The method used by the best sugar
reflneries is substantially as follows
The raw sugar is dissolved in large cis-
terms on the ground floor, enough hot
water being added to produce specific
gravity of 1.25. The solution is then
drawn through connecting pipe hav-
ing q coarse wire strainer into large
pumps, by which it is pumped into the
highest story of the building, usually
the seventh or eighth. 1t there passes
into vessels heated by steam coils to a
temperature of about 2l0 F. Milk Of
lime is added to the solution in these
pans for the purpose of neutralizing any
acid which it may contain. From these
pans the liquid passes down to the next
floor, where it is filtered through Sc
ries of bags, each made of two thick
nesses of cloth, an outer one of coarse
and an inner one of fine cotton. The
bags are inclosed in boxes to prevent
cooling. After leaving these the sirup
is run through filters of boneblack,
which absorbs. all the coloring matter
left in it, After leaving these it is
pumped into vacuum pans, large vessels
heated by steam and exhausted by air
pumps. The pressure being thus re-
duced, the liquid is boiled at lower
and lower temperature until, at 140 de-
grees, evaporation is complete and the
sirup rapidly crystallizes into sugar.
This is the process by which the best
white sugar is made, while poorer quail

UNCLE NOSES PRAYER.

He Prayed ElOquently, but Gestured =
little Too Forcibly.
Uncle Nose came down from the
country to visit his son, who worked in
the livery stable. Uncle Nose was a
deacon in a little country church and
was noted for his long, fervent prayers,
but when his son Ike took him to the
colored church in the city and when he
heard the organ and gazed upon the
we'll dressed darkies he felt as if the
Lord was long ways off. Uncle Nose
had met the parson the day before, and
what was his surprise when that person
said during services, "We'll all join in
pra'r wild Brother Nose Smith" Uncle
Nose went down on his knees and threw
his deep voice and soul in q prayer
which shook the rafters. AS he came to
the close his old white head was shak-
ing and his voice was bringing each
saint and sinner to the shouting point:

DECISION IN H1RscH CASE.

The decision Is q very important one as
it settles question not heretofore settled
judIcially.
During the trial of Stephen Il. Cole of
Putnam for violation of the liquor law In
Willimantic In May, 1896, Mr.. Hirsch as
deputy internal revenue collector was
summoned to court and commanded to
produce the original application for a
government license as filed out and sign
ed by Cole. Mr.. Hirsch appeared in court
and went on the witness stand. but when
asked to produce the application signed
by Cole he refused, and gave as his reason
that he was acting under tie instruction
of his superior officer, Collector Byxbee.
Judge George w. Wheeler, who was hold
ing court, Immediately ordered Hirsch in
to the custody of the sheriff and commit
ted him to Brooklyn jail for contempt OF
court.
Hirsch was of course soon released on
a writ of habeas corpus, and the hearing
on that was before Judge Nathaniel Ship
man at Hartford, which resulted In the
superior court being sustained and the
dismissal of the habeas corpus proceed
ings. United States District Attorney
Comstock at once appealed to the United
States court of appeals. The hearing on
the appeal took place in New York City
January 81, and the decision of that court
sustains both Judge Wheeler of the su-
perior court and Judge Shipman of the
United States cicurit court. Judge Ship
mans decision in the circuit court is as
follows =
Circuit court of the United States for
the district of Connecticut: In the matter
of the petition Of Heyman j. Hirsch, oi
the writ of habeas corpus: Upon the peti-
tion of Heyman j. Hirsch and the writ OF
habeas corpus thereupon issued, and re-
turned of said writ by Charles B. Pomeroy,
sheriff of Windham county.
"Now, after hearing Charles w. Com
stock, Esq, United States district attor.
ney, in support of an application for the
discharge of said Hirsch from custody
and the evidence in support Of said appli.
cation, said Hirsch having been produced
before the court In obedience of said writ
and after hearing John L. Hunter, Esq.
states attorney for Windham county, lr
opposition to said application, it Is order
ed, that said writ be dismissed without
COSTS"
1t is not likely that Mr.. Hirsch will be
again imprisoned, as the case upon which
he was summoned has been disposed Of
and the end sought has been accomplish

THE QUICK HORSE.
An O2tgrOwth of Improved AmeriO.
Methods of Fire Fighting.

An O2tgrowth of Improved Americas
Methods of Fire Fighting.
In st. Nicholas there is an article on
''The Quick Horse by f. S. Dellen-
baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod
ern fire department Mr.. Dellenbaugh
says: It is only within recent years that
quick horses have been developed and
appreciated and admired, and the poet
has not yet attempted to sing the praises
of this more prosaic but noble animal.
Yet, after all, to one who carefully ex-
amines the matter the quick horse ap-
pears to have quite as good, if not a bet
ter, claim upon our admiration and
sympathy and encouragement. The
swift horse wins the race, and in these
days he may cause considerable money
70 change hands. in which there is GER
tainly nothing that is commendable.
But the quick horse write about saves
life, saves property and under modern
conditions Of life is essential to our
safety and general we'll being. He is
the result indirectly Of poor building
an outgrowth Of our skillful American
fire departments, which could not now
exist without him.
Not SO very many years ago when q
fire broke out everybody far and near
began to run and especially began to
yell, and the volunteer fremen of that
time, being in the service for the excite
ment of it, joined in the yell and start
ed out the old hand engine from it's SOL
emn repose, while the foreman running
ahead shouted innumerable orders
hoarsely through his trumpet, to the
great delight of hundreds of small boys
painting to keep up in the glorious race.
The fire-that was altogether SEQ
ondary matter, and when they all final
lyigot there they went to work with
more or less efficiency. There was a
great deal of fun in the business, but
fires were not extinguished. Our cities
in the early days were not built to pre-
vent fires, but seemed. if anything, ra-
ther built to encourage them.
In France we may well be amused as
we watch the pompier corps trundle it's
bathtub on wheels to the scene of the
conhagration and deliberately fill its
apartments with water dipped up from
the gutter, whence it is thrown by a
little pump upon the flames, because we
know much of the architecture there is
solid, and if the fire is not extinguished
it will soon burn itself out. But in our
country mere spark may in few Sec
onds become a devouring furnace and
destroy house after house and block aft
or block. Many buildings are tinder
boxes, and our dry climate adds to their
infammability, while the ever present
careless or lazy workman by improper
construction gives the fire its first op
portunity.

ANCIENT WARFARE.
How an English Castle Was Attacked In
the Fifteenth Century.

How an English Castle Was Attacked In
the Fifteenth Century.
Sir John Fastolf had by his will de-
vised his castle, callsd Caister, to John
PASTOR. AS forti1ication,. it was an
excellent defense against foreign invad-
ers, and as residence it was worthy of
royalty itself. In fact, the Duke of
Gloster, afterward Richard III, ct one
time contemplated making it his abode.
While PASTOR was trying to establish
his title in the courts the Duke OF Nor
folk purchased a pretended claim TO it,
and sought to gain possession by force.
The PASSIONS did not propose to yield,
though the duke was then probably the
most pow erful noble in England, and
John PASTOR was his liveried servant
Four professional soldiers were sent up
from London to aid in the defense.
They are described as ''provyd men,
coming in WEIR and can vel schot0
both gonnes and crossbowes and devysa
bolwerkys and keep wacche and warde.
They be saddle and wei advysed, saving
on Of them, whyche is ballyd (bald) but
yit he is no brawler Ye shall fynd them
gentylmanly comfortable fellowes, and
that they dare abyde by ther taklyng. I"
Young John PASTOR, aided by these
four and by handful of personal friends
and followers. held the castle for several
weeks against siege conducted by the
dukes army of 5000 men. By the
terms of the final surrender the besieged
were allowed their lives and goods,
horses and harness, and respite for I5
days, in which to go where they pleased.
They reported that they were forced to
surrender by ''lak of vitayl. gonepow-

BEAUTIFUL MAGIC LAKE.
The Present Which an Earthquake Mad
tn TenneRaee

The Present Which an Earthquake Made
TO Tennessee.
Reelfoot lake, which lies mostly in
Obion county and partly in Lake, is the
largest sheet of water in Tennessee, it
being 40 miles in length and from to
8 in width.
This lake, which evokes rapturous
comments from even the most indiffer-
emit observer, was formed in few min
utes by an earthquake, which, accord
ing to the best authorities, occurred be-
tween 2 and 8 O'Clock on Saturday
morning, Nov. Is, 1911. There were
two terrific shocks about 80 minutes
apart and many lighter ones between
and after. The earth rocked violently,
q deafening noise like thunder struck
terror to the ear, the atmosphere was
heavily laden with something like
smoke and vivid and almost constant
flashes Of lightning illuminated the sur
rounding country, and in less time than
it takes to write it thousands of acres
Of land had sunk far below the level of
the mighty Mississippi.
The Father of Waters rushed into
the sunken country, and the suction
was SO great that for three hours the
river ran up stream, and RATS and boats
below the lake were torn from their
moorings and went whirling into the
seething, maddening vortex. AS soon
as the newly formed lake was filed the
river went majesticaIly on its usual
course, leaving to Tennessee one of the
finest fishing resorts in the country,
which is annually the Mecca of thou
sands of sportsmen.- Cincinnati Com

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
sediment OF settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate,
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great k idDey remedy, fulfls
every wish n relieving pain in the back !,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every partof
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain In
passing it, or bad effects following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night to
urinate The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root Is soon realized. It
stands the highest for it's wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. II you
