MALTING.


CnahSe lbafley INTO Malt.
There are four processes i'll the
operation of mailing: first, sleeping;
second, COUGHING; third, flooring these
two being carried on in one room, and
often counted one process; and fourth,
kjln-drying.
The process of sleeping is necessary
to promote termination, which is the
first requisite of mailing. Amechanical
as well rs a chemical change is the
result of this operation, as the softening
of the grain by the use of water is re-
quired to loosen the finty husk and
allow the germ to come through. With
the germ, which begins to develop
within an hour after being put in to
steep, springs into existence the
principle called ''diastase," derived
from the Greek word which means to
separate. Dia,tase is not only soluble
in itself, but ithas the power to dissolve
starch and finally convert it into what
is known as ''grape-Sugar that form
of saccharine matter most desirable in
beer. SO powerful is it that one part

TRICKS ON THE TRACKSI
Dangers from Which Engineers Save the
Public and Themselves.
[The Railway ReYiew.l


One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
re Is dependent for safety upon the en-
Sneer. Added to the responsibility Of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger of accidents caused by the
tricks of Jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly mean tricks.
Nlckle Plate engineer after his very first
rip was laid off because he had "cut out"
q the bearings of his engine. He was re-
lnstated, however, after he proved that
some rival had filled his OjliRg can lUith
emery. Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the aues of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss of his
position he died, and then a conscience
stricken rival confessed that he hud put
outn the tank so that it loaned and showed
WTster at the top gauge, when in reality
thsre was scarcely quart in the boiler!
These intense jealousies, together with
tins terrible anxiety incident to their
work, have terribly straining effect on
ths nerve, and statistics tell us that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
stiong and vigorous, they are not all

Morphine and Opium.

The British Consul at Annoy, China
notes the fact that the local consumption
of opium is largely on the increase-a
matter which he accounts for by the
rapid augmentation of the numbers of
the inhabitants of the district He also
tells us that the large consumption OF
mOrphia is attracting considerable at
tention, and that in his opinion "'there
is a great future for this poison" "At
first administered by foreign doctors as
an antidote fer opium-smOking, its sale
has now become the means by which a
number of their native apprentices gain
their living. Shops are open for the
traffic in all the large cities of this dis
trict, and the amount dispensed by these
ignorant vendors has been estimated at
from 500 to 400 ounces a month. The
fact is, morphia is not taxed and opium
is, so that it is much cheaper; and if it
were similarly dealt with by hecustoms
authorities (as is the ease in Manila) the
traffic would probably cease at once. 1t
is further stated that the vendors obtain
it direct from wholesale chemists in
London. The morphia-eater is, then,
quite coming personage.-& James

respect impressed every person as be-

A Bright Rodent,

A Troy lady the other night heard
footsteps in the house. Investigation
disclosed the presence of no intruder,
The footsteps were heard again, and
finally it was discovered that large
rat had obtained access to the prem
ises, and, walking upon oil-cloth, his
pattering steps had sounded louder
than might have been expected. This
rat was too cunning to enter any trap
and played a great many pranks in the
house before the hole through which he
came from the adjoining building was
discovered and closed. For instance, a
child of the family placed some candy
in bureau drawer on the third floor
of the house. On the following day
the candy was missed. 1t was mys-
terry where it had gone to, until it was
found neatly piled up under a sofa in
the parlor on the first floor. 1t was
again put away and again missed and
was again found in an entirely different
part OF the house from that where il
had been placed How the rat could
have carried the bon-bons one after an
other, without leaving any marks upor
them, either of his sharp claws or hi
teeth, was mystery, but he played tn,
trick with great patience and success
