PROPERTIES OF QUICKSILVER.-One OF
the most curious properties Of quicksilver is
it's capability of dissolving or of forming
amalgans with other metals. A sheet of
gold foil, dropped into quicksilver, dlsap-
pears almost as quickly as snow flake
when it drops into water. 1t has the power
of separating or Of readily dlssolVlng those
refractory metals which are not acted upon
by our most powerful acids. The gold ana
silver miners pour 1T into their macnlheS
holding the gold bearing quartz; and, al,
though no human eye can detect trace OF
the precious substance, so fine are the par
ticles, vet the liquid metal will hunt them
out. and incorporate it into its mass. BY
subsequent distillation it yields it into the
hands of the miners, in Il state OF virgin
purity. Several years ago, while lecturlng
before a class of ladies on chemistry, we had
occasion to purify some quicksilver by fore
ing it through chamois leather. 1he scrap
remained on the table after the lecture, ana
an old lady thinking it would he very nice
to wrap her gold spectacles in, acc0rdlngly
appropriated it to that purpose. Ihe next
morning she came to us in great alarln,
stating that the gold had mysteriously dis
appeared, and nothing was left in the par.
eel but the glasses. Sure enough, the metal
remaining in the pores of the leather had
amalgamated with the gold, and entirely
DESTROYED the spectacles. ltWas mystery

How CAMPHOR Is MADE.-Camphor is
made in Japan in this way. After tree is
felled to the earth it is cut into chips, which
are laid in tub or a large iron pot partially
filled with water, and placed over a slow
fire. Through holes in the bottom OF the
tub steam slowly rises, and heating OF
the chips generates oil and camphor. Or
course, the tub with the chips has a closely
fitting cover. From this cover bamboo
nine leads to a succession Of other tubs with
bamboo connections and the last of these is
divided into two compartments. one above
the other, the dividing floor being perfor-
ated with. small holes to allow the water
and oil to pass to the lower compartment.
The upper compartment is supplied with
a straw layer, which catches and holds the
camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to
the cooling process. The camphor is then
separated from the straw, packed in wood.

MAGNETIC PEOPLE.-People are always
talking about personal fascination, as though
it was some occult quality of which no ac-
count can be given. Some are born magnet
ic, they say, and some are not, and, with
the vague term magnetic, they hand the
matter over to the world of mystery. Young
girls, for example, are in state of chronic
bewilderment over the puzzle of this ques-
ton. They see one of their mates making
a ten-strike among the men at ball. How
does she do it? they cry. She is not half as
pretty as Ellen Jones or Mary Alcott, and
there they sit in the corner. She is not as
sweet and amiable as this one, as sensible
and true as that, and yet, were she honey
and the men BEES no more lively sWarming
would be witnessed There is no use trying
to find out the secret; she has the occult
quality of magnetism, and that is all that
can be said. No, young ladies, you are sim
ply on the wrong scent. Very likely, the
open secret lies in no charm of beauty or in
telligence, but in O.. k and electric vivac-
ity of spirits that acts like breeze on the
sluggish water, making the waves begin to
skip and dance, and so producing an exhila-
rating effect all round. Now, what is there
on the face of the earth people so crave as to
be exhilarated, and so delivered from the
oppression of lumpishress and stupidity?
These young fellows feel this in the depths
They are bashful, paralyzed and have moth

TREE EPLANTING.-The black walnut tree
is said to be one of the most thrifty trees,
as we'll as the most remunerative, and CIV
ing the most certain and early returns of any
that can be planted, and it has been known
to produce trunk two feet in circumference
in twelve years, from the seed. 1t will,
therefore, be seen that the black walnut,
from the great intrinsic value of the wood,
promises the quickest returns, besides being
the most easily obtainable of any tree which
can be planted. 1t is doubly useful-first,
as an early and excellent shade tree, and
secondly, as one of the most valuable woods
in the whole realm of natures forest pro-
ductions, to say nothing of the nut crop
which would be forthcoming. One hundred
acres of land seeded to walnut trees, if they
reach maturity in fifteen years, would be
more remunerative than many of the crops
produced by fifteen years of incessant toll:
Besides, these trees might be planted and
would thrive on spots which are really val
ueless for agricultural purposes, and while
in the course of growth would serve as val
liable aids to agriculture as windbreaSs, and
in other respects.-,SoWhern Lunebern1da.

The farm and fireside.

PLANNING AHEAD.-The man who sue
ceeds in any business is one who carefully
exercises forethought in regard to future op-
erations. He looks ahead, as far as may be
determined beforehand, sees the result like
ly to be attained by a certain course OF ac-
tion This is true of all business success
fully carried on. Wise calculatOrs count up
the cost of operations about to be entered
upon and shape their course accordingly,
taking in all the bearing and probable fu-
ture effects of contingencies which may
affect the main results.
The business of farming calls for as much
forethought and planning as any in which
man can be engaged. The farmer who has
risen to forehandedness in tilling his acres
is one who counted the cost and made close
calculations on all matters that appertain to
the farm.
No man will meet with satisfying success
on the farm who does not think beforehand
what is best to do and the best way to DO it.
More failures Occur-filureS because in
different success is attained where nothing
but the grossest laundering could make a
failure-frOm this cause of miscalculati0n or
no calculation as regards future results OF
present operations, than from any other.
Farming is not haphazard business,
subject to luck and the operations of ma
ture in giving good or poor seasons. work
without thought, without plan, has been
the blunder of many who guide the poW.
Raising crops without knowledge as to the
cost, and stock without a thought as to its
adaptability to the location and market and
it's requirements in summer pastures and
winter feeding, are at best but s!ipshod
practices, and would seem to require but
little reflection on the part Of those pur-
suing such course to enable them to see 1T.
ASSOCIATED EFFORT.-F. d. Curtis, edi-
tor of the Farmer and Daiymda, has this
sound and sensible talk:
eff the farmers in a single township, or
even a neighborhood, were thoroughly Or
ganized for the purpose, with but little eX-
pense to each, they could produce the tin-
est blooded horses, the most snowy and
graceful cattle, the heaviest fleeced sheep or
the purest bred hogs, and the gain would
more than compensate for the effort. They
would be enabled to command higher pric-
es for farm stock, the cost Of transportation
would be lessened from the ability to mar
ket in bulk, the most costly agricultural
implements could be procured, and the ad-
vantages of schools, churches and libraries
be available to ALL In other words, if
capital can stud the ocean with thousands
of sails, cross the mountains with lightning
speed, and build up hundreds of mammoth
enterprises, it teaches farmers that by fol-
lowing the same course they can DO many
things for themselves that would be lmpos-
sible for the single individual to perform:

surmounts every obstacle, great or small"

THE R RECEPTION.
President Cleveland Formally Re-
Cefves at the White House.

President Cleveland's first reception took
place in the blue parlor of the White House.
The President wore plain evening dress, with
out gloves, the army and navy officers their full
uniforms, with swords, and the diplomatic
corps their court costumes. Miss Cleveland
and the ladies of the cabinet stood in line
with the President, the former wearing a
cream white Ottoman silk, exquisite
ly made, with apron front of point
lace, and the moderately low corsage finished
with a width of the same confined by a mar
row satin ribbon. A black velvet band en-
circled her neck and long, light gloves
reached nearly to the end of the short sleeve.
She carried a bouquet of Cornelia Cook roses
and a white ostrich feather fan. Miss Bay
ard stood next, repros4 nting the social side
of the state department, and wearing a deli
cate pink satin veiled with pink tullc. Mrs.
Manning, a bride, wore her dainty bridal
dress of rich white satin, with front of point
lace, and superb diamonds.
Mrs. Endicott, wife of the secretary of war,
was attired in ruby satin, with front cloth of
gold, and carried IN immenSe bouquet of
jacqueminots and lilies of the valley. Mrs.
Whitney, whose first appearance it was in
Washington official life, wore black silk
overlaid with black tulle. She carried a large
cluster of English violets. Mrs. Villas wore
dark red satin.
The attorney-generalship and the secretary
ship of the interior had no feminine repre-
s~entatives, but Secretary Lamar and At
torney-General Garland were in the group of
cabinet officers at the rear. The Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoyt, Colonel and Mrs, Lamont,
and Miss Mamie Bayard were also among the
representatives of the new administration
circle in the blue parlor, the ladies all ele-
gantly attired.
TIL diplomatic corps came first, preceded
by the Portuguese minister, who is dean in the
absence Of the Haytien envoy. All those
presented stopped to chat a few minutes with
the President, and consequently the column
was somewhat delayed. The judges of the
supreme court, headed by Chief Justice
Waite, came next, and were succeeded by the
army and navy officials, at the head of whom
were Admiral Worden, of Monitor fame, and
General Schofield. Senators and Representa-
tiyes and ex. Representatives and heads of
bureaus were the last received.
Ex-President Arthur and Mrs. JOIN Davis
called about 10 o'clock, and after being pre-
sented were asked to join the prominent
group in the rear of the receiving party. All
present awaited themselves of the opportunity
thus presented, and soon the crowd was
surging in two lines to be able to grasp the
hands of the President and his predecessor

A WOMAN LYNCHED.
Summary Execution OF n Brother
and Sister in Nebraska

Following are details Of the lynching of
Elisa Taylor and her brother Thomas Jones.
in Clay county, Neb., a region remote from,
Geographic or railroad communication
The l|ynching occurred on Sunday morn
ing, just before daylight, at Spring Ranch,
near Fairfield. Early in January Robert
Roberts. a ncighboring homesteader, was
shot and killed by Mrs. Taylor's sons, who
are now in jail The woman and Jones were
suspected OF inducing the boys to commit the
murder, and they were notified to leave the
country, which notification they seemed to
have ignored.
AS a result a crowd of probably two hun
dred people IN Sunday morning surrounded
the house of Jones, where there were seven
persons-Mr. Jones, Mrs. Taylor and her
daughter, a bright looking girl of five
years; Nelson Cely, John Foster, alias
Texas Bill, and another person named
and a boy whose name il unknown. As Clark
soon as the mob reached the house they de
manded hat Mrs. Taylor and Tom Jones should
come out, but instead of complying with the
request the door of the house was barricaded
and other means were taken to prevent a
forCible entrance. Those inside were well
provided with firearms, and just why they
were not used by them Is a mystery, as they
had been purchased Tor just such an occasion.
After parleying for some time the men in
the mob who were determined to have them
out threatened to throw "A bomb of dynamite
INTO the WINDOW. RG TINS JuncluFe ION
Jones asked Texas Bill if he thought It would
be safe to go out, and was answers that it
would Thereupon Tom Jones said that he
would come out, and was told by the
mob to crawl out of the window, as he
would not be allowed to go out of the door,
and he was also told to leave ali firearms be
hind and crawl out with his hand up, This
lie did, and upon his appearance was imme-
diately covered with revolvers and guns and
was taken to one side and his hands tied with
a piece of rope, which was procured from
some mule harness belonging to Mrs. Tay-
Tor.
Mrs. Taylor was then ordered TO come out,
and she came out of the window the same
way, and had her hands tied also. The men
then took them into an open spot near the
house, and, leaving them under a guard,
drew off n little way and held a consultation,
which ended in Mrs. TIylor and Tom
Jones being taken in one direction and the
other four men who We're in the house in an.
other, Jones and Mrs. Taylor were hanged
to a bridge. The bodies were left swinging
there until three o'clock Sunday afternoon.
An inquest was held and a verdict Of death
at the hands of parties unknown was rendered
