Clay Casting.

A new process of clay casting, or porcelain products, termed "Thonguss. has been introduced in GeImany, says The Neueste Erfindungen. It seems that in this case the mass is not, as hereto fore, worked cold upon the potter's lathe or pressed into 8 mold, but is fine- ly ground after careful drying, then melted at a prescribed heat in an cleo tric furnace and poured into a heated, fireproof casting mold. Glazing becomes necessary in most cases if the walls of the mold are sufficiently smooth, other wise it is allowed to cool off after the qualification of the cast to certain temperature, and finely powdered glass is thrown on in a uniform, thin layer.
 The advantage of the new process, as set forth, coLsists-aside from 8 consid- erably reduced cost-in an almost com plete prevention of the unforeseen shrinking of the mass on cooling, and thus it follows that henceforth iastru- ments of precision and accurately divid- ed measuring vessels of every descrip- tion can also be made from porcelain.
 By means of a still undeveloped process wiz, the admixture of a suitable sub- stance to the melsed clay-it is expected to render the cooled mass pliable-mal- leable-and also to make the operation of 8 remelting considerably more diff cult

As sat in the hotel office at the old Tourtelotte House at Millbury. Mass, l thought of the old-time sports, one in game fellow, 8 superb driver and a suc- cessful card manipulator. His name was Reuben Titus, and in his younger days he was the observed of all observers Tall, straight and handsome and fault lessly dressed, he was the life of all sport ing occasions. A splendid driver and trainer, he was 8 man with a record. In early life he went to California, and it is said killed two men in a street fight.
 To look at this man one would doubt this story, for his countenance betokened benevolence, and no one in distress ever appealed to him in vain. Titus came to Worcester in 1854, and drove string of trotters belonging to Nathan Washburne of Worcester. MT. Washburne was an iron manufacturer and had plenty of money. Titus was in MT. Washburne's employ long time and finally left him. Being an inveterate gambler he was some times broke. One time MT. WashburDe wanted Titus to drive a horse in a race that was to take place in Boston, so he sent for him and explained what he wanted.
 Cant go," said Titus.
 Why not ?" asked MT. Washburne. "Ain't got any money" exclaimed ri. tus.
 Money, money" said Washburne, ''why thought you always had money ' Well, I did have some, but I laid it all on the jack, and the jack didn't win, so I'm broke."
 "Oh, well," replied Washburne, "how much do you want ?''
 "Oh, I don't know" answered Titus you know Pm an expensive son of a gun.'' Washburne gave Titus $500. and Titus took the horse to Boston, That night Titus bucked the tiger and was broke. A | few days later Washburne went to Bos. ton, and Titus approached him saying ''I guess will have to have little more l money"
 Money" exclaimed Washburne, "why I gave you $500 only few days ago."
 "l know it," said Titus, s'but you know told you that was an expensive son oi gun."
 Poor Titus. He became poor and died in the Worcester almhouse. His friends offered to take care of him, but his prid. would not let them, and he remained ar inmate there until his death.-Remiasts cences of Gn OId Sport, i,s American Hors, | Breeder.

Good for the Stomach.

The greatest drawback to cod liver oil has always been due to it's proclivities of disturb ing the stomach. With Vinol this becomes thing of the past, as Vinol contains all the curative principles found in cod liver oil, but is entirely free from the stomach-disturbing fat.
 MT. Graves, a prominent chemist of North. ampton, says in regard to this subject:-
 ssCod liver oil was a valuable remedy where it could be administered. In some cases it was beneficial because the really valuable medicine that was a part of it was so truly efficient that it was in itself able to over. come the distressing effects of the obnoxious and stomach-disturbing oil which enveloped it. Because with Vinol you have done: away with the fat or grease, you have succeeded in eliminating all objectionable features in con- nection with cod liver oil. .'
 We in our own experience have been able to learn the truth of the above statements and know Vinol to be as much better than cod liver oil in it's old form as it is more pleasant in it's taste and odor. Yours very truly,
