, and that large industry in this
direction may be developed. It is
not impossible, too, that expert
ments viii show that other kin.1s of
wood than those mentioned may be
found better adapted to the purpose

Hasty Friendships.

Some people are continually &C
quiring "dear friends" Ladies Of
an impossible nature have been
known to add two or three to their
hist every week during the visiting
season. We men are not, generally
speaking, as apt to rush into friend
ship as the more amiable sex; yet
many of us contract friendships in
haste that we repent at leisure. True
friends are scarce articles. They
cannot be picked up at the rate of
half q dozen a season at dinner-par-
ties or balls. Will the ladies excuse
us for saying that mems Friendships
are, in most cases, stronger than
theirs? A lady's every dear" or even
dearest friend" Of her own sex is
apt to fall from favor if she tries to
compete with her affectiopate sister
even in so small a matter as dress.
The charming young creatures who
walk with their arms linked around
each others waists, and exchange
kisses and confidence daily, are not,
as a general thing, so closely welded
together by mutual affection but that
envy or jealousy may part them, or
even make them enemies.

Many cases Of glaring neglect are
reported showing great want of at
'ention by those in charge of boilers,
and by owners and users. If some
responsible person would give a few
moments attention each day to the
boilers aud their connections, many
disasters might be prevented.
Among the carelessness met with
are: A leaking safery-valve, found
with plank across the lever, and
loaded down with bricks three hun
dred pounds pressure would not
probably have raised this valve. In
another, the boiler was IN a building
