REFINING SUGAR.
Process by Which the Best White
Products Are Obtained.
The method used by the best sugar
refineries Is subtsuutially as follows:
The raw sugar Is dissolved In large
cisterns on the ground floor, enough
hot water being added to produce a
specific gravity of 1.26. The solution
Is then drawn through a connecting
pipe having a coarse wire strainer Into
large pumps, by whlcn It Is pumped
Into the highest story of the building,
usually the seventh or eighth. It there
passes Into vessels heated by steam
colls to a temperature of about 210 F.
Milk of lime is added to the solution in
these pans for the purpose of neutral
izing any add which it may contain.
From these pans the liquid passes
down to the next floor, where it is fil
tered through a series of bags, each
made of two thicknesses of cloth, an
outer one of coarse and an inner one
of fine cotton. The bags are Inclosed
In boxes to prevent cooling. After
leaving these the sirup Is run through
filters of boneblack. which absorbs all
the coloring matter left In It. After
leaving these It Is pumped Into vacuum
pans—large vessels heated by steam
and exhausted by air pumps. The
pressure being thus reduced, the liquid
Is boiled at a lower and lower tempera
ture until, at 140 degrees, evaporation
Is complete and the sirup rapidly crys
tallizes Into sugar.
This Is the process by which the
best white sugar is made, while poor
er qualities are prepared by a method
less complete.—St. Louis Republic.
NAMING A JAPANESE BABY.
Sometimes It le a Rite as Solemn as a
Bishop’s Election.
Often the naming of a Japanese
baby is a simple matter, for the father
or grandfather speaking before the
company the name of some famous
man. if the child is a boy, or of some
favorite flower, if it is a girl. For
girls. Hana, flower: Yukl. snow; Ai.
love, are the favorites of parents with
a poetical strain.
The sterner country folk choose for
their daughters Matsu, pine: Take,
bamboo (if the bamboo joints are ex
act hence the exactness of virtue):
Ume, plum, since the plum bears both
cold and snow bravely. For boys.
Ichiro, first boy: Toshlo. smart: Iwao.
strong, and Isamu, brave, are very
popular.
Where belief is strong in the power
of a name the family in holiday dress
often assembles in a .large room. Bach
writes a name upon a slip of paper
and lays it reverently before the house
shrine. From the group a very young
child Is chosen and led before this
shrine, and the fate of the name is de
cided by the small hand which reach
es out for a slip. Though It is a fes
tive occasion, the selection of a name
is made with a seriousness worthy of
the election of a bishop. Many be
lieve devoutly that this rite influences
the baby’s entire future, and therefore
the one whose slip Is chosen Incurs
from the moment of choice great re
sponsibility for the child’s welfare.—
Frances Little In Century Magazine.
The Name Saratoga.
The original name of Saratoga was
"Serachtiigue.” About the middle of
the eighteenth century it was “Saragh
toge.” During the administration of
Governor Leisler it was "Sarachtoge.”
Isn't this quaint—from 1G89:
Upon ye news yt three People should be
klld at Bartel Vromans at Sarachtoge by
ye Indians,—
Itesolved by ye Convention yt Lief
Jochim Staets forwlth goe with ten men
to Sarachtoge to see how ye matter Is. &
bring us an accompt with ye first. & yt
he Cito send a Post hither with ye tide
Ings.
Spelling reformers would be delight
ed with "klld.” And “ye" is shorter
than “the.” and “yt" is shorter than
“that” “Goe” is expnnsive, but “for
with" for “forthwith" is a contraction.
Schoolcraft thinks that Saratoga is de
rived from tile Indian words “assarat,”
sparkling, and "oga." place.—New York
Press.
A Riming Will.
Perhuiw the most peculiar will ever
written was probated in England at
Doctors' Commons July 17. 1789. It
ran as follows:
I give and bequeath,
When I am laid underneath.
To my two loving sisters, most dear,
The whole of my store,
Were it twice as much more,
Which God’s goodness has granted me
here.
And, that none may prevent
This my will and Intent
Or occasion the least of law racket.
With a solemn appeal
I confirm, sign and seal
This the true act and deed of Will Jacket.
The Way It Felt.
"Here's something queer." said the
dentist "You say this tooth has never
been worked on before, but I find
small flakes of gold on my Instru
ment"
“1 think you must have struck my
back collar button." replied the vic
tim.—Philadelphia Ledger.
All the Difference.
“Society dropped the De Lacys be
cause they had a skeleton In their
closet I understand?"
“No—because they didn’t keep It
there.”—Cleveland Leader.
Domestic 8oience Applied.
Demosthenes was practicing oratory
with pebbles in his mouth.
“Fine!" we assured him. “You can
talk while eating your wife's biscuits."

IMITATION DIAMONDS.
Th«y Lose Their 8parkle When They
Lose Their Sharp Edges.
Only the expert cun tell an Imitation
diamond from a real atone when the
imitation is new. hut after the fake
stone has been worn for a little time
It soon loses its lustre. It Is this which
makes a real diamond valuable. No
matter how long it Is worn It will keep
Its sparkle almost as well as ever.
The real reason for this is the hard
ness of the diamond. It Is not due to
any special quality In the stone Itself,
except Its transparency and its hard
ness.
The sparkle of a diamond depends on
the sharpness of the edges and the
points of Its facets. When the light
falls on one of these It Is reflected to
another facet, lying at a different angle
and Is refracted again, and so on.
many times. Each time the light Is
reflected It gives a point of brilliance,
and, In most instances, splits np the
light so that the red and blue rays are
seen.
The Imitation stone, to begin with,
seldom has as many facets as a dia
mond. But even If It bad. the sharp
ness of these edges would wear off.
Even exposure to the air will wear
away any substance that Is not ex
tremely hard. And just as soon as
there Is any dulling of the edges of a
facet, so soon there Is a dimming of the
brilliance of the stone.—New York
American.
CALLED THE GAME.
Two Foul Balls Shocked the Australian
Sense of Propriety.
A game of baseball that was sched
uled as a feature of the police and fire
men's patriotic carnival at the agricul
tural show grounds came to an abrupt
and dramatic conclusion almost before
It was started. It was a mutch game.
America versus Australia. ,
In America’s second inning a player
deflected a fast ball straight for the
densest portion of the crowd, and a
scream was heard. The ambulance
men rushed to the spqt and found that
a woman had been struck on the head
by the ball, but was not seriously in
jured.
Without waiting to see if any dam
age had been done the players coolly
procured another ball and continued
the game just as if nothing out of the
ordinary had happened. A few mo
ments later this ball was also deflect
ed to the npi>er story of the pavilion,
striking a man on the shoulder.
At this Mr. Flowers, the minister for
health, who was present, rushed out on
to the ground and called out. "Stop this
silly game!"
The players promptly obeyed his or
ders, and play ceased.—Sydney (Aus
tralia) Herald.
The City.
Cities are made, not born. No two
cities are alike. The sum of one city is
never equal to all the parts of another.
Once a city, not always a city; some
times only a dust heap. A city is made
up of a part of the country filled with
inhabitants. It consists of houses,
streets and debts. No city is complete
without a hospital and a franchise
plant The hospital Is used to shelter
Its victims and to provide its surgeons
with plenty of working material. The
franchise plant enables it to support
politicians. A city without politicians
would be like a steam laundry without
any steam.
Cities are an antidote for farms. Up
to date, however, no cure has been
found for the antidote.—Life.
The Stuart Penny.
A pamphlet published in 1077, enti
tled “The Worth of a Penny, or, a Cau
tion to Keep Money, With the Causes
of the Scarcity and Misery of the Want
Thereof In These Hard and Merciless
Times," contains a list of .articles ob
tainable for a penuy in the days of
Charles II. These include “a dish of
coffee to quicken your stomach und re
fresh your spirits.” “a fair cucumber"
and “portions of such commodities as
nuts, vinegar, grapes, cake, onions and
oatmeal." The catalogue of penny
worths obtainable at an apothecary’s
is a lengthy one and includes “lettuce
to make you sleep, mithridate to make
you sweat and aniseed, which may
save your life in a fainting or swound."
—London Mirror.
Odd Name Oddly Won.
The inn known as the “Same Yet.”
at Prestwich. has a curious history,
which Mr. Hack wood relates: “The
house originally bore the ‘Seven Stars.’
but many years ago it became neces
sary to have its faded sign repainted.
When the painter asked the landlord
what he was to put on the board he
received the answer, ‘The same yet’
And the man took him at his word.”—
London News.
Certainly Foolish.
We never heard of a man who tried
to free himself of a manslaughter
charge by pleading guilty to murder,
but an up state man tried to prove he
wasn’t crazy the other day by claim
ing he was in love.—Milwaukee Jour
