AN UNEXPECTED AWARD.

The following story is found in
recent English papers: 50
"The Bishop of Litchfeld hath a
taste for walking, and on occasion,
some time ago, he walked from a
church in the Black Country to the
railway-station where he was TO take
the train for home. On the way he
happened to observe group ofmen
sitting together ON the ground, and
Immediately resolved to say a word
in season. to them, after the fashion
of the Caliph Haaroun or the average
district tract distributor. We'll my

what are you doing?' The response
Of one of the men was not calculated
to please and encourage the amiable
prelate. I'VE bin loyin',' he
said. Lying said the Mortified
Bishop; what do you mean?' 'Why
yer see, was the explanation, 'one
on us fun kettle, and we bin a try
in who can tell he biggest lie to
have it, 'Shocking!' said the
Bishop, and straightway improving
the occasion, he proceeded to i'm
press upon tn sinners the enormity
of lying. He informed them that
he had been taught that one Of the
greatest sins was to tell lie. and in
fact, so strangely this been urged
upon him that never in the whole
course of h is life had he tod lie.

those wicked men were moved and
and charmed by the recital Of such
sal ntliness! Alas! no sooner had
the excellent Bishop made this
announcement than there was a
gIeeful shout, Gle th'governor

THE MYSTERY OF PERFUME.

and made TO deliver up the secrets OF
their organization; but what is it
that emanates from the pouch Of the
musk-deer, that fills whole space
for years and years with its penetra-

BILE number of extraneous substances
can carry on without diminishing il
In size and weight-and what it is
that the warm summer air brings to

HOW STARCH IS MADE.

Laundry starch is made from corn,
that grain being composed of three
fourths pure starch, the other one
fourth comprising a great variety of
other materials, which are not only
difficult of extraction and removal,
but must be thoroughly done if the
starch is to be first class. These
impurities are woody fibre, oily mat.
ter, and gluten (glue.) Any of these
ingredients, it will be seen, will in
terfere with the highly-fnished gloss
that distinguishes laundry work.
They are removed by chemical
process, consisting in the application
to the corn, when ground. of an al
kali possessing strong chemical
affinity for oil and gluten, but none
whatever for starch, which unites
with oil, gluten, and woody fibre,
and produces a peculiarly soapy COM
pound, easily removed by the repeat
cd Washings In water which row
follow with brilliant results, and
which leave the pure, hard, glossy
crystals of starch to be carefully
gathered and dried for market. This
is what the experience of fifty years
shows to be the most tao rough pro-
cess of making good Starch.
