Zimped In His Right Leg.

Private Secretary Thurber tells me the
president took his little trip down the
river in hopes the jaunt would do him Sc
much good as to put him in shape for tht
coming social campaign. The president
has not recovered fully from his rheumatic
attack of q few weeks ago and said weeh
ago that unless l:o got better he was much
afraid he would have to give up the idea
of holding public reception on New
Years Then the trip down tho coast wa
suggested and was finally decided on.
When he went away, the president was
still Iimping a little in his right leg. DR..
O'Reilly, his physician, who attended him
through the late attack of rheumatism
and gout, and who was at one time wor
ried by fear that the trouble was going
to his patients heart, accompanied the
president, as did Mr.. Cleveland's faycritc
companion, Captain Robley Evans of the
navy.
The employees of the government print
ing office have adopted novel means OF
impressing congress with the need Of haste
in the matter of providing new building
for the use of the public printer. They
have engraved and published in the local
newspapers narrowing picture of great
building in ruins, with the bodies of LIEN
and women mixed up in the debris and
Others trying to escape, and this is labeled
"Disaster at the Government Printing
Office-What Might Occur" The worst
of iu is there is real danger, for the build
ing now occupied by the ., 500 employees
of the greatest printing office in tho world
has been condemned as unsafe.

Antiquity of Smoking.

In the mortar Of the tower of Kirk
stall abbey, which fell in the year 109,
Whitaker mentions that several little
smoking pipes" were found, showing
that the smoking of some herb or other
was in use in England 400 years before
tobacco was introduced. DR., Petrie
mentions that pipes of bronze for smok-
ing are often found in ancient Irish tu-
null. In the monument Of Donough
O'Brien, king of Thomond, who was
killed A. D. 1927 and inferred in the
abbey of Corcumrae, County Glare, he
is represented with short pipe, or du-
deem, in his mouth.
It may be observed that in 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. Newcastle Chronicle.

ACID EoR MAKING SUGAR.

A Curious Process Which Has Met With
Some Success In France.
A very novel method of making sug-
ar has been patented in France by NJ.
Pellegrini. Sugar is chemically COM
pound of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen
in such proportions that if carbonic
acid, water and certain kinds of illumi-
mating gas could be persuaded to unite
in 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 NJ Pellegrini claims to have
succeeded TIE apparatus he uses con-
sists of large block of pumice stone,
cleansed by soaking first in sulphuric
acid and then in water, which is set in
an iron box plated with nickel inside.
The length of the box is three times
that of the pumice 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 carbonio acid and
hydrocarbon 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 the other under equal
pressure and in equal volumes A few
minutes later the steam valve above is
opened and the steam forced in under
the same pressure. AS the gases unite
the pressure falls, so that the supply OF
each must bo 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 20 per cent of sugar.
The sirup is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool il
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 i:
that the three gases are condensed il
the pores of the pumice stone and there
unite. Architect

THE GRAPEVINE SWING.

Blithely whistling, with agile swing.
Leaps the farmers boy 10 the grapevine swing
To and fro, high and low,
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,
Spurning 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 nesu
Dropping, dropping, swiftly down,
With flying glimpse of the distant town,
Back and forth in the noontide glow,
Swinging slower and still more slow,
Idly rocking in sun pierced gloom
To a tremulous pause in the vines perfume.
Springing at length where the grasses yield,
He follows the men to the haying field.
