The Manufacture of "Stick" Candy.

The stick" candy which seems to be an
indigenous American product, is ordinary
"A" sugar boiled down with water aud a
little cream of tartar to prevent crystal
liZation. The mass is taken in patches of
about fifteen pounds to marble table,
where it is kneaded like bread, and the
favoring and coloring worked in. The
paste then goes to the pulling hooks, I"
where for five or six minutes it is pulled
and twisted. Thence it returns to the
marble table, Kept hot, on which is worked
the candy into its final shape. Stripes are
pressed into the batch, two feet long and
Il foot thick, and it is then drawn and
twisted till the proper size of the penny
stick" the right length of which is
clipped off by huge scissors.-Chicago

Tho Philosophy of tho French.

The French are philosophers in this,
that they seldom fret themselves to-day
about what the morrow will bring forth.
They say ''wait till tomorrow comes"
Since experience proves that it is the I'M
expected which generally happens, it
seems almost q waste of time to expect at
al. Dancing on volcanoes" sounds ter
rbly dangerous, but when a volcano is
not in active eruption it is as safe to
lance uron it as upon q carpetcd floor.
When the novelty of tho siege wore off
and people got used to the sound of shells
screaming overhead, the Parisians re-
opened the theatres and cafe concerts, be-
cause they thought it was wiser to use the
time that hung upon their hands in anus
ing thems lives than in chewing the cud
of melancholy. Had they made them
selves IN )re miserable, they would have
been better off in the end. Perhaps if
these people were more serious and less
epicurean in their views of life their politi-
cal institutions might settle down and
solidify.-Paris Cor. Boston Transcript.

Chicken Bill" sailed the famous Chryso-
lite, in Leadville and sold it to Tabor for,
1 think, $4,000. He worked days and
weeks on it, and finally had it fixed to his
satisfaction. Then Tabor was approached,
and, not trusting any one else, went down
into the shaft himself. He had been in
mines twenty years, and was well quail
fed to act as his own expert. He was inn
pressed with the property and bought it,
but the vein was small and he concluded
to go lower. He had only sunk ten feet
further when he struck the bonanza, and
the property was Immediately recognized
as being worth millions.
The sailing was not noticed until later,
and Tabor was so impressed with it that
instead of having the man arrested and
sentenced to the penitentiary, he began to
stake him, and has him in his employ to-
day. While prospecting for Tabor he dis
covered the Tam O'Shanter, another rich

is not as much of it as formerly. There
have been numerous instances where it
has not been profitable. For instance, if

Americana q. tho French Capi.a,.

Many Americans arc living here te-
cause they find they can arrange the life
they like to better advantage in Paris
than in New York or Boston or Philatlcl-
pnia. Living is dcarer than il was, in
some ways it is dcarcr even than it is in
America; but the habits of the French are
frugal beyond the conception of New
England housckeeper, and there Is no de-
mand for idle display. And the unit of
currency is small, and this means much.
The silver unit, the franc, is but twenty
cents, fourth less than the English shil-
ing or the American quarter, and the
gold unit, the louis, is 81 only, while in
Great Britain and the United States it is
IS. OF course, there is the danger, on
the opposite side, that one may get a con-
tempt for the petty, tiny franc, and take
to spending it too freely -Brander

There are upon the skin Of every hu-

100000 pores. Through these pores
in the form of insensible perspiration,
is expelled more than one-quarter of

The Importance Of keeping open these

open the pores of the skin and to assim-

ed Castoria. Loose bowels, constipa-
ton, fevers and eruptions which are so
constant among infants and children:
and which kill one third of all children
before they are five years old, arise
principally from these two causes. 1t
is from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating
the stomachs and bowels and keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Cas-
toria aquired its world wide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body.
pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
assimilate the food, there need be no

tic property. Thirty years extensive
use has eivensit a history never attained

east this morning was made the occa.
sion of quite an imposing demonstration.

large delegations from different branches
of the Knights of Labor, among them the
Cigarmakers international Union. A
line was formed, headed by brass bands,
marched up Market to Montgomery,
down that street to Montgomery avenue
and through the other principal streets
of the city.
The new corners, numbering 200 in
all. presented a very respectable appear
ance. Various transparencies were car
ried, some of them labeled, "From the
Atlantic to the Pacific. We have come
to stay" Another read, ave are CON-
ing. Californians, 1000 men or more"
1t is stated that when the procession
passed within the neighborhood of Chi.
natown it was watched with great deaI
of interest by the Chinese, who are
seemingly anxious to form an opinion OF
the future possibilities of the COMPETE

CuIcAGo, January 1.-Two new cases
of smallpox were discovered yesterday
In the persons of mother and daughter,
passengers ON an incoming Pittsburgh
and Fort Wayne train. The unfortun-
stes left Queenstown, Ireland, on the
steamer Spain, and arriving in New
York bought transportation for Joliet,
in this State. The mother, however,
was sick before she left New York and
yesterday morning the train officers dis.
covered that she was afflicted with small
pox. She was then delirious and could
neither give her name nor tell where she
was exposed to the disease, as her
daughter, who was also discovered to be
i'll, was only eight years old and too
badly frightened to be coherent. She
was useless as n source Of information,
and nothing could be learned of their
destination but what their tickets and
the marks on their baggage indicated.
They were at once taken to the hospital
and every precautiOn had to guard the
others from the eontagIon, but from the
many passengers on the same train who
were exposed, it is feared more cases
will result.
