ORIGIN OF MILLS.

In early ages, coin was planted in mortars
by hand. Solomon alludss 10 that custom,
when he says: "Though thou shouidsl bray
Tool in q mortar with peslle among wheat,
yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
The hand mills, of later tunes were of very
simple conjunction, and were operated prln-
cipally by women. In process of time, shafts
were ADDED TO these machines, and they
were worked by cattle. Water mills we're
invented about The time of julius Cesar but
they did not come into general use till A. D.

ted in the east and were introduced into Eu-
rope by The Crusaders. This however, is
doubted, as such mills were in use in Eu.
rope as early as tho first Crusade. Feudal
lords claimed the privilege of erecting all
corn mills and requiring their vassals to
grind al their mills, called ban.miiis. The
building of such mill was then very expen-
sive, and none but lords and barons could
afford the expense; hence they claimed all
tolls, from their dependents, by way OF remu-
nera.ion. At one time .he monks of Ho!-
land desired 10 erect a windmill sor their
own convenience; the lord OF The soil op.
posed their purpose saying that the wind in
that district belonged TO him.
The monks appealed 10 their bishop, who
in great Indignation, claimed spiritual control
OF the winds, in his diocese, and granted
letters patent 10 The holy fathers. By i'm.
provenenls introduced IN france, in The
grinding OF corn, abou, tho i7so, the amount
Of flour obtained was nearly doubled.
Saw mills are more recent in their origin,
than corn mills. The earliest method known
for procuring planks, was by splitting the
trunks Of trees with wedges, and hewIng the
sides with axes.
Until lhe middle OF the sixteenth century
all the plank iE Norway were thus manufac.
lured. The saw is an instrument of very
remote antiquity. The inventor Of it like all
other beneiactors ranked among the GODS

Of a snake in severing piece Of wood. The
saw was used in pit saving during most OF
lhedark ages. 1t was first adapted to mills,
in Germany, in 1922. Saws were not intro
duced into England until 1867. The first
constructed mills were destroyed by mobs.-

Through the garden's lonely bowers,
Till The green leaves dance again,

Wake The cowslp by The riI,
Wake the yellow dadodil,

Build thy nest and rear Thy Young,

Hurt or harm thou needst not fear;
Nothing rude shall venture near.

Shouting from The open door,
With her clear voice DER and DER,

The LAND FEvER.-Speculation in the lands
has reached height in the West, that the
Government land Offices are besieged by the
buyers. Recently, a. Usage, two thousand
persons arrived for The purpose Of purchas-

posted themselves before the doors of the
office on Saturday night, with their provis.
IONS in their pocket, and remained there till
Monday morning, when the sales began

BLACK TEETH.-The cause Of this disease
in hogs, is close confinement from The ground.
It's symptoms are these: The hog loses ap-
petite, becomes dizzy, and Is weak in the
hind legs the teeth are black. Prevention
and cure may be affected by giving the ami
nal clean, dry pen well s,rewed with wood
and ashes, and plenty OF turf Tor him to root
over; feed him we'll, too. In bad cases, re-
moval OF the worst teeth is thought good, bus
this may be avoided by due care. Many
farmers and agricultural writers, ridienle the
idea that swine are liable al all to such a dis
ease. They deny that well authenticated
case has ever been proven.

JOHN PHGNIx IN THE LADIES CAR.
