Imitation Gold.

One of the journals devoted to the
jewell rs ART says that, among the
many metallic substances employed
at present for producing metal close.
ly resembling gold, q of the most
perfect as well as admirable imita-
tiOns is obtained by the following
process. One hundred parts by
weight are taken of pure copper, four
teen parts of tin or zinc, Six OF mag
nesia, ffty-six Of sal-ammoniac,
eighteen of quickIime, and nine OF
cream of tartar. The copper is melt
ed, and to this are successfully anu
gradually added the magnesla, sal
ammoniac, quicklime, and cream or
tarter, each by itself, in the form o.
powder. The whole is stirred fof
half an hour, the zinc or tin being
added in small pieces, and stirring is
resumed and continued till the whole
is melted, the cruicible being then
covered and the mixture kept in q
molten condition for the period OF
thirty-fve minutes. After this tho
dross is carefully and entirely re.
moved, and the metal is poured into
moulds. The substance thus pro-
duced has a fine grain, is malleaDle,
and does not easily tarnish. .asS

Good

Il learned a new thing" said a lady
recently, while visiting a friend who
is living in the country. We had a
small dance one evening of my stay,
and my hostess served the most deli
cious lemonade lever ia ,ted. l spoke
of it next day and she told me it was
made with freshly boiled water, the
secret she declared, of good lemonade.
She went on to say that she has a reg.
ular rule, whether making a quart or
a glassful, and is always succcssfui in
the result. For a quart she uses the
juice Of three lemons and the rind of
one. She is careful to peel the rind
very thin and taking nothing but the
bare outside yellow. This she cuts into
pieces and puts with the juice and two
ounces of powdered sugar, into a Jug
or jar with a cover. When the water
is just boiling. she pours it over the
lemon and sugar. covers it up at once
and allows it to grow Geld. Try her
way once and you will never want to
drink that made by any other proc
eSS."

Beauty In E'OUR.

Fog is to most people depressing, but
If it is not too thick it affords one
beauty that is unique. This appears
only at night and in pla es that are
well furnished with arc lights. These
lamps spread a white radiance through
the moisture-laden air above and
around them. and, as they sputter and
flicker. the nebule seer over the roofs
and awnings apr ear like the reflection
OF a great fire, except that the light is
white instead of red and yellow. When
forms are blurred in the mist, and dis
lance is o~bliterated, this playing and
flashing of pallid lights is magical and
urcanny as we'll as beautiful.

prise which could never have been
dreamed OF In earlier times, was at
hand. Sil (then Mr. Joseph Lister
was at work in his laboratory in GIas-
gov and in the wards of the Royal
lnfirmary at Glasgow. He had on
ctived the idea Of the antispetic
treatment of wounds, and was en-
gagged in celebrating out Of it a sys-
TEN which ever since has borne his
name. In brief, his method was
based upon the assumption that the
infiammatOry changes occurring in a
a wound, associated with suppura-
ton were due to mlcrObic Infection.
Here was a conviction which seemed
to convey with it an inHnity of prob
lens, the solution OF which might
rebound to the credit of surgery.
That a vast field for speculation
and experiment is seemed to open
out. The tact, however, having been
established by incOntrOvertible
scientific evidence that it was the
presence of p%athogenlc germs in a
wound which caused all those de-
plOrable complications of blood pois-
oning, of which surgeons had so
mucn to complain. the next step in
the evolution of the system was CON-
paratively an easy one. Naturally
the only thing::to bedOne was to insure
the exclusion Of all possible sources

New YORK. Sept. 2l.-A special to the

Senator Calvin s. Brice was inter-
viewed at the Union depot here as he
was passing on his way to New York
from the Ohio convention. Referring
his experiences ne said:
"Tbe insertion of the free silver
plank in the platform of the Ohio state

not wish to be construed as saying that
the platform does not commit the law
makers of the state who may be elected

RIVALS OF HUNTINGTON.

Mexican Steamship Lines Establishe d
on Both Coasts.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2l.-Ine Unsun-
icle will say: The rivals OF the Pacific
Mail company for the Mexican trade on
the Pacific coast have become the rivals
of O. P. Huntington on the Atlantic
side. Two concessions were granted to
Don Elisio Canton julio from the Mexi-
can government, one from Salina Cruz
terminus of the Tehauntepec railroad,
on the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans.
Consul Gsneral Coney OF Mexico says
that he knows that this latter concea.
sion has been granted, and he is of the
impression that both franchises were
issued 20 the same company. Luis Lo-
aiza, whose firm is the agent of the
Compsnia del Eerrocarril Occidental de
Mexico, at Guaymas, says that while it
is possible that the company may have
secured the franchise for line on the
other side, he ia not personally aware
that such ia the fsct.
The terminus of the new line of
steamers on the Atlantic side will be
Progresso In Yucatan. Huntington's
line runs from New Orleans to Vera
Cruz on the Gulf Of Mexico. Progresso
is just aor0ss the Gulf. and it is said
that the Pacific Mail company has had
in contemplation for some time the
proposition of extending the line to that
port. Evidently, however, affairs at
Washington kept the magnate too busy
and tho opportunity slipped by.
A great trade could have been built
up by an American line of steamers be-
tween Yucatan and the United States,
and the new line will probably reap the
bsnsfits. Progresso is the port of entry
for Merida, ths capital city Of Yucatan.
England has the trade of Yucatan now,
shipments all going by the southern
coast through Britiah Honduras or Be-
lze. The port of shipment is Belize.
The natives ship their cotton and hemp
to England, receiving in return for the
moet part arms and ammunition. The
proposition is that Huntington will buy
the Tehuantepec railroad when ready
to make purchase, though, there must
needs be seller, and the Mexican gov
eminent is not acting as if it is very anx-
ious to part with its new road. Ii, as
has been said, President Diaz is going to
spend S. 600, 600 in improving the har-
bors at Sslina Cruz and CostzOcoalcos, il
would seem that the government is de-
siroua of making the test of government
ownership OF railroads.
Mexico needs another line of steamers
on tbs Pacific side. The exorbitsnt
freight rates have not been the only
thorn which the Pacific Mail hss thrust
into the people, but the high rates of
passenger transportation have soured
the people on the coast considerably.
You can go to New York as cheaply 40
you can to Panama on the Pacific Mail
steamers.

"Fair-Play- Men" was the title given
to part of Lycoming county, Pa,
now densely populated and dotted with

of this tribunal, especially as to bound
aries, were enforced by the whole COM
munity and came in time even to be re-
spected by the courts. When chief
Justice Of Pennsylvania asked one of the

load Of coffee from South America
three days before she sailed for Green
land, and was entirely unfit to make the

against taking the vessel north, but to
no purpose.
Continuing, Mr.. Gardner charged DIR.

when getting up the party. which proved
to be most dsceiving, and that the ex-
cursion was simply run for pecuniary
benefit to the promoter.

passengers from the Miranda to the

lowed on the schooner, but he had
secretly conveyed to the Rigel his own
property, including q stock Of liquors
and cigars. which he sold to the passen-
