The Science Of kissing.

Science in the last few years has
gained terrible footholl in this world.
1t has ratified the dry bones of old fogy-
ism, made pi out of worn out theories,
and upset ideas which have been estab-
lished for centuries. The latest and
most astonishing fact that has been dig
covered is that there is a scientific mode
for kissing. The day when a young'man
could grab q girl around the neck and
gobble kiss in a rough but comfortable
manner, Is past The time when he
could circle her waist with one ann, get
his shirt bosom, full of bair oil, and
pirouette his lips over every square inch
of her countenance, is no more. Science
has proclaimed against it. the oil
style of kissing which sounds like tear.
ing clap-board off smoke house, is
now considered bad taste anG IS going
out Of fashion, and the majority Of girls
admit that science has cruelty DESTROYED
all the comtCr: Of a long, lingering.

regret the change. The scientific meth

After Them ALI.

One day last Sumner Jay Gould
stopped at Jackson, Michigan, on his
way from Chicago to Detroit, to meet
some railroad man who was coming
from Fort Wayne. While wandering
around the depot he was accosted by a
thick,set, middls-aged man with gray
eyes and ugly nose, who blundered out:
"Say, amt You Jim Keenel"
"No, sir" was the reply.
Because, if you are, I'm going to
punch your head" continued the man.
"Jim keene busted my brother-in.law
all to smash on the wheat business, and
I've sworn to break every rib in his
body if ever get hold of him"
"say, old fellow, believe your name
Is Vanderbilt"
"No, I am not Vanderbilt" was the
reply,
because, if you are, one OF your con.
ductors on this road tounced me off
train and told me to get satisfaction
ont Of Vanderbilt, and Pm ready to take
it here and now."
He went off, held a brief conference
with the station agent, and .hen crossed
Gould's path, and growIed:
as your name Russell Sage?"
''No.
Because, if it is you, you can get
ready for a roll in q mud hole Russell
Sage cleaned out my only rich uncle in
stock speculation, and I've sworn to
mangle him on sight"
Gould must have suspicioned that one
more inquiry was coming, for he closeted
himself in the telegraph Office, and had
been there only a few minutes when the
man halted under the window and said
to a friend:
Jim, ! want to find that gent and
ask him if he is Jay Gould, because if
he is he's the worst pill in the whole
lot, and I'm going to make dog meat Of
him in Just ten rcconds. Wall Sire.

Sand in Sugar.

| had read that sugar refners used
bullocks' blood to clarity the liquor, and
in my simplicity asked my friend where
was the bullocks' blood. He laughed
very heartily at my Ignorance, and told
me there had not been such a thing
used in Greenock since he had known
anything about the trade, now over 81
years. What struck me most was the
sand and mud that my friend showed
me had been taken out of the raw ma
terial when l saw it filtered; and l tha:
day registered VOW that l would never
again be tempted to buy 'real raw
sugar" for domestic use. l shudder as l
think of the quantity Of mud must
have eaten in my time, and feel annoyed
at having been deluded into paying a
penny pound more for the real raw
sugar than could have bought the pure
refined article for. l told my friend
what was passing through my mind, at
which he again said EVERY one that
comes to see through the refinery says
the same thing. You sometimes hear
grocers charged with putting sand in
their sugar. They really do nothing OF
the sort. 1t would not pay them to do
so even if they had mind. If the use
of raw sugar were given up by the pub
lie, we would never again hear Of such
an accusation against the poor grocer"
My friend, seeing the disgust I hal dis
played at the sand and mud, took me to
the laboratory in CONNECTION with the
refinery, where he said he would show
me even worse than mud IN the raw
sugar. He took small glass vessel like
tumbler, into which ne put about
teaspoonful Of "real raw sugar" such as
is sold in the shops, and then poured
some water slightly heated over it. In
short time little specks appeared on
the surface, scarcely visible to the naked
eye, two or three which he placed under
a microscope and babe me look through
it. To my amazemert l saw little in.
sects like lice crawling about l asked
what they were, and was told that they
were the Acarus sacchari, or raw sugar
mite, and that they abound in raw su-
gar, more especially in the better de-
scriptions. | asked if there were none
to be found in refined sugar, and my
friend said no; that they were all re.
tanned in the filtering bags or killed dur,
ing the boiling. understand that
celebrated chemist has estimated that
there will be as many as 100000 of
these creatures in pound of raw sugar.
| learned that there were about dozen
re6neries at work in Greenock, turning
out about 100000 to 100000 tons of
soft refined sugar per annum, being more
than third of all the sugar consumed
in Great Britain. Greenock has great
natural advantages for the refining of
sugar, having excellent harbor accom-
mediation, where the largest vessels can
discharge the raw material, being near
to the Lanarkshire coal-felds, having an
unlimited supply of water at very
cheap rate, and plentiful supply of
cheap labor Chambers journal.

The coloring principle of the indigo
plant is contained in the stems and
leaves, which yield a colorless liquid,
changed by fermentation into the famil-
lar dye. About two months after the
plants are sown they produce a pale.red
flower. They are then cut, thrown
into large stone watts, covered with water
and held down BY heavy weights.
Fermentation begins in about twelve
or fourteen hours; the whole mass
appears to be boiling, and bubbles OF
purple air arise. When this process
is finished, the liquid is drawn off iEtc
another vat, and violently stirred to
precipitate the colOring matter which is
left to settle. Again the water is drawn
off, leaving the indigo, which is dried
and prepared for export.
