High.Gauge Thermometers.

Mercury extracted from cinnabar ore
mined i'll California is most highly priced
by the manufacturers of thermometers.
Making high register thermometers
has become u business of itself, and con
siderable art and ingenuity are required
to make n success of these valuable in
struments. With the adjustment of the
thermometer to n high scale of heat
and the perfect accuracy with which it
may be made TO guage temperatures of
great intensity, many new uses have
been made Of it. For instance, in 60
ing about the city one finds the high.
grade thermometer in the hands of con-
fectioners, brewers, hotel and rcstau-
rant cooks aud others who in former
days made no use of the instrument
whatever in their respective lines.
These high-gauge thermometers will
register the temperature of ovens to as
high point rs 900. Hotel and res
taurant cooks, by computing the num-
Der OF pounds in pie G of meat and the
temperature of the oven, can tell exactly
how long to allow JOINT to cook and
know precisely when it is "done to a
turn" Confectioncrs use thermometer
indicating as high as $50 degrees to
ascertain when their candy has been
boiled to sufficiently high degree. A
specially made instrument is used by
brewers, running as high as $50 degrees.
for taking the temperature of their mash
tubs.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

We may be ruined by the excessive use
of good things.
The greatest of fools is he who i'm
poses on himself.
There is always spot in our sunshine;
it is the shadow of ourselves.
"Almost" is the difference between
the conscientious man and the liar.
If conscience smitc thee once it is adj
monition; if twice, it is condemnation.
Always hold fast to love. We win bv
tenderness, and conquer by forgiveness.
When borrowing reaches the chronic
stage it also assumes the malignant
form.
Many men will work harder for a
days pleasure than they will fora weeks
wages.
The chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken.
When man has not good reason for
doing thing, he has one good reason
for letting it alone
The greatest pleasures often originate
IN pain, and the worst pains usually
spring out of pleasures.
Only what we have wrought into our
character during life can we take with
us into the other world.
Silence is the softest response for all
the contradictions that arise from i'm
pertincncc, vulgarity and envy.
Only in rare cases do people stumble
upon profitable success. We must work
for it and the work must be well di-
rected.

to repentance. Mr.. Aseltine and Deacon

marks with some interesting remarks
concerning the various methods of inn
