PLAiMATES.

Two little puppies, full of play,
With a bone ia Worry and toss,
Were sporting together the live long day
And they never :, cmed vcNed or cross
Three little squirrels, gay and wee,
And spry and light as bird.
Played all day long in the old-tree,
And they never said one sharp word.
Four little pussies the little dcars,
Climbed up on the garden wall,
They played with each others tails and
ears,
And never quarreled at all.
Five little birds, such a tight fit,
In one little tiny nest,
Never crowded nor showed nor pushed
one bit
For the place that each liked best.
Six little chicks in the grass SO green,
Seven little ducks in the brook,
Never gave one another. as have seen,
One angry or unkind look.
Fight little lambs went to irolic and feed
In the meadows broad and bright,
And the dear little things never once
disagreed,
From the dawn OF day till night.
Nine little boys were playing ball,
But they made such fuss, O. dear!
And wrangled and scolded and screamed
and all,
That it tired my ears to hear.
And that is the way I'm sorry to say,
For wasn't it just too bad?
They have lost, on this pleasant summer
day.
All the fun that they might have had.

1t Will Work Great Economies in Many Lead
ing Industries.
A recent issue OF the Scientific inner
tean contains an article by Henry
Hale on "The Industrial Uses and
Value OF Alcohol" wherein is shown
the relative values OF alcohol and kero-
sene for producing light and heat OF
distilling alcohol from corn Mr.. Hale
says:
"From one hu.hel of corn five gall
Ions OF proof alcohol can be distilled.
This means liquid which is from 80
to 80 per cent. pure and from 1856 to
100 degrees proof-a standard which
allows it to be used in nearly every
product in which it is an ingredient,
and which shows it to be superior to
gasoline and kerosene as fuel and as
an illuminant. Estimating the cost of
bushel OF corn at ~ cents, the entire
expense of gallon of this alcohol is
but 1918 cents, for with the modern
equipment of distilling plant the
cost Of mechanical treatment is &C.
tuaily less than cents per gallon"
The article states that low grade
molasses from sugar cane is another
base for the spirit, which can be OBJ
tanned at 3 cents per gallon. Two
gallons OF this molasses will distill a
gallon OF alcohol 80 per cent. pure, the
average price of which would be less
than 10 cents per gallon. Potatoes
and fruit are also given as alcohol pro.
ducers, 20 per cent. of the potato is
said to represent alcohol.
Prof. Rousseau, of the University Of
Belgium, is quoted as saying that " de.
naturized alcohol at 81 cents a gallon
is more economical than kerosene at
10 cents . gallon, owing to its supe-
rior lighting properties. 1t
has been shown in laboratory investi.
cations that high. grade kerosene con-
tains but 5000 heat units per pound,
while ethyl alcohol contains 1900,
thus being 80 per cent. more produc.
tive of heat. AS already stated, slco.
hol has been made from both corn and
molasses at cost not exceeding 12
cents per gallon. According to Prof.
Rosseau's conclusions, a given quan.
tity for lighting and heating purposes
is equal to at least twice the quantity
OF kerosene. AS recent market quo
tations for the latter fluid at retail are
from Is to 90 cents a gallon, the fac,
seems to be verified beyond question
that the spirit is preferable to the oil
from the standpoint Of economy, aside
from the fact that it is without often.

CLEAN OF POLITICAL SUNSHINE

How Good Is Likely to Spring From Evil by
Awakening People to Action.
At a time when charges Of graft are
made on every hand, when wrong do.
ing has come to be expected from
many Office holders, when individuals,
long trusted and honored, have been
shown to be dishonest, it is easy to be.
come pessimistic and to see only evil
in the path of the republic. At such
time it is refreshing and hope.in-
spring to hear clear voice telling OF
the good OF life and calling to the
down-hearted to cheer up and see the
bright side Of things. A noticeable
instance OF such optimism is brought
to notice in a late baccalaureate ad.
dress by President Angel, at Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, in which he said that the
present reaction Of indignation against
the public iniquities, which have been
exposed, has carried the great mass Of
the people to a moral height which
they seldom have attained. He said
"a more sane and wholesome state of
public feeling has never been seen than
is promised in the near future"
Further on in Mr.. Angelrs address,
he asserts that "the lawyer OF fair
ability, of industry, and OF character is

These things are true, and no oppor-

To Can Cherries.

Get the large, dark ox-hearts if you
can, but if not the white ones will do,
or the small dark red ones. The light
er colored they are the more sugar
they take. Stone them and let them
stand all night. In the morning pour
off the juice, add sugar to taste, and
water if there is not juice enough, and
boil and skim it till it is q rich sirup
if the cherries are sweet pint Of juice
and three.quarters of q pint of sugar
will be about right.
Heat your cans and put in the un-
cooked cherries till they are nearly
full, and then pour over them the
sirup and put on the covers; set the
cans in the wash boiler and fill it with
very hot water and let it stand all
night. The heat OF the sirup and
that OF the water will cook the fruit,
but the flavor and color will be those
of the fresh and uncooked cherries.

fruits except strawberries, and one who
