Chocolate" said New York confec-
toner, sis made from beans that grow in
pods on the cacao tree. These trees are
numerous in the West Indies, and it is
from there we get our supplies. The beans
are brought hither in the pod, and put
through a regular manufacturing process
TO produce the chocolate cakes that we
use. The first operation is the breaking
of the husks and separating them from the
kernels by blast of air. Then the beans
are ground with sugar by revolving granite
grindstones. The stones are heated, and
the oil contained in the bean makes the
mass adhere and become thick paste.
The pulp is now partly dried and the air
bubbles are squeezed out in press, and it
is transferred to the cooling tables Here
it is beaten and worked by hand to pro-
duce an even texture and fine grain.
Then it is placed in moulds, blast of
cold air is turned on, and in few mo-
ments the beautiful glossy tablets are fin
ished.
The British government has recently
directed that cholocate be served two or
three times a week in the army and navy.

Coal in Mexico.

Mexico, so rich in the precious metals
and other valuable minerals, has long been
deficient in fuel supply fit for manufac-
turing and metal working on large scale
having been limited TO wood and charcoal
Now mineral coal has been discovered in
tie State of Coahuila west of the SabinaS
river and on the line of the International
railway, which will be completed to the
coal fields in November. The Mexico
Two Republics, commenting on the fact,
says:

manufacturing and smelling industries of
Mexico have had 10 contend with has here

Exquisite Appearance OF the Famous
Place of Worship at Jerusalem.
The mosque Of Omar is beautiful; its
walls are adorned with marbles of delicate
colors, and the dome is rooted with tiles of
a brilliant blue, and some green and vel
low. The effect from the Mount of Olives
is of a Turquoise dome roofing walls of
pearl. says writer in the Culver. 1t

expresses around; steps lead down to other
courts, once the Court of the Gentiles, the
Court of the Great BraZen Lavar, ETC., and
olives, and grass of emerald green, and
abundant wild flowers cover the naked
ness where Solomon's offerings had en-
riched the entrance ground between the
golden gate and the eastern walls of the
temple itself.
Inside the mosque is exquisite. A circle
of marble pillars encloses the veritable
rough rock top of Mount Moriah and sup
ports the inner part of the dome, which is
rich in mosaic worthy to be compared with
that in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome
Portals and partitions, inlaid with tor
quoise shell, mother of pearl, and ivory,
divide the little side chapels from the cen
trail passageway between them and the
sacred rock, the scene of Abraham's
awful obedience and of the sacrifices which
interpreted to men and made them par
takers of the one great sacrifice of the
Son of God. We saw the opening
cut in the rock for the escape of the sacri-
feed blood, and, descending into the exca-
walton below, we found similar opening
communicating with duct that discharged
into a cesspool by the brook Kedron. We
crossed the outer southern court. and,
passing the fountain supplied by the water
as its grander predecessor on the backs of
brazen oxen, we descended beneath the
present mosque, Ell Aksar, close to the
mosque of Omar, into the very same gal

but the ceiling is still so high above that
we needed to be reminded that the ground
level is far down under the rubble. The
pillars in single, solid blocks, the round
keystone in the roof, and the lintels of long
single stones are witnesses of the glory
which has departed. Leaving this gallery
we climbed the city walls by the golden
gate and, walking south at the angle of the
walls, we descended underground into the
stables of Solomon. That they may have
been utilized by him, and certainly were
by the crusaders, the halter rings declare;
but it seems that the original intention was

THE BATTLE OF ossAwAroMrE.
The Struggle which Ushered John Brown
Into History.

The Struggle which Ushered John Brown
Into History.
Thirty-one years ago Kansas was not the
peaceful prohibition State of to-day. The
thirtieth day of August, 1856, saw the
commonwealth in a state of open warfare,
1t having been so declared by the Governor
five days before. John Brown was in
camp at Ossawatomie. Capt. Cline and
DR.. photograph, abolitionists, were with
him. The pro-slavery men were march.
ing on the town, four hundred strong.
Brown had forty-one men. The border
ruffians were commanded by Gen. John V.
Reid, and led by the fighting preacher,
Martin White, the fercest pro-slavery man
in Kansas. The anti-slavery men were
outnumbered badly, and none knew better
than they that the border ruffians were not
towards; but they chose John Brown
leader, and determined not to surrender.
OF the forty one men only seventeen were
of Browns band, but the others knew the
old bull dog, and he was chosen leader.
Old John Brown, 1.-The hero" the fool, :"
1.-THE traitor" 1.-The martyr" 1.-THE lunatic,"
first became, known to fame on this day.
The anti-slavery men did not know how
near their opponents were and were scat
tered. Frederick Brown, John Browns
son, was killed in the fields, shot down. 1t
is said, by Rev. Martin White Then the
forty men rallied and drew up along the
Marias des Cygnes river. Here the four
hundred attacked them, and the battle of
Ossawatomie was fought. Brown battled
like lion, and his men fought well, but
forty could not Withstand four hundred.
They broke and fled to the brush. Five
lr.llal n,
sawatomie was burned.
The news spread like wild-fre from
Maine TO California, and Ossawatomie
Brown stepped into history. OF the five
men killed two, Frederick Brown and
William Garrison, fell at the hands of
Martin White.
The battle" of Ossawatomie, viewed
from purely military standpoint, scarcely
amounted to a skirmish, but it had the eff
feet of arousing the country, of fastening
settlement of the Kansas question, of
forcing the question of slavery on the ma
ton.
The men who were, in truth, the lead
ere in the battle were Martin White and
John Brown, although Gen. Reid was
with one force and Capt. Cline with the
other. Martin White was elected to the
LeCompton Legislature as "a reward for his
part in the affray. He served his term
and started home across the prairie. But
he never reached his destination. Search
was made for him, and his body was
found in tangle of prairie grass. A small
round hole in his forehead, and his own
empty weapon by his side, told but too
plainly that he died the death of suicide
Ossawatomie Brown was the name John
Brown went by after the date of this bat
tie. The younger generation know only
John Brown, thanks to John Browns
body" but the older generation treasure
the name of Ossawatomie, won in battle
thirty one years ago.

Why Mummies Keep.

There might be said to be no showers
ever in Egypt. The river Nile gives all
the moisture the fields have, with its an
nual inundation, but this covers only the
plains; the hillsides are dry always. Hence
it results that, when the bodies of the dead
were properly embalmed, and deposited in
one of those dry receptacles of the rocks
beneath the unchanging sands, they might
be considered well-nigh imperishable. 1t
need give no surprise whatsoever to us that
the bodies of veritable men and women,
who lived 4, 900 years ago, are still on the
earth, unchanged in lineament or feature.
Not unlikely, there are countless thousands
Of those who saw Joseph on his throne in
Egypt now lying undisturbed in their syca-
more collins, their hands on their breast,
their eyes closed, their funeral garlands
still twined.

A Ghostly Legend.

A beautiful legend of Durham Cathedral
is thus related by Reginald of Durham:
"A monk of Durham, keeping nightly
vigil in the minister, sat down in the stalls
and thought. He raised his eyes; he be-
held in the misty distance three forms
descend, and with slow step come from
the east toward the choir steps; each had a
bishops habit, each was comely, venerable
and glorious to behold and, as they
paused, they sang Alleluia in the verse,
with the sweetest strains OF melody. Then,
toward the south, where the great crucifix
stands, was heard choir of many voices
singing in their several parts of the prose,
and it seemed as though clerks in their
ministries were serving biShOp-celebrant,
for there the clear shining of the tapers
was brightest, and thence the rich, deli
cious perfume of the incense breathed
around. Then the three bishops sang
their part, and the choir made answer with
chanting wondrous sweet, while one cele-
brated as becomes bishop. Then all was
done; once more the solemn procession
passed on its way, and disappeared like
faint images behind the altar; and they say
that they who were at that service lie
asleep, revered, in that ancient church.

THE sAsY.s DILEMMA.

In the dusk of the fading day

So dependent on mother and mother-care,

"What would you do. dear, If Mamma were

The eyes met mine with q steadfast look,
That showed neither sadness nor fear,
The hps still smiled in q careless way,
A though my death were q Dew-fOund play;
Not q tear in eye or voice as he said,

But Grandma Is old and feeble, you know,
And not able to care for you;
You couldn't stay there" The face grew
One quick, scared look at my face he gave,
Then, still half defiant, he slowly said,

And she wouldn't want any more.

With culver of lip and chin, he said,

A Plea for the Little Ones,

Let us make the little ones happy.
Let their young years be full of Joy, for
age will bring them pain and sadness
enough. The child which smiles and
laughs, will be good man or woman.
The most hardened criminals are those
who, in their child days, knew no happy
hours and were sour and remorse OF
mien. What a bursting forth of purest
Joy, is the laugh of child. In it is the.
of the thrush, the lays of all the
myriad songsters of the field and wood.

music of nature, the only song which
human heart ever sings. Let US not
by word or act do aught to cause 8

A Dashfpg Belle.

The recently divorced Marchioness de

specimen of the Miss Tomboy sort of belle.
She had her hair cut short and curled; and
in jockey-cap and sporting costume she
was singularly attractive. Nor did she
appear to less advantage in ball dress.
In ball-rooms she went in for a sort of
tulle habiliment that resembles the CO.'S
tune of a dancer of the modest ballet.

AN UNDESIRABLE HABIT.
Promiscuous Correspondence of Young
Ladies With Men.

Promiscuous Correspondence of Young
Ladies With Men.
A habit very common with a number of
our thoughtless young ladies, who do a
great many things quietly which they
would not like to have known at home-a
habit deserving of the strongest condem-
nation-is that of promiscuous CORES
pondence with gentlemen, whether the
gentlemen be married or single The
young ladies who find pleasure in this
habit use their pens on any pretext that
turns up, and sometimes on no pretext at
all. We are not really sure that this does
not come less under the head of an unde-
sirable habit than sin; for there is an in
delicacy about it quite amounting to i'm
modesty, of which no girl who respects
herself or who desires the respects of 9TH
ers will be guilty.
These young letter-writers, however,
generally get titreward for their thought
lessness or their culpability in the end.
For if their correspondent is a man of
systematic habits, their letters are docketed
and ticketed, and his clerks have as much
of a laugh over them as they wish; and if
he is not a systematic man, then those let
tiers are at the mercy of any and every one
who chooses to waste time in reading them
And if their correspondent is a married
man, then his possession of their letters,
even of the most trivial kind, places
the writers at a disadvantage. Sooner
orslater, too, in that case, the letters fall
into the hands of his wife; his wife, who,
long after the brief correspondence has
been done with, usually remains mistress
of the situation, reads the folly or the
wickedness with clear eyes, and holds the
writer not only in contempt, but in her
power. No young girl can be sure that
her correspondent is not merely amusing
himself with her; and it is often the case
that her letters are unwelcome and nuis-
ance, and he does not check them and
does reply to them, not from interest in
her. but mere manly Chivalry. And when
the writer has recovered from her folly, or
forgotten about her idleness, there is the
letter, in all probability still extant in the
possession of somebody, she knows not
whom, ready TO rise, like an awful betray-
ing ghost, after she herself has possibly
undergone a change that will make her
face burn, branded with shame, should
the letter ever chance to confront her, or
perhaps even the memory of it. Her mo-
tive may have been all innocence at the
time, but it is left forever under doubt;
and in fact, except in the baldest business
affair, there can be no excuse. and there
fore no innocence, in the matter of young
girls writing letters to any man not her
personal relative or guardian; for about
most of these letters there is an unmaid-
enliness almost amounting to indecency,
and in the end her correspondent himself
never thinks other than lightly of her on
account of them.

A Barber Who Goes from House to House.

The travelling professionals have had a
novel addition to their numbers. The
newer addition is barber who carries his
necessary utensils in satchel, or, rather,
employs lad TODD so, and goes about
among offices, factories, fats and tenement
houses up town, scraping boards, cutting
and trimming hair, cultivating bangs and
encouraging incipient mustaches. He is a
graduated German barber and is, there
fore, bit of a surgeon also. He can pull
a tooth. apply bandages, cup, leech, re-
move warts and moles, and he sells lini-
ment on commission. His charges are
within the reach of all" and as every
babe he lays his eyes on is "the prettiest
he has seen in all his travels, mothers are
all interested in his business and give him
frequent tips. If he comes across a man
that shaves himself he will hone his razor
for whatever may be thought right. In
this way he picks up an honest penny or
two.

Two OF Seattle's Medicos own land
in the vicinity of the recent placer
discovery near Woodinville. Hearing
and believing the exaggerated reports
Of those discoveries, with visions OF
gold galore the NJ. DIS armed with
pick and pan went to the scene Of
action instanter and searched dill
gently for the precious.
Their visions were not realized, and
they returned TO the city, saddened
but still hopeful, and engaged an ex-
pert 10 go with them next day. On
arriving at the spot the expert asked,
Where is your water ?' TO which the
NJ. ID. g replied, About two or three
miles below here" "Well. how do
you propose TO carry on placer mining
without water?" said the expert.
They replied that they hadn't thought
OF that, but suggested that they could
dig well and put in a large pump.
Butt" said the expert, "a pump
large enough to run a sluice would dry
the we'll in very few minutes"
The Nj. DIS as usual, thought them
selves equal to the emergency, and
said they would have il arranged so
that the water would run from the
sluice-b box into the well again, 80 that
it could be used over and over. The
expert admitted that this feat OF
engineering might be accomplished,
but asked where the tailings and
slckens would get off.
This is a problem which they have
not yet solved. When they do, we
may expect some astonishing results.
