The manufacture of Oxygen gas, to be dis
tributed to consumers, has long been locked
upon as desirable thing, and now firm In
Paris appears to have accomplished the pur-
pose in manner promising commercial sue
cess. The operation is based on the Absorb
ton, by baryta, alta certain temperature, of
oxygen from the air, and the fact that the
oxygen will be released when the baryta is
heated to higher temperature. Heretofore
1t has been found that baryta gradually lost
its power of absorption, but the Partisan
chemist say they have overcome that difficulty,
and that their material has remained UNI
changed after four hundred operations. The
gas obtained is said to be 95 per cent. oxy-
gen, and will cost about 20 cents per thousand
cubic feet. If it could be distributed like il
Illuminating gas and at small cost, it would be
of great value for heating, lighting and
bleaching purposes and in nearly all indus
tries. There are vast oceans Of oxygen to
draw upon, if only some cheap and simple
method of securing 1t can be obtained.

SAND-BAa FOR THE SICK RooM.--One OF
the most convenient articles to be used In a
sick room is sand-bag. Get some clean,
fine sand, dry it thoroughly in kettle on the
stove make bag about eight inches square
of flannel ill it with dry sand, sew the open
ing carefully together, and cover the bag with
cotton or wooden cloth. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out, and win also enable
you to heat the bag quickly by placing 1t in
the oven, or even on top of the stove. After
once using this you will never again attempt
to warm the feet or hands Of sick per son
with bottle Of hot water or brick. The
sand holds the heat a long time, and the bag
can be tucked up to the back without hurting
the invalid. 1t is a good plan TO make two
or three of the bags and keep them ready fcl
use.

Of those who only cared for him to lead him
in the paths of sin and desert him when
trouble came. AS be approached the store he
saw man slowly walking up and down the
porch, apparently waiting for some one.
"Could it be some one after money? All,
well, he might as we'll meet it now as any
time"
He grasped the post for support as he came
YEARLY up the steps. The man on the porch
came forward and grasped his hand. "why
Ell, old fellow, how do you do" were the
words that fell on the young mans ear like
the refreshing drops of rain on the thirsty
flowers
He raised his eyes and beheld his old friend,
Will Sydney. Once they were bosom friends
very joy as he recognized him.
Have you been sick, Ell. You look like a
ghost.n
'Sck No. am not sick, but have been
a fool and just found it OUT
The two young men entered the store, and
Will soon drew from bis friend the whole sad
story, and kneeling together they laid the
case before the heavenly father and with
clasped hands renewed their old friendship
It is needless to say the bill was met with
out the aid of young Camron's tempters.
From that day he was changed man. He
gave his attention to his business, and his
store soon began to resume its former flour
ishing condition. Old friends gathered around
him, and although he is often urged to join in
the pleasures of the merry fellows about him,
he knows their pleasures nearly proved his
ruin. He finds his true friends are not those
who fatter in his prosperity and accept his
hospitality, but those who stand fast when
the dark hour comes, He believes God sent
Will Sydney to him on that terrible day, and
no pursuasion could tempt Elmer Cannon to
touch the drink that had proved SO bitter an
enemy. He says it is like the evil one, it will
get you in a scrape but it will not help you
out. He feels that God is blessing him, and
the safest and surest way to get along is to
always try to do right and trust in God, who
holds him with His own right hand and will
not let him go.

How MILK SHOULD BE TAKEN Milk is
food that should not be taken ID copious
draughts like beer for other fluids, which
differ from It chemically. Milk should DO
slowly taken In mouthfnls, at short inter-
walls as else 1t Is almost sure to burden the
stomach, and to cause discomfort and pro-

reason that there Is insufficient digestive
agency to dispose of It, And, the better the
quality of the milk, the more severe the dis
comfort will be under these conditions.

The Washington Capital prints an in
terview with Judge Lochrane, of Geor-
gia. Speaking of Malone, the Judge
said: Il. without knowing him, am
interested in him. The Democrats have
displayed a sad lack of common sense
and reasonable policy in attacking and
in assailing him. 1t is unfortunate for
the South that such a spirit and senti-
ment is so prevalent.
After this first class puff of the chief
priest of Southern regulators, the in
terviewed, almost in the next breath, is
made to say:
"All that we have to do in the South
to make US a successful people-not a
section, but a people, for l abominate
the idea of sectiOns-Is to ~repudiate the
regulators, pay our debts, and so stimu-
late industry. As long as the present
condition of things rests as it lays, in
the lack of reciprocity between the citi-
Zens and the State, | had rather trust
my money in a faro bank than in a State
I could not sue"
We think with the Nashville Ameri-
can that it will puzzle the practical read
err to discover wherein these two senti-
ments consist. The Judge commits the
error of Republican Senators of trying
to carry water on both shoulders in this
reputation business.

LAwLEssNEss IN HAvANA.-In a COM
munication to the Navy Department,
dated Havana, March Both, Commander
Meade announces the arrival there of
the Vandalia, eight and a half days from
Aspinwall. Havana was said to be
healthy, but Consul General Hall in
formed Commander Meade that there is
a great deal of lawlessness prevailing
there, and many cut threats and thieves
wander without restraint through the
city at night. The British Consul was
attacked a few days since and nearly
killed. The Vandalia arrived at Key
West a day or two ago on her way to
Fortress Monroe, which she expected to
reach by the 18th of this month.
