A fellow named John Pahh arrastod O..
Old Orchard on Saturday for larceny at the
depot. He is suspected of committing other
larcenies in that vicinity.
The B. & M. Railroad Company is to have
three tracks near the Old Orchard station, the
third track being laid down for the accommo-
dation of freight trains obliged to lay over.
The Biddeford Times says t hat Mr. Libby,
who lives on the Milliken road. Saco, near the
Heath Westinghouse, has an idea that he has
been called to preach, and has been commits
stoned by the Almighty to set fire to the Heath
meeting house, and certain barn belonging to
the estate of the late Daniel Miliiken. On Fast
Day, in the afternoon, Mr. Libby laid a train of
husks from a collection of brush in an orchard
in the rear of the barn mentioned to said barn,
an then set fire to the brush. The fire was
discovered making good Roadway through the
husks and grass to the barn and put out before
serious damage was done, Last year an appli-
cation was made to send him to the Insape
Hospital, but it was opposed, and subsequently,
the matter was dropped. He will now be ar
rested.

AN Aroostook correspondent in noticing

AN Aroostook correspondent in noticing
the remarks of the Presque Isle Sunrise on
tine mileage drawn by the members of the
last Legislature, thinks there is remarkable
elasticity in the distance from Aroostock
county to Augusta, as shown by the pay-rolls
of 1869-'70 and II. In 1869 it was 1926 miles
from Houlton to Augusta, and 465 from Fort
Kent to the capital. In 1870 the same repre-
sentatives made the distance 260 and $50
miles respectively. In 1870 the editor of the
Sunrise made the distance from his office to
Augusta POO miles, but in 1871 the distance
had shrunk to 240 miles. Our correspondent
is anxious for an explanation OF this longl-
tudiual expansion and contraction.

E.lKHyG OFF THE SHOES.

In Syria the people never take off
their caps or turbans when entering a
house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door
The reason is that their floors are cover
cd with clean mats and rugs, and in
the Moslcm houses the men kncel ON
the rugs to pray, and press their fore
heads TO the floor, so that it would not
be decent or respectful 70 walk in with
dirty shoes to soil the siilady ON which
they kneel TO pray They have no
foot mats or scrapers, and il is much
cheaper and simpler to leave the shoes
dirt and all, at the door.
II is very curious to 80 to the Syrian
school-housc and see the pile of shoes
at the door There are new bright red
shoes, and tattered shoes and kobkobs,
and black shoes, and sometimes yellow
shoes. The kobkobs are wooden clogs,
made to raise the feet out of the mud
and water, having a little strap over
the toe to keep it ON the foot. You
viii often see little boys and girls RIM
ming down steps and paved streets on
these dangerous kobkobs. Sometimes
they slip, and then down they 60, on
their noses, and the kobkobs 6y Off
and 20 rattling over the stones, and
little Ali or Yusef, or whatever his
name is, begins to shout, "Ya Imma !
va Immaw 30 my mothcrl" and cries
just like little children in other coun-
tries.
But the funniest part is to SEQ the
boys when they come ont of school and
try to find their shoes. There will be
fifty boys, and of course a hundred
shoes, all mixed together in one pile
When school is out the boys make u
rush for the door, Then comes the
tug Of war A dozen boys arp stand
ing and shufiling %, .he pile of shoes,
looking down, kicking away the other
shoes, running their toes into their
own, stumbling over the kobkobs, and
then making dash to got out Of the
crowd. Sometimes shins will be kick
ed, and hair pulled, and tar-booshes
thrown Oft, and q great screaming fob
low, which win only cease when the
teacher comes with ASA or a stick,
and quells the riot. That pile of shoes
will have to answer for good many
scbool-boy fights and bruised noses
and hard feelings in Syria. You win
wonder how they can tell their own
shoes. SO do i, And the boys often
wear off each others shoes by mistake
or ON purpose, and then you will sec
Selim running with one shoe on and
one of Ibrahim's in his hand, shouting
and cursing lbmhims father and
grandfather until he gets back his lost
property, vaf Ia ffn

according to the New Orleans 7iaess
Mexican correspondent Vera Cruz has
a public wash-hogsc which might be
advantageously initiated in those cities
in this country where a liberal supply
Of water cannot be procured by all at
their homes, 1t is an open building,
supported by columns, occupying two
sides of square. 1t is kept scrupu-
lously clean, and through the middle
are two large marble troughs, with
fifty subdivisions on each side, afford
ing sufficient room for washerwoman
and her work. An abundance Of fresh,
clear water is provided by faucets to
each subdivision. Tho accomodations
afforded at the public wash-house are
free Of charge, Hundreds Of washer
women may be seen here at any hour
ofthe day, busy with hands and tongues
The portion of the square not covered
blythe building Is kept as lawn, and
used exclusively for bleaching aud dry
ing the clothes. Water in Vera Cruz
is brought distance of fifteen miles
from the river Janapa, near the town
OF Mcdellin The waicr>works are
owned by the city, and resemble those
Of the city Of St Louis The water is

CONDENSED MIX.


A factory for the production Of con
dcnsed milk has recently been estab-
lished at Cham, canton Zug, on the
borders of the lake Of the same name,
In Switzerland. We lind the following
description of the process in one Of our
exchanges; The milk is furnished by
peasants, and as soon as each person
delivers his supply, sample is taken
from the pals, numbered and allowed
TO remain quiet over night. The OBJ
icct of this + to Judge of the quality Of
the milk for the rising Of cream. Gases
Of fraud, however are rare, as the pea
santry are generally honest, and the
penalties imposed by law are extremely
severe. f
The first operation is to weigh the
milk, which 10 this end is conducted
into a copper basin supported by a bal
ancc. Its weight being obtained, the
milk ia allowed 10 escape into huge
wooden reservoirs, lined With zinc and
located in the cellar. Here careful
examination is made with the lactome-
ter; and the fluid isdnwn off into large
cylindrical copper boilers, which are
placed in vat furnished with a false
bottom, under which steam enters.
The milk is thus slowly heated, but not
boiled. For the latter purpose it is la
died out into a separate boiler, whence
il is carried TO another tank containing
a quantity of white sugar. In order to
facilitate the solution Of the latter, the
liquid is repeatedly passed along q met
al trough from onc-vase 10 another.
When the operation is completed, il is
drawn off into cooperating chambers.
These rcceptaclcs resemble the similar
apparatus used in sugar manufacture,
and have double bottoms, heated by
steam. They are united to a column
of condensation which communicates
with air pumps. Under these condi-
tons the milk boils at 40 degrees Fab
renheit, Every little while the work
man takes out II sample from which he
Judges according TO its viscosity whcth-
er the condensation IS sufficient
When the latter point Is reached, the
liquid is led down into the cellar and
into a tin receptacle which Is surround
ed by cold water The milk is thor
oughly agitated by hand for some time
until completely cool, whcnit is carried
to other reservoirs and thence drawn
off into boxes and scaled. The daily
product Is about 5000 boxes, cacl
weighing about 1875 ounces. The mill
may be diluted with five times il
weight of water.

THE GROSS IN HISTORY

The sign Of the cross possessed pc
culiar religious significance of Christi
anity upon the earth, among the peo-
pie who knew nothing of the true God,
and innations separated from each other
by almost half the circumference of
the globe. IL is found in variety Of
shapes ON almost all the Egyptian mon
umonts, and upon many that must have
been erected before the arrival of the
lsraelites in Egypt. II Is found usually
near to or IN the hands Of figures Of
deitics, and one form OF il is now known,
strangely enough, to have represented
''the life to come The cross has been
discovered also upon bricks and pottery
and metal taken from the ruins of Ba-
bylon, and il appears so frequently that
the theory prevails that il must have
possessed more than common signif-
cameo among the Babylonians.
II has been found also among the
remains of the people who dwelt in
the lake villages of Italy and Switzer-
land, and who lived 30 long ago that
they were blotted from existence before
the Romans appeared upon the Italian
peninsula. The cemeteries of these
mysterious people have been explored
and upon every one of the cinerary
urns that have been found the cross i
inscribed. There is little doubt, there
fore, that it had for these people spe
cial religious meaning, connected in
some manner with death. The caves
Of India chow that tho cross was a rc.
ligious symbol among the nations o.
that continent centuries ago II was
also iilvorite emblem in the rites o.
the Druids, and il was the principal sa
cred token of the Scandinavians, foi
the hammer of Thor was cross; and
when Cortcs had conquered Mexico
the exploring parties sent out by him
found the cross standing everywhere
in the temples of the Aztecs in Mexico
and Central America, while Pizarrc
discovered that the lncas Of Peru wor,
a cross among theirpersonal ornaments
II is even more remarkable that bap
tism by water was religious rite
among the Mexican Aztecs The the
ory Is highly plausible therefore that
this general and wide spread venertion
Of the cross was the result Of a myste-
rious but universal conviction in the
heart Of man that the redemption Of
the race would come through the me
dium Of that sign.
