The Pleasures of Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul Is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not IN
the mere accumulation of riches but in
being able to acquire wealth with a dis
position to apply it in such a manner
to others-not in the mere giving away
of money, bnt in putting people in a way
to labor and help themselves. There is
no pleasure in oppression. There is no
JOY IN grinding and exactlng gold from
the poor; but there is a great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to offer
steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have moth
ing to do. One OF the greatest enjoyment
of,the prosperous business man consists
in being able to comfortably provide. for
the many employees in his house or man
ufactory. In doing this he is fulfilling
his obligations to society: he becomes g
useful and honored citizen; business to
him is real pleasure; ne enjoys his sue
cess, when they are fairly won because
he feels that he feels that he deserves
them.
When q business man has the right
kind Of purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels q just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
| with the respect and gratitude Of those
whom he directs aid controls In the
management Of his affairs, and he feels
that in benefting himself he IS confer.

The New Year miracles are wrought.
Always night from Old to New!
Night, and the healing balm OF sleep!
Each morn is New Years morn some time,
Morn OF a festival to keep.
All rights are sacred nights to make
Confessions and resolve and prayer:
All days are sacred days to make

Patent Flour.

Patent flour is now coming into gen.
eral use, and many OF our readers may be
interested in reading the following ex-
PLANTATION of what it is and how it is
made, taken from the Prairie Farmer:
Until recently the best -four was made
from winter wheat; or, rather the -four
made from winter wheat sold for the
most money because 1t was white. But
it consisted for the most part Of the
starch Of the grain, while the most Of the
gluten (the most nutritious part of the
grain) went into the middlings.
In grinding spring wheat SO much
bran remained in the flour that it was
too dark to suit the taste Of the con-
sumers. But the middlings, which sold
at a low price, has become the most de-
sirable part Of the grain.
Middling puriie1s-by which the
bran is separated from the middlinggs-
have made revolution in the business
Of milling.
By the new process the wheat is
ground as before, except that the effort
Of the miller are directed to obtaining
the most middlings possible, and these
are placed upon large horizontal sieves
| which are constantly agitated, whileat
the same time by ingenious devices q
draft eff air is rushed up through the
sieyes which carries off the BRAN
the purified middlings are then re-.
ground and the product is "patent'
flour, containing the glutenous, or most
nutritious portion of the grain. Thus II
is explained why the hald spring wheats
of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin ano
Dakota bring the highest price in ths
market, whereas only few years agt
| they commanded only the lowest prices

The Worlds Sugar Crop.

The annual sugar production OF the
world is about 100000 tons, or, in
round numbers, twelve thousand million
pounds, of which three-fourths is the
product of sugar cane and about one
fourth of the sugar-beet, the quantity
from other sources icing comparatively
insignificant. The countries producing
cane sugar, named in the order of their
importance, are the West Indies-Cuba
and Porto Rico-wlth an annual produc-
tionot at least 100000 tons; British India

Opening Of a Chestnut Burr.

"Oh no, we just wanted to find out.''
''Well there's a few trees back there,

The boys blushed with the pride Of
conscious goodness.
"When will the owner be back?''
''Well, not before dark, reckon
The boys respectfully thanked the old
man, waited till he got out Of sight,
jumped the fence and were soon shaking
down the burrs.
The shaking was easy, but the opening
OF the chestnut burrs was more difficult
and unpleasant. At last the boys had a
splendid pile Of handsome, brown nuts
on the around, and they prepared to put
them in the bags they brought with
them.
''Please don. take any more trouble
said the benevolent old man who stood
by thes tence beamlng kindly on the
startled boys. "I'm not so strong as I
