A chemist at Munich has produced
from coal tar white crystalline pow
der which greatly resembles quinine in
its action, and which has been named
karin. 1t costs about $50 q pound,
however, SO the quinine makers need
have no fears of the rival drug.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Live animals intended for slaughter
will hereafter be sold by weight in
England. Heretofore it has been the
custom TO estimate their weight by the
eye or by measurement.
They now have goats in England
that give three or four quarts of milk
per day. Some specimens have re-
Gently sold for $50 per head. The in
terest in goat raising is increasing, and
the milk is in good demand at high
prices.
In 1872 n deposit Of ochre equal in
quality TO the French product was dis
covered on the Appomatox river, at
Bermuda, Va. From this deposit are
now taken one thousand tons year,
or about one-third the fine ochres used
in the United States.
A French scientist, explaining why
fish eaten in Holland are superior to
those eaten in France, says that the
Dutch fishermen kill their fish as soon
as taken from the water by making It
slight longitudinal incision under the
tail with very sharp instrument.
The French fishermen, on the contrary,
allow their fish to die slowly, and this
slow death sOftens the tissues and rem
ders them more liable to undergo
change.
Naturalists will be interested in
learning that a doe having horns, so
prominent and well developed as to
give it all the appearance Of buck at
distance, has just been killed in
wood near Aachen, or AiX-la-Cha-
pelle, in Rhenish Prussia. 1t is well
known that old does show rudiments
of horns, but scarcely, if ever, Of such
size as to emulate those of the male.
In this instance the longer of the
horns was nineteen centimeters in
length.
NJ. Pasteur, of France, says that the
grass grown over the graves of cattle
that died of splenic fever is a source of
infection TO cattle feeding upon it. He
points to the agency of earth worms
in carrying the germs of deadly bac-
terra from buried carcasses to living
animals. Having introduced worms
into pit which had contained the car
casses of cattle that died from splenic
fever, he filled it with earth. In a
short time he procured from the in
testines of these worms the means of
reproducing the disease in its worst
forms by inoculation. He also showed
that the worms, by casting out over
the surface earth containing the bac-
terra germs. gave the disease to all
cattle that grazed over it.

Aaron Burr as CrOss.Examlner.

A writer thus describes the conclu-
sion Of q case in which Burr, the
SLAYER of Alexander Hamilton, was
one of the lawyers. The evening
session opened, and Burr resumed his
cross-eNamination of the witness. 1t
was a test of the profound skill and
subtlety of the lawyer, the self-pos-
session, courage and tact of the wit
ness standing on the very brink of a
horrible gulf firmly and intrepidly re-
sisting the efforts of the terrible man
to topple him over. At last, after
dexterously leading the witness TO an
appropriate point, Burr suddenly
seized lamp in each hand, and hold
ing them in such a manner that their
light fell instantaneously upon the face
of the witness, he exclaimed, in a
startling voice, like the voice of the
ayenger of blood: Gentlemen of the
jury, behold the murderer"
With a wild, cOnyulsiye start, a face
of ashy pallor, eyes starting from
their sockets, lips apart, his whole at
titude eyincing terror, the man sprang
from his chair. For a moment he
stood motionlesS, struggling to recover
his elf-possessi2n, But IL was only a
momentary struggle, shaking every
nerve with paralyling fear. Conscious
that the eyes Of all in the courtroom
were fixed upon him, reading the hid
den deeds of his life he left the wit
ness stand and walked shrinkingly TO
the door of the courtroom. But he
was prevented from making his es-
cape by the sheriff. The effect can be
better imagined than described. IL
struck the spectators with silent awe,
changing the whole ASPECT of the trial
in an instant, overthrowing the apoth
esis of che Encouragement, which he
was convinced would send the prisoner
to the gallows, saving an innocent
man from the deathful hands Of bold
and skillful periurer. The false wit
ness was arrested, two indictments
were found against him, one for muir
der, another for perjury. lie was ac-
quilted for murder, but subsequently
convicted for perjury, and sentenced
to a long term of Imprisonment.

steers east halfway across the Atlantic
before attempting to go directly on her
voyage. Then She strikes the trade

Mr.. Butler was entirely unfamiliar

the country, and when, twelve

Business Interests.

Among our nearest neighbors is.
the firm named above. Right good
neighbors they are, too. They don't
borrow our exchanges, don't ask for
"puffs, pay their subscription and
advertising bills, and so we are at
pee, with them. All the same, to-
day . improve the opportunity to
make few brief statements of facts
concerning them. The house is one
that exercises influence in the trade
circles of the town and county, and
it becomes legitimate target for a
reporters pencil.
There are three copartners in the
firm: Horace Bcall, Olin Beall and S.
Lee Phillips, and this partnership
dates from about eighteen months
ago, then succeeding II. Bcall & Co.
We don't know how long the house
has been established. In March,
1878, Horace Beall bought out Maj.
James Law. Hooff, (who had been in
the hardware trade here for twelve
years or more,) and he continued
alone until 1880, when his brother
became partner, under the style of
II. Beall & Co. So much for the his
tory of the house; now something as
n 1,-I,o+ - Sc ,Jo:,o
BcaIl Bros. & Phillips are, prima-
rily, hardware merchants. In their
case the term becomes a somewhat
comprehensive one, including, as it
docs, such other lines as rod and bar
iron and steel, wood work for carriages
and wagons, saddlery hardware,
paints, oils, glass, turpentinc, and a
host of other articles. This, how
ever, constitutes but one branch of
their business. The firm makes a
speciality of agricultural implements,
and we recount but simple fact
when we say that their implement
trade for the season just closed has
been the largest in the history of the
ouse. The firm arc also wholesale
dealers in the Latin & Rand powder.
In implements, Beall Bros. & Phillips
handle such wcll-known and tho
roughly reliable machines as the
d" Champion" binders, reaper and
mower, the Bickford & Huffman
drill, the "Farmer's FRIEND corn
planters the {" Root and " Wood
stock" plows, the Thomas" and
"Vlctor" hay raBcs, and many other
less noted but none the less desirable
makes of machines. We think it no
cxaggcration to say that the firm S
sale of implements was at least 100
per cent. greater this year than last ;
and this is to be accounted for by the
fact that not only were reliable nEl-
chimes sold but the firm worked hard
and used every honorable cxertion to
advance this department Of their bus
mess. In the meantime the other
lines of trade were by no means ig-
nored; but, on the contrary, the same
painstaking care was bestowed upon
them.
The co-partners unite in giving the
business in hand their personal at
tention. 1t is firm Of young men
who believe in the truism that * the
gods help those who help themselves, -"
and they certainly prove their faith
by their works.
