The sugar schedule. lie charged had been
drawn by the reliners Of sugar in their own
interest The ad valorem Of 10 per cent on
all sugars would permit differentiation of
raw sugars. which were purchased from the
planters Of Cuba and other countries. Fraud
would defeat the ends of revenue to the
treasury and protection to the sugar plant
ers- On refined sugar, that is, sugars above
10 Dutch standard, an additional one-eighth
OF one per cent was levied.

Gorman and other democratic Senators that

The ad valOren duty on the difference be-
wen the cost Of raw and refined sugar
afforded the retners four-tenths Of l cent

the protection accorded the refiners under
THIS schedule was fully five-eighths of a

two ordeals; he must write his name
with few original lines in the visitors
book and submit to testing his weight
on the weighing machine. The sitting
rooms at Sandringham are among the
most charming in the kingdom. There
is almost always the sound of distant
piano playing somewhere, with the ac-
compartment of cries from perky par

cess has special love for animals, and

self. She was lying on the floor, and the
half OF her which was uppermost and
happened to be Mary was laying into
the other half and hauling out the hair
and the hairpins by handfuls. The
strong woman, wanting to check the ef-
fusion of hair, went to work to separate
them and succeeded altogether too we'll
In fact, when she got hold of Mary and
tried to pull her clear of Jane hair the
two girls came apart altogether. The
strong woman, who, like the rest of u.s.
had believed in the two headed girl,
was that frightened when she saw that
she had pulled her clean apart that she,
in turn, yelled for help.
This time l had to lay aside my
scruples and see for myself what was
the matter. There sat the strong woman
on the floor, holding half of the two
headed girl in her arms, and there lay
the other half, two or three yards off,
ON the carpet, crying her level best and
cussing the rest of her in language
which, If / am any judge of language,
and ought to be, was learned some
where down by the wharves. When !
saw that Jane was more frightened than
hurt, l told her to 60 to bed and told
the strong woman to take Mary into her
room for the night. Mary went peace
ably, for when the strong woman got
hold of anybody, male or female, they
generally did as she said.
1.-The next day called up the two
headed girl and told her our contract
was at an end. Il will never, / said,
be party to fraud on the public, es-
pecially when it is sure to be found out,
and this Of yours is. A committee of
Boston surgeons was going to examine
you this very day, and l, believing you
to be genuine, was to offer them every
facility. What l am Offering now is
free passage for you both from here to
New York, and don't you ever let me
hear of your trying to exhibit again, or
I'll come out and tell the truth about
you.
THAT was my only attempt at exhib-
iting two headed girl. 1 ought not to
be hard on the girls, for they pulled me
through very tight place in my pro-
fessional career, but at the same time
they took me in, and not being part
of the public don't like to be took in.
However, it all happened long ago, and
l defy any freak to play any sort of
game on me again. If there is any de-
ceit to be practiced in my show, con-
ceive that I am the only one to do it
and not the one to be practiced on. -

Soluble White Daxtrin.

A writer in The Wollen- Gewerbe
states that an entirely white dextrin,
perfectly soluble in water, is now pre-
pared by diluting pounds and 61S
ounces nitric acid Of Appetite gravity
with 317 quarts water, into which 2, 205
pounds of starch are stirred. This mass
is formed into cakes, which are at first
dried in the air and afteruard at 176
degrees F., and the cakes are then
ground and the powder sifted, and heat
ed from 212 degrees to $50 degrees F.
for 1 or ~ hours. In external ap-
pearance, this preparation cannot be
distinguished from starch -four and is
perfectly free from nitric acid. In the
preparation Of dextrin in the wet way
with diluted acid, it is remarked that
the time at which the last of the starch
has been converted into dextrin must
be carefully noted, as the continued in
fuence of the acid causes the dextrin
to become rapidly saccharose.

Almost all of the inks at present in
use in commercial esta blishments, and
especially the cheaper black ones, attack
steel pens rapidly and make many of
the finer pointed pens useless after few
hours of constant use. M. Guyot sug-
gests a little device by which steel pens
may be protected against this corrosive
action of ink for very long time. He
says: Keep on your table little cylin-
drical vessel-a tum bier, for instance
in the bottom of which have placed
few crystals of potassium carbonate
and over this moistened sponge.
If, when you finish writing, you will
drop your penholder into this glass, let
ting the penholder rest in contact with
the sponge, when you again need it you
will find it clean and uncorroded. The
same result will be obtained if you occa-
sionally wipe it on the sponge, and sub
sequently on a dry wiper, during its
protracted use. If you wipe it on the
sponge frequently, and put it right back
in the ink, you run the risk of eventu-
ally spelling the ink in the stand, as
well as in writing word Immediately
after cleaning, which with some inks
will fade.-National Druggist.

THE SURE ROAD TO SUCCESS.


Agriculture the One Line % Industry
That II Not Overerowded.
mot less than ninety-five per cent
OF our farmers make q success of farm
ing" Those are the words of an Iowa
farmer who spoke before the Iowa sen.
ate committee on agriculture. sta.
tistics show very convincingly that in
business pursuits only five per cont. Of
those who undertake the different lines
are successful. There is. then, . vast
difference between farming and other
kinds of business SO far as surety OF
achieving success is concerned. There
is SO large a difference that comparison
should convince more persons that to
till the sol, is practically the sure road
to success, and consequently the best.
The late extreme depression in bust
ness has hardly been felt by the farm
ers. and even where it was manifest to
them it was noticed in its effect on the
surplus which was to be put aside as
savings-not being noticed SO far as the
enjoyment of necessities and comforts
were concerned. On this one particu.
lar point the farmers stand so far in
advance of strugglers in other ventures
that comparison is almost impossible.
The difference between absolute safety
and possible want is too much to put
into language. Figures can never
compute it. Artists can not paint it
1t must be felt to be appreciated. and to
feel that sense of surety is to enjoy
more of life than even the abundantly
successful business adventurer can feel
in the height of imitation. The words
of the Iowa farmer my seem over.
drawn. but even If they are by seventy
or eighty per cent. there would still be
a heavy balance in favor Of farming.
The conclusion is easy that agriculture
is the. one line of industry not over
crowded, which, in fact, can not be
overdone in this country within the
life OF any person now living. II
will take years to strike balance be.
tween ninety five and five per cent. &C
that farming will be on . par with mer.
camille pursuits as to uncertainty. Asa
matter of fact. that time need never be
expected. Mean while every effort put
forth to keep young men on the farms
or to get families out of the towns on
to the farms is in the interest Of per
manent national prosperity. to say
nothing of personal comforts and safe
ty. Every day the tide is turning
toward the rural districts The prices
of farms will gradually 20 up as the
demand for such homes increases That
has always been the effect following a
financial depression. The value of suit.
able stock for beginning farming opers-
tions will also rise as the popularity q
farming grows upon the people. The
necessity for immediate action can b.
easily recognized under the existing
circumstances The prophecy will
hardly be doubted that there will be
ten. if not fifty, per cent less ''aban'
Aoned farms" in New Hampshire at the
end of this year than on this date. II
that be true the financial difficulties
will not have come upon the people in
vain.-Manchester Union.
