Death Insurance.

Peter Trimmer, of York county aged
about 20 years, is heavily insured In va
rious companies, among others the
York County Mutual Aid having poll
cies Of $4,000 on his life, and the Pruden-
tial of Harrisburg $4,000. Other COM
panies are said to be interested to large
amount. Trimmer Ia said to be some
what addicted to drink, and during Fri
day night bottle containing whlskey
and some other ingredients was wrap
ped in paper, directed to him, and placed
in box in his barn. Trimmer is In the
habit of feeding the stock early in the
morning, and it is supposed that some
one interested in his death placed the
bottle where It would be first reached by
him.
On Saturday morning, however, Mrs.
Kraft, daughter of Mr.. Trimmer, first
entered the barn and found the bottle
She discovered sediment in the bottle,
and suspecting it contained poison, car
ried it to DIR. j. b. Kain, Of Manchester,
who tasted it and found 1t very bitter
and also detected sediment. He was
suspicious of its contents, and 1t Is said
pronounced 1t to be poison. After talk
ing portion of the contents from the
bottle he returned the rest to Mrs. Kraft,
with instructions to put it carefully
away from everything else, and If "any-
thing happened the contents would have
to be analyzed." If the insurance busi-
ness continues to boom It will soon be

Weakened Out Of a Long Sleep.

Several months ago Mr.. II. +. Osborne
of Newark, N. j., bought pair of
prairie dogs in Colorado, and took them
to his home at Newark. Last December
he decided to give them their customary
winter sleep under the ground. He had
a deep hole excavated in his garden, and
placing the dogs therein in box, with
a piece of carpet for bedding, he shovel
ed in the earth till the box was buried
several feet. On Tuesday the box was
dug up, and the dogs were found close
together in a sound sleep. They were
taken in the house, and quickly regain
ed consciousness. On Thursday they
played together, and seemed to be well
and strong.

Calling in the Bonds.

The financial policy of the Govern
ment is clearly outlined in the circular
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury
last week. Secretary Window has
been assured, not only by the national
banks, which hold in the neighborhood
of $46,000,000 of the 6s as security for
circulation, but by firms owning large
amounts of the bonds and representa-
tives of bondholders, that they will
gladly present their bonds to be re-
stamped to bear 81 per cent. interest
until Congress refunds them. No invi-
tation for proposals to purchase the
$104, ,0O0, 900 of bonds has been issued by
the Secretary, and none will be issued
for the present. 1t will be seen that the
Secretary requires those who desire to
have their bonds restamped to notify
him of the fact before the 10th of May,
and he will be able to tell definitely
whether he must sell bonds to provide
for the payment of any portion of the
6s or not. If the greater portion .of
them are presented to be re-stamped he
will not need to sell bonds ,as the surplus
revenues which can, to certain extent,
be anticipated, will suffice to redeem in
the neighborhood of $60,000,00O of the
6s. When the 6s are provided for, the
best method of dealing with the matur-
ing 5s will be considered.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VEGETABLEs--
The yegetable-eater can extract from
his food all the principles necessary for
the growth and support OF the body as
well as tor the production of heat and
.orce. provided that he selects veg
etables which contain all the essentiai
elements named. But he must Tor this
purpose consume the best cereais-
wheat or oats; or the legumes-oeans'
peas, or lentils; or he must swalio Y
and digest large weight of vegetable
matter of less nutritious value, and,
therefore, at least containing one ele-
ment in large excess in order 10 obtain
all the elements he needs. Thus the
Irishman requires for his support ten
or eleven pounds of potatoes daily
which contain chiefly starch, OF which
he consumes a superfuous quantity,
very little nitrogen and scarcely any
fat: hence he obtains when he can
some buttermilk or bscon, or a her
ring, TO supply the deficiency. Inc
Highlander, living mainly on oatmeal,
REQUIRES a much smaller weight; this
grain contains not only the starch but
much nitrogen, and a fair amount OF
1at, although Hot quito suiacio'
this purpose, which is usually sup
piled by adding milk or little bacon
10 his diet. On the other hand. the
man who lives chiefly or largely on flesh
and eggs as well as bread obtains pre-
cisely the same principles, but served
in concentrated form, and a weight
of about two or three pounds OF such
food is full equivalent 10 the Irish
mans ten or eleven pounds of potatoes
and extras.

How He Put Up the stove.

A short time ago an English emf
grant family arrived in this Country,
and being destitute of everything, a
few kind-hearted people gave them
sundry articles to help them to go to
housekeeping, and among other things
a stove. The donor forgot, hewever,
TO send along the necessary pipe. The
day being very cold, the first thing
which the father of the wondering
foe turned his attention to was the
making of fire. With graceful eyes
surveying the stove (the first he had
ever seem. and then glaRcing at the
stoye-pipe hole in the chimney, which
was about two feet from the ceiling, he
wondered how the smoke could get up
and out of that small hole. His ewes
rested upon some hooks in the ceiling,
which former tenant bad used TOR
drying spples thereon, and he natur-
ally came 10 the conclusion that they
were Intended to hang the stove upon.
There was 40 time to be lost and so
with the aid of chairs and table, and a
good deal OF exertiOn, the able-bodied
man lifted the stove up so that the
stove-pipe hole, which happened to be
at the side oil the stove, rested nicely in
the chimney, while his better half lash
ed it TO the aforementioned hooks with
rope, which came around their scanty
luggage After every thing was secure
tue patient housewife FASTENED to pre-
pare some wood wherewith to make a
me, While The IerspirIng father was
oesigniDg in Lis peIplexed mind some
kind of a scsffoid whereon his wife
could stand to cook the frugal meal.
But his IDEAS were overthrown by the
sudden appearance of the donor of the
stove, bearing the forgotten pipe. An
explanation was in order, and af er a
hearty laugh. the bewildered English
man was thoroughly initiatel into the
mysteries Of the American way of put
ting up stoves,

Tae announcement is again made that
process has been discovered for tax
ing photographs possessing all the bril-
lianey and delicacy OF the natural col
ors, and an exhibition of pictures thus
naturally colored has just been held in
London. According 10 the reports, the
eolors are produced by the action of
llg ht alone in the camera, and owe no
thing whatever to the artists brush.
In the photographs exhibited, the COL
oring appeared 10 be quite true to na-
ture, and delicate tones and shades
were clear TO the view. The flesh tint
was exact 10 life, and full justice was
done TO gorgeous regimentsls. The
protruded tongue OF dog IN one of The
photographs possessed the exact color
of nature. Some of the guests, says the
English Mechanic, inspecting this col
lection, and not fully acquainted with
the character of the latest invention,
took it for granted that the work was
done by skilful, artistic hands on
ivory and other material, and could
scarcely believe their eyes when in
formed that the color, as much as the
form and outline, was produced by the
VI Naf SdA tiuu III
vestigation, however, would then show
that human handicraft was not in il:
for there were touches and effects
which natures pencil of light could
alone accomplish. The contention is
that photographs colored by artists,
however clever, must be more or less
"monotonous, hard. untrue to nature
and to the originals" The process was
discovered, it is said, by French
scientist, but has since undergone i'm
provement by the proprietor of the
patent for England. Ii the new sys-
TEN prove an unqualified success, the
reward will not have been reaped with
out much labor in the past; for num-
erous attempts have been made to in
duce the sun pencil to fix coiors in the
pictures it draws in the camera; but
chemical and mechanical difficulties
have stood in the way. In the new
process colors are said not only to be
faithfully produced. but protected from
the action OF light by being passed
through boiling solution, Of which
gelatine forms the principal ingredient
and that some OF the photographs so
treated have been exposed for months
to the sun without being, in any wise,
affected by the ordeal. Unfortunately
the process is as yet unknown, as it Is
likely to be for some time to come.

INpRoyED VISEGAR-MAKING Pro

IMPROVED VINEGAR-MAKING PRO-
CEss.-The transformation of alcoholic
liquids into vinegar has long been a
matter of discussion. Pasteur holds
that the formation of vinegar is ply
siological phenomenon caused by vege-
tation of a particular bacterium, the
Mycoderma aceti, while Lisbig saw in
1t merely a chemical action of oxygen
on alcohol. Recent observations by
Herr Wurm, at the Breslau Institute
of Plant-Physiology, are regarded as
putting the former view beyond a
doubts and Herr Wurm has succeeded
in effecting the industrial manufacture
of vinegar IN accordance with Past
eur's iGea. The conditions are SOW
ing OF pure bacteria, uniform tenn
perature of 50 deg. c., and well-reg-
uiate0 addition OF alcohol. The pro-
cess gees on in large covered wooden
recepEacles with side holes for air. IN
to which are put 200 litres Of mixture
OF vinegar, water, and alcohol, along
with some mineral salts (phosphates OF
potash, lime, magnesia, and ammonia) =.
The manufacture is said TO be consider
ably more rapid than that BY the old
method, and distinctly economical.

To detect the presence of chiccory in
coffee, the microscope examination is
the best but as this Is not always possi-
BILE, the following method may De en-
ployed: The coffee is spread on sheet
of white paper. The grains of coffee
then present an angular appearance,
while the cbiccory has an amorphous
appearance, and Is of a darker color
When the suspected grains are picked
out with 4 needle, the coffee grains
will jump away or are split by it, but
the chiccory grains, being softer, are
easily punctured. The softer grains
when crushed carefully between the
teeth produces gritty sensation like
fine sand. Ii ehiccory is present, its
flavor is more of an acid bitter than
the aromatic bitter taste of coffee.
Chiccory In coffee may be thus roughly
estimated: About two grammes Of
dried ground coffee are sIited in hair
sieve from the finest dust which con-
sists of pure coffee; the larger grains
are macerated for some hours with
cold water, and then thrown on a
piece of stretch cloth and rubbed with
the fingers, when the chiccory is forced
tnrough, leaving the coffee grains on
the cloth. The coffee is then collected,
dried and weighed. The loss OF weight
gives the weight of the ch:ccory,
