Aluminium.

In obtaining alumina from clay, ac-
cording to Heibling, supposing clay Of
a known strength in the alumina, for
each molecule Of the latter there is in
corporated with the clay three molecules
of ammonium sulphate and an almost
equal weight Of neutral potassium sui
plate. One molecule of the latter is
theoretically sufficient, and the whole is
well worked up and made into hollow
bricks, these to be baked at 270 degrees
to $50 degrees. The ammonium sulphate
is then decomposed into acid ammonium
sulphate and ammoniacal gas, which
may be collected in condenser. The
acid of the ammonium sulphate is first
thrown upon the neutral potassium sui
plate, which becomes acid sulphate,
and the latter at this temperature, in
presence of alumina and clay, is neu-
tralized by the alumina, forming double
aluminium and potassium sulphate-i.
e., alum. The bricks are then extracted
by methodic ixiviation, and the silica
may be used for cement The alum is
freed from iron by disqualification, and
the solution may be treated for the pre-
cipitation of the alumina by means of
the ammonia which has been distilled
off. To obtain the alumina in granu-
lated state it is spread ont upon stages
in tower traversed from top to bottom
by the hot moist ammonia obtained on
baking the bricks.

BROOM HANDLES.

Interesting Information About an Indus
try of Considerable Magnitude.
There is but small amount of wood
in broom, but SO many millions Of
these implements are used every year
that the consumption of wood for broom
handles is considerable item. While it
would have been almost impossible to
sell broom handle made Of heavy hard
wood a few years ago, at present the re-
verse is true.
The manufacturer prefers hard wood
because it does not require so large a
bolt, can be turned down smaller and
yet retain sufficient strength and can be
ornamented more cheaply and artistical-
~. Broom swith hard wood handles sell
more readily and do not deteriorate in
appearance like the soft wood handles
Any kind of inexpensive hard wood,
such as beech, birch, maple or ash,
makes acceptable handles, while springy
woods like elms are not salable, be-
cause one essential of good broom is a
straight handle.
The manufacture of broom handles
can only be made profitable when the
timber runs largely clear. In the eastern
states the timber waste in making broom
handles exceeds so per cent, while in
the southwest it is usually less than %
per cent. There are four factories in
Amsterdam, N. Y, one of which has a
capacity of 1900 finished brooms day.
They use hard wood handles from the
south and west and get them for less
than the bolts ready for the lathe can be
furnished from native hardwood.
The handles are turned green and
dried afterward. The large end on which
the brush is wired must be thoroughly
dry, or the broom will work loose. The
drying of the upper part of the handle is

BORROWING TROUBLE.
How Some Persons Make Pastoral Work .
Burden TO Their Pastors.

HOW some FereOnS MAKE Fastcrol WOrk .
Burden to Their Pastors.
Several we'll known clergymen Of this
city were chatting together at the close
Of ministerial gathering a few days
ago, when one Of them remarked that
one of the hardest things he had to con-
tend with in his work as pastor was
the disposition Of many members Of his
church to borrow trouble.
ST can nearly always find some way
to comfort persons suffering from pres
emit troubles, said the minister, "but I
am always discouraged when / find a
parishioner worrying over some antici.
pated trouble that will probably never
materialize
"That is my experience, too, remark
ed another Of the group, "and had an
amusing example Of it in my own house
not long ago. I went into my study aft
or breakfast one morning and was as
tonished to find one of the servants sit
ting ON the floor in front Of the CRATE
fire, crying and moaning as if her heart
would break.
"'Why. Mary, said I, what in the
world is the matter with you?
"'Oh, sir, she answered. L got to
thinking, sir-boohoo that suppose I
should get married, sir--boohoo land
should have fine baby boy, sir-boo-
hoo land he should grow big enough to
walk, straightforward he should get
in front of fire like this, sir-boohoo-
hoo and should fall into it and be
burned to death, sir, whatever would /
do, sir, and how would I feel sir, and
then the tears and walls came so fast
she couldn't speak at ALL
Now" continued the minister,
show could I comfort a person who bor-
rowed trouble like that? I certainly
couldn' do it trying to convince the girl
she would never be married, and SO /
simply made no effort to console her,
but told her to SO to her room and stay
there until she had recovered her lost
wits. New York Herald.

Long Sentences.

Ex-senator Evarts was given, in the
preparation Of his speeches and opin-
ions, to exceedingly long and involved
though perfectly lucid sentences. This
gave rise to more or less jocular criti-
cism on the part Of the press. Some one
mentioned it to Evarts one day. His eye
twinkled as he said: eyes, know there
are two classes Of people who are very
much opposed to long sentences; one is
telegraph operators, and the other is
criminals. - 5n

Thank SgiVing.

Those who have gone out from the
parental roof-tree, whether for a longer
or shorter time, think of that place so
dear to them many times a day, it may
be, yet the remembrance is more vivid
on the annual day of homecoming. and
their desire to visit home is more in
tense on Thanksgiving day.
The proclamation of president or gov
ernor may add nothing to the sacredness
of the day or the charm of the occasion.
yet no New Englander, hampered
though he may be with cares and labors
manifold and perplexing, will willingly
stay away from the family gathering on
that day set apart by the executive
authorities of Nation and State for
thanksgiving and praise.
The day loses none of its attractions
AS years silver the hair or take the elias
ITCHY from the step. Old and young en-
iov il and look forward to its coming
with bright anticipation, the young with
greater anticipation, it may be, but all
with pleasure.
A good dinner is necessary to a proper
observance of the day, but this feature
is often carried to the extreme, and our
advice to the thrifty housewife who has
an ambition to serve good dinner is to
avoid too great a multiplicity of rich
dishes. The inevitable turkey must of
course be the centre of attractions among
the edibes spread upon the Thanksgv-
ing table, but the pies and puddings,
cakes and sauces may be reduced to the
minimum. This suggestion we make in
cidentally, without being sanguine of its
extensive adoption.
