AIoTHER IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-
The Pit sburg (Pa.,) Dlspa ch says a
Canadian is claimed TO have invsn ed
new process of refining petroleum with
out the agency of heat. Asimple maui
factured from American petroleum Of
forty-tive gravity is stated u he very
brilliant and white oil of forty-eight
gravity and l22 fire test. The yield
from the crude was ninety-three per cant.
But the most extraordinary claim Tor
this process Is not merely That the means
used are entirely mechanical, but also
that there is no production Of gasoline
or bebzne, and the entire product is
standard white llumnat ns oil, far super
ior % the oil refined under old methods.
This new process, if what is claimed for
it bs true, isjust precisely what the pro-
ducers have been looking for.

stood it all, in a moment. "Oh, was
there no one to watch over herl" he said
to himself.
Katey was Immediately put to bed, and
doctor summoned. She had now no
lack of attention. But before an hour
had passed, she was wrestling with that
dread enemy of childhood, the Group.
Uncle Tom hung over the delirious
little sufferer, and the father watched her
with tears in his eyes. But the mother
moved calmly about, performing, indeed,
in most exemplary manner, all the du-
ties of the sickroom. but thinking, new
ertheless, of the rare, old china, left un-
protected on the library table.
Katey was continually going over, in
her imagination, the task which her uncle
had set her, muttering plalntively and
necessarily. "One, two, three. o, I'm
getting SO tired!"
AS the night wore on, the fever in
creased, and the hoarse breathing grew
so labored, that to the watchers it seemed
as if each breath must be the last. Just
before dawn, the flushed face was turned
towards her mother.
Mamma" she uttered, "Unclc Tom
said So"
"What, dear, questioned her mother.
Uncle Tom says | won't be nuisance
in Heaven!"
Mrs. Lester turned hastily and left the
room. 1t was too much, even for her
well-regulated mind. But she returned
shortly, calm, collected, and equal to the
emergency.
Katey was still painfully going over
her laoorious counting. AT last, she
opened her eyes wide, fixed them upon
her uncle, murmuring, Fifteen, sixteen,

there was one nuisance less in the world,

herself in crepe for a while, seemed in

How to Save Our Boys.

Parents are often a. loss to know how to
keep their boys from going the broad road
TO ruin. Many homes are without books or
anything to interest the young, hence they
seek entertainment abroad, and it is no won

ums" Ia another place will be found an
advertisement containing list of hooks sent
TO the most remote parts Of the United States,
postpaid, on receipt Of price. The descrip
ton, which in most cases follows the title OF
each book, gives some idea of its character.
From this long list people of all kinds can
lind something to interest and instruct
Some OF these books are well suited for
presents, and all of them are worthy OF a
place in any family library.

An Important Function Stinfu-
lated.

The kidneys exercise most important func
tons, which are so wearisOme that they tax
to the utmost the strength and endurance of
these busy little organs. Every breath, every
pulsalion of the heart. every movement of Il
LIMB, every thought, makes waste and neces-
states the development Of new atoms. The
used up PARTICLES in the blood are sifted from
it and dissolved in a watcry fluid by the kid
neys, which then discharge This fluid into the
bladder. A train of disasters to the system
would follow if these "ashes," so TO speak,
were not thoroughly strained off and dis
charged. This is the case when the kidneys
become inactive. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ter's, by restoring their activity, not only
keeps open most important outlet Tor i'm
purties, but prevents diseases OF the kidneys
themselves, which when inert become liable
to fall pray to diabetes, Brights disease,
nephistis albumenuria, and other maladies
specially incident to them, which, although
not specially rapid in their progression, are
particularly obstinate and fatal.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-After recess,
Shaw, of the counsel for McGarrahan,
said he was not ready to proceed with the
count of the illness of bis associate, Inger-
soil, who was in the committee room, sur
rounded by his family. A resolution was
adopted as follows:
ResoEved, That 10 future no testimony
be received in this case touching proceed
ings in the courts as to this cause, and that
all testimony be restricted to the question
whether Gomez ever had a valid grant or
that he had such equities as would entitle
him to perfect grant TO the land in con-
troversy, and all testimony heretofore
taken not in bearing upon this question
and the same is hereby excluded.
Before the house committee on post
Offices to- day, notary public Boone testified
that he had bid in the recent lettings for
over 400 routes, aggregating nearly $400.-
600. His only wealth was in his ability
and his credit. He assisted Peck and
Minor in getting up bids and in gathering
| information on which to base the amount
of bids, and il return they provided
bondsmen for him. 1t appears that Boone
sigued the bonds while the names of the
witnesses to his signature were not added
till afterward, and represented men with
whom he was unacquainted. The propo
sails were made out and certified, and the
dates we're added afterwards, and other
conditions changed. The parties to such
afidavits could not be held to answer for
perjury. Representative Boone, of the
committee. was very severe on Boone in
regard to his lax business habits. He
asked witness if with such practices in
view he regarded himself as equally hon
est now as when under government en-
ploy. Boone replied that he did. Other
members of the committee showed con-
siderable curiosity in regard to Boone 6
! life and doings in Tennessee, from which
state he testified he was driven as carpet
bagger. having sunk or abandoned $3.50,
900, He also stated that when he came
to the state from Ohio a few years before
he was worth $4,000. Irregularities in
proposals were shown which, in the opin-
ion of some of the committee, would
make the bids invalid and should be COM
municated to the postmaster general.
Boone conteDded that they were ordinary
practices among contractors, etc. Con-
demnation of these proposals would dc
away with a large proportion of those
accepted in the recent letting.
