How Sugar Il Refined .

The method used by the best sugar
refineries 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 Las. The solution is then
drawn through connecting pipe hay
ing u coarse wire strainer into large
pumps, by which it is pumped into the
highest story Of the building, usually
the seventh or eighth. IL there passes
into vessels heated by steam coils to a
temperature Of about 2l0 +. Milk OF
lime is added to the solution in these
pans for the purpose Of noutralizing any
acid which ii 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, on 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 il 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 l40 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
tiles are prepared by method less COM

DraHine . Splinter.

Removing a splinter from suffering
hand may not be nice and pleasant
subject, but home surgery may some
times give some one feeling OF heart
felt JOY. The sufferer who illustrates
the matter on this occasion was q car
penter. He was working al his trade at
an institution over which the sisters OF
the Roman Catholic church presided.
One day he broke off an ugly splinter
in his hard and could not get 1t out.
He went home ut the close Of his day e
work feeling no annoyance from the
wound, but by the mex: morning the
hand was in serious condition and 80
painful that working was as impossible
ity. On his way to the Doctors the car
penter stopped to tell the sisters why he
must delay his work.
LET me see what can do with your
hand before you go to the doctor, T" said
one of the sisters. The man demurred.
"Yes," said the sister. with gentle in
sistence, "it will do no harm anyway. !"
She quickly filed within an iEoh or so
Of the top rather wide mouthed bottle
with steaming hot water, and as she
held it another sister pressed the in
famed part Of the injured hand gently
down over the opening. Such peculiar
sensation! 1t seemed to the man that
his whole hand was being drawn with
great force into the bottle He would
have taken it away, but the sister was
holding it gently, but firmly. Then there
was feeling Of relief 1t seemed as il
the inside of that hand had become
liquid and was pouring its unpleasant
contents into the bottle. That was al
most exactly what was happening, and
with the liquid went the offending splin-
ter. The hand was bathed and bandaged,
and the carpenter continued his work
without further Inconvenience. New

1As oaueels1,s plLEMMA.

An east side druggist was startled the
other day when boy came into MS
store and handed him q crumpled note,
the hand writing Of which he easily rec
ognized as that of the wife Of one OF hi-
best customers, who lived a few blocks
up the street, and owed him bill. The
note read as follows:
"Dear Sir:-Please send me by the bearer nvt
ounces Of rat poison. Ny husband has just re
turned from Washington"
The druggist Was undecided as to what
to do. He had about made up his mind
to call policeman when the boy, fumb-
ling In his pockets, pulled out another
bic Of crumpled psper and said:
"Say, mister, here's the rest OF the note
got into scrap wild feller comm
down to de store and he tore It 10 two.'
Il read:
"He IL too tired to como down tonight bu

AMONG THE MOuNTAiNeERS OF
NORWAY

had given up all thought OF doing
nything In life but jump from one sharp
boulder 10 another, when, as we suddenly
rounded a crsg, Vigdsl stopped again,
and turning 10 the left, entered door
that seemed TO 60 into the rock. IL was
n solitary sdeter, or stone hut, standing
In the lonely valley by itself, and quite
different from the club huts We had AL
ready seen. Two hunters with their
wives live here during the summer
months, the men hunting reindeer and
their wives keeping house. The hut con-
sisted OF q few feet OF earth enclosed by a
wall Of stone, six feet thick, six feet
high, and covered nv foot OF earth laid
upon boards. Insid. "A partition divided
the space into two rooms, the one near
est the door for cows. dogi, and kettles.
and the other, with the earth for car
pet, for cooking, eating, sleeping, and
general liviDg-apsrtment.
The room was now quite "a full, not
as comfort, but ss square feet OF spsce
allowed; and supper being over, Nigdsl
asked US IL we did not want to get oil our
wet clothes and 60 to bed. We glanced
at the two women, but Vigdal did not
seem to see anything unusual In their
presence, and forthwith began to un-
dress. He hung his outer clothing by the
fire, aud then got into one OF the bed
with his wet underclothes on. Even the
presence OF the two women could not
force US TO do this, and after looking In
quiringly at our guide again, we gather
ed ourselves into corner and prepared
for bed, with some doubts as to the con-
ventionalities Of Norway.
We might have spared ourselves the
worry. The women took not the slight
eat notice OF Us, but went on clearing
away the supper and washing the dishes.
When we were in bed they took our
clothes and calmly hung them one by
one I'm a semicircle before the fire.
Whether the women were going to spend
the night In the hut or not did not now
seem so important an affair as the soiu-
tion of where they were to sleep. But
this was soon settled, when Vigdal, on
being anxiously questioned, said that
they were going mile or two up the
valley to another hut. And our won
der at Norwegian customs increased as
we thought OF the storm In full force
outside, and the calm manner 10 which
vigdal had made us part agents In turn
ing out these kindly hostesses.-Ham-

IN. March Of tn. Ne. Of H.r,.eA."

In military music the march occupies
q prominent position and has been en-
ployed not only to stimulate courage,
but also from about the middle OF the
seventeenth century to insure the order
ly advance of troopa One Of the earliest
instances Of rhythmical march is the
Welsh war strain. "Tho March Of the
Men Of Harlech," which II supposed to
have originated during the sisge Of Har.
lech castle In 1853. In England the mil
itary march vas of somewhat later de-
velopment.
Sir John Hawkins in his History Of
Music" tells us that its characteristic
was dignity and gravity, in which re-
spect II differed greatly from the French,
which was brisk and alert, and apropos
Of this subject the same author quotes Q
witty reply of an Elizabetban soldier to
the French Marshal Biron's remark
that "the English march, being beaten
BY the drum, was slow, heavy and
sluggish. "That may be true" he
said, "but slow ss It is it has traversed
