A lesson to Young Men.

Two young men and two young
women attended the theater together
in st. Louis few evenings ago. At
the end of the first act the young men
rose and crowded their way out of the
row in which they sat and disappeared
in the refreshment-room Their female
friends were displeased by the maneu-
yer, and one of them proposed that they
should also leave and go home. The
other thought it best to give the young
men another chance. The clove-eaters
returned, pushed their way back to their
seats, and the play went on, but the
young women showed less interest in
their attentions. When the curtain
rang down on the second act the young
men again went out for more breath.
Quickly the young women left the
theater. took cab, and went home. The
young men. on discovering the empty
seats, flushed In the face and straight
way took their departure. 1t was a
good lesson for them Chicago Times.

Society at an Army Post.

One of the Irish laundresses at a
Western post was evidently infatuated
with army life, as she was the widow
of a volunteer officer, and therefore
drew pension-a fact which proves
that money could mot have been the
inducement that brought her back to u
frontier post.
At one time she forsook her fasci-
mating clothes-line, and went into the
family of an officer to cook, but was
Obliged to leave from illness. Her
place was satisfactorily filed, and
when she recovered and came back to
the officers wife, she was told that the
present cook had been engaged to re-
main, but that she might find II place
with the wife of another officer.
1t seems that the latter woman had
also been laundress at one time, and
this the applicant well knew. Squar-
ing herself off in an indescribable
manner, she placed her arms akimbo
and announced her platform;
"Mrs. Blank, ken work for Teddy,
brt can't go there. There was a
time when Mrs. --- and | had our

ADULTERATED LARD.
A Simple Test for Detecting the Presence
of Cotton-Seed Oil.

VI NOLbOh~occo OiAs
The recent examinations of lard
made at the Agricultural Department
have resulted iii the discovery of a test
by which the presence of cottonseed-oil
may be detected Instantly by any dealer
or housekeeper. The experiment is as
follows: AS much lard as can be taken
up on the point of case-knife is placed
in teacup. About quarter of an
ounce of sulphuric acid is poured upon
it and thoroughly mixed with it. If
the lard is pure, it will coagulate, and
there will be little difficulty in the
mixing. If it is adulterated with cot
tonSeed-oil and stearine. the mixture
will take place Immediately and easily.
After half a minute, one-fourth of an
ounce more of sulphuric acid should be
poured upon and mixed with it. The
whole process thus far should not oc-
cupy more than one minute.
The substance thus obtained is poured
into common test-tube, such as may
be bought at any chemists shop for a
a few pennies. Tho acid, somewhat
colored, will sink to the bottom, and
the fatty substance will remain on top.
II the lard thus tested was pure, the
color of the latter will be that of light
colored sponge, changing in minute
or so to dark cinnamon color. If it
has been adultcrated with cottonseed-
oil, the color at first will be darker,
changing Immediately to dark brown.
These differences of color are so marked
that no experience is required to detect
them.
Cards might "a printed upon which
the colors produced by the sulphuric
acid reaction for Both pure and adul-
terated lards might be shown; and deal
ers, by using this test, may prove to
their customers in minute or two that
the lad that they are selling is an un-
adulterated article. The experiment is
simple. and the cost of it almost moth
ing. The novel thing about it is the
placing of the mixture in test-tube in
which the acid may become separated
from the fatty substance. thus making
the test much more decisive and salts
factory. This was first suggested by
DR.. Thomas Taylor, who has extended
his experiments to a great number of
different animal and vegetable oils

NEW USES FOR TAR.
How to Render Drains and Roofing Tiles
Perfectly Water-Tight.


The coating of brick and wooden
structures with coal tar, as a rough and
ready means Of preserving them from
the action of damp, has been common
from the earliest days of gas industry.
1t has also been usual in chemical works
to protect the stones used in the con-
struction of acid tanks, etc, by pre-
liminary soaking in heated tar. But
the great improvement in strength and
impermeability to moisture, which re-
suits from the simple operation of boil
ing bricks and stones in gas tar, is
certainly not so generally known as it
should be. Professor Lunge, in the
new edition OF his work, ''Coal Tar and
Ammonia" draws attention to the SUBJ
ject, and indicates several useful APP
plications. He points out that drain
and roofing tiles, which are quite porous
and brittle as they leave the kiln, may
be rendered absolutely water tight and
much stronger by immersion i'll bath
of hot tar. Building stones are greatly
improved by similar treatment; and for
many purposes the dead black color
which results is an advantage rather
than an objection. The tar should be
deprived of water and its most volatile
oils; and to produce good results the
bath must be maintained at a tempera-
-ture OF 100 degrees c. The articles to
be treated should be thoroughly dried,
and allowed to remain in the tar for
some time Christian at Work
