A NEW Process OF EXTRACTING SUGAR
From THE CANE.-It is reported that Fro
bach has discovered q method of making
sugar without crushing or pressing. Ac-
cording to the method the cane is cut into
strips and the water is extracted by alco-
holic vapor, which leaves the saccharine
to be dissolved into liquid. The alcohol
and sugar are filtered out by means of lime
and chalk. 1t is claimed that this process
of manufacture will add one-third to the
production over and above any process now

A Benerolent Old Man.

Just as evening was closing in, curly
headed little boy was standing on tiptoe on
the doorstep of house in Chelsea, trying
to reach the door-bell. Just then a benev-
olent old man passed along. He paused,
and, with a kindly smile, patted the boy
on the head.
My son, that door bell is little beyond
your reach, isn't it7"
" Yeth thir"
"Ah," continued the old gentleman,
musingly, it is fit symbol of the striving
of youth after the unattainable. How
often in this world the thing we desire
most is beyond our grasp And when after
continued effort we have secured the object
of our ambition, how often we find that it
is not worth what it cost! My little man,
l am taller than you. Shall l ring the bell
for your"
"If you wanth to-" replied the boy, look
ing at him out of the corners of his roguish
eyes.
With another fatherly smile, the old gen
tlenan gave the bell.handle a vigorous
pull. What was his amazement to see the
boy jump from the steps and slide around
the corner with the words
You had better hurry now, or they will
be after your"
The boy had scarcely disappeared when
an upper window opened and the contents
of bowl of water descended on the old
man, with the words:
"Take that for your impudencel"
There is one man in Chelsea who thinks
he will not help any more little boys pull
their neighbors' door bells-st least until
after he has asked g few questions

THE KEY OF DEATH.

In the arsenal at Venice there is still
preserved a small golden key, which bears
the name of the Key of Death" 1t was
an instrument invented in the fifteenth
century by an Algerine named Tebaldo
Il hung at his girdle, and while toying
c6relessly with it. he would turn the han
die, when q needle of exquisite fneness
was shot from it. winch would bury itself
unfelt in the flesh of the person whom he
wished 10 kill The needle was tipped with
q deadly poison. twas not until Tebaldo's
victims could be counted by the score that
his secret was discovered. The young man
who sets out i'll life with keen Wit, . poor
opinion Of human nature and delight in
saying good thing at anybody's cost, will
soon find that he yields as cruel and
deadly weapon as this famous Key Of
Death, which will not only wound others,
but poison his own life, and leave him TO
q solitary, miserable old age.-[Youth's

CENTRAL PARKS SMART MONKEY

Believers in Dsrwinism should see q
baby monkey that was lately born in this
city, and chimpanzee in Central Park
The infant is the first of its species to be
born in this country. 1t was in cage
when l saw il, distinguished from the
others by red curtain, which concealed
it from ordinary view. The mother sat in
a corner of the cage with her offspring
clasped to her breast, and was told that
she had not put it down for an instant since
its birth I have never seen stronger evi-
dences of maternal love than those mani-
tested by this half-human looking beast
But the chimpauzee in the park is still
more interesting. He bears wonderfully
close resem blance TO human being. He
was sitting at dinner when l entered the
building in which he lives, and the first
sight of him was startling. He might have
been taken for cousin to man. He
gravely unfoided his napkin, placed it
across his knees, and proceeded TO use knife,
fork and spoon in Z manner that would not
have disgraced a well bred person.
He's not we'll to-day" said the keeper,
as lie handed finger bowl to Tommy and
stood by VIII lie he washed his hands, or
claws, wiping them carefully on the nap
kin. Let me see your tongue, Tommy"
The monkey, who seemed TO understand
perfectly what was said TO him, stuck ont
his tongue for inspection and at the same
time rubbed his stomach, with look up at
his keeper and an expressive grimace,
which told elo1uently the seat Of the dis
order.
e guess you'd better go over in the cor
ner and lie down pub the blanket over
you" said the man.
The grotesque little being obeyed, and
was soon asleep.
" Poor little chap" the man explained,
he's been delicate and has come near dy-
ing two or three times. He knows his
health is poor, and is careful what he does
or eats. He understands everything he
hears and really believe he could be
taught anything that . child can learn. IL
