Graham Flour.

The St. Louis Trade Journal in q late

about Graham flour:
Because Graham -four is recommended
as very healthy article Of food. it should
not be assumed that all Graham -four is
equally good. or even nutritious. The fact
is, Graham fOur Is rapidly coming to be as
much an article of suspicion rs ground

sand and one adulterations that are daily
practised. The cOmmonest form In which
Graham 6our is seen Is that made from
medium Or poor class wheat, and while not
properly adulteratiOn. it may be justly
characterized as swindling of the meanest
kind, for the reason that the product is
largely used BY dyspeptlcs, and others in
imperfect health. The miller who palms

6ete noir OF the tramp who
sits in the shade and listens to the man
who tells him that he ought TO ride in his
carrlage-was introduced to the country
In 1850, the number of farmers and agri-
cultural laborers In the twelve States in
which 1t is now chiefly used was !, ,3Ol 1853,
and in 1870, 2,64l, $50. The difference In
wages was still greater. In 1850, farm
hands were paid 48 month, and harvest
hands from 80 cents TO $l.50 day; while
In 1870 the wages of the former were $50 q
month, and Of the latter from q to $3.50 y
day. This year farmers willingly paid
harvest hands from 81 so to q so per day,
while the manufacture Of reaping una

Of skilled workmen. The same remark ia

could not pay to them deserved respect.
lneXorable law is asserted and she is pun

When man eats or drinks what does
not conduce to the healthy nourishment of
the body. he will suffer for it sooner or
later Nor will it avert the penalties that
he can plead his ignorance of the effects OF
his indulgence. The diseased brain or the
disordered stomach vindicates the dignity
of law.
When a lady deceives her husband in the

when he wishes to buy only with cash, she
endures the consequences when the bills

her husband, in the loss of his confidence,
and perhaps, later, In the evil influence of
her example on her children. That she has

operation on the narrow field of individual

The Battle Of Maine.

Aue 0Attl0 VI ASAuo'
II was an aged Democrat,
Whose locks were thin and gray;
To bim his little grandson spoke
And said, Now gran'ps say,
Tell Of the fight In Maine TO me.
And how you won the victory"
The grsndsire raised his feeble arm.
''0h. twas 3 glorious day.
And fierce and strong. and sll day long
Ragged loud tre dreadful fray.
And when night closed on US. why We
Had won . famous victory"
.'But tell me what the victory meant,
And what you fought about;
And tell me how the Democrats
That you were with. came outy'
why. that ] cannot do" said he;
But twas famous victory.
"In hope and strength we waded in.
But when the day was done
OF all our numerous candidates
We hadn't elected one.
We hadn't point, that could see,
But twas q famous victory
by noon. our party strength WAS gone,
And We kept right on the wane,
And the chill. cold hard Of death lay on
The Democrats OF Maine,
But Till they said-I can't just see
That twas q famous victory.
We never elected a candidate.
We were kicked clear out in the cold.
And felt when read the black returns,
A thousand centuries old.
But the New York World said Hope-pee
Another glorious victory
And since We won that bloody Fray
just why. l can't explain,
They never have found Democrat
Alive in the st ate of M Maine.
They hate that state. it's queer TO me,
Since winning ihsi famous victory"
His grandson cried. but l can't see how,
II they licked you out Of your eyes,
And scooped you" the grsndslre said.
THAT is Just where the trouble lies:
It's the Duichiest Kind Of Greek to me,
But know it's famous victory

The other day Mr.. Tilden laid down
his favOrite paper, the New York Tribune,
and picked up his Bible, and read: For
there is nothing covered that shall not be
revealed; neither hid, that shall not be
known. Therefore whatsoever ye have
spoken in darkness shall be heard in light;
aud that which ye have spoken in the ear
In closets. shall be proclaimed on the
house tops" And. Mr.. Tilden laid the
book away. and groaned 10 the bitterness
Of spirit and said he would bet 91O, 900 that

mixture is 306 pounds Of stuff costing about
S6.45, or fraction over cents pound !;
while Graham flour, made from the best
wheat. cannot be sold now at less than 3

stun Is being swallowed by people In search
OF better health, when they would do about

There is a fortune in store for the miller
here In st. Louis who will make q strictly
pure article Of Graham flour from the best
winter wheat, from which the outer husk
of the bran shall have been removed before
grinding. That man will establish good
reputation, make money, and confer q
