samples Of whiskys from various To-
calities and tell from which county,
generally from which particular distil-
lery, each individual sample comes.
Whether this is due to the water. the
grain or the proportions Of the ingre-
dients employed by the different houses
has never been satisfactorily explain
ed; but that it can be done Is abso-
lutely true.
The war that has been waged be-
tween the straight goods men and the
blenders in connection with the pure
food bill Is due to the effort Of the dis
tillers to have a ban placed upon all
whiskys not bottled in bond, in effect
to declare all other products impure.
The bottling-in-bond process Is not
widely understood and, so far as the
average man who calls for his drink
over a bar Is concerned, cuts no
great figure. Whisky bottled in bond
is bottled at the distillery warehouse
in the presence Of an internal revenue
officer, who pastes over the cork and
neck Of each bottle a government
stamp which guarantees the age Of
the whiskey and certifles that 1t was
not manipulated in its journey from
the barrel to the bottle. Under the
law whiskey less than four years old
cannot be bottled in bond.-New York

To CHANGE A QUARTER R.-"How much
money does it take to make change for
a quarter" queried the man whose fad
is freak mathematics. Twenty five
cents, eh? You're away out. To
change a quarter in the various ways
it can be done requires a capital OF
seventy cents. If fellow wanted plen-
ty of coin for his quarter he'd tax you
for twenty-five pennies. On the other
hand, the man who wanted the least
loose change for his quarter would
come at you for two dimes and
nickle. The chap who wanted di-
yersity Of coin in his change would
get into you for two five-cent pieces
one dime and five pennies, which would
allow him to juggle copper, silver and
nickle in his jeans. Others might ask
you to produce four nickles and fve
pennies, three nickles and ten pennies;
two nickles and fifteen pennies or one
nickle and twenty pennies. II you es-
caped these demands you might be re-
uuested to come up with fiVe nlcKels'
three nickels and one dime, one nickle'
one dime and ten pennies, one dime and
fifteen pennies, or two dimes and fve
pennies. There are just twelve ways
of breaking a quarter in current Unit
ed States coin, and to be there with
the goods for any demand you would
require twenty-five pennies, two dimes
and five nickles-in all seventy cents

A Wonderful Bible.

"The most beautiful volume among
the half million in the Congressional
Library at Washington is BLDG
which was transcribed by monk IN
the sixteenth century," said gentle
man connected with a leading book
binding establishment In this city.
1T could not be matched today In the
best printing office in the world. The
parchment is in perfect preservation.
Every one of its thousand pages is a
study. The general lettering is IN
German text, each letter perfect, with
out a scratch or blot from lid TO ho.
At the beginning Of each chapter the
first letter is very large. usually TWO
or three inches long. and Is brightly
Illuminated in red and blue ink. With
I'm each Of these capitals Is drawn the
figure of some saint, some incident
of which the chapter tells. There are
two columns on a page, and nowhere
is traceable the slightest irreguiarity
of line space or formation OF the let
ters. Even under a magnifying glass
thew seem fiawless. This precious VOL
ume is kept under a glass case. which
is sometimes lifted to show that all
the pages are as perfect as the two
which lie open.
"A legend relates that a young man
who had sinned deeply, became monk
and resolved to do penance for his
misdeeds. He determined to copy the
Bible that he might learn every letter
of the divine commands which he had
violated. Every day for many years
he patiently pursued his task. Each
letter was wrought In reverence ana
love, and the patient soul found its
only companionship in the sanity
faces which were portrayed on these
pages. When the last touch was CIV
en- to the last letter the old man reVer-
emily kissed the page and folded the
sheets together. The illustrated ini-
tials in perfection Of form and bril-
liancy of color surpass anything pro-
duced In the present day. With all our
boasted progress nothing In Europe
or America equals it."-New YORK

1t seems to be only a question Of a
short time when the solid substance
will be purchasable in the form Of q
salt, pressed into bricks or done up
in bags.
One Of the many commercial pro-
ducts obtainable from the new salt is
laughing gas. This gas Is made from
nitrate Of ammonia, which is obtained
by boiling ammonia In nitric acid. The
stuff is bought in granulated form and
boiled in flask, the gas thus obtain

rubber bag. BY passing through the
water 1t is purified, and the patient in
hales 1t through nozzle from the bag.
While Niagara Falls, al has been
said. might easily furnish enough solid
nitrogen Of atmospheric origin to sup
ply the world, any water power, which
Is always the cheapest source Of elec-
trical energy, will serve the purpose.
The process being no secret, people
everywhere are likely to avail them
selves Of It, and to manufacture their
own nitrogen bricks" or flour" for
agricultural or other industrial en-
ployment.-Philadelp Record.

But when Harkless' step crunched
the garden there was no one there.
Asters were blooming in beds between
the green rosebushes, and their many
fingered hands were flung open in wide
surprise that he should expect to find
young Fisbee there. 1t was just before
sunset. Birds were gossiping in the
sycamores on the bank. At the foot Of
the garden. near the creek, there were
some tall hydrangea bushes, flower
laden, and beyond them one broad
shaft of sun smote the creek bends for
a mile in that fat land and crossed the
garden like bright, taut drawn veil.
Harkless passed the bushes and STEP
ped out into this gold brilliance. Then
he uttered a cry and stopped. Helen
was standing beside the hydrangeas
with both hands pressed to her face
and her eyes cast on the ground. She
had run away as far as she could run.
There were high fences extending
down to the creek on each side, and the
water was beyond.

BOERs STILL PRISONERS.
Stubborn Patriots VIZ Refuse to Take
Oath of Allegiance.

It Is now two years since the Boer
war ended. The world has been OF
the impression that the rancor Of that
conflict had largely disappeared. Eng
land has announced the successive
steps of large schemes Of repatriation
and the world has given her the cred
it Of playing in all respects the part of
a generous conqueror. Even Colonel
Lynch, who stirred the fiercest resent
ment Of the English people, has. it Is
said, through the social influence of
| Sir Thomas Upton with the king, been
set free. One would expect this to
| be the last act Of pardon, the very end
Of the passion Of Incorporate resent
ment which England could not help but
feel for an enemy which had to bear
not only the expected punishment of
the conquered, but the added rancor
which came Of England's realization
Of her own armys incompetency, and
of the fact that the overwhelming
sympathy Of the world was with her
small antagonist.
/
date to receive an appeal from forty
three Boer prisoners who are still de-
tanned on the Bermuda Islands, under
circumstances which one hopes the
British government may be able to
present In a better light than does
their appeal. These prisoners are not
criminals. They are not OF those
Dutch subjects Of England who Joined
their brothers in the Transvaal and
whom England saw fit to treat as
traitors. They are not among those
whom the English excluded from the
general amnesty because Of alleged
breaches of the rules of war. They are
Boer soldiers whose status differs In
no way from that OF the 1000 others
who were captured with Cronje at the
| Modder river.
Their troubles are due solely to their
refusals to take the oath of allegiance
to Great Britain. This, \one feels, Is
hardly a justification for their deten-
ton. One does not like the spectacle
Of conquering nation forcing an oath
of allegiance down the throats of the
conquered. Such an oath might well
be made a condition Of participation
in the new government Of the Trans
vaal. But these Beers do not wish, ac-
cording to their appeal, to return to
the Transvaal. They do not wish to
become subjects of the king. They de-
sire nothing more than to be released
when they will proceed to the United
States or elsewhere to settle. 1t ought
not to require exceptional generosity
for England to permit this. The Unit
ed States put no stone in the path OF
the vice president Of the Confederacy
Judah P. Benjamin, who preferred not
to remain in his home under a flag
which he had fought against, and as
voluntary exile rose to eminence In the
London bar.
There were at one time some 5000
Boer prisoners Of war on the Bermuda
islands. At the close Of the war Of
fcers of the British army appeared at
Bermuda and presented the oath of al
legiance. This, nearly all Of the Beers
with the advice Of their leaders, ac-
cepted. Those who signed the oath
were taken back to their homes on
British warships, at the expense Of the
British government. But the forty
three who now make the appeal. re-
fused to swear.-Boston Transcript.

tracing nitrogen from the atmosphere
could never. 1t was finally realized, be
a commercial success.
Nitrogen, In a state Of nature. ex-
lists only as gas, save, OF course,
where 1t is combined with other ele-
ments, in plants, in the flesh of AMI
mails and in mineral salts. Being de-
void Of color, 1t Is as gas Invisible.
If it were otherwise the atmosphere
would not be the clear and pellucid
medium that 1t is for purposes Of vis-
ion. Nevertheless, it has been made
visible to the eye, when reduced to
LIQUID by Prof. Dewar at tempera-
ture Of 346 degrees below zero of Fab
renheit.
Nitric acid, when pure, Is colorless
liquid and one might easily mistake
It for so much water. But 1t Is far
from being inert. 1t has strong and
disagreeable smell, burns the skin,
and eats metal-on which account 1t Is
used for etching on steel and copper.
Combined with silver in the shape or
a salt, 1t is the lunar caustic' used by
physicians, and it Is the basis of the
indelible ink employed by housewives
for marking linen.
Priestly and Cavendish. so long ago
as the year 1885, realized that the at
mosphere contained nitrogen enough
for the uses Of all generations to come.
They thought that ultimately a means
would be found whereby the precious
gas could be extracted from the air.
OF course they were derided as vision
aries-the polite word for cranks. But
