and tits only allowed to remain in the
state of molasses when no more sugar
can possibly be squeezed from it.
There are in this refinery hot rooms
filled with great jars Of molasscs,
which are left for weeks in order that
they may granulate into sugar. What
remains after all the sugar possible has
been taken out is sold for l cent and
upwards per gallon. Cheap, isn't it?
One cent gallon for molasses. 1T is
sold so cheaply, in fact, that it does
not pay to put it in barrels. for the
barrels would be. worth more than the
syrup they contain. so it is carried
frem one part of the country to the
other in tank cars, like coal oil, and is
bought largely in bulk. There arc, Of
course, different grades of molasses,
and am told that much New Orleans
molasses is made direct from the cane,
and, of course, brings much higher
prices than the refuse of the sugar re-
fnery.
A great change, however, is going
on in sugar making throughout this
whole section. The sugar kings of
the days before the war have disap-
peared. The old sugar mill, which
used to run by horse power, is thing
of the past, and the sugar of to-day is
produced after as careful business
methods as those of making iron and
steel. A great many men from the
West, East and Middle States have
succeeded to the ownership of the su-
gar plantations. A number Of the es-
tates have been bought up by corpora
tions, and the great sugar landlords
grow less in number every year.
In 1890 there were 1:274 sugar pro-
ducers. L am told that there are now
less than 500, and like all great bust
nesses, the sugar seems to be going
into the form of trust. This is not
so much so in regard to sugar planters
as to sugarmakers. The big refneries
all buy cane, and the small planter of
the future will sell his cane to the re-
6neries. A large part Of the God
chaux cane is purchased Of small
planters, and the managers of the re-
fnery here told me that the planters
were getting all the money out of the

For Lockjaw.

In case of nail or other sharp in
strument being stuck in the foot Of
human or animal, and lockjaw is
threatened, take bucket of unleached
wood ashes, put in tub, and pour on
two buckets of warm water, stir well,
and place the wounded foot in the
mixture. Relief will be felt immedi-
ately. Let remain an hour or so, if
necessary. Only yesterday relieved
an old lady by this recipe, who was
suffering intensely from nail wound
in the foot. Another remedy is to
burn flannel rag under the foot, but
the latter applies to any cut that is

How he Would Pull a Tooth.

"We have some queer experiences
down here in these railroad yards.
said Jack Kendall, few days ago.
"Some are laughablc, some are path
etic, and some would sound like fish
stories. if we were to tell them. Here
is one of the latter kind, for instance
(the narrator, Mr.. j. B. Kendall, is
the tall, goodnatured yardmastcr, who
presides over the freight yards Of the
Iron Mountain Railway at Lcspcrancc
street, and his listeners were railroad
men, like himselD
eve have fellow named Joe down
there whose antics have made me
laugh more times than once, ran
Mr.. Kendall's story. ''Not so long
ago Joe was bothered with one of
those Jumping frog toothachcs. He
lay awake at night with the pain, and
it bothered him all day. Some Of the
fellows advised him to go up to a
dentist and have the tooth pulled.
One morning. when it bothered him
worse than ever, he made up his mind
to undertake the trip to the dentist.
But Joe is a chicken hearted fellow,
and half way along the route his tooth
stopped aching. When he got back
to the yards the ache returned. We
laughed at him and called him COW
ard, and then someone suggested that
he had better tie a string around the
tooth, like mother used to do, and
get it pulled by slamming door with
the string around the knob. Joe
thought awhile, and, feeling Of the
tooth, came to the conclusion that we
didn't have door strong enough down
there to pull that monster out. He
pondered the matter, and hit upon a
more effective plan. He got small
sized piece Of cord, waxed it good and
hard, tied it around the tooth, and
wrapped it around the coupler of a
freight car, the last Of an outward
bound train. 1t would jerk the old
tooth out the moment it began to
start, schemed Joe.
"Well, every time a whistle blew,
Joe jumped in the air. He got winter
and chillier around the gills than a
corpse, and finally when the train did
start off, Joe ran along with it. 1t
wasn't difficult thing to do at first,
for freights move slow in the begin
ming but after awhile, when the train
got down towards Carondelet, and Joe
didn't have the heart to stand back to
get the jerk, he had to lope along like
a jack-rabbit.
''Some of the boys saw him and they
guyed him numerically. The first
time the train came to halt Joe bor-
rowed knife and cut that string.
He is still going around with that
tooth, trying to keep it plugged up
with tobacco, and starting towards the
dentists when it gets to aching too
savagely F; but the fear Of the dentists s
forceps kills the pain-for half hour,
anyhow. "-ot. Louis Republic.

Gold From the Sea.

A stock company has been formed
in Maine for the separation OF the
gold and silver which ocean water con-
tains from the brine, and if the pro-
cess, which is the basis for the forma-
tion of the company, is as success
full as the organizers of the company
firmly believe it, is, the investment
should be infinitely better than a few
corner lots in Klondike, says the
Springfield (Mass) Republican.
Sea water has long been known to
contain small per cent Of gold and
silver, one grain Of gold and two of
silver to every ton Of sea water. Ex-
periments have proved that this pro-
portion exists in every part Of the sea,
as we'll in midocean as at the mouths
of the rold-laden Alaskan rivers. The
location of the machines depends
merely on convenience. The exact
means by which the gold and silver
are separated from the water is kept
secret. 1t is the discovery of q Bap-
tist clergyman, who is also a chemist
This clergyman is said to have
made machine which would take
the precious metal out of the sea
water by merely letting the water run
through it; and to have taken 81 800
in gold out Of the ocean near the Isle
of Wight with his first machine. Sew
eral other experiments have been
made with equal success.
Faith was taken in the enterprise
and stock company was formed with
q capital of $1,000, which is allpaid
in. Contracts have been let in New
York fer the construction of 100 Of
the machines, and the first gold gath
cring point will be Lubec, Me. No
steam or electric plant is required to
run the machines. They are depend
cnt upon tidewater for their opera
tions, aud for this reason they are
economical. All that is required is to
set the machines up and let the tide
water run through them. When the
flowing tide comes in and gets at it's
full, part of the water is shut up be-
hind dam and released through gates
when the tide goes out, so that it will
flow through the gold gathering ma
chimes set ready to catch the metal.
All that is required is to have watch
men to look after the machines. It's
claimed that the gold taken out is of
sufficient purity to be exchanged at
the treasury for coin.
1t is estimated by the members of
the company that one machine will
take out between 81 and 50 every ~
hours, and the rate at which the COM
pany will get rich depends upon the
number of machines they can get to
work. The managers say they do not
intend TO glut the market, but merely
to gain competence. a few thousand
machines would bring in such a COM
petcncc if the estimate is properly
made

NO JUGGLING.

In his speech before the National
Association of Manufacturers at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York
last Thursday night, President Nc
Kinley again announced that there
would be no Juggling with the Nation
al honor on the money question.
He said that the government must
regulate its money by the highest
standards and there must he no seal
ing down of debt through legal tech
nicalities.
The President meant to say that
during the four years of his admins
tration, no matter how bitter the as
sailants of the National honor attacked
the present money system of the
United States, he would stand alone
in its defense, and see that no harm
comes to the National credit.
President McKinley's words we're
listened to in the Waldorf-Astoria by
over 1000 people. They will be read
by many millions Of people, and the
voters for Mckinley last fall, on the
financial question alone, will note that
their President has the backbone of
his party's declarations.

AFTER SHYSTERS.

The Publishers Association of New
York City authorize rewards aggrega-
ting $1,000 for proof against lawyers
who have excited groundless actions
or legal proceedings against newspa-
per of New York City, with corrupt
or malicious intent to vex or annoy.
The object of the Publishers Associ-
alton of New York city is to stop the
work of shyster lawyers who are look
ing for actions whereby they are given
an opportunity to appear for plaintiff
in court, and whereby they become
counsel for plaintiff or plaintiffs on
the agreement that they are to receive.
half or all of the verdict. The penal
code of New York is such that law
yer doing this is guilty of common
barratry, and is subject to service for
the State in the penitentiary.
This practice has become general
among lawyers all over the United
States. Shyster attorneys degrade
the profession of scholars in law, not
only by their barratry practices against
newspapers, but every class, profess
sional men, farmers, business men,
corporations and the like. They alb
sorb time in our courts; they create a
public expense for tax payers bv
drawn out trials resulting in adverse
or defendant verdicts; they trump up
perjured evidence in their behalf, and
make the courts of justice ahortions.
It would be we'll for other concerns
in every State to take similar action
to that of the Publishers Association
of New York.

SHOULD HAVE CONFERRED.

1t is to be regretted exceedingly
that the Hon. David M. Clough, gov
ernor of Minnesota, did not call in all
of the politicians of the State, and also
large number of the would like to
be machine operators, when he, as an
individual, came out unhesitatingly in
favor of the candidacy of Capt. Sam
uel R. VanSant, the soldier statesman
of Winona, for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor.
It is understood that Elk Gov. Mer-
riam and the Hon. Tams Bixby of

with the Hon. David M. after he an
nounced his disposition, with the view
of having that gentleman change his
views. But when the Hon. David
once takes a stand he sticks worse
than porous plaster.
If the Governor ever did right
thing in politics., it was when he, with
out solicitation, announced himself in
favor OF Capt. VanSant. The latter is

dent of Southern Minnesota, a true
