Gas From Saw1ust.

The not uninteresting distinction is
claimed for the town of Deseronto, in
Canada, where there are several ex-
tensive lumber mills, of being partially
lighted by gas made from sawdust. In
carrying out this plan, as stated, the
sawdust is charged in retorts which are
heated by wood fire, the gas from the
retorts passing into series of coils,
and thence into the purifiers, which
are similar to those used for coal gas.
Lime is the principal purifying agent
employed, and when it passes out of
the retorts the gas possesses an odor
much less disagreeable than that of
ordinary lighting gas, and resembles
somewhat that of the smoke from a
fire of green wood or leaves. The
works i'm use are small, turning out
daily about nineteen thousand cubic
feet of gas, for the production of which
;Jantity some two tons of sawdust are
required, and man and boy furnish
all the labor that is needed for the
purpose The gas in an ordinary
burner gives an illumination of about
eighteen candle power and the best
quality comes from resinous woods.

A Hog Orchestra.

During the reign of Louis NJ. OF
France there was attached 20 his court
Abbot de Baigne, man of consider
able wit The abbot was somewhat
musicalIy inclined. and delighted the
court with inventions of odd musical
instrum nts. One day the King, after
having enjoyed u hearty laugh over
one of these curious contTiyancCs, and
desiring 10 battle this musical genius,
commanded him 60 produce harmon
ious sounds from the cries Of hogs.
This seemed an impossibility 70 the
king, and he prepared himself TO enjoy
the discontinue of the abbot. Much
10 his surprise, however, the abbot
readily agreed to produce them. All he
required was a sum of money, upon
the receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard in the way of musical
atrOcity.
He secured the country and secured
a large number of hogs, trying their
voices n to pitch and quality, and fin
ally, having fully satisfied himself, he
arranged the animals in a sort of a
pavilion richly decorated. The day of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion prepared
for something, but greatly in doubt IS
TO the success OF the abbot with Tie
hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and much TO the surprise and
delight of the king they commenced TO
cry harmoniously and in good tune,
rendering an air that was fairly reccg-
nized. The abbot had arranged a
series of stops that were connected with
the hogs, and upon pulling enc Of
them out caused spike to prick the
hog it connected with, making him
squeal his note. The rest was easy, from
pulling out the different stops he pro
duced the tune.-ROU3d Table.

snapping Turtles.

Two months ago a crowd Of c. al

their thrOats. Then they were turned

hours. The crowd OF miners watch

after midnight, when the turtles, each

Which Was Right.

\ senator of the United States, man
who has been in public life for many
years, and who has never been regard
ed rs of hasty or belligerent temper,
sometimes narrates to his friends an
incident that amuses them 10y its Un-
likeness to anything they would have
expected from him.
He was travelling on German rail-
way, and was one Of three persons who
We're locked in small compartment,
which had two windows.
At one of the windows sat the SEN
atOr, while at the other sat a big mus
tached, ''warlike" man, apparently
some member of the resident nobility.
The American had his window open,
and was gazing at the landscape and
smiling the air, when all at once the
man with the soldierly mustache
rose, stepped forward, and without a
word of apology, put down the
window.
The Senator was sastonished, of course;
but what could he say? There are some
kinds of insolence which it is hard to
know how To deal with.
However, the American statesman
rose to the occasion. Instead of undo
ing what the German had done, he
stepped to that gentleman's seat and
put his window up.
Whether this was in all respects a
proper thing to do, is point as to
which opinions may differ. One thing
is certain; it was now the second mans
turn to be astonished. His mouth re-
mained shut, and his window remain

If the batter for Yorkshire puJiings,
fritters or batter cakes is made several
hours before it is wanted, the hour will
have chance to swell and render
the batter much lighter.
Kerosene oil may be entirely remov-
cd from light carpets, rugs or WOODEN
goods by covering the oil spot thickly
with buckwheat -four and letting it
remain twelve hours; then brushing it
off and applying fresh -four until the
oil has disappeared.
Tortoise shell or ebony toilet articles
with silver decorations require 10 5c
treated very carefully when they are
cleaned, as ammonia and silver powder
will rain the finish on shell or ebony.
Small blunt sticks covered with cha
mois come for cleaning such articles,
