OLD TIN CANS.
From Their Utilization an Industry
Has sprung Up.

In the suburbs Of great cities an in
dustry has sprung up, having for its
object the utilization of old tin cans. In
consequence these formerly despised aud
useless cans have acquired sufficient
commercial value 20 rescue them from
back lot, dumping ground and garbage
scows.
Under the present system OF street
cleaning, the refuse of New York City is
loaded on scows from wharves located at
convenient intervals along the river
front, and then taken 10 sea and thrown
overheard. These wharves have double
decks, the upper pro ojecting sufficiently 10
allow the contents OF a cart TO fall upon
the middle OF the scow, aud be distributed
by the trimmers, who keep the vessel on
an even keel.
The trlmmers select everything OF
value with tie greatest care, rags, fat,
bone, metal, paper stock, ETC., being
stored on the lower deck of the wharf.
The silver and jewelry form no small
part OF the contractors profit, and the
total value of a scow-load is estimated at
an average of 5000.
The space between the wharf platforms
is often closed in with odds and ends,
and the interior converted into a misera-
BILE habitation 10y the trimmers, men and
women who thus herd together, their
supplies being drawn from the dump.
The dumping wharves are the princi-
pal source of supply for the old tin can
industry, and wagon load of cans can
be bought at such places for four or five
dollars.
The furnace is an old soap boiler, into
which few sticks are thrown; the bowl
is then filed with cans, and a quart of
Kerosene poured over them and ignited.
The heat developed by the oil is not
great enough to attack the tin, but melts
the solder, which flows to the bottom Of
the bowl. The solder recovered from
load of cans averages forty pounds.
After this process the tin plate scrap is
sold to make what is called "acid."
Into large open vat containing waste
acid, sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, the
scrap is thrown and allowed to remain
until the tin is stripped from the iron
underneath. More scrap and metallic
iron is added until the solution is neu-
trail. The tin thus dissolved is used
as basis for the preparation of stan
mates or other tin compounds, and by
dyers.
The iron plate is rolled into balls for
melting, the ferrous sulphate is purified
and sold as commercial copperas, and
the remaining acid is used in repetition
of the process. i New York Witness.

Apples.

Chemically the apple is composed Of
vegetable fibre, albuMen, sugar, gum
chlorophyl, malic acid, gallo acid, lime
and much water. Furthermore, the
German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage of phos-
phorus than any other fruit or vegetable.
The phosphorus is admirably adapted
for renewing the essential nervous mat
ter--lecithin-of the brain and spinal
chord
1t is, perhaps, for the same reason,
rudely understood that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the food
of the gods, who, when they felt them
selves to be growing feeble and infrm, re.
sorted to this fruit, renewing their powers
of mind and body. Also, acids of the apple
are of singular use for men of sedentary
habits, whose livers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving to eliminate from the
body noXious matters, which, If retained,
would make the brain heavy and dull, or
bring about jaundice or skin eruptions,
or other allied troubles.
Some such experience must have led
to the custom of taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples. either raw
or cooked, will neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating too
much meat. 1t is also the fact that such
ripe fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without sugar
diminish acidity in the stomach, rather
than provoke it. Their vegetable sauces
and juices are converted into alkaline car
Donates, which tend TO counteract acidity.

Death from "A Sedlitz Powder.

A sedlitz powder as the cause of
death is an almost unheard-of thing in
medical circles, yet Christine Kroys, a
German domestic. of Brooklyn, per-
ished by that means "A few days ago.
She was found by her mistress lying
unconscious on the floor, her lips COW
cred with blood. All efforts to resus-
citate her proved vain, and she died
within few hours. On a table near
10y were found two glasses, in which the
blue and white papers of sedlitz pow
der had been dissolved. Apparently
the girl had drunk first one glass and
then the other. The two packages.

Canada's Chinese Question.

Canada has an important Chinese
question. The Canadian Parliament in
1856 enacted "a law imposing duty of
$50 upon all Chinese, with certain ex-
ceptions, who entered the Dominion.
The number of Chinese to be landed
from one vessel was also limited II
is now stated that the validity of the
act is so strongly questioned that a
Chinaman will test II before the Su-
preme Court. The act is held TO be in
violation of the treaty between China
and England, or at least opposed to the
spirit of the treaty. Should the act be
declared irregular, Canada will have

\ Cyclone Story.

One OF the most peculiar results Of
last sundays cyclone can be seen in
East Jacksonville. A large oak tree
was twisted by the force of the wind
half way round, yet remained up
right, and there are no splits or
cracks visible upon its surface. This
in itself would not be so peculiar
were il not for the fact that the tree
still stays jim its new position, and
the limbs which were previously on
the west side are now on the east.
The body OF the tree is probably split
SO that il will eventually die, but the
bark seems to have remained un-
broken and intact, and therein lies
the peculiarity.-Florida Times

LN THE VALLEY.

To day, when the sun was lighting my house
on the pine-clad HILL
The breast of bird was rufiied as it perched
on my window-sill,
And a leaf was chased by the kitten on the
breeze-swept garden walk,
ADdthe dainty had
OF a dahlia red
Was stirred on its slender stalk.
Obi happy the bird at the rose tree, unheed-
ing the threatening storml
And happy the blithe leaf-chaser, rejoicing IN
sunshine warm
Tbey take no thought for the morrow-they
know no cares to-day;
And the Thousand things
That the future brings
Are blank TO such as they.
But /, by the household ingle, can interpret
the looming clouds,
For the wind "soo-hoos" through the key
hole, and shadow the house en-
shrouds;
And know / must quit my mountain, and go
10 the vale below
For my house IL chill
On the windy hill,
When the Autumn tempes,s blow.
NV mind is forever d awing an instructive
parallel
'Twixt temporal things that perish and eter-
nal things that dwell
When billows and waves surround me, and
waters my soul o'erfow,
descend in hope
From the mountain top
To the sheltering vale below
go down to the Valley Of Silence where the
worldly are never met;
know there is "b,lm and healing there
for eyes that with tears are wet;
And j find, in its sweet secluson, gentle
solace for al my care,
For that valley pure
With its shelter sure,

The Entree TO Society.

or certain New York clubman,
the Recorder tells that he became
desperately enamored Of a charming
widow. She was not unmindful Of

dowed with the acumulations of her
first husbands trade in some patent.
medicines, the suitor anticipated a
delicious little dinner which should
make him appear at his very best
when IL came TO putting the momen-
tOus question. But when they were
at table, and she served him only cold
ham, jelly, tea, and lemonade, his
heart fell. He had never made love
after dinner like that, and he could
not rekindle the flame. 1t was no go,
and he gave it up. AS he was max
ing his adieux, the widow asked, with
seemingly simplicity: "My dear Mr..
W, how does one get into New
York society,"" His opportunity had
come. 1t was mean advantage,
but he took it, as he replied: "By
not serving lemonade at dinner"
And he hurried TO the station.

not been thought to receive support
from the gangway, fell on the unfor-
