Bandage. and Red-Tape.

During the South African war Rud.
yard Kipling discovered, at Cape Town,
a hospital without bandages, and in
desperate need of them. This, too,
was in city where bandages were
for sale in many shops. He told an
acquaintance that he was going to
meet that want, and the gentleman at
once offered to pay for all the band
ages that Mr.. Kipling would buy and
take to the hospital. A cart was quick
ly loaded, and then the author was in
formed that, under the army rules,
the hospital authorities could not re-
ceive supplies from a private individ-
ual. "Well," said he, 81 will dump the
packages on the pavement before the
door, and then tell them to come out
and clear up the litter. Perhaps they
can get them into the building in that
way without tearing any red tape"
He drove off with the bandages, and
the supplies were somehow Struggled
into the hospital.-Youth's Compan-

He Was Tired.

"Down in South Carolina" said Rep
resentative Talbert, 81 once attended
a colored church. The preacher, one
of those negroes with an oily face and
big spectacles, was talking about the
prophets. He had taken an hour to
discourse upon the major prophets and
then he took up the minor ones. In
course of time he reached Hosea. My
breddren,' he exclaimed, we come now
to Hosea. Let us consider him. Where
shall we put Hosea?' At that moment
an old negro who had been peacefully
slumbering in one of the back pews
woke up and looked at the pastor.
Hosea can take my seat he said. 4

Atkins was more of scientist than
ahumorist. He adjusted his spectacles
and looked critically at the young
woman who had won our admiration.

hair is frightened with coal tar, her
ruby lips are dyed with it, and l should
not wonder it her teeth had been
cleaned with the same stuff. 1t seems
that she has perfumed her dress with
coal tar, and, as for the gaudy ribbons,

bons she's carrying? Well, it's more
than probable that few drops Of tar

sweetness"
What Atkins had said was all strictly
scientific. The number and variety of
products from the tar oil industry is
simply Supplying. Fifty-four totally
different products, with Characters
tics varying as widely as pitch, carbolic
acid and mirbane perfume, are made
and marketed. One hundred and fifty
different industries obtain part of
their raw material from one or the 9TH
er of these products. The most

finest perfumes, and that sweetest of
sweet things, % degrees sweeter than

secured by careful distillation of

Vlandingham started for the hall,
but paused to reach out his hand to
Guy.

followed Betty outside to post where
a horse was hitched. Untying the hal

directed him how to go.

area full of vanilla perfume, aniline
dyes and antiphyrine! Think of the
number of ice cream s'odas that could
be favored, the millions of yards of
flannel to be colored and the billions
of headaches to be relieved with the
coal tar riches contained therein!
Perhaps brief statement of the
process Of manufacture may be per-
mitted. In the first place the coal is
placed in huge alright containers and
subjected to comparatively moderate :
heat. AS the air cannot get at it, the
coal will not burn, but will give off
gas, each ton the 10000 feet men
toned above, and while the coke re-
mains there will drop out of it large
amount of semi-solid smeary liquid
the coal tar. This ill-smelling stuff
soon separates into two layers, the
lighter oils remaining on top. Now,
ordinarily, these lighter oils are SIM
ply passed off, perhaps the creosote
is extracted from this and the heavier
liquid is used as pitch. But when all
the virtues of both the light and the
heavy oils are to be utilized a much
more careful process is followed. The
oils are first separated as far as pos
sible by being drawn off, and then
each part is heated very gradually to
higher and higher temperature; a
thermometer which is held in the
steam showing the exact temperature
at every moment. Thus the SUBJ
stances that are most volatile, that is
those that change from liquid to gas
eous at lowest temperature, first be-
come gaseous. They pass over through
pipes into the coolers, which are gen
orally at some distance from the build.
ing in which the heating process is
carried on. AS soon as the gases reach
a cool lpace they of course change
back to liquid form. BY this accurate
but simple method the first light oils.
mostly water with ammonia, known nc
ammoniacal liquor, are distilled over
at 100 degrees Celsius, or 202 degrees
Fahrenheit. Then the temperature is
raised and the next set of gaseons
the so-called second light oils, are oh
tanned. Third comes the creosote
fourth the green oil; and then, at 425
degrees Celsius, that is 500 degrees
Fahrenheit, the black oils change from
liquid to gas and pass over into their
condenser, leaving only the pure pitch.
Each separate set of oils is then SUBJ
jected to many different chemical re.
agents, and it is principally by wash
ing out with ammonia and acids that
the last distilled products, the black
oils go through so many changes and
brings out the mysterious virtues in
perfume, color and saccharine.

will suffice to coat and preserve several

blue; 100 yards yellow; 1850 yards

actual statistics.
Strange it seems, that in ordinary
coal consumption all these riches
should go TO waste. But, of course, one
must consider that in order to get the
few pounds of marvelously powerful
coloring matter out of the coal, very
expensive manufacture is needed, and
after the aniline and aurin are OBJ

Oliver Cromwell throughout his mill

never once defeated.
The famous Russian general Suwar-
off was another commander destined
never to suffer defeat. He gained sew
eral victories against the Turks and
against he Poles, and in Italy he was
opposed by Moreau, and, being com
pletely outnumbered, he effected a
brilliant retreat over the mountains of
Switzerland, through Germany, into
Russia.
The duke of Wellington throughout
his brilliant campaigns, both in India
and in the peninsula, preserved to him
self a remarkable record of uninter-
rupted successes from the first battle
in which he was vested with supreme
command throughout the peninsular
war, in which he defeated the ablest
of Napoleon's marshals, until the
eventful day of Waterloo.

England and Germany the manufac-
ture of coal tar by-products il highly
developed.
1t is only within the last four or five
years that American manufacturers
have awakened to their great opportu-
nifty for making money out OF coaltar.
Yes, the proposition was even adj
vanced that asphalt pavement should
be subjected to some special heating
process to extract it's mysterious by
products. The scheme was actually
tried two or three years ago some
where in Pennsylvania, but was aban-
doned. Shortly afterward large
manufacturer of pitch in Philadelphia
decided to utilize the full virtue OF his
manufacture and the aniline dyes,
and even drugs and synthetic oils Of
delicate perfume, are now being pro-
duced. In Chicago, with its enormous
coal, gas and tar industries, there is
but one firm that carries this industry
beyond the making of pitch for pave
ments. This firm draws out the creo-
sote and sells it to lumber dealers.
The other by-products are distilled
over in the rough and shipped off to
Philadelphia where renewed process
of distillation mentioned above is I'M
dertaken. There are also some other dis
tillers IN the eastern cities, and few
large factories, but the great major
ity of these make only certain prod
ucts, particularly creosote and car
bolic acid, shipping away the residue
to the next factory, which extracts an
other compound or set of compounds.
Now consider comparative figures
for the coal industry in the United
States and in Europe. At present the
output annually in the United States
is about 160,0o0,0OO tons of coal per
annum as against about 100000 for
the British empire, all British possess
sions included, and less than half this
amount for Germany. The coal area
of Great Britain is 1859 square miles,
quite respectable surface compared
with the 1000 square miles each of
Prussia and of France. Recent sur
veys in Russia have shown that it far
surpasses it's neighbors, having coal
area of 10000 to $4,000 square miles.
But even Russia is poor compared with
the 214,225 square miles of rich coal
land in our country.

BESSIE AT THE SPRING.

The daisies nod merely one to another,
The marigolds cling to the hem of her
gown,
The chickens desert their excitable moth
To clamor for favor when Bessie comes
down
With her pail to the spring. Oh, red and
white roses,
Not fairer are they all a-bloom in the
grass
Than the bloom of her cheek; see how
graceful she poses
To watch the cloud shadows that lazily
While birds linger praiseful on futtering
wing
When hazel-eyed Bessie comes down to
the spring.
The rabbit peeps shyly from out his sweet
cover
OF thick blossomed lilacs adjoining the
slope
To gaze with the eloquent eyes of lover
Where Bessie comes tripping like radiant
Hope
From the dream of poet, her loose-aow-
ing tresses
With arrows of sunlight shot many times
And Brindle comes lowing to meet her
caresses,
The grass showing dark where she scat
tiers the dew.
And backward and forward complacently
swing
The winnows when Bessie comes down to
the spring.
Her charms owe no tax to the law of cold
fashion,
She had all her grace from the glorincd
One,
And her veins are as free of the latter-day
passion
AS meadow stream kissed by the beams
of the sun.
From scene-painted grotto no fairies be-
guile her
In opera fashioned to mountebank's art,
But she hears the lark's melody ripple
ecstatic
And full from his throat wherein lieth
his heart.
Then up through the meadow with giant
like swing
Comes Reuben to welcome sweet Bess at
the spring.

THEIR TONGUES BETRAY THEM.

Character Reading by New Method
Now Popular In Paris
And still they come. Linguistology
is the last craze in Paris If one pre-
fers to call it glossomancy, well and
good. Under either name it means
tongue reading and it threatens to
compete with palmistry.
That tongue may tell the character
OF the owner is a safe proposition. A
tongue may even, to expert eyes, tell
the condition OF the owners liver and
from such data many conclusions may
be reached Given the state of mans
liver, history and prophecy both seem
possible to even the average logician.
But linguistology has to do only
with the shape and form OF the tongue.
A big tongue, 1t seems, indicates frank
ness; short tongue, assimilation; a
long and broad tongue, garrulity and
generosity; a narrow tongue, concen-
tration and talent; short. broad
tongue, garrulity and untruth. The
man with very short and narrow
tongue is a liar of true artistic merit.
The disclosures of Hnguistology may
be thrilling, but palmistry has one adj
vantage which guarantees its suprem-
acy over the rival science. The sub
ject need not stop talking during .
palmist's reading.
