Boring For Natural Gas.

Ignatius Donnelly, the discoverer of the al
legged Shakespeare-Bacon cipher, is very quick
and sharp at repartee. His political successes
nave been mainly founded on his smooth speech
and adroit hits when ON the stump. Mr.. Dom
nelly Is prone to be careless in his remarks, and
often descends to roughness, ard sometimes to
vulgarity, which is only pardonable for its
witty connection with the subject in hand. He
with the choicest invective and arraignment,
and Il IL only on record once that he met his
match. George North, now q reporter, was
once assigned TO secure an interview nom Don
nelly during political campaign, and the
sage OF Ninninger declined TO talk. The re-
porter was persistent, and Donnelly testify re-

Luck in the Four-Leafed Clover.

q
From the Boston Gazette.
1t is believed in the Tyrol that if any one has
ga turn" for magic he can acquire the art of
working wonders easily enough if he only
searches for and finds the four-leaved clover on
St. Johns eve.
In the Passierthal the peasants believe that IL
a traveller should, at this time, fall asleep, w.
ing on his back by q certain brook there VIII
come flying white dove bearing four-leaved
clover, which it lets fall on the sleeper's breast
says writer in S. James Gazette. Should he
awake before it fades and at once put it into his
mouth, he will acquire the power of becoming
invisible at will.
A stranger superstition, related in VOLTS
''Zeitscraft fur Deutsche Hydrologic" is to the
effect that If, while priest is reading the ser
vice, any one can, unknown to him, lay four
leaved clover on his mass-book the unfortu-
nate clergyman will not be able to utter
word; he will stand stock still and bewildered
until the person who had played the trick pulls
his robe. Then he can proceed. When an is
over the man who regains his .four-leaf' will
always have luck at 81 kinds Of gambling If
he has tendency to 3npins in America or to
ninepins, If it be in Germany, he makes item
strike" or ale nes1ne every time that he rolls q
ball.
II man loves a woman, or vice versa. and
can obtain two four-leaved clovers and induce
her to eat one, while he himself swallows the
other, mutual love is sure to result Nav, ac-
cording to good gypsy authority, even O trim
patrini kas, or three-leaved clover; win have
this effect Moreover, il is advisable on all
occasions when you make q gift to any
body, no matter what it is, to conceal in it q
clover, since it win render the gift double ac-
ceptable.
Also take four or three-leafed clover and
making hollow In the end or top Of your al
penstock or cane, put the leaf therein, taking
care not to injure it, and close the opening
carefully: Then, 80 long as you walk with 1t,
you Will be less weary than II il were wanting
and VIII enjoy luck in many WAYS.

How Chocolate is Made.

Chocolate" said a New York confectioner,
sis made from beans that grow in pods on the
cacao tree. These trees are numerous in the
West Indies, and it is from there we get our
supplies. The beans are brought hither in the
pod, and put through regular manufacturing
process to produce the chocolate cakes that we
use The first operation is the breaking of the
husks and separating them from the kernels
by blast Of air. Then the beans are ground
with sugar by revolving granite grindstones.
The stones are heated, and the oil Contained in
the bean makes the mass adhere and become a
thick paste. The pulp Is now partly dried and
the ar bubbles are squeezed out in q press,
and 1t Is transferred to the cooling tables
Here 1t is beaten and worked by hand to pro-
duce an even texture and a fine grain. Then
II ID placed in molds, a blast Of cold air 10
turned on, and in few moments the beautiful
glossy tablets are finished.
''The British government has recently di-
rected that chocolate be served two or three
times week in the army and navy. In con-
fectionery the Parisians exceed us in the num-
Der OF preparations Of chocolate. We use it
In its natural flavor only, while they mix es-
sences and other favors with il, until there is
no end to the combinations that they produce,
In England much of the chocolate is adulter-
afed. Some recent tests detected -four, starch
potato, lard, chalk, bran and old sea-biscuit in
specimens offered for SALE"
