Charges Against Powderly.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Carpenters local assembly, Knights of Labor, adopted resolu- tions last night calling on all district assem- plies to demand an immediate special session of the general assembly. The purpose is stated to be to afford any opportunity te prefer charges against General Master Work man Powderly for overstepping his authori. ty. It is stated that in substance it declares that no assembly may either contribute money in aid of the Anarchists or take action in encouraging such contributions, or other wise aiding them. The other section is te the effect that no assembly may, without violating the constitution and laws of the order, lend itself in aid of any political movement whatever, much less make of it. self an active political machine.

Boston Brokers Have a Christmas
 FrOlic.

BOSTON, Dec. 24.-The brokers held their customary Christmas jubilee in the Stock Exchange to day. Many of the members appeared in huge white hats which were used alike for marks and missiles. An excellent minstrel entertainment was given by com pany of colored singers and Richardson's or chestra furnished music. Jig dancing, high kicking and other things enlivened the fore noon and about noon the Virginia reel was danced by 8 lively party led by g popular Devonshire street broker and his 'slady.'' The agility and energy displayed by the dancers were more noticeable than the grace of movement and some of. the kicking was remarkable. It was not much of a day for business

McQUADE STILL AT THE TONES. Jake Sharp Probably The Next Quar- rY For District Attorney Marine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-McQuade remains tranquilly at the Tombs, receiving few visit ors save his wife and few intimate friends If Judge Pratt grants a permanent stay he may be released on bail. There is good req son to believe, an officer said, that MT. Mar. tine has his eye on Jacob Sharp as his next quarry. The argument upon Sharp's application for the change of venue will come up in the Supreme court before Judge Barrett on Wednesday. Jacob Sharp has been under the weather for some days past. He is suffering from his old dyspeptie troubles, for which he put himself on milk diet. He is able to move about the house, but has not been out of doors in two weeks. He still lives in his hired house at 326 West Twenty-Third street, and the sign, "For Sale," still hangs on the front balcony.
 Ex-Alderman Waite was to day at the in- stance of the district attorney released from the house of detention. He is still under police surveillance.

NEW YORK, Dec 24.-The rumor in Wall street to-day that the Emperor of Germany was dead proved to be without foundation.

THE DAY BEFORE CHRIS sFmAs.

Chapel Street Shoppers Out fR Force
 Merchants Made Happy A Wet
 Christmas Eve.
 Yesterday was not an ideal shopping day, but thousands upon thousands of people packed the stores to buy the things to make glad the hearts of loved ones. Chapel street was crowded from early morning until dewy eve, and by the way it was rather too dewy to satisfy many feminine tastes and shop keepers. Many of the stores were over crowded and many shoppers became so Jagged with so many things to buy and with the fear of getting caught in the rain that they lit on the first suitable thing that came ln view and gave their orders. Said mer- chant yesterday: "I never saw people select their goods or buy so quickly as to-day. People didn't spend much time in looking over stock"
 The pouring rain ali last evening was in deed "a damper" on Christmas, but throngs of people braved 1t nevertheless. All the horse cars were crowded to the utmost.

Diamond Hunting.

In lS43 diamonds were discovered in
the province of Bahia. There are two sto-
ries told of the discovery-one that o
quick eyed slave from Minas-G eraes,
keeping his flock in Bahia, remarked the
similarity of soil to that of his native
place, and, searching in the sand, soon
found sever hundred carats of dia-
monds. With these the faithful creature
ran away and attempted to make his for
tune in a distant city by sale, but, so
valuable a property in the hands of a
slave exciting suspicion, he was put to
the question as to where they came
from, and, refusing to answer, sent back
to Bahia and his master. There, being
watched, his secret was made clear.
and within a twelvemonth there were
iive-and-twenty thousand seekers at
work, securing for some time a daily
amount of ,450 carats. The other story
Is that of a mulatto miner in the interi-
or, gold washing ina stream at Sincora.
whose crowbar slipping woke a hollow
sound below; mother earth groaned as
1t were, like a miser, at the discovery of
her store; and pushing his hand
through, the mulatto pulled out q hand
full of stones, valued subsequently at
100000 In that hole alone. Within DIV
months fifteen thousand were there,
and in the lirst two years the product
Of their toll rose to half a million OF
money.

How Butterine is Made.

Oleomargarine is the raw material
from which butterine is made. 1t is
procured in this way: From the freshly
slaughtered carcasses of cattle in the
abattoirs of large towns the superfu-
Gus portions of suet are taken to the
butterine factories. The finest, clean
est, and sweetest portions only are
selected for making oleomargarine.
The process of manufacture is as fol-
lows: AT the factory the beef-suet is
thrown into tanks containing tepid
water, and after standing a short time
1t is washed repeatedly in cold water
and d~isintegrated and separated from
fibre by passing it through a meat
masher worked by steam, after which
it is forced through a fine sieve. 1t is
then melted by surrounding the tanks
with water at Il temperature of about
one hundred and twenty degrees Fab
renheit. Great care is taken not to
exceed this point; otherwise the fat
would begin to dccompose and acquire
a flavor of tallow. After being well
stirred, the adipose membrane subsidies
to the bottom Of the tank, and is separ-
ated under the name of "scrao," whilst
a clear yellow oil Is left above together
with q film of White oily substance.
This film is removed by Swimming, and
the yellow oil is drawn off and allowed
to solidify. The refined fat, as the sub
stance is now known, is then taken to
the press-room-which is kept at a tenn
p%erature of about ninety degrees Fab
renheit-packed in cotton cloths, and
placed in galvanized iron plates in a
press. On being subjected to pressure,
oil flows away. The cakes of stearine
which remains are sent to the candle
makers. The oil - which Is now known
as oleomargarine-is filled into barrels
for sale or export, or directly made into
butterine by adding to it ten per cent.
OF milk and churning the mixture. It
Is now colored with annatto and rolled
with ice to set it; salt is added; the
process is finished and it Is ready for
packing.

indicators OF the Mental Condition.

When there Is no pressure upon their
minds. and they can afford to be CON-
Portable. men generally cross their legs.
But you VIII never lind a man actually
engaged in business with his legs
crossed. The limbs at those times are
straighter than at any other because
the mind and body work together. A
man may cross his legs if he is sitting
in an Office chair discussing some bust
ness proposition with another man,
but the instant he becomes really in
earnest and perceives something to be
gained, his limbs uncross quick as a
flash, he bends forward toward his
neighbor and begins to use his hands.
That is a phase that | believe you will
always observe. Men often cross their
legs at public meetings, because they go
there to listen, or to be entertained;
they are not the factors in the perfor-
nance, and they naturally place them
selves in the most comfortable position
known to them-nanely, leaning well
back in their chairs and crossing their
legs. A man always crosses his legs
when he reads a newspaper, but is
more apt to lie down when he reads a
book. He reads the paper, of course,
to inform himself, but at the same time
the perusal Of its contents is recreation
for him, and his body again seeks its
position of relaxation. When a man is
reading a newspaper and waiting for
his breakfast hi legs are always crossed,
but as soon az the breakfast is brought
to him he puts the paper aside, straight
n out his legs and goes to work-that
is, begins to eat, his mind now turning
on the duties of the day before him.
Men cross their legs in a ballroom, but
it is far from an elegant thing to do.
and 1t is not done by those who have
been brought up in good society. 1t is
your "three-penny-bit young man"
who crosses legs at a ball, and, would
you believe it. | have seen young ladies
do the same thingl
