Judge Black.

A few years ago young man fashion
ably dressed took his seat at the table of
the Girard house, in Philadelphia. There
was an air of self-conscious superiority in
the youth which attracted general atten-
ton. He read the menu with smothered
disgust, gave his orders with tone of
lofty condescension, and when his neigh
Dor civilly handed him the pepper.box,
stared at him for his presumption as
though he had rendered him an insult.
In short, person of the blood could not
have regarded mob of serfs with more
respectable travellers about him. Pres
emily tall, powerfully built old man en-
tered the room, and seated himself at one
of the larger tables. He was plainly
dressed, his language was markedly SIM
pie; he entered into conversation with
his neighbor, who happened to be poor
tradesman, and occasionally during his
dinner exchanged ideas with little lady
of five summers who sat beside him. The
colored servants spoke to him as an old
friend. Glow is your rheumatism,
John ?" he said to one, and remembered
that another had lately lost his son. "Who
is that old.fashioned gentleman ?" asked
a curious traveller of the steward. "Oh,
that is Judge Jere Black, the greatest
jurist in the country" was the enthusiast
tic reply. "Aud the young aristocrat ?
He surely is somebody of note" "He is
a drummer who sells fancy soaps" Judge
Jeremiah Black, who has Just died, was
noted and feared in public life for the
massive force of his intellect. "Every
blow kills |" said a listener to one of his
arguments. On the other side, an old
farmer neighbor wrote Of him, We shall
never have another man as pure, kindly
and simple among u.s." The boys who
will make up our next generation could
find much to study in the massive nature
of this old man with his powerful brain
his simple, direct manner, and his unfal
tering, childlike faith in God. With his
last breath he took his aged wife by the
hand, and saying, "Lord, take care Of
Mary" so died.-Aduance.

The following letter to Coleman's Rural
World from Hutchinson, Kansas, under
date of September 18th, will be of inter-
est to all who are interested in the develop
ment of domestic sugar production
"The people hereaway are jubilant
over the success of Professor Stevenson
of the Hutchinson sugar refinery. -Four
centrifugals are running to-day, throwing
out a splendid sugar, a sample OF which
inclose, and runs LOO pounds to 200 gal
Ions of syrup. The syrup from it is
light colored, and of a very fine quality.
1t is still rich in sugar, and the professor
says he will re-crystalize and get three to
four pounds more to the gallon. Syrup
made on Saturday showed sugar made in
an hour, and syrup made at midnight,
Saturday, was nearly solid sugar Mon
day morning. 1t is busy spot, two thou
sand acres of cane in sight from the roof,
and forty-fve teams hurrying it into the
mill, which devours over half cord
minute the day through. There are 153
men, eighty of whom are divided into
day and night watches at the refinery.
The professor reckons the daily output
at 10000 pounds of sugar and 1000 gal
Ions of syrup. The New Workers who
are backing up the concern are standing
around the centrifugals in jubilant spir-
its. The president, looking out of the
window Just now, at the cane-carriers be-
meath, loaded ten inches deep with cane,
called to the company, Gentlemen, here
is view commanding the beginning and
the finish. There is the green cane CO.
ing into the mill, and here is this beauti-
full sugar pouring from the centrifugals. !"
From another column of the same Jour-
nal we learn that the Hutchinson Sugar
Refining Company has $125,0OO invested
in works at Hutchinson, which it pro-
poses to make their headquarters, while
they will establish branch mills all over
the state, from which the crude products
can be shipped to the central works for
refinery. From the crop grown this year
the company expects to make 5000 bar
rels of sugar and 1000 barrels of syrup.
All grades of refined sugars will be made
as are turned out by any sugar refinery.
1t looks as if the sorghum industry was
fairly out of the woods.

Sunshiny Rooms Again.

We have heretofore spoken of the great
Importance of pure sunshine. No article
of furniture that will not stand sunlight
should be put in room, for every room
in dwelling should have the windows 30
arranged that some time during the day
food of sunlight will force itself into
carpets. Better the color of the carpets
than the color of the cheeks. The inn
portance of admitting the light of the
sun freely to all parts of our dwelling
cannot be too highly estimated. Indeed
perfect health is nearly as dependent on
pure sunlight as it is on pure air. A sun
bath is of more Importance in preserving
healthful condition of the body than is
generally understood. 1t costs nothing,
and that is misfortune, for people are
deluded with the idea that those things
only can be good or useful which cost
money. But remember that pure water,
fresh air, and sunlit homes, kept free
from dampness, will secure you from
many heavy bills of the doctors, and give
you health and vigor which no money
can procure. 1t is well-established fact
that people who'live much In the sun are
usually stronger and more healthy than
those whose occupations deprive them OF
sunlight. And certainly there is nothing
strange in the result, since the same law
applies with equal force to nearly every
animate thing in nature. 1t is quite easy
to arrange an isolated dwelling SO that
every room in it may be flooded with sun
light some time in the day, and it is pos
sible that many town houses could be sc
built as to admit more light than they
now recelve.--Selected.

"Oh, don't see how you can eat it.
This is much nicer way. You see put
the butter in the kettle, and melt it. Then
throw in handful of corn-mesl, which
clarifies it. Then boil it til can see
my face in it, and then l put it down in
ocks. But now for my Strudel"
You must tell me all about It," said
Mrs. Alley, as the frau brought pan of
dough from the cupboard. "How did
you make the dough ?"
"It is make of one pint of -four, lit
tie butter, salt, and warm water. !
kneaded it well, then covered it, and let it
rest an hour. Now L shall draw it out
thin--this way"
She proceeded to roll the dough until
quite thin, and then, taking it in both
hands, drew it out deity and dexterously
into large, thin sheet that covered the
whole top of the table.
"Now, Katie, bring the fried bread"
Katie responded by bringing some lit
tie dice cut from the white Semmel and
fried brown. Beginning at one side of
the doughty table-cover, she spread over
it some of these dice, together with some
raisins, some melted butter, and some
Schier. KdSe, or Dutch cheese. She then
began rolling up the dough, making con-
tinual application of the aforementioned
ingredients, until at length she had q
roly-poly" as big as mans arm, and
at least three feet long. This immense
roll she now began to coil up, and when
this was done the Strudel, or whirlpool,
was committed to deep pan, which bore
a generous supply of fat, and the whole
was slowed away in the oven, to emerge
in an hour, filling the house with an appe-
tizing odor.
eft smells awful dood here" said Myo,
coming in.
cit tastes good, too," said the frau,
when his remark had been interpreted to
her, sand you shall have some. think
it is better if you put apples in it,
but we don't often have apples. And we
can't afford to have Strudel very often,
but this is feast day"
Luxurious indeed was the feast of fried
elder-blossoms and Strudel, and for the
first time the observant American eyes
saw fresh meat upon the table. And very
happy looked all the faces gathered
around the board, and very hearty was the
united vocal thanksgiving when the feast
was ended; but on the morrow they
would gather as cheerfully around meal
of black bread and sour-milk soup, or a
soup made of water, colored and favored
with brown flour and lard, and dignified
by the name of an Eingebrennte Suppe, and
just as hearty would be their vocal thanks.
Years have gassed since then, but men,
ory still pictures that scene. The smil-
ing sky the pine-covered mountain
slopes; the distant and more awful brown
and treeless tops of the highest peaks of
the Semmering Alps; the humble peas
ants cottages nesting in the sombre
shadows of the pine forests and, in that
low, mokeembrowned kitchen, that little
group of coarsely clad, toil-hsrdened, un-
educated peasants, standing around the
remnants of their coarse and meagre
meal-each, from the gray-haired grand
father down to the prattling child, with
clasped hands and upturned faces, from
the depth of thankful hearts, repeating
their Praise God from whom all blessings
fow."-Mary A. Allen, in Christian Unon.

Too Much Protection.

The heavy and widespread failures in
the leather and boot and shoe trade,
amounting to an aggregate of five mil
lions of dollars, are calculated to raise
the inquiry whether the governmental
policy pursued in regard to our indus
tries is such as a wise business policy re-
quires. The theory has been that our
manufacturers should be protected from
foreign competition, and this it has been
sought to bring about by import duties
on not only manufactured goods, but on
the machinery and raw material required
in their production. The principle of
protection, once admitted, must go the
rounds. Not only must the manufacturer
be protected from the competition of manu-
featured goods, but the man who makes
the machinery which he uses must also be
protected, and so duty is imposed on ma.
chinery. The men who own or dig the
iron and coal, who cut the timber, who
raise the wool or hides, or who furnish
anything which enters either directly or
indirectly into the manufacturing bust
ness, must also be protected, and 80 i'm
port duties are levied on all raw material
from abroad. The result is that the cost
of production is so enhanced that our
manufacturers are shut out of foreign
and shut up to our home markets. Mean
while such has been the improvements in
machinery and processes that the produc-
ing capacity of all our manufactures has
been greatly enlarged. The result is seen
to-day in an accumulation of stocks of
cotton and wooden goods, boots and shoes,
iron and hardware, for which there is no
present demand. Mills are shutting down
and closing their doors against their en-
ployes, who are left without resources on
which to live, and business firms going to
the wall. At the same time money
never was so plenty, nor so cheap, and
the agricultural interests of the country,
the real basis of our prosperity were never
more prosperous. England, France and
Germany, whose manufacturers are not
hampered by protection, are supplying
the markets of the world with cotton and
wooden fabrics, boots and shoes, iron and
hardware, of which our warehouses are
full to repletion, largely in excess of any
home demand, but which their owners
cannot send abroad, because, by the op
Grafton of our tariff laws, their cost has
been so enhanced that they cannot be
sold in the markets.-N. E. Farmer.

OF all the callings to which man has
ever turned his attention, farming re-
quires the most actual practical expert
ence. The custom in the New England
states in the olden time, as it is said, of
sending the dull boys to college, and put
ting the bright ones to work on the farm,
was a sensible one. A boy of ordinary
mind can be educated to the standard of
the so-called learned professions, or to fol.
low the routine of the professors chair
but it takes bright brain and an ener.
getic hand to 80 manage the soil as to
make it willing, profitable servant.
