SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has burden for every mans shoulder
None can escape from its trouble aud care;
Miss it in youth and twill come when we re
older
And mt us as close as the garment we wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives unnvited,
Robbing our hearts of their treasures of song :
Lovers grow cold and friendships are sighted ;
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Everyday toll is everyday blessing,
Though povertys cottage and crust we NAV
share;
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing
But stout is the heart that is strengthened by
prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
Just when we mourn there are none to befriepd
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
lighter,
And somehow or other. we get to the end.

POISONED BY A PENCIL.-Mr. Samuel
Siarho, oi Vssselbarn, has heap in the habit
OF carrying copying pencil in his coat
pocket. One day last week Mr.. Clarke
came to Augusta aud while in the city he
purchased some troches for a cold, which
he put loose in the pocket where they were
constantly coming in contact with the lead
While returning to Vasselboro on the cars
nc felt tickling in his throat and to allay
the irritation partook of several troches.
His tongue at once began to swell and turn
black and by the time he arrived home he
was deadly sick, A physician was sum-
moned, who promptly administered anti.
dotes for the poison. 1t is said that piece
OF the lead of one of these pencils, half
the size of pea, will cause the death of a
robust man.

THE SUN CROSSES THE LINE.-At six
o'clock Sunday morning the imaginary line
called the equator and the astronomical
spring began that day, the coldest we have
had in this latitude for month. The days
and nights are now everywhere nearly equal
aud while the north pole is just coming into
light the south pole is sinking into the long
antarctic night. At the equator the sun is
exactly overhead at noon. Some persons
find it difficult to understand the astronom.
ical division of the seasons, which is never.
thclcss more accurate than the ordinary di>
vision. Astronomically the seasons begin
when the sun crosses the equator in the
spring and fall, and when he reaches the
two points of greatest divergence from the
equator in summer and winter. These
points fall some twenty days later in each
case than the dates fixed in the almanacs,
for the beginning Of the seasons. In real
ity the year has only two primary divisions
which arc determined by the position of the
sun north or south of the equator. Spring
and autumn are merely transitional periods
marking the gradual charge from cold to
warm and from warm to cold
TIE equinoctia storms, which occur twice

the equator, have immcmorially occupied

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE LORD May
oR.-Loudon, March 17.-Au attempt to
blow up the Mansion House was made last
night and caused no little excitement A
box containing forty pounds of compressed
gunpowder was placed in passage at the
east side of the building. The powder was
weighed this morniug. The box was placed
in position at halfBast eleven o'clock last
night, during dense mist, withouts attract
ing attention. A constable passing little
later saw something burning on the sill of
one of the windows facing George street,
With great presence OF mind he Immediate
ly pulled the burning stuff away, threw it
upon the ground and extinguished it with
his foot.
He was then surprised to find that the
burning stuff had been attached to heavy
box which lay on the window sill in the pas.
sage. The sides of the box were found
stuffed with fragments of an old carpet bag,
brown paper, and Irish newspapers. The
fuse ran from the centre of the powder
through hole in the side cf tho box to the
outside, where the fire was first seen by the
officer. Timely discovery prevented an ex.
plosion OF very serious character, although
the east side of the Mansion House is Of an
unusually substantial character. The Lord
Mayor and his family were sleeping in the
Mansion House last night. His Lordship
was not acquainted with the discovery until
an early hour this morning. A large num-
Der of men were at work digging up the
roadway on the west side of the Mansion
House all night. The police assert that the
explosion was intended for the Mayor for
voting for coercion. This, however, is
merly an assumption at present.
LONDON, March 1S, 1s91.-Great pre-
cautions have been taken for the safety OF
the Houses OF Parliament since the discov
cry of the plot to blow up the Mansion
House. The police in and around the build.
ings have been reinforced and the cellars
examined. The Standard says that two
American newspapers were found with the
powder box discovered near the Mansion
House. The Corporation of London has of.
fered G100 reward for tho discovery of the
perpetrators of the crime. Additional DO
lice force has been stationed at tho Mansion
House, the Bank of England aud other i'm.
portant buildings.

DO THE DYING SUFFER PAIN ?-People
do not like to think Of death. 1t is an un.
pleasant subject; but it constantly obtrudcs
itself, and there has been much speculation
as to whether mental or physical pain at
tend the final act Observation teaches us
that there is little pain Of either kind in
dying. Experience will come to us all one
of these days, but it will come too late to
benefit those who remain. 1t seems to be

proach the dreaded event, our tcrrors dim

SIMpLE LEMON PIE.-Fivc eggs, two
cups of sugar, one half cup of butter, ono
cup OF warm water, one cracker, pounded
fine, rind and juice Of one lemon; bake
with an upper and under crust This should
make two pies.
How APPLES CAN BE PREpARsD.-Be-
sides canning them, or making pies, apple,
dumplings and sauce, they are welcome
dish at our dinner table when peeled and
cut in quarters, and then made smaller still
and fried in little lard let each piece have
room enough so that it will keep its shape.
Delicious sauce may be made by cooking
the apples till they are very soft with boiled
cider /; sweeten with brown sugar boil the
apples and cider till the sauce is as thick as
custard, or even thicker. 1t does not taste
at all like common apple sauce and is good
with meat. 1t will keep for a long time in
cool room. 1t is healrhful practice to eat
an apple every day for dessert, and to pro,
VIDE apples f1r winter use regularly as you
do potatoes.
FARM PUDDING.-One cup of Indian
meal, one.half cup Of sugar, moistcn with
little milk pour slowly on the meal aud
stir until quite thick add one>half cup of
moasses and IA little salt bake in an earth.
en- dish two hours.
Cook NC BEETS.--One of the most sat-
isfactory ways to cook bects is to bake them.
When boiled, even if their jackets are left
on, great deal of the best part of the beets
is dissolved, and so lost. 1t will, of course
take little longer to bake than to boi
them but this is no objection. Allow from
fifteen to twenty minutes more for baking
slice them, and heat as you would if they
were boiled. After they are cooked season
with pepper, salt, butter, and squeeze o.

THINGS FOUND IN RAW SUGAR. had
read that sugar refners used bullocks' blood
to clarity the liquor, aud la my simplicity
asked my friend where was the bullocks'
blood. He laughed very heartily at my ig-
norance, and told me there had not been
such thing used iu 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 mo
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 ''real raw sugar" for domestic use. -
shudder as think of the quantity of mud
that must have eaten ir my time, and feel
annoyed at having been deluded into pay
ing penny pound more for the "rea raw
sugar" than l could have bought the pure
refined article for. told my fri,nd what
was passing through my mind, ut which he
again laughed, and said: every one that
comes to sec through the refinery says the
same thing. You sometimes h;ar gr,cers
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 public, we would never
again hear of such au accusation against the
poor grocer" My friend, seeing the dis.
gust l had displayed at the sand and mud
took me to the laboratory in conection with
the refinery, where he said he would show
mo even worse than mud in the raw sugar
He took small glass vessel like tumbler
into which he put tcaspoonful of ''rcal raw
sugar such as is sold in the shops, and
then poured some water slightly heated over
it. In short time little spevks appeared
on the surface, scarcely visible to the max ed
eye, two or three of which he placed under
a microscope and bade me look through it.
10 my amazemcnt | saw little insects like
lice crawling about. l asked what they
were, and was told they were the Icarus
sdcchdri, or raw-sugar mite, and that they
abound in raw sugar, more especially in the
better descriptions. l asked if there were
none to be found in refncd sugar, and my
friend said no; that they were all either re.
tanned in the fiter-bags or killed during the
boiling. l understand celebrated chemist
has estimated there will be as many as 100.
600 of these creatures in pound of raw su.
gar. learned that there were about q
dozen refnerics at work in Greenock, turn
ing out about 100000 to 30O,O tons of
soft, refined sugar per anumn, being more
than third Of all the sugar consumed in
Great Britain.--C Chambers Journal
