Purlfying peet sugnr.

M. Baudry, the manager Of Rus
sian sugar factory, proposes to purify
beet sugar by single electrolysis. He
has been so successful that he has dis
carded all other methods. He finds
that the electrolytic method gives a re-
duction of so per cent. in the amount of
lime used, elimination of salts Of lime;
reduction from one hour to 35 minutes
in time required for carbonation; more
rapid evaporation and increase of from
20 to 25 per cent, Of daily work Of fac
tory; reduction of coloration of juice
from 100 to %, and complete suppress
sion of fat in carbonation. The filter
press which formerly was too weak is
now too powerful. The process is sim
pie. Lime is added to juice after diff
fusion. 1t is then filtered and electro
lyzed. The consumption of zinc is 30
kilograms per day for 500 tons of beets.

Experiments with Cabbages.

From the Maine station come notes
on experiments in cabbage culture.
Three varieties were compared to test
the effect Of size of seed on the heads.
In two varieties the larger seed was
found to produce much heavier heads
Tying up the outer leaves was found to
have no influence upon the maturity
Of the head, as is popularity supposed,
while it caused marked decrease in
size, and the moisture collecting with
in the leaves almost invariably caused
the heads to decay. Mulching the
plants with swale hay produced heads
slightly larger than were borne by un-
mulched plants used as checks. But
little effect on the size of the heads was
produced by deep cultivation, but
plants so treated appeared to mature
more uniformly than when shallow cul-
tivation was given.

Used For Various Purposes. but Chiefly In
Sweeping.
There are In New York go or moro deal
ers In sawdust. Their high sided wagons,
built especially for the purpose, are famil.
lar 10 all Formerly awdust was carried
In bulk, with an empty barrel for meas
ure surmonnting the load. In delivering
sawdust the driver filed the barrel and
took 1t In and emptied 1t. cawdust was
sold by the barrel. low city ordinance
forbids the handling of sawdust in this
loose manner, to be blown about the
streets, and 1t Is carried In bags, the stand
ard sawdust bag being of the capacity Of a
sugar barrel The driver takes in bag
and empties IL into barrel or leaves a
full bag and takes an empty one.
Sawdust Is used for packing some kinds
of bottled goods, as ink, cologne and mus
tard; II is used to some extent for packing
eggs for retail delivery; 1t is used for some
polishing purposcs, AID In some other
ways, and the aggregate quantity sold for
these purposes Is considerable. But the
great use of sawdust Is In sweeping floors.
For this purpose great quantities are sold,
and much also Is sold to be scattered upon
floors, where 1t Is left to lie, as, for exam
pie, in butcher shops and fish stores. Used
In sweeping, the sawdust Is slightly damp
eped before IL Is spread about. 1t absorbs
the dust and dirt and Is then swept mp,
the dust with it, as the old phrase goes,
without raising q dust" In butcher
shops and grocery stores and other places
where 1t Is left on the floor IT is renewed
as often as may be necessary, perhaps
twice week.
For sweeping purposes sawdust Is used
In a great many places, including all sorts
of stores, both great and small. Some Of
tho great business establishments of the
city use 10 barrels each week, 80 that q
single establishment might use for sweep.
ing purposes 700 or 800 barrels annually.
Sawdust Is sold usually at 26 cents or 90
cents a single barrel, or three barrels fol
30 cents The sawdust expense item in the
great establishments may amount to from
$50 to $75 year.
Sawdust Is sometimes used In sweeping
oarpeted floors. The moistened sawdust Is
scattered about on the carpet and gently
rubbed about with the broom and then
vwept up. Some grocers sell sawdust in
small quantities, cents worth or 10
cents worth.
The sawdust used in this city comes
mostly from box factories. Some con.
sumers prefer fine sawdust, some like
coarse better. They can get either. Some
New York dealers in sawdust sell also in
Brooklyn and elsewhere hereabout. There
is q market for all the sawdust produced
here, and some New York dealers buy In
neighboring places as well. One dealer,
for instance, contracts to take all the saw
dust made in two mills in this city and
takes also the sawdust from mill In
Greenpoint and from another mill In Jer.
sey City. Sometimes the supply in New
York runs short. 1t may be that the fac.
tories shut down or run on less time, and
then the dealer goes to some big lumber
mill up the state and jumps sawdust In
here by the carload. New York Sun.

The st. Nicholas Magazine and several
newspapers, In referring to the recent In.
auguration, announce Major Mckinley a
the twenty fifth president Of the United
States. This IL an error which will
thank you to afford me space TO correct.
The presidential term upon which we have
just entered Is the twenty eighth and will
include the Fifty fifth and Fifty sixth con
gresses. OF the presidents thus far elected
Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monore, jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
Cleveland-were chosen for second terms,
thus making but 20 persons selected to Ill
the high Office Of president. AS that mum
Der includes President Mckinley, IL il
thus evident that he has had only 10 pred.
ecessors elected to the presidential chair.
When we add to these four vice presidents
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson and Arthur
who succeeded to the office, it will be
found that previous to the present 4th OF
March it has had but e3 incumbents. Con
sequently MAJOR Mckinley is the twenty.
fourth, and not the twenty fifth, president
of the United States. 1t Is interesting tc
add that, of the 20 presidents elected, but
two were voted for three times. These
were President jackson, who, though he
obtained plurality, failed in securing q
majority Of electoral votes on his first ap
peal and had to give way to John Quincy
Adams as the choice of the house of repre-.
sentatives, and President Cleveland, who
was defeated upon his second appeal fol
public favor.-M. A. In New York Times

Fill bottle or common glass With urine
and let IL stand twenty -four hours; sedt
ment or settling indicates diseased con

that the meeting is the best ever held

manifested and instruction given
Every exercise had a practical side
There was very little theory. Much
of this is due to Miss Finch, who is

and delighted everyone with his plain

1t is hoped teachers will carry The
new ideas impaired into their severa,
schools and put them into practica
operation.

We notice complaints in some sec.
tons of an advance in the price OIL
sugar. There is cause for the adj
vance but it rests either with the job
Der or retailer. Here in Martins
burg, graduated sugar is retailed at
s cents and the parties selling at that
price are not losing money. They
know how and where to buy. 1t is
to be expected that certain tradesrne n
will advance the price OF their wares
as they did after the passage Of the
Mckinley law. They then sowed the
wind which returned as a cyclone in
the form of the Wilson bill. The
people will not be so easily fooled this
time.

Many of the ideas advanced in the
Institute this week, and accepted with
gladness, have heretofore been sug-
gested by the Herald, only to be met
by the slurring remark-"Oh, he is
trying to run the schoolsl" Such
was not the case. We clearly saw the
needs of the schools and have honestly
striven to remedy the evils that exist.
1t is not egotism that prompts this
statement, but wish to clinch the
thoughts that have found Judgment
in the minds OF teachers and school
officers. Let us have an earnest effort
all along the line and give the schools
a real boost.
