Let Home Stand First.

Let home stand frat. No matter
how high your ambition, no matter
how far your talents or YOUR influence
may reach, before everything else
build up true home! Be not its
slave; be its minister. Let it not
be enough that it is swept and gar
nished, that its silver is brilliant, that
it's food is delicious, but feed the love
in it. Then from its walls shall come
forth the true woman and the true
man. What honor can be greater
than TO found such q home? What
dignity higher than to reign its hon.
ored mistress? What is the ability to
speak from public platform. or the
wisdom that can command seat on
the judges bench, compared to that
which can insure and preside over a
true home? To be the guiding star,
the ruling spirit in such a home is
higher than to rule an empire.

Arkansas Farmers Trick,

A fact well known to farmers is that
the rows of grains on an ear of corn is
always even in number. There may be
eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or sixteen
rows. but never nine, eleven, thirteen
or fifteen. This fact and the knowl-
edge of it cost several farmers very
dearly The Atchison Champion says
that a farmer who raises a small crop
of corn, and who has always been re-
garded as of rather weak intellect, con-
cluded that he saw a chance to make
some bets. Early in the season he care
fully scraped from a dozen ears of
corn just formed one of the rows. The
corn ripened and the remaining rows
grew together, so as to hide the evil
dence of the one removed having
existed. Then the farmer offered to bet
either that the others could not or that
he could find ears of corn with odd
rows. He had no trouble in getting
some very good bets on the latter prop
ostion. but, of course. none on the
first. He then found the ears he had
fixed, and made as much money on
the dozen ears as he did on the entire
crop of corn. Now, any suggestion of
corn with odd rows is provocatiOn for
4 fight in that neighborhood.

Military Signal Torch.

A new torch for military signaling
consists of an asbestos ball in n wire
cage, ut the end of long staff. Just be-
low the asbestos ball is copper drip
cup. The ball is Dipped into Il bucket
of kerosene oil, and is set on fire at a
little bonfire, which is kept burning
during the operation. AS fast as the
oil burns out, the torch is dipped in the
oil, so that the signalling can go on as
long as the kerosene lasts. The torch
is extinguished with n copper snuffer.
The old form of torch was Il large cop
per cylinder, with an ordinary wick
at the end of a staff. The cylinder eon-
tanning the oil could he used for only Il
few minutes at time, because it be.
came heated and caused the oil to ex-
plode. The new torch gives out a much
larger flame, which can be seen with
the naked eye for seven miles, and
through field glass for twelve miles
on clear nights, and at a good distance
in rain or mist

Which Would He Ber

Much amusement was caused recent
ly at an inquest held at u certain town
in Maine, according to Answers:
After the usual swearing in of the
jurors one of them arose from his seat,
and with much dignity protested
against sitting as Il juror, as he was
managing clerk for firm of solicitors,
and could not waste his valuable time
at an inquest.
After making his protest, the Cor,
oner, turning to his clerk, said: ''Mr.
Soandso, kindly hand me 'Jervis, .
(the book of authority on juries. y
and fixing the juror steadfastly, he
said, upon referring to 'Jervis' I
find that no persons are exempt from
sitting as jurors, except idiots, imbe-
Giles and lunatics. Under which
heading do you claim exemption"

THE BRIGHT LITTLE GIRL.

Her blue eyes they beam and they twin
kle,
Hxr lips have made smiling more fair;
On cheek and on brow there's no wrinkle,
But thousands of curls in her hair.
She's little-you don't wish her taller;
Just half through the teens is her age;
And baby or lady to call her
Were something to puzzle sage!
Her walk is far better than dancing;
She speaks as another might sing;
And all by an innocent CHANGING
Like lambkins and birds in the spring.
Unskilled in the airs of the city,
She's perfect in natural grace;
She's gentle, and truthful, and witty,
And neer spends thought on her face.
Her face. with the fine glow that's in it,
AS fresh as an apple tree bloom
And. o, when she comes, in a minute,
Like sunbeams, she brightens the room.
AS taking in mind as in feature,
How many will sigh for her sake!
I wonder, the sweet little creature,
What sort of wife she would make.

HOW KEROSENE IS REFINED.
Something About Remarkable A. .er'
can Industry.

Something About a Remarkable Al .er.
ican Industry.
How many housekeepers, asks the
Chicago Tribune, as they fill their
lamps with kerosene oil or their sum
mer stoves with gasoline, have any
idea how these oils are made? And
yet few miles from Chicago, at Whit
the world.
Naphtha, benzine, gasoline or kero-
Gene, the last often called coal or IL
Illuminating oil, belong TO the same fam
lily. The three first named being lighter
oils, do not require nearly so much
handling to bring them to perfection as
the kerosene. This. of course, is easy
to believe, but when it is said that
from the same crude oil, after all the
lighter oils have been distilled out, wax
is made so closely resembling the pro-
duet of the bee as TO deceive even an
expert, and that it is used in chewing
gum factories, candle factories, iaun-
dries and even the candy factories, one
is often met with polite look of doubt
or an incredulous shrug of the shoul-
dcrs. Yet it is so. 1t is possible to get
yet further, and say that hundreds of
homes in Whiting and in Chicago will
be made comfortable this winter by the
refuse that adheres to the bottom and
SidcsS of the stills after even the
wax has been pressed out. This refuse
makes Il good coke, is easily lighted,
and is warmer, cleaner and cheaper
than coal. Hundreds of tons are re-
moved from the stills daily before they
are charged" again, and hundreds Oe
those who use this fuel do not know
that it was once crude oil, dug in the
Ohio fields. and piped on to Whiting.
The carbon used in electric lights is
also made from this coke. Nothing is
wasted
As the most common the kerosene Oil
is perhaps the rlost interesting of the
products. After leaving the crude
stills it appears again in "sweetenins
stills or in the compound cylin-
ders,' which perform the same work
rs the sweetening stills, but in newer
invention, and is patented by an out
slider, who allows only forty i'll each
refinery. The 'sweeteners'' form an
important factor in the refining Of
Ohio oil. Owing to the compound"
before mentioned, and the continuous
friction of the immense wire brushes,
which keep the oil in a mad whirl, it
loses much of its bad OdOr. 1t is again
vapored off, cooled in the condenser
boxes and passed off into the ''steal.
stills for the next process.
In the steam stills it is treated just
the same as in the two prev iouS pro-
cesses, with the addition of a washing
Ivy steam from perforated pipes passing
through it. 1t is 'vapored" off as be-
fore, and now one would suppose that
it was ready for use. Not quite. The
Kerosene oil now passes into the agi-
tator for the final process. The agita-
tor is a funnel-shaped tank in which
the oil is treated with acid and beaten
and blown about by machine called
blower and washed by torrents of
water until it roars like the lake in 4
stoIm. Every particle Of foreign mat
ter is tins expelled. 1t Is then pumped
off into the storage tanks for shipping.
