The Missouri Pacific has an official
who is in charge of a queer depart
ment, says the RdilaO0y Register. He
looks after those people who wish
their friends transported from one
point to another and yet are afraid to
trust them with the money. For in
stance, a diSsipated man is stranded in
Texas. His friends in the East are
willing to pay his way back, but don't
want to send him any funds. for fear
that he will squander them; in such a
case the money is paid to the company,
and this agent looks after the matter
and the conductors alone handle the
tickets. So with sick people who are
without money-the company receives
pay from their friends and brings them
home. Children are also cared for and
transported long distances. It is sur
prising to learn how often the services
Of this official IS required. and he is
kept busy all the time in answering
inquiries and perfecting arrangements.

Dame Ursula's Treasure.

If unkept walks. trailing, neglected

Wy are the essentials of the picturesque,
Clovis Court presented them all. There
we're box trees that had formerly rep
resented pyramids, garden seats and
lively growing cocks; but the hands
hat pruned them were gone, and the
spectator now only saw ragged and un-
Idly foliage. The bowling-green, once
ike velvet, had added nettles
and thistles to its own rank crop.
Could one of the beauties who, GEN.
fury ago bowled there, have seen it,
she would have picked up her dainty
skirts and fled.
A beauty of a century later stands
among the desolation.. What picture
is the auburn haired maiden, leaning
against an old, weather-beaten SUM-
dial! Simply clad in dark gray dress,
abunch of pale yellow chrysanthemums
carelessly fixed near the throat, her
white little hands clasped before her,
Ursula Barring looked sadly over the

reached the sun-dial.
'.Mr. Norman! why are you here?"

young man, coolly, and at the same time

The girls face paled-she trembled
and looked down.
Guy, I love you--oh, indeed, love
you,-but my mother trusts me. She
said your uncle had told her he could
not hear of anything between US; and
we are very proud, Guy"
The young man dropped her hand
hastily.
you don't love as do, or uncles
and mothers would be nothing to you,
he said, haughtily.
Ursula looked up with her lovely.
tremulous gaze of love.
"Uncles, perhaps not; but mother.
Guy! What are girls good fer who
do not love and honor mothers like

A handsome. winning face stopped
to her own, and begged forgiveness.

his bond, and any statement coming from
him would never be doubted by any one
knowing him He conducts, at 5 and Z
Spring street, a very large factory for the
manufacture of sashes, blinds, doors. etc
In connection with this he employs large
number of men, and many of the largest
buildings in the city are monrDents of his
skill as builder and architect. Recently,
when called on, he was found at his place
busily engaged in directing small army of

we could hear of, without finding any re-
lief, until my sister, who lives at Bridge
port, Conn, suggested 10 her 10 use Hunts
Remedy, as she knew ofa number of per-
sons there who had been benefited by using
it. She commenced using it, and finding re-
lief she has continued until now she has
used in ali eight (S) bottles, from which she
has received great benefit. Her case is con-

saws, Hunts Remedy Is all that keeps her

1T is fact now well established, and
scarcely any scientific physician CouDts
it, that tuberculosis, or consumption, l.
caused by yacillus or living micro.
scOpic germ, which multiplies In the
body, especially IN the lungs, and may
be gwen to one person by another,
said DIR Wright recently.
Whence do these germs en- anate?"
They are fonnd in the sputum oi
consumpuye patients, IN phlhIsical uI-
GERS OF the throat, IN the air breathed
of such patients, in the discharge from
the ear OF scroiulous persons, and IL
the pus OF scroiulous joints"
Are there any other ways?'
'CoIsUmptIves may communicate the
disease by close contact to sound per.
sons, with whom they sleep or with
whom they live IN unveBtIlated houses.
DR.. julius Dreschfeld, professor of pa
thology III Owens College, Vlctolis
University, in a paper read at the last
meeting OF the British Medical Associa-
uon, gives a startling account of the
death by consumption of eleven III
fants, ali under SIX months, who were
assisted INTO life by midwife who WI
known to be consumptlye and who snb.
sequently died OF consumption. She
was IL the habit, when attending co.,

What precautions are nee essary?"
''As consumption kills more persons
than any other disease, not only In this
city but everywhere, pen sons coming IN

much care. 1t is a well-known fact that
COWS, especially those confined III close

No. The milk OF such animals will

The Manufacture of Apple jelly.

The wholesale manufacture of apple
jally has become au important business.
IEe process IN one OF the largest manu-
iactoues in tine State OF New York Is
described in the report of the State
Agricultural Society, from which We
condense: The fac Ory Is located on q
creek which furnishes the necess airy
power. The apples as brought by lar
Iners are stored in large bins by the
side of the creek above the mill. When
wanted they are discharged from the
bins into a trough Of running water.
This process gives them thorough
securing, and all refuse, litter, dirt.
ETC., Is carried away by water. The
apples are hOisted by an endless chain
elevator from the tank 10 the grinding
room, the buckets on the elevator being
perforated to allow the water to escape.
They are carried to the upper story,
whence they roll 10y thief of gravity
TO the Crater. The cheese Is laid up III
strong cotton cloth instead Of straw as
il old times. The cider as it is ex-
pressed passes TO the storage tank and
thence to the deiecator, copper pan
eleven feet long and three feet wide. 1t
Is here heated al first moderately, by
steam pipes, Till all impurities have
risen to the surface and been SKINNED
of. and then a greater degree OF heat Is
applied to Ieuuce 1t to semi-syrup or
boiled cider. Prom the defecator it
passes to the evaporatOr, also supplied
with copper steam pipes, and SO ar
ranged that the semi-syrup intro
duced at one end l. reduced to the
proper density III Its passage through,
flowing off in continuous stream of a
consistency of thirty degrees 10 thirty
two degress Baume. Great care is
taken III all these operations to preserve
cleanliness, every part being thoroughly
cleansed by hot water and steam each
day. No fermentation is allowed to
take place III the cider before reduction.
The Jelly flows from the evapora OF
into large tubs, from which 1t is drawn
while still warm INTO the various pack
ages IN which it Is shipped to market.
A tayorIte package for family use is
little covered wooden buckets holding
five and ten pounds respectively, and
which are familiar to the grocery trade.
The capacity Of this factory Is from
1900 to 1900 pounds per day. A bushel
ct frult will prolu uce from four to five
pounds of jelly. Crab apples make the
finest jelly: sonr, grabbed, natu al fruit
the best looking; and a mixture of all
varieties the most satisfactory product.
The pomace is manipulated ID wa,er
when the seeds sink and the lighter paIt
flows Cff, and it Is said that the value of
the seeds will pay the cost of all the
labor employed. They are sold to nur-
serymen tor planting.

uou caro,,na necame a Rice state.

The destiny of South Carolina was
changed by sirgle lucky experiment.
Inl696. when the colony was more than
thirty wears old, the pioneers we're stu
engaged IL buJIng furs from the Inol-
ans, extracting rosin, tar, ana tnrpen-
tine from the pines, cutting timber for
shipment, and growing slender harvests
of grain on the light soil along the
coast. Attempts had already been
made to grow indigo, ginger aud col
ton: but these had not answered ex-
pectauon. A small snd unprohta Die
kind of rice had also been tined ID
1858. But one Thomas Smith thoughi

his garden in Charleston resembled tne
soil ne had seen bearing rice III Mada-
eascar. It chanced IN 1896, that
brieantine from that island anchored Ii
distress near Sullivan's Island, and the
captain, an old friend OF this enter
prising Thomas Smith, was able to fur-
nish HIM bag of Madagascar rice SUIT
able for seed. 1t grew iuxurlantiy In
the wet corner Of the garden, ana lne
seed from this little harvest was widely
distributed. in three or four years the
art of husking the rice was learned.
African slaves were easily procured IN
the West Indies, and the race OF society
III the young State was presently
changed: South Carolina became land
of great planters and of multitude OF
toitng negroes. Smith was raised TO
the rank of landgraye, and made gov
ernor Of the colony three years after
the success OF his rce-patch. The new
gram was at first grown on uplands;
out The planters afterward discovered
that the neglected swamps were more
coDgepiel and less exhaustible. The
cruelty hard labor of separating the
grains from the adherlng husks crippled
the strength and even checked the H.
crease OF tine negroes; but IN the years
jast preceding the Revolution this task

by the force of the incoming and out

use their wings eighteen days after
they had lost their heads. Crickeis
ieaped on the third day after they had
been beheaded, and the -mantis
showed signs OF life on the fourteenth
day after the head had been separated
from the body. He gives still more

that the head In insects cannot be suit
