Things Found in Raw Sugar.

had read that sugar refiners used bull
locks 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 thing used in
Greenock since he had known anything
about the. trade, now over thirty years.
| What struck me most was the sand and
mud that my friend showed me had been
taken out Of the raw sugar when saw it
filtered; and that day registered VOW
that would never again be tempted to
buy s'real raw sugar" for domestic use /
shudder as think of the quantity of mud
that must have eaten in my time, and
feel annoyed at having been deluded into
paying penny pound more for the real
raw sugar. than I could have bought the
pure refined article for. told my friend
what was passing through my mind, at
which he again laughed, and said: Every
one that comes to see through the refinery
says the same thing. You sometimes hear
grocers charged with putting sand IN their

1t would not pay them to do so, even if
they had a mind. If the use of raw sugar
were given up by the public, we would
never again hear of such an accusation
against the poor grocer. My friend, see
ing the disgust I had displayed at the sand
and mud, took me to the laboratory in con-
nection with the refinery, where he said he
would show me even worse than mud in
the raw sugar. He took small glass yes
sci like a tumbler, into which he put tea
spoonful Of "real raw sugar. such as is
sold in the shops, and then poured some
water slightly heated over it. In a short
time little specks appeared on the surface,
scarcely visible to the naked eye, two or
three of which he placed under micro.
scope and bade me look through it. To
my amazement saw little insects like lice
crawling about. asked what they were,
and was told they were the Acarus
sacchari, or raw sugar mite, and that they
abound in raw sugar, more especially in the
better descriptions. Iasked if there were
none to be found IN refined sugar, and my
friend said no; that they were all either
retained in the filter bags or killed during
the boiling. I understand celebrated
chemist has estimated that there will be
as many as 100000 of these creatures in
pound of sugar. l learned that there were
about a dozen refneries at work in Green
ock, turning out about 100000 to 100000
tons Of soft, refined sugar per annum, being
more than third of all the sugar consum-
ed in Great Gritain.- Chambers Journal.

'sLITTLE JINKs.'
BY A LONDON DETECTIVE.

I never could be harsh with any one hav-
ing a real love for his mother; more, the
moment that saw that his case was de-
serving one, was ready to exert myself
to The utmost to help him out of the mire.
My own mother had hard struggle to
keep her harum- scarum boy in order; but
sooner than cause tear to gather in her
eye, would have chopped off my right
hand. She was my idol whom I used to
worship in secret; and many a time when
:she thought me asleep, have been peep
Fling out from under the blankets. watching

enough and big enough to work for her
myself But let me explain. l received
the following note one morning as enter
ed the office:

home, so my pockets must have been pick
ed somewhere between the Mansion house
and Finsbury square,"
This brief communication was signed
by a we'll known banker, a jolly old bach
elor living in Finsbury square. He was a
little man, and inclined to be fat; but he
had large warm heart-as had discov-
cred long beforehand seemed to live in a
kind of genial atmosphere, liked by every
body and envied by none. l even felt a
momentary surprise that thief had found
it in his heart to victimize such man.
Calling at his house, the following en-
sued:
ut is not so much the money that con-
Germs me- he said; 'though the loss of
that would be serious to poor man. but
in the inner pocket 1 had slowed away
some papers and an old memorandum
which I shall miss very much. If you just
get them, you can let the poor wretch keep
the money!
). This proposal was against all law and
order, and he must have known it; but I
had to remind him of the fact.
"Ah,. yes, knew" he said in his quick
way, with merry smile. Its against
the law, of course, but you detectives can
easily stretch point when you have a
mind to; and besides, only throw out the
hint. Get the contents of the inner peck

"You did not feel yourself tugged or

''No, sir"
After elicting all the facts l could in
connection with the matter, l returned to
the office, determined to work with will
tostrace his purse and it's contents. But
did not even hear of it. No one among
my numerous acquaintance seemed par
ticularly flush of money; the empty. purse
was not picked up anywhereor brought in;
and began to fear that it had left Lon
don. and the thief with it.
In this, however, was mistaken.

Sad Picture.

Talmage preached sermon recently, di-
rected to young men, and here is a picture
painted by him: WI
sEvery year multitudes of young men
are slaughtered slaughtered ON the sharp
edges of debt. When creditors go after a
man like a pack of hounds in full cry. alas
for the reindeer! They jingle his bell be-
fore he gets up in the morning, They jim
gle his bell after he has retired at night.
They meet him as he comes down his front
steps, They send him letter or postal
card in curtest style, telling him to pay,
up. They attach his goods. They want
the cash, or note at thirty days, or note
on demand. They call him knave. They
tell him he lies. They want him disciplin-
ed at the church. They want him turned
out of the bank. They come at him from
this side and from that side, from before
and from behind, and from above and from
beneath. And he is chased, and scolded,
and sued, and denounced, and dunned
and swore at, and gibbetted. till he gets
nervous dyspepsia, gets neuralgia, gets
heart disease, gets liver complaint, gets
disorder, gets consumption.
He is dead now, and surely they will le+
him alone. No, no, no! His creditors
watch that there is nosunnecessary expense
at his obsequies, whether there are any
useless handles on the casket, whether it
is lined with muslin or silk, whether the
shroud is in superflous plaits, whether the
flowers on the casket we're bought or dona-
ted, VIII ether the hearse is cheap or costly,
in whose name the deed of the grave is
made out. Then they ransack the bereft
home, the books, the pictures. the chairs,
the piano, the mattresses, the carpets
Cursed be debt! For the sake of your
happiness, for the sake of your good NOR
ais. for the sake of your soul, for Gods
sake, keep out Of debt!'

WHAT NExT2-A California inventor
has made a machine for pressing and dry
ing potatoes so that they will keep for
years, yet preserve their natural flavor.
No chemicals are used in the operation of
curing, everything. being done by simple
machine capable Of pressing six hundred
bushels of potatoes in twenty four hours,
The machine not only presses the potatoes,
but lays them on a tray in concave form
with the hollow side down. After the
pressure they are put into drying appa-
ratuss where they remain for tive hours,
then they are ground into coarse meal
resembling cracked rice. The first ship
ment of these preserved potatoes to Liv-
erpool, last year, brought large profit
The average price of potatoes in San Fran
cisco is about twenty five cents a bushel.
Dried, they brought in England forty five
shillings hundred weight, or at the rate
of dollar and half a bushel for green
potatoes. This year preparation has been
made for drying and shipping large guam
Titles. 1t is said that there are three hun
dred thousand acres of uncultivated land
on the western slope of the Coast Range,
near San Francisco, especially adapted to
potato growing. The fogs and mists from
the ocean supply sufficient moisture and the
soil yields bountifully.

Praise Children.

There is an old superstition that praise
is too good thing to be given to the chill
dren; that it is too rich for their mental
and moral digestion. Some parents are
so afraid that child will grow proud that
they never praise him, and this course is Of
ten disastrous. 1t is apt to produce either
too much self-assertion-fo self assertion
is legitimate outgrowth of the withhold
ing of commentator to which one is enti-
tled-or to engender self -distrust, or mel
ancholy hope]essness of disposition. Praise
is sunshine to child, and there is no child
and there is no man that does not need it..
1t is the high reward of ones struggle to
do right. Thomas Hughes says that you
can never get mans best out of him with
out praise. Many a sensitive child, we be-
lieve, dies of hunger for kind commenda
ton. Many child starving for the praise
that a parent should give, runs off eagerly
after the designing fiattery Of others. To
withhold praise where it is due is dishon-
course often leaves stinging sense of in
justice. Motives of common justice as
well as regard for the future of the child
should influence the parent to give gener-
Gus praise for all that deserve it. Of
course there is a difference in the consti-
tuition of children. Some cannot bear so
much praise as others. and some need a
great deal. 1t should never be indiscrimi
nate. We remember wonderful woman
who taught school in one village until she
had educated part of three generations.
She was one of the most successful of
teachers; but her success lay in her gift of
praising with discrimination. A bad boy,
who was a good scholar. got praises for his
brilliancy, sandwiched between her admo-
nitions for his bad behavior, and so was
won to better life. And we recall good
girl, who had no gift of learning rapidly,
but who was saved from utter despair by
the praise she got for her untiring indus
try Into the discouraged hearts of the
children the praise of the teacher came
like sunlight. And the virtues like other
fruits, can only ripen in the sunshine.

CARE OF HORSES LEGS AND FEET
The following is areply to correspondent
of the Prairie Farmer by the veterina-
ry editor upon the above subject: 1t is
well known fact that horses will work an

| apparently much out of order. Enlarge

after strain; as also from blows, where the
parts become lined with thick coat of
lymph; and sometimes the body of the bone
itself is found thickened from deposition
OF bony lamina over the original bone.
When all this has been in progress, we
question the propriety of any active meas.

feeling of soreness is-exhibited after work
by shifting, or favoring of the limb or

will not only be sound and healthy, but in

greater disposition to secrete horn than

How TO DRIVE AWAY RATs.-A writer
treating Of this question gives simple
plan by which any one can rid his premi-
ses of rats, and keep the the vermin away
permanently. He says:
1--WE clear our premises of these detest-
able vermin by making whitewash yellow
with copperas, and covering the stones
and rafters in the cellar with it. In ev-
cry crevice in which rat may tread we
put the crystals of copperas and scatter
the same in the corner of the floor. The
result was perfect stampede of rats and
mice. Since that time not football of
either rat or mouse has been. heard about
the house. Every spring coat Of yellow
wash is given the cellar as purifier, as an
exterminator, and no typhoid fever attacks
the family. Many persons deliberately at
tract all the rats in the neighborhood by
leaving fruit and vegetables uncovered in
the cellar, and sometimes the soap grease
is left for their regalement. Cover up ev-
erything eatable in the cellar and pantry,
and you will soon have them out These
precautions, joined to the service of good
cat, will prove as good rat exterminator
as chemists can provide. We never allow
rats to be poisoned in our dwelling; they
are so liable to die between the walls and
produce much annoyance"
