On the west side of Rome, reached by another dummy fest for Milk. The following test for watered milk is simplicity itself. A well polished knit ting needle is dipped into a deep vessel of milk and immediately withdrawn in an upright position. If the sample is pure some of the fluid will hang to the needle, but if water has been added to the milk even in small proportions the fluid will not adhere to the needle.— American Market and Critical Buyer. Carrying Oil. A cargo may consist of several quali ties of oil. and these are separated from each other by narrow water spaces. Some two years ago a sailing vessel was built by the Barrow Shipbuilding com pany to the order of an Antwerp firm. She was designed to carry petroleum in bulk in competition with the steamers. The success attendant upon this new de parture may lead to the more extensive construction of vessels of a similar nat ure. Petroleum vessels cannot be used for any other purpose on account of their peculiar arrangement and smell. A pro posal to carry palm oil in a similar man ner has been found impracticable on ac count of the corrosive ingredients which attack the steel instead of preserving it, as petroleum does. Apropos to this departure in British shipbuilding it is stated that the Per sians as far back as 1760 were known to carry petroleum in bulk in their own vessels on the Caspian. Petroleum car riers are generally fitted with electric light, so as to insure a minimum of risk from fire. With every precaution that modern science can suggest the carriage of this oil is beset with much difficulty and danger.—Chambers’ Journal. Revolvers in Sight. The policemen of Savannah carry re volvers strapped to their belts in plain sight. They are armed with short clubs as well. They cannot unlimber their shooting irons any quicker than a New York policeman, who usually carries his in his hip pocket, can do it; but with most of the offenders the sight of a weapon in itself has a salutary effect on many of them.—New York Sun. There is no department of British mer cantile industry which has developed with such marvelous rapidity as the pe. troleum trade. Since its beginning in 1359, when the total importations were about 2,000,000 gallons, it has increased by leaps and bounds until, in 1889, the amount brought into the U nited King dom reached the total of 102,647,478 gallons. The first crematorium in the United States was erected at Washington, Pa., by Dr. F. J. Lo Moine at a cost of $1,600. The first body to be cremated was that of Baron de Palm, Dec. 6, 1876. The time occupied in reducing the body to ashes was two hours and ten minutes. Macaulay was 48 when he issued the first and second volumes of his “History of England,” and the third and fourth did not appear until he was 55. Good as are the essays of his early manhood they pale when compared with the work of his maturer years. W. Clark Russell, whose sea stories have such remarkable dash, breeziness and out of door freedom, has long been a hopelees and well nigh helpless invalid, chained to an indoor existence in an in land town. | The Bible of the Buddhists. The bible of the sect is not without beauty and high moral as well as poetic conceptions. There is much in it of the nature of mythology and mysticism, which Buddhists do not pretend to un derstand themselves, yet there is much to admire. From a book of extracts and translations from the Buddhist bible I give a few examples: “The perfect man is like the lily, un soiled by the mud in which it grows.” Another: “The perfect man will not be angry with him who brings him evil re ports of himself, lest he be not able to judge truthfully of the matter whereof he is accused.” Its moral code contains such rules as “Do not steal;” “Do not lie;” “Do not kill;” “Do not be a drunk ard;” “Do not to another what you would not wish done to yourself.” From these examples it may be observed how nearly their moral law runs parallel with our own; and that this has exerted a potent influence in forming the Chi nese character is evident. Also, that they cover the cardinal rules of right living in good society none will question. The system offers motives in the way of rewards for right living and punish ments of evil doing. It develops symp athy, the source of many virtues. It teaches the equality of all men. One man is better or worse than another only as he observes the laws of good so ciety or breaks them. —W. G. Banton in Popular Science. All Mall Matter Is Counted. Persons who read the reports of the number of pieces of mail matter handled at the New York postoffice may have wondered how the figures were obtained. The explanation is simple: Every piece was actually counted. Every employer who stamps mail matter must keep an accurate account of the number of pieces he handles and must make a daily report of the amount of work he has done. He must not only give the grand total, but tell what part was in each of the four classes of mail matter, and also how the pieces reached the postoffice. The - letters, etc., are mailed at the postoffice, in which case they are known as “drops,” collected by carriers, arrive by trains, or, in the case of foreign matter, are brought by steamers. A report must be made of every piece that comes in by any one of these ways. When one considers that an average of about 600,000 letters alone reach the general postoffice here every day, it will be seen that the task of counting them is a big one. Let a person count 1,000 and then try to get some idea of the labor involved in keeping a record of 1,000 times that many, and his head will swim at tho thought. As the counting is done by a number of men, and the letters are subdivided into batches, the labor is not so enormous as might at first be supposed.—New York Tribune. Mnltipolar Low Speed Motors. The principal elevator builders in New York are adopting the multipolar low speed motor for the operation of the pumps of hydraulic elevators. Some of these low speed machines are being con nected direct to the screw shaft of pas senger elevators, while some are belted to power elevators in the ordinary manner. The motors are equipped with self oiling bearings and with self feeding carbon brushes, by which all the trouble some times experienced by attendants unfa miliar with motors is obviated.— New York Commercial Advertiser. lire, are Fom> four'hundred acres of this property’ Th & C. railroad, on its way to Chattanooga, passes through this 1< dy of lane; also the Ron e and Decatur railroad, in operation as far as Gaoscei, Ala.

Munger Who rules in this town ? Depends on the question up. The lamp-chimney ques tion—what sort do you break ? Whatever sort your dealer deals in. How, do you think, he selects his chimneys ? He buys those that cost him least; he can get the regular price for them; and the faster they break the more he sells. That’s how he reasons. Tell him you want Mac beth’s “pearl top” or “pearl glass,” tough glass, transpar ent, clear, not foggy, fine, of right shape and uniform. Tell him you’ll pay him a nickel more a piece, and that will cover his extra costs twice over. Tell him you don’t pro pose to break any more. Try your hand at ruling. Pittsburg. GEO. A.
