Making Fine Grade Candies.

The process Of making the cream" Is
identical In both wholesale and retail es-
adjustments. Confectioners' sugar Is
first boiled until 1t becomes q thick and
waxy syrup. 1t is then turned out on
slabs and allowed to partially COOL In
the retail establishments 1t is then worked
with wooden paddles until the grain Is so
stretched that the mass is resolved into
soft, snowy compound. ready for the
favors or to be mixed with fruit or nuts.
In the Wholesale factories 100 pounds of
clear syrup is turned out on a slab at one
time. When 1t has cooled enough to work
candymaker stations himself at either
end He holds common garden spade.
Together the two workers turn and turn
the hardening sugar until 1t is white.
Then it is packed away in big iron recep-
taeles and covered with heavy, wet cloths
70 keep it from hardening,
This cream Is the basis of all the finest
grade candies In the market It is In the
manufacture of this cream that dealers
have revplutionized methods and brought
that of America to the highest standard
In the world. Candy is not made in such
vast quantities in any other land. The
famous confections Of the Orient are not
to be compared, either in quality or guam
tity, with those of the United States.
Eastern compounds are largely OF tne
nougat order and made in small quanti-
ties. Armenian Greeks offer Turkish
paste along State street every day for
sale. 1t is turned out in a, big cone ex-
actly rs it is cooled in tho pot. It is sold
In slices. 1t is after this same fashion
that the confections of the east are oil
made. French bonbons do not suit the
American palate. They are not distinct

Every one Immediately associates the
mention of Berne with bears. The coat
of arms consists of one of these animals,
and everywhere and on everything they
appear-in stone and in wood, carved and
painted. and alive in the pits, where they
have been maintained at the expense Of
the government from time immemorial.
Fountains are ornamented with bears; If
the fountain itself is not bruin, one is
sure to be found in the vicinity. A statue
of Berthold Won Zohringen surmounts q
watering trough, and by him stands a
small bear with sword hanging by it's
side and acting the part of helmet bearer.
Sunday afternoon the entire populace, old
and young, dress In gala attire and visit
the pits. A double row is formed around
the railing; each person purchases carrots
or bread to throw the pets, whCsc cle-
phantine-like gambols provoke shouts Of
laughter from the surrounding multitude.
They really are most amusing animals.
A deep tank is in the center of the den,
and while we were present a regular
wrestling match took place between two
hoary old fellows, in which the great
| struggle was to throw one another into

ing his opponent thorough ducking, and
then sat on the brink eyeing his defeated
adversary, his head on one side, and rub
bing his immense paws, apparently with
| the greatest enjoyment. One of the
lockers on declared that he grinned and

tertained as to the veracity of that state

Paris I.enkla No Longer.

London, not Paris, now leads in matters
of fashion both for men and women.
When the Empress Eugenie left Paris and
the republic took the place of the empire,
the reign of the French as leaders of fash
ion ended. Mrs. Leslie Is of this opinion,
and her opinion Is entitled to respect. She
Is a woman of fashion herself although
deeply immersed in business affairs, and
Is close and keen observer. Moreover,
she visits the European capitals annually,
and thus has peculiar opportunity to form
an opinion. She says: 1.-THE reign of Paris
as fashion queen is over, and in my opin
ion will never return. Why9 Because
London and New York have obtained a
supremacy which they will never relin-
quish. Finer dresses are made for court
wear in London than anything now called
for In Paris. For street wear who can
equal an English ladies' tailor2 And for
gay attire, where harmony of colors is
and milliners take the lead of all others.
Some charming bonnets, greatly admired
in aristocratic London drawing rooms last
spring. were made in Washington"
As to the "dowdy" appearance Of Eng.
lishwomen In the public streets which
some hypercritical writer's have noticed,
Mrs. Leslie explains: ut is deemed bad
taste, immodest even, to display rich cos.
tunes to the common eye In public. Only
to their peers In society do English high
born ladies reveal the wealth and magnih
cence Of their wardrobe. On visit to q
friends house they appear each evening
in different toilet with jewels to match
and, favored by exceptional physiques
that lend majesty to costliest costumes
and with bloom and vigor far past the
turning point in other women. our Eng
lish aristocratic lady cousins are by nc
means second to the French. Home

The successful western newspaper is,
above all things, enterprising, and this
quality, now so wonderfully developed, Is
legacy from the pioneer press. The
special telegraph wires Of today from
Cincinnati and Chicago to New York,
Washington and important nearby cities
had their prototypes in the pony expresses
and special messengers of the pre-rsilroad
and ante-telegraph times. And 1t re-
quired more courage and pluck to send
out the latter than to put In the former.
This enterprise displayed itself in many
startling ways, as 1t does today. 1t ad-
apted itself to surrounding circumstances.

Dudes Among the Crows.

In personal appearance the Crow Indian
men are fine looking-tall and well

Boston people nowadays have their su-
perfuous teeth drawn by means of cleo
tricity. Inasmuch as all new ideas In tho
arts and sciences are spread from this en-
lightened metropolis originally, and from
hence extended over the country, there Is
little doubt that sooner or later this new
method will supersede Laughing gas and
ether In other big cities OF the Union.
The process in question is very simple,
scarce any apparatus being required be-
yond an ordinary two cell battery, with
vibrator attachment. This attachment is
thin strip Of metal, fastened at the ends,
which Is made to vibrate a thousand or
more times per second by the electric cur
rent At each vibration the circuit Is cut
of and renewed again, the effect being to
give a perfectly steady flow Of the mys-
terious fluid. In order to make sure that
the flow is quite satisfactory the operator
tunes the machine--asssted by little
reed tuning pipe-until the strip OF metal
sings "a" SO far, so good.
Now to the battery are attached three
wires. Two Of them have handles at the
ends, and the third is hitched to for
ceps. The patient In the chair is given
handle to hold in each hand, and the cur
rent is turned on gradually until II be-
comes painful Then he is told TO grasp
the handles as strongly as possible, the
eleftricity-having been switched off for
a moment--is turned on again suddenly,
and the dental surgeon applies his forceps
simultaneously to the tooth. The instant
the molar is touched, it, as well as the
parts surrounding, becomes electrified and
absolutely insensible to pain. When 1t Is
withdrawn from the socket. the subject
Of the operation feels not the slightest
disagreeable sensation. A Jerk and tho
tooth is out, the patient drops the handles
and the affair is over. Boston Cor. Globe

Fancy Leathers Of Commerce,

The morocco leather of commerce is
either goat or sheep skin. Goat skins
are treated differently from the skins
which make the thicker leather, being
tanned with sumac, and all thicknesses
Of the leather being used. The skins Of
wool bearing animals, like the sheep, are
commonly soft and spongy. and therefore
unsuitable for shoes designed for rough
wear, SO the sheep skins are generally
used for facings and Innings For our
sheep skins we are indebted TO Australia
and South America, and they come to us
by the way of England, where the wool
is taken from them and the skin shipped
TO us as raw material, The various fancy
feathers, such as alligator, seal and the
like, are very often sheep and goat

Have you had much experience with

MANY and many case. | remember

was eventually cured.
81 remember another case where man
In Arkansas wrote me saying that one
day while he was digging in the garden
his little child came running out TO play.
AS soon as he saw her sudden desire to
kill her with the spade came over him.
He said the feeling was SO strong that he
had to tell the child to leave the garden.
Afterwards he declared that he feared he
would kill his family. wrote him to go
to an asylum Immediately, because II he
did not the mania would grow and he
would certainly kill some one, In which
event he would be morally as guilty as IL
he had planned the murder in his sober
senses.
THE case OF De Mallard, tho French.
man, is noted one, and from the fact
that the victims were all women 1t is
peculiarly interesting. He used to adver-
tise for servant girls. When they came
he would lead them off to some secluded
spot and murder them There was no
other object than a mad thirst for human
blood. lie is known to have murdered
six women in this way, and is supposed to
have killed many more whose bodies were
never discovered. He was executed. The
books are full Of such cases, and they are
not confined to men, either. Women have
figured quite as prominently. One French
woman, between 1858 and 1857. murdered
over twenty people. She used poison in
every instance and her victims included
relatives, neighbors, physicians and nuns.
She attended number Of her victims
while they were on their deathbeds and
gave every evidence of being deeply
affected. Perhaps she was. OF course
she had no object except an insane desire
to see people die.
