at Aileppey about 1000 pounds weight

Of which was converted into coins for
this purpose. After presenting an elephant
and offerings TO the shrine. the Maharajah
entered the building prepared for the occa-
sion, and having completed the preliminary
ceremonies, mounted one Of the scales. The
sword and shield were LAID in his lap; In the
other side OF the scale gold coins struck for
the occasion. were placed by the first and
second Princes. till 1t touched the ground
and the Maharajah rose In the air, the priest
meanwhile chanting Vedic hymns. Volleys
were fired, the baud played aud the troops
presented arms. The Maharajah worshiped
at the shrine and then went to the palace.
Subsequently the Dewan and other otiiciais

WHY A LOBSTER TURNS RED.
The Heat of Boiling Water Oxidizes the
Iron in Its She'll.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in almost
everything in nature. there is a certain per-
centage of iron. Upon boiling, the lobster is
oxidized. The effect is largely due also to
the percentage of muriatie acid which ex-
lists naturally in the shell. The chemical
change which takes place here Is almost
similar TO that which occurs in the burning
of brick. In boiling a lobster its coat
ceases to be living substance, and to a
certain extent it takes new character. 1t
is as brick would be after burning. The
effect can also be produced by the sun,
according to the Gloucester Times, but
necessarily not so rapidly, as the
heat of that luminary, although more in
tense. is not concentrated sufficiently to
produce the result. The sun also exercises
a bleaching influence, which consumes the
oxide almost as fast as il is formed, leaving
the shell white or nearly pure lime

ing the market, the demand keeps
lar ahead OF the supply aud has never
yet hecn fully met. All the world is
taking to canned goods, and very
soon the export trade will exceed our
tobacco exports at better Profits, if is
not already in excess OF tobacco.
The profits on canned goods, as we
understand, ranges from two 10 three
and half cents per can. But sup
pose, for safe estimate, we put ii at
one half cent per can. This will in.
sure profit of $75 per day. The fac
tsries will run some nine months in
the year; but suppose it runs only 100
days - less than six months-the
profits will be $l1, 1850. Will that
pay?
Again, this is NO experiment. All
OF the old, well-managed companies
have grown rich at the business, and
every little village where canning
factory has been established has out
stripped its neighborsi, putting Oh
new life and city airs. To be sure,

Druggists Who Substitute,

Beware of the druggist or general
dealer who, when asked for Lemon
Chill Tonic, has something 'just as
good" or '.just like it," We say the
person who babitually does this is not
the one to trust with your prescrip.
tions; he would be apt to substitute,
if he hadn't what the prescription
called for would put in something
'just as good" There are many
tonics on the market, but none claim
to be better. Why then take the risk?
The persons whose names are attached
can tell you that Lemon Chill Tonic
does everything we claim for it.
