The process Of making glucose will
be best understood by following the
corn from the time it enters the fac
tory until it runs out at spigot, clear,
odorless liquid. The shelled corn is
first soaked for several days in water,
to soften the hull and prepare it for
the cracking process The softened
corn is conveyed by elevators to one
of the highest stories of the factory,
and shoveled into large hoppers, from
which it passes into mills that merely
crack the grains without reducing
them at once to fine meal. The
cracked grain is then conducted to a
large tank filled with rinsing water.
The bulls of the corn float at the top of
the water, the germs sink to the bot
tom, and the portions of the grain
containing the starch, becoming grad
ually reduced to flour by friction, are
held in solution in the water. BY an
ingenious process both the hulls and
the germs are removed, and the flour
part now held in solution contains
nothing but starch and gluten.
This liquid is then made to flow
over a series of tables, representing
several acres in area, and the differ
euce in the specific gravity of the two
substances causes the gluten and the
starch to separate without the use of
chemicals. The gluten is of u golden
yellow color, and the starch snow
white. BY the time gluten has been
completely eliminated the starch as
sumes plastic form. and is collected
from the separating tables by wheel
barrowfuls and taken to drying
room, where it is prepared as the
starch of commerce, or is placed in q
chemical apparatus to be converted
into glucose. American Analyst.

Mothers !!

There are upon the skin of every human
being, child and adult alike, 2, 300, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of invisible
persplratioh is expelled more than one
quarter of the nOurishment taken into the
system. The importance of keeping open
these perspiration valves upon child's body
is second only to that of properly digestng
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores of
the skin and to assimilate the food that DR..
Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels,
fevers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. IL is from the won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castora in regulating the stomach and bow
els and keeping open the poresofthe skin that
Castora acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body. pure air

1t has long been known that the
house fly and various other flies
have been the cause of malignant pus-
tule by carrying the contagion of an
thrax from diseased animals or ami
NAL substance to man. During the
last year DIR. Alessi has been expert
menting with flies to determine their
liability to spread the infection of tu-
berculosis. The bacillus of this dis
ease was found in the intestines and
excrement of flies which had feasted
on tuberculous sputa; and their dried
fasces, in which, with the aid of the
microscope, the bacillus was known to
exist, was used for inoculating rab-
bits, and the animals became tubercu-
lous. According to the "Annals
d'Hygiene Publique," it has been
found in the Nile country that the
granular opthalma of that region can
be spread by house flies passing from
the eyes of those who are afflicted
with the disease to other persons

a NEGRO CUSTOM.
Putting Playthings and Medicine Bottles
ON the Graves of Children.

ON the Graves of Children.
While strolling last Sunday little
way outside the city limits, near the
head of Eighteenth street, / noticed
two carriages filed with colored people
entering am Enclosure. saw that it
was cemetery and followed. A stall
wart negro took from one OF the car
riages a small coffin, and with the
ceremony OF short prayer, it was de-
posted in the earth Six or eight
friends of the dead babe stood with
fearful eyes during the few minutes
occupied in filling the little grave;
then they re-entered the carriages and
drove away. Just before leaving a
woman, whom | judged to be the be.
reaved mother, laid upon the mound
two or three infants toys.
Looking among the large number of
graves of children, / observed this
practice to be very general. Some
were literally covered with playthings.
There were nursing bottles, rattle box
es, tin horses and wagons, "Noah's
ark" sets of dishes, marbles, tops,
china cups and saucers, states, picture
books in endless number and variety.
Many of them had apparently lain
there for years, articles Of perishable
nature having been almost destroyed
by sun and storm. There were very
few children's graves which did not
have something of this kind upon
them On many of the larger graves
were pretty vases, statuettes and other
articles suitable to more adult years.
Upon inquiry was told that this
custom is almost universal among the
colored people in the south. The SEN
timent that prompts it readily suggests
itself, but it is not quite so easy to un-
aerstand another feature which I no
heed. Upon fully half the small
graves, lying or standing, partly bur
led in the earth, were medicine bot
ties of every size and shape. Some
were nearly full and all contained
more or less of the medicine which
had no doubt been used in the effort
to ward off the visit Of death. The
usual number of these on each grave
was from one to three, but on one l
counted eight. The placing of these
bottles is certainly singular conceit
and would seem to border on super
stition. Just why they do it is not
clear. I was impelled by curiosity to
inquire of two or three negroes about
it, but they seemed no better able to
explain it than / was. One old woman
who was lettering about the cemetery
said in answer to my question:
Il KANT tell ye why, mister, but
