The feature of the sport was the hair
pulling and when it was over not one oi
the eleven would have looked presentable,

SUTRO
AND THE VATICAN

A LBERT SUTRO, the well-known banker
"A and Oriental scholar (who has charge
of Mayor Sutro's library, will contribute
the result of some of his recent researches
in the Sutro library to next Sundays is
sue of the SAN Francisco CALL. He has
translated from rare Hebrew volume,
published in 1886, extracts which bear
directly on disputes among theologians as
to the birth of Christ and the martyrdom
of the apostles Paul, Peter and john His
discovery and researches have so inter-
ested the Vatican that strong efforts have
been made to buy the treasured volume,
but Mayor Adolph Sutro declined TO dis

IHE ELECTRIC FURNACE FOR THE SMEIT-
ING OF REFRACTORY 0REs.-G. Il. Burton.
who has devoted some years to the reduc-
ton OF ores by electricity, combined with
liquid solution, has. discovered that
where the ore is of rebellious character
if a proper fux be placed in the solution
the metal in the ore will separate and
run from the ore with freedom CORE
spending to the different degrees OF heat
required to melt the different metals. In
treating ore containing lead, copper, gold
and silver, the lead will separate first and
be found in the bottom of the tank in
small globules. As the heat increases the
silver will follow, then the copper and then
the gold, the rock being finally consumed
or reduced 10 an ash. Each metal thus
separated will be found at the bottom of
the receiving tank IN separate particles or
globules OF its own kind. In less than
three-quarters OF an hour a ton of ore can he
treated in this way in one receptacle. A
number of ore-receivers, or recentacles
can be worked either separately or to-
gether, and supplied automatically. So
far as experiments have gone there is no
rebellious ore which this process cannot
handle successfully. From various kinds
of rock gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc.
antimony, etc., have been separated, as
Ncll do diA VI the VI such as
arsenic, sulphur, etc. This process will
effect remarkable economy in smelling.
In many places, particularly in California,
where smelling charges are $17 90 per ton
and railroad transportation costs SIT per
ton, the mine must average about $50 per
ton to be profitable. A large portion of
this expense can be saved by util-
izing the neighboring water power
for extracting on the spot all
the valuable contents of the ore. The re-
ports of the treatment of nickel ores
by this system in Canada point to an
efficiency hitherto incredible. With an
experimental smelter in Toronto a nickel
matte was produced coDteining 27.5 per
cent pure nickel. The Ontario Govern
ment states officially that a nickel matte
of 21.25 per cent nickel is the best that
Canada has been able TO produce. The
process by which this is attained takes
about four months, whereas by the electric
system ton of nickel can be reduced in
about forty minutes. 1t is possible that
the price of nickel, which is now about
35 cents a pound. may by this process be
brought down to 10 cents pound.

HOW CREAM is RIPENED.

The cream is best skinned when
rather thick, that is, when it may be
almost rolled up on the pan and lifted
in sort of cake. It will then con.
tain about twenty per cent. of milk,
and some milk must then be poured
into the cream jar with the cream,
and the whole stirred to mix the two
intimately. This stirring Is done
every time the cream is added, and
the third milking should be the last
before the cream is churned. The
cream will ripen Of itself if it is kept
in warm place all this time, at not
less than sixty degrees of temperature.
At the end of this time the surface
will glisten like satin when it IL
stirred, and this is good indication
of its full ripening for the churning.
Otherwise, the cream may be set on
the addition Of the last cream, by mix
ing half pint OF the buttermilk from
the last can, churning to five gallons
of the cream and stirring it we'll ;
then, at temperature of sixty or
sixty-flve degrees the cream will be
ready for churning in twelve hours.
This will yield the fnest-Aavored but
ter, that is fit for the finest tables in
few hours after it is made, or for
some tastes it is churned for every
meal, and eaten as it is chu1ned
Cream thus favored will make very
delicately-f favored butter. New York

RECIPE FOR p1cK11Na BEEF.

There are various recipes for pick
ling beef, but the following is favor
ite one among our Northern farmers: ::
To each gallon of water add one and
one-half pounds of salt, one-half
pound of sugar, and one-half ounce of
saltpeire. In this ratio you can in
crease the pickle to any quantity de-
sired. Put the pickle in kettle and
boil until oil foreign matter rises to
the surface and is skinned off. Then
throw into a tub or clean cask to cool,
and when cold pour it over the beef,
which, of course, must have been pre-
viously closely packed IN the barrels.
The meat must be we'll covered with
pickle and kept down with weight.
The meat should not be packed down
for at least two days after killing, and
during this time 1t is we'll to sprinkle
with about equal parts of salt and
saltpetre, which will remove the sur
face blood and leave the meat fresh
and clean. Store tho meat in as cool
place as you have-the cooler the
better in your climate. New York

UTILIZING THE WASTE.

A good plan whereby farmer may
utilize more waste is to have a spot
set aside into which all tho kitchen
and table waste in the shape of meat
scraps. pieces of bread, uneaten vege-
tables, etc., may be thrown. Heat
this up in the morning with boiling
water, and mix in bran, shorts, prov
ender, or whatever is cheapest and
most abundant on the farm, until the
whole is a crumbly mess, says the
manager of the Poultry Department
of the Canadian Central Experiment
Farm. A small quantity of black and
red pepper should be busted in before
mixing. Let the mixture stand for a
few minutes until partially cooked,
and feed in narrow, clean trough to
the layers in the morning, A light
feed of oats at noon, and liberal ra.
tion of wheat, buckwheat, or other
grain for the evening meal should
bring plenty of eggs.
Each layer should be sent to roost
with full crop to carry her over the
long night fast. 1t is imperative that
green food in the shape of marketable
vegetables, clover hay or lawn clip
pings-the two latter dried in sum.
mer and put away to be steamed for
winter use-should be supplied. II
green ZONES are fed they may be given
in lieu of any OF the regular rations,
reducing the quantity of grain in pro.
portion to the quantity Of bone used.

The ancient historians mention sew
eral instances of the sun "going out"
or failing to shine and give forth it's
usual amount OF heat and light for
periods of time varying in length from
three hours to several months. Ac-
cording to Plutarch the year A B. G.
was one in which the sun was "weak
and pale" for period approximatlng
eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
'several months of diminished sun
light in the year 934 A. D., and, nc
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny
period ended with ''strange and start
ling sky phenomena, such as lond at
mospheric explosions, riffs in the
vaulted canopy of the blue above and
in divers other rare and unaccountable
freaks. In the year 1901, on Sep
tember Goth (See Humboldt's "Cos-
mos'), the sun turned suddenly
black and remained so for three
hours, and did not regain it's normal
condition for several days. Accord
ing to the noted Helmuth's "Solar
Energy" the days of seeming inactiv-
ity on the part of the sun (the days
following the sudden blackening of
the great orb) were noted for peculiar
greenish tinge, and are marked in old
Spanish. French and Italian records
as "the days of the green sum-" Feb

says Cortvza, an old Spanish writer
on astronomy, astrology and kindred
subjects, "the sun appeared to go
suddenly out, causing darkness over
the country for about six hours" In

darkness which the superstitious
writer's of that time attributed to

April and the pigs should be kept
growing until ready for market. Fall
pigs, unless weighing from thirty to
forty pounds when going into winter
quarters, are usually Improbable.
Feed the brood SOW sparingly OF corn
but give her plenty OF bran and mid
dlings. Some feeders argue that a
SOW will do better at narrowing if she
be thin in flesh. This is true if she
has been fed on corn. but if fed as rec
ommended above, she will do much
better by her pigs il in good flesh. A
few roots and an occasional feed of
clover hay are very healthful and will
be enjoyed by the SOW. Care should
be taken not to overfeed her for few
days preceding narrowing and for two
weeks after, as the pigs cannot dispose
of too much milk at that age. But
after that feed the SOW all she will eat
of mixed ration Of corn meal, oat
meal and bran, with ground barley
and middlings for an occasional
change. AS soon as the pigs are old
enough to eat slop they should be
allowed the freedom of pen apart

The depth of water has considerable
effect upon vessels speed, shoal
water retarding her., In some ships,
running at high rate Of speed in
shoal water, the stern, or after-part,
is drawn down very considerably.
This is caused by the water not filling
with sufficient quickness the cavity at
the stern caused by the forward move
ment OF the vessel. This lack of
water at the stern causes the ship to
settle there and be pursued by huge
wave. In one of our small, very fast
ships this settling, or ''squatting," as
it is usually called, was so marked
that the crest of the following wave
actually boiled over the stern and
broke upon the deck, and in some
much larger vessels this water comes
pretty well up towards the deck under
similar circumstances. .-Harper's Mag

THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED,
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted in the

Our Sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infrinities of the Veteran.
(From the Herald, Woodstock, Va.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi Mc1nturff.
He passed through both these wars without
serious wound. The hardships, however,
told seriously on him. for when the grip at
tackled him four years ago it nearly killed
him. Who can look upon the inflrmities of
veteran without feeling of the deepest
sympathy His townspeople saw him con-
fined to his house so prostrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold a knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too. and as he attempted it, he often STUN
bled and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent to be had-but still he suffered on
for four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the ac-
count of cure which had been affected by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm
mediately ordered box and commenced tax
ing them. He says he was greatly relieved
within three days time. The blood found its
way to his fingers, and his hands, which had
been palsied, assumed u natural color, and
he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork
at the table. He has recovered his strength
to such an extent that he is able to chop
wood, shock corn and do his regular work
about his home. He now says he can not
only walk to Woodstock. but can walk across
the mountains. He is able to lift up fifty.
two pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done for others, but knows that they
have done great work for him.
Ie was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praise Of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. M-. McInturff is willing to make aft.
davit to these facts.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine, but
prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner, who produced the most
wonderful results with them. curing all forms
OF weakness arising from watery condition
OF the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of almost every ill to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also a specific for the
trouble peculiar to females. such as suppress
sions. all forms of weakness, chronic consti-
patton, bearing down pains, etc., and in the
case OF men will give speedy relief and effect
permanent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excesses of what
ever nature. They are entirely harmless and
can be given to weak and sicky children

slightest danger Pink Pills are sold by all

The proprietor of the shop is a gen.

you that"
The customer put his hand to his

ing, and had missed the others re-
ply.
'Can'tyo take something off that?"
he asked.
The butcher took pity on him.
