What There is in Wheat,

The wheat grain is fruit consisting
of a seed and its coverings. All the
middle part Of the grain is occupied by
large, thin cells, full Of a powdery sub
stance, which contains all the starch of
the wheat. Outside the central starchy
mass is single row of sQuarish cells
filled with yellowish material, very
rich in heterogeneous, that is, flesh
forming matter. Beyond this again
there are six thin coats or coverings,
containing much mineral matter, both
Of potash and phosphates. The outer
most coat is of little value. The mill
products Of these coverings of the seed
are peculiarly rich in nutriment, and
fine flour is robbed of large percen-
tage of valuable and nutritious food.
Middlings not only contain more fbrin
and mineral matter than fine flour, but
also more fat. The fibrous matter or
outer coat is indigestible, forms one
sixth of the bran, but not one-hun-
dredth of the fine -four. Wheat con-
tains the greatest quantity of gluten
and the smallest of starch rye, a med
ium proportion Of both, while in barley,
oats aud corn, the smallest proportion
of starch and the smallest of gluten are
to be found. In practice 100 pounds of
flour will make from 1873 to 1877 pounds
OF bread, good average being 1856
pounds; hence barrel of 1876 pounds
should yield 266 one-pound loaves.

A Gem Worth $I6,OOO,OGO.
THE GlObe.l

The Berlin Borsen zietilng says that
tanned jewel of quite fabulous value,
made known to the general public by
the reports of the last session of the
Polytechnic Society. This noble stone
is sapphire, and is the property of one
of the memb ers of that learned body.
1t weighs "12a 10th" a little more than
six ounces. The jury of the Polytech-
mic Society have settled it's value at the
frightful sum of g., 100000 Of marks, or
E3,200,0 1000 Of English money. 1t need
hardly be said that such treasure is
not likely to find a purchaser at such a
price.
1t is contended by some of the adopts
that the stone is not perfectly pure, so
that its price may be reduced; but it
can never be so far lowered as to tempt
the richest and most eccentric collector
in the world to give anything like the
sum which must be asked for it. In
the year 1872 Berlin mineralogist of
fered to go SO far as $1,000 marks, but in
vain, as the unique jewel had already
been refused III 1860 to German prince
who had offered far larger price. Its
present possessor has placed his treasure
III otaIe CUSTODY Tor the sake OF Ills
heir as the Borsen Zeitung says; though
we imagine that its future owner will
not find it easy to realize anything more
solid than distinction out Of his very
exceptional piece Of property. All the
experts who have scrutinized the
sapphire agree that it is a genuine
corundom. The "sappir" Of the books
OF Exodus and Ezekiel, like the
",sapphires'' OF Pliny, were probably our
lapis-lazuli.

CoTToN WAsTE.-Cop waste has
reached a price but one cent under cot
ton, selling at from 10 to ii cents per
lib.
This material is the refuse thread of
the mills, and is extensively used in
England in the poorer class of cotton
cloths by. pulling apart and using the
fibre again. A very ingenious machine
which does this work without material
~ damaging the fibre. Some mills in
the States use these new machines ex-
tensively. The business of exporting
cop cotton is of recent date, but little
having been done in it until last year.
The stock on hand is very limited,
and it is believed that not above sd
bales can be found in New York.

The Rev. DR.. G.. X. Marshall, Of Vicks-
burg, in the Planters Journal, says ::
eve have got to awake, and rise, and
work, and spend money, and employ
talent, and learning, and industry, and
make immigration the great question
of the hour. 1t is the greatest and most
conceivable. 1t matters not whether
many or few of the colored people de-
part. This is true. The spirit of I'M
rest, the rowing fever, has become a
sort of epidemic among them. 1t may
rage until tens of thousands leave our
State, or it may lull and fewer depart.
But this is all deceptive. The inocu-
lation has taken place. 1t is liable,
therefore, to break out at any time
hereafter. And our political enemies,
point, our exposed, most perrilous and
selves Of attacks upon it in all coming
time.
In this condition of things large sums
of money ought to be judiciously ex-
pended every year to illustrate the
great advantages of our States for the
permanent homes of honest tillers of
the soil. And while I think agents
should be sent to England and the
Continent, | think there should be
funds placed at the disposal of the
Governors of these States to enable
them to send some Of our ablest and
strongest men into the Western States
to deliver addresses on the superior
condition of our climate, soil and So
ciety for genial and remunerative labor.

boy innocently, following with his eyes

Come to me in dreams, love;
Oh, come to me oft,
When the light wing of sleep
On my bosom lies soft,
Oh. come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats low on the ear,
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and wave,
Wear their l0veliest blue,
When the dew's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come and We'll stray,
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
As the coo of dove,
And the gales are as soft
AS the breathfngs of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach.
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lesson they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
oh, come and we'll fly
Like two winged spirits
OF love, through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand,
On our dream wings we'n 20,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
And on bright clouds we'll linger
Through long, dreamy hours,
Till loves angels envy
The heavens Of ours.

A good way to get rid of rats is to
streW pounded potash in their holes.
The potash gets into their coats
and irritates their skin, and the
rats desert the place. To prevent
their dying in their holes and
becoming offensive, poison them
them by mixing half a pound of carbon
ate Of barytes with a quarter Of a
pound of lard. It produces great thirst,
the rats leave their holes to drink and
are unable to return.
