Even the Gods May Nod.

Residence in Boston does not of itself
argue the possession Of culture, as a re-
cent Chicago man proved to his own
intense satisfaction.
The major had much fun with the
conductor of the grip or cable car,
which he boarded at State street.
This car to Washington streetT he
asked meekly of the conductor. The
latter took his little dog whistle from
between his lips only long enough to re-
ply "Certl" and then placed the whistle
back there again The abruptness Of
this response to a civil inquiry encour-
aged the major to again test the con-
ductor's vocabulary, which he did
with the following result:
81 believe the fare is five centsF
Correct"
"May smoke on this seatp
"Sure."
81 believe State street parallels the
lake"
"Bet yer life"
"Does this car go near the Union
depotl"
"Nixey."
The conductor blew his whistle and
punched up his fares, all unconscious
of the sport the major was enjoying al
his expense. Boston Traveller.

White sawdust and shaviIps rre
turned TO account by N. Claimant u
Paris. for the production Of fine vegeta-
BILE charcoal, which is intended TO be
used for the removal Of unpleasant fia
vor in ordinary French wine, and as
tiItering medium, especially in distil-
leries. where it is said to be capable OF
iltering forty times its volume OF alco-
bol. whereas the vegetable charcoal OF
commerce will only filter very much
less and costs more each year. If not
already separate the sawdust of hard
and soft woods must be separated, be-
cause the former requires a heat OF 7OO
degs. centigrade, whereas 800 degs cen
tierade suffice for carbonizing the lat
ter.
Carbonization, which lasts about an
hour. is effected in fireclay, plumbago
or cast iron retorts of about 600 cubic
inches capacity. But previous to this
process the sawdust must be sifted,
first through a coarse screen to remove
splinters and extraneous matter and
then through fine sieve which only
permits passage of the actual wood
dust with the adherent calcareous mat
ter. The product of carbonization
must again be sifted to get rid this
calcareous matter which has become
detached during the process, when it
will, If the operation has been carefully
performed, resist the action of hydro
chloric acid Manufactures.

''Nice eggs, amt they?" said a man
at Wood River station, as he picked up
a sample of ''hen fruit" from pail that
fellow passenger carried. Eyes, +" re-
sponded the owner of the eggs, "they're
pretty good looking" "Blooded stock, "
he continued, ''but as only paid
twenty-five cents for them guess they
wouldn't hatch" why, how's that2'
said an ynorant city man who stood
near.
'Well, you see," replied the man
with the eggs, ''if these eggs were sold
for Matching they would fetch some
thing over a dollar bakers dozen, be-
ing of blooded stock, but the supply
being greater than the demand they
were sold for eating purposes Il the
regular market rate of twenty-five
cents. The farmer, though, to guard
against their use for setting has run a
fine needle through the butt end Of
each so as to just pierce the inner skin,
trick that does away effectually with
all hope of Matching it"
This little scheme of the guileless
farmer to keep up the price of Matching
eggs in season was new to the city man,
but his informant said it was a practice
as old as the hills. Providence Journal.
