How Sugar Is Refined.

The method used by the best sugar refneries 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 8 connecting pipe hav- ing a coarse wire strainer into large pumps, by which it is pumped into the highest story of the building, usually the seventh or eighth. It there passes into vessels heated by steam coils to 8 temperature of about BIO 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 se- 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 qual- ities are prepared by method less com plete. Louis Republic.

DECISION IN H1RscH CASE.

The decision Is @ very important one as it settles question not heretofore settled iudicially.
 During the trial of Stephen H. Cole of Putnam for violation of the liquor law in Willimantic in May, 1896, MT. Hirsch as deputy internal revenue collector was summoned to court and commanded to produce the original application for a government license as filled out and sign ed by Cole. MT. 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 ofncer, 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 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 27, and the decision of that court sustains both Judge Wheeler of the su- perior court and Judge Shipman of the TTrffoa o{n T,rdora Shin 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, ot the writ of habeas corpus: Upon the peti. ton of Heyman J. Hirsoh 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, in opposition to said application, 1t Is order. ed. that said writ be dismissed without l costs"
 It is not likely that MT. Hirsch will be again imprisoned, as the case upon which he was summoned has been disposed of and the end sought has been accomplish ed by the settlement of the question, SC that illegal liquor selling can no longer be protected by withholding evidence in tho hands of United States internal revenue officers

UNCLE NOSES PRAYER.

He Prayed EloQuent1y, 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 8 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 Pazed upon the we'll dressed darkies he felt as if the Lord was long ways of. 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 wid Brother Nose Smith," Uncle Nose went down on his knees and threw his deep voice and soul in a 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:
 70 Lawd, we know dat we is weak in dy sight an hab been follerin after things which sabor uv de debil, but. O Lawd. we know dat dow in dy rich ness of mercy gwine tuw swipe hit offen de big book an say, Yo' count is squah.

He has been much troubled with depredations by foxes and he believes that the state should take some steps towards the extermination of the animals The foxes seem to abound mostly in the towns of Holland and Staf- ford in Holland county and in Ashford, Westford and Warrenville in Windham county.
