A Lump of Coal.

Few persons have any idea of the won
derful products from a lump of coal-a
lump of coal that is placed in the retort of
a gas mandatory. Ordinarily burned, the
combustion of a lump of coal results in
or rather the visible portion of smoke is
soot) and the ash, in which are found sill
lea, alunina, oxide of iron, phosphorie acid,
su1phuric acid, potash, sodium, combined
sulphur, sometimes traces of chlorine, titanic
acid and other substances. In the gas retort
a variety of products are obtained. The gas
as it is carried through the hydraulic main
to the purifying rooms takes with it tar and
ammonia, the latter evolved from the nitro
gen. The ammonia has to be washed out
with water, in an arrangement by which the
ammonia is gathered and saved. Tons and
tons of sulphate of ammonia are thus made
and becomes an article of commerce. The
sulphur is removed by caustic lime or oxide
of iron. The carbenic acid is also removed
by lime, but the carbonic oxide cannot be re-
moved, and with several Others remain ia the
gas after all efforts to remove it. These 9th
ers give the gas its smell.
By distillation naphtha and asphaltum are
obtained Asphaltum is dead oil very use
full to preserve wood. From this too carbol
ic acid is obtained, very important IN surgl-
cal operations as being the most valuable an
tiseptic known. From naphtha, benzole, Gu
mol, teluol and cymol are obtained. Naph-
tha, as is well known, is used as burning
fluid Benzole is solvent for grease and
oils, very useful in cleaning kid gloves and
things of that kind.
Benzole treated with nitric acid produces
nitro -benzole. This, singularly enough, is
used as favoring extract by confectioners
and for perfuming soap. When used for
this purpose it is known in commerce as the
essence of myrrhbane, which it is not, al
though it smells and tastes something like
essence of myrrhbane or oil of bitter al
monds Nitro-benzole is terribly poisonous,
but not more so than some other adulterants
used by confectioners.
From nitro-benzole aniline is obtained.
This when first obtained is perfectly color
less liquid, but darkens as it grows older.
From aniline are obtained the coal tar colors
which are 80 very brilliant. The different
colors known to the trade aniline colors
are of all hues. The one known as turkey
red" is exactly similar to the red that used
to be made from the madder root. Since the
discovery of this aniline it has almost COM
pletely broken up the raising of madder in
Holland There thousands of acres were de-
voted to the raising of madder root to get
the turkey red dye. 1t can be made much

DR.. Erlenmeyer protests in the Deutsche
Medicinal -Zeitung against the indiscriminate
sale of cocaine, the abuse of which leads to
consequences as disastrous as those following
the opium habit DR.. Erlenmeyer, who is
well known as the medical director of an asy

''There is only one substance whose ravages
equal those of cocaine, and that is whiskey."
The capitalists don't always have ''pie."
The creditors of the great Lewiston (Maine)
mills had an extraordinary story of loss to
listen to the other day. The creditors com
mittee find that from January 1, 1865, down
to the present time the Lewiston mills have
steadily run behindhand. For the first IA
years, a profit was realized in only one
year, and for the whole 81 years there was a
gross loss of 81, ,272, 1897, and profit of $685.

$1,O74, 900. To this should be added an in

The experience of Brooklyn with "out-
door relief" " for the poor is instructive. In
1877 Brooklyn with $4,000 population ao-
tually gave ''outdoor relief" to 46,53O
persons, at cost of $141, 1877. In 1878 agi-
tation to stop this began, and since that year
there has been no such aid given. The result
is that only few more persons than have
before RECEIVED indoor aid, the association
for helping the poor has disbursed little II
any more than before, the city has saved
large sum of money and much pauperlsm
has ended. 1t has been cured, beggars have

The physician listened to his story and then
coolly said:
'sTake off your coat"
The young man obeyed in mute wonder,
thinking that possibly the doctor was going
to make him fight for his daughter then and
there.
''Now, then," continued the other, ftake
off your vest and shirt"
Finally the young man stood in his boots,
trousers undershirt. Then the physician
tapped him learnedly all over his chest, lis
tened to the beating of his anxious heart,
questioned him as to his stomach, liver and
digestion, and at last he said:
There, guess you'll do. L want man
to marry my daughter who is not physically

nation. You can have her, my dear boy, and

1t takes good deal to squelch the ardor
of young man whose 1ady's fond whisper

his finger tips and filling his whole being
with an indescrihable ecstasy. But the ex-
perience of young Cincinnatian recently
was enough to chill even the most burning of

The young lady in the case is physician s
daughter, and the young is tall and slender,
whose shoulders inclined to droop. He won
the maiden's love and dutifully went to her

but the early ventilation will hardly be fa-
vored in winter.
An English chemist has found way for
turning to account the practically illimitable
quantity of seaweed that the ocean supplies,
OF at least as much of it as may be desired
He boils the weed with carbonate of soda
and treats the filtered solution with sulphuric
acid, obtaining from it in this manner sub
stance that has more viscosity than starch, or
even gum Arabic, and that can be proftably
employed in stifening various textile fabrics.
1t is also said to be excellently adapted for
the making of syrups and for certain culinary
uses. From the cellular and fbrous matter
left after the extraction of that material-to
which he has given the name of sfalguina''-
very good quality of writing paper can be
cheaply made.
A curious example of how to violate the
law was recently furnished by the French
Minister of Public Works, M. Baihaut. In
France the sport of fishing cannot be in
dulged in before the 10Th of June. AS this
year Whitsuntide fell on the 18th, number
of amateur fishermen expressed in the Ian
terne, the radical organ, desire to have the
beginning of the fishing season exceptionally
hastened by two days. NJ. Baihaut, anxious
to gain the good will of the Lanterne, wrote
to the editor expressing his regret at mis- in
ability to change the law, but adding that,
in order to grant what looked like reasonable
he had given orders to the officers of
the law not to molest persons who were
caught fishing during Whitsuntide.
The hot weather greatly increases the con-
of beer. A vast quantity of beer
is now used in this country. It is estimated
that the total amount of malt liquors brewed
annually in this country and Europe is
j, 900, 100000 gallons, of which 600, 900, 900
are brewed in the United States. The aver
our country is now about eleven gallons,
while forty years ago it was only one gallon.
From medical standpoint the facts al
legged against beer are that its excessive con-
sumption causes disease of the kidney, fatty
liver and ''biliousness," fatty degeneration of
the heart and other degenerative changes.
The injurious effects of beer come on slowly.
In an analysis that was lately made of some
460 samples of this beverage it was found
that in about fourth the malt was pres
ent in an exceedingly small quantity, while
in it's place was substituted glucose and BIZ
of soda. It was also found that
the sanitary surroundings of the breweries
were in very unsatisfactory condition.

THE MAN WITH THE MUSKET.
BY II. s. TAYLOR.

Soldiers pass on from this rage of renOwn,
This aunt-hill, commOtion and strife,
Pass by where the marbles and bronzes look
down
With their fast-frozen gestures of life,
On, out to the nameless who lie meath the gloom
Of the pitying cypress and pine;
Your man is the man of the sword and the plume,
But the man of the musket is mine.
l knew him! by all that is noble, knew
This commonplace hero / namel
I've camped with him, marched with him, fought
with him, too,
In the swirl of the fierce battle-hamel
Laughed with him, cried with him, taken part
Of his canteen and blanket, and known
That the throb of this chivalrous prairie boy
heart
Was an answering stroke of my own.
1 knew him, 1 tell you'll And, also, knew
When he fell on the battle-swept ridge,
That the poor battered body that lay there in
blue
Was only plank in the bridge
Over which some should pass to fame
That shall shine while the high stars shall
shinel
Your hero is known by an echoing name,
But the man of the musket is mine.
1 knew himl All through him the good and
the bad
Ran together and equally free;
But judge as 1 trust Christ will Judge the
brave lad,
For death made him noble to NE!
In the cyclone of war, in the battles eclipse,
Life shook out its lingering sands,
And he died with the name that he loved on
his lips,
His musket still grasped in his handsl
Up close to the flag my soldier went down,
In the salient front of the line:
You may take for your heroes the men of renown,
But the man of the musket is minel

HERE are few specimens of Demo
cratic principles and Democratic opin-
ion:
l. The Supreme court erred in not
ruling that the Democratic senators of
the Ohio Legislature may lawfully and
conststutionally hold sessions of the
Senate in Kentucky and Tennessee.
2. 1t is clearly unconstitutional to tax
the whisky traffic while churches, schools
and charitable institutions are exempted
from taxation. The Constitution recog-
nizes saloons as public institutions.
8. If whisky, or the liquor traffic, be
taxed the personal liberty of the citi-
zen is thereby stricken down. 1t is
therefore better to tax the widows house
to raise funds to. maintain the poor
houses and the police than to fracture
the Constitution and sacrifice personal
liberty" by levying tax on intoxica-
ting liquors.

him. did purchase seat in the Senate of

"0ld Abe"

E. B. Washburne says that Lisle Smith,
the crater, was the first man who called
Abraham Lincoln "Old Abe" 1t was in
Chicago, in July, 1S47, when Mr.. Lincoln
was young man of SO. At that time be
was tall, angular and awkward. He
wore straw hat. a short wasted, swal'
low tail coat. short waistcoat, trousers
that barely reached his ankles and pair
of brogans. Seeing him on the other
side of the street in Chicago, Mr.. Smith
called out to Mr.. Washburne and others
There is Lincoln on the other side OF
the street; just look at "Old Abep And
from that time he was "Old Abe"
