POOR UNCLE SANDY.
How He Rewarded the Kindness or HIS
Generous Benefactor.

How He Rewarded the Kindness or Ills
Generous Benefactor.
1t was when winter was just closing
in, and the frost was making
the planks crack and snap, that l
met Uncle Sandy. He was of real old
African stock, with a smile always COW
ering his face, and he laughed heartily
as he stopped me and said:
II was jist a-finkin'i l was jist
a-finkin' dat if l should meet de angel
Gabriel, an he should AK me to walk
wild him, an desc yere butes should
frow me down, how 'shamed de ole man
would be of hisself-yah! ha! ha!''
He held up one foot and then the 9th
err. l could see his black toes peeping
through the holes. l gave him some
money to get repairs made, and 1t was
three months before | ran across him
again. Then l met him one biting cold
dav. He was without an overcoat. He
remembered me, and he burst out laugh
ing as he said:
Got dem butes all fixed, but Gabr'el
didn't dun cum along yit
You couldn't walk far with him
without an overcoat.
Oats so, mas'r. If Gabriel should
cum I'd hev to take him whar' dar' was
fiah-yah! ha! hal"
Between Uncle Sandy and myself and
a secondhand dealer the old fellow got
an overcoat-the first he ever had. If
you give to charity you like to give to
those who neither demand it nor seem
to expect it. That gives you chance
to surprise them, and word or two OF
gratitude is ample recompense.
When spring came met Uncle Sandy
for the third time. 1t was slushy and
sloppy, and the old boots were rent and
worn. There is an end even to an old
boot. You may peg and patch and cob

He was fixed up for boots, and one
day, two months later, a boy came after

he said, as he gripped my hand.
"And are the boots out of repair?" l
asked.

A ,SALAD-EATING RACE.
A Brief Review OF the Dietary of th'
French Peasantry.

A Brief Review of the Dietary OF the
French Peasantry.
Bread, and plenty of it, is the grand
foundation of his dietary. Potatoes are
admitted as an addition and a change,
but not, as in Ireland, as the staff OF
life. Salad in unlimited quantity and
frequency from the beginning to the
end Of its season; mache, corn salad or
lamb lettuce-a great favOrite, al
though, being eaten, it leaves an after
taste of ones having swallowed drugs
from an apothecary' shop-dandeliOn,
green and blanched; radishes, little
red, round and long, and big black,
white, or yellow Spanish; lettuce, cos
and cabbage; water cress, endive,
curled and broad-leaved, and cooked
beet root, cold, are all considerable
articles of consumption, of course
helped down with a huge slice OF
bread. How often can you eat saladP'
l asked a young peasant. ''Ihree
times a day, monsieur, so long as it
lasts" was the answer. French bea1Ea
"princesses"- or "fageolets" are in
great request, either hot as dinner
dish, or cold dressed as salad with oil
and vinegar. Boiled haricOts, also,
plain, hot, or dressed as salad cold,
come in as substantial mess in win
ter. An indispensable repast with
the French working peasant is his
collation." a solid slice of bread
eaten at four or five o'clock in the
afternoon and frequently taken with
him or carried out to him in the fields
perhaps with little grease spread on
it as luxury-and consumed with
leaf of sorrel or lettuce laid on it as a
thumb piece; or their place IS taken
by few spring onions--the Trimmings
of the beds-or Glove of garlic. In
the south red, fiery capsicum is thus
INDUCED in, to relieve and season the
bread-which, perhaps, is partially
made with the flour of maize. Sup
ported by this inexpensive treat the
rustics resume their work till summer
time.-Al the Year Round.

VALUABLE INVENTION.
A Process for Making Printing Ink from
Spent Cotton Waste.

A Process for Making Printing Ink from
Spent Cotton Waste.
The utilization of waste products,
which has made such great progress
during the last two decades, has ex-
perienced a further development in
department in which we are more es-
pecially interested. We refer to the
process of Mr.. G.. T. Bastand, Bermond,
sey, London, by means of which spent
cotton waste is made to yield up all the
oil and greasy matter contained In 1t,
the latter being subsequently converted
into that useful agent of civilization,
printers ink. Cotton waste, as our
readers are aware. is used to clear
machinery of all descriptions. When
spent-that is to say, used up-lt Is full
of refuse oil and grease. Hitherto, il
has been the practice to boil the spent
cotton waste in solution OF caustlc
soda, by which process all the grease
is extracted, to wash it, and mix it with
new waste, when it is again placed
upon the market. The oils and grease
are allowed TO run TO waste.
Mr.. Bastand proceeds in a very diff
ferent and at the same time highly re-
munerative manner. He places the
spent cotton waste in closed cylinder
heated by steam by means OF an interior
coil. He then pumps a solution OF
bisulphate of carbon into the cylinder
containing the waste upon which the
chemical acts, separating the oil and
grease. In their combined state, the
bisulphate solution and oil are then
run by him into another steam-heated
cylinder. Here the bisulphi becomes
vaporized, and passes the-ce to con
densers, and is finally run into stone
tank, to be used over and over again
the loss of bisulphate being almost i'm
perceptible. The cotton waste freed
from oil is washed, dried and sold
again.
The far more valuable product OBJ
tanned, the oil, is ran from the second
cylinder into tanks, pumped thence
into a copper heated by small porta-
DlO 1llI Il6lCCp No "AACCASp NAAN
freed from all moisture. 1t is then
pumped into a second copper, where it
is converted into the varnish from
which printing ink is made When the
varnish has been brought down to its
proper consistency, the furnace is with
drawn, and the varnish is taken to the
Westinghouse. where it is incorporated
with the necessary pigments and other
ingredients necessary to produce the
various shades and qualities of print
ing ink. When mixed, the crude ink
is ground in French buhrstone mill,
and. after grinding, delivered into a
machine, in which it is passed between
rollers a number of times, according to
the quality of ink required. To obtain
the lampblack used in the manufacture
of printing ink, portion of the re-
covered oil is used; and thus what was
formerly wasted is converted into the
medium which enters so largely into
the diffusion of knowledge. chambers

mistress could not divine what the
little fellow was attempting to initiate;
as he improved we at once took the

constantly interpolating that call into
his own beautiful song. A sad illus
