New Process of Salt Manufacture.

Mr.. Joseph NJ. Duncan, the super
intendent of the salt works at w arsaw
N. Y, has obtained a patent on the
manufacture of salt, which The DEM
ocrat Review, of that place, describes
as follows: This arrangement coar
stitutes a complete process from re-
ceiving the brine to depositlng the salt
in the barrels A great iron retort of
any height from fifteen to fifty feet
and from twelve to twentyfour feet
external circumference, having a
hopper like bottom in which there is a
large valve opening downward. The
great retort can be made air tight. AT
a point from six 10 eight feet from the
bottom according to the size Of the
retort is a second valve, also opening
downward. Above this valve four or
eight feet is a steam crum four feet
high, containing tubes opening above
and below, looking very much like
the interior of a tubular boiler. An
exhauster is attached to this evapora>
tor to exhaust the air. The lower
valve being closed and the upper one
opened, the BRINE admitted until the
surface is some two to three feet above
the steam drum. The steam is then
turned on by an arrangement that
heats the whole drum at once. Tie
steam is in the drum between and
around the tubes, and the brine stands
in the tubes. AT about 80 degrees
Fahrenheit the. brine in the vacuum,
relieved OF the pressure of the air, be-
gins to boil, and, we are told, there is
indeed tempest in a teapot when it
is brought to that temperature. The
brine is thrown up in spray, the crys>
tai is thHs formed, and falls back into
the center of the retOrt, and sinks
rapidly to the bottom The descend
ing current turns upward again when
it reaches that layer of the liquid, the
specific gravity of which is greater
than its own by reason of its lower
temperature, but the crystals continue
to descend. This goes on until it is
seen through glass guages that the
lower part of the retort between the
two valves is filled with the crystal.
The upper valve is then closed, and
air admitted to this lower chamber,
forcing the water from the salt
through tube back into the vacuum
above. The lower valve is then open
ed, and the salt drops into a mixer,
the purpose of which is to prevent
packing. The product then passes
into centrifugals where the water is
thrown out, and the salt falls into a
conveyor, whence it is taken up by the
elevators, and let fall through heated
air into barrels ready for shipping.

business can not possibly know

SEASICKNESS AND IMAGINATION.
Anew Curious Statements on That
Point.
New York Evening Post.

A writer in the Post says: ''Dr.
Stevens, the sculist, has written an
ingenious pamphlet, in which he
demonstrates to his own satisfaction
that Seasickness is a disease Of the eyes.
[ am not able to controvert this, be
cause l have never had a blind man
for ship mate-not many blind men
go to sea professionally, or for the pur-
pose Of seeing anything abroad. Few
persons do, in fact, escape the clutches
of the monster who attacks in differ
ent ways. | once sailed with captain
who, after thirty years experience,
always suffered on the first day of
passage. A very curious, and to the
ship expensive, idiosyncracy once
came under nay observation. We had
a passenger from Boston to Leghorn,
During the whole forty days he
voraciously devoured six daily meals.
First he brcakfastad with the mate
and me- shall be sufficiently un>
derstNod ii l say he Immediately after
ward went on deck. He then came
down below and had plenty of room
for another hearty breakfast with the
second mate He observed the same
rule with regard to dinner and sup-
per. and the second meal stayed with
him, so that he enj Eyed excellent
health, excepting for the few
moments of intervals, and arrived at
Leghorn with quite a gain of avoirdu-
pois.
In general it will be found that ro-
bust persons of good digestion are
more liable TO seasickness than the
dyspeptic Faith and inspiration have
much to do with the matter. We
were going out on a fishing excursion
from Hampton Beach. A lady de-
clined being one of the party because
she was always seasick, even in cross
ing a ferry. l told her of a sovereign
remedy which would be effectual for
three hours, the time we expected to
be in the boat, acknowledging
that it would last no longer.
This candid admission increased
her faith in the skeins of red
yarn / tied about her wrists I'M
fortunately, we were becalmed, SO
that We did not get ashore for five
hours, during the last two of which
she was terribly i'll, having beea with
out a qualm during the time OF guar
antee. 1t is needless to say the
remedy was invented on the spot. A
gentleman going upon an East Indian
voyage was troubled by seasickness
on the passage nine miles from the
wharf to B sston light. The ship an
chored in Nantucket roads to await a
far wind, and our friend turn.
ed into his berth. After he had
slept an hour or two, he was
awakened By a fellow passenger
who said to. him: well,
we are outside the light, and she is
slipping along smoothly" Before he
could get on the deck to look at the
ocean he was overcome by the enemy,
so that he required the stewards atten-
ton. The ship had not moved from
her anchorage.

Too BashfuI to Get the Dog
Boston Gazette.


Talk about Maine" continued my
old friend, that reminds me Of some
thing that happened down our way
when 1 lived there-when l way a
boy. 1t was in a country town. A
young fellow very bashfuD was out
riding with his girl one afternoon,
when he saw an old farmer coming
down the road in his hay rigging. On
the seat beside him was little cur.
I'm going to have some fun with
him, Sal, said the young swain, haul
ing up side of the old farmer. The
farmer drew up and the young fellow
bawled out, nudging Sally: Say,
stranger, I'm powerfully struck with
that there dog OF yourn, and I'd like
to buy him.
"Well, responded the farmer, I
think an all fred heap of that dorg
myself, and I guess l aia't particular

you. I'll tell you what I'll do; you
throw your arms around that ere gal
aad give her a good smack and don't
mind givin' yer the dorg.'
THAT was enough for the bashful
young man; he whipped up his horse
and went on. They rode along in
silence for an hour or more, Sal In
her corner and Bill in his Then Sal
sort of edged up to Bills side, turned
scarlet, and looking coyly up into his
eyes, said: Say, Bill; it pears to me

the horse thief was gone Those who
have lived on the prairies can readily
understand now, under the cover of
the darkness, an escape was so per
fectly easy. He hadn't gone far, how
ever, when his fight was intercepted

about a mile to the north of the post,
and which had run dry. Suffice it to
say that the man was arrested, brought
back and put in irons. The Captains

by the paymaster's clerk in giving

Concerning collars.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The paper collar is a thing of the
past. A few oldfsshioned and lmpe,
cunious young men still cling to
pasteboard nec&wear, but most people
who wear collars now, use linen. The
paper collar had its points. however.
1t was always ready for use, and q
man wasn't as dependent on his wash
erwoman as he is now. 1t was so
cheap that it could be thrown away
whenever it became slightly soiled.
Why, when paper goods were the
style, a man could buy PAIR of paper
cuffs and collar and a ''dickey" of
the same material, and be fixed up
good enough for ball or wedding.
They were liable to cover up any
amount of uncleanliness, however.
The paper collar was invented by
Walter Hunt about 40 years ago, AND
was first made as smooth and glossy
as bristol board. They we're finally
merged into the present style of linen.
Celluloid collars and cuffs have never
caught on very well. They are worn
considerably by itinerant book agents,
peddlers, and that sort of people. but
have never become popular. You can
always tell man who wears them by
the strong smell of csmphor.
