New Process with Fruit Juice.

The diffusion process of extracting
Juice from fruit is gaining ground. It
has long been applied in France in the
extraction of beet-root juice for sugar,
and it is now used in making cider
without cider mill or cider press.
In crushing and pressing the apples
the pure fruit juice is not obtained, for
much albuminoid matter is extracted
with it from the cells. In the new
process, says the Baltimore American,
the juice is washed out from sliced
fruit withcoid water. Warm water acts
more quickly, but the result is not near
ly so savory. The water passes from
one compartment filed with fruit to
another, and the process is SO arranged
that in each it meets fresher fruit than
IN the last; SO that it leaves saturated
with juice, or Father 1t and the juice
change places, so that nearly pure juice
issues from the machine. The results
are said to be satisfactory in the high
est degree.

CHILD SLAVERY IN SICILY.

Shocking Condition of Affairs In the Sui
phur Mines at GirgentI.
An investigation has been set on
foot regarding the sulphur mines Of
Girgenti. The researches reveal a
fearful state of things. Each miner
working at the vein has as assistants
or ''curusi' one or two children, whose
duty it is to carry the broken mineral
to the surface These children are
bought from their parents for one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty francs;
so long as that sum is not returned the
child belongs to the miner, is his per-
soual property-hi slave, in fact.
Twelve hours a day these poor
wretches labor, carrying upon their
backs heavy loads to the surface. A
little bread and some raw onions are
all the food which these children,
whose ages vary between eight and
fifteen years, have to support life upon.
At night they sleep upon the hard floor
of cave.
Their skin hangs in rags from their
shoulders, their bodies are covered
with sores, their backs bent, their
limbs twisted, their foreheads wrink.
led, and their eyes are sunkan In their
sockets. Death alone can set them
free, and the barbarous treatment of
their tyrants often accelerates this
fatal issue. Many victims perish un.
der the blows of their masters. and no
pne troubles himself in the least about
1t. The most terrible moral corrup.
tion reigns at the bottom of this hell,
and the wretched ''curuso" is the vic.

WIND AND ELECTRICITY.
The Wind Is Free and windmills Are
Plenty.


Plenty.
Serious attempts are now being made
to utilize electrically another of the
forces of nature-wind power. Thou
sands of windmills are now in use in
the United States, says the New
York Post, especially in rural districts
and on country estates, but hitherto
their usefulness has been restricted to
pumping, drainage, irrigation, etc.
Apparatus is now being introduced
that it is hoped will be valuable ad-
junct in windmill plants. 1t is stated
that throughout this country an aver
age rate of seven and three-quarte,r
miles per hour, of the wind, can be do.
pended on, and this being the case
anyone with windmill can have
electric lighting by hitching on small
dynamo and few storage batteries.
An experimental plant at Jersey City
comprises a windmill, which, with a
diameter of eighteen feet and a speed
of twenty miles an hour, is capable of
delivering three horse power. The
dynamo has q maximum capacity of
thirty-fve amperes at thirty-fve volts,
and is brought into play whenever an
eight-hour breeze is blowing. It then
charges the battery, while a special
switch prevents the battery discharg-
ing, when the dynamo speed falls off.
The dynamo occupies floor space of
only thirty inches square and is but
fifteen inches high. The storage cells
charged by it furnish current abun-
dainty for twenty-four incandescent
lamps. The opportunities for such
outfits appear innumerable, If the appa-
ratus prove efficient and trustworthy

HE CAN FEEL NO PAIN.
A West Indian Who Makes Nothing o
Being Pierced by Wire.

OetHB Aierceu Dy WIRE
Three reputable physicians of Mobile
recently made some experiments on the
person of man named Lartado, ma
tive of Trinadad This man seemingly
is wonder. He appears to oe utterly
oblivious to the sensations of heat and
cold, and, in fact, experiences no feel
ing of pain, even when undergoing
treatment that would cause an ordi-
nary man untold agony. He is twenty
four years old, is five feet seven inches
in height, weighs one hundred pounds,
and is perfectly sound mentally and
physically. His father was Spaniard
and his mother an English woman. A
correspondent of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat witnessed the man
run through his neck down to and
grazing the trachea piece of steel
wire one-eighth of an inch in diameter,
to which most powerful galvanic bat
terry was attached and shifted from
one current to another without any
perceptible pain, but with considerable
acceleration of pulse. He passed an
other large steel wire into his mouth
and through his check, in all directions,
and no blood flowed. Another large
wire was passed through and through
the large muscles of the calf of the leg
and between the biceps muscle, in line
with the brachial artery, and through
the arm above the wrist, between the
two bones of the arm, and other like
experiments in different parts of the
body, all of which with seemingly no
pain and no bleeding from any place
but a drop from the neck. In fact,
each of the openings made by the in
strument closed up as bloodless and as
easily as if the man was constructed of
India rubber. The physicians present
declared that it was the most wonder
full exhibition of freedom from all pain
they had ever witnessed. The man
never flinched during any of the ex-
periments, while the instruments were
jabbed into him with no more consid-
Grafton than if he had been a water
melon.

ASTONISHING
Is the Growth and Hold of the Tobacco
Habit,


Much has been said of the curses
of intemperance, the use of opiates,
etc., while another evil, greater be-
cause it is more whispered and
quiet in it's deadly results, has been
ignored. We have reference to the
tobacco habit, to which the public
mind is being slowly aroused. To-
bacco in any form is injurious. At
first it is used sparingly, but the
desire grows until at length a habit
has been formed, a demand has
been created which cannot be
thrown off except by the exercise
of the greatest will power.
The growth Of this habit is one
of the alarming developments of the
age. Such large percentage of
the men of today use tobacco in one
form or other that the practice may
be said to be almost universal. Out
of 10000 men not over 400 will be
found who are free from it. while
boys not out of their teens stand
around on the streets chewing and
smoking with as much gusto as an
adult.
The evils which follow the use of
tobacco are many and very serious.
Few habitues will confess the truth
until when their system is broken
down and completely wrecked, they
are unable to make further conceal
ment. The nerves become shatter-
ed, sleepless nights, impaired eye
sight, disordered stomach, vertigo,
palpitation of the heart, throat
trouble, facial neuralgia, catarrh
and paralysis are almost certain to
follow the excessive use of the weed.
1t is not uncommon to hear men
acknowledge their inability to re-
form and thus they drift along to-
wards an early grave. DIR. Hill,
man of great penetration, soon
discovered this evil and after years
of patient, continuous research and
experiments, gave to the world his
celebrated Chloride of Gold Tablets,
one Of the greatest blessings known
to modern therapeutics. These
Tablets are endorsed by the medical
fraternity and prescribed by ply
sicians in their regular practice.
They are sure cure for the tobacco
habit in any form and are pleasant
and harmless in their composition.
The patient is not required to ex-
ercise his will power, but continues
his old habits until he rejoices in,
the discovery that his appetite is
gone and he has been rescued from
his perilous position. Write to the
Ohio Chemical Co., Lima, o., sole
manufacturers of HIPS tablets, or
call upon your leading druggists.

Our Condition.

According to Mr.. Walker, 6
Republican member of Congress
from Mass, the people of the Unit
ed States owe debts, public and
private, amounting to $32, 900, ,O0O,-
600. We take Mr.. Walker as
authority, because, coming from
New England, aud being a Repub-
lican, he will not be accused of
placing the figures too high.
1t is claimed by some that the
rate of interest ON this Indebtedness
will average eight per cent per
runum. But to be entirely safe
and conservative for the purpose of
this article, we will place the rate
at six per cent. Six per cent on
$32, ,OO0, 900, 900 amounts to 81, ,92O,-
100000. Now what will it take to
pay this intesest? The corn crop
of the country in 1892 was 1925
494, 900 bushels. If it brought an
average of 40 cents per bushel, we
have $651 1886, 900, as it's total
