beckoning the man to come to her. As
she foresaw, the mans instincts made
him start toward the window. and the
quick movement to save woman in
distress saved his life.
The express rushed past; the man
stood still in bewilderment; the woman
waved her hand in token of her safety
and as it slowly dawned upon the poor
fellow that she had saved his life. he
dropped his dinner pail, pulled of his
cap and saluted her. after which he
crossed himself. picked up hts tin pail
and proceeded homeward as far from
the railroad track as he could get.

three lemons, as appetite Graves, in as

A Faulty Rule.

There is citizen in this town who
has always experienced the greatest
difficulty in fitting their proper names
and identity to acquaintance whose
faces he knows perfectly well. So
marked is this failing that he has often
been placed in exceedingly awkward
situations, even with friends whom he
has known for several years. Some
time ago he hit upon what he consid-
cred rather ingenious plan for find
ing out the name of the man to whom
he was talking After one or two safe

Of confidence in his infallibility. Fear

A Neglected Pain.

One of the belseficient arrangements
of Divine Providence is pain. 1t is the
signal Of danger, the telegraphic alarm
from the outposts. intimating the pres
ence of an enemy Without the protec-
ton of pain man warming his feet
might burn them off. and the human
system might be destroyed ii it were
not for the protection afforded by pain.
Many people neglect the intimations
Of pain; they use narcotics to deaden
the sense Of pain; they treat pains
warnings as if they were of no account.
and by and by, when it is too late, they
find that they have done themselves
mischief which they can never repair.
Every pain has it's use: and if we are
to enjoy health we must pay attention
to the admonitions Of pain. Most
pains, II taken in season, can be
promptly relieved. Rubbing, heating,
bathing, and similar means. frequently
bring immediate relief, and If pains are
obstinate the effort to relieve them
should be the more persistent; but on
no account should we treat pain with
Indifference: it is like an alarm bell: it
is a warning note uttered for our pro-
lection and for our safety. We should
thank God for pains, which caution us.
warn us, and protect us; and should
Immediately seek to remove the causes
which produce pains. and 50 guard our

MAKING BEET SUGAR.
Description Of the Process from the
Field to the Granulated Product.

Description of the Process from the
Field to the Granulated Product.
First the beets are brought in by the
farmers, says the Manufacturer, and
deposited in large sheds with V-shaped
bottoms, which are connected with the
factory by means Of channels, through
which q moderate flow Of water carries
chine. BY means of a spiral the beets
are tumbled about, washed and carried
on until they drop into an elevator,
which carries them to the top Of the
building. where they pass through an
automatic weigher and are sliced in
such manner as to open up the pores
OF the beet as far as possible. The su-
gar beet Is very similar to the honey
comb and in its little cells Is secreted
the sweet matter, so that in slicing 1t Is
desirable to open up as many Of these
littA cells as possible. Hence the ne
cessfty of having the knives sharp, so
that the cells may not be ruptured, but
clean cut AS these slices come from un-
der the cutter they are put in what Is
known as diffusion battery. In this
battery the sugar Is extracted by soak
ing the sliced beets in water. Warm
water Is turned into the contents Of a
large jar holding several tons Of sliced
beets. The water circulates through
the mass Of cossettes (the name given
to the slices Of beets) and passes out
through the bottom by means of pipe

Again the statement is repeated that
yawning. besides being healthy func
ton generally, has very salutary eff
feet In complaints of the pharynx and
Eustachian tubes. According to the
results Of late investigations, yawnine
is the most natural form of respiratory
exercise. bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles of the
chest and neck. 1t is recon-
mended that every person should
have a good yawn, with stretching of
the limbs, morning and evening, for the
purpose of ventilating the lungs and
tonifying the muscles Of respiration.
Throat and ear troubles are sensibly
relieved by this form Of gymnastics.
