Phosphorus Produced by Electricity.

Phosphorus Produced by Electricity.
 The large and increasing demand for phosphorus, not only for the manufacture of matches, but for it's subsidiary applica tions in the organic syntheses which form one branch of modern chemical industry and in the production Of many of the phos phor alloys that have recently come into vogue, has made the question of it's eco nomical production of much commercial importance, as well as of technical interest. In the method of manufacture at present generally employed, the chief cost lies less in the raw materials than in that of the plant and labor necessary for the protnc tion of phosphorus from them. Electricity has been introduced into this process with increased yield and decreased cost.
 The new process is quite simple, con sisting merely in feeding in the raw ma terials, passing the current between suit able electrodes, and collecting and condens ing the volatized phosphorus in the usual way. When it is remembered that for merly mineral phosphates had to be treat,,. with sulphuric acid, the liberated phos phoric acid separated from the calcium sulphate produced at the same time by fil tration, the solution of the former concen trated by evaporation, mixed with charcoal and heated stronglyin small retorts. before reaching the stage in which the mere ap plication of current how brings the raw material, the immense advantage of the new treatment will be seen.
 The most important feature involved is the application of heat in the very spot where it's usefulness is greatest, doing away at one stroke with the clumsy prac tice of external firing at present employed in this and many kindred industries New York Telegram

Boston Herald of Thursday: We find from a number of correspondents who are writing to us that great deal of com plaint exists among those keeping horses at the advance that has taken place in the price of oats, in spite of the remark able harvest that we have had. The-sta- ble keepers hereabouts have in many in- stances raised by $1 a week the price of keeping horses, and teamsters who are compelled to buy oats on their own ac- count complain bitterly that the advance in duty from ten to fifteen cents per bush- el has had the effect not only of adding fully that amount to the price, but that it has tended to discourage the shipment of Canadian oats to this market. This is only one, however, of a number of the tariff troubles which bear upon the team sters with much more severity than upon the owners of horses kept for pleasure purposes.
 Boston Herald, Friday: We beg to be permitted to withdraw the statements in the article on the price of oats which ap- peared in our columns yesterday. We were misinformed in the matter. We of- fer our apologies to our readers. The price is lower by fifteen or sixteen cents per bushel than it was at the correspond ing date last year. We concede this with out reserve, and accept the correction in all its conaanueucas

CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG AS SHE
 IS TO-DAY.

Any bright afternoon g woman past
 middle age, but still handsome end look. ing ten years younger than she really Is,
 can be seen walking or driving up Fifth avenue. Twenty-Five years ago Clara
 Louise Kellogg was America's most pop
 ular prima donna. Her day of lyric glory
 has passed, and she lives in the memory
 of a happy and successful past. With
 one or two exceptions she is the only
 great prima donna who has retired with a
 fortune sufficient to enable her to round
 out her remaining years in comfort. Some
 time since she married Carl Strakosch,
 much her junior in years. But she will always be known as Kellogg, the Ameri- can prima donna. If any one has the good fortune to be invited to her elegant home on East Seventeenth street he will see many curios, articles of vertu, silver ware and diamonds, nearly all of which were presented to the prima donna by her friends and admirers both in this country and Europe. When she was in Europe a noted sculptor did her hand and arm In Parian marble and presented it to her.
 One would think the sculptor had certain ly idealized the singers hand, because 1t is so small and faultlessly beautiful. A glance at the real hands of the songstress would instantly prove the realism of the Florentine artist. Next to her voice Kel- logg is proud of her, beautiful lny-white hand. Her voice has no longer the sweet freshness of mocking bird,. but her hands are still youthful and beautiful. Look at the cabinet in the corner of her room, containing rich collection of pres ents received in Europe. Prince So-and- so sent her the heavy silver set, the CzaI and Czarina gave her that solid gold plate, and her English friends filed two shelves of the cabinet with silverware and jewel ". There are some books which her ad- mirer, Longfellow, the poet, sent with his compliments. There are antique scimi. ters from Moroco, swords from Toledo and Damascus, and curious chairs, which go back to the period of Hamlet, Prince %OA AIOAALSsA Nf VI eSV AO<eOu " VAAV POAAO0 All which Shakespeare makes him flourish in drama history. One queer dagger, long and murderous looking, the prima donna will tell you was given to her by south erner. The dagger was once owned by a noted overseer, who had charge of nearly thousand slaves. He carried the dag ger always on his person, and slept with 1t under the head of his bed. To look at it makes the highly strung singer al- ways shudder. In one corner some music sheets are carefully kept. Gen. w. T. Sherman, who greatly admired her sing ing, bought the songs and presented them to her on the various occasions that he called socially on the Kellogg family. Then, after viewing all these things, the visitor should look at the dark, thick hair of the prima donna. A gray strand peeps out now and then, but they do not have any cruel crows feet to match them. Kellogg Is splendid example of singer who has lived temperately and is going slowly.-N. ?.

The nomenclature of some New Eng land towns is peculiar. Tn Connecticut it was an old custom to apply the name ''streetn to a collection of houses that was not large enough to be called will lage and that was compressed into the vicinity of single road. On the east side of the Connecticut river are Enfield street, East Hartford street, Ellington street, and half a dozen other small and venerable settlements, to whose geograph- fcal names the old inhabitants insist on appending the city affix, which sounds so queerly to the ears of strangers. Per haps the most beautiful of these ancient settlements is East Hartford, whose broad street is shaded by double rows of elms, set out at the time of the revolutionary war, and connected with many tradition of the Hessian soldiers who were located as prisoners in that quiet locality, and who, after the first fight caused by their presence had ceased, were found by the American housewives to be most helpful in all "chores'' about the house and most willing to work. Not few of the Hes sians married there, settled down, and lived and died in the shadow of those beautiful e,ms.

Gotnr to Church. .n nlexico.

One class of Mexican buildings there Is whereof, save only at night, the doorsnever are ciosed-the churches From dawn un-- til darkness comes itgaiu tht. church doors stand open, and whoever will may enter to seek solacc in prayer Though less than in the period preceding the passage of the laws of reform-which swept away at n single blow the praStly rule that under mined the civil power-the church is an active part of Mexican daily life. Going tc church is not an office fixed for small part of a single day in the week and cele- brated only i'll garments of price. every day and all day long there Is constant flow and ebb of humanity through the friendly open doors to and from the friend ly shelter from the sorrows of the world.
 In the very early morning working peo ple-cargadores anda aguatlorcs and such like humble folk surrender Il few min. utes of their working time hat they may begin their day with prayer A little later come the house servants on their way home from market, bringing their market bas kets with them, and usually having in their wake little dog, whose decorous gravity suggests the possibility that in these early devotions he also has share. At o'clock the mass Is celebrated. when the women of the upper classes-tle men | the churches; and thereafter, being clad in black and wearing lace mantillas, add greatly to the picturesqueness of the streets as they go homeward $<
 Then come the vendors of milk and vege- tables and poultry and wood and charcoal and other household supplies-country people who wish to make their sacrifice of prayer before daring forth from the city, and who, if they have had luck in their small cheatings, may be disposed also to thanksgiving Even on Sunday-the only day that he would be sure of finding the doors open-a charcoal seller would not be encouraged to hitch his donkey to a lamp post in front of q fashionable church in New York, and thereafter to enter the church and say his prayers Quite the contrary Harper's Weekly.

One morning last week Hon. w. E. Simonds, the commissioner of patents, thinking that he would like to see for himself what was going on in his bureau, started on the ssgrand rounds,' says the Washington Star. His experience was somewhat peculiar. Having but recently entered upon the duties of his office many of the employees, even though high in position, do not know him. On his visit to the room occupied by the officials high est in position next to himself, he ad- dressed gentleman, known better by his attention to work than on the cultiva-. tion of the amenities of life, somewhat as follows:
 "You are comfortably located here"
 Reply" Humph!" (Grunt.)

 In neighboring room the commis- sioner walked in and inquired by name for the principal examiner. The assist ant in charge answered: .sHe is not in now. I think he has gone down stairs to get his pay.'' Then, noticing that the chiefs overcoat and hat were not in the room, said: No, he is out of the build- ing"

NIildred's Prayers.

Little Mildred, sweet, golden haired "tot" of six, had been taught to say, Thank God for good breakfast" or din ner or supper, as the case might be, after meal.
 The other morning her parents, for good and sufficient reasons, restricted her to oat- meal for breakfast. When she had finished she clasped her little hands and began. Thank God for'- -s.
 Then the raspberries and the ham and eggs and various other tappetizing things that she had not been allowed to partake of attracted her attention. She paused for a moment, and then letting her hands fall to her side while n look of deep dejection overshadowed her pretty face, she said:
 'Oh, God, I'se only had oatmeal fol breakfast this morning Amen"
 Her mother, like most good and tievout mothers. has. taught her that If she wants anything and is good girl and prays for it she will be sure to get it. The other night she overheard little Mildred praying earnestly in her childish, way for veloci pede. ..
 "'Cause you know, God added the child. in conclusion. "Pse been good girl, and mamma told inc that if l was Il good girl and asked you for anything yon would let me have it. Amen"
 Now the mother is much perplexed be cause she doesn't want Mildred to have a velocipede and at the same time she doesn't want to shake her childish faith in the efficacy of prayer.
 l think that it will end in Mildred's get ting the velocipede. New York Herald A Newspaper Man Sells Langtry a Mine.
 There are incidents of l4angtry's visits to California which are of interest and which have never been published. It has been said, and with truth, no doubt, that she did many shrewd things ill the way of ad yertising. At one time she rented g house somewhere out in the Mission and tried t9 make everybody believe she intended to remain there until gathere to her fathers. when she would be laid away i'll all elabor, ate vault in Laurel Hill cemetery, or some other city of the dead But it,was all q myth.

She dared not move a muscle He said in a low voice: "Is it a bargain for So00S I'll consider that it is if you don't shake your head" The statue remained still, and when the Lilly came ont after ward she was so taken with the orig -ality of the scheme that she paid the money over at once.-Cor.

PAPERED HER ROOM WITH FEN.
 VELOPES. 4ae=@ #

'
 "Our house is all topsy turvey. The paper-hangers are working in every room but one," said a Prospect avenue girl last night.
 "And why one exception ?" asked the young man whose feet were dangling from the veranda rail and who assumes to ask questions on all subjects. "Why don't you make. a--clean sweep of it and paper the whole house?"
 sPapered the other room myself!"
 $"You did ?" cried four voices at once.
 "Yes, and every one of you furnished part of the material. Came along and I'll show you"
 There was the room, and sure enough it was oddly decorated. The four walls were papered with envelopes addressed in all manner of hands, and with postmarks from New York to San Francisco.
 For two years this maiden, so original, saved all the envelopes which brought her letters, and when she had enough she took pot of paste and covered her walls.
 The letters were pasted on in the order of their coming, and made quite serial story. They are of all shades and sizes and of several tints, and one can easily trace the regular mail from her constant correspondent, while here and there is one which has some special significance.
 One in black border is from a dear col lege chum whose mother had just died, and not far away is one which brought the tidings of 8 happy marriage of an- other chum In distant Italy.

 We firmly believe that advertising pays. Here in this town it would be dead loss to advertise in our contemporary, because he would have to use shinglenails in place of type to set it up, and because no one but his uncle and his wife and himself read his alleged newspaper, and they are too poor to buy anything. But advertis- ing in The Kicker is bound to pay. We do, our best to make 1t pay. When . ten- derfoot comes here from the east we steer him into such establishments as advertise with us, and 8 great many of them have left their poodle here through our efforts. We accept all sorts of advertising from the Louisiana lottery to the latest gospel hymn book, and we never deviate from our schedule rate.
 There are several establishments in town not represented in our advertising columns. We want them to come in. We don't say we shall look up their re- spective records and communicate with sheriffs here and there if they don't, but we feel that advertising will pay them a profit, and they won't feel half as nervous when the stage comes in with stranger who looks as If he was in the detective business.

the votes from that county, saying that
