You will be surprised when l tell you

family in great confusion and distress,
never saw them in such a comfortable
way, and in such good spirits. The
worst was over, of course, and they had
all settled into the new order of things
as naturally as could be. My cousin,

room, looking so fresh and dainty as
she ate her crisp toast and slipped hot

Modern Mills and Milling.

The modern Touring mill is huge
structure, employing many men, and
the wheat is turned into flour by the
freight-train load daily. One of the
monster mills in Minneapolis. Mimi.
covers an area OF $50 by so feet, and is
seven stories in height. Its capacity is
1920 barrels daily. which requires
about 10000 bushels of wheat. or fifty
car loads, to keep the mill in operation.
1t does not depend upon the old-fash-
toned burr mill-stoues to convert the
wheat into flour, but the process of
manufacture is to first run the wheat
through brushing machine, the old
fashioned smut machine having been
discarded After the wheat has been
cleansed by running through the brush
machine it is run through corrugated
iron rollers, which split the crease OF
the berry open, thus liberating the dust
which lies in the crease, so that it can be
removed by boiling. A very small
percentage of low grade flour is
made during this first reduction. The
grain then passes through a process
technically known as scalping reel. to
remove the dirt and flour, after which
it passes through second set OF cor
rugated rollers, by which it is further
broken; then it is passed through Sec
ond reel, which removes the -four and
middlings. This operation is repeated
successfully until the flour portion of
the berry is entirely removed from the
bran, the necessary separations being
made after each reduction, sometimes
requiring five or six. The middlings
from the several operations are reduced
TO -four. after being run through the
purifiers by successive reductions, on
smooth iron or porcelain rollers. One
of the principal objects sought by this
system of grinding is to avoid all bruis-
ing OF the grain; another, to extract all
the dirt from the crease of the berry,
and a third to thoroughly free the bran
from the flour in order to obtain as
large yield as possible.
There are in Minneapolis twenty
eight of these huge merchant mills.
making it the largest -four manuiact-
uring place in the world. and its prod
ucts are sent TO all parts of the earth.
The grower of wheat no longer pat on
ICES the grist mill, but bu:s his four of
the retail dealer. The grist mills OF the
Eastern or Middle States are small and
unpretentious concerns. only useful in
grinding provender for the farmers
of the neighborhood for the purpose of
feeding their horses, stock and swine.
And even now they are forced to conn.,
pete with large mills in the West and
Northwest which make a specially of
grinding feed b. the ear load and send
ing it to an Eastern market. The mil
Ter of ancient times. who used TO be
regarded as an important factor of So
ciety, is nearly obsolete. and the time
is not far distant when he and his toll
dish will be relocated to the domain of
the fax-spinning wheel. the handloom
and the reaping sickle.

1t is pretty generally known. saws
the London Cuckoo, that when Mr. Gil
bert, the dramatist, and Mr. Burnand,
editor of Punch, meet in the same So
cial sphere. there is apt to be not little
exacerbation of feeling. The other
night. at dinner-table, notwithstand-
ing their having been placed as far as
possible apart, on Mr.. Gilbert making
some remark which created laugh,
Mr.. Burnand looked up and said:
"What was that, Gilbert? One of
those good things, | suppose, which
you send to Punch, but which never ap-
pear" To which Mr.. Gilbert made the
retort: "Well. l dom know who sends
the good things but there il one
thing certain-they don't appear"
