mouth, another favorite liquor, is adul-
terated with hydrochloric or sulphuric
acid in order to give it pungent taste.
Kirsch is extracted from the leaves of
the cherry laurel and contains as much
as twenty-five centigrams of prussic
acid per litre, instead of five or six
centigrams. Rum is manufactured al
ways with alcohol distilled from the
beet root, to which is added ether and
formic acid. The bouquets of BRAN
dies are manufactured by the action of
sulphuric acid on castor oil. The col
or:ag matters employed are extracted
from logwood, the elder, sorrel, flu
chsine, and coal. Such is the trash
which is daily consumed by the Paris
ians.-Nep York Su,e.

THE LOVE FUGUE.

sDo you really love me?" he asked, as
he bent down and kissed her white fore
head.
''You know d." she answered, in
low voice.
That was all they said, I suppose,
but it was quite enough. When a man
and woman have told each other of
their love, there is little more to say.
They probably say it again, and repeat
it in different keys and with different
modulations. 1 can imagine that a
man in love might find many pretty
expressions, but the gist of the thing
is the same. Model conversation as
follows, in fugue form for two voices:
Hell love you. Do you love me-?
Cheney
She-Very much. 1 love you more
than you love me. (Answer.)
He-No; 1 love you most. Sub
theme.)
She-Not more. That is impossible.
(Sub-answer.)
| He and She-Then we love each
other very much. A due roci.)
She-Yes. But am not sure that
you can love me as much as [ do YOU,
(Stretto.) Etc, etc., etc.
By using these simple themes you
may easily write a series of converse
tions in at least twenty-four keys, on
the principle of Bach's Wohltempperirtcs

posed for two voices only.-Cratord' IS

TEE POLITICALLY AND THE SAGE.

An Ambitious Politician went to a
Sage once upon time, and said:
"Oh, Wise Man, want Advice.
How can secure the Nomination for
Governor?o
''Cause it to be Published broadcast
IN the Land that you Positively decline
to rum" was the answer.
A few weeks later the Politician re-
turned with Woeful look, and Re-
proachfully said:
II took your Advice and am left.
The People thought was honest in my
Declination, and so Nominated An
other"
''Then you can console yourself with
the Reflection that it is the first time a
Politician was ever Credited with Hon
esty,' said the old man as he returned
to his Sage business.

DEACON WHITE

In the deep recess of one If tho v,n.
dows in the corridor of the ho,sa of
representatives is telegraph instru-
a'ehe' fenced off from the thorough
fare by iron railing. A rather stout
woman sits there constantly from II
O'CLOCK in the morning until O'Clock
IN the afternoon with her hand on the
Key. Occasionally she gets a message.
whlch she writes out and tucks in a
ilttle drawer in the table. Every few
minutes short, chunky man, with
spectacles on his nose, and brown
beard sprinkled with gray, comes out
IRON the centre room of the house and
goes TO the iron railing with spry
step. The operator takes the messages
from the drawer, hands them to him,
ana he writes the answers on the re-
verse side of the same sheet of paper.
linen he goes back into the house again
and takes his seat in the front row of
desks, Immediately under the speakers
eye.
The short, chunky man is Deacon
white, the famous broker, and the
other end of that wire is in his Office in
Wall street, New York. He leases
the wire from the Western Union and
knows what is going OH in his office in
New York just as well as if he sat at
his desk there instead of being in the
house. 1t costs him a good many
thousand dollars year for this wire
alone, and no one knows how much
morefor the privilege of sitting in the
house of representatives.
Mr.. White has made but one speech
since he has been in congress, and that
was the speech of a business man.
When the committee on appropria-
lions brought in the bill to pay the de-
ticiencies which it failed to provide for
at the last session, Mr.. White moved
an amendment giving interest to the
persons who had for this reason been
kept out of the money due them for
nearly year, at the rate of per cent;
but he was voted down very promptly,
as the government does not pay inter

LOVE ON THE HALE-sHELL.

She sat idly watching the empty
oyster shells on her plate, while he
finished the last morsel of cracker
within reach.
"Mr. Sampson" she said, with a
little blush, "do you think that young
ladies are justified in taking advantage
of their leap year privileges?"
His heart gave one great saddle rock
bound, for she was rich and he was
poor, and he loved her with that mad
passion 80 common to this condition of
society. He fervently assured her that
he did.
"Then, Mr.. Sampson, she said shy
ly, II think would like dozen more
