THE PEOPLES FR1HNB.-Itis sus,

THE PEOPLES FRIEND. 1t is suscepti-
bic of easy proof that the sewing machine has
been a greater blessing to the masses Of Ameri-
eau people than any invention of the present
century. Nothing else has done so much to
save the lives and health of the wives and
mothers, the patient, overworked woman of
the land, who, as a class, most needed relief
from the burthens Of every day life. Every
father and husband fails in his duty il he
neglects to endow his home with such a
triumph OF science as the Wilson shuttle sew
ing machine. Machines will be delivered at

moreover, would be fre-proof. 1t is
also suggested that for lowering heavy
buildings, which, on a change of street
levels, have been left to high above
the roadway, the sand-bags could be
placed beneath, and their contents al
lowed gradually to escape, thus letting
the load slowly settle down.

A RoMANCE WITHOUT A PROPER HERo

a ROMANCE WITHOUT A PROPER HERO
Recently a Young lady fell into the
river Calne, in Willis, England, and would
have been drowned but for her rescue
by young man, who swan with his
fair charge to the bank, amid the hearty
cheers of the loOkeFs-On. The young
couple, very little the worse for their
recent ducking, were escorted by the
admiring crowd to the nearest hotel,
where the hero was re warded by being
entertained at party in honor of the
happy termination of what might have
been very lamentable affair. COmpli-
mentary speeches and high encomiums
were showered on the lion of the
evening"" But the greatest honor of
all was In store. The happy father, in
the presence of the blushing maiden,
offered him her hand and $500. This
unlooked-for and spontaneous act of
generosity evoked general satisfaction,
and the guests were considerably disap-
pointed when the gallant rescuer, after
thanking the enthusiastic parent for his
kind offer, announced that, although he
should be glad TO meet Miss - again
as a friend, he certainly could not
accept her hand. What actusted him
to this decision does not appear to be
known. Most likely he was engaged
already.

HUMAN SACRIFICEs IN BABYLoN.-An

this custom was prevalent among the
ancient Chaldeans, who believed that
the 'immolatiOn had a vicarious eff

who were wont as they thought, thus to
explate their own transg This
rite, full description of which was given
on one of the tablets, was known by the
Chaldeans as 1.-THE sacrifice of Bel, or
of righteousness" Mr.. Sayce con-
cluded his paper with a list of refer

The Great FIGURING Mill.
Something About the s,New Process
Flour"

We noticed in Harper's Weekly last week,
very interesting article on the early history of
Minnesota, and the rapid development of
various branches of industries. In speaking of
its manufacturing interest it says: "Ex-Gov. q
c. Washburn has built, and is now operating
the largest FIGURING Mill on the continent and
the Fourth 10 capacity in the world. The
machinery and stones are the best that could be
found in France. The art of flour making has
been reduced to something near pt rfection in
this mill. The Minnesota wheat is said to be
the best in the world. "The new process" the
use of what is known as the "Middlings Pur-
fer" has revoutionized the manufacture of
-four The machinery by which this result is
accomplished is very ingenious. 1t was origi-
nally introduced from France. Int has since
been largely improved upon. Within the past
year Gov Washburn has introduced into his
new mill machinery costing $4,000, such as no
other mill on the continent has, thus giving
him an advantage over other mills. The result
has been the production of machinery SO deli
cate as to extract all of the better qualities of
the wheat kernel without impairing the vitality,
thus producing the whitest and best flour the
wheat is capable of yielding. This process con-
sists in removing the bran from the wheat By
subjecting it to grinding, the dust and bran
being reeled out, leaving a mass of rounded
coarse kernels of wheat meat or smnel, which
in this form can be subjected to blast Of air
which carries away the dust and impurities of
the exterior coatiDgs. The smnel thus purified
and ground again produces this excellent -four,
and which yields from forty to fifty lbs. more
bread to the barrel, and which has come to be
the delight of the housekeeper, because of its
absolute purity and snowy Wilderness By the
old process, the flour being made by only one
grinding, the dust and impurities were ground
mp and intermingled with the -four, reducing
its color, richness and rising qualities. Messrs.
J. A. Christian and brother, two scientific and
experienced milers as we'll as business men are
connected with and have charge of the mill.
The full capacity of this mill is some $500 bar
rels per day or over seven hundred and fifty
thousand barrels per year.
We learn the flour is being largely introduced
into this state, and that it verifies all that is
claimed for it, viz, thu best flour that is made
on the continent. May success attend our dis
tingushed Maine boys enterprise.

stained much fibre in Southern Texas, reduc-
ing the state per centage Of condition from SO
to SO In North Carolina and Tennessee Sep
TENDER was cold and the harvest is late with
less favorable prospects. A reduction of the

by storms and the Increasing prevalence of
rust. South Carolina is 3 per cent lower from
similar conditions. In several counties of
Florida the caterpillar has been injurious.
Taking survey Of the whole field the re-
ductior of the condition since the September re-
turns is an undoubted fact: though the depre-
citation is slight as compared with the October
returns of last year. The crop prospects are
worse in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
but decidedly better in all the states from Ala
