Some Facts About Confectionery.

'"The cOnfectioners' art has reached its
highest state Of development, " remarked
a cOnfectioner to the writer the other day,
"and the kind of candies most in demand
at the present are gum drops, lozenges of
various favors, and the delicious and ever
popular marshmallow drops. The latter
are made chiefly of gum arabic, fine sugar
and other ingredients, which are boiled
(in large quantities) in mammoth copper
kettles, made to evolve on a pivot by the
employment of steam power. These rap
idly turning kettles are used for mixing
the compounds. In the case of the marsh
mallOws, they are allowed to cool after
coming from the mixing kettle, after
which the mixture is poured into molds
previously prepared for its reception by
dusting with powdered starch. Gum
drops are composed principally of pure
glucose and sugar, mixed and boiled with
other materials in the usual manner.
''Lozenges," further explained the pro-
prietor, ''are first made in a paste, which
is rolled out in fiat sheet and cut by a
stamping machine to the desired shape
and size. The most steadily popular con-
fection is the caramel. They are made
chiefly of the inevitable boiled sugar and
glucose, made into a syrup and favored
with the essences of lemon, orange,
vanilla, etc. This syrup is allowed to
cool and harden, and is then cut into little
cubes. which are deftly enveloped in small
squares of perfumed parafine paper Ey

1.-THE uses of the pulling hook and the
process of pulling or kneading certain
kinds of candy is too well known to need
any description. The familiar stick
candyis made by first being pulled. What
is known as old fashioned molasses taffy
is also made in this fashion. Thin, trans
parent candy is not subjected to the pull
ing process. New York Evening Sun.

Old Fashioned Political orntorr.

The political oratory Of the United
States for tho first half of the present
century, if we except the speeches Of a
few well known statesmen, lad in it lit
tie, if anything, to commend it to the
student. The addresses were, as rule,
delivered to outdoor assemblies composed
of men whose education had not been
such as to render them critical as to
either matter or manner. The orator had
full license not only in respect to state
ment of fact, but in every other particu-
lar, for the art of stenography had not
reached that perfection which enabled
the reporter to catch every word of the
speaker and fasten it forever on the
printed record of the time. To the un-
educated hearer a ludicrous but indeli-
cate anecdote, humorous but coarse ex-
preston, a torrent of slander, or a flight
of grandiloquent but meaningless rhap-
sody was frequently more satisfactory
than would have been the polished and
witty periods of Wendell Phillips, or the
argumentative discourses of Daniel Web
ster.
We occasionally find now, on the stage
of political action i'll the west, a fossil of

de Revolts Against crueltv.

It is rather in others and for others that
the modern civilized man breads pain. He
finds it harder to know that other men are
suffering the pains Of cold or hunger in
Kansas or Ireland or India; or that "pris-
oners Of poverty" are working for pit
tances in the great cities; or that laborlng
men are driven to work sixteen hours q
day; or that criminals are tortured or mis-
treated in the chain gang; or that 'politi-
calls" are driven to insanity in the Russian
state prisons. He resents and Furnishes
cruelty to animals where his great grand
father, perhaps, thought nothing Of send
ing a slave to the whipping post. He re-
volts even against harshness in Just
punishment, and desires to alleviate some
Of the horrors of hanging. If he ignores
a case Of cruelty, it is from lack Of ON
niscience; let him know about it, and the
world shall know his feelings about It.

BIinding the Cantor,

While Mr.. Anderson was leisurely trav-
cling through South Africa, in a wagon
drawn by sixteen oxen, he heard from the
Bushmen many stories of their remarkable
escapes from lions. One Bushman, having
been seized by the arm by lion, had the
presence of mind to use his free arm to
take up handful Of sand and throw it in
the lions eyes. The beast, roaring with
pain and blinded, let go the man, who ran
away before tho lion could recover his
sight. Mr.. Anderson saw the man and
the marks Of the lions teeth on his arm.
That lion was not as cool as a sergeant
in the United States army, who was sta
toned at one of the forts on1he western
plains. A soldier, having deserted, was
captured by the sergeant in mining
camp fifty miles from the fort.
While returning, they were passing q
saloon and the prisoner begged the privi
lege Of going in and getting drink.
The sergeant consented, and they went il
together and stood before the bar, OF
which was pepper box filed with cay
enne pepper.
The soldier took the box up, unscreweC
the perforated lid, threw a handful Of rec
pepper into the sergeant's eyes, anC
started for the door. The blinded man
though suffering intensely, retained hi
self possession. He drew his revolver
fired in the direction of the retreatinl
footsteps, and shot the deserter through
the heart.-Youth's Companion.

Gold and Silver Product.

A valuable report from the director of
the mint states that the total product OF
gold and silver in the United States during
1887 exceeded $86, 500, 000 OF this total
the gold was $33, 3,O03,OO California is
the largest producer Of the yellow metal,
the yield of her mines exceeding S13, ,O0O,-
600. The director estimates that last
year the net gain to the country of bull
lion anu coin by imports was $28, 800, 900,
and that we used in the industrial arts
about $14 $780, 00G worth of gold and So
000, 900 worth of silver. The product of
these precious metals in the United States
appears to be more than one-third that of
the whole world. In 1886 the world pro-
duced about sos, 1000, 900 of gold and $780,
000,00 of silver. If, however, of our
production of these metals is large for
our population, our consumption of them
is proportionately large and seemingly ex-
travagant. The worlds annual consump-
tion of gold and silver, as nearly as can
be determined, is respectively SAG, ,000,-
600 and $22, 100000. The population of
the United States cannot now he more
than 8 per cent. that of the world, but
we use in the industrial arts not far from
80 per cent. Of all the gold and 20 per
cent. of all the silver similarly consumed
by all the world.-New York Herald. ~

There are a great many funny things

eagerly sought by the man who wants TO
trade money for lineage. Few Of them

Copy for the Editor.

Most editors dislike pencil copy. It is
hard to read and bothers desk editor and
compositors alike. News paper paper
like that on which newspapers are printed
should never be used for anything but
newspaper copy. If it is used, the sheets
should never be larger than commercial
note size.
Editors may not complain of pencil
copy, but they prefer pen and ink copy
every time. OF course, if a writer has q
regular and assured position, he may con-
suit only his own convenience and disre-
gard the wishes of those who handle his
copy; but if he is sending his matter to
an uncertain market the neater and hand
somer he makes it, the more likely it is to
sell.-''W. II. IL" in The Writer.

Secrecy and the Rose,

Hippocrates, the god of silence, carries
as his symbol a rose given to him by
Cupid From the idea Of secrecy or re-
serve that associates itself with roses
came the old custom recorded by the
Greeks. When the people of the north
they say, wished to preserve the most
profound secrecy in regard to what was
said between themselves at their feasts,
a freshly gathered rose was hung from
the ceiling above the upper end of the
blade. 1t was considered not only dis
honorable but a crime to reveal that which
had been said sub rosa.-Sophie B. Her

Temperance is superior to regularity,

everything is governed by circumstances
