object to which we have never given
any special thought significance that
makes it always thereafter an object OF
particular interest. The East river fer

brought about simply by seeing one OF
them out of its accustomed waters amid
strange scenes and put to strange uses.
"This was in the fall of 1861, in
Hampton Roads. The regiment that ]
served in was aboard transport there,
waiting with other troops afloat there
to go farther south under convoy of
feet of war vessels. There was great
number of vessels there of all kinds,

ute as she looked then, moving across
the waters of the Roads, she looked so
utterly strange and curious there and
amid such surroundings. But she went
here and there with the most perfect
confidence, constantly employed in
transporting stores and troops and
making herself quite as much at home
there as she ever had been among the
currents and eddies of the narrow East
river
"Other ferryboats were taken down
there. A soldier friend Of mine tells
me that later, in the peninsular cam

The method used by the best sugar
refneries is substantially as follows
The raw sugar is dissolved in large els
terms ON the ground floor, enough hot
water being added to produce specific
gravity Of l.25. The solution is then
drawn through a 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. 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 1t 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 strip
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 i40 de-
grees. evaporation is complete and the
strip rapidly crystallizes into sugar.
This is the process by which the best
white sugar is made, while poorer quail

The Trend of Horticulture,

Untamed nature thinks only of the
perpetuation of its species. The wild
plants of field and forest, luxurating
in the warming rays OF the summer
sun, extract from the soil the nourish-
ment and vitality essential to the COM
pletion of their little round of life; and
then, having passed through their
short cycle OF existence, from the
bursting bud to the ripened fruit, they
droop and die The mysterious opera
ton of growth and death is repeated
season by season. and one genera ton
Is but redupllcation Of all others,
modified slightly by peculiar conditions
of soil and climate. The pattern of ma
ture Is spread out with glorious posi-
billtles, but the individual efforts of the
plants to raise themselves above their
kind are abortiye. Their hopes are blast
ed in the bud, flower or fruit; the limi.
tations imposed upon them prove insur-
mountable barriers.
Improvement and progressive devel-
opment begin with man. The strug-
Cling plant that has outstrlpped Its

knowing that 1t will be replaced the
following season by another whose fee
BILE growth may neutralize all the good
that 1t has accomplished, suddenly
finds itself lifted to more congenial sur
roundings. The mere struggle for a
precarious existence instantly ceases
to absorb all Its strength and powers.
The arbitrary laws of nature can no
longer limit development and expan-
sion, and the plant has leisure and OPP
portunity to cultivate the beauties and
refinements of a new life.
The flowers take on fairer and
more delicate hue, improving in size
and beauty by slow magical processes;
the foliage intensifies in strength and
color to form fitting background for
the blossoms, and the maturing fruits
develop a sweetness and lusciousness
heretofore existent only in potential
state. The plants slowly dlfferentiate
from their kind, assuming the appear.

blood of their ancestors to drag them

A little old shoemaker who has a

uliar ideas about canaries. One night
10 was sitting on his leather covered

quality of tobacco IN black pipe. A
customer was waiting for him to finish
traightening up a worn heel, and he
made several remarks concerning the
birds which hung about the cobbler's
hop. They were fancy birds, and be
could not help noticing 1t. Finally he
lsked the shoemaker how he got such
iohly colored birds.
Its part in the breeding and part in

"You raise birds in shop where two
or three men are constantly smoking,
and ia time you will get the darkest

ment in mating and they don't run to

az should think that tobacco smoke
would be unwholesome for the birds,
said the visitor.
ION the contrary. it makes them
hardy and seems to be good for them
every way. Women who have canaries
would do we'll to put them where they
can get a little tobacco smoke once in
awhile, although don think cigarette
smoke would do them much good. What
they need is strong tobacco smoke from
an old pipe like this or the smoke from
black cigar. I've raised my best birds
when had two jours working in this
little shop with me and all of us smok-
ing pretty nearly as1the time"
Then the old man sighed and said

THE pew caucus law is interpreted in

on the law, which ls almost as vague as

culer III which be states that the law I'D.
plies to cities OF the first and second class
only, unless the cities Of the third and
the fourth class adopt the caucus law 10
a formal manner. In this he is clearly
wrong. There IS 40 doubt that in gen
eral elections the law applies to all cities
The assistant attorney general so holds,
but he exempts towns from the opera
tons OF the law, except in Milwaukee
county.
Towns would be clearly exempt if the
law did not state, land all meetings for
nominating candidates or choosing dele
gates 10 the conventions to nominate can
didates or choosing delegates to the con
ventlOns to nominate candidates etc
without Limitation, and If the the word
