probably the Philippine question will
not be discussed, as ,the Americans are
also waiting for instructions.

BURNE-JONES.
Rossetti's Influence In Causing the

ROssetti's Influence In Causing the
Artist to Hyphenate His Name.
1t may or may not be true that it was
Rossetti who urged Burne-Jones, when
at the outset of his career, to connect
with hyphen "Burne' and "Jones, "
says William Sharp in The Atlantic.
" Jones' is. nobody" Rossetti would
declare. "only particle of vast null
tiple! But Burne-J ones-that is unmis-
takable!'
It was an amusing trait in Rossetti
that he was won't to designate the good
work of this or that friend as the work
of-and he would mention the most
distinctive name or part name Of the
person concerned. Thus he would say,
eyes, that is Burne-Jones, but this,
this here, you know, is only JONES'" or
"That now is the real Holman Hunt,
but this here is only Hunt" or, "You
can hear Tennyson in that, but Alfred
wrote the other lines. "
recall two amusing instances where
Burne-Jones more or less unconsciously
adopted the same method. He was asked
once if he thought William Bell Scott
more eminent as poet or as an artist.
"I never thought very highly of Bell, "
he replied. Then, seeing a look of sur
prise, added, with humorous twinkle,
81 liked old Bell Scott-old Scotus, as
we always called him-immensely, and
think William Bell Scott wrote some
very fine verse, but always thought it
was pity that Bell took to paintingP
The other instance occurred when
some one remarked to him that "Par.
nell was only an agitator. - "Charles
Stewart Parnell," he replied with EN-.
phasis, twas one of the greatest public
men of our day and far and away the
ablest Irish leader" "But Parnell, !"
etc., resumed the objector, to be again
corrected by the other disputant,
.Charles Stewart Parnell, " etc.

MAKING WOOD ALCOHOL.
TOE Deadly Substance That Thirsty
TOpers Sometimes Drink.

TOE Deadly Substance That Thirsty
Topers Sometimes Drink.
1t is necessary first to convert wood
into liquid. The strongest hydraulic
pressure would not squeeze one-half of
per cent of the moisture from dry
wood, but by putting the same material
into an iron retort and converting it
into charcoal by means of heat the gases
and smoke, to the extent of fully 65 per
cent of the weight of the wood, may be
condensed into pyroligneous acid, from
which are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
of lime and wood tars. A cord of wood
weighing 1000 pounds produces about
1850 pounds Of pyroligneous acid and
700 pounds Of charcoal. The pyroligne-
Gus acid from one cord of wood pro-
duces gallons of 80 per cent crude
wood alcohol, 200 pounds of acetate of
lime and about 25 gallons Of tar, besides
So bushels of charcoal. After the pyro-
ligneous acid is neutralized with lime
the wood alcohol is distilled off, the
lime holding the acetic acid in solution.
After the separation Of the wood spirit
the remaining liquid is boiled down in
pans to sugar, which is dried, and be-
comes the acetate of lime of commerce.
Acetate of lime is used for making acetio
acid
Fully three-ffths of all the wood al
cohCl aud acetate CT lime produced in
the world are made in the United States.
Over 1900 acres of forest per year are
cleared in the United States. Wood al
cohol affords perfect substitute for
grain alcohol for manufacturing and
mechanical purposes, and at less than
one third the cost. It is used principally
as solvent in the making Of shellac
varnish and in making celluloid and
Photographic paper. 1t makes beautiful
dye tints, is antiseptic and is used fol
liniments and for skin rubbing in bath
houses. - Wine and Spirit Gazette.

SCHOOLS are good things fer Indians,

This is where tie govern mont is to-

them something to do, not turn them
loose to run wild upon the agency.

Where the fox and the eagle Lief
Who has seen the obsequies

With death they steal away
Out of the sight of the sun,
Out of the sight of the living; they

Covers them over with Quaker grace
Just where they laid them down.

In summer a deeper green
Here and there, it is like to be

Thus, not more, to the poor dead year.
No grave nor ghostly stone,
But greener life and warmer cheer
Be the only sign that he's gone. ..
