Prof James Warren is announced as
the inventor of a new process of reducing

quartz the next day be found it in The dy-
namO. and 10 his surprise the gold in the
quartz bad been melted and had run TO
one side of the rock, forming 4 beauti-
ful button. He immediately instituted a
series OF experiments, and succeeded in
evolving a process by which gold, silver
and copper can be instantly smelted from
concentrations by a powerful electric
shock, almost equaling in intensity a
stroke of lightning. The successful appl-
cation OF this process to other ores, as lead
and antim0ny, is also expected.

The one essential in keeping hen ma.

where the rains and sun will not destroy
and remove its valuable, though volatile
quality. The poultry house should be
strewn with loan, pulverized clay or
sand as often as is necessary 20 preserve
cleanliness and to absorb the moisture.
Dry street dirt will readily act as an alb.

lied by the wheels OF carriages. Every
week clean up the floor of the house. put

should be removed to some convenient
shed, where the contents can be kept dry.

The benefits, of course, vary with the kind

in neither case did these really beautiful and

reasonable disparity.
There lived quarter OF a mile down the
road from the Beeches wealthy bachelor
named Goldmore-a man Of fifty years or

and who kept his coat we'll buttoned round

W s an air of steady solvency cbout him-a
ba ance-at-my bankers air-which was very
telling. The most timid shopkeeper would
have given Goldmore credit for thousand
pounds before even hearing his name. His
mien would have carried him. With his
mn icsty, the bigness of his frame, his vast
bony features, and the sober color Of his
atllle, he looked rather like all elephant who

young fellow, but no great favorite with his
uncle. He was heir, because there was none

never quite hit it off. The young man was

very much either they are sure TO be-who,
without being exactly selfish, have yet an
inordinate i,lea of their own claims upon life
and their feliow-creatures, with proper

Young Goldmore would always help himself
to the best, even before his uncle's eyes, and
would never say, "Uncle, won't you try this!'
or Let Inc recommend SO and so"-trifling
attentions, but by such little acts young men
sometimes make their fortunes. The nephew,
too, well knowing that his uncle employed an
unsur,assable cook and prided himself upon
his table, would yet in the most fippant style
find fault with dishes, and declare that in his
