A NEW PREsERvATIvE.

Provisions Treated 10y a Novel sulphur
Fumigatinw Process.
A remarkable discovery hns lately
been made which promises TO revoln.
tionize the provision business. AT the
present time 1t is impossible TO ship
eggs TO Southern points. milk TO any
place more than two days journey dis
lance. and some OF the most delicious
game must be eaten In ffe vicinity
where II is killed. The most skillful
refrigerator produced serves only to
preserve meat and vegetables for
brief period. and leaves them when
taken from the freezing chambers ir
such a condition that they must be
cooked at once or spoiled. II time
shall come when the farmer may send
his eggs or milk or other produce TO
Brazil or the antipodes. and Chesa-
peake reed birds sen: TO London and
Paris, the value OF such commodities
will be tremendously enhanced. and
every corner of the world will be bene-
hted by the change.
A Chicago man claims that he has
found preparation which will do just
this for the producer of foods. Hav-
Ing In mind the indefinite preservation
of human bodies in the shape of num-
mics. he has called his production the
Egyptian Food Preservatiye.
This Is "a patented article and con-
sists OF powder made up of FIVE or six
ingredients, among which are sulphur
and cinnamon. This powder when
ignited. smolders slowly and gives out
a dense, heavy smoke that sinks al
once to the bottom OF the room. The
process Of applying 1t to any subject Is
simple. u II be steak. or "A gallon OF
oysters. or "A roast, or any other sub
stance whatever. it is placed In tho

powder is placed upon a perforated
shelf in the under part OF the box and
ignised. The box is then closed and
not opened until the powder is burned
out. This may take half an hour. and
IL only ceases 10 smolder when the
oxygen contained in the box has been
exhausted.
After that the subject of the process
is found to be unimpaired in appear

manently sound and wholesome. In
the case Of meat and vegetables, II does
not matter whether they have been

element-that Is. II placed under hen

that had been thus treated and placed
under hen were left with her for
twenty-onc days. after which they were
taken away and cooked and found To be
entirely wholesome. Chicago Herald.

A CHAPTER OF JEWS.



suEg.stioa.
Miss Potter's chapter on the Jews OF
East London strikes a wholly different
note. 1t tells us OF class well capa-
BILE OF making its way In the world
and of adapting itself TO the con-
ditions under which industrial success
stu- be attained. The Jews OF East
London form distinct community
numbering from 10000 to 1000, o.
whom $4,000 were born abroad, while
OF the remainder at least one half are
OF foreign parentage.
The jews are picked race. Per.
secution has weeded out the inapt aud
incompetent. and has sharpened the
wits OF the rest into what Miss Potter
terms an instrument for graspiag rs

the Jewish people has been ful.

shalt drive out nations mightier than

abiding people; they keep the peace;
they pay their debts. they abide by their

the obligations which they acknow!.

The struggle for existence and welfare

marks the limit Of their interests and
the conduct which eonduces TO success

We have the picture OF the race oi

these miniature cups with view to

accident that drove the innovation out

ST. NICHOLAS.

Since 1873, when, under the editorial management
of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge. the publication of 81.
Nicholas for Young Folks was begun, it has lei
all magazines for boys and girls. Nothing like it
was known before and to day, the Chicago inter-
Ocean recently said "it is the model and ideal
juvenile magazine of the world. Through its
pages the greatest writers of time speaking
to the youth of America and England, and the best
artists and engravers are traing the eyes of the
boys and girls to appreciate the highest in art.
Nobody knows how many readers 81 NfcAof0S has.
In the third largest public library in America-that
in Indianapolis-more than 5000 people read each

and so they announce that with the beginning OF
the seventeenth volume November, 1897 81.

This enlargement is absolutely required to make
room for the rich store of material which has

During the coming year there are to be four inn

THE DANGER IN ELECTRIC
LIGHTS.

The use of electric lights, both are
and incandescent, is becoming so com
mon that too much pains cannot be
taken to inform the public as to the
dangers attending them. 1t would be
idle to deny that there sno danger CON
nected with them. Danger attends the
use of every form Of fire, and even the
humble tallow candle must be guarded
from starting a confagration. The
incandescent electric light, properly
treated, is the safest Of all modern
forms of lighting, but, as was shown,
by the fire at Heller's store on Tues
day, it has restrictions that must be
respected. Under ordinary circum-
stances, no fire can be communicated
directly by the incandescent light. 1t
is inclosed in a Theoretically sealed
globe and if the globe is broken the
light is instantly extinguished. In this
respect, therefore, it is almost perfectly
safe.
There is danger, however, in the
wires that carry the electric current to
the lamp. These are insulated, or
wrapped with covering which CON
fines the electricity to the wires and
makes it travel in its proper path, but
if the insulation is rubbed off or broken,
or if it becomes water soaked, the
electricity has chance to escape and
great trouble may follow.
Inspector McDevitt, who made an
examination after the fire at Heller's
says that man who had been arrang-
ing goods in the window had stuck a
pin into the electric light wire. 1t was
convenient place for him to hang a
piece of lace or embroidery and he
stuck the pin there to fasten it, just as
he would stick it into any other cord.
But that one little pin did all the mis-
chief. 1t broke the connection, estab-
lished what the electricians call a
short circuit" and allowed the cur
rent to escape and set fire to the in
fammable goods in the window.
That man will not be likely to stick
any more pins into electric wires, but
this is written in the hope that it may
give some information to others who
may be tempted to do the same thing
as unthinkingly as he did. The one
safe rule about electric wires of all
kinds is to let them alone. Nobody
who is not employed to work about
them has any business to touch them.

James G. WINS, farmer of Key

horse valued at $500. He says that
within twenty years he has lost four

three mules by death and all his stock
and barns by fire.
Annie Gerringer and Bella Mead,
two little Wrightsville school girls, got
into a childish quarrel while returning
home, and the former pushed the lat
ter, who fell down, running slate
pencil, which she carried, into her eye.
The point of the pencil broke off, and
remained in the eye.
A queer decision by justice of the
peace of this State is reported. John
Wolf put stuffed wolf at the door to
represent his name. A dog destroyed
the sign, and the justice holds that as
the stuffed wolf represented John
Wolf, the dog is guilty of biting the
man, and his owner must pay $25
damages.
Atlantic City proposes to raise $4,000
or $4,000 by subscription for distribu-
ting 100000 pamphlets and otherwise
advertising the place. The recent
storms there have caused quite an I'M
easiness among property owners near
the beach front, and they fear the win
ter business may be injured in eonse-
quence.
A romantic marriage took place at
the Presbyterian Church, at Freehold,
on Wednesday, when Miss Amelia
Taylor aged II, was married to Joseph
N. Bedle, Is years old. None Of the
brides family knew of the wedding
until a dispatch was received from
New York, announcing the fact to the
brides mother. Young Bedle is a
nephew of Ex-Governor Bedle.
A. B. Hopkins, of Hopkins Corner,
Sussex county, shot Northern or snow
owl in his cornfeld on Saturday last.
1t was frightened out from a shock of
corn and was hit ea the wing when
flying away. 1t measured within a
triae of five feet from tip to tip Of
wings. Its pl image was nearly white
and very thick and fine. The feathers
on its legs and feet had the appearance
Of long white fur.
John Van SICKLE, of Chester, Morris
county, is one hundred and eight years
old, without question. His age is

is as active as a man Of half his years,
and supports himself by working on Il

served old man, and has not been sick
for half a century.
