NEW USE FOR COAL DUST.
Somebody Apparently Selling It Widely
 in Place of Antimony.

A rural chemist has accidentally dis covered a curious case of adulteration. or, more accurately, of substitution in the matter of a drug commonly sold in pharmacies, rural and urban. The drug is the tri-sulphide of antimony, commonly known as black antimony. The chemist in analyzing a patent remedy discovered that the ingredients nearly corresponded with those in formula furnished by the Agricultural department but that coal dust had been substituted for black antimony Struck with this discovery, the chemist obtained twelE5 55es of black anti mony, most from druggists in his own HL5==i Good, but one from New York, of it.ase, only one was really black anthony; the others were coal dust, coal dust and chalk or coal dust and sand. There is no reason to suppose that the druggists knew of the substitution, for there would be little profit in the deception unless 1t were pfacticed on a large scale; but it seems plain that some manufacturing S4iS41AA@9 4o oCIti1t5 " LII Gilltoo 6llpoti- ute for black antimony Indeed the substitute may be sent out from more than one factory, for while the dozen samples tested came from the eastern coast, the remedy in which the sub stitution was originally detected came from the vest The New York drug gist who sold a sample of the substi- tute does business in a fashionable quarter where there is considerable demand for black antimony on the part Of groomS and cGachmen, who use it in the preparation of condition pow ders fer horses. Two other druggists in the same neighborhood do not keep black antimony. One of them keeps what is known as red antimony, which is chemically identically with black antimony though different in appear ance. Red antimony is a product of chemical precipitation, while black antimony is natural product found in many parts of Europe, in Nova Scotia and Nevada

The Remains of Paul Jones.

The remains of Paul Jones, the American sailor ot the revolutionary war, having been located in an ob- seure Paris cemetery, which has long since been built over, desire has been expressed to have the remains, if they can be located, removed to the United States But the American colony in Paris has another plan. If Washing ton consents, it intends to buy the ground, remove the encumbering houses, and create public square. Over the grave of Paul Jones it would erect monument-a symbol of the old friendship of the two republics. In view of the object, the cost would be insignificant. The Paris authorities have intimated that they will gladly second the project. Long ago they named streets after Washington, Franklin and other American heroes. Paul Jones Square" would he a worthy addition to the list.

Islanders Fifteen Thousand Miles Apart
 Believe in Evil Spirits.

kslAua5rs slfEeen thousand Miles Apart
 Believe in Evil Spirits.
 Philosophic people who belong to the folk lore society are fond of tracing legends and myths and customs all over the world Cinderella, the dear girl, is found in one knows not how many peoples, speaking innumerable tongues and believing an equal num- Der of religions How did Cinderella Become ubiquitous? The transactions Of the Folk Lore society will perhaps offer a theory Now, there has been unraveled curious superstition com mon to Shetlanders and Singhalese. How islanders so wide apart-some 15,- 900 miles-managed to adopt each oth- ers views one does not know But here Is the fact The rice cultivators of geylon and the fishermen of Shetland resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They re- frain from speaking of the implements
 aeir calling by their names; they
 sem something else, by names RAs9n only to themselves. The req son is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both races. "There is an evil spirit always on the Iao1 out for opportunities of do- ing misc f. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way Of doing an injury. Therefore we will ag,ee to call boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves. " Another custom of the Shetiander, not possible to the rice grower, is that if in fishing his net catches something at the bottom and stone is brought up It is hot to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil spirit, who most certainly put it into the net. It is to be kept in the boat until the net 4again catches. Then it is to be dropped
 y@water with the words: s'Take your own and give me mine," where upon the net is at once released. Now. If the SinghaIese were to turn fisher, would he, following the same line Of thought, adopt similar custom?- Pittsburg Dispatch

The German peasant of the time did not take kindly to the potato plant on it's introduction to the country. It had, however, a great friend in the king, Frederick H., who was convinced of it's value, but who was obliged to use forcible measures to get the people of Pomerania and Silesia to plant the bulb.

FRUIT FOR A TREE.
Chinese Product That Bears TalIow
 Brought to south Carolina.

Brought to South Carolina.
 The people of China are eminently practical and have added much to the civilization of mankind by their habits of industry, of which the method of obtaining vegetable tal1ow is an excel lent Example The tree producing this talloN Is called sti1lingia sebifera, and the words remind Us Of the dropping product and it's soapy nature. The Chi nese pick the seeds Of this tree in au- tuIhn, and first place them in wooden cylinder. open at the top and perforat- cd at the bottom. After being steamed over a fire for ten or fifteen minutes the tallow is softened and is then more readily separated. The seeds are trans. ferred from the steaming cylinder to Q stone mortar, in which they are gently Deen They are then thrown on d sieve, heated over the fire and sifted, by which process the tallow is separat- ed and resembles coarse Indian meal. h this state tine tallow is put between circles of twisted straw and these plac- eG in a press, by which the tallow is forced out and falls into tub. Freed from all impurities. it is then a seml- fluid of a beautiful white color. Candles made o1 it easily melt in hot weather and on this account they are dipped in melted wax of various colors-red, green or yellow-and are exposed for sale by tallow ehand1ers and other shopkeepers. This remarkable tree Is found on the banks of the Min, in Sze- chuen. It also grows near SoochoW, and has been transplanted to North and South Carolina. It is tree wltn shining green leaves and small yellow flowers at the end of the branches. They are succeeded by dark colored seeds and vessels containing delicate white seeds. Tn late autumn, on the banks of the Tsien-tang river in Cho- kiang, south of Hangchow, this tree IS a striking object. The leaves are then of assblood red color instead of light gresn. When the tallow has been squeezed out of the seeds the remainder is preserved to be used as fuel or to enrich the land.-Phi1adelph Record. HAVE THE SAME SUPERSTITION

THE RAISING OF osrRIcHEs.
Five Farms Now Carried on in the
 United States.

United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms in the United States-two in California, one in Texas, one in Florida, and one in Arizona. The last named, although the youngest, is the largest and most hourishing in the country It is To- cated near Phoenix, and the Salt river valley seems well adapted 70 the Af- rican ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during the winter They graze the entire year in he fields. the same as horses and cat tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The man ill charge of the Arizona farm, who spent 15 years handling ostriches i'll South Africa, says the birds do just as well in the Salt River valley as in Africa, and that the climatic and other conditions surrounding them here seem as well adapted to their requirements as those existing in their native home. After the birds attain the age of four weeks there is little danger or s.1efr dying from natural causes for many years. It is not positively known how iong an ostrich will live under normal conditions, but there are birds on South African farms which are believed to have reached or passed the century mark, many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob- aDiy, from their old geographites when they were children, that the female ostrich, after laying her eggs in a nest scooped out of the desert sands, cov- CTS them up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun to hatch them. This is not the fact. The birds always pair off during the breeding season, the male bird making the nest by resting his breastbone on the sand and turning slowly round and round, scratching the sand away with his feet until a shallow hole is made, some three feet in diameter and about a foot deep. The female then lays, usu- ally, 15 eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sitting during the daytime and the male at night, except that the male allows the female about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes her place on the nast-sBoston Herald.
