Antinnitv of snnnI,ino.

In the mortar of the tower of Kirk stall abbey, which fell in the year 1779, Whitaker mentions that several little smoking pipes" were found, showing that the smoking of some herb or other was ill use in England 400 years before tobacco was introduced Dr. Petrie mentions that pipes of bronze for smok- ing are often found ill ancient Irish tu- muli In the monument of Donough O'Brien, king of Thomond, who was killed A. D. 1927 and inferred in the abbey of Corcumrae, County Clare, he is represented with short pipe, or du- deen, in his mouth.
 It may be observed that i'll some very ancient coal workings, which were found under Lambton castle some 30 years ago, some of these very old smok- ing pipes were found and generation or two ago not far from Lambton very poor old folks might often be seen smok ing the common white lowered yarrow, a herb frequently found in country churchyards.

Aclp FoR MAKING sUeAR.
4 Curious Process Which Has Met Wit
 Some Success In Franee.

A CuEtOuS BrOceSs winch Has Met With
 Some Success In France.
 A very novel method of making sug- ar has been patented ill France by M. Pellegrini Sugar is chemically a com pound of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen ill such proportions that if carbonio acid, water and certain kinds of iIlumi- hating gas could be persuaded to unite i'll the proper quantities the composition of sugar would be exactly initiated. Hitherto no one has been able to make sugar by mixing water with two kinds of gas but M. Pellegrini claims to have succeeded. The apparatus he uses con- sists of large block of pumice stone, eleansed by soaking first i'll sulphurie acid and then ill water, which is set i'll an iron box plated with nickel inside The length of the box is three times that of the pumiee stone block, which is tightly fitted in the middle, and pipes are arranged to convey the ingredients to the empty ends of the box, as requir- ed. Two of them enter from the sides and serve to bring carbonic acid and hydroearbon gas, while another pipe from above branches so as to reach both empty portions of the box and conveys steam. All the pipes are fitted with valve and pressure gauges.
 Another pipe at the bottom of the box serves as an outlet At first this pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe from above, and carbonic acid is forced into one end of the box, while ethylene gas is forced into tho other under equal pressure and i'll equal volumes. A flow minutes later the steam valve above is opened and the steam forced ill under the same pressure. As the gases unite the pressure falls, so that the supply of each must be kept constant. At the end of half an hour the supply of gas is shut off, the outlet pipe is opened and one of the chambers is found to be filled with sirup containing 25 per cent of sugar.
 The sirup is drawn off for refining, and as soon as the apparatus is cool it is ready for fresh charge. The ethy- lene gas can be obtained by roasting rosin or grease, but M. Pellegrini's pat ent covers other hydrocarbons, such as petroleum products. The explanation is that the three gases are condensed i'll the pores of the pumiee stone and there mite.

Miss Sadie Monroe Swift the clever official reporter of the Middlesex and Barnstablo terms of the supreme court of Massachusetts, who won the distinc- tion of being the first and youngest wo- man to be officially recognized in Bos- ton as a court stenographer, has made another record.

PINE BLUEF, ERI<ENSES.
THE LANGUAGE OF FINGERS.
Their Silent Talk Is Important In Board of
 Trade Trnnsactions.

Thousands of visitors who yearly go to the board of trade and watch the traders on the exchange floor from the public gallery express surprise at the rapid manner in which business is trans acted. As rule, the wheat pit attracts them, and they do not understand how commodities change hands with such lightning rapidity, and how hundreds of thousands and millions of bushels are bought and sold i'll an incredibly short space of time is to the novice pro found mystery. They do not know that the brokers do great deal of their work by finger signs seldom understood by the outsider.
 It requires only the fraction of q seo- ond to buy and sell 50, GOO bushels of wheat.
 "Tll sell 90 Sep. at an eighth, ]" cries one of the brokers, and he has hardly finished speaking before another on the opposite side yells "Sold. <" The trade is put down on the trading card, and the transaction, which involves over $50, 000, has been completed.
 The number of bushels offered for sale is indicated by holding up one finger for each 5, GOO bushels So ill selling 90, GOO bushels the broker simply holds up both hands and waves them from him, which explains itself as wanting to dispose of the lot. In addition to this, brokers have a complete finger code by which the condition of the market is commu- nieated. The signs generally used are as follows:
 The first finger held up stands for one-eighth of 1 cent, as the traders all know the main price. If, for instance, the first sale of wheat after the market opened was made at 60 cents and tho next at 6018 cents, the trader simply holds up one finger for the advance of one-eighth of 1 cent. The upward posi- tion of the finger is to show the upward course of the market. Should the market be bearish and the price decline to 5978 cents, the signal for this would be closed hand, with the thumb pointing downward. This shows the price seven eighths of a cent and the status of the market downward. Chicago Tribune.
 IIety and Politics.
 No one who has visited the south can escape the impression that deep revo lution i'll opinion is at work there. ,Fol several years it has been their habit te hold modest, unheralded meetings, main ly in the rural districts, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly. They are usually opened with prayer, and it is not unusual after harvest time for the planters to maintain camp meetings q week together. Speaking begins be- tween 8 and 10 i'll the morning, and the slow declining sun is still spectator te these intense congregations. There is even a fine illumining vein of religious fervor in it all. The opening prayer, the political song set to church music, the two hour harangue at a stretch, the patriotic cheers like strains from new anthem-these are not the committee bought demonstrations of common cam paigns. It is rising of the people, and in due time the newspapers will make a discovery, for they will hear these peo- pie sing, and after that the ballot. - Donahoe's Magazine

Blithely whistlng, with agile swing. Leaps the farmers boy to the grapevine swing To and fro. high and los,
 Up where the winds the branches blow, Flying down to lightly pass Where bare feet ripple the blue eyed grass. Up again in the sunshine free, Back, in the shade of the maple tree, Spurnipg the ground with supple foot At the well worn spot at the naples root Higher; the branches strike his breast, There are three blue eggs in the robins nesti Dropping, dropping, swiftly down. With a flying f npse of the distant town, Back and forth in the noontide glow. Swinging slowoc and still more slow, Idly rocking ill sun pierced gloom To tremulous pause ill the vine's perfume. springing at length where the grasses yield, He follows the men to the having field.

The American Athletic Union to Com-
 pete For Honors In England.
 NEW YORK, Oct. .5.-Anent the re- port that New York will send an ath- letic club to Europe. George Schweigler, the athlete, has sent to E. c. Carter, the official handicapper of the American Athletic union and editor of the New York Athletic Club Journal, the following communication, which is published today.
 Dear Sir:--The New York Athletic club has not only been successful in it's rivalry with other clubs, but it has in it's ranks this season athletes who are ur- doubtedly entitled to consideration of Representative champions of America, and whose ability enables them to hold their own with the best men in other countries. Never has the outlook been brighter for an international contest re. suiting in an overwhelming victory foi the representatives of America.
 The great struggle between Yale and Oxford caused such enthusiasm in Eng. land and America, that no doubt in. tense interest would be created if the New York Athletic club sent a team to compete for the English championships next year.
 Local athletic authorities seem to be- believe that the Americans can hold their own in about eight of the 13 con- tests which comprise the English cham pionship programme. They seem to be- heve that Tilee has an excellent chance to defeat c. A. Bradley in the 100-yard run, although Bradley is champion of England and 10-second man.
 The authorities concede the quarter mile run to E. c. Breden, the English Champion, as it is not believed that either Lee, Sands or Lyons is fast enough to defeat the Englishman.
 In the half-mile Charles Fitzpatrick could be pitted against Breden with brighter prospects. Breeden's best record is only three-ffths of a second better than that of Fitzpatrick.
 G. w. Orton has good chance at the mile run and the Emile steeple chase.
 In the 120-yard hurdle it Is believed that all England cannot show 8 man who can conquer Stephen Chase His friends are confident that he can defeat Godfrey Shaw.
 L. P. Sheldon has already beaten England's best broad jump.
 George R. Gray should win the 16- pound shot, as his record is six inches better than any man in England.
 J. 8. Mitchell has an excellent chance to capture the 16-pound hammer cham. Dsonship.

 BAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-''It is a breaking up of the Chinese empire that the missionaries in China have most to fear just now," says Rev. w. B. White. .sEven in the midst of war the mission aries will probably be deemed neutral and be amply protected by flags of their own countries, but in the event of dis solution of the empire, it is hard to pre- dict what might happen to them, but it would certainly be of serious conse- quence.
 Mir. White is a missi onary of the Southern Presbyterian church and has just returned from Shanghai on account of his health.
 MT. White continued: "The present smperor, who is foreigner, is heartily disliked by a great portion of his sub jects. Under the leadership of any good man, Li Hung Chang for instance, the rebellion would be almost certain to prove successful. AS soon as the re- atraining power of the emperor Is gone the Chinese hatred for foreign mission aries will be certain to make itself felt more than it ever has in the past.
