THE Jury WAS VERY DRY.
The II men of the jury, still keeping
the lockstep, and doing It pretty well after
III days OF practice, did an interesting
thing. They marched straight through
the town, straight into the Parker House
and straight up to the bar. 1t is true that
the pupulaca gathered on the sidewalks
and in the windows, and cheered them as
they marched; but they did not mind that;
they had a Ii days thirst on them. Ii Is
true that men and women Grasped their
hands on the street and asked God TO
bless them, but they had no time for
nonsense; they were headed for the Parker
House bar Little boys ran ahead of them,
and lots of other boys trailcd along behind
them; but of this they seemed oDivious.
They simply held Il straight course, and
With eyes liked and minds monopolized by
one controlling thought, they marched

The Process of Coating Mirrors.

The process of coating mirrors with
mercury does not materially differ now
from that of three hundred years ago.
A large stone table ground perfectly
smooth is go arranged as TO be easily
canted little on one side by means of
a screw set beneath 1t. Around the
edges OF the table is groove, in which
mercury may flow and drop from one
corner into bowls. The table is first
made perfectly horizontal, and then
tin foil is carefully laid over it, cover
ing a greater space than the glass to be
coated. 4 strip of glass is placed along
each of the three sides of the foil to
prevent the mercury from flowing off.
The metal is then poured from ladies
upon the foil till it is nearly a quarter
Of an inch deep, and its tendency to
flow is checked by its affinity for the
tin foil, and the mechanical Obstruc-
ton of the slips Of glass. The plate OF
glass, cleaned with especial care, Is
dexterously slid on from the open side,
and its advancing edge is kept IN the
mercury, so that 10 air or floating OK
ide of the metal or other impurities
can get between the glass and the clean
surface of the mercury. When exactly
in it's place it is held till one edge of
the table has been elevated ten or
twelve degrees, and the superfuous
mercury has run off. Heavy weights
are placed on the glass, and it is left
for several hours. 1t is then turned
over and placed on frame, the side
covered with the amalgam which adj
heres to it being uppermost. In this
position the amalgam becomes hard
and the plate can then be set on edge
but for several weeks it is necessary to
guard against turning it over, as until
the amalgam is thoroughly dried the
coating is easily injured. The process
is attended with many serious difficult
ties. The health Of workmen is affected
by the fumes of mercury; the glass
plates are frequently broken by the
weight placed upon them, and the
coating of amalgam is frequently
spoiled by drops Of mercury removing
portions of it as they trickle down, or
by its crystallizing, or by mechanical
abrasion. -Courier-J ournal.

a FIRE PANIC.
A New York Factory Burned and
Five Lives Lost.

There was a serious fire on the East Side
of New York City, a few mornings since. in
which five lives were lost and $4,000
worth of property was destroyed. Fire
Marshal Mitchell thinks that the fire was
started by lighted cigarette thrown into q
rubbish heap under the wooden stairway,
but the frightened people who escaped from
the burning building assert that if anything
was thrown into the rubbish it was done so
Intentionally.
More than one hundred Russian Hebrews
were at work in the tailors' shops which oc-
cupied the buildings. The casualty list as
made out by the police and the Gouverneur
Hospital authorizes is as follows:

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Regarding the saving of lumber for foreign
shipment r /. Stone, of this city, makes some
interesting statements In the following letter 70
the Pon -IsTELLISExcRR:
Having read Mr. Herrick's remarks ia your
issue OF this date, should like to give my views
on the matter. A. q practical lumber expert
with twenty yeafs' experience in Europe,
Canada and the United States, have no hesita-
tiou in saying that the mills on the Pacific coast
are far too prodigai IN cutting Twenty-Five per
cent of the lumber IL either destroyed BY IRE or
converted into iow-pficed goods. whereas, II care
was taken by the owners of the mills, large
quantities Of the produce could b saved and
sold daily.
Having cut for the English market in Sweden
and Russia consider know somewhat OF the
requirements. The fact 10 the people here cut
lumber OF fine quality, but in sizes that do not
suit the trade. and stick three inches thick 1t
one end aud two aud one-haif At the other does
not GO down At any price. have loaded csrgoes
on the Sound for England, but the profit for the
shippers was very small for the above reasons:
Herrck Is good in its way, but the practice 10
that carpenter buys just the sizes be eau pro-
cure without the cost of resawing at mill
The great aiyantase this country possesses
enables II to ship 10 England such sizes a. they
cannot obtain in Europe, aud which will be
bought up like ripe cherries. The inferior
grades OF lumber are more in demand in Eng
land than first class, SO II you know what the
people require aud place ii at . reasonable fig
ure in price. IL will sell. shall be glad 70 hear

Evangelist Martin and Easton Con-
tinue Services ut Plymouth Church.
"a Lawyers Defense of Judas lscariot' was
the subject OF the discourse delivered last night
By Evangelist s. NJ. Martin to a large audience
in Plymouth church. The speaker said that al
though for 1880 years men have condemned the
treachery of Judas IscariOt. he had had
many imitators. II he we're a condemned Grim.
inal today he might receive sympathy and flow
ers at the hands of some tender-hearted women,
who never waste sympathy on the Judas, the
betrayer Of Christ. The speaker continued:
Why. ask only justice for my client lie did
not know the true mission OF Jesus Christ He
may have believed that Christ would deliver
himself up or that he would hasten his victory
by u shrewd financial scheme and then REIN
state himself in the favor of the Betrayed He
sold his Lord for $is.l5 He loved money: SO do
you. Have you not some time sold your ale-
glance 10 truth for Is cents and LETT the SIS off !?
Do not be too easy on yourself aud too hard on
Judas. He let the devil in and did his work.
How 10 it with yourself? Are you doing his
work? II Judas had repented he might have
been forgiven. The murderers OF Jesus were
forgiven. He confessed his sin but did not
repent Is he alone in this?
Mr.. Martin closed with q strong appeal, to
which fifteen persons responded Again he an
nounced that the response was so generous that
he must remain one more night He breaches
again tonight at Plymouth church. The num-
Der of converts is growing rapidly toward the

TO UNITE THE HOP GROWERS.
Meeting Soon to Be Held-E6ect Of New

York Association.
James Hart. of Auburn. who has for some time
been working for the formation OF hop grow
ers' association in this county, has received the
following circular, which has been issued by
the executive committee of the New York Hop
Grower Association 20 the members. and
which well illustrates the workings of such an
organization:
The effect of the Association ofg Hop Growers
II already felt in the hop market Dealers who
were sitting in their Offices two weeks ago wait
Ing for growers to come in with their samples
ing the country in every direction and picking
up every lot they can get hold OF at from 20
to q cents. Those growers who are obliged
their need of immediate funds can thank this
association for sending the buyers out and COM
pelltng them to pay 20 to Il cents, when by this
citation, prices would have been hammered
down to probably II or Is cents. Every one of
our town representatives has gone to work with
will. and the result is that we have now Sc
cured more than the required number OF bales
on the list OF the association and more coming
in every day a. the roads become passsble and
our growers can be reached. The increased ac-
tlvlty In buying at or even above association
prices at this date shows that the "bears" have
taken the alarm, and moreover our various re-
ports show that some 1000 bales have been
appear in the exports from New York Let
every one OF our associates in every
town cOntinne to send us IN careful and
prompt reports of ali sales In their town, with
name OF grower and name of buyer and the
name of the firm he buys for. and We will con-
tinue every week to consolidate these reports SO
that every one of our associates will know, not
only his own market, but through rs will hear
from ali the rest Thus in our next and future
reports we shall be able to 60 more into detail
and post each man on the hop market and give
him the exact situation gathered from all these
reports OF good reliable men all over the state.
Congratulating the association on the results
already achieved in a more active and rising
market, We hope to be able to report from week
to week as good or better in the future.
Mr.. Hart will call q meeting at Auburn in
about three weeks to organize q similar associa-
ton. 1t is not proposed to have the association
interfere with the growers liberty in making
sales, but the object is to work in unison with
the New York association as to sales and con-
tracts made, terms, prices, delivery, etc Mr..
Hart says that the largest hop growers in the
county are in favor of an association and that
the smaller ones will now doubtless come ir.
