tumorous department. The Debasing Cure. In si certain Washington household lives an old "darky" cook of the typical "mammy" soit, whose devotion to the family is of old-time fidelity. She had, however, one grave fault?a fondness for the cup which cheers but inebriates as well. She conscientiously tried to overcome her weakness, but again and again yielded to temptation, until the patience of her mistress was almost exhausted. She had an earnest talk with the old servant, explaining that she would be forced to send her away unless complete i-eform in this regard should be fulfilled as well as promised. The old aaray was gi-ici-?u~iciurii anu for another chance, saying that she was willing to do without anything, if only permitted to stay. A quick thought came to the mistress: why not help the poor old creature who suffered from infirmity of will? She explained that there were medicines which, if taken faithfully, would keep one's feet in the paths of temperance and sobriety. Mammy reiterated her willingness to take anything which would help her?some curative medicine was bought and given her. and a policy of silence was decided upon till the medicine should have had time to get its work. At the end of a fortnight or so mammy came into the family sitting room, looking the picture of health, the whites of her eyes clear, and happiness radiating from her. Rolling her big black eyes at her mistress, she said: "Dot stuff you done give me. Mis' Mary, hah sho'ly tuk away all taste fo' spiritual things!"?Philadelphia- Ledger. * ?- rr?r.,i ivi'rinv?Mr Polk Miller of Richmond blew into the editorial office of the Almanack like a fresh breeze from the south a few days ago, and was promptly asked, of course, for the latest darky story in Virginia. He said it was about substituting a wild turkey for a tame turkey. One of his friends bought a turkey from old Uncle Ephraim and asked hirrf, in making the purchase, if it was a tame turkey. "Oh, yais, sir; it's a tame tu'key ol light." "Now, Ephraim. are you sure it's a tame turkey?" "Oh. yais. sir; dere's no so't o' doubt 'bout dat. It's a tame tu'key ol right." He consequently bought the turkey, and a day or two later when eating it he came across several shot. Later on when he met old Ephraim on the street he said; "Well, Ephraim, you told me that was a tame turkey, but I faund some shot in it when I was eating it." Oh. dat war a tame tu'key ol right," was Uncle Kphraim's reiterated rejoiner, "but de fac" is, boss. I'se gwine to tell yer in confidence dat dem ere shot was intended for me."?Advertisers' Almanack. It Dip Not Work.?Mrs. Billings was installing the new cook, a maiden viniond trw whom the kitchen contrivances of America were new and wonderful. "This, Ina," said the lady, indicating a perforated wooden board that hung against the kitchen wall, "is the order list. See, it says 'butter, eggs, sugar, coffee, tea, molasses"? everything that we need to eat. When ever we are out of any of these things all you need to do is to place one of these little pegs in the hole opposite the name and the things will be ordered." Mrs. Billings is not a methodical housekeeper. There were several consecutive days when she completely forgot the existence of the order list in the kitchen, but Ina labored with it faithfully. "Meesis," pleaded Ina, after struggling with the order board for three, days. "I tank does board must be out of order. I push dose peg in yust so far as I can, out noiung win come-?no egg. no butter, no nottings."?Youth's Companion.

As a matter of fact, I suppose he is one of those dreamy sort of chaps and you never can tell about that kind. "I was sorry after I said it," he continued. "but recently he had made a most unnecessary blunder, and I lost my temper. " 'I say. Jones,' I sneered, 'you'd make a pretty good clerk, maybe, if you had a little, more sense!' "He looked at me for a minute, with a sort of half smile. 'Didn't it ever occur to you. Mr. Brown,' he said, 'that if I had a little more sense I wouldn't be a clerk at all?'"?N. Y. Tribune. Optimistic to the End.?Some time ago there was a flood in western Pennsylvania. An old fellow who had lost nearly everything he possessed was sitting on the roof of the house as it floated along when a boat approached. "Hello. John." "Hello, Dave." "Are your fowls all washed away. John?" "Yes, but the ducks can swim." replied the old man. "Apple trees gone?" "Well, they said the crop would be a failure, anyhow."

A number of visiting knights from Rock Hill, Blackstock. Winnsboro, Ridgeway and other points were present, and assisted materially in making the occasion a success. Thirteen tyros crossed the burning sands during the evening, and coupled with the experience in the wreck a few hours previously, they had enough of excitement to do them for quite a while. The exercises lasted until far in the morning, and those who stayed throughout pronounced the occasion as one of the most successful and enjoyable of the kind they ever witnessed. The new lodge starts off with a membership of about twenty. The following officers were sworn in: D. I* Smith, C. C.: H. A. Tibbs, V. C.; J. O. Andrews, prelate; J. A.

Many are just through planting cotton Miss Margaret Shehane. an elderly maiden of the Fork Hill community, died last Saturday night. She was a sister of Mr. James Shehane. and was about 65 years of age. The remains were buried at Fork Hill Sunday The Yorkville Enquirer is of the opinion that a candidate for a county office should make a "thorough house to house canvass," as the "best way to succeed." It doesn't think the mere fulfillment of the executive committe appointments sufficient?"elections under such circumstances are the exception rather than the rule." says our contemporary. Of course, this canvassing business is a matter for each candidate to determine for himself, but it occurs to us that The Enquirer's plan imposes a lot of unnecessary hardship and expense on the candidate and no little worry and bother on the people. Necessarily the greater part of a house to house canvass has to be made during the farmer's busiest season, and to be interrupted in his work from time to time by some thirty or forty different candidates is no small matter. The country is more populous now than it was years ago when the "house to house" plan was in vogue, and to visit every home now would indeed be a big undertaking. To be at all effective the house canvass would have to be thorough, that is to say. every man's place would have to be visited, otherwise the candidate might lose more votes than he gains, for many a man would consider that he had been slighted were a candidate to call on his neighbors and pass him by. But. as stated, this is something for the candidates to decide for themselves. THE ANDEAN WALL. Crossing the Chilean Cordillera In Winter and In Summer. The wall of the Andes begins at the Caribbean and runs all the way down the western edge of South America until it trails off into the Antarctic like a jagged dragon's tail. It is a very high wall and a very wide one?sometimes scores and sometimes hundreds of miles across?and except in a few places all but impassable. There is the Oroya railroad in central Peru, the highest in the world, which will take you from the drowsy tropical coast at breakfast time and bv early afternoon set you on the roof ol the divide, shivering and breathing fast. 15.500 feet above the sea. There is a railroad up to Lake Titicaca from Mollendo, in souinern reru, n huh nuwcn shoulder of the Andes at an altitude about a thousand feet lower, and there is a railroad running down into Chile and the coast from the Boliver plateau. The only railroad highway which crosses the continent, however, is that which climbs the Chilean mountains to the pass of Uspallata and runs thence across the pampa to Buenos Aires. Some day this will he a through line l'rom sea to sea. and in a dozen or more places tunnel g^ngs are nibbling under the upper Cordillera. But now it is open -only during the summer, and even then the fourteen kilometers over the Cumbre. or summit of the pass, must be made by stage. In winter no attempt is made to cross, and from Mendoza. in the Argentine foothills, iivor fn T.ns Andf?.< on the Chilean side. about 1 ~?0 miles, the road is closed. The Andes in these parts rise to appalling heights, the loftiest of which is Aconcagua's 24,000 feet, and the pass itself is not far from 23.000?3.900 meters, to be exact. During the winter ?the months of our northern summer? ii is buried in snow, the deadly temporal is likely at any time to whirl down on the traveler, and crossing the cordillera is as different a thing from crossing it in summer as crossing a prairie carpeted with spring violets is different from venturing into it during a blizzard, when a man may lose his way and freeze to death a furlong from the ranch house door. Whoever tries tu cross after the 1st of June is supposed to take his life in his hands.?

Triumph of Electro-Chemistry of Importance to Farmers. A recent discovery. Unit of electrically extracting: nitrogen from the aii in form available as plant food and at a cost that enables the new synthetic product to compete in the markets with tlie Chili nitrate, is a triumph for electro-chemistry second to none among all its conquests. The author of this truly remarkable feat is Christian Hirkeland, a Scandinavian scientist, | proressor 01 pnystcs in me unncmu^ of Christiania. His experiments were begun only four years ago, but already a large factory is in successful operation' at Notodden. The significance of Prof. Birkeland's accomplismment lies in the fact that he demonstrated the possibility of making nitrogen combine with oxygen in large quantities and at a relatively low expense. Of course, the mere fact of the combination as a laboratory possibility had been demonstrated in an older generation by Cavendish, and more recently by Sir William Crookes and Lord Rayleigh in England and Profs. Mutjmann and Hofer in Germany. Moreover, the experiments ol Messrs. Bradley and Lovejoy at Niagara Falls gave promise of a complete solution of the problem, and had, indeed, produced a nitrogen compound from the air in commercial quantity, but not at a cost that made competition with the Chili nitrate possible. Electricity as an Agent. All these experimenters had adopted electricity as the agent for extracting the nitrogen. The American investigators employed a current of 10,000 volts; the Germans carried the current to fiO.OOO volts. The flame of the electric arc thus produced readily ignited tile nitrogen with which it came in contact; the difficulty was that it came in nonioni with sr> little. Dcsnite in genious arrangements of multiple poles, the burning surface of the multiple arc remained so small In proportion to the expenditure of energy that the cost of the operation far exceeded the commercial value of the product. The peculiarity of Prof. Birkeland's method is based on the curious fact that when the electric current is made to pass through a magnetic field, its line of flame spreads out into a large disk, like a flaming sun. The sheet of flame thus produced represents no greater expenditure of energy than the momentary flash of light that the same current would produce outside the magnetic field. But obviously, it adds enormously to the afclight surface that comes in contact with the air? and hence in like proportion to the amount of nitrogen that will be ignited. In point of fact, this burning of nitrogen takes place so rapidly in laboratory experiments as to vitiate the air of the room very quickly. To the casual reader, unaccustomed to chemical methods, there may seem a puzzle in the explanation just out lined. It may be asked, "How can nitrogen ignited and burned be of service us nitrogen." Such a thought is natural enough when one thinks of combustion as applied to ordinary fuel, which certainly seems to disappear when it is burned. But, of course, the fuel has not really disappeared except in a very crude visual sense; it has merely changed its form. In the main its solid substance has become gaseous, but every atom of it is still just as real as before; and the chemist could, under proper conditions, collect and weigh and measure the transformed gases, and even retransform them into solids. In the case of the atmospheric nitrogen, as in the case of ordinary fuel, buining consists essentially of the union of nitrogen atoms with atoms of oxygen. The province of the electric current is to produce the high temperature at which alone such union will take place. The portion of the nitrogen thus burned is still gaseous, but it is no longer in the state of pure nitrogen; its atoms are united with oxygen atoms to form nitrous oxide gas. This gas, mixed with the atmosphere ir which it has been generated, may now be passed through a reservoir of water, and the new gas combines with a portion of the water to form nitric acid, which is made up of hydrogen, oxygin and nitrogen, and is a very active substance. It is as marked in its eagerness to unite with other substances as pure nitrogen is in its aloofness. In the Factory at Notodden. In the commercial nitrogen factory at Notodden. the transformed nitrogen compound is brought into contact with a solution of milk of lime, with the resulting formation of nitrate of lime. Stored in closed cans as a milky fluid, the transformed air is now ready for the market. A certain amount of it will be used in other factories for the production of various nitrogenous chemicals?for example, gunpowder? but the bulk of it will be shipped to agricultural districts to be spread over 1 ' M * * * It--.. me SUll as it?rim%crr, liuu iw ur auaui ucu in the growth of food plants. Heretofore the farmer has been obliged to send to far-off nitrate beds for material to take the place of that removed by his successive crops. The most important of the nitrate beds are in Chili and have been in operation since 1S30. The draft upon these beds has been increased enormously in recent years, with the increasing needs of the world's production. In 1S70, for example. only 150,000 tons of nitrate were shipped; but in 1890 the annual output had grown to 800.000 tons, and it is now approaching the 2.000.000-ton mark. Conservative estimates predict that at the present rate of increased output the entire supply will be exhausted in less than twenty years. With this impending calamity it became important to try to utilize the 25.000.000 tons of nitrogen which is weighing down upon every square mile of the earth's surface. Farmer's Constant Problem. Without a renewal of the nitrogen supply for the crop-bearing soil, growth would become a minimum. When there was no tilling of the soil the yearly decay of vegetation would replenish almost perpetually the amount exhausted in growth. Hut with every pound of grain or of meat shipped to the market a portion of the nitrogen is definitely removed from the ground. The electric current has made it possible to take nitrogen from the ail- and to form it into a soluble salt which would be carried down to the roots of nitrogen storing plant foods. This much has the Scandinavian scientist done, and in removing the process from the laboratory into the factory he has settled one of the problems constantly confronting the farmer. Prof. Birkeland is hard at work upon other problems in his wonderful laboratory. He sees no bounds to the ambitions of synthetic chemistry, since it has succeeded in manufacturing Imadder, indigo and a multitude of ml nor compounds, and he hopes some day to manufacture rubber, starch, sugar and even albumen Itself, the very basis of life. Rubber is a relatively sim, pie compound of the hydrogen, carbon . and oxygon; albumen has the same constituents, plus nitrogen.
