How rhey Make Demon. sour.

Until recently the California people
did not know how to cure lemons. The
fruit was never tart enough. There
would be plenty Of juice, but it con-
tanned high percentage of sugar and
small percentage of acid, which
made it unmarketable. But few
years ago the lemon growers dubbed
together and sent experts over to Italy
and Spain to learn the business, and
now they are producing much better
results. They pick the fruit before 1t
begins to turn yellow and put it in a
curing house, where it is kept at an
even temperature of about so degrees
for about 20 days, which 'sweats OUT
all the sugar. 1t is then removed to
another temperature for 60 days more
before it is ready for the market.
Thus the highest degree Of acid and
the largest degree of juice can be OBJ
tanned. One of the curious effects of
this sweating" process is to reduce
the thickness of the skin. 1t originally
grows thick and tough, but the acid
seems to eat it up.-Chicago Record.

LOVELY HYPOCRISY.
Little Tricks Which Show What .
COnsummate Actress In Patti.

A dramatic writer Of San Francisco
tells the following amusing story Of
PATHS last visit to the Pacific coast.
He was at the station with many others
to meet the great diva when che ar
rived.
1.-THE diva stepped from the train, ;"
said the San franciscan, ''and after
inhaling lung full of fog remarked:
'Oh, this is heaven All my troubles
are paid for. Thank heaven. breathe
the air Of San Francisco once againr
This was all very sweet in the high
priced canary bird, and the newspaper
boys were all delighted.
However, it was only a short time
before went down to the train to meet
Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de-
scending from her car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed:
Thank heaven, I breathe the air Of
Salt Lake City once morel All my trou-
bles are paid for. Oh, this is heavenf
The newspaper boys were all delighted
with her.

diva's lovely hypocrisy, that accursed
sin which the poet tells us takes the
best men in. I never thought Patti
much Of an actress, but changed my
mind in this respect after witnessing
these two. exhibitions.
Nothing in the way Of "lovely hy-
pocrisy" can surprise anybody who has
ever seen Patti on the concert stage
She rushes to the footlights, vision Of
smiling radiance, eyes swimming with
the moisture of overpowering joy and q
look Of pleading affection on her coun-
tenance, as if the present moment were
the happiest of her life and as if she
were consumed by an eager desire to
embrace and kiss everybody in the au-
dience And she does it also naturally
and spontaneously that the majesty Of
the assemhlage is instantly "mashed"
and would cheerfully lynch anybody
who would intimate that there was any
'acting" about it

why You Yavvn.

Have you ever observed at theater
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary Of the whole
thing, yawning half dozen times in
succession2 The reason Of this is
physiological one When your attention
Is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching, you breathe in very shall
low manner and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently,
when your attention is relaxed, you
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all, is
only breathing very deep breath.
If you watch q man at play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident. You may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
OF course the yawning, go far from be-
ing sign of WEAKNESS, is a proof OF
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in girl reading novel
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident 10

SURGEONS LovE.MAKlNo.
The Famous English Preacher Was Nc
Di1a tory Tovar

The Famous English Preacher Was No
Di1atory Lover.
Spurgeon, when under the influence of
love, betrayed none of the traditional
backing and filling propensities of low
ers; having once yielded to his tender
inclination for Miss Thompson, the
lady he made his wife, he found his
way to her heart with characteristic
directness and originality.
Miss Thompson visited occasionally
Mt the house of Mr.. Olney, one of Spur
geon's valued deacons, and was in.
duced to hear Sturgeon preach. His
sermons had decided effect upon her.
She accepted his views of Christianity,
and declared her new convictions to
the Olney family, who were warmly at.
tached to the young preacher.
Mr.. Olney doubtless told the new pas
tor about Miss Thompson, fer one day
she received from Mr.. Sturgeon an il
Illustrated copy Of the "Pilgrim's Prog
ress," with this inscriptions:
Miss Thompson, with desires for her
progress In the blessed pilgrimage,
from Charles H. Sturgeon, April 20,
1854"
Friendship between the two grew
rapidly from this beginning. At the
opening Of the Crystal Palace they.
were present; they occupied some
raised seats at the end of the palace,
and as they sat there, talking, laughing
and amusing themselves as best they
could while waiting for the procession
to pass by, Mr.. Sturgeon handed the
young woman a book, into which he
had been occasionally dipping, and,
pointing to some particular lines, said:
what do you think of the poets sug-
gestion in these versesY'
The volume was Martin Tupper's
"Proverbial Philosophy" The pointing
finger guided her eyes to the chapter
on marriage. Then Mr.. Sturgeon ask
ed, do you pray for him who is to be
your husband"
His question did not receive any
vocal reply, but the lady's flushed
cheek and her downcast eyes, which
feared to reveal the light which at once
dawned in them, may have spoken
language which love understood. From
that moment a very quiet and subdued
little maiden sat by the young pastors
side.
During their engagement Sturgeon
wrote some charming love-letters to
the lady of his choice. Then, after
while, he gave her another book, and
wrote this quaint bubble in it:
''In few days it will be out Of my
power to present anything to Miss
Thompson. Let this be remembrance
of our happy meetings and sweet con-
versations. Dec. %, 1866. G. III. S."
The marriage took place Jan. 8, 1856,
and the notice in the Sturgeon Bible,
written by Sturgeon, reads:
Charles Haddon Sturgeon and Su.
sannah Thompson were, by the gra.
cious arrangement of Divine Provt
dence, most happily married at New
Park Street Chapel by DR.. Alexander
Fletcher on Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1856.
