noK ALCOHOL Is naDE.

When barley or other grain is stepped
in water till it sprouts, and then, care
fully dried, it becomes what is termed
malt. By this process part of the starch
of which the grain is mostly composed
has been converted into sugar, and a
new substance has been developed,
known as diastase, a heterogeneous body,
which Immediately, when the malt is
mixed with water, reacts on the remain
ing starch and transforms it also into
sugar, the liquid consequently soon as
Stunning sweet taste. We have now, in
fact, solution of sugar, which is known
as wort; but we may attain the same by
using unmalted grain-potatoes, peas,
beans or other starchy materials which,
10y the addition of dilute sulphuric acid,
is converted into a soluble sugar. Hav-
ing thus obtained a solution of sugar
from any of these sources, or still more
directly from beet root or "toothsome
cane" yeast is added to the wort, and
the process of fermentation" is rapidly
set up by which the sugar is decomposed
into two chief products, alcohol and car
bonic acid gas, and several minor ones,
glycerine, succinic acid, ETC., ninety
five out of every hundred parts of sugar
being transformed into alcohol and car
bonic acid, four parts going to form
glycerine, etc., and one part as nourish-
ment to the yeast plant, which has null
tipied immensely, and now forms a.
frothy scum upon the surface of the
liquid. By the fermentation spirits
have been produced, and the object of
the next process, the distillation of the
fermented wort or mash, is to separate
the spirits from the liquid in which it
exists. The produce of this operation is
an impure spirit knownas slow wines,' %
which has to be redistilled at a lower
temperature to get rid of part of the wa
ter and oils with which it is contaminat-
ed, the product of this second distilla-
ton being the mixture Of alcohol and
water known as "whisky" or "spirits of
] wine," because it was by the distiIlation
of wine that spirits were first obtained.

DIDN'T LIKE THE SECURITY.

Several years ago one of the most
prominent cattle men in Wyoming, who
can to-day easily command $1,0O0,000
for a cattle trade without impairing his
business, went to Boston to negotiate
loan with Massachusetts, capitalists. He
met an old man who knew more about
cent per cent. than he did about Wyom
ing and Colorado cattle, and began to
talk business. He said that he was
making large profits on his present in
vestments, and therefore he wanted to
put more capital into the business, very
naturally, to increase his income. Mr..
Moneybags asked what security would
be given. II would secure the loan By
mortgage on my herd, sir" where
are your cattle?" "Some in Wyoming
some in Nebraska and some in Co!oc.-
do" How much land have you Under
fence?" "None." "How much land 10
you own?" "Nota foot" Whose land
does your stock Craze on?" Govern

under the dismantled maypole before
the village green. He saw the man who
was to die at sunset standing up in the
dusky air, tall as King and as beauti-
full as Absalom. He gazed with knitted
brow and angry eye; but his lips did
not give utterance to the quick COM
mand that trembled on them, for girl
came flying toward him. Pikeman and
archer stepped aside to let her pass.
She threw herself upon the turf at his
horses feet; she lifted her bleeding
and tortured hands to his gaze, and
once more poured out her prayer for
the life of her lover; with trembling
lips she told him why Richard still
ived-why the curfew had not sounded.
Lady Maud, looking out of her lat
ticed window at the castle, saw the
great Protector dismount, lift the faint
ing form In his arms and bear her to
her lover. She saw the guards release
the prisoner, and she heard the shouts
of Joy at his deliverance; then she vel
coined the night that shut out the scene
from her envious eye and sepultured
her in its gloom.
At the next matin bell old Jasper
died, and at the curfew toll he was laid
beside the wife who had died in his
youth, but the memory Of whom had
been with him always.

GETTING THE BEST OF B4RNUM.
In 1875 one of P. T. Barnum's writers
carded the procession as "Nearly a
League of Lavish Lustre." An am
bilious Vermonter thought he saw in
this statement an opportunity of making
himself rural lion at the great show
mans expense, and SO abruptly tackled
him in the Office of the American Hotel,
at Burlington, in presence of large
crowd, and the following dialogue en-
sued
els your name Barnum ?"

"You advertise two miles of pro-
cession, don't you?"
"I scarcely know, but presume So.

"You do advertise it, and you amt

"Haven't we?"
"No, you amt.
"There is mile of it, isn't there?"
"Perhaps there is
"Well, there's another mile Of excited
people following it, which makes two
miles, don't it %
A roar of laughter greeted this sally,
amid which the crushed Green Noun
taineer slid out, sadder man, and wise
enough not to again try to get the bes

there just above her, with its great
brazen mouth and wicked tongue, the
bell hung.
A worm-eaten block for step and
one small white hand had clasped itself
above the clapper-the other prepared,
at the tremble, to rise and clasp its
mate, and the feet to swing off-and
thus she waited. Jasper was old and
slow, but he was sure, and it came at
last. A faint culver, and the young
feet swung from Their rest, and tie
tender hands clasped for more til Il
their life the writhing thing. There
was grooming and creaking Of the rude
pulleys above, and then the strokes
came heavy and strong. Jasper's hand
had not forgotten its cunning, nor his
arm its strength. The tender, soft form
| was dashed to and fro. But she chung
| to and caressed the cold, cruel thing
Let one stroke come, and a thousand
might follow-for its fatal work would
be done. She wreathed her white arms
about it, so that every pull Of the great
ropes crushed into the flesh. It tore
her, and wounded and bruised; but
there in the solemn twilight the brave
woman swung, and fought with the cur
few; and God gave her victory.
The old bell-ringer said to himself
"Aye, Huldah, my work is done. The
pulleys are getting too heavy for my
old arms. My ears, too, have failed
me- [ dinna hear one stroke of the
curfew. Dear old bell, it is my ears
that have gone false, and not thou.
Farewell, old friend.
And just beyond the worn pavement
a shadowy form again went fitting past
him. There were drops of blood upon
the white garments; and the face was
like the face of one who walked in her
sleep, and the hands hung wounded and
powerless at her side.
