Tar consists of two distinct kinds
tree and mineral. The first is made
from the pine and fir trees, by burning
the wood in confined manner, so that
the wood is charred into coal and its
resinous properties, acid vapor and
smoke from the smouldering wood,
combining into dark Wis id liquid, OF
tar, about the consistency of heavy mo.
lasses. The manufacture and uses oi
tree tar were as well known to the an.
cient Greeks as to the people of the
eighteenth century, and there really ia
no material difference in the process OF
making between then and now. The
process of manufacture is as follows
They select spot on a side hill, into
which they dig a hole four or five feet
square, leading from which is spout OF
trough. Over this they build pyramid
of resinous wood to the height of eight
or ten feet, covering the entire pile with
turf or dirt, leaving small aperture at
the top for the escape of steam and sur
plus smoke. The slow, confined heat
forces the resinous properties from the
wood down into the pit beneath, where

re3inous properties, acid and smoke OF
the wood. The Carolinas and Geor2ia
produce more tar than all the rest of
our States Fitch is tar boiled down to
dense mass, and used hot to smear the
bottoms and sides Of vessels, to make
them water-tight. 1t is also used for
sealing the interior of beer and ale kegs.
1t is considerably used for medical pur-
poses. Coal or mineral tar is obtained
from the distilation of bituminous caol
(soft coaD and peat, and was first dis
covered by an English chemist in 1719.
1t has penetrating, nasty odor. Peat
consists of roots and tibres that have
been continually saturated with water
for ages known as peat bog. Peat
when dried is mu h used as fuel, espe-
cially in Ireland. Large quantities of
coal tar suits from the burning of btu
minous coal in retorts while making gas,
and is also obtained in large quantities
from the refining of petroleum. Coal
tar is considerably used for paint ng iron
surfaces that are exposed, and roofs. 1t
has also been found to contain very val
liable chemical properties, among which
arc the anilne dyes, which are the most
brilliant of al in use.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

No man is more severely punished
than he who Is subject to the whip of his
own remorse.
He that will not look before him will
have to look behind him--and probably
with some regret.
Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The
past cannot be changed. The future is
yet in your power.
He is rich whose income is more than
his expenses, aud he is poor whose ex-
penses exceed his income.
If we hope for what we are not likely
to possess, we act and think in vain, and
make life greater dream and shadow
thar it really is,
1t is impossible that an ill-natured
man can have public spirit, for how
shall he love ten thousand men who
never loved one2
There cannot be more worthy i'm
prov ment of friendship than in fer
vent opposition TO the sins of those whom
we profess to love.
Love is like painter, who, in draw
ing the picture of friend having a
blemish in one eye, would picture only
the other side of the face
A child who grows up loving goof
books is saved from many temptation
that bcset the empty minded. lie ca
always find good companion; he neeo
never be lonely.
He is the greatest man who choose,
the right with in incible resolution, who
bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully
and whose reliance on truth and virtue
is the most unfaltering.

Antelopes and Cold Weather.

Among the novel sights along the
Union Pacific through Wyoming is that
of great herds of antelope. One band,
which has been about Rock Springs the
last ten days, is supposed to number
over 10000. A party went out from
that town one day and returned in two
hours with seventeen, which were all
they wanted, but they could have killed
many more. Another party went from
Bryan and bagged thirty ysix before they
got tired of the sport, and were glutted
with meat. So it is all along the road,
from Laramie to Carter. Old railway
men say that the punching of antelope
is a good indication that the winter is to
be a severe one. They refer to the fall
of 1871, when the antelope gathered in
great herds and remained together dur
ing the winter, which was the worst
ever experienced on the road. The
same was the case several other winters
VIII oh proved very 'evere. But they
say they never saw them in such large
herds before. Not only antelope, but
all her kinds of game appear to be
more abundant in the West than for
many years. Salt LAKE Tribune.

TO MY WIFE.

Why need you care, dear wife, or hesd
The passing OF your early gracel
What though the lilies superse1e
The springtime roses of your farel
What though the azure of your eyes
Has nell owed to n softer blue'
The fairest tints that deck the skies
Are caught from twilight's fading hue.
Why should the ri 9enel fruit regret
Its summer bloom, howe'er 50 fair!
Why need you sigh, though Time should set
His crown of silver on your HART
The sweetest fragrance Of the rose
Ia from its fading petals pres ed,
And Nature spreads her earliest snow,
Above the flowers she loves the best
What care we for the vanished years,
Save for the fruit their summers brought
What care we for our fallen tears,
Save for the rainbows on then wrought;
Why should we mourn the joys we shared,
Or see them perish with regret,
Since on the fruit our hearts have Jared,
And memory keeps the rainbows yet!
What though our winter time has come,
And summers buds and bl )omS expire
Love hath an ever radiant home,
And bids us welcome to its fire.
He dwelt with us through all the spring;
We sheltered him from summers heat;
Now at his hearth we'll sit and sing,
And let the wintry tempest beat.

two persons-man and wife for in.
