See Only the Good.

There is an old pagan fable of a
man who for some crime of injustice
was cursed with the power of seeing
other human beings, not in their
beauty of flesh and blood, but as skel,
stons, gaunt and grisly. Too many
OF us have this miserable faculty,
and go about stripping off every
worthy charm and beauty With
which our friends are clothed to find
and expose some ugly trait or passion
underneath. h.-Christian Advocate.

apology. The lady, instead of being an

accepted the apology with such an air of

OF suicide by poisoning, which, curiouslS
enough, was prevented by threat Of

lice station in this city, and how 1t escaped
the vigilance of the eagle eyed reporter at
the time do not know. 1t was in this
way: We were all sitting about when a
young man came in looking around wild
eyed, and suddenly turning to one of the
patrolmen he produced little paper box
There's SO grains of morphine in this,

he took the top off the box, raised it to

into MS mouth when Patrolman K. threw
his club, striking the wrist Of the youth
With such true aim that the poison flew

Ell EcTalCirY FROM RUBBISH.
a New French Invention That May Solve
Difficult Problem.

A HseW Hfcncn invention Thnt May solve
Difficult Problem.
The satisfactory disposal of the rubbish
and refuse of our large towns has for years
occupied the close attention of engineers
and sanitarians alike, and various modes
of dealing with the problem have been ad-
vocated and carried into practice, while
the statement furnished by reliable statis-
tics that London alone produces no fewer
than I, 800, 900 tons of refuse per annum
affords our readers some adequate idea Of
the magnitude and Importance of the diff
fculty to be grappled with by local and
municipal bodies. Conveyance of the ref.
use to the sea has been practiced with sue
cess, but such mode is obviously too cost
ly for towns not on the seaboard, and un.
der these circumstances the adoption Of
the cremators, in which the rubbish is
wholly consumed by fire, has come more
and more into favor, SO that at the pres
ent moment the majority of the principal
cities are either constructing or about to
construct the new refuse cremator. Hith-
erto the cremator has been deemed q nui-
sance and an Improbable though necessa-
ry burden to the taxpayers, but changes
are now in progress which may turn even
the crematOr to useful account
Much heat is evolved in the destruc-
tion of the refuse, and the idea is gain
ing ground that such heat may be
largely and advantageously utilized in the
production of steam power and electricity.
instead of being permitted to run to waste,
The production of furnace suitable for
the most economical combustion of ali
kinds OF refuse has necessarily required
much time and skill, and it was only after
25 years of close application to the problem
that the late M. Fountain de Liyet.
French engineer, succeeded in securing a
powerful natural draft in furnaces with
out artificial means, and in consuming
rubbish without smoke or noxious fumes
of any kind
1t is of course hardly necessary to add
one word of caution in regard to the in
vention. It is not to be assumed that be-
cause rubbish is burned the electricity
necessarily costs absolutely nothing. The
cost OF plant, distribution of power and
many other expenses must not be lost sight
OF, to say nothing of the labor expended
in collecting the refuse. Allowing, how
ever, for all this, it is quite clear that an
invention which rids the community of a
great nuisance, and does SO without GREAT
ing further one in the shape of noxious
fumes and smoke, and at the same time
turns to good account the heat generated,
must confer benefits on the community at
large and that the keen interest aroused
in the new adaptation is amply warranted
by the sound economic principles on which
1t is sbased-Chambers' journal.
