How Pepsin Il Prepared.

Pepsin, which in various forms is 40
largely used as remedy for indigestion
and stomach trouble, Is obtained from
the membrane that lines tho stomach Of
various animals, that Of the hog being
most largely used. The National Provi-
sioner describes the method Of preparing 1t
Is follows:
The fresh stomachs are deprived Of their
rat and divested Of their outer coating, cut
open, gently washed with cold water and
macerated for several days in pickle
This pickle is composed Of water 80 parts
and hydrochloric acid one part and re-
quires frequent stirring. The liquid Is
next strained and filtered clear through
coarse paper or allowed to stand "a hours
and then poured off. Common suet is
then added and thoroughly mixed with
the liquid. The pepsin rises to the top and
after standing is SKINNED of. After this
it is drained in a strainer, then submitted
to strong pressure to force out all that Is
possible Of the saline solution. Next 1t is
carefully dried in warm air without other
heat. The resultant constitutes the crude
pepsin, which Is used for making purified
pepsin, etc. Purified pepsin" is prepared
by redissolving the crude pepsin before
drying in water acidulated with hydro
chloric acid, then adding just sufficient
salt to separate it from It's solution. It Is
next washed gently with cold water and
drained, pressed and dried rapidly ON glass
with gentle heat.

The crushing defeat Of the Chinese troops
by the japanese forces at Ping Yang, Corea,
Friday, will 20 far towards closing the war
in the east. The Chinese people are not a
match in matters of war, for their more
modern Japanese enemies. The contest
between the two countries is between medi-
evalism and the 10Th century. Sleepy old
China adhering to the customs and methods
of bygone centuries, is now beginning to
appreciate the fact that mere numbers can
not prevail under such circumstances.

BADNESS AND DYSPEPSIA.
A Shining Uranium No Longer indicates

A Shining Uranium No Longer Indicates
Wisdom or Venerable Age. I'D.
A physician has somewhere found sta
tistics for the assertion that about 20 per
cent of the male population become bald
between the ages of 25 and 85, and that by
mother generation it will have increased
TO 90 per cent. This alarming loss in the
head covering may result finally In the
total extinction Of the hairy Uranium pro-
lection nature furnishes, and any check to
its disappearance may Will be received
with appreciation. Bowel and nervous
disorders have now been claimed to be at
the foundation of the whole trouble, and
the dyspcptic nation is always a bald ma
tion. The bald, shining Uranium Of the
young or middle aged man, then, is no lon
ger indicative Of extensive knowledge and
wisdom, but rather of a dyspeptic and prob
ably nervous, irritable nature. The hair
grows poor and secdy, the same rs vegeta'
tion upon barren soil, and the only way
to check such loss Is to make a complete
change in the working order Of the stom-
ach. See that the dyspepsia is cured and
that the stomach works properly. Then,
according to anEnglish specialist, observe
these brief rules: Avoid tight fitting hats,
caps and collars. Never Etand near a gas
or lamplight or artificial heat of any kind.
Don't wet the hair with water oftener
than once a week. Never use salt water.

NOTES AND LETTERS.


WOmA0,1 M10Stv0Gs
Every one has been III houses where the
request for writing material oocasioned a
search all over the house for the family ink
stand and the family supply Of paper.
Such houses, however, do not in these
days exist in cities, where very much OF
the commerce of life must needs be car
ried on by means Of notes. A society wo-
mans day begins with the reading OF and
replying to her many correspondents mis-
sives, remarks Harper's Bazaar In preface
to the following:
But this Is a hurried age. We do every
thing in haste, and we seldom take time
and thought to go through things as thor
oughly as those did who went before u.s.
Therefore crisp, hurried notes are very
much in order, and cardinal point in
good breeding Is to write these with grace
and precision, though with promptness.
The art of terse expression, Of putting
things clearly and lucidly, yet without
brusqueness, Is one to be cultivated sedu-
lously.
No gift should ever be received without
the formal courtesy Of acknowledgment.
and this should be as full and as apprecia-
Tive 6S pOSSlDlo. NO Ou0 uccU Uo oATniO
of giving a superfluity Of thanks. If
possible, o note Of thanks should be
sent Immediately on the receipt of a
gift. 1t loses it's grace by being deferred
So it is with the answers to invitations
They should be written and sent at once,
If possible by the next mail after their re-
ccption, SO that the person from whom
they come may know how to go on In her
arrangements in case either of acceptance
or its opposite. Much embarrassment and
great inconvenience may be caused by tar
dy attention to an invitation.
Notes Of coincidence or of congratula-
ton should follow rapidly upon the event
which calls them forth. To rejoice with
those who are happy, to express sympathy
with those who are in sorrow, is the die
tato of kindness and neighborly feeling,
and no one who aspires to place in good
society ever neglects these obligations.
In fact, the answering of every letter per-
sonally or by q secretary is q token of good
breeding, and the well bred are punctil
ious In doing this.

The Electric Locomotive.

Two powerful electric locomotives have
been completed for the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad, and between this and January /,
it is designed to use them for hauling all
trains through the belt line tunuel under
the city of Baltimore. This, says the Man
chester Union, marks the beginning of the
era of the locomotive run by electricity in
place of steam. If engineers are not great
ly mistaken, within one generation there
will be change from the regulation steam
propelled locomotive to the new form driven
by electric power. The 80 ton locomotive ex
hibited at Chicago last year, the first of the
kind constructed i, the model by which the
two Baltimore engines are built. They
will be the first electric locomotives to 90
into use on road where steam has been
used, but probably not the last. These are
not fast, in the general railroad calculA-
tions, but are capable of attaining speed
of forty miles an hour. This is certainly
fast enough for tunnel work, and consider
ably faster than they will probably be run
through the darkness under Baltimore.
The advantage of these appliances in long
tunnels is obvious, says the Public Lsdger.
They will eliminate the smoke and gas
nuisance which is so annoying t, p.ssen-
gers, and will make travel safer. But
the success of the pending experiment. has
a significance much greater than THE.
It may lead IN time to the general sub'ti-
tution of electric motors for steam locomo-
tives. Every invention must pass
through the experimental stage before
its general acceptance is assured.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1894-09-19

Nearly all of the most useful practical de-
vices were regarded as mere toys in the be-
ginning. They made their way against old
methods and the conservative spirit which
discredjts everything not in line with past
experience. There is every promise Of a
wonderful development of electric power.
When the electric locomotive can run at
4 speed comparable with our fleet steam
locomotive, the day of the introduction Of
electricity ON the great railway systems of
the country is not far distant. When elec-
trio power has reached such pitch of eff
cheney the old railroads will find their
present roadways with their easy grades
and immunity from the distractions which
prevent high rates of speed on electric lines
laid on ordinary roadbeds, finely adapted to
the new order of things.
Among other improvements the innova-
ton would introduce would be better-ighted
trains. On many railways it is impossible
to read on night trains with any degree of
comfort. On long journeys brilliantly
illuminated coach is luxury, unfortunate
ly absent on most lines. There is danger,
too, in the oil lamp and Car stove. These
have been responsible for some of the most
frightful catastrophes in the history
of railroading in all countries. The
stuffy, noxious oil lamp has dis
appeared from first-class railroads, but
the car stove remains with discour-
aging persistency. The introduction of
electricity as motor and as q source of
light and heat on the old railroads implies
much for their patrons. With the removal
of smoke, cinders and gases, with better
light and safer heating, the roomy, COM
fortably-appointed passenger coaches Of the
old railways will hold their own in the COM
petition for the travellers patronage. Their
better roadways are certain to give them a
lasting advantage in point of speed over rail-
ways laid in streets or country roads.

Hon. levi p. Morton.

The Republicans of New York have
made TO mistake in selecting Hon. Levi p.
Morton as their standard bearer. He will
make them an exceptionally strong can
didate. There is probably no msn in the
great Empire state who enjoys greater
degree of merited popularity. His life af-
fords an excellent illustration of what may
be accomplished under our Republican in
stitutions, by young man of industrious
habits, clean character and an ambition to
make the most of himself.
Mr.. Morton began his business life as a
clerk in a country store. His subsequent
history is too well known to the people of
this country. He has received many
honors at the hands of his fellow citizens,
and they have been most worthily bestowed.
He has filled everyone of the responsible
positions to which he has been called with
the same marked ability and conscientious
fidelity that has always been characteristic
of his business life.
Mr.. Morton has most estimable family,
and during his term as vice President un.
der the Harrison administrator his beau.
tiful home was the recognized center OF
the best social life Of the National Capital
lie made himself host of warm friends
who will always rejoice in his successes.
With such candidate there seems to be
no reason why the Republicans of New
York should not move forward to a
triumphant victory at the polls next No.

One day recently, a Bah family
missed their young hopeful of eight
summers. He did not appear when the
family sat down to dinner, and, as the
afternoon wore on, the mother became
anxious as to the whereabouts Of heI
son. Boys of the neighborhood were
called into consultation, and one boy
found, who had seen the youngster earlier
in the day making for Dike's pasture. The
boys started thither on detective work, and
met the youth, near supper time, returning
home. He stated that he had intended te
run away, but his provisions (four dough
nuts and three cookies) had given out, and
he had found no game to kill with muzzle
loading pistol in his possession. 1t is need
less to say he had been reading wild West
stories.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

We feel like taking back many things
we may have said about Kentucky. Its
repudiation of Breckinridge asones for
many of its past faults.
Chairman Wilson over across the water
evidently was too far away to feel the
shock of the Maine election. You can't
find Democrat in these parts who thinks
it did not mean something.
We are nearing the equinoctial storm
md the clements seem to be conspiring to
make 1t notable one, but the Maine
Democrats don't fear it. They can't be
knocked around worse than they were on
election day.
The suggestion that this country will
adjust itself to the new tariff law Is no
doubt true but not cheering. We can
ndjust ourselves to poverty and hard times,
but we don't enjoy the idea, and shall con-
tnuo to protest until the conditions
change. The voters down in Maine Illus
