Pure Oxygen.

A number Of processes for the man
ufacture of pure oxygen from air
have appeared recently, all following
IN general way the suggestions of
the well known ''Brin" process. Herr
G. Kassner, in The Chemiker lei
tung, claims a superiority for salt
of calcium, the calcium plumbate,
Cas- PhO4, his process being briefly
as follows; The plumbate in spongy
porous pieces is exposed to the action
of moist furnace gases which have
previously been well washed. Car
bonic acid is absorbed by the calcium
salt with decomposition, forming cal
cium carbonate and free peroxide of
lead.
This decomposition is unaccompa-
MED by change of form. The result
ing mass is transferred to a strong
retort heated to redness, Oxygen is
disengaged and the evolution facili-
tated by a stream of superheated
steam. Finally carbonic acid is given
off, and in the last stages this is pure.
In the intermediate stage the gases
are passed over calcium plumbate
and the carbonic acid there absorbed,
leaving the oxygen pure.-Science.

Every patriotic citizen should give his
personal effort and influence to increase
the circulation of his home paper which
teaches the American policy of Protec-

in every way possible. After the home
paper is taken care of, why not sub

A Run on a Grocery.

There was run" up at the little
town of Hamilton, Wash, that ought
to find its way into literature devot-
ed to queer things.
Now, the ordinary run" is gener-
orally confined to banks and is asso-
siated with a long line of frantic peo-
pie and bank president with pallid
features, agitated nerves and forced
smile.
The run" in question was on
grocery store belonging to the Wash
hgton Red Cedar Single company.
A run" on a grocery store is about
me funniest thing-for the proprie
sor-that can happen.
The filler of the mill on the morn
ing of the run" to use a local
phrase, jumped his yob" and want
ed his cash before pay day, contrary
b the rules and regulations made
and provided.
The mill owners, making up their
minds to discourage this habit of
their men leaving them in a lurch,
refused to pay the disconsolate filer
until pay day.
The filer thereupon filed an attach
ment on shingles of the company,
and this caused the run" Without
boxing into the situation local cred
ttors and millhands commenced q
run" on the company's grocery
tore, with the object of taking out
their wages and debts in lard, dried
apples, sirup, tobacco, chowchow,
bacon and other necessaries of life.
The clerk, who had been doing
b hind the counter, jumped four feet
pa the air when the door opened and
half dozen brawny, wild eyed shin
gle weavers appeared. Bringing up
HE rear was a crowd of laborers all
damoring for groceries.
Soon it became apparent that the
clerk could not tie up the packages
FAST enough, and he told the crowd
b help themselves while he checked
up the goods.
When Manager Bordman returned
In the evening from the woods,
whittier he had gone after supply
of logs. the clerk was lying exhaust
ed across an empty pickle barrel,
and the store had the appearance of
the last act of a cyclone.
When the clerk recovered, he in
formed Bordman of the run, and
Bordman laughed long and loud
While he was surveying the wreck
In came a drummer for a Seattle
grocery house and mildly inquired if
anything was wanted Bordman
looked queerly at the drummer,
laughed and pointed to the empty
shelves.
The drummer knew his business
and that night he carried the largest
order of the month to Seattle. Be
fore morning Bordman had dis
charged all liens, and the mill was
started up as usual. The Puget Scum,

IN GENERAL.
The Door to Our House.

There were idle thoughts came in at the door,
And warmed the r little toes,
And did more mischief about the house
Than any one living knows.
They scratched the tables and broke the chairs
And soiled the floor and wall;
For a motto was written above the door
There's welcome here for ALL"
When the master saw the mischief done,
He closed it with hope and fear,
And he wrote above IT, d" Let none
Save good thoughts enter here
And the good little thoughts came trooping IN
When he drove the Others OUT
They cleaned the walls and they swept the moor
And sang as they moved about.
And last OF all an angel came
Win lsttIl 41i1lS ttcs.
And above the door he wrote, " Here
Love has found dwelling place"

Go up and down the garden walk
with lightly tripping toes

And in gentle tone
Called me to aid him in his task,
For he was all alone.

Were skeins of silken thread,
Tangled and twisted in his haste,
And thus my neghbor said;
ooh, please bend down the branches,
am so short, you know;
Fast as touch their little tips
out of my reach they go.
g. If you will hold the branches
For me little bit,
Then can tie these threads around
Each leaf and fasten it,"
But why, my little neighbor,
Must you the leaves tie fast?"
Then came culver to his lips
His eyes we're downward cast.
Because" he said, they're saying
That when the leaves shall fall

Survival Of the Jews.

The story is familiar that once Fred
erick the Great, before a company of
skeptics, asked General Ziethen, we'll
known for his faith and loyalty, to give
him short and conclusive argurSn
to prove Christianity, and w.
was, " May it please your z
Jews" The whole lada

that the Jewish M
tain their national exH
latter days. Their eiY1ies L.
succeed in destroying them, nor
friends in so favoring them that
should be amalgamated with othS
nationalites. Nor should they be abN(
sorbed by Christian churches so as to
cease to exist as separate community.
How remarkably these conditions have
been complied with everybody knows.
All the contemporaries of the Jews of
our Lords time have disappeared, but
the covenant people, though hated,
scattered and prosecuted as no other
people ever were, and that through all
the centuries, still remain, bearing all
their well-known mental and physical
characteristics. Nothing will explain
this fact, which stands alone in all hu-
man history, but the record contained
in Scripture. The survival of the Jews
is due, not to their toughness," as
some say, but to the providence of God

BICYCLES In Italy.

Judging from the vast number OF
swift running machines to be seen on Its
streets, Florence bids fair to merge the
time honored "City.o of Flowers" in the
less romantic but equally well merited
title Getty of Wheels" Tothe bicyclist
the advantages of such city are mani
fold, and although barely three years
ago the novel vehicle excited commo-
ton in the streets today Florence may
be called the bicycle-city of the CONT
nent.
Many of the bicyclists are young sprtgs
of Florentine nobility, many are bust
ness men who feel the need of much e2-
ercise in little time, but far, far more
than both of these classes together are
shopboys, who spend every spare franc
and most-of their spare moments In BIZ
cycling. One can but rejoice at their
fad, for truly the way of the shopboy Is
hard and his pleasures few. In Italy
such life means long hours Of work and
very meager pay, which is mostly spent
on dress, for who wants shabby, un-
tidy clerk? Oh, that some philanthropic
soul would bequeath q hundred or so BIZ
cycles for the use of Florentine shop
boys! It would be slight improvement
on the legacy for the maintenance Of
stray and homeless felines, which was
the result of an English womans obser.

Mrs. peary,s Sewing 1rachine.

In the good ship Falcon, which has
sailed away to carry band Of intrepid
voyagers up into the frozen regions, was
noticed as part of its cargo sewing
machine. Mrs. Peary has told of the
prize which needle proved to the Eski-
mo women, and how on her previous
voyage one of them unprovided with
such treasure came and asked for one
of them, offering her child in exchange.
The Eskimo wears her bone needle In a
case hung from her neck, and the mar
yelous steel ones which "this woman
from the SOUTH" as they call Mrs. Peary,
brought up were almost too precious to
be carried in any way, but new cases
-were made, the cords strengthened, and
these, too, were worn scapula fashion
against the skin.
What the sharp eyed little creatures
will say to the sewing machine when
they see it reeling off the seams of the
skins, which they so laboriously accom-.
phsh, will be interesting to hear about.-
